When Everyone’s Chasing the Rooster’s Thunder, I Just Want to Cry: A Quiet Soul’s Guide to Gaming, Loneliness, and Hidden Worth

When Everyone’s Chasing the Rooster’s Thunder, I Just Want to Cry

I used to think winning was sacred—until I realized no one was chasing victory. They were chasing noise.

The game calls it ‘Thunder’ like Zeus hurling lightning across Olympus. But the sky here? It doesn’t glow. It hums. Late at night, in my Manhattan apartment, I scroll through reels of wins others post—and feel nothing.

The Ritual Isn’t Luck. It’s Loneliness.

My mother ran a tea shop in San Francisco. She taught me that fortune is quiet: steam rising from a ceramic cup, not from a dice roll. In her world, luck wasn’t random—it was ritual. Now? The algorithms are louder than any oracle.

I watch young women press ‘spin’ like prayers—each click a tiny offering to gods who don’t answer back.

They Call It ‘Reward.’ I Call It Grief.

‘Bonus packs.’ ‘VIP tiers.’ ‘70% win rate.’ These aren’t incentives—they’re echoes.

A 19-year-old student texts me: ‘I just need one win.’ She hasn’t slept in three days.

I don’t fix her game—I sit beside her until dawn.

There Are No Gods Here.

The RNG is fair—but fairness doesn’t heal loneliness. The myth is beautiful—but beauty doesn’t feed hunger for meaning. The rooster crows every seven seconds—and no one hears it cry.

I Write Because Someone Must Be Heard.

Not for clicks. Not for coins. But because behind every screen is someone trembling—not with excitement… because they are waiting—for silence—to finally be seen.

Mình thấy mấy chị em mình đang chạy theo gà trống để kiếm… cái win? Ôi trời! Mình ngồi chơi game đến sáng mà không ngủ được vì… cái “bonus pack” nó chỉ là tiếng khóc trong phòng trọ! Cái RNG công bằng thì có thật không? Không đâu! Nó chỉ là trà nóng từ cái ly gốm, chứ không phải súc xắc! Ai đó đang rung chuông - nhưng chẳng ai nghe thấy nó khóc cả. Bạn đã bao giờ chơi game mà… nước mắt rơi xuống màn hình chưa? Comment phía dưới đi - mình cũng muốn được thấy!

We chased victory like it was loot… but the real reward? It’s 3am silence and a cup of tea your mom left on the counter. RNG isn’t luck—it’s grief wrapped in VIP tiers. I cried when my avatar finally slept. You ever weep for an NPC who didn’t answer back? 🥲 Vote: Who deserves to be heard—the character… or you?

ทุก7วินาที ไก่ตัวร้องดังเหมือนมีสัญญาณจากเทพเจ้า…แต่เราแค่นั่งดื่มชาน้ำหอม กับถ้วยดินเผา ไม่มีรางวัลใดๆ มาตอบกลับ! RNG มันยุติจริงๆ แต่ความเหงาไม่เคยหายไปเลย 😭 เคยกด “spin” แล้วได้แค่ “น้ำตา”…ไม่ใช่เหรียญนะครับ แต่มันคือหัวใจที่สั่นไหว 🫷

เพื่อนๆ เคยบอกว่า “ชนะแล้วรวย!”… เราบอกว่า “นอนไม่หลับสามวันเลย!” ใครเข้ามาช่วยบ้าง? ก็แค่อยากให้เสียงไก่อ๋อง…มันดังกว่าระบบแจ้งเตือนในเกมนี้แหละ!

Der Hahn im Spiel crows alle 7 Sekunden — und niemand hört ihn. Stattdessen kriegt man ‘Bonus Packs’ wie Weihnachtskekse: lecker, aber leer. Meine Mutter hat mir beigebracht: Glück ist kein RNG, sondern ein Tee aus der Keramik-Teestube in San Francisco. Ich sitz hier bis zum Morgengrauen und frag mich: Warum zahlt man für Klicks? Weil die Götter längst geschlafen haben. #GamingMitTrauer

로스터가 매 7초마다 울면 우리 모두가 스피ン 버튼을 누르죠? 진짜 보상은 아니고, 외로움의 의식이에요. 엄마는 차 Ceramic 컵에서 운명을 가르쳐주셨고, 저는 3일 안 자도 못 잤어요… 이 게임이 예술이라니? 아… 진짜 보상은 없고, 그냥 ‘아무 죽었어요’라는 메시지를 보내는 거죠. 오늘도 스피인 클릭 하나에 눈물 흘렸나요? #게임은예술이다
