Cities 2: not fixed after 2 years
Prison Architect 2: indefinite delay
VTMB2: lackluster
Paradox literally has map games to fall back on and they're failing at CK3

[pliant tree]

On the bright side the new Jurrasic park evolution 2 got released and looks beautiful.
Mind you I dont have it yet. Not sure its worth 60 bucks!

Meanwhile..

[cunning jacinth]

MRW you don't know this face

[forest scarab]

Is that you when you still had hair?

[edgy oracle]

hello waffle

[forest scarab]

Hi hi

[edgy oracle]

im off to comic con this weekend :)

[forest scarab]

Ooooh, have fun!
I've been thinking of maybe going to the Winter one over here. But I've been spending so much money this year already so.... yeah

[edgy oracle]

thanks it will be my first one never been to one before

[forest scarab]

Watch out for your wallet, next think you know you've spent $100 on art

[stiff hill]

💀 that happened to me when i went to offkai once

i spent like $100 on trinkets

[forest scarab]

I have so much art and stuff I've bought at cons but it's just like chilling in storage because I have nowhere to put it up. Waiting to move into my own place after I graduate and find a job or something

[stiff hill]

only booth i want to go to now a days is the lads one but im too broke

[forest scarab]

Also so many stickers but I have like commitment issues or something because I'm scared of using them

What if I use it on this but then regret putting it on it and would rather put it on something else???

[pliant tree]

Its the sequal to the original one.

[cunning jacinth]

indeed. I thought the sequel was already out

[cunning jacinth]

wait 3 is out now? wow

wait were we talking about 3 the whole time? xD

[pliant tree]

Yea... heh sorry.

(It released yesterday.

[cunning jacinth]

it looks decent tbh. hopefully it outgrew 1 and 2

[pliant tree]

Ima gonna wait dont really think it is a 60 dollar title.
It looked very similar to the predicessor with alot of the same mechaniics.

[alpine cliff]

I spot a lads player

I use life makeover for my mc since the game doesn’t have many options

[stiff hill]

Yith

I am a day 1 player hehe

[alpine cliff]

My other life makeover character I made and this is on iPad

The detailssss

[stiff hill]

Ooo

[alpine cliff]

Can’t wait to see her on my laptop at some point

[stiff hill]

Do I have pics of my mc I think I do

[alpine cliff]

CALEB MAIN ALSO?

Wait no

RAF

[stiff hill]

I’m a raf and Caleb main but I collect them all

[alpine cliff]

RAFAYEL

I quit a few months back because of the random

[stiff hill]

my wallet cries every banner

[alpine cliff]

Fandom**

I stick to a lgbt+ lads server and that’s it

Specifically 18+

[stiff hill]

I don’t rlly pay attention to the fandom tbh except for a few YouTubers

-# yet I pull every banner

[alpine cliff]

Hopefully inzoi works because I’m immediately making my mc

[stiff hill]

For zaynes banner from a bit ago

[alpine cliff]

My laptop every time I play a game on it:🔥🔥🔥

[stiff hill]

I pretty much have all the companions but they game runs much better on my new phone compared to the 13 I had

[alpine cliff]

I made an outfit in lm for it

[stiff hill]

Oooo

[alpine cliff]

This was on my iPad

I play on iPad and laptop

You can tell with how different the graphics are I think but sometimes my wifi likes to mess stuff up sometimes

[stiff hill]

I’d play on my pc if I could but my account is tied to my Apple ID

[alpine cliff]

Oh no I didn’t mean lads

I mean lm

I use my Google account for that

[stiff hill]

Ohhh

[alpine cliff]

Also is it a good sign if the optimization is loading fast

For inzoi

I’m in

[stiff hill]

lol. I think i still need to do my mc in inzoi

[alpine cliff]

Someone I know made all the lads li

[stiff hill]

I’ve seen a few too

[alpine cliff]

I made Caleb and my mc in the sims and they wouldn’t stop having kids so I had to sterilize them 😅

They had 5

Or 6

I forgot

I had to make them slow down

Then the sims updates and I crashed out

Deleted everything

[stiff hill]

Fair tbh

I haven’t played sims since inzoi came out

[radiant swan]

