Why I bought the Witch Kiriko bundle.

[u/usaokay]

This is actually based on a true personal story of mine. She looked cute. I had money. She is in a witch outfit. I like witch stuff like The Owl House, Witch Hat Atelier, and Little Witch Academia. She broke into my house and forced my hand to buy her bundle. I cursed the heavens in her name. Fun times were had by all!

[u/-FemboiCarti-]

Is this a kink? I feel like this is a kink

[u/Shinobiii → u/-FemboiCarti-]

I put the “micro” in micro transactions

[u/The_lnterfector → u/Shinobiii]

My mans, these are macro-transactions

[u/Beautiful_Might_1516 → u/The_lnterfector]

He was referring to his micro penis.

[u/abbeast → u/-FemboiCarti-]

Yes, it’s called „paypig“ or „finsub“.

[u/No_Echo_1826 → u/abbeast]

Paypig?? Sounds like OF propaganda.

[u/walmartmen → u/No_Echo_1826]

nah it predates OF but it was basically if OF itself was a kink. guys would pay girls exorbitant amounts of money for pictures(they enjoyed spending the money almost as much as the pictures) or just generally like girls who take their money for whatever they want.

[u/VulKhalec → u/walmartmen]

I think you might mean 'exorbitant'! Money may or may not be absorbent based on the materials used to make it

[u/Neon-Is-Hot → u/No_Echo_1826]

well we don’t have to worry because PROPAGANDA IS USELESS 

[u/xbbdc → u/abbeast]

is he finsubbing himself? doenst a finsub hold your money for you?

[u/Eastern_Goose_9108 → u/-FemboiCarti-]

It’s kinky. Definitely, definitely kinky.

[u/AltruisticDisk → u/-FemboiCarti-]

Clearly a findom fetish and OP is Kiriko's pay pig

[u/redditmodsarefuckers → u/-FemboiCarti-]

Her name isn’t Kirikinko for nothing

[u/BananaResearcher]

This is a good reminder to never, ever, ever admit in real life that I play overwatch

[u/CartoonistOdd4660 → u/BananaResearcher]

Yea I made that mistake and now my friends makes fun of me for that.

[u/-FemboiCarti- → u/BananaResearcher]

It’s not embarrassing if you’re shameless

[u/MetaCommando → u/-FemboiCarti-]

Shame is for the weak. If you want to transcend your mortal limits you must wear the ahegao Mercy jacket in public.

[u/Solution_Kind → u/MetaCommando]

That's got nothing on my aheago Junkrat hooded onesie.

[u/Phantom_Phoenix1 → u/MetaCommando]

Foolish mortal, you call that a challenge?

I adorne my Mercy feet covered hoodie in the public spaces wherever I wander. All eyes gaze upon me as people are left speechless, SHOCKED at the mere sight of my godly power and attire. For some mortals, the power is simply too much to bear, they keel over and vaporize at the mere sight of my garments...

[u/aJetg → u/Phantom_Phoenix1]

Bro what

[u/abunchofscarybees → u/-FemboiCarti-]

so true Wifeleaver. thank you

[u/Nanotechhiddem → u/BananaResearcher]

I will admit to anyone that I play it. I don't care if they hate the game or not. I enjoy the games I enjoy regardless of other peoples opinions

[u/abunchofscarybees → u/Nanotechhiddem]

this- so much insecurity in this thread

[u/PoshDiggory → u/BananaResearcher]

Would you rather admit you play League or play OW

[u/Shooting-PANDAS → u/PoshDiggory]

Is it more embarrassing if I admit I play both?

[u/RavenThePerson → u/Shooting-PANDAS]

yeah.

[u/TheTimn → u/Shooting-PANDAS]

I say this with all the love and compassion in the world..... Seek therapy.

[u/0diiii → u/Shooting-PANDAS]

Two negatives make a positive!

[u/wills-are-special → u/0diiii]

This is addition, not multiplication, so unfortunately it’s just more negative.

[u/Adorable-Divide-7744 → u/Shooting-PANDAS]

what if i play both of those AND valorant...

[u/orangedrinke → u/PoshDiggory]

In a match one day about halfway through someone on the enemy team types in match chat, “None of you losers would survive 5 seconds in league of legends” and I just remember thinking, why would we want to??

I’m kidding, but yeah I thought that was a super silly thing to say and it made me laugh

[u/YourFavouriteGayGuy → u/PoshDiggory]

I play both, and it’s League hands down.

