[zenith dirge]

I do know some history about it, but the esoterics in it is not really something I’m aiming to study

[covert niche]

https://tenor.com/view/nodding-crossed-arms-pikachu-eyes-closed-pokemon-gif-15194868

Well believe me it’s way waaay more in depth than mbti could ever be

That much is a fact

[zenith dirge]

Ahhh, well, I’ll take your word for it😆 as long as you enjoy it, it makes for a fine…

pursuit?

[covert niche]

Hobby, I’d say!

Pursuit works well too

[zenith dirge]

Yea I was going to say that but I was afraid you’d take it the wrong way😅

[covert niche]

No dw im very into astrology but super relaxed about it LMAO

I can accept that not everyone believes what I do! As long as no one is disrespectful I truly don’t care what others believe or if they disagree with me!

Hobby is a perfectly fine way to put it!

[zenith dirge]

Okay, great! Yea, it makes for an enjoyable hobby

[mild lake]

i’d literally pay you to read my birth chart for me no joke

like an in depth reading

[covert niche]

||I would let you pay me to read your birth chart||

https://tenor.com/view/pedro-monkey-puppet-meme-awkward-gif-15268759

Everyone tells me I should charge for readings bc outside of like extremely hyper specific stuff I can read basically an entire birth chart lmfao

[cunning jacinth]

do you just need a birthday/time bc dang

[covert niche]

Yeah. Well and location but general location works like nearest city you were born in

Or even further out than that but it obviously depends on how far out lmfao. But I definitely need an accurate birth time

I can pretty much read anything about a person but the things I’m best at are like love life, family life, and other social stuff as well as like emotions and feelings towards different parts of someone’s life since that’s what I enjoy reading the most lmfao

I’ve read people’s birth charts and legitimately guessed things I had no idea about them based on their birth chart. Like extremely strangely specific stuff LMFAOOOO

[cunning jacinth]

I REALLY want to test your confidence lmao

[covert niche]

Dm me your astrology info and let’s find out 😎

[cunning jacinth]

Frostpunk 2 today wooo

[proven lotus]

Same!

I love astrology

I've been studying it lately instead of tarot cuz I'm blocked in my practice

😦 need a new deck, the rider Waite one is beautiful but not intuitive for me

i think it’ll take longer because i’m in the uk

it has to go from kr to uk

:(

i don’t know if we can track it or anything

i filled the form out but, apparently they should be sent out before oct 31st

[zenith dirge]

I’ve been thinking about whether to get that or not

To christen my new laptop, so to speak

[cunning jacinth]

will give it a thumbs-up or down in 7 hours

[zenith dirge]

I refuse to christen my laptop with Sims 🙄

My wife had started replaying Sims 4 and it just reminds me why I stopped playing over a year ago

That is…actually valid and tech progress

Also I was not expecting that voice to come.out of him

Me neither but…that’s just how it is…

🧓👵

Maybe in 10 years, smartphones won’t even be a thing anymore

[wise fractal]

keyboards certainly wont be lol

[zenith dirge]

Actually…I expect a lot of innovation soon, given the state of the world…

[wise fractal]

yeah

[zenith dirge]

Not to get political, but there was only one reason we got computers…and that reason is repeating itself as we speak…that turning will bring about new tech even those in our generation could only dream of…waves in entertainment and gaming will be a side effect of that development

I dunno about you but I think the age of the gamer dad and player mom is over…maybe it was over before it even began

https://tenor.com/view/lonely-depressed-sad-gif-5990129

[dreamy ferry]

THATS crazy

It feels so.. brain rotted almost. Idk especially with kids. Most parents now stick their kids infront of a tablet or phone and don’t really give them any attention or interaction.

[zenith dirge]

Tbf our parents did the same thing to us with TV and Laptops

And their parents did it to them with comic books

And those parents of those did it to them with…farm work?

[wise fractal]

Literally my mom put me in front of a pc when I was 3

[zenith dirge]

[dreamy ferry]

I grew up with my grand parents so maybe it’s why my experiance is different. My main source of entertainment was reading books and playing house and with toys and such

I played here and there on the computer for sims when i was a little older.

But i was never ever like shoved infront of it to play it to distract myself.

[zenith dirge]

Then yea you’re probably one of the rare millennials that happened to, unless your environment growing up was…semi-rural? In which case it’s to be expected

[cunning jacinth]

I even got this in the 90s dw. dialup and basic flash games
sit here dath! enjoy ski free

[wise fractal]

I was 3 in 96 😛

[zenith dirge]

I remember pinball and solitaire

[cunning jacinth]

we the old heads

now spotify is magical

[dreamy ferry]

We lived in a town so like me and my friends would go out and ride our bikes when we were old enough and sit in the street or on eachothers drives and play with dolls instead of having them cooped up in our room. It’s CRAZY to think that most kids these days aren’t really growing up without tech

[zenith dirge]

Yea back in our day, we had to buy discs, and before that, if you were born really early 90’s, cassette tapes on a Walkman

[dreamy ferry]

Physical media on top

[zenith dirge]

I’m tempted to post a sociological disorder here, but that might get too political, but the tldr is this: parents nowadays are overworked and isolated

[cunning jacinth]

only if you have a skipless cd player

[dreamy ferry]

LMAO

[wise fractal]

we're not raising kids right

like for our own health

we're meant to do it in groups not 2

[zenith dirge]

We can’t

[wise fractal]

Yeah exactly

[dreamy ferry]

Especially young parents and how unafforable living is.

[zenith dirge]

That saying, “it takes a village” it still rings true today, but life quality now prevents it

[crimson brook]

I agree people work 2 jobs and 3 jobs

Can barely be with their kids

[dreamy ferry]

It should never be like that, it’s insane

[zenith dirge]

We’re more guarded than ever before, and if we can afford housing, we prefer isolated suburbans with fenced in backyards than open homes with inviting verandas

[dreamy ferry]

Mmmm yes.. being put on this earth to work work work for a hundred years. Paying 2k per month for a crappy london apartment.