[frank viper]

About time Raf gets some love I keep running into people who hate him -_-

[stiff hill]

another raf main

[frank viper]

Yes I am Sylus would be my second fav tho but Raf always, I do love a hot merman EHEHE

[stiff hill]

im a raf/caleb main but i collect em all regardlessly

[frank viper]

theres a sylus rerun going currently sadly won't be able to unlock myth form ree had to priortise new keyboard and headphones. But hope they rerun raf myth I'd defs be whaling for it

And you should collect all since hunter contest and deepspace trials need all

Also more gems to farm from and weekly chocolates xD

[stiff hill]

im a p2p but ive also been playing since day 1 so

[frank viper]

I started in AUgust this year tbh hopefully they rerun slyus myth again in future 😩 and maybe do Raf (must have em xD)

[stiff hill]

i have pretty much all the companions but i dont really pull to r3 em

i just pull em so i at least have them hah

[frank viper]

Ah I only pull for the two favs xD

whatever I get for other companions thats a bonus since they'll be used regardless in the things I mentioned I guess

[stiff hill]

-# time for me to whip out my mc pics ahgain

Couple of em

[frank viper]

niceeeee I like

[stiff hill]

tyty

i changed up her look awhile ago so i stuck with this one

i just think my mc looks so darn pretty

[frank viper]

As you should

I need to fix mine eventually

xD

[stiff hill]

haha, at least they give you reset tickets

[frank viper]

Still have mine xD

I just got a second card for caleb and raf so anothe set of pairs unlocked

[stiff hill]

[worn wolf]

Looks like a few creators completely left the sims. Among then are fantayzia, plumbella and even James turner 🤔

Yet little miss perfect is still "but its my job, uwu 🥺"

[stiff hill]

im p sure ive seen fantayzia here

tho the others not really

[worn wolf]

Yeah, she already makes inzoi content 🤣

[ruby nacelle]

inzoi is better than sims now

sims is outdated and burnt to the ground

[crimson brook]

Lilsimer left the ea network 😳

I'm shooketh

I respect her more

[ruby nacelle]

@crimson brook

most said it was because of the EA buyout

[crimson brook]

Ea really dropped the ball with this buyout

Inzoi won

[ruby nacelle]

basically the UAE used dirty money people are trying to say

[stiff hill]

[crimson brook]

Paralives gonna win too

[frank viper]

UAE? they'd get rid of the content in sims 4

[ruby nacelle]

the UAE investment compnay bought EA

since EA owed so much to their shareholders

and was having finance issues

[crimson brook]

All we need is that Inzoi hater to leave ea

[ruby nacelle]

the sims mobile shuts down jan 2026 its been removed from the store

[crimson brook]

I get recommended his vids I don't even watch him 😔

[crimson brook]

I'm shocked again

[frank viper]

could just block him so you don't see them

[crimson brook]

They had all those microtransactions

[crimson brook]

I don't know his name tbh I should tho

[ruby nacelle]

their gonna focus on sims freeplay and just add the new engine into it

and call it freeplay 2.0

[frank viper]

A++ effort

[ruby nacelle]

i mean inzoi does have its own issues to

but not as bad as sims 4

[frank viper]

Well inzoi still in early access and alot newer so they're excused at least for now

[stiff hill]

plus its not a finished game so comparing it to sims isnt really fair

[forest scarab]

EA needs to stop updating the Sims for 10 years and then we can properly compare the two games in 2035 :^)

[frank viper]

At this point EA and Sims are just an example of a lesson xD

[crimson brook]

For these big content creators to step away I was like shocked

https://tenor.com/view/reactions-gif-12900002073893207744

[frank viper]

I liked James and Plumbella

[crimson brook]

I'm talking to my bf about it rn cause I was like they are the reason sims 4 sold so many copies

[ruby nacelle]

there should be a film called the rise and fall of EA

make it a documentary

EA used to be good in the early 2000s then greed took over them

[crimson brook]

They need to put us in it xD

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-a-documentary-tommy-g-mcgee-tommy-g-this-is-a-nonfiction-film-this-is-a-documentary-film-gif-12081854598510972330

[ruby nacelle]

i only speak facts

[pliant tree]

Meh nothing is gonna change. Yall are over reacting.

