2024 Summer Event: Casual Chat

[Lady Mekka]

Anybody else wait until the end of the event before getting any token pets? The past few events (like Easter and Halloween) I've started just collecting tokens and waiting until all of the pets/outcomes have been revealed/the end of the event before trading anything in. Maybe that's boring, but if I have to work to collect my tokens, I don't want to blindly use them for pets I don't want.

Yes, this is exactly the way I do it, too. I like hoarding, so I will wait until all the pets/items have been released before I decide how to spend my tokens.

I'm a completionist so it doesn't really matter to me if I wait or go all in. I also like to have my pets organized so it's much easier to trade for extras I didn't get and have them in the correct order if I do it the day of as opposed to waiting!

The bottle-shooting game reminds me how some crane games work:

They'll have a setting that determines how many plays until it will allow for someone to "win," like... 15 "losses" before it allows a "win."

I know it's RGN, but because most of us are playing for the pets, it kinda reminds me of that. I'm not really torn up about it, just doing things in between while I wait for the timer to be up.

I am being so forgetful with my banners this event, and it certainly won’t get better the next week as I’m going away xD but I have a bit and hope to just be better! Enjoying it tho!

i hope that we see the return of the scorpion lines during this event,,, they'd fit in perfectly! im not usually too fond of creepy crawlies but this little fella has always had my whole heart <3_<3. he needs some friends!!!!!!!!

the frustration people are having at the soda game is kinda funny bc the rate of getting a pet vs token is presumably no different than past years where you just click a single button it just feels more unfair because you perceive yourself having an influence on your outcome lol

i’ve started just pressing play and refreshing the page so i don’t even have to bother clicking the bottles lmao

Could also be some new players who are experiencing the summer event(s) for the first time, but that's just a thought.

How has everyone's luck been with the snail hamsters you get at the post office? I've gotten 6 of them, and 5 have been the brown outcome. I can't tell if I'm just unlucky or if that outcome is more common

I have been here for 13 years this year (as of Aug 2!!! my 13th CS birthday is fast approaching), and can confirm I have a personal vendetta against the graphic and the fake feeling of control and I 100% know that it's entirely randomized just like every other year
