[half trench]

A highly intellectual conversation about enjoying ones own flatulence.

[orchid venture]

mind you our digested parts are meant to smell bad as a sign for you and other beings that its already processed and used food, so please do not inhale any of that

[half trench]

I'm afraid I can't comply. Especially as I've already ingested a lot of spicy bean dip. And I've locked myself in a room where little air can escape.

[orchid venture]

I must ask why

[half trench]

The combination of spice and beans are indeed exquisite and having an air proof room is quite a great way to experience intense light headedness.

[orchid venture]

cant tell if its better or worse than getting drunk

[half trench]

I don't really drink though I've been drunk once. But I don't like hangovers so I avoid it.

I think its gonna be bambi for me

simba grew a lot from this n wouldnt meet pumba n timon otherwise so thatd change his character a lot ariel had lots of sisters to console for her mom and I think she grew strong from that and for big hero idc about ngl and for Bambi his mom was closest to him and she was all he had whereas his dad rarely ever visited him n raising him alone was very hard for both bambi and his dad so I feel like mother missing here made biggest impact

[patent notch]

Always the cat for me

[dreamy oracle]

Yes.. It has Everything The Sim Team Failed to Give us like Car, ColorWheels, Modular Furnitures & Open World

I'll Drive a 2014 Panamera 4S Executive in INZOI as Personal Vehicle(and Symbol of Freedom, Never Fall for Sim Gaslighting again) before I Bought a SCEO LX550 HL AWD(to Keep it as Backup incase Panamera Fails) During Bulldozer Mission where I Destroy Apex Camp for Attempting to Drag my Girlfriend into Dead end of Gaming

[dreamy ferry]

i miss the sims 2 and 3, playing them in their prime before 4

[dreamy oracle]

Mcai I'm also Glad that I quitted S*** Forever because How Stale 4 is...

They are Depressing Orwellian Casino Island

[dreamy ferry]

EXACRLY it’s literally so stale even though they say it’s supposed to be new and all of these emotions and stuff it’s just a buggy rushed game

They failed to deliver on so much

[old topaz]

yes

[dreamy oracle]

Yeah 4 was Supposed to be Most Innovative but Indeed Failed to Deliver what We Wanted

[dreamy ferry]

Just look how the high school was supposed to look compared to how it ended up like

it was so empty and boring

[dreamy oracle]

and D*MN URGENT BUGS THAT NEVER GET FIXED ARRGHHHHHH!!!

[dreamy ferry]

Exsctly, how can you go from open world, decent graphics, this and that to a closed world buggy game that sells for full price

which all of most the dlc is broken

😔

[dreamy oracle]

and Riddled with Spaghettis 😔

[dreamy ferry]

Literally, like i know sims 3 was buggy af especially with isla paradiso but atleast it was good

[dreamy oracle]

The Only Good Thing about 4 is Graphics(I Hope the Spite Porter will Port All the CAS Assets over to INZOI the Same way as Skylines having SimCity 2013 Musics)

[dreamy ferry]

Sims 4 graphics are pretty decent honestly, the only issue i have is how bad some of the textures are HAHAHA

Sims 4 was just a wreck idk

I don’t have much hope for 5

[dreamy oracle]

INZOI will be Nicknamed How S4 should've been

and Me neither on 5(Going to be Apex Game instead of Solid Game)

[dreamy ferry]

I WANT TO but it’s hard when games like inzoi and paralives are coming out

[dreamy ferry]

exsctly

which is why i’m so excited

inzoi IS EVERYTHING. a life sim should be

[dreamy oracle]

YES EVERYTHING S*** FAILED TO SUPPLY US and Do you have Dreams on Riding Car in INZOI, becaue I rode my Personal Black Panamera 4S Executive 2014 with SCP-013 as Driver

I dont have much Hope on Rene Project because It's Going to be Apex Gaming(Dead End) instead of Solid Games

hi

[broken quiver]

My daily dose of lowering performance expectations:

https://wccftech.com/unreal-engine-5-annihilates-performance-1080p-rtx-4080/amp/

Though the article says this demo in the article is not optimized

https://tenor.com/view/the-woobles-woobles-pierre-penguin-cheerleader-gif-11663686021371637954

So go Krafton.

[hybrid crag]

Inzoi will be an open world realistic game so I won’t mind if it’s high graphics because I’m tired of buggy low specs life sim games

Not every game can be for low specs pcs so I really hope people don’t put too much pressure on the devs

[broken quiver]

I don't think it will be low compared to Sims. I just wanted to highlight the challenges that the devs are facing

[hybrid crag]

I was just talking about the people that keep pressuring Inzoi to be low specs sorry for ur misunderstanding ❤️

[half trench]

https://tenor.com/view/kelsea-ballerini-dibs-funnel-cake-carnival-hungry-gif-9762055

You're not you until you have a funnelcake.

I'm stealing company slogans and making them mine.

[hybrid crag]

I hope Inzoi doesn’t try to change tho because we deserve to have a good life sim game people need to stop pressuring Inzoi to be very low specs like gurl no it’s not Roblox 😭😨

https://tenor.com/view/sad-sad-cat-cat-depressed-depression-gif-13240550249247957481

[broken quiver]

Lol nah it's all good. There article game was unoptimized and had lowered performance for a 4080.

[hybrid crag]

Okieee

https://tenor.com/view/riize-reaction-riize-anton-riize-shotaro-anton-shotaro-gif-17848125268819751065

[half trench]

Yep. Low end PCs, PS5, and Switch are holding back gaming. And I'm quite tired of it.

https://tenor.com/view/sass-sass-birthday-gif-23484383

[hybrid crag]

It’s the way sims 4 fans are thinking every game is supposed to be low specs all because it’s life sim, obv not every game has to be because it’s an open world amazing game, they’re still gonna have a ton of people playing

[broken quiver]

Lol I think it's actually the XBOX series S (?) or whatever they're called. The lower end Xbox that devs have to cater towards before they can put it on xbox

[half trench]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-wink-gotcha-you-tube-thanks-gif-19039548

[hybrid crag]

Oh noo

😢

[broken quiver]

That's why games are delayed releasing to xbox

[hybrid crag]

Oop

No wonder why ps5 is getting more popular than xbox

[broken quiver]

https://www.gamingbible.com/news/platform/xbox/xbox-series-s-limitations-slammed-following-release-delay-579443-20230804

[hybrid crag]

I wish most low specs people would just stop pressuring every game to be very low specs it’s cutting down so much potential

[broken quiver]

Well eventually I heard BG3 was released on Xbox after optimization

[hybrid crag]

Even I have low,specs but I never wanna pressure other game devs because it was always so fun no matter what to watch others playing

When I was young my pc couldn’t handle most games but it never stopped me from enjoying YouTube vids of gameplay

[broken quiver]

Usually games have different settings to make it playable. It might not be as pretty, but we probably can tone stuff down for performance

I have a mid tier GPU. I'm sure I'd be able to play it but probably not at highest settings but I'm not going to buy a new card lol

[hybrid crag]

Yep

[broken quiver]

I agree the game should not look like it's been released 10 years ago. 😅

[hybrid crag]

https://tenor.com/view/anton-anton-riize-riize-reactions-lee-chanyoung-riize-gif-2525400197936968825

Sims 4 is actually a decade old game

It’s been 11 yrs

[broken quiver]

Yeah. I play old games too. Oh Sims doesn't look too bad for a 10+ year old game

[hybrid crag]

Yep

[broken quiver]

I'm currently playing a 20 year old game (Trails in the sky). Hehe it has it's charm.

[hybrid crag]

But no wonder why it’s so buggy because it sposed to be for low specs and 11 yrs old 😭

[broken quiver]

Lol still runs better than Sims 3 for me. Lol

[half trench]

Actually it's been disproven that the S has been holding back releases. It has more features than the PS5 and runs at a higher FPS. The only thing it lacks in comparison is the GPU. These delays come from either incompetent devs using that as an excuse. Or it's Sony paying people to delay them, make them exclusive and having them come up with an excuse for it. It's been well documented in the ABK FTC case that's what Sony does. Amongst various other anti consumer, anti competitive tactics. Breaking anti trust laws. And even after getting heat for it they're still doing it. Besides most of these games are Windows OS based. The same OS Xbox runs on. So there shouldn't be issues causing problems or delays. These journalists are constantly using propaganda to discredit and lie about Xbox. They've been doing it for years because most are biased or PS fanboys. But whatever let them keep discrediting themselves and exposing their selves as "journalists" with no integrity. Because they certainly don't use facts.