Besides I thought you guys despise the sims and would like to see it's demise!

[ruby nacelle]

all i want is maxis to leave EA

and find a new publisher

EA ruined them you can't deny that

[pliant tree]

I still have fun with them now and then.

[scarlet hearth]

-# imo the humor was good in Sims 1

[cunning jacinth]

if yall think the mods here are bad, I just got muted in another for saying my CPU, but in tiny text lmao

ten minutes
-# for talking like this

[crimson brook]

Sims 1 and the hot tub was a vibe

[crimson brook]

Now gfdtk29 🤣

[broken quiver]

I don't really watch Sims Streamers though I checked out reviews when I was considering getting a DLC. I'm really shocked when I heard them leaving the EA Creator Network 🤯. I don't know if I could have done that if I were in their shoes.

Maybe some will have inzoi content now

[ruby heart]

I need more in than work and inzoi 🙁

[pliant tree]

@stiff hill Did you get some pings from me about playing Baldur's Gate?
I dont know how that happened. Im sorry.
But cant send DM;s cause you got me blocked or not a friend 🙁

[stiff hill]

Oh my bad, I get so many DMs it’s hard to keep track . I usually just play on my own as I work so much

[pliant tree]

I know I dont know why but when I started BG3 it just sent that ping all on it's own. Ill get it sorted. Sorry.

[stiff hill]

You’re good

[worn wolf]

I hope he stays with EA cause hes exactly what they deserve💀💀💀

[worn wolf]

Youre 100% talking about gonz 🤣

Or it could also be not Malcolm, but he hates everything 🤔

[crimson brook]

I watch not Malcolm he alright but the other one gives me the ick

[wheat merlin]

I only like he roasts The Sims. 😅

Welp, The Sims residents are ready to leave...

[worn wolf]

Well, even in his furious state, he still understands inzoi is early access 🤷🏼‍♀️

[wheat merlin]

True...

[worn wolf]

So the inzoi update is supposed to come within a week cause were in the final week of October

I have a suspicion it might come either tomorrow or after tomorrow and drop on a weekend 👀

Syd mac also left sims 4

Found the culprit for why so many people are quitting

They all received this email from EA today

[crimson brook]

https://tenor.com/view/h2di-dog-side-eye-awkward-gif-7599485883499901089

[verbal laurel]

Successfully landing at Moho. Long roving sessions ahead.
The communication satellites are almost in position too (3 days until the last maneuver).

[keen acorn]

Why was that email the catalyst? Were they unsatisfied with the response?

I thought most people who were planning on leaving now had left already, tho some waiting a few months to see how things evolve (if the deal actually goes through, etc)

[outer marten]

The gangs all here

[wheat merlin]

Just heard inZOI Hyandai vehicle in reality Every time I hear, Oh it's inZOI! 😅

[worn wolf]

EA was basically like "yeah, we heard youre dissapointed about the buyout. anyways" 💀💀💀

[keen acorn]

Yeah... Tho tbf there's probably not much they can say about it

Honestly they shouldn't have mentioned it at all

[worn wolf]

"We heard you, but we are committed to ensure the sims 4 stays the inclusive franchise it has always been" would have been nice at least 💀💀

[limber yoke]

as long as battlefield 6 is saved, thats all that matters

[keen acorn]

I mean they more or less did say that, but tbh the concern isn't with the franchise but where the money will be going to

[limber yoke]

sims 4 is already over anyway

long overdue, should be dead

we need a something like simscity back

also they should kill their sports games too, fifa and all that

[keen acorn]

I agree but it sucks for the people making their livelihoods off the game. And that fact that now if you wanna buy the older games or other franchises under them you're supporting their owners

God forbid they release Sims 3 remaster or smth under the new ownership, I'd feel so bad legally obtaining it

[limber yoke]

yeah i feel kind of bad for them, and even the modders too

dude they should just discount all the dlc

like a real discount

[keen acorn]

Even if they discount it it'd still be the price of many many games 💀

[worn wolf]

I mean, we got cities skylines. Cities skylines is the whole reason we didng get simcity 6