[wise fractal]

I mean my hasband and I have full time jobs with side hustles because you can't make it without the extra income, it's actually ludicrous

[zenith dirge]

Where did we go wrong?

[gloomy lynx]

inZoi was so hyped but now I feel it's dying already

[zenith dirge]

Rather…not we…but where and when did it all start to go wrong?

[cunning jacinth]

900 is my budget and I haven't it once fam MOVE

[cunning jacinth]

you are wrong but okay =]

[dreamy ferry]

LMAO my friends in london are literally struggling rn it’s hell

It’s so expensive to just live

[cunning jacinth]

get a WFH and move to a village xD

[dreamy ferry]

Makes me want to move countries with a good life quality - work life ratio

[wise fractal]

same

uk is insane

[cunning jacinth]

the US is full ||of crap||, sorry

[zenith dirge]

And that’s a place with “free” (your taxes subsidized for those) healthcare and education

[dreamy ferry]

I will most likely try to save as much as i can to move elsewhere in europe. Me and my partner both agree we cannot stay here.

[zenith dirge]

The whole world is on fire, literally and figuratively

this is a myth but they are substantially thinner

[wise fractal]

got me in the middle of a sentence 😂

[ruby nacelle]

its not far from done

[crimson brook]

I moved into a new home and I can confirm the newer houses aren't as sturdy as the ones of yesteryear

[dreamy ferry]

That’s crazy, even our cheap houses here are all like brick

[zenith dirge]

Look at Japan and Korea…their work environment is so extreme they are on a population decline because they don’t have time nor motivation to “dance the horizontal tango”

[wise fractal]

Free lmao

not for me

[crimson brook]

I rather have brick too

[zenith dirge]

Their parents are attending their marriage meet-ups for them!

Because they have to work!

[wise fractal]

I'm South African so I had to pay the nhs £1500, I do this every 2.5 years

[dreamy ferry]

I’ve heard japan and korea have very hard and strenuous work life to quality ratio

[cunning jacinth]

bc they were built in 1650 after the Great Tulip Drought or sth xD

[crimson brook]

I heard the babies aren't being made

[zenith dirge]

How’s err…how’s the load-shedding problem?

[wise fractal]

cheaper

[dreamy ferry]

tulip drought 😭

[crimson brook]

The material for homes today aren't sturdy like them 1950 homes

[wise fractal]

generators are fantastic things

[zenith dirge]

Avoiding to be political…but I’m sure everyone knows at this point since it’s pretty much an open secret…but the quality of life for STUDENTS in those countries? Not healthy

[dreamy ferry]

mmmm oh to live in a pretty scandinavian country in a very naturistic area and be able to live comfortably in a calm lifestyle.

[zenith dirge]

Students! Kids!

[wise fractal]

THIS

[crimson brook]

I need a generator I keep forgetting to get one

[wise fractal]

I was a teacher in Japan for 5 years and my god I feel so bad for students there

it's insane

[cunning jacinth]

I want a solar-powered generator. I feel like it's a hack

[zenith dirge]

They are more isolated not only in the “home” but the “village” (I.e. school and afterschool) all in the name of…something? Stability? Success? Wealth?

[wise fractal]

There is 0 work life balance in Japan

[crimson brook]

What do they go through?

[wise fractal]

do itttt

[dreamy ferry]

crazy thing is aswell i don’t think city life is very healthy for people. atleast for people like me. it makes me feel claustrophobic coming from a town/village ish area. me and my partner were talking about how there’s little to no greenery anywhere etc.

[dreamy ferry]

that sounds exhausting

[hybrid crag]

Oh wow off topic is so active :0

[wise fractal]

Yeah, they have a type of death "overworking" and that blows my mind a little

[zenith dirge]

It isn’t…humans were meant and built to live a tropical semi-rural lifestyle…but for some reason…we just…don’t

I don’t know why

[crimson brook]

There was more greeny a decade ago than today. Asphalt making it feel like we're burning

Ain't no shade

Oxygen

[wise fractal]

tech

[crimson brook]

Hate the city

[cunning jacinth]

bc it's too hot!

[crimson brook]

They're cutting down the trees and making unaffordable homes

[cunning jacinth]

we're all gonna go French Revolution before too long

[dreamy ferry]

This. Literally across from my house they’re building new “affordable” homes.. selling them off for 500k.

They took over all the local fields for it

They’re currently trying to take some farm land a little bit away from where i live

[zenith dirge]

It makes me fear what’s in store for children…the innovation of entertainment and games is a good distraction…but it is no remedy. What good would it do to play with gadgetry beyond our wildest dreams if there’s a…what’s the word…?

[dreamy ferry]

Farmers fighting back though thankfully.

[zenith dirge]

Disconnect?

[zenith dirge]

No…that’s not right…

[cunning jacinth]

burn the developments

[dreamy ferry]

They’re going to be so brain rotted and unable to see what’s reality and what isn’t. It’ll be the generation of literal zombies.

[wise fractal]

people will just start living in vr probably

ready player 1

[dreamy ferry]

Crazy thing is people already do because vr is “better” than IRL.

[wise fractal]

[zenith dirge]

I only have hope that if this is the path we’re on, then the problem becomes so bad that they are forced to innovate their way out of it…but complacency is the more likely scenario than true progression

[crimson brook]

I really feel.like that anime sword art online is going to be the future

It was telling us what the future would be like

[zenith dirge]

I know! There are “digital windows” that show all sorts of idyllic pixelated scenery, and that’s just for starters

[cunning jacinth]

necessity is the mother of invention.
but with our luck we'll get coffin-sized apartments called BodyLockers™️

[zenith dirge]

That is…actually a serious concern

[dreamy ferry]

i love touching grass

[cunning jacinth]

Japan might already be doing it tbh

[wise fractal]

You're getting to deep into what's most likely lol

[wise fractal]

they've already got those hotels

[zenith dirge]

Deathcare is a neglected industry. In America alone it’s still illegal to aquamation and natural burial (in cloth) is still illegal!