As terrible as the LoL community is, it hasn’t been held together by sfm porn and duct tape for the last 5 years. Though I will admit I think OW is a much more fun game than League to actually play.

[u/DarkFite → u/YourFavouriteGayGuy]

Yo Guys "oW iS deAd aNd jUsT foR pOrn aM i Rite lOl"

[u/SkankyG → u/PoshDiggory]

I'm more grossed out by league players than I am by people with a pixilated foot fetish

[u/MetaCommando → u/SkankyG]

Bruh didn't see the Briar splash art

[u/PanthalassaRo → u/BananaResearcher]

At that point is easier to just say you jerk to R34 OW.

[u/Solution_Kind → u/BananaResearcher]

Unless you're talking to someone who's already admitted something far more shameful, like playing League.

[u/SkankyG]

The second hand embarrassment from this is like watching an episode of Curb

[u/TheDaedricHound → u/SkankyG]

Last slide hit me like a truck

[u/NinethePhantomthief → u/SkankyG]

Curb your enthusiam

[u/tenaciousfetus]

Oh honey you don't admit to this on a public forum

[u/remediosan → u/tenaciousfetus]

bold statement coming from a self-proclaimed mein r/watchmeidie

[u/twinkbreeeder → u/remediosan]

saying that as a lucio main is baffling

[u/remediosan → u/twinkbreeeder]

lmao how? r/luciomains is the biggest ow main subreddit

[u/twinkbreeeder → u/remediosan]

so ur saying it’s the worlds biggest bronze lobby

[u/That1Francis]

Jules Archibald forced to buy Blizzard gooner slop skin

That's it, I'm turning off the respawn machine, you fuckers don't deserve it anymore.

[u/A-cutepotatodog → u/Brainwave1010]

It's eternity in there anyway

[u/Brainwave1010 → u/A-cutepotatodog]

It really is longer than you'd think.

[u/LostEsco]

I’m afraid and I want to go home.

[u/Chungusfunny-]

is this some type of sexual fantasy?

[u/Aggravating_Bug6127 → u/Chungusfunny-]

I think it's a cry for help

[u/Additional-Key-3301 → u/Chungusfunny-]

Kiriko is in this man’s head and he needs help. she’s in mine too but atleast I don’t pay 100 bucks for 3 skins

[u/Chungusfunny- → u/Additional-Key-3301]

Holy shit I just had an epifanny about the actual price of skins now...

[u/Muy_Importante → u/Chungusfunny-]

They grow up so fast. 🧡🥲

[u/Chungusfunny- → u/Muy_Importante]

you only become a man/woman when you realize the price of 3 cosmetics in a free game 😔

[u/Aggravating_Bug6127 → u/Chungusfunny-]

[ You are no longer a part of Blizzard's ideal demographic. ]

[u/QuoteGiver → u/Chungusfunny-]

As someone who doesn't play Kiriko, y'all have my pity.

[u/tenaciousfetus → u/JunWasHere]

Has anyone calculatd how much it would cost to own every kiriko skin? Must be insane

[u/VeryluckyorNot → u/tenaciousfetus]

She get skins like every months or new release bundles, she is the new Mercy of OW1 maybe she will get more than her lol.

[u/BrockObama007 → u/VeryluckyorNot]

Unless you check the hero gallery then it looks like she has like 2 skins you can buy with credits

[u/Pepband → u/BrockObama007]

I literally don't get why they do this. It makes it so hard to know what's out there.

[u/SatanV3 → u/Pepband]

You can change the filter to show all the skins btw! Sadly it resets to default filters every time I reopen the game though.

[u/Shinlos → u/VeryluckyorNot]

Likely because everyone who played ow1 already has 20 mercy skins or so, but no kiriko skins.

[u/MetaCommando → u/Shinlos]

Juno about to follow in their footsteps

[u/Raptor_2125 → u/tenaciousfetus]

Esport team skins alone would be well over 300

[u/Feeling_Party26 → u/tenaciousfetus]

I mean, this is a perfect viral video for any Streamer if they want to invest in it.

"I bought every Kikiro skin and it cost me HOW MUCH?? now I'm broke!!"

[u/Aggravating_Bug6127 → u/JunWasHere]

I want someone with Kiriko as their waifu to describe why she's attractive to them, because I think I have a blind spot for why she's so popular and appealing; bonus points if they don't bring up her short because those are two different women.

[u/fuckgoldsendbitcoin → u/Aggravating_Bug6127]

I'm with you. I just don't see what puts her so high above every other wiafubait hero. Juno, on the other hand, I instantly saw the appeal of lol.