[keen acorn]

There are currently 92 DLC. If they discounted them all to $1 USD, that's still $92 USD which is insane

[limber yoke]

true its like.... even $5 per dlc it adds up

[limber yoke]

😭

[worn wolf]

Actually, there are 100 dlc 🤣

Adventure awaits was the 100th dlc

[limber yoke]

people speculate lots of studios will break apart or cease to exist

[keen acorn]

Damn Google out of date

[limber yoke]

also bf6 season 1 update already has a massive uproar on reddit about the uniforms

[keen acorn]

I honestly hope this happens and that the good IPS get sold off

[worn wolf]

Yup. Its giving me 80-84 💀💀

[keen acorn]

That would probably take years but it'd be the best case scenario

[worn wolf]

And there are appearantly 2 more coming next month

Creator kits

[limber yoke]

true, well I hope battlefield stays in good hands

[keen acorn]

I'm honestly amazed anyone buys those other than console players

[worn wolf]

Some wanna support their favourite creators 🤷🏼‍♀️

And the builder youtubers that wanna upload their houses to the gallery

Or sims

[limber yoke]

i really wish sims 4 wasnt just like, so bad vanilla wise

its just so intolerable

[keen acorn]

I remember when it came out people were so mad at those participating for creating more of what most of them diss on (basic throw away item kit DLC)

[worn wolf]

Right? They keep releasing more and more kits, so why is it that vanilla assets are still an eyesore? 😭

[keen acorn]

Yeah and even then the kits are far worse than anything a modder could make

[limber yoke]

its also the areas, like you get a very basic american suburb

[worn wolf]

They got duzzled by youtubers and bamboozled into thinking they're actually buying packs and not paying microtransactions

[keen acorn]

Yeah, all America-based, maybe 4 lots per map, all of them kinda suck so you just end up living in the 1 decent map from the base game every time

[worn wolf]

Yo, I literally said the other day on reddit how sims 4 is 80% American and got downtoved 🤣🤣🤣

Like, 70% of sims 4 worlds are based in america

[keen acorn]

Wtf it is!

Everything in Sims that isn't American is fantasy based or a holiday DLC

[worn wolf]

Yup

[keen acorn]

God forbid I wanna live in another country permanently

[worn wolf]

This aint a life simulator, its the american dream simulator 😭😭😭

Also, its a crime we still dont have any Mediterranean worlds

[limber yoke]

50% of that 70% is Florida 😭 🙏 jkjk

[keen acorn]

Yeah and I mean it's been that since the first game to be fair. The way Sims 1 displayed the American Dream as a kinda twisted overly perfect fantasy was a really great commentary, but the subsequent games haven't been like that so I don't see why they've never branched out

[worn wolf]

Sims 1 was more of a parody actually

[limber yoke]

😭 Japan as a generic resort dlc

cant have anything like uhm tokyo or smt

also a lot of the buildings are just straight unusable/decorations

[worn wolf]

Sims 2 leaned into the parody aspect snd combined it with adult humor, Sims 3 chose to lean more into life itself and Sims 4.... Basically made a "stage your own game" game

[limber yoke]

i dont mean to glaze inzoi but i like how they're running to different countries straight from the getgo

it takes a lot of research and time to look at real world places and recreate them as close as possible

[worn wolf]

Agreed. Early access and we already got 3 cities based on 3 different countries

[keen acorn]

That's what I mean yeah, like it was a parody commenting on the whole idea in a sometimes unsettling way that really made you thought about it

[limber yoke]

here's hoping that we get NEW YORK in the game, as a part of the U.S

because NY is THE US basically aside from CA

[worn wolf]

Eh, I alrrady got enough usa shoved down my throat for a lifetime

[keen acorn]

Yeah. I'd say the Sims 3 maps are maybe the closest we've gotten to other countries, but they're all still very western

[worn wolf]

There are so many other cities with skyscrapers thaf could be used instead

[limber yoke]

well NY is very distinct from other cities, I think 2 cities per country would be great for a start

[keen acorn]

Especially in this day and age... It used to be the dream for most people to go to the US, but now it's the last thing most people outside the US wanna think about lol

[worn wolf]

