    How Much Does R3 REALLY Cost? Game Dev Runs the Gacha Math | Love and Deepspace

    Ah yes, the gacha-economics episode that begins with Pimp Xavier and ends with a sexually compromised peanut-butter sandwich. Welcome to Love and Chickspace! Mama Void came to thirst, Nikki Tea came with math, and Carter in the Basement is cackling at both of them. This week on Love and Chickspace we're still talking about THOSE fits, Bondage Bunny-induced Discord mutes, Blobbus brainrot, and then Nikki goes full Game Dev Battle Girlie with a Monte Carlo simulation on what the Precise Wish part of Love and Deepspace gacha ACTUALLY costs. If your wallet has ever whispered "just one more 10-pull" — this one's for you.  New here and running on gacha brainrot and bad decisions? Subscribe and join the chaos.

    Fashion, Agency, and the Endless Reincarnation Cycle No One Is Getting Free From

    We asked the questions that actually matter in Love and Deepspace this week: Does Xavier need to fire his stylist? Is Zayne's myth a crime against MC? And can Caleb pull off an apron, Squirtle glasses, and knee-high green boots all at once? Spoiler: he can. Mama Void and Nikki Tea spiral through a full outfit-crime audit of the boys' new looks — crushed velvet Xavier, lapel crimes, the K-pop era of Rafayel, and the crowning jewel: Caleb as the Riddler?! Then we go full lore-dive into Zayne's Master of Fate myth and why Mama is genuinely mad about it, the theory that we're all stuck in an infinite cycle of iterations with MC as the "aberrant" driving it, and whether Rafayel is THE Sea God or just A Sea God. Plus: figging (please don't look it up), a newly adopted koala named Aldee, Vex the Keeper of the Unholy, white pants promises, and a very unhinged birthday stream plan.

    We Survived a Year of Love and Deepspace Together (Anniversary Special)

    One year. Zero adult supervision. Still no apologies. It's officially been a year since we lost our jobs and accidentally became podcasters — and somehow, you're still here. Thank you, genuinely. Now let's get unhinged. This month's live is a full year of chaos, gacha brainrot, and emotional damage packed into one episode. We rank the best and worst banners (there IS a correct answer, and it's not the wedding ones), rage at Carter's recent RNG crimes, debate whether "Romantasy" is a real genre or just marketing hallucination, and Mama Void unveils her custom Fae Caleb while Nikki asks the questions that get us demonetized. In this episode: 00:00 — Happy one-year anniversary, baby 03:09 — Gym stories gone sideways (form correction is NOT a love language) 10:35 — A year of inside jokes: turpentine, jiggle physics, and that poor koala 17:16 — Mama Void's Fae Caleb customization deep dive 24:21 — The Promise card clothing logistics we simply cannot forgive 38:15 — Favorite and least favorite banners (a ranking, and a threat) 1:00:48 — Carter's been acting up and we have receipts 1:04:24 — Myth events: epic saga or beautiful grind? 1:08:13 — Our favorite quotes and recurring bits of year one 1:14:25 — National Big Boobs Day and other essential calendar updates 1:16:16 — A real thank you, and where we go next If you've been riding with us through a year of this, you're basically family — the feral raccoon voidling kind. Join our memberships for the After Dark special this Thursday, because the best of us doesn't fit in a clean description. -- Music provided by Chillhop Music Shin-Ski - In Your Arms https://chll.to/299a28b3

    Love and Deepspace's New Martial God Myth: Our Take on the Themes, Suppression & More

    This week the girls turned a Martial God into a hair debate, a karaoke brawl, and a seven-hour sob session — sometimes all at once. Mama Void got hard-pitied for the good of the group, Nikki Tea has adopted a six-legged horse named Sleipnir, and Zayne should never be trusted with a Long Island Iced Tea… Grab your tissues and your wallet: inside we've got the new Suppression combat mechanic broken down, the real reason those outfits are priced to make your brain glitch, and the fourth-myth design pattern that proves Infold planned these boys further out than you think. Plus — Gamescom survival intel: Infold's hall, the level-60 giveaway rule, and why Nikki keeps telling you to wear good walking shoes. Timestamps below, friends.