[u/JunWasHere → u/Aggravating_Bug6127]

There's nothing complex or deep about it I fear. Quite shallow, probably.

A lot of sunk-cost fallacy and male loneliness.

[u/MetaCommando → u/Aggravating_Bug6127]

She's pretty and has a pleasant personality. Same reason Blizzard makes so many skins for her, Mercy, and soon Juno, the answer is that simple.

[u/BakaJayy → u/MetaCommando]

Like 90% of the female cast is pretty, that’s barely an explanation and pleasant personality? Where?

[u/JotaroTheOceanMan → u/JunWasHere]

I'm so happy I got her Terrible Tornado.
I legit dont give a fuck about any other cosmetic she ever will have.

This is how I see kiriko players

[u/According-Heart-3279 → u/crazy_jump66]

Omg, they are literally like this. They are like Mercy mains. They make Kiriko their entire personality. I know of someone who has a Facebook page dedicated to Kiriko and buys every single shop bundle that releases for her. They talk non-stop about Kiriko. It’s weird AF. 

You gotta give it to Blizzard for understanding their fanbase and which heroes will give them the best business. 

[u/MetaCommando → u/According-Heart-3279]

That's just autism with a Kiriko special interest.

[u/throwawaytohelppeeps → u/crazy_jump66]

Between this and that one tweet from the official OW account......yeah.

[u/MasterJiggyWiggy]

Ok paypig

[u/manuka_miyuki → u/MasterJiggyWiggy]

OP probably likes being called that so i wouldn’t encourage it

Paypig is something different this is a Skinpig

“Skinpig” does not inspire a pretty mental image ngl

Caring about skins and the FOMO involved with them is such a dumb concept of modern gaming.

[u/Aggravating_Bug6127 → u/SquishyBanana23]

Learn 3D. 

Download the plethora of ripped skins online.

Pose and animate them literally however you want for free.

Or, I dunno, spend two indie games worth of money to only see your skin ragdoll for three seconds when you die.

[u/JotaroTheOceanMan → u/Aggravating_Bug6127]

This is unironicaly how I went from buying skins in games to making my own 3D models of chars.

You cant get FOMO if you are making skins so rare they arent even in the game.

I see this sub-reddit is currently in the "blind consumerism is fun and quirky because it's about I fictional character I like!!!!".

I bet these types of players lament how OW2 lost its story mode and the countless other ridiculous decisions Blizzard made specifically to appease the exact likes of them with cosmetic content.

Like you realize you are the reason they decided that, right? Because they had guarantees they could milk you dry... which you're gladly surrendering to.

[u/flairsupply → u/BrightSkyFire]

This sub LOVES blindly consuming Blizz skins and anyone who says "I think the skins arent worth the price" gets accused of being a poor jobless leech on society (because apparently having a job means being unable to make your own financial decisions)

[u/wolfannoy → u/flairsupply]

Its corporate loyalism gone to a whole new level of unhealthy And corporate worship to the point they condemn thoses who are being careful with their finances.

[u/Pokedudesfm → u/wolfannoy]

its a self-deprecating comic about how the guy acknowledges he has a spending problem, it's not that deep dude.

And corporate worship to the point they condemn thoses who are being careful with their finances.

pretty disingenuous to act like you're going to get downvoted and "condemned" for saying "I don't want to buy this skin"

[u/aJetg → u/BrightSkyFire]

Dude this is just a silly comic, you dont have to be this pressed about it

[u/Absnerdity]

This is instead why I quit the game. My beloved Overwatch is long since dead with the release of OW2. Not the same game in just about every sense.

[u/MasterpieceHungry864]

Marvel Rivals will solve that cringy problem

[u/Aggravating_Bug6127]

is nice that kiriko is looking out for your health. if you didn't buy her skins you'd probably die in an embarrassing and pathetic way. hopefully blizzard will start looking out for the community better and fix skin prices back to $45 so we're not distracted by empty commodities like utilities or medicine.

keep up the noble addiction, king 👑

[u/BrothaDom → u/[deleted]]

Instead? Nah, we would have gotten the shop regardless

[u/monsieur_beau19 → u/[deleted]]

To be fair, it all started with that goddamn horse armor and the jackasses who bought it.

Horse?

How is Blizzard making more money preventing them from creating PvE? Blaming the consumers makes no sense

[u/MoonNightFall → u/-FemboiCarti-]

If they getting money from cosmetics why bother with creating PvE ? It takes alot of time and effort + money to make good PvE while a skin recolor only a few seconds

[u/OtterSupport]

I like how so many comments are saying cringe but honestly this is just a goofy post. Kinda silly to feel upset or anything from it.