True, but world adventures was chefs kiss

[worn wolf]

Not really, looks just like downtown Toronto

[keen acorn]

There's 195 countries, that'd be insane
A city per major country and maybe a second for the really popular ones would be fine

[limber yoke]

Wallstreet, statue of liberty, etc some cool landmarks that could be parodied or something

[limber yoke]

id imagine something like 5-6 countries, 12 cities

[worn wolf]

Toronto got the scotia plaza, cn tower and union station. Again, nothing special about new York

[keen acorn]

More than likely they'd do a fictional mash-up of the general vibe

[limber yoke]

I have a bias because I mean New York(Manhattan) is kinda, the spot for me aside from Orlando

[worn wolf]

If we talking cool landmarks, give me a Paris based world 🤣

[keen acorn]

I'd prefer more countries tbh, 5-6 isn't nearly enough

[worn wolf]

We need at least 1 country from each continent for a start

[limber yoke]

for the base game, I think that would be plenty and also re-using assets per city would save time ideally

I kinda want New York even harder now that ive seen it remade in bf6 with the brooklyn bridge and empire state map 😂

[worn wolf]

Worlds i wanna see in game: japan, Romania, Korean countryside, Scotland, Germany, mexico, Italy, France and Portugal

[keen acorn]

I long to see Australia in a game, I really hope InZOI does it tbh!
Most depictions of it in media are not what most of the country is like in the populated areas haha

[worn wolf]

Romania would be absolutely perfect for a vampires dlc 👀

[limber yoke]

personally I would like to see England, Japan, Singapore, and France aside from the current ones we have

[worn wolf]

Also, I may be biased, but i want a ski resort world based on the canadian Rockies 🤣

Oooh, and an alps world

Actually, the Rockies for a lake cabin and the Alps for a ski resort 🫡

[keen acorn]

England and Japan are probably my top tbh yeah. Specifically I'd love to see all the old architecture from England incorporated 'cause it's smth I don't get to see much of irl, it's so gorgeous

[limber yoke]

i am biased, I would love Sapporo and Fukuoka to be the primary japanese cities honestly

[worn wolf]

Agreed. I want a gothic architecture pack so bad 😭

[worn wolf]

You only thinking about the big cities here. When i went to visit an onsen resort in hakone, it was much more breathtaking than the big cities

Plus, we got a view of Mt fuji

[limber yoke]

I only got to see Mt fuji in shizuoka on a highway bus stop, but it was also breathtaking

I havent been to much of rural japan aside from

Hokkaido, Aomori, and Saga

[worn wolf]

It was incredible. Lots of hills cause we were high up in the moutains, and there was this one spot where you could see all the way to the other edge of town. Lots of farmland on sloped terrain, stone signs overgrown with ivy and old bike paths

And we stayed in a super expensive resort that has mossy cobblestone leading up to the forest, and at the top was a waterfall and fell all the way down into a koi pond

[limber yoke]

😂 very opposite of my time in japan, i was trying my best to make it all last

i really wanted to hit an onsen but only got to, on a ship

a ferry

[worn wolf]

The resort we stayed at has an onsen, or you could just take a shower cause it used onsen water 🤣🤣🤣

[limber yoke]

I took this in Hokkaido, very special place in my heart

[worn wolf]

Lemme find some pics

[limber yoke]

using the ship onsen, the towers were ridiculously expensive

talking about like 750 yen per towel, thats about almost $5 to rent a towel

[worn wolf]

Yeah, that tends to be a thing with tourist traps 💀💀💀

[limber yoke]

it always blows my mind to see koi ponds

[worn wolf]

We actually got one like 20 minutes away from me at the temple 🤣

Im visiting there on the weekend

[limber yoke]

well it wasnt exactly luxurious and only one crew member could speak english on board 😂

[worn wolf]

Bruh, tf is this 😭

[limber yoke]

it works 😂 that day there was no flights out of nagoya

to hokkaido iirc

[worn wolf]

This was our resort 🤣

[limber yoke]

what a killer view

[worn wolf]

Elvis stayed there in the 60s

[limber yoke]

2nd photo looks like its out of silent hill lowkey

[worn wolf]