[dreamy ferry]

Think about how dystopian it is for people to be going into games like vrchat and finding rain worlds and naturistic ones because they have no access to nature at all where they live.

[wise fractal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77iV1IT_Q2g&ab_channel=CashJordan

[zenith dirge]

And now they want to build ships to host bodies?

[dreamy ferry]

That looks horrifically claustrophobic

[ruby nacelle]

Here’s a challenge for us all

[zenith dirge]

Let’s not forget, rain now has microplastics in it…

[wise fractal]

Right?

[cunning jacinth]

idk plug me into vr on that long voyage, but keep my batteries charged

[zenith dirge]

Oh I think I stayed in one of those…

[ruby nacelle]

The entire server needs to touch grass

[dreamy ferry]

Everything has microplastics in it now.

[cunning jacinth]

just did, thanks

[zenith dirge]

It was a novelty, but one I can’t endure of doing everyday

[crimson brook]

Not even bottled water is safe

Ima still drink it tho

[wise fractal]

I do this everyday lmao

[ruby nacelle]

Look how blue the sky is

[zenith dirge]

Yea, given the alternative, that might be a better idea

[crimson brook]

I want to.touch it

[zenith dirge]

Should I be concerned there is not a single cumulo-nimbus cloud in the sky?

How hot is it?!

[dreamy ferry]

The sky looks so drinkable

[crimson brook]

It's been raining so much here

[dreamy ferry]

Share please

[crimson brook]

When was the last time yall saw a bird flying in the sky

[cunning jacinth]

I have birds outside my window rn and see a gang of them almost every day

[dreamy ferry]

On the way home from the gig on the Sunday it started raining. Honestly the smell of rain is super nice. I got to hold my partners hand whilst we walked through it. It was actually very pretty

[zenith dirge]

I hear birds…but I see them either on telephone wires or on very sparse trees

Not flying

[cunning jacinth]

I miss fireflies, but I think I'm just in the wrong ecosystem

[dreamy ferry]

We have gangs of pigeons here

[ruby nacelle]

The sky hasn’t been this blue in a long time

[zenith dirge]

Me too…

[crimson brook]

I hardly saw them this summer and we usually have them

[zenith dirge]

I think there are people in my town killing possums because they have them confused for rats!

[cunning jacinth]

I moved to almost Canada and "it's supposed to be a mild winter"

[dreamy ferry]

:(( poor possums and poor rats

[wise fractal]

Omg that's horrible

don't kill either people

[zenith dirge]

The Dutch have it just as bad too

[crimson brook]

Possums play dead near us

[wise fractal]

I actually abhor glue traps

[zenith dirge]

In the old winters they used to skate in their canals

Now their canals never freeze over

[dreamy ferry]

I miss real winters. It never seems to snow where i live in the UK now

Last year we had no snow

GIVE ME BACK MY SNOW

[cunning jacinth]

YES

WE WANT SNOW

[dreamy ferry]

if i don’t get snow this year i stg

[crimson brook]

When was the last time yall seen snow

[wise fractal]

I moved here (uk) excited for the snow and it's been dissapointing to say the least lmao

[cunning jacinth]

like 2017 😭

[crimson brook]

Not to get religious but I haven't seen snow on Christmas in over a decade

[cunning jacinth]

covid killed winter confirmed

[dreamy ferry]

Mann you need Scandinavia for that i think

We get nothing here really

[crimson brook]

Where did all the snow go

[wise fractal]

nah I had Japan Hokkaido, that shit was insane

[crimson brook]

I haven't build a snowman in so long

[wise fractal]

SO much snow

[dreamy ferry]

LMAO

[crimson brook]

🤧

[zenith dirge]

Actually…back in Covid the environment actually somewhat managed to have a band-aid

But, we’re back with a vengeance like a bat out of hell!

[crimson brook]

They had deer in the city during c 19

[zenith dirge]

Omg that sounded like paradise, worldwide death rate not withstanding

[crimson brook]

Not a tree in sight

[zenith dirge]

That looks…unbearably hot and inhospitable

[crimson brook]

At least they planted a tree beside my house

[zenith dirge]

Looks like Australia actually…

[crimson brook]

Can't stand naked neighborhoods

[ruby nacelle]

[crimson brook]

Where the treees

Oo tree

[wise fractal]

not a cloud to be seen, but some trees yes lol

[ruby nacelle]

My outfit will be finished in 30 minutes

[zenith dirge]

Come to think of it, weren’t there dolphins in Venice during CV19?

[zenith dirge]

Augh…clouds would be so good right about now…or everyday for that matter

So in conclusion: our kids are so dead…

[cunning jacinth]

0 clouds in the sky =/

[wise fractal]

did you climb into that tree

[zenith dirge]

There is no village to raise them, the environment will kill them, what else?

[wise fractal]

air will be acid

[dreamy ferry]

It’s sortve why i’m so persistent on not having kids. It just doesn’t feel worth it. I don’t like kids as it is and to bring someone else into this world the way it is seems cruel.

[wise fractal]

oh that's the enviroment

uh

[crimson brook]

Ryzen climbing in the tree xD

[wise fractal]

They'll all be

half robots

[zenith dirge]

Yea those

[ruby nacelle]

[zenith dirge]

Not a cloud in the sky, really?

[crimson brook]

I can understand your frustrations

[zenith dirge]

[wise fractal]

I feel bad for wanting them

[dreamy ferry]

duck :3

[ruby nacelle]

I see duck

[wise fractal]

don't get how people can say NOT wanting kids is selfish

[crimson brook]

Quak at the duck

[ruby nacelle]

Thicc duck

[dreamy ferry]

it’s usually from people who have already have kids who are either delusional or wish they never had kids themselves

[zenith dirge]

Yea, I’d feel better if the kids at least had a village, even if the environment wants to kill them, but we don’t even have that

[crimson brook]

Maybe she pregnant

[zenith dirge]

We have…apartments and suburbans with fenced in backyards…

[wise fractal]

Yeah that's what I'm seeing but the level of delulu there...

