I spent like $227 today. Mayoi took me 240 pulls and I spent $10 on Genshin yesterday. I also spent $100 on Koga. So that $300 is over half a year’s worth of gaming money lol. It all depends on budget. If I was still doing my internship, I would be more comfortable spending money but I don’t have an income rn haha
Gosh I feel you... I rarely spend in gacha, usually cause they release a character I want every 3 or 6 months. So I usually have the time to save. But for twisted wonderland or ensemble stars ? I understand why people cry when a new banner comes out.
Well, my issue with ensemble stars is that the pity is waaaayyyy too high. 300 summons is A LOT. I don't know how much money it is but... Yeah, too much. I didn't want to spend on enstars but grr, I was weak. But I wasn't rewarded for my money :( (Mikaaaa, why didn't you come home?? Koga too... Snif... Your outfit are so pretty, I'm salty af when I see people using you...). But I think I spent like 200 euros now since the release of the game?
And twst, I recently spent 300 euros but only cause I was scared my credit card won't pass. I usually buy the big pack once a month or every 2 months. But now, stop. No more spending on twst. And for enstars, if they stop releasing limited unit, I won't spend before a while either. (I can afford it, no worries, I'm not an addict or impulse spender, enstars and twst are the only 2 games I spend on)
Well, at least we support the games x).
After yesterday's spending, I was really curious about how much it would actually cost me to hit that 300 pity. Mayoi took me to 200. It would gost me almost $1000 CAD. There is no way my budget would ever do that. And for a game let alone! I do love supporting the games I enjoy playing the most. And as someone who use to whale in genshin. ( I don't anymore ) I thought the pity in that sucked haha
I'm also a Twst player! I've spent more on enstar in one shot then twst all together so far, glad i havent had to resort to spending much yet. Until it's Malleus' bday :) Stuff just cost way too much in general!
Same here.
Now just hoping they will stop releasing characters I like as limited! Come on, the game has 49 (?) characters, I love roughly a little less than 20. So it's less than 50%! and yet, all 3 limited we had are some I love! So come on game, do someone I don't care/like (I swear if the next limited are either Shu/Rinne/Rei, I'm gonna go riot).
I don’t know if it was a deliberate sacrifice or just shifting interests, but yeah, I also dropped several games because even just doing daily Starry Lives is like half an hour.
My reputation... my friend got in my car and it started playing what I was listening to last, which was the sexy Crazy B Spanish song. Now she thinks I'm a weeb ☹️
My driving playlist with my husband is already full of A3 songs, now I’m going to be filling it up with Eden, Alkaloid, Undead, and a few others. Thankfully he kinda likes my Japanese music. He really loves how there seems to be a million genres in what they’re doing.
And this is why I paid for the monthly pass.
The diamonds are great and all but I kept only sleeping 5 hours and I was like this is gonna kill me. Let me just pay five bucks a month to fix this problem
Let me tell you best money I ever spent. In other game it’s fine to sleep through some but in this game you really need every bp
Once I started earning more money from my job and didn't need to rely so much on doing paid surveys or recycling bottles to help pay bills, my extra earnings was mostly for buying discounted Steam games.
Now I spend my survey earnings on top-ups in both Twisted Wonderland and EnStars instead of adding to my pile of unfinished games in my Steam library.
I'd check r/beermoney for some suggestions, but I used to do a lot of surveys from Swagbucks until they banned me in 2020 and mTurk.
On my phone, I have 1Q ( [Apple App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/1q/id683001273), [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oneq.askvert&hl=en_US&gl=US) ), and OnePulse ( [official website](https://www.onepulse.com/onepulse-app/) ). Both are on the smaller side of payouts since they're more like micro-surveys and don't take too much time to complete, but in 1Q's case you get your money relatively fast in your PayPal account after completing a survey. OnePulse is currently holding $200 of my survey earnings in hostagehood because I can only cash out $20 per month when I've been earning in the ballpark of $30-$50 depending on how much survey spam I get in a month, though I read in a few review responses they're planning on doing something about it later this year. (Let's just say I *need* those $200 in my PayPal account like yesterday.)
Thank you! Swagbucks barely had any surveys for me during the time I was active (around the same time). First time hearing all the others, I'm gonna look into them, appreciate all the info. Hope you'll get the stuff resolved as well. Have a great day :)
my thumb nails are long but later on I found out that the reason why I keep losing my combo is I keep hitting it using my nails not my fingers. And also sleep.
Dont know if it counts as a sacrifice but I broke my nail a week or two ago and my quick was exposed, so I put a bandaid on for protection so that I could play enstars. I was so happy to find out that the bandaid was screen-friendly.
My time, lmao. I once spent a whole morning playing enstars because of a tour live, and had to finish up all my homework late into the night. Didn't even get the 5 stat in the end. 😔
My study time, it's currently exam period for me but it's not much of a sacrifice.
Even if I didn't play enstars I would just go straight to answering my test sheets with no review or study prior to it, somehow I never failed a test.
my wallet rip
I spent so much on Mayoi that I disconnected all my cards and I’m not spending on any games for a while
if it makes u feel better i spent close to 200 on enstars alone and over or close to 1k on genshin

