Recently I started to play a mobile game called "Love & deep space" and I need to admit it - This game really surprised me.
When my ex-friend showed me this game, all I saw was: dating, pretty 3D, Korean looking men. I told her it's pretty and didn't think much of it because it wasn't out yet.
Few days ago while trying to get up from bed in the morning I suddenly remembered about this game and I decided to check if it's out. It was, so I downloaded it and started playing.
At the very beginning, the game was just a pretty looking game. I need to say that wasn't ready for the kinda limited but nice character creator (no possibility to change chair color & length - only available in photo booth option) and a voice modification option.
Main character looks pretty!
I just played through the story and my jaw honestly dropped when my game suddenly flipped to the side for a fighting section of the game
I was not ready, BUT I quite enjoyed it. Fighting reminds me about Genshin on mobile, dodge, tap, tap, tap, be careful of your health, etc.
Fighting parts aren't THAT hard, but at the same time you need to upgrade your cards and add things to them to make them stronger. Pretty basic stuff.
There are lots of fight related activities that give really nice rewards and drop materials needed to making your team stronger.
NOW THE BEST PART! - THE MEN!
Game has three love interests
Xavier - The sleepy boy
Zayne - The doctor
Rafayel - The artist
Each of them have his place in the story, and each is so much more than he looks like at the very beginning.
I honestly love Rafayel, maybe because he is an artist... he is also a little annoying, but it's also kinda sweet. I have the most memories with him and the highest lvl.
Furthermore, I love how going through the main story isn't the only way to interact with them. The game provides lots of options to spend time with them and learn new stuff about them.
You can go hunt for plushies in a claw machine or play a game that is like tic-tac-toe but with cats and cards, or you can take a photo with them. One of my many favourite things, I mean LOOK:
(in order, I mentioned them before)
I love it because in this mode you can actually REALLY change your MC's look, which is wonderful! You can change your hair length, color, change make up, outfit and add accessories. Also, you pick poses and background. You also can do pics of your MC, just him or couple pics or mix of everything!
Of course, the main story isn't the only thing, there are also plenty of 'side mini stories' that are unlocked by getting specific memories.
THE LAST THING, I TRULY FALL IN LOVE WITH!
I am a sucker for ASMRs, especially the ones with my favorite characters. I can spend HOURS listening to those.
This game has something similar! You unlock specific audios by obtaining the right memories.
There are two versions - the first version is more of a story thing so you can listen, but it has "subtitles" that describe what MC says and what is happening. You don't have to, but yeah, it's a bit hard to imagine what's exactly happening sometimes.
But the other version... ooooh the other version. It's made to be JUST listen to! No subtitles or anything, just... listen and enjoy what you hear
In summary:
I really fall in love with this game. It's so much more than I expected it to be. It offers a lot of rewards and makes it easy to obtain decent cards without throwing your real money away. Sure, it's gacha game, but it's not as annoying as it could be. Sure, you still can spend money for it if you want extra features, but if you look for a game that isn't just about spending your money, it's a good pick.
Animations look nice, cards are pretty, voice acting is good, story is ok I'd say.
As for me, it's a good game! I am recommending it! A lot!
I have only used it for a day, but I’ve found it to be very helpful in getting through the day
Facts:
What type of app it is: an app for having a chat with parts of yourself, as if on an instant messenger
Compatibility: iphone, ipad, mac, ipod touch, iOS 13.0 or later
Size: 20.3 MB
Internet required: none, works just as well offline
Does it share my data?: no
Lockable: yes, by facial recognition. This can be switched off
Light and dark mode are compatible with the phone’s settings itself, rather than the actual app settings
~
Personal thoughts:
Personal difficulty using(0 being the most easy, 10 being impossible): 1-2
How easy to add your parts: 2 (it can be buggy with the choosing colors)
How easy to switch between parts: 0-1
Personal avoidance level: 2-3(its so easy to use, its confronting af to see parts just talking like that >>;)
Some examples of how I’ve used it so far:
I’ve sorted out different sessions to be used as groupings for parts to safely talk. ‘The Cottage’ is the main chat for all parts to engage in. The ‘playroom’ is for little ones + supporting protector parts. Bunnies and Flowers are for sunsystems, ect.
A chat example from today:
As you can see, the different colors on the bottom can be easily named and switched between. Its as easy as choosing a color for the text to be posted as, really.
Initial thoughts: its so easy and shameless to use. The app was clearly made for IFS in mind, and as such comes pre-loaded with a bunch of emotions as personas. (Like talking directly to your shame, hatred, love, ect ect)
Its extremely basic so I consider it versatile, especially for people who might have less defined parts or maybe find it confronting to even address their parts by name.