[cunning jacinth]

ducklings!

[dreamy ferry]

Is astronomical

[crimson brook]

Kids nowadays don't go outside

They stay inside playing on tablets

[wise fractal]

Mine will

[crimson brook]

Back then our parents had to search for us xD

[wise fractal]

She says knowing a lot of parents proclaim this lmao

[ruby nacelle]

That’s a society problem

[wise fractal]

I'm 100% taking them out and building a farm with sticks and rocks and stuff

[ruby nacelle]

Everyone is overworked and parents give there kids iPads to keep them busy

[zenith dirge]

Yea, remember when they had commercials reminding parents to make sure their kids are actually at home and in bed?

[wise fractal]

"Eat that mud!"

[crimson brook]

They be like do you know where your kids are?

[zenith dirge]

Yea…but now “here, have an iPad and don’t disturb mommy/daddy so we can have that vacation to (whatever affordable nearby beach town there is)” which never happens anyway😅

Environment aside, there’s other things in society that failed kids

[crimson brook]

Making mud pies was fun

[wise fractal]

The school system which hasn't changed in almost 200 years?

[crimson brook]

And giving them to my grandma to eat

[zenith dirge]

Going back to Korea, which already has a dismal life quality for STUDENTS, their safety record for kids (and women) is crap…same reflected in Japan

Other countries are probably the same…what’s it like raising a child in a city centre in America?

[crimson brook]

I feel like our school system has changed but for the better I can't really say

They cut out a lot of stuff

[zenith dirge]

Remember “common core”🙄

[wise fractal]

I can't agree with that, schools are designed to teach you how to behave in society

how to fit in a box

[crimson brook]

Like my school didn't have home economics

[wise fractal]

not to mention we have so many students who simply don't learn the same way

[crimson brook]

That was a mess

[zenith dirge]

There’s three crucial skills kids need to know out of high school, at the very least; everything else is a bonus

1. Financial Literacy
2. Critical Thinking
3. Sex Ed

I don’t think education right now is getting even those right

[wise fractal]

Yeah and we don't teach any of that sufficiently

Like there are men out there who think periods are a full moon thing

wtf kind of sex ed are we teaching

[zenith dirge]

Wait really?

[wise fractal]

Yes

[cunning jacinth]

1. never happened
2. got in college
3. 7th grade

[zenith dirge]

[zenith dirge]

1. 
2. 
3. 

Well at least you weren’t a teen dad…right?

[crimson brook]

I wish my school taught us more about credit cards

[cunning jacinth]

right

[crimson brook]

And overspending

[wise fractal]

The finances are very lacking, credit cards, taxes, retirement

so much to teach

[zenith dirge]

I know!

It’s like kids think it’s bonus money

[crimson brook]

Like I'm 24 and I'm still learning new stuff

[zenith dirge]

No it isn’t, it’s the bank’s money, it’s a loan!

[wise fractal]

not to mention we never teach kids about self care and looking after their mental health, in schools

Just push out the worker bees and keep moving

[zenith dirge]

You pay for it or go to prison with estafa on your record!

[crimson brook]

Yes mental health was definitely overlooked

[zenith dirge]

Tbf that social stigma was millennia in the making and acceptance is relatively recent

[crimson brook]

We're definitely seeing that now

[wise fractal]

Fair but we're woke enough now, start doing it

[crimson brook]

So much low self esteem

[wise fractal]

Man I'm a mess

I look at myself and wonder, is this just how adults are made?

[crimson brook]

It felt like mental health in school was more taboo than s.e.x

[zenith dirge]

Oh tell me about it🙄I’m cluster A and clinically diagnosed depressed and therapy is expensive and not covered by insurance!

It’s cheaper to plan your own funeral than living check-to-check!

I am C-suite, and modesty aside, you know what I worry about? I worry about work, I worry about keeping poverty at bay, and I skip therapy because damn that is another added expense against my bank book…

[crimson brook]

My insurance only.covers one meeting with a therapist...

[wise fractal]

I do this too

[zenith dirge]

[wise fractal]

same

[zenith dirge]

You get one meeting free?!

We get nothing here

It isn’t covered at all

[crimson brook]

Ima need more than one and it's for like 30 minutes >_<

[wise fractal]

yeah my company offers this

[zenith dirge]

Yea…our kids are f…ked

[wise fractal]

and all I thought was... 30 minutes? Nah I'll pass

[crimson brook]

Your lucky if your job offers it. The only reason I have access to it is because of a parent

[wise fractal]

So you get to bring up your issues to fixate on them but never get any sessions to sort it

I know this will make me sound ungrateful but I don't feel lucky because I know one sessions not enough

[zenith dirge]

Would it be bad of me to say…I’m just really tired…? And the only reason I’m still alive is because death is the one fear no human has ever conquered?

Meh…that’s just a regular Tuesday…

[wise fractal]

Not bad, just relatable

[zenith dirge]

and Wednesday and Thursday and just about any day that ends with -day…

[wise fractal]

gotta try and find the joy in the little things

I've been trying that but heh

[zenith dirge]

Yea…

[crimson brook]

Yeah you gotta try to find joy even if it's the little things

I get happy when I see a duck at the park

Or a butterfly

[zenith dirge]

Yea…those do make me happy

Maybe it won’t be too late for the kids…I hope

[crimson brook]

I planted a garden it was one of my favorite things to do

I didn't think I would be able to grow a single tomato but I woke up one day and saw like 50 of them

[zenith dirge]

Speaking of gardens, you know what would be nice too?

If wildflowers become more widespread and grass lawns stop being a thing

I wonder if people know that dandelion isn’t a weed and is actually edible as a salad or tea?