[hybrid crag]

Idk why it’s sooo buggy for me

Sims 3 runs fine for me tho

[broken quiver]

Lol I'm a PC gamer. Just skim these headlines. I know Wukong also removed (delayed?) the release on Xbox. About being on PC, I don't think that really affects whether or not it gets released on Xbox because the devs can make the requirements higher.

Xbox series S is a budget Xbox 🤷

[hybrid crag]

I play on my laptops but I usually only play Genshin or Roblox on my iPad

[ionic jewel]

Just read the rules 😂🤦🏾‍♂️…I guess this is a bit off topic ha

They pretty much just resorted to ripping off Modders content and adding it as inferior content for $35 😳. This breaks the mods forcing you to buy the nonsense if you want to continue playing that way. They added dating apps as a mod like Years ago

Here EA comes with “Lovestruck” it’s sad 🙄

@still tinsel

Well ladies and gents now we know why Life Sims are mostly a niche genre where we fork up the 💰 for every little add-on 🤷🏾‍♂️😂.

[paper sandal]

ITS THE GUY FROM MY NAME IS EARL

[hybrid crag]

This is how I can tell you only played the 4th game😂 The features their adding with a pack/base game update already existed in previous games way before these mods

[ionic jewel]

So dating apps existed in the old base games? I played Busting out through 4

[hybrid crag]

Sims 3 had a dating app/website(did I ever have luck….rarely🥲)

Also I didn’t mean what I said negatively if it came out that way

[covert niche]

You could lie on your dating profile on sims 3 and dates could react negatively to it lol

[ionic jewel]

No worries! Man I guess it’s all a blur now…it’s been a long ride since Sims 3 in my head lol.

[ionic jewel]

Well damn! We’re just a bunch of putzes buying these drip-fed expansions then lol.

[ionic jewel]

@sonic scroll I mean really? You think so? The 4060 not with it for someone that wants to get some good raytracing?

[sonic scroll]

Paying 100-300€ more for a card thats just 5-10% better than the 3000 series...?^^

Not worth it

[ionic jewel]

I mean when you put it like that lol…man can you imagine get 120fps ultra setting with raytracing on at 4k? 😂👌🏾

I thought my 4090, 13900k, 64gb DDR5 would eat up everything…psssssh

[sonic scroll]

I can with a 2060 super...?

[ionic jewel]

Really? 🤔In what game?

[ionic jewel]

No freaking way!

[sonic scroll]

No current game at least, but like Modern warfare 1 - 2 for example

Like the games that came out in that time

But to be fair, the 2060 was never meant for 4K so it was a suprise to be sure

https://tenor.com/view/surprise-to-be-sure-but-welcome-gif-18188317

[ionic jewel]

Oh, but I said with raytracing on….at 4k… lol

[sonic scroll]

Yes, i know

2060 was the card that introduced it? xD

[ionic jewel]

Im talking about the games not having raytracing…are they remix games or something?

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/rtx-remix/

Nevermind…man i forgot raytracing started ALL the way back then lol

[sonic scroll]

Ray tracing is pretty old meanwhile xD

[ionic jewel]

At least the advertised it for MW2

I thought you were cranking out 120fps in CP2077 with raytracing on at 4k….I was like, boooooooy stop lol

[sonic scroll]

Well 4K with raytracing would absolutely work, but not with 120fps and full max settings

But thats more likely due to the poor optimization of cyberpunk xD

[ionic jewel]

I think it’s the level of fidelity…actually usually path tracing etc….that game is a masterpiece. Inzoi will give it a run for its money in fidelity from what I can see…

Maybe not!

hey

[half trench]

Yeah maybe.

[dreamy ferry]

Hold on wait, there’s rumours sims 5 is cancelled??????

I only just realised this, if it’s true it means inzoi has A LOt less competition

The game looked pretty good when they revealed game play though (sims 5) so i’d be suprised for them to just ditch the project

Unless the heat is getting a littleeee too hot for them

[edgy oracle]

i dont think i'll ever get sims 5 last time i bought a sims game was ts4 physical copy in 2014 and got bored of it quickly

[dreamy ferry]

Oh yeah dude i remember picking up the sims 4 after watching the launch trailer and being so so dissapointed by how it was released

Missing so many key features which some of them still aren’t fixed properly today. Going from an open world to a closed world.

It seems like they just went backwards from there.

[edgy oracle]

ya i remember at that time it had no toddlers pools and map was blank

seemed they rushed it

[dreamy ferry]

Exsctly, it seemed so rushed after they had ALLL of that time and all that revenue from the sims 2-3

And it was just basically wasted in a game that just realistically sucks.

I have all the physical copies of sims 1-2-3 and i still play them all today bar 1

I can’t get ts1 to run sadly but i fixed my sims 2

[half trench]

Man. I haven't played Sims since Sims 3. The only memorable thing was they had actual songs like from bands such as Trivium but they spoke that gibberish language. 😂

[dreamy ferry]

But the sims 2-3 and medieval were definitely the highlights of my teenhood

[dreamy ferry]

YESSSSS

I loved the fact that the sims 3 had gibberish simlish songs people know irl 😂😂😂

[edgy oracle]

i never played sims mediaeval

[dreamy ferry]

Same with the sims 2 having songs, they were more like emo though i feel

[dreamy ferry]

Honestly it is a really good game i love it.

[edgy oracle]

there was also castaway and bustin out

[dreamy ferry]

ugh cast away was amazing, i never got into the other one though

sims 2 on the ds aswell

LORDD

[half trench]

I remember when I first heard it. I was like no way. They have Metal bands? And irl ones at that. Hell yes! 😅

[edgy oracle]

tbf some of gibberish songs in simlish sound better than original english

[dreamy ferry]

Exactly 😂 I think the sims contributed to my emo to metal head pipeline to be honest…
I was very emo when i was younger with a mix of metalhead and as i went on i just enjoyed proper metal more

[half trench]

A Medieval sims I'd be all over that. Especially Viking Age.

[dreamy ferry]

Oh they do for sure

[dreamy ferry]

Yeah the sims 3 medieval was like you’d run a kingdom and shit and play as like

the queen or a spy or a wizard etc etc and do different tasks to help improve the lindon

kingdom*

It was and is so much fun

Also the pirates expansion

That was good too

[half trench]

I was a Goth kid in my teens. Then slowly transitioned to a Metalhead. The first band that got me into Metal was As I Lay Dying on MTVs headbangers Ball. When MTV wasn't all crappy reality shows. That was probably in 2006. And I'm still a Metalhead today. Once a Metalhead you die a Metalhead I say. 😅

[half trench]

That would've been so cool. And Pirates. Yeah I'm definitely about that raiding and pillaging life lol.

Another band I was really into at that time (in my teens) was Evanescence. I had a crush on Amy Lee then too lol.

[dreamy ferry]

As I Lay Dying were pretty good. And yeah MTV from the small things i’ve seen was much better but kinda just turned into a shitty reality show channel. I agree though, once a metalhead always a metalhead there’s no leaving this 😂

Lifetime commitment

[dreamy ferry]

Oh god don’t, i definitely had a crush on evanescences amy lee aswell. Evanesence was a big part of my teenhood.

She’s just such a good singer, her songs were and still are so good. They come on the radio at work sometimes 😂

But i have to say i’m more of a death metal/black metal person now. The transition from very emo bands like Attack Attack! and Hawthorne heights and stuff… Black veil brides too..

To then through bands like Slayer and such finally getting into the metal pipeline

And then i landed myself comfortably in bands like Tomb Mold and Exhumed, Ingested Necrophagist etc

I’m seeing cannibal in september and hopefully sepulturas last gig with obituary in november i think it is.