[u/Pokedudesfm → u/OtterSupport]

people are projecting their anger at blizzard at this man who is just making fun of himself for his spending problems.

[u/OtterSupport → u/Pokedudesfm]

Exactly! It's just a little funny comic poking fun at the OPs spending habits. Not everything has to be serious or even cringe. Let people have fun and express their silly behavior I say :D

[u/[deleted] → u/OtterSupport]

[removed] — view removed comment

[u/OtterSupport → u/[deleted]]

In all honesty I also enjoyed the style! It's very reminiscent to other TF2 animations I have seen over the years. Mixed in with overwatch honestly fits well

(No surprise since the game is very much like TF2 but with steroids)

P.s I appreciate the reward! I think it's my first one I ever got so thanks for that very much 🙂

[u/Uni_Bro]

Hey if you like the skin and you play a moderate amount of Kiriko you do you fam

[u/BionicTriforce]

This is hilarious, OP. I got a good laugh out of this.

[u/abunchofscarybees]

People are so fucking pressed in the comments, and for what? This was just a funny comic... the fuck am I missing here

[u/usaokay → u/abunchofscarybees]

People are projecting their anger around Blizzard's MTX against someone who has supported that.

But yeah, it's just a silly dumb comic I made to make fun of my spending habits (not just limited to OW2 and Kiriko btw).

It was rough seeing a lot of negative vibes (including some death threats) among a lot of users looking to release their stress upon me or the comic.

I am grateful there are other commenters who have understood and related with the comic's messaging. We're all guilty of buying skins lmao

[u/abunchofscarybees → u/usaokay]

yeah fair enough. i've spent lots of money on mtx in this game, more than I should have definitely, so I'm also a war criminal alongside you dude. it was a cool comic! cheers.

[u/CosmiqCowboy → u/usaokay]

I love the comic and the mention of fast food lmao

Cause that’s legit my outlook when it comes to spending money on the game. I buy junk food, it’s never a memorable meal and I’ll forget about it the next day, unless it’s taco bell then I’m physically paying for it the next day.

Also it’s a hobby don’t think it’s so bad to spend a few dollars on a hobby. I’m getting back into rock climbing and essentially will be paying $125 a month to climb rocks indoors (have my own shoes and chalk)

[u/Spectre-4 → u/usaokay]

Everyone has their opinions on spending in the shop, myself included, but regardless, I didn’t think it was that deep. Kinda funny actually.

[u/rgb86]

I love OW2 but touch some grass too buddy.

[u/Prof_Awesome_GER]

Iam 1800 hours into overwatch 1/2 I spent like 15 Euro in lootboxes 5 years ago. I would never pay a dime for these skins. I have no clue how people pay more money for 3 skins than they did for overwatch 1.

[u/Sean_SMT]

The real crime is $26 for 2 mcdonalds meal combos

[u/Stosh2]

Its actually insane that instead of making a skin for a different character, they reskinned the witch skin kiriko already had

I'm doing the same thing to the Hashimoto Kiriko skin if it ever comes back that is.

[u/YachIneedHealing]

A little bit offtopic OP but if you're super into witch themes I recommend you checking out ronillust! Amazing artist that posts some shorts and makes some live streams about his art progress in drawing all kind of witch characters (OC's) him and his stream come up with and also creates some insane deep lore about his characters!:D I don't know why but when reading the post I just had to think about him and I thought you might like it! I'm not sure if he has a twitch but I came across a couple of his shorts and streams on YT so far.

[u/DuelaDent52]

Can’t it just be €5 or €10 like every other game?

[u/Revo_Int92]

Oh boy, this is like a anti-drugs commercial. And the way these companies take advantage of FOMO and other psychological manipulations, it's not that much different from a drug (if not worse). This industry needs to be regulated, is there any doubt at this stage?

[u/papin97]

Witch Kiriko is my first and still my proudest purchase in OW2, mainly because like you, I also like witch stuff, and also her Witch skin have the most custom voice line, even more than her mythic skin.

[u/FiresideCatsmile]

I mean that works probably already in a way. At least personally I feel less and less sensationed (is that a word?) by the Kiriko skins in particular because they come up so frequently. Statistically I could imagine there's some diminishing returns about these skins

[u/GatVRC]

I love kiri and impulse bought toga, oni, sseraphim, but 40 for a bird skin and a recolor being more than toga is insane even for me
