Tinder and video games, two incompatible domains? Not for this NieR Automata-loving gamer who’s made a point of it during her dating sessions on Tinder. Even the creator of the game Yoko Taro reacted to this unusual anecdote.
NieR Automata is one of those rare games that can brand players like no other title. But in the case of this young woman of 21, Jen, we are on another level…
She screams her love for NieR Automata on Tinder
The history ofThat’s it, as she calls herself on Twitter, has gone viral and we can see why. This fan, who adores NieR Automata so much that he built a small altar (visible below) with his goodies, has been using the game on Tinder. Not to find a one-night companion, but to promote the title and encourage as many people as possible to play. And once advertised, she ghosted her matches—in other words, she ignored them.
The worst ? It’s like these people paid for Yoko Taro’s work… hoping to impress Jen and move on. If she has not provided proof of this my boxwho is the relay of this story, which she managed to convince dozens of men, she sent conversations in which the flirts discussed the endings and other essential points of the scenario. “It was really crazy how many men bought it” she said, although she promised nothing more than an exchange about NieR Automata. And it wasn’t the requests that were visibly missing, with flirts, who would have seen it with the 2B costume.
I used to roam Tinder and get people to buy Nier Automata just to ghost them. By the time I quit, I think I’d persuaded 22 people. I never said I would sleep with them, I just talked about them a lot and recommended the game
. And then high sales mean more Yoko Taro games.
A few regrets…
In her Tinder bio, Jen is transparent: NieR Automata is her favorite game and she wanted someone to share her overflowing passion with. A fervor that has a less funny reason than this story. In fact, she discovered the title at a point in her life when she was “severely depressed to the point of suicidal because of an abusive family who molested her”. Suddenly seeing that some were not as thorough as her, they ignored her as they were unable to get what she was looking for. A conversation about NieR Automata and not a carnal relationship.
A circumstance that she deeply regrets:
I think the rudeness has made me a little more apathetic over time. Of course, I know that was pretty lame on my part too, but I think Yoko Taro’s games deserve more credit. I quit because I realized how casual I’d become about something so twisted. While some of them were actually gross, others maybe just didn’t like the game or weren’t very into analysis and theory, and I probably hurt their feelings.
She is now talking about NieR Automata on Discord
And today ? A happy ending on all levels. First there was this reaction from the creator of Yoko Taro to this story published by Kotaku. The person concerned contented himself with a “Glory of Mankind”, “Glory of Mankind”, which appeals to fans of the software. But that was enough to fill her with joy. “I cry at work. Being noticed by the legend itself sent me into ecstasy. Thank you <3".
She’s also joined a Discord server where she can freely pour out NieR Automata without the people in question wanting to sleep with her. All’s well that ends well except for those who spent a few dollars but hey it was for a good cause!