Theres none of the complicated fuss you get with discord bots(if you have to type and program something in, i consider it inaccessible to me). Theres no data sharing or complicated interface like Simply Plural(i hate that app). Antar is literally like, what color you like right now? Thats your chat bubble now
Pros:
-extremely simple
-non-confronting because anyone with parts of self can use it, dissociated or not.
-you can have several chatrooms
-the interface is simple and non-distracting or hard to find your way around
-doesnt need internet!
- theres a cute little vent room!! The bg is animated and it really looks like your words are swept away in the wind. Looks like this:
Cons:
- The creator seems to list more features than it has? Or lists them on a way that it looks that way
- Setting ‘personas’ can be a little finicky. I had the worst time trying to get the right colors to set = =; I haven’t tried using images
- theres not really any in-app settings to change
-it can be very easy to accidentally delete sessions/chat rooms so be careful!
-i havent found a way to delete the default personas(all the emotions and whatnot)
-just generally a bit buggy? I hope the person works on it more.

Would I recommend this app to someone with OSDDID? Yes! Super easy if you’re looking for a digital way to have internal meetings and discussions. You could probably easily show it to a therapist too, now that I think about it.
A site for you to track your reading and choose your next book
So, if anyone is interested in an alternative to GoodReads that Amazon does not own and therefore can't use to inveigle their way deeper into your life for the purposes of bombarding you with yet more advertising, I recommend The StoryGraph. It's a fun site, has a companion app for iPhone and Android, and it's got a lot of fun tracking features that GoodReads doesn't have.
Previously I was using my phone’s default Books.app to read ePubs I downloaded from AO3, but the customization options suck.
I like to read myself a bedtime story at night in the pitch dark before I nod off, for which I need ultra, ultra dark mode to avoid eye strain: dark orange text on a black background.
Not only does this app let me pick any colors I want, or optimize any other view settings, but when I added an AO3 ePub, IT AUTOMATICALLY TURNED THE FIC TAGS INTO SEARCHABLE METADATA.
I CAN TAG SEARCH MY DOWNLOADED EPUBS WHEN I’M OFFLINE.
I have like 200+ AO3 epubs downloaded to my phone and with my previous e-reader the only way I could sort through them in an organized way was by manually sorting them into separate file folders, which I was, of course, far too lazy to do. Now I don’t have to sort anything - I can just search.
Plz tell me about korean social apps used in Korea which make me always read and listen to Korean language
I don't know exactly what you mean by that exactly, but I'm assuming you mean social media that is used in Korea / is mostly or all in Korean - forcing you to read, listen, and use to it all the time.
Technically, any social media can become that. You would have to follow a lot of Korean speakers/Korean learners and maybe even change the language to Korean on that specific social media platform or even your phone language - but you don't have to do that.
Korean Youtube Channel
A good Idea you could do is to make a new account for youtube and subscribe to only Korean speakers and It can become your Korean account. Not just korean teachers, but any things that you usually like to watch. For example, vloggers, gamers, cooking videos, fitness influencers, people who do fashion content, kids educational content, etc. But a less extreme version would be just subscribing to a good amount of Korean youtubers on your regular account.
Social Media Koreans Use
I'm sorry that I don't actually know a ton of specifically Korean sns, but I looked up a few
> NaverCafe
> KakaoTalk
> Line
> Cyworld
> Band
> Basically anything else like Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Etc.
TWITCH & V-LIVE App
V-live is a live-streaming app where you can watch livestreams of your favorite Kpop groups. Usually they speak only in Korean, but I'm pretty sure there are subtitles added on to past streams anyways. You can practice listening and reading.
Twitch is a live-streaming platform as well, that doesn't only have Koreans but these days Korean gamers are very popular. You can find a person that you like to watch and practice your listening skills.
NAVER (blogs, webtoons..) Apps
Basically anything naver. But Naver is kind of like the "Google" of Korea. You can find a ton of blogs in Korean over there about a wide variety of topics. Naver webtoons is a good place to find cool webtoons to practice reading and you can learn lots of vocab, phrases, and slang.
HILOKAL App
This is different from the social media mentioned above, but there are native Koreans ans Korean teachers here. Basically, there are chatrooms that you can go into and practice speaking with native Koreans and other learners. You can also do that for other languages.
LANGUAGE EXCHANGE APPS
There are some good language exchange apps out there that you can use to practice speaking and texting with native speakers. Some will work better for some people than others.