[wise fractal]

I know that, it would be cool if these perfectly manicured bee killing lawns could become a thing of the past

You've just reminded me of my wildflower plan lol, ty

[zenith dirge]

Oooh do tell

[wise fractal]

We moved into a new build at the beginning of this year and I was staring at the freshly laid turf and all I could think of was wildflowers, but life was stressful and I got distracted so I kind of just fell back into "how things are done". So I think I'll put it on my list for spring next year and set out to turning our garden from lawn to wildflowers

The cats will love it too I think, they love frolicking in the grass when it's overgrown

[zenith dirge]

Good plan! Remember to add clovers! Edible and more practical than grass

And avoid buttercups!

They will kill your cats

[wise fractal]

will do and noted!

[wise fractal]

Oh yeah I have an extensive list of cat safe plants

no lillies in my house

[zenith dirge]

Good plan! 👍🏼

[wise fractal]

[dreamy ferry]

Mmmmm leaves

tastey leaf

[zenith dirge]

That depends…what leaf is it?

[dreamy ferry]

i had chicken salad yesterday it was amazing

[zenith dirge]

Damn it I’m envious

[dreamy ferry]

i am one of a rare few

who really enjoy vegetables

and like greens

like they taste good to me

apart from peas the texture throws me off

[zenith dirge]

People would probably enjoy veggies more if parents weren’t doing such a bad job cooking them😂

[dreamy ferry]

leafy greens on top though

[dreamy ferry]

extremely true LOL

[zenith dirge]

And, you know, actually seasoned them instead of just salting them

Hmmm grilled carrot…

[wise fractal]

LOL literally

[dreamy ferry]

pretty sun

[zenith dirge]

Argh! It feels like it’s about to burn me!

[wise fractal]

-squints

[zenith dirge]

Not a cloud in the sky! It buuuurns!

Also here

Note the pre-alpha disclaimer

[wise fractal]

oh not seen these

it's giving lby

[zenith dirge]

But really…UE5? And this is what they could do with the trees?

Not LBY…maybe like Paralives…but somehow lacking something…

[wise fractal]

Looks like their desire to be stylized is effing up the point of the engine they're using

[zenith dirge]

That…je ne sais quoi

[wise fractal]

they'd might as well not use ue5

[zenith dirge]

Unity would’ve been better

[wise fractal]

yeah for sure, what a pointless waste

[zenith dirge]

And they’re basing this on Paris, like, what?

[wise fractal]

WAIT WHAT

THATS paris???

omfg

well they're just adding another angry demographic I guess

checking equality boxes for angering people lmao

[zenith dirge]

It’s…I think they’re basing that on the arrondisement north of the Ile de la Cite

All I can say is, that is not the Paris I know

[wise fractal]

Yeah...

[zenith dirge]

The pre-alpha sims look…undead

Or at least pallid and sallow

And I’m pretty sure that goth girl’s leg is clipping through the bench

I’ll be honest…it looks like mid-poly crap

Which is excusable for, like, Paralives, which isn’t crap because the style is deliberate and their engine is suitable to execute it stylistically…but UE5 and just mid-poly meshes…? That’s insulting to Epic Games😆

[wise fractal]

Yeah for a company like this it's unacceptable, the fact that they have this after how long they've been in developement and then you see how much Krafton did... well it's pretty obvious it's a lack of caring more than anything

[zenith dirge]

One of the sim gurus, or well, one of their executive members/admins

Is a lurker on this server!

AHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh shite make that 3 of them!

[vapid vault]

yall wanna see the sims 1 pre-alpha?

[zenith dirge]

Ahahaha! Omg they are scoping out their competition

[zenith dirge]

Nice

[fossil meadow]

So that sims update
Sounds like it's true that Project Renee isn't sims 5 at all

[zenith dirge]

No, it’s more like they gave up on a Sims 5

[vapid vault]

yall remember when the sims 4 pre-alpha looked liike this? 🤢

[zenith dirge]

And decided to do a co-existing multiplayer mobile-PC hybrid

[fossil meadow]

"The Sims will move beyond linear, sequential Sims releases and offer more options for players than ever before. We’re focused on creating a variety of games and experiences that will touch different categories across the simulated life genre including cozy games, social and collaborative based gameplay, mobile narrative games and continued depth, improvements, and modernization of The Sims 4, which will continue to be a foundational Sims experience."

"Continuing its development alongside other exciting new projects within The Sims franchise, Project Rene is focused on building ways for friends to meet, connect, and share while playing together in an all-new world."

"The Sims 4 - Testing new features as we invest in improvements and modernization efforts "

[zenith dirge]

They have three of their stooges lurking here on standby

[fossil meadow]

So I ALWAYS had a theory that Project Renee was going to be a "metaverse" project but didn't have anything to prove it past
A character read on the sort of things I know EA's top end people would likely latch onto as "COOL AND NEW INNOVATIONS" and they've always loved their marketing words
But that was just a hunch until this post

[zenith dirge]

Now…how to take advantage of
that…

[vapid vault]

🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢

[fossil meadow]

I wouldn't be surprised if they're making project renee a "metaverse" like they wanted Sims 4 to be

[zenith dirge]

Yea yea, that’s bad…right now I’m still wrapping my head around how they have three stooges blatantly roosting here for some reason

[fossil meadow]

But often these companies very very misunderstand how to foster communities with out milking them for money at every second
Which is why Facebook's "metaverse" collapsed

[zenith dirge]

Yea we know

[plush acorn]

So I hear that Sims 5 has been scrapped and they are now partnering up with simmers to bring in multiplayer to the Sims 4 and to do creator kits

[proven lotus]

Still is unfortunately
Here except if you're lucky no school will have teachers caring about you or if you're comfortable in class

[proven lotus]

? Where

[vapid vault]

that would be great news

[plush acorn]

https://variety.com/2024/gaming/news/the-sims-5-update-multiplayer-creator-content-ea-interview-1236142010/

[zenith dirge]

It’s never been scrapped…a concurrent PC-mobile hybrid has always been the plan

[fossil meadow]

Sort of but not exactly
Project Renee is not Sims 5 but going to be their online metaverse it seems
Sims 4's life is going to drag out forever and they want to modernise it

Project Renee is the multiplayer thing
No mention of sims 4 going multiplayer

just they want to add more games instead of having linear installments
So new multiplayer games

[proven lotus]

Exactly

The article is talking a lot but the devs literally said there was a reason for why project Renee wasn't called Sims 5

[vapid vault]

oh thank god

[plush acorn]

Oh really?