[bold burrow]

https://www.youtube.com/live/yER-wrOCHFo?si=lZYqMoFbfey4YfgV oh shit

[half trench]

Love As I Lay Dying, Bands like Job For a Cowboy, 3 Inches of Blood, Arch Enemy, etc. There's probably so many bands I've come across and forgotten about because they're either not around or I just stopped listening to because I forgot. Yeah MTV is trash now. Good to see a lifetime member of the Metal community. No weekend warriors here lol. I still hear Evanescence from time to time on the radio too. They're still around but their new stuff doesn't get any airtime. No idea why. But I assume it's because they're no longer with a big label. But yes she's such a great artist. Love some Death and Black Metal. I'm just into Metal in general. Used to be super into Cradle of Filth. Although that's more Gothic of course. Have an ex from Sweden who was obsessed with them. But bands like Dimmu Borgir I love. Never listened to Attack Attack or Hawthorne Heights. But I do like Black Veil Brides. Still jam to them from time to time. Slayer's such a good one. Megadeth, Pantera too. Never heard of Tomb Mold or Exhumed. I'll have to look them up. And Necrophagist. One of my favorites is a Doom Metal band from Sweden called Draconian. Damn. I wish I could go see a concert. But unfortunately I'm so busy taking care of family and working I don't have time. Last concert I went to was Avenged Sevenfold and Papa Roach years ago.

Lol. Sorry for the long paragraph. 😂😅

[dreamy ferry]

Where is that stream i can’t find it on their youtube chancel

channel*

It’s going to be really bad i fear i have no hope for this new pack lol….

[bold burrow]

its starts in 9 hours

[bold burrow]

not even released and its already a rabbit hole mania

[edgy oracle]

i wonder how much longer they will milk sims 4 with unwanted DLC's like no one asks for

[half trench]

Probably like Rockstar. As long as people keep buying they'll keep milking.

[edgy oracle]

yea gta online is even worse i use to play it but stopped like in 2018 and never looked back

[dreamy ferry]

Some fire taste there man, and yeah there’s some staples i still remember but there’s a lot that’s probably been lost to time. Absolutely same here, it’s good to see other people who have been in the alternative/metal community for most of their lives!!
Yeah new evanesence isn’t bad but radios here usually play the hits.. Bring me to life is the most overplayed song of course… 😂 I agree it’s most likely because of a smaller label perhaps or people just are too stuck in the past with their old hits.
Cradle of filth were pretty decent, i cant say i still listen to them as much as i did but they definitely had a moment…
In the black metal aspect i very much like things such as hulder.. very medieval vibes. I saw her live and she was brilliant. I saw gorgoroth life but personally they were okay but not the best gig i’ve ever been to. Saw carpathian forest earlier this year and that was great. My most recent gif was Abbath and hellripper and i’ve gotta say i’m not that much of a fan of Abbath… But hellripper is pretty good. I partake in the liking of black speed metal aswell, i saw butcher at incineration in london along with Carpathian and Belphegor and such.

Slayer is a good one it holds up. And yeah Tomb am old and Exhumed are very death/gore id say. Necrophaghist and TM are probably some of my favourites in recent years. Also also newer bands like Morgul Vale (LOTR refrenced band) and Necronautical are very good.

[edgy oracle]

least with older sims games they did 4 years of good content sims 4 is still going 10+ years of unwanted content

[dreamy ferry]

Doom is very very good, personally i like it a lot. And that’s a shame man i’m sorry, i hope you get the time to go though at some point!!!

I wanted to go to Beyond the Gates this year in norway but i just don’t have the money or time off to spare unfortunately… But i have cosmic void festival to look forward to again for my birthday which will be super fun!

Cosmic, Sepultura and Cannibal are my only gigs left this year, hoping maybe to catch blood countess too if she tours up here.. She’s another good historical/medieval artist!

And you’re okay, i type a lot too 😂

[dreamy ferry]

Ugghhh yeah i heard about that… so many rabbit holes it just makes me so tired.

I bet there will be countless amounts of loading screens too.

Makes me just want to play sims 3 more and inzoi…

[bold burrow]

the flower shop is a rabbit hole and the hotell

[dreamy ferry]

Forever they’re so money hungry 😭

[bold burrow]

do it nun wrong with playing with older game

sims 2 did it for me

[dreamy ferry]

THE FLOWER SHOP IS A FUCKING RABBIT HOLE???????

[bold burrow]

yessss

[bold burrow]

LOLLL

[dreamy ferry]

Yeah sims 1-2-3 will always be my babies, i’ve got them displayed on my shelf for easy access whenever the sims 4 dissapoints me with another cash grab pack…

[edgy oracle]

i use to have sims 3 on discs but not anymore i had a few limited edition copies too

i still have the limited edition content in my game i got in like 2010 - 2012

[bold burrow]

i love sims 1 cuz they werent scared to be explict unlike sims 4

[dreamy ferry]

you should totally recollect them, personally i think non digital media is very important. like if i loose my account for ea im screwed

but having a physical copy gives me security

for any game really

[edgy oracle]

what i loved about sims 2 is it's soundtacks ost in build buy cas i got a mod in my sims 3 game i replaced it with sims 2 tracks for cas build buy

[dreamy ferry]

ughhh sims 2 soundtracks are so good i completely understand why you’d do that

[bold burrow]

the sims 2 song when u open the game

its so

calming

[bold burrow]

sadly i am poor

[bold burrow]

i get what u mean

[edgy oracle]

my favourite one from sims 2 is when it goes bob bob bob bo (sim time sim place lemon jelly remix)

[bold burrow]

i love how elder sims 2 sound like elders

[dreamy ferry]

ONG YES

I LOVE

THAT SOUND TRACK

it’s so silly and goofy

[dreamy ferry]

exacrly

[edgy oracle]

well sims 2 by the way turns 20 years old this September lol i feel old i played since 2004

[dreamy ferry]

tbh in my opinion they said the sims 4 would be basicslly innovative and feel more alive than ever but realistically it doesn’t. the sims in 2 have more character than i think any of them ever have

say it’s just biased nostalgia BUT

i rest my case 😂

[bold burrow]

jesus

[dreamy ferry]

jesus christ

[bold burrow]

sims 4 anniversary all we got was a hot tub lol..

[dreamy ferry]

right? and wasn’t it also just retextured

[edgy oracle]

i remember on sims 2's 10th anniversary they were giving it away for free

[bold burrow]

they coulda been like since its our anniversary were gonna fix the dine out pack

lol

[dreamy ferry]

also also with the sims 5 being cancelled i think it’s just ps5 version

being cancelled

not the entire game, they seem to still be hiring for it

[bold burrow]

yes bc they are facing a lawsuit

and the gurus left

[dreamy ferry]

HUHHH?

[edgy oracle]

and i also remember for sims 4 it took them 4-5 years to port it to console

[dreamy ferry]

a lawsuit??? 😭

[bold burrow]

for tracking data

[dreamy ferry]

why do i miss all this drama

SORRT?

[bold burrow]

on sims freeplay

[dreamy ferry]

oh phrw

i didn’t know they were tracking data that’s so fucking weird

[bold burrow]

the ceo of ea is also being investigated

[dreamy ferry]

honestly doesn’t suprise me it’s EA

[bold burrow]

right

man

[dreamy ferry]

they always been kinda funky sounding

[dreamy ferry]

5 years to port it and they still haven’t fixed their game now

we’re never gonna get it fully fixed

[bold burrow]

what suprises me is the gurus really left ea

like many of them

[edgy oracle]

if they cant fix it we got modders aha they do better job

[bold burrow]

https://youtu.be/Vj3yNmYPuwk?si=0bnhzPdd_Vnk8UKJ

[dreamy ferry]

i’m watching that video rn 😂

[bold burrow]

its a messss

pls watch it

i love simyin

[dreamy ferry]

exacrlt modders do a better job than the company

simyin is amazing i hope she tries inzoi

id love to see her take on it

yeah she’s talking about the gurus stepping down now which is surprising

grant and frost

very long time gurus

maybe people are finally sortve just loosing hope in the sims 4.. it would make sense because the last few packs have just been literally terrible.

the sims 4 has really ruined eas and maxis’s rep i think.

[edgy oracle]

what if though maxis was a indie dev and didnt have ea as their publisher?

[dreamy ferry]

honestly they would probably be better off. maybe the packs are so bad because they’re under so much pressure all the time.

indie devs make such good games and sure it takes longer but there’s so much more love that goes into the game i feel

there’s very little top companies that care about their game alot i fear.

[half trench]

Thanks! You too. So many bands seems to come and go it's crazy. Yep been a Metalhead since 2006. Ffs I'm probably one of the oldest people here in the server. 😅 Hopefully I get some free time at some point. I don't want to clog up the chat though so I'll keep it short or I'd respond to your entire statement(s). 😁

[bold burrow]

she talked about it

she said shes scared bc its to good

im not sure if she deleted the video or not

https://youtu.be/MefOPe_484A?si=KzVCvjRPicpsvG4B

oh nvm lol

[half trench]

The issue with gaming now. Too many stupid a** execs who control everything and care more about profits and less about quality. People talk about how they don't want Government regulation in gaming. But if it means better consumer protection laws I'm all for it.

