mildly thrilling story about my experience with taptap
hello
i want to write something instead of preparing for my final exams (💀), so here you go.
So, me from about about a few years ago was, not doing well to say the least.
Long story short, I didn't really find real life amusing. And the "one and only" method I had left to cope with that was, ahem, consuming some questionable Japanese content. I will spare you the details of how, on some fateful days, I binge-watched anime for hours straight, and how, on some others, having my ass being glued to the screen only to try to find "suitable" materials. Instead, I am skipping all of that and jump to the important part.
let's pretend this was me lol
If you're a true Taptap "veteran" or whatever Actually, I think it still remains the same now, at least in my view, as I have just checked my homepage and the first thing came up was a fanart of a character from Honkai: Star Rail. Anyways, if I remember correctly, I found this app while looking for a specific anime game named (uh let me look it up on google first) Love live... school idol... festival.... Yes, my tastes were very awesome 😭. The thing about this app was (again, my own view) there were lots of anime related stuff up there. So it's fully understandable that it would appear during my "treasure hunt adventure". And it appears this app recommends a lot of anime stuff so, victory is mine I guess. I then installed the app, and...
I was tryna find an image for the game only, but Taptap shows up on top💀
And after that I got sucked into Taptap for a few reasons:
And I will elaborate a little more on the "events" part. There was this one event that I participated in. You can actually see my really old post about it still on my account. It's about writing a review for a game, and the prize was... 100$??? Surely the reviews must have been well thought out and- oh nevermind somebody wrote a genshin "review" with the most stale and generic comments and totaling to about... ~50 words as I remember. And it reached the tops. Bruh. I didn't won but nonetheless, it was something I enjoyed participating.
oh and look at this, this was the top post.
Another major thing happened after that. I was emailed by some of the Taptap developers or mods idk. They stated... I was invited to the their team?? Oh yes of course. Oh wait, the email was sent one week ago. Okay, they also mentioned their discord username and HASHTAG (yep, back when that was still a thing) so I should probably friend them to discuss more..... To this day, that person still hasn't accepted my friend request.
Back to the app itself, everything has to end as some point (in this case it's not really even a "good" thing). I was getting frustrated because my DAMN PHONE didn't have enough storage for literally anything. And Taptap took almost 1GB. So you know what this means... I uninstalled it.
And after that I only checked the status of Taptap every once in a while. There was the logo change. There was one time I came back momentarily just to write a review about the game "7 years from now" because I had just finished it (such a good game). There was that time I joined the discord server (and won an event there for the first time recently wow). During these times as I am writing this post, the discord server is actually kind of busy now with the events and threads.
And during those times, I felt like my experience with Taptap wasn't quite right. Could whoever that was that emailed me actually noticed my reply and then I ultimately became one of the "mods" of this app? Maybe I would still have the app and enjoy it to this very day if my decisions when buying a new phone was correct and not this piece of shit I'm using? Could I ever be a, even if just moderately, popular creator here, if I just tried?
But you're not here to read what I have to say about my life and such. We all have our own problems and sometimes cannot care any more than that. And as human beings, that is totally acceptable, albeit a little cruel. I have done my little "storytime" that I wished to do. And now it is time for me to sign off.
and now hopefully i can do my exams tomorrow well