[fossil meadow]

Yeah the bad news is
There is literally no sims 5 in the works or planned

They want to rebuild Sims 4

[proven lotus]

Yeah! It def won't be any additional opus, more like "brand new" features

[vapid vault]

they played us lmao

🤣

[wise fractal]

No ones saying anything here people haven't already said on social media, so dunno what those 3 stooges are hoping for

[zenith dirge]

They’re rebuilding it? I thought they were just modernising it

[proven lotus]

I never saw a news site not saying confusing things

[vapid vault]

fr im in shock

[proven lotus]

Especially when talking about games

They always make new articles to say useless things 😭

[wise fractal]

wait what ew

[plush acorn]

Ooooh

[wise fractal]

tbh tho they are really good at keeping visible because of all of these types of nonsense articles

[fossil meadow]

Okay maybe I used the slightly wrong term but what I mean is
It looks like they're trying to fix the engine's backend mess and then build onto it so it can last another 10 years

They hired an entire taskforce just to stablise the engine and fix bugs

[vapid vault]

oh

[wise fractal]

So they're fixing the mess they made instead of starting new?

[vapid vault]

thats great news then

[wise fractal]

why?

[fossil meadow]

I wouldn't be surprised if they are planning a graphics update

[fossil meadow]

Pretty much

[wise fractal]

probably

[zenith dirge]

They can’t…they need to deconstruct the entire code because it was built on the ruins of Olympus

[vapid vault]

i hope that will be optional?... 😊

[wise fractal]

tbh that would be good tho, but it won't necessarily fix how soulless it feels

hopefully they focus on that aspect too

[vapid vault]

was it builded in Unity or what engine ?

[fossil meadow]

And I'm sure people are telling them but
You'd be surprised how many upper management people don't even play games let alone make them
So it gets pushed much to the dismay of the devs

[zenith dirge]

Internal, possibly the glass box engine that was used in SC2013

[wise fractal]

omg THIS

I've had things pushed on me that are so retardium

[zenith dirge]

I am…actually looking forward to this…in the sense that it’ll be quite a disbelieving spectacle

Oh I hope their lurking admins are reading this as we speak

Give us a hell of a show, guys!

[fossil meadow]

I think this puts me in the
Sims franchise might fully become Simscity box for the first real time
Because they're pushing for a future they don't even know works and jumping on terminology bandwagons without understanding what it is

Because I ABSOLUTELY know they're going to be throwing metaverse around in the background for Project Renee

[zenith dirge]

Oh let them have their fun…it’s going to be more fun for us

[hazy tiger]

I had the most excuse my language but I had the most shitty night

[steel glacier]

I have to ask, how do you know that?

[zenith dirge]

I looked into their profiles

[gaunt veldt]

Gabe Newell

[zenith dirge]

I’m more surprised they have the guts

[zenith dirge]

Who is their direct competitor again?

[gaunt veldt]

Right now? Epic game and GOG i think

[zenith dirge]

Hmmm I hope Epic Games is alright

I may not like much else about them but they did develop Unreal so…

[gaunt veldt]

Epic is fine but the store look unpleasant to me ❓

[plush acorn]

I need to know which ones

[fossil meadow]

@subtle shard an excuse to drop the meme

It has Heavensward too in the trial

[subtle shard]

okay ill give it a try

[hybrid crag]

pretty sure i heard abt that one already

[fossil meadow]

ARR can be a very slow esculation in pace compared to other MMORPGs which
Do also tend to have very slow build up
But FFXIV tends to make you unlock everything through the MSQ and acts as teaching you everything via that and blue side quests
and sometimes it can feel like a chore but the payoff is so worth it if you can get over the hurdle
I often compare it to Kingdom Hearts
Sometimes you need to go skateboard and hang out with Roxas' friends doing odd jobs for the story to hit so hard later on and end up caring so deeply in KH2

"What is the point of this all"
And then eventually it'll click and you'll keep coming back to moments in ARR like
Oh
OHHH
OH MY GOD

I have never had an MMORPG constantly change my perspective on past events so much like sometimes movies or TV shows do after a big reveal ™️

[hybrid crag]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-revenge-of-sith-anakin-vader-darth-vader-gif-19644107

[subtle shard]

Okay so ill give it a try since so many ppl keep telling me to play.

i just hope i dont get into the fandom

[fossil meadow]

I avoid majority of the twitter fandom but I engage with the fandom outside of Twitter

[subtle shard]

uhm yeah so about twitter... dont do it.. i agree and also tiktok...

so... idk why this person thought sending me a request with that pfp was a good idea xD

[sharp siren]

Who is he?

[gaunt veldt]

CEO of Valve

[crimson brook]

WHATTTTT

[broken quiver]

Wait... Sims is going multiplayer? What happened to project Rene

[crimson brook]

I'm trying to figure that out

No one tells me anything until it happens 🫠

[gaunt veldt]

pray for optimization if that happen

[crimson brook]

There's a mod for multiplayer

But I feel it's not optimized well

My sim hair was missing

[gaunt veldt]

and 50 people gather in same place, image that

and we cant use mods right? no?