[edgy oracle]

yea and how they are overpriced i remember in the 2000s early 10 days new games use to cost £20 - £30 but now its triple the price

[bold burrow]

60 dollars

for one game

just for it to have in game purchases/dlcs

[edgy oracle]

and dont forget those editions that adds up even more

[bold burrow]

reminds me of nintendo lol im sorry

[half trench]

Yep. And some people think that games should cost more and think $70 is justified despite the fact the quality hasn't gone up. And alot of devs aren't taking advantage of certain specs and features of hardware. On top of that these companies complaining they aren't making enough despite increasing record profits from MTs and overpriced standard, special and collectors editions. Like sure let me fork over 200+ dollars on some stickers, pins, postcards and a cheap plastic statue with crappy detail.

All this talk of corporate greed has me starving.

[dreamy ferry]

OHHH YES i did watch this video and tbh i had a similar reaction when i was inzoi.. like the worry about it just being too good to be true

but watching people play the game PHYSICALLY has made me realise it is just that good.

there’s been a lot of dissapointments it’s just hard to believe something is this good

[dreamy ferry]

Yeah i could totally be okay with price increases if the game matches the price but it just doesn’t
Like you say it is just corp greed

The sims do a lot of it i fear. Slow quality packs being sold off for like 30£.. Like the way they seperate cats dogs in one pack and horses..

Which is why i’m so thankful inzoi is adding stuff like weather in the base game as it should be.

And holy shit it’s open world, my heart fluttered when i realised inzoi was open world.

[half trench]

I'm shit at monetary conversions. Lol I'll have to look up what 30 Euros is compared to U.S dollars. But I'm assuming it's expensive.

[bold burrow]

rightt the cars really did it for me

[bold burrow]

right!!!!

[half trench]

Ok. Yeah it's 32.78 in US. For a pack?! That's bull.

[bold burrow]

righttt

[dreamy ferry]

i remember when i used to watch the cars in the sims 2 drive off the drive physically and they’d open the drawers and get out utensils when they cook it was so fun to watch

I liked following cars in the sims 3 too

[bold burrow]

i think i wanna become a person who mods for this game

[bold burrow]

right the little things

[dreamy ferry]

Roughly 30 for each sims 4 big pack i think i can’t check rn but it’s horrific

[bold burrow]

it just matters

[dreamy ferry]

Exacrlt the little details add so much realism

like when you’d get too close to the sims in the sims 2 and stare at them and they would look at you

😂😂

[half trench]

If a game's forcing paying for weather and seasons that's ridiculous.

[bold burrow]

meanwhile ppl pay a thousand dollars for sims 4 and we cant even put a plate directly on the table

[dreamy ferry]

Or when you’d make them do something they don’t like they would complain and refuse it was so funny

[bold burrow]

i never noticed thissss

[half trench]

That's incredibly asinine.

[bold burrow]

rightt

[dreamy ferry]

I HATE the routing in the sims 4 it’s so bad

[dreamy ferry]

it’s such a cool small detail :3

[bold burrow]

everything teleports..

[dreamy ferry]

right? most of the packs are broken too.

full price for a broken game

broken pack

[dreamy ferry]

RIGHT???

[bold burrow]

one of my favs is when theyre hungry and they look at u and wave

[bold burrow]

honestly im glad they didnt add cars to the game it wouldve been a glitch mess

[half trench]

Knowing EA they don't fix it? Sounds ripe for a juicy payout in court.

[bold burrow]

they ditched my wedding stories

so badly

luckily custom nuptials by apeedingo came to save us

also adding wedding planner to the game smh..

[half trench]

Well glad I avoided buying Sims 4. Thought about it years ago and never pulled the trigger. I dodged a bullet instead of biting it.

[bold burrow]

u def dodged a bullettt

[crude mason]

someone knows if it will be possible to play this year? owo

[dreamy ferry]

There’s an announcement planned at gamescom in august and most likely it will either release then or they will announce a release date.

Gamescom is occurring between 21-25 august i believe.

But the release date is 2024 if i’m not mistaken. It could be anywhere from now until late late in the year.

[crude mason]

thank youuuu ❤️

[cerulean dagger]

im shocked people still buy Sims

[half trench]

I haven't bought one since 3. But then again that was my first one. Haven't played a sim in general since then.

[wet trellis]

Honestly

Tbh cracking the sims >>

It’s not even multiplayer so

[covert niche]

I personally highly doubt its early access will be announced at gamescom. I think the most we will get is the early access date for oct-dec

[dreamy ferry]

[worthy oracle]

Hi, can i ask for life sims recommendations to play untill inzoi release? Or it's forbidden?

[cedar locust]

Hii Mada ❤️ welcome to the server 🙂

No not at all! 🙂 we are all suuuuper impatient and like waiting for the game (I myself have been playing Shining Nikki and dress up games cause I am a fashion girlie)

I guess it depends on what sort of game that you like 🙂

[opal hazel]

Not quite a life sim but life makeover has some life sim aspects c:

You get to create your character, female only unfortunately. Collect clothing, dress up. Buy a house/property. Build on said property. Get pets. You have needs as well you can choose to ignore of fulfill at the house. There's also an open world coming eventually c:
And character customization is amazing. Unfortunately like no POC hairstyles though c':

[tacit kite]

I thought for a second infinity Nikki was out before seeing shining 😝

[opal hazel]

In world. Only two needs for the humans but the pets have more available on mobile and PC

[ionic jewel]

Smh Lovestruck!🤦🏾‍♂️…some of these same people would be outraged if you mention adding jiggle physics or more masculine sims yet they have “Paragon partners” in there. There’s a new motel to hookup and “mess around” for teens.

The Hypocrisy never seize to amaze! I’m glad Asian game development companies like Kraft aren’t pandering to all this nonsense. Could do without all the dang pronouns listed everywhere as if we didn’t go to school and can’t figure it out for ourselves lol.

Hopefully Inzoi just leaves it at “Body type” when it comes to that stuff 🤦🏾‍♂️…it’s exhausting!

[dreamy ferry]

It’s something honestly pretty much no one ever asked for it to be added into the sims offically.. people already have wicked whims if they want that content. It’s not as if we’re rioting against inzoi adding sexualised content and then hyping up sims 4s content..

However there’s slight differences between inzoi adding full nudity, realistic sex, and jiggle physics in the base game and the sims making a suggestively sexualised pack. They haven’t allowed full nudity, it’s not a detailed sex pack, it’s not alike to wicked whims. Does it make me any more comfy? No. But it’s also NOT in the base game.

To clear up confusion you seem to have though the motel is for young adults+ i’m sure and is to be used like with partners or assumingly people with a high enough romance bar. That’s not me condoning it! I still find it very weird to be in the game.

[raw parrot]

they are kinds late to the party two words whicked whims

[dreamy ferry]

Yeahhhhh LOL. Honestly i don’t find the new sims 4 pack theme HORRIFIC because it’s tamer than wicked whims.. however it does make me feel a little weird knowing how many kids play the sims 4. Hopefully parents just have some sense and they don’t buy into the pack.

Honestly it’s not even that good, it’s very lacking but as is everything with the sims.

I just personally have the opinion sexual content in games should be left out of the base game. Like realistic intercourse and jiggling and everything. There are modders who can add that on but just leave the game for us people who don’t want to experience game play like that..

Thinking of asexuals too or anyone who finds sex in games uncomfortable.

[ionic jewel]

Not interested in “sexualization of the game” ⬆️ ⬆️ clearly. “….It’s not bad because some mod that you can ADD to the sims is worse..”? Is that sound logic? You vote with your dollars….not in these discussions online.

Hope no one buys LoveStruck 🤷🏾‍♂️😂….but ppl will probably buy it just because I said this. ha

[dreamy ferry]

I’m not interested in the sexualisation of the game at all along with other people aswell i’m sure.
And yes, if you read it correctly, i stated that the sims pack ISNT AS BAD as wicked whims because it’s a fact. Wicked whims contains full nudity, sex, sex toys, poles, and more. The sims love struck contains sexualised content that’s more “tame”. But does it make it right? Not really in my opinion it’s weird. Thankfully it’s an optional game pack that i can choose to not buy. Is it as bad as wicked whims? No but then that’s also optional thankfully. Or the “intercourse” suggested for INZOI? No.