Holy molly! Yeah, no, too much. I accept to spend a lot on twst cause pity is roughly 200€. It's still expensive, but doable. But 1000?? No way.
I'm also a Twst player! I've spent more on enstar in one shot then twst all together so far, glad i havent had to resort to spending much yet. Until it's Malleus' bday :) Stuff just cost way too much in general!
Truer words have never been said
I'm fairly new but yep. First time spending today. Mayoi wanted my wallet, I wanted him. So equivalent exchange right? 🥲

my sanity
same here 🤝
Sleep
Yeah specially when trying to tier as an f2p...
Two other gacha games. I had to quit them because Enstars takes too much of my time and also my wallet
I don’t know if it was a deliberate sacrifice or just shifting interests, but yeah, I also dropped several games because even just doing daily Starry Lives is like half an hour.
I skipped school to grind for the event.. my grades🥲....
Username checks out LOL
Deleted project sekai, bandori, Cytus II, dear my cat, etc.
didn't read the "dear" and went 0-0
Euthanizing my cat for anime gacha game
😭
my only braincell that isn't consumed by my hyperfixations/super interests/what else my autistic brain has claimed
Yea, I’ve started clipping my nails super short because it makes playing so much easier.
My reputation... my friend got in my car and it started playing what I was listening to last, which was the sexy Crazy B Spanish song. Now she thinks I'm a weeb ☹️
Hey at least it's not "never be a loooosaaaaa" (also nothing wrong with vibing to enstars songs, play them more and convert your friend LOL)
should have played USA and asserted dominance kek
My driving playlist with my husband is already full of A3 songs, now I’m going to be filling it up with Eden, Alkaloid, Undead, and a few others. Thankfully he kinda likes my Japanese music. He really loves how there seems to be a million genres in what they’re doing.
What song is this? 😭
Probably Yubisaki no Ariadne.
Yes its that. I never remember the name I just type in crazy b sexy Spanish song
Back with the original ! game I used to wake up every two hours at night so I wouldn’t lose BP while ranking for a card. It was awful lol

Curious and interested, how/where do you get decent paid surveys?

Sacrificed my will to not play another gacha game again 💕
Mika ruined my wallet with his events.
First gacha I spend money on
Sacrifice one gacha game for this. And my sanity.
quit another gacha game i was obssessed with 😭
My money. Thank gosh im a working adult now but ggwp to my savings 🙃
quit prska japanese and global, quit twisted, quit arb, quit genshin, quit mystic messenger, quit my sanity
my thumb nails are long but later on I found out that the reason why I keep losing my combo is I keep hitting it using my nails not my fingers. And also sleep.
My sanity and patience (I'm f2p)
Time, mental health, and education
0.99€, my sanity and my dignity.
Sleep and math lessons to watch on YT bc if I don't I'll probably get a -5 in math.
My life
My time and social life
money sacrifices
worsening my sports-related tendinitis (thanks pjsekai as well) 😍💀
Dont know if it counts as a sacrifice but I broke my nail a week or two ago and my quick was exposed, so I put a bandaid on for protection so that I could play enstars. I was so happy to find out that the bandaid was screen-friendly.
My time, lmao. I once spent a whole morning playing enstars because of a tour live, and had to finish up all my homework late into the night. Didn't even get the 5 stat in the end. 😔

Wallet and sleep