[crimson brook]

I hope it's like barbie

[vapid vault]

FRFR

[ancient hatch]

wait wtf

actually

is this where the sims 5 budget is going now

oh my god

it is real

[vapid vault]

LMAO

[proven lotus]

Any fellow astrology fan or

[hybrid crag]

Meeeeee

[broken quiver]

Sims 4 is going to get even buggered up

[gaunt veldt]

70$ for sims 5 🤑

[broken quiver]

Doesn't even exist lol

[vapid vault]

we will probably get trailer the sims in next year

[gaunt veldt]

lets go 😎

[crimson brook]

When the sims say over a billion hours of playing

I'm the reason cause I never closed out my game lol

It be running in the background

[sinful gorge]

https://www.thegamer.com/the-sims-5-officially-cancelled/#:~:text=As reported by Variety%2C EA,starting with a multiplayer DLC

[broken quiver]

Jealous. Haha. It looks fun

[ruby nacelle]

I did say project ren was canned

[gaunt veldt]

we got lion before inZOI 😎

[ruby nacelle]

When all the devs were layed of or quit

Where are my brain cells at

I think I lost a few

[crimson brook]

So project Rene isn't sims 5 it's just a mobile game 🙄

I'm so glad inzoi is coming out

[plush acorn]

I loved barbie

[plush acorn]

Oh so it is a mobile game 🤣?!

[gaunt veldt]

Easy microstransaction for EA if mobile

[ruby nacelle]

project Rene was sims 5

but EA canned it after the mass lay offs

[ancient hatch]

yess definitely a top tier movie in the past years

i enjoyed watching it

[keen raven]

we love the sims 5 😍 🥰 it looks... really... ermmm.. yeah yk

[keen raven]

it gives me life by you vibes but worse

[vapid vault]

wth

this is really sad how the sims fell down

it was my childhood game ;(((((((

[hybrid crag]

SO PRETTY AAAAA

[hybrid crag]

only thing i love is the purple hair

[keen raven]

the face of the girl with purple hair looks like a corpse

[hybrid crag]

yk...we've all been there- maybe she jsut needs sleep

[broken quiver]

The Sims need makes me anticipate inZoi more

I uninstalled Sims 4 the other day cuz no space

[keen raven]

maybe, but anyways, I will not be that bad, I know that the sims 5 still in development

[keen raven]

also, maybe its just me but is that the furniture from the sims 4?

[gaunt veldt]

i cry play final fantasy 16, such masterpiece

[hybrid crag]

i'm actually exited for it...all that they've said until now about it actually has potentional. But since i didn't play other sims games (only sims 4) i'm basing myself off of that game, and in my opinion, what they've said so far sims 5 seems slightly better

[keen raven]

I wanted to buy the online final fantasy game, but idk if its good

[gaunt veldt]

its good if you have many free time and friends to party with

[keen raven]

I dont see potential at all, but anyways I respect ur opinion. I rlly dont see me playing another mobile game of the sims again... they said it was f2p, so ohno, it will have microtransactions

[keen raven]

okaay nice

[keen raven]

also they want to release a "sims movie" if its a live action we are fucked up

[hybrid crag]

i'm just trying to keep my mind open and be positive because at this point what else can we do with them

[keen raven]

right, anyways, do u know about a good open world game? I already played ghost of tsushima and rdr2

[ruby nacelle]

@hybrid crag im glad you liked it

[hybrid crag]

Ooo…idk many sorry but recently my go-to games have been Vivaland (which is a demo definitely check it on steam) Rival Stars mobile and a bit of ps5 and switch games :) also love Animal crossing, stardew valley and Palia is next on my list!

[hybrid crag]

💙 keep up the good work tech guy

[gaunt veldt]

dead stranding aka waking simulator 🤣

[keen raven]

I played a little bit of vivaland, it was idk nice to be the bulding mode of the base game

[keen raven]

too empty for me

[past sierra]

lawl, EA saw InZOI and they were like 'nope' https://variety.com/2024/gaming/news/the-sims-5-update-multiplayer-creator-content-ea-interview-1236142010/

[keen raven]

and I'm like nope with those images

the characters look dead

[keen raven]

those pigeons have more life than the sims

[ruby nacelle]

hello moony

[keen raven]

hello

[past sierra]

It's funny, it's like they're just throwing in the towel

But everything about Rene had lots of red flags

[keen raven]

first of all, being f2p, online and for mobile devices

it screams sims mobile everywhere

[sleek vapor]

So good news

More life sims from other studios, they have nothing to fall back on besides their broken paid expansions

The falloff of ea needs to be thoroughly studied

[past sierra]

What happened to MAXIS is a tragedy

[keen raven]

What happens in ea stays in ea...

[serene cosmos]

THATS THE SIMS WHATS WITH THE FACES

[crimson brook]

Sims 4 bout to go on till 2030 at this point lmao

[keen raven]

thats what gambling addiction does to u

[crimson brook]

S4 really bout to be the end

[serene cosmos]

oh no. my addiction.

[keen raven]

u will end like that

[crimson brook]

Everyone was hype for sims 5

[serene cosmos]

i gotta stop poppin pills

[crimson brook]

Inzoi really about to take over like

They just gave it to them 😁

[serene cosmos]

i mean i will play sims 4 again, i gotta take care of my famous vampire family

[crimson brook]

[zenith harness]

Hello

[crimson brook]

Hi

[crimson brook]

True imagine if their needs went down when we were away

[serene cosmos]

nah mines cheated.

[zenith harness]

Do y’all have almost all the game packs for sims 4

[hybrid crag]

Didn’t get to playing much but i defined liked the art style 🤩 after a few minutes of playing i got the error code: none message and haven’t been able to get on since then

[crimson brook]

Yes

[hybrid crag]

I have none

[ruby nacelle]

[keen raven]

also, I'm not a fan of "cozy games" at all but Paralives really looks good

[crimson brook]

Ryzen I'm sad

[ruby nacelle]

i just ordered a cheesecake

why @crimson brook

?