I don’t think people will buy it more so because of what you’ve said but i guess if you’re delusional enough to think that it explains a lot. People will buy it and people will not. People will still enjoy wicked whims and that’s fine, not for me though. I just don’t want to see inzoi become sexualised in the offical base game with realistic intercourse! You will always have modders to comply and make your gooner fantasies come true!

Remember! We’re all allowed our opinions! And i think mine is quite valid!

Have a good day though

[ionic jewel]

I’m delusional to think ppl do things out of spite? Well, that’s good we’re on the same page then 😌. It was a question. I just didn’t see how determining the quality of a game pack developed by EA, in a game rated for teens has any bearings when compared to a game made by random joe shmos on the street. Couldn’t we hold them to a higher standard? You are right, people are entitled to their own opinion.

[ionic jewel]

You have a good day as well! 😊

[real inlet]

Tbf Lovestruck is nothing new.
It's basically the Sims 2: Nightlife + The Sims: Hot date

You get 20 years old content, with some new make-up

[ionic jewel]

How about the teen “Mess around”, motel just for “fun” and the gimp suits? Lol

[cedar locust]

Wonderful Whims (the non-NSFW version of the Wicked Whims mod) is wayyyy better than anything I saw in Lovestruck, it had a full attraction system (for both physical attraction and personality attractions), personality archetypes, impressions,menstrual cycles, fertility system, etc.

[ionic jewel]

Not going to lie it is interesting. The outfits were weird

[dreamy ferry]

YESSSSS now wonderful whims is something i can completely get behind. Making life as a woman in the game realistic.

It sounds like a really good mod

[half trench]

Yeah they're fun. Plus it's a great way to keep combat skills honed. I really enjoy playing a character and playing out historic battles. Even done some Civil War stuff a couple of times.

[cerulean dagger]

@half trench corporate jobs are so weird

i feel shady and fake working it after being blue collar since 18

[half trench]

Yeah it's definitely a transition. But at the same time as much as I dislike it. If it weren't for my wife I'd be working some crappy store job or homeless. Because I don't have any conventional skills. Never went to college. I hate school. And barely made it through Highschool because I lost the motivation to learn and wanted my school years to end.

I mean I suppose I could've gotten work as security, a bouncer, or bodyguard with my hand to hand combat and weapon skills. Plus I do music on the side.

[crystal orbit]

[opal hazel]

Life makeover!

[half trench]

Speaking of music. If I wanted to share music say from both my Country band and Viking Metal band would I be able to share it to general media? Or would that go against the rule of self promotion?

I'd check but the rules page dissipated for me.

Like Fast & Furious(That Picture Reminds me of This Movie Franchise)

Man if it’s just kind of a rabbit hole with cutscene mini game kind of thing would be legit. I sunk half the amount of time in Gwent in The Witcher as I did on the main quest lol….it was that good of a mini game.

Kjun mentioned being able to work on your vehicles etc…so figured why now do this to compliment those features. 🤷🏾‍♂️

What I liked about Fate of Furious is Cars goes ALL MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE against all FM's Rogue SCPD(SimCity Police Department) Hunter

[ionic jewel]

Thanks for the upvote! 🙏🏾

I do wonder how they could incorporate Cops into the Street race scenario in a life sim world.

I’m excited. I think the upgrade parts and unlocking gear based on reputation would be pretty fun on it’s own. To see what the result of your tweaking does. Even if it’s simulated races based on stats. 🤔

[ionic jewel]

I’m glad broski! That second song is the one that got me! I must have listened to it about 15 times ha.

Can imagine a street race starting with that music in Inzoi!?

That just gave me a great idea for a Fast and The Furious parody called Fat and the Hurious (Like Hangry but Hungry and Furious). Where the contestants ride in their souped up electric wheelchairs with the goal to get to the finish line a.k.a the buffet. And the winner gets a lifetime of free All You Can Eat. But not until our hero Jimmy Irontestines Reed (former eating contest champion) who's morbidly obese gets a stolen food delivery from the evil food delivery man. Who lives in his moms basement and drives her little EV bug.

I've now learned that there's two sides in the life simulation community.
One side like their game realistic, where the other likes their game cartoonish.
For me, it's basically this:

I don't care about the graphics.
Realistic? Cartoonish? Doesn't bother me none.
As long as the game is fun to play, it's fine by me.

[ionic jewel]

Not a bad take, you can’t lose ha. For the people that have been playing life sims since primary school, some have been hoping for something more.

Inzoi seems like some limitless potential kinda thing sense there’s not that many compelling games in the genre.

@sleek vapor

Hey!

This is what ChatGPT 4o thinks on the matter of Inzoi’s development budget etc… lol

While there's no official statement on the exact development cost of "inZOI," a life simulation game by Krafton, we can infer a substantial budget based on the game's ambitious scope and features. Considering that Krafton's previous high-profile games, like PUBG, had development costs ranging from $10 to $15 million, it's reasonable to assume that "inZOI" might have a similar or higher budget due to its extensive features and the high expectations surrounding it.

The game includes a wide array of features such as drivable cars, customizable group activities, a reputation system, city editing tools, and extensive mod support, all indicating significant investment in both technology and creative content. Additionally, the emphasis on user feedback and active development suggests ongoing costs to refine and expand the game before and after its release.

Given these factors, the development cost for "inZOI" could be estimated in the range of $15 to $25 million, considering the advancements and competitive features they aim to include.

guess I'll have to wait, don't exactly have the need to grab a ps5 rn (though it is a amazing console) :p

[spice kindle]

you could wait for ps6

wont be too long

[proud raptor]

only really grab handhelds now and days. though I do love watching consoles come out.

though I will always love em. which console is your favorite?

[spice kindle]

ps because i own one but only 4... i wanted to get 5 but on that day it was always already gone xD

and now i kinda lose interested because like PSN+

i dont like

[proud raptor]

Yeah, PSN+ was a pain, lets hope Sony does some things correctly for PS6

[spice kindle]

PSN+ will be on ps6 too

[proud raptor]

oof, life is life sometimes

[spice kindle]

^^

[proud raptor]

So Mikado, whats your favorite game?

[empty geyser]

Thank you for sharing our game! Thank you @dreamy oracle for sharing that they shared our game, I happen to be here too. Hahaha.

[dreamy oracle]

You're Welcome Hera

Late Reply because I played Other Games(CMS21 & Spy Anya) & Watching Genshin Theft Auto's Gameplay
Hopefully INZOI will add DLSS & RTX like this Neverness

[spice kindle]

i dont have

[dreamy oracle]

Mikado, Hera The NTE Moderator Noticed Me 🤯

and She Liked that We spread Awareness to Never Play that Stupid Stale S***(4) Game anymore

[spice kindle]

like strategy i love to play total war or hard games like dark soul etc xD

from where did she notice you? in YT? xD

[dreamy oracle]

Uhh.. She Knows I Pre-Registered NTE & joined their Discord for Being Hyped for This Genshin Theft Auto xD

because of Porsche Classic (964) 911's Appearance in NTE(Didn't Get Seized for Ultimatums)

[hybrid crag]

Why do all games with cutesy art style have to Gacha, I really like how this game looks, and some of the mechanics shown, but it will definitely be free to play 😢😢😢😢😢😢😓😓😓😓 I actually want to play this game 😭😭😭

[hybrid crag]

One thing to be said while driving the car the character hit a couple of things the car didn't experience any damage. I feel like that's a bad system and a bit unrealistic. I would love the cars in inZOI when damaged to get repaired.

[dreamy oracle]

Yeah and What I liked is that Got Tuning Menu in NTE That I can Modify Cars(In Tuning Shop)
EDIT: Maybe Implement Faux-Softbody Damage like GTA 4 since you Mentioned About NTE No Damage(Hopefully INZOI will add this Also)

[steady forge]

The car driving part makes me wonder if there will be future life sim game based in anime style. So far none decent looking ones yet. I dislike the western cartoony style in the sims but I prefer japanese anime style.

[dreamy oracle]

Have you heard of Sakura School Simulator? Also An Anime Characters' LifeSim Games but Like BeamNG Gmod where this game has No Story/Career or Anything like this, Only TechDemo & Filming Set

[steady forge]

I just looked it up, but I was looking for an all around life sim not just school simulator.

The anime style is more 3d. I prefer 3d with 2d shading

[dreamy oracle]

Yeah haha 😅 I watched all the Sakura Simulator's YT Video and Indeed Treating This Game like BeamNG Gmod Machinimia(hope Garusoft will Rename it into Sakura Town Life Simulator so that it'll be All-Around Title, Once Garu Implement all the Features & Added Career/Story Mode) 😂🤞

[steady forge]

oh wow she's also perfect new world's moderater in that server. Maybe she's multi moderator

[dreamy oracle]

Umm yeah she is A Mod for New World, but Not Mod in this INZOI

[steady forge]

what? new world, not just perfect new world too?

so that's 3 games moderator? lol

[dreamy oracle]

Umm JFC it's Perfect New World.. She's Member in here lol xD 😅
EDIT: Sorry about Name confusion

[steady forge]

I think she may be in multiple games server, because I have 3 mutual game servers with her lol

[ionic jewel]

You read my mind lol! I saw this and was like daaaaaamn GTA/Anime haha

[ionic jewel]

DLSS 3.5 and Ray Reconstruction are game-changers!

[ionic jewel]

What do you mean by Your game? LOL. Have you all been keeping an eye on it?

[ionic jewel]

I hate that too! I agree, it probably will be 😔

[empty geyser]

Oh yes, I'm with the PWG company

thank you all for your interest

🫶

[ionic jewel]

The blended style looks amazing! I really love RPG mechanics in games. It would be great if they could integrate RPG mechanics into games like Call of Duty, where you go home after a deployment, spend time with your family, own property, and spend money at a bar or something. I just don't get the idea of shooting here to unlock weapons to shoot in different places... 😂😂

[ionic jewel]

Nice! When is the release date? I didn't catch that. Also, do you know if it will be a free-to-play gacha game? @hybrid crag 😂

[empty geyser]

I don't think it's really appropiate to talk about all this in another Discord server.

😂

We don't have any information other than what's been revealed.

[ionic jewel]

Well, this is off-topic, but it's all good. I'll do some research.

[hybrid crag]

What's the Discord name?

[empty geyser]

you can find it on the website

[dreamy oracle]

Me too, I will Drive a Panamera in Genshin Theft Auto Neverness Everless

Since this Game Promoting Porsche 911 with BodyKits(and Genshin Amber's Livery)

[empty geyser]

We have not released any specifics or official information about monetization. We will reveal more in September during TGS!

[dreamy oracle]

Hmm Hera, I Plan to Watch GamesCom's Livestream ft. INZOI & Ferrari ENZO in August First(for Release date Reveal)
and then in September I'll Watch Tokyo Game Show (For Neverness ft. Bodykitted Porsches, I'll Play that Game to Pass Time until INZOI Actually launches if INZOI Got Story Maker & NPC Editor/Creators 🤞 After Thinking & Analyzing the 13 Minutes Video & Played CMS21 to Restore Porsche 964 America RS for So Long)
Edited for Clarity

[hybrid crag]

I'm going to be honest, and please don't take this negatively 🙏🏻, when I read your messages I have no idea what you are saying.

[dreamy oracle]

Kazama I dont take Negatively, Actually I was Inspired by That Neverness Everness Game's 13 Minutes Preview that I Start Playing CMS21 to Hunt for Porsche 911 (964) to be Rebuilt & Painted Red(Like from That Video where Player Modifying Porsche Moment) for my Pledged Symbol to Never fall For EA's S*** Gaslighting again..(Beeping Ultimatums, Making all Cars Unobtainable from that Rogue island with 0.0000% Chance of Owning a Car)

[covert niche]

[edgy oracle]

and how to pronounce it it is Middles-bruh

[cedar locust]

I had a friend who live in Birmingham who grew up in Middlesborough so she picked up bith accents

lol

My ears do well with accents, I don't have an issue with understanding them at all even if they are heavy

[edgy oracle]

birmingham aka called the black country accents there called brummies

[half trench]

I think the best U.K accent I can do is what they call cockney and then my Scottish accent sounds like Fat Bastard from Austin Powers.

[cedar locust]

Ohh yess Brummies she called herself that

[edgy oracle]

yea in uk you can go 10 miles down the road to hear a completely different accent is it like taht in your country?

[cedar locust]

In Hawaii we have a different dialect of English called Pidgin that we grow up speaking 🙂

it stay plenty hot over dere up mauka no?

[covert niche]

America is a lot larger so we have to travel quite a ways longer to see very different accents. But the US has a lot more regional accents than many realize!

I know a girl from Wolverhampton who's a Paranormal Investigator on YouTube. We talk on her lives from time to time.

Wife and I went to Japan and China last year. We're an interesting couple because she's from Norway and well you know me. We got a lot of compliments on our accents. And she speaks about 12 languages. Two being Chinese and Japanese fluently. She's studying more. But I only speak English and Old Norse. She's stupid intelligent. Way more than me. But she was my translator for everything. If it wouldn't have been for her conversations would've been awkward. With Google Translate.

[edgy oracle]

wow 12 languages thats so impressive

and if i were to use a translator i would use DeepL since its more accurate than google

[half trench]

Yeah she had an I.Q test in Highschool and it was off the charts. Like 230 or something like that.

[half trench]

Hmm I'll have to look into it.

[edgy oracle]

she could be your tutor if you want to learn a new language

[covert niche]

I second deepl. It’s extremely accurate

[half trench]

She's the one that taught me Old Norse.

[covert niche]

Sometimes it may not always sound super natural but it has always been accurate for me, if not a little stiff in tone sometimes

[edgy oracle]

yup google translate isnt always right most of the time

How would people attending gamescom change that?

[dreamy oracle]

to Watch Important Parts(INZOI, Open world GTA Meets Sims)

I also Planned to Watch Only Important Part(or They'll Clip the Livestream & then Re-Upload with Important Title) 😁

[ionic jewel]

I think it was a bad move for the gaming industry to ditch E3 and postpone so many gaming conventions. It really made them lose touch with their main fans.

[dreamy oracle]

Umm Yeah... My Father Did Mention E3 Stuff haha 😆 😅

[ionic jewel]

E3 was legit and mostly game development companies were on the same page back then.

[dreamy oracle]

Now It's Gamescom because E3 Totally Disbanded

https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/video-games/2023/12/12/e3-permanently-canceled/
Washington was Right All Along about E3 Disbanding(and Other Gaming News Site talking about No more E3, Google E3 Disbanded for more information)

[ionic jewel]

Gamescom has been around since 2009, which is pretty impressive, huh? I've always been into E3, but it looks like Gamescom is really making a name for itself as the go-to event for gaming fans.

[ionic jewel]

Hey, can you believe if we got to see a GTA 6 trailer and Inzoi gameplay in the same month? That would be absolutely crazy, right? 😄

[dreamy oracle]

Yeah That'll be Crazy that INZOI is GTA Meeting The Sims like how DOOM ETERNAL Meets AnimalCrossing 😆(on Same Launch Day)

Reference about how Crazy they are

[ionic jewel]

It's kinda weird how the community engagement can be so random. Like, this street racing mini-game idea only got 19 votes in 3 days, but a high school suggestion got 22 votes in just a few hours. If you search for "school" in the wishlist, you'll see tons of similar requests. But, in the end, it's up to the developers to decide.

[dreamy oracle]

That's Because of YanSim Picture & Sakura Simulator's References 😂

[ionic jewel]

Interesting, I've never heard of
Yansim before. I suppose they have a way of attracting people to their posts. 🤷🏾‍♂️😂

[hybrid crag]

Hello

[ionic jewel]

@real inlet Hey so do you think this feature is viable at this stage of development for them given what you know they've already incorporated in the game?

https://discord.com/channels/1162040845181124618/1264380045548585072

@real inlet Baring manually racing; crashes etc. Let me know if you need clarification..

[real inlet]

At this stage? Depends. IIRC they are probably around the last third of development? Maybe?

Putting it in before release might end up making it a feature creep project. So it would make more sense to have it post-release.