[zenith harness]

I got all the packs I wanted been playing sims since 2014

[crimson brook]

Sims 5 not coming

[hybrid crag]

HMMMMM sharing is caring

[ruby nacelle]

i know

[ruby nacelle]

i played all the privet builds of project reene

[crimson brook]

steals them both

[keen raven]

its like the perfect middle point between cartoony style and realistic

[crimson brook]

I like how vibrant paralives is

[hybrid crag]

MWAHAHAGA those were FAKE now you shall melt and pay for your actions 😈

[ruby nacelle]

ima eat bluey

as a snack

[hybrid crag]

Yes!! If yk how to get rid of the error stuff pls teach me

[keen raven]

[hybrid crag]

I am a snack

I’m a blueberry

error? like what error?

[crimson brook]

Bluey thee stallion

[hybrid crag]

[zenith harness]

I miss sims 2

[crimson brook]

I still play sims 3 that's my secret

[hybrid crag]

If you go on the steam reviews theres a lot of people encountering an error message at launch, i got it after playing for a few minutes and cant get rid of it ever since

[keen raven]

i have no idea about it :c

[hybrid crag]

Awh oki

[crimson brook]

The weather said this morning it will be 65 degrees and raining but now it's 77 degrees and sunny

[hybrid crag]

Sounds lovely 🤩

[plush acorn]

It's not. EA is doing a creator kit thingy now and a testing program for packs

[keen raven]

I honestly think that its more like they need ppl to work for them

Also, they dont want to create a new game because "they dont want people to loose their progress"

[keen raven]

Like the meaning of playing a new game is starting from zero, because its a new experience, every sims game is a different experience and thats what makes you enjoy the games

[crimson brook]

Katt Williams didn't lie about 2024

It’s glorious

I’ll always love the Sims, but I like EA getting their butt kicked so…

Have some popcorn!

[cunning jacinth]

wait really?

AI and mobile got mentioned, no TS5, and schisms?

[zenith dirge]

It’s been imploding since awhile ago but it’s in a lull for now

But it’s about to get spicy again soon

And I am here for it!

Wait what?

I better go look

Please do, and go find out who the stooges are

Remember how simmers were complaining about InZoi having AI tools, and now Sims4 is getting em lol

[crimson brook]

Yong what they saying

[zenith dirge]

We are having the time of our lives looking at them, and it brings me great pleasure knowing they have 3 EA stooges roosting here and know they’re hated everywhere

Life is good

They'll still sweep it under the rug and say how Sims 4 is still better than Inzoi even though they both are in the same basket

[cerulean steeple]

Fill us up with the tea Yong 😂

[crimson brook]

I'm curious if the ai will be implemented like inzois

[cerulean steeple]

Frfr dude. Might need to hop on their discord myself

[zenith dirge]

They are talking about how they don’t want multiplayer, they don’t want cross-play, and they definitely don’t want Rene

[plush acorn]

Oh I'm there now reading. I have the popcorn lol

[crimson brook]

Omg yall watching them lol

[zenith dirge]

Oh and AI, but those are the digital artists…I sorta feel some sympathy for them, though I use traditional arts so I can’t completely understand their fear

[crimson brook]

Is anyone fighting

[plush acorn]

Yup 🤣🤌

[cerulean steeple]

What’s the discord name?

[plush acorn]

Just search up the official Sims discord and you'll find it

[zenith dirge]

Personally don’t

[crimson brook]

I saw yong post something

XD

[zenith dirge]

When they aren’t complaining, it’s very dry

[crimson brook]

I just joined it

[zenith dirge]

The only relevant ones are the TS4 and anything sims channels

[cerulean steeple]

U ain’t wrong, it’s dry asf

[zenith dirge]

Not today it isn’t

It’s filled with bashing

Which I so love

[crimson brook]

Inzoi discord more active

I left lol

It is dry

[zenith dirge]

Good move

[crimson brook]

But I saw someome give their opinion on project rene

[cerulean steeple]

Same lol

[crimson brook]

And someone said you need to educate yourself before saying silly things

They quick with it

Idk it's weird cause sims was my first love

Wait the word opposite of positive is banned from the server 😐

[cerulean steeple]

It’s a damn shame bruh seeing what the sims is turning into.

Just plain down sad

[crimson brook]

Also check the inzoi-chat someone mad

[mighty oasis]

Quite the opposite actually

[plush acorn]

Nah that whole Sims discord needs to educate themselves

[dreamy oracle]

Yeah I'm very sorry about it, they've it turned into stale games instead of Concrete 😭

[cerulean steeple]

Yo Jon, can I ask u somethin bruh?

[dreamy oracle]

What is it?

[cerulean steeple]

U like apples or oranges?

[dreamy oracle]

Apples 🍎 & Orange 🍊 for me,
and I listen to Bad Apple by Nomico + Remix to Distract & Distance my Brain away from that Stupid Games

[hazy tiger]

I made a poem about my friend who passed away

Would anyone like to read it?

[mighty oasis]

Sure! Sorry for your loss 😞

[zenith dirge]

When it comes to cleaning devices, such as laptops and phones, which is best? Cotton or microfibre cloth?

[stiff hill]

microfiber from what ive heard not as rough on the screen

[junior bear]

i have successfully made two chimkin emotes (plus color variants)

[stiff hill]

GASP

show the chimkin

[plush acorn]

Microfiber is best. Cotton Qtip is okay for nooks and crannies. Now if you are cleaning film or metal pieces I recommend using Isopropyl Alcohol

It kills mold

[plush acorn]

Also works great with cleaning discs

[junior bear]

behold

[stiff hill]

ADORABLE

also ur arts style is so cute

[zenith dirge]

A black chicken?

I think I’ve had one of those before…

It didn’t really taste all that different from the usual chicken

But apparently it’s a prized ingredient in Chinese cuisine, so, eh…

It tastes fine

[covert niche]

When ru gonna draw me

[junior bear]

Ayam Cemani - they're solid black down to their skin (: I had a cemani rooster who this is based off of !

[zenith dirge]

Ohh…I don’t think I ever ate roosters, only hens

Because they’re gamey and hard to chew

Ah, just wiki’ed it

What I had was a Silkie fowl

[gaunt veldt]