But it depends on the scope.
If it's a full-on racing feature: no. Definitely needs a post-release.
If it's just a mini-game similarly to how Horizon Forbidden West did, ehh... Maybe? It's way simpler, didn't need much adjustments to game mode, player controller, control settings, etc. But then they would need to allow to have the vehicles have adjustable stats, might need a few dozen hours of work (including testing, QA, etc.).
More like a cutscene, without much control? Should be possible, but it would be rather bare bones.

[ionic jewel]

It would be more of a cutscene with background stat calculations for the outcome of the “simulated” race…..remember how MK11 had that Ai feature where your version of a character would face off against other opponents?…Your toon would get better overtime and you can just watch a simulated match…kinda like that.

Inzois’s own little Race Car “Pon system”…. Lol

If they put it in at least before early access. It'll be perfect extensive testing and real feedback. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[real inlet]

The getting better part is slightly harder. But if they use stats, and you could do some basic "training", I could see it as a potential feature that might be able to be, like just after release? Like a day one patch? Because at some point in development, you don't merge the main branch any more, but instead you keep everything on the dev branch and put it for the next possible patch.

It also depends on how long they expect to be in early access. If it's only a few months, I'd say it will be probably something like a day one patch, if it's more than that, like 9months or higher, it can definitely be something that is added before.

The hardest parts here would be:

• Cutscenes (multiple ones to remove monotony, and for different locations)
• Training
• Stats
• Functionality of the system
• UI

[ionic jewel]

Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting to think about the process objectively. Day One patch doesn't sound bad.

[ionic jewel]

They've been on strike for a while…what has changed?

[ionic jewel]

I really hope things play out differently with GTA6. To me, voice actors' roles are like the industrial revolution. I think society's progress shouldn't be held back by people who resist change. I get that my viewpoint might seem a bit harsh. But if you look at historical examples like the shift from street lamp lighters, milk delivery folks, and carriage drivers, or the impact of Uber on traditional cab drivers, it's clear that adaptation is unavoidable. The animation field is dealing with similar challenges.

@tacit kite

https://youtu.be/_-MXVbwJ24w?si=ra5cyN3UY0H9V-HV

Looks a lot like paralives art style…no?

[tacit kite]

Nah totally different

Paralives is more cartoon comic drawn style kinda

[opal hazel]

This looks super cute but on god they need to improve the animations

[ionic jewel]

It does look good though; not going to lie. I like paralives art style

[opal hazel]

Little sim world is looking cute too

[ionic jewel]

https://youtu.be/xIIy4CuGDyU?si=jQlXA9z57Grk6Shm

[ionic jewel]

Never heard of it 🤔

[tacit kite]

Trade tales seem nice too , the characters have a different style tho , kinda chibi 3D https://youtu.be/3vCzF_S25wc?si=B7VJRzYBEchRAtBI

[opal hazel]

It's very heavy on the needs aspect and skill building aspect of a life sim

[ionic jewel]

It does look different…maybe its the color palette or something idk

[tacit kite]

Paralives is more cartoon , litchi is more anime style a bit

[opal hazel]

This is cute but I dunno about the whole normal looking anime heads on chibi bodies thing

I'm an artstyle snob fr

[ionic jewel]

What do y'all think of paralives? I personally think Inzoi got it beat in scope… but it's pretty close huh? 🤔

[tacit kite]

The characters are special but the activities surprised me , I thought it would be a simple farming game but it is more a business game as you can do different types of business and do various other thing

[opal hazel]

Paralives is cute but I've never liked the artstyle on it ngl

I'll likely still play it but I dunno

I definitely prefer inzoi

And it's not a realism thing, I love cartoony games too I'm just mad picky

[ionic jewel]

I love farming games tbh…it’s weird! 🧑‍🌾

I checked it out; it’s like Dinkum meets Ark lol.

[junior bear]

It's cute

[midnight pollen]

Anyone ever played Haven on switch?

It’s so fun and character/story/relationship driven but I can’t progress further because of a glitch😭

[junior bear]

omg no, is it fun at least

[midnight pollen]

Yeah it’s fun and there’s scenes that are voice acted and captioned

And then you play someone you can wander around with in a 3d world

Which is giving simulationnnn

[opal hazel]

I was interested in this and played the demo but I wanna decorate the inside of the house sob

[ionic jewel]

@warm fossil I wonder how many people actually bought Lovestruck. 🤔🤦🏾‍♂️

[warm fossil]

I think alot of people at this point they give up making content you can get dating app as a mod

[ionic jewel]

Smh, “just shut up, consume product and wait for next product” mentality lol.

[tight gyro]

This is her best song imo

[hybrid crag]

It's sad, JYPE needs to give them better songs because they are all good performers

[ionic jewel]

On a more serious note 😳 Geriatric Abuse in the whitehouse….

Carry On lol

[ionic jewel]

@willow igloo

You've been REALLY busy on your Ai post! Geeez

Just noticed you weren't a guy btw 🤦🏾‍♂️😂 ma B.

Would’ve never imagined based on all the RDR2 stuff ha

[willow igloo]

When I said I was obsessed with watching RDR2's AI, I really was. I needed to create a forum about it, which is why I wrote so much lol 😂

[ionic jewel]

Yea, I Don’t blame you lol. RdR2, GTA4 liberty city stories and sleeping dogs are severely underaged games.

[willow igloo]

The NPCs in RDR2 are so unpredictable that in every playthrough you’re surprised by how alive they seem.

@ionic jewel And, answering your question, I hadn't noticed that their behavior changes when they're in a group, but it's truly fascinating because it reflects reality.

[dreamy oracle]

TBH there is Discord Quest for S*** Game but I resisted This Stupid Quest because How Stale, Orwellian, Gaslighting, Ultimatum without Good Reason & Casino Apex They Are

[ionic jewel]

Yep! Kinda makes me want to play... Sucks that they removed the ability to speak to NPCs for RDR2 online. I'd be playing nonstop, lol.

[ionic jewel]

What game are we talking about bro?

[dreamy oracle]

S*** 4 LoveStruck Quest

I dont wanna Unlock Freezer Bunny Lovebug

I'm Done With it & Quitted Already

[ionic jewel]

Aaaah! I gotcha, yea screw that expansion. I'll just use the real thing (the mod) 😂👌🏾

[dreamy oracle]

Me Neither *Did you Mean INZOI(aka. The Real Sims 4 "How it Should've Been, Make Will Wright Proud")

[ionic jewel]

Well, can't play Inzoi yet sooooo The sims 4 Mods will have to do! Oh and some RDR2 now of course lol

[dreamy oracle]

Well... Yeah, I only Played S*** for Ripping & Extracting My OCs for Car Mechanic 21's QoL BonusPart(Sorry Private Item, No DL nor on Workshop for Subscribing)

@ebon token

I will write to you here since I belive giving you an answer is going bit off topic for what I had intended for my post. My answer is ⤵️

Is perfectly okay if you want to play games and earn money, I don't think is a bad idea. However when it comes to inZOI I believe adding a system such as the one you mentioned will open the doors for all kinds of monetization in the game, for example gacha, and I really don't want to see inZOI become a gacha game. On top of everything the game will have a direct access to you credit/debit cards which I belive a lot of people will be against. Adding a system like the one you mentioned will make inZOI more of serious and must play type of game instead of the game just being fun.

[ebon token]

I agree with you yes but nowadays how game is going to be metaverse is going to be a little serious not much more yes metaverse nowadays if you see it very big

[ionic jewel]

I don't think so, Mark Zuckerberg wasted his money...

Cryptocurrency is on the decline...

Furthermore, people are not very comfortable with that level of risk in real-life investments, so trying it in a game is not appealing.

The only way it could work is if the game rewarded you with premium currency for a large amount of in-game currency.

However, no one wants those microtransactions, so the cost-benefit analysis doesn't check out.

Sorry 💔

[ionic jewel]

Probably no news to anyone but The new Sims lovestruck “update” broke Wickedwhims 🤣🤷🏾‍♂️

[ionic jewel]

Correction; game in general is crashing.

[ionic jewel]

If any of you have a z690-E MB

There is a Bios update as of 7/17/2024

ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI BIOS 3701

Update ASAP

If you don’t want no problems lol.

Don't forget to turn off “BitLocker”

[sleek vapor]

I want a new life sim

[ionic jewel]

It will happen lol…all in good time lol

Just a few more months ma boy!

[ionic jewel]

@half trench

Yeah, I blame Windows 11. No doubt something doesn't match up in the registry now due to the BIOS update. I don't know... we shall see. An expensive build to mess up, too... Good thing motherboards are relatively cheap.

[half trench]

Hopefully you can get it fixed man.

[dreamy oracle]

@ionic jewel Coming from #general-media, Yet PPL Still Playing that Stupid Stale Orwellian Gaslighting Apex S*** 4 Games, Because No Other Choice other than This Aformentioned...

and Still Having Ultimatums that'll Destroy CarMaker's Countries Relations & Accussed of Smuggling when Nobody Doing it in First Place

[dreamy oracle]

I'm Betting S*** Renee is Going to be Full EAFC games instead of Solid Games and Still Cannot Own Car again(0.0000000% Chance of Owning one, unless Play Stupid Apex)
This Renee will Collapse like what SC5 Did(History Repeat itself)

@lone geyser Ugh... Yeah

[lone geyser]

Que que

[dreamy oracle]

Dont buy EA Originals Either

[old topaz]

i wontt

loll

[dreamy oracle]

EA Originals is Actually A Front of Gambling Junks!! FFS They Don't Cooperate with Us & Give us what we Want ⚠️

Joshie, You should Look up Ultimatum in Discord Search to See my Embarrassing Rants about EA Refusal to Give us Cars

[old topaz]

ook loll

[ionic jewel]

Hope it was nothing serious broski!

[dreamy oracle]

@thin yacht Hi When did you Last time Played S***

I last Played Sometimes in 2024 just to Extract my OCs

[thin yacht]

prob a few months ago or so ig

[dreamy oracle]

Yeah I only Ripped my Characters for My CMS21 Private QoL BonusParts on People

[ionic jewel]

Lmao, sorry. I found a way to tie it back to Inzoi where we originally started. It's hard not to go off-topic!

[dreamy oracle]

VinZ did you Buy Any EA Originals?

[thin yacht]

lol

[dreamy oracle]

Lets Rant about Legacy of How Sims from Funny Absurd LifeSim Games into Stupid Stale Orwellian Corporate Games

[ionic jewel]

I still think it's a classic, bro. Don't you agree that it actually put life simulation games on the map as a viable genre?

We wouldn't even be having this conversation if it weren't for The Sims, right?

So how does that not make it the original even though it's not as good now?

It's like saying GTA 3 isn't a classic, even though it would be terrible to play now! 😂

[dreamy oracle]

Yeah Hope INZOI is the Freedom Fighter's Last Hope that'll Liberate us from Depression(and Curse of Gaslighting, Ultimatums' Dead End & Apex EAFC Gambling) & It's Viable once Liberated

We Wouldn't if It weren't for Ranting about How Stupid & Stale S*** is...

The Classics is 2(Attention to Details & Humors) and 3(Openworld & Style Creation Tools)

Yeah Some PPL Plays GTA SA 😂

[ionic jewel]

Call it what you will. I bet you were playing it sometime this year. 😂

You can hate what someone or something stands for and still love them. That's just one of the many nuances of life, lol.

[dreamy oracle]

and I'll Sink 1000 Hours Recreating RL Houses & Remaking All my Sims 4 OCs for INZOI(With Spite Sims 4 CAS Port Pack)

[ionic jewel]

Btw! Good job on being a bit more clear in your communication lol.

[ionic jewel]

Haha

[dreamy oracle]

yeah Haha I play Car Mechanic 2021 and Spy Anya Memories, Watching Sakura School Simulator & BeamNG.Crash Video until INZOI Launch Day

to Fill my Voided Hole in My Brain after LBY Cancellation...

[ionic jewel]

When you use to talk I was like…

[ionic jewel]

Sounds like a solid plan buddy, you ever look at that pressure washing simulator? 😳😂

[dreamy oracle]

Yeah but I only Watched Gameplay Vids 😂

and after LBY Gets Cancelled My Emotional Trauma Damage Worsen Further

because Paradox Says Not worth The Effort... and Disbanded Tectonic

[ionic jewel]

Haha, I Dont understand paradox as a publisher. They publish SOOOOO many different types of games.

[dreamy oracle]

and We Hate Genre's Monopoly because They're making it Soo Stale

LBY should've been Skylines Answer to Sims(If they Didn't Cancel, Rod was Leading this Game)

[ionic jewel]

They are responsible for CK3 and Empire of Sin at the same time….

[dreamy oracle]

Welp... Yeah They Redistributed 20 Million USD for CK3 & Sins Empire... instead of That Skylines Murder the Sims

[ionic jewel]

Yeah, could have been, but that development team was doing an abysmal job because that game looked horrid… even right before release. It looked like a game from 2005. Lol

[dreamy oracle]

and Looked like Asset Flip Scam games instead of Something Solid...

Anyways GN Pals, it's Been Fun Ranting EachOther VinZ

Hope Mr Kjun will Liberate us from Depression & Mental Torture, Heal my Brain(from Stupid Emotional Trauma, by Parting Out Cars Over Ultimatums), & Become Freedom Fighters' 🪖 Army for LifeSim Genre
(to Stop the S*** Apex Menace from Spreading before they Get INZOI Next)

[ionic jewel]

Haha later bro

[dreamy oracle]

Talk to Joshie about my Rants VinZ 🫡

@half trench

I fixed it! I'm not sure why not using the renaming tool on the new BIOS update caused an issue, but after running that and then reinstalling the BIOS update, everything seems to be fine. I'm currently running OCCT for the stress test. 😌🙌🏾

[half trench]

All I can say is good the problem is resolved because I have no idea what any of that means. 😂

You'd have to talk to wifey about that stuff because she's a damn tech genius lol.

You might like this one @half trench

Idk if u trust ks lol but it's rlly interesting

[half trench]

Honestly no. Most KS turn out to be scams. It may be cool. But I'd rather see a different art style. Too animey for me.

[sharp sun]

That's understandable! :) I'm super excited because their is going to be lots of romanceables

[dreamy oracle]

Yeah Honestly, Kickstarter should renamed into Rude name called KickScammer because They Take Money & Run away without any Traces/Progress

[ionic jewel]

Man! She really does carry you doesn't she?! Lol

[half trench]

Yes. KC. Don't ever donate your money to KS. Just watch the progress because they can just stop updating and pull the plug out of nowhere. And then there they go running off with your money.

[sharp sun]

Eh TwT I backed it @half trench

I backed a couple others too, and have recieved them just fine:)

Except for one...

[dreamy oracle]

Hey Kc Good TimeZone PPL, Did you Know that I Dreamt I'm Playing Starfield?
Because FM Gone Mad

[sharp sun]

TwT rip

Hiii

[dreamy oracle]

Hiii because Frank Gone Mad & Mass M*rder Asylum Seekers(and Planned Ahead than Any Allies, like Killing my GF into Join Apex Legends or More Cases like this), it Caused INZOI Universe to be Merged with Starfield Reference because MooCalf Keep Talking about StarCitizens..
EDIT: I Looked up Rebel Galaxy & This Game made me Dream of it

[half trench]

Hey man. I have an extremely devoted, sexy, and beautiful woman. The fact that she makes me look stupid as hell comparably is just a bonus. 😂 Not something that bothers me though. I'm not the smartest individual but I'm smart enough. Our relationship isn't based on aesthetics, height, weight, or even age however. It's about the honesty, fierce loyalty, trust, strength of character, and personality. But no she doesn't carry me. I'm more than capable of doing most things myself. She just happens to be much, much more intelligent than me in general. Especially in things I'm not well versed in. But she has a 230 I.Q. She's smarter than 99.99% of anyone that's ever existed, does exist, or will ever exist.

[abstract knoll]

I am so excited for this game! 🥰

" Welcome, #356844496660725768 is what you'd be looking for, #358745722247446540 is fancy list for the #356844496660725768 but currently outdated as fuck;
is where servers whose emotes are locked behind activity or some other bullshit;

If you're in any other emote list server, feel free to leave it, you won't need more than this one 🙂 " umm what is that

[ionic jewel]

Yeah, I always find that 230 IQ baffling! She's definitely smarter than most people who have ever existed and are alive today. You're a lucky man. Yeah, BIOS dictates the operating system in the sense that it sets operational parameters and settings for the OS to leverage the use of the components in your system.

It has a simple graphic user interface that is stored on a discrete graphics chip on your motherboard. So, even if your GPU doesn't work or any other component aside from the motherboard itself, you should be able to access the BIOS and see what's missing, etc. Just hold "delete" to enter before booting up.