Thats the back entrance 💀💀

The actual view from our room was of the moutains

I didnt get to snap a Pic though 🥲

[limber yoke]

one day ill go to hakone

depends, I kind of want to see Korea too

[worn wolf]

Ah yes, I wanna go there too 🤣

Hakone has budget options too 👍

We spent like 3 days in hakone and 4 days in Tokyo in the ginza district

[limber yoke]

Tokyo and sapporo are the goat for thrift shopping

I used to live around here as a student a couple years ago

[worn wolf]

True, Tokyo had a super nice market I picked up some super cute shoes from

[limber yoke]

thats kanayama in aichi

Asunal LIVE marketplace on the bottom there's a seijo ishi i used to regular at pretty much everyday

[worn wolf]

This one gives bangkok vibes 🤣

[limber yoke]

when i told my japanese friends i shopped at seijo ishi, they thought i was rich 😂 i kind of realized why though

its mostly an export goods store

import*

[worn wolf]

Oooh, yeah 💀

So you basically visited a tourist trap 💀💀

[limber yoke]

get some salami and parmesean bites, that come with these little sticks for picking 😂

[limber yoke]

mostly for japanese people interested in buying western products

[worn wolf]

Why tf would you visit japan and buy western food 💀

[limber yoke]

I found Hawaiian sun over there it was kinda cool

[limber yoke]

Well I did eat Japanese food, primarily yakiniku on fridays honestly

I did eat mcdonalds a lot tbh

[worn wolf]

The only time ive visited mcdonalds in Japan was at the airport 😭

[limber yoke]

Japanese mcdonalds are like the goat though, better than anything anyone else has

they had this loco moco burger

[worn wolf]

Id have to disagree, cause Thailand seriously surprised me with their mcdonalds

They sell corn pie, taro pie and corn samurai burger

I was actually srs impressed 🤣

[limber yoke]

corn samurai burger is a new one

[worn wolf]

Sorry, typo, meant pork samurai 😅

[limber yoke]

everytime i see a hawaii reference(my home state) in Japan i just get so excited tbh

[worn wolf]

But when I traveled around Thailand and laos for a month in april, I mostly ate rice, spicy papaya salad and meat skewers 🤣🤣🤣

[limber yoke]

ive never been to thailand, honestly japan is the only country outside the U.S ive been to(aside from a stopover in korea)

[worn wolf]

I also fell in love with the coconut smoothie, and im still looking for it in canada to this day 🥲

[worn wolf]

Yeah, you need to travel some more 🤣🤣

Ive been to like 10+ countries

Whenever I travel to a new country, I always research customs, food, and non tourist trap attractions

[limber yoke]

there are a couple ideas that come to mind for traveling

Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Poland, and Germany

[worn wolf]

Super important to do your research, especially for Singapore and Malaysia

In Singapore its illegal to chew gum for example

And I heard Malaysia isnt too safe 🤔

[limber yoke]

Singapore is super strict for good reason also they're weirdly smaller than even oahu island

and have 6 million people, thats insane

[worn wolf]

Not the weirdest thing ive heard. There are smaller countries with larger populations 🤣

[limber yoke]

prices in singapore are actually relatively similar to Hawaii which isnt a good thing 😅

[worn wolf]

Yeah, you probbaly wont be able to do too many touristy things 💀

[limber yoke]

still shocks me that despite this states expensiveness, people from countries like Japan come over here

[worn wolf]

Eh, when we wanna visit somewhere tropical, we go to south america 🤣

Mexico has some nice resorts

[limber yoke]

most of my traveling has been like, walking in random directions or taking a train to a random city half of the time

[worn wolf]

And much cheaper than hawaii

[limber yoke]

my tropical resorts are like Florida to be honest, but thats mostly a family thing for me

[worn wolf]

When I travel for travel and not relaxation, I always have packed itineraries 🤣

[worn wolf]

Idk, I feel like mexico is nicer than Florida 😅

[limber yoke]

I kind of do want to undertake going back to school in Japan again and actually getting that cerificate

[worn wolf]

Oooh, Goodluck on that 👍

Though, I hear theyre introducing a 2 tier pricing system

Aka tourists pay more

[limber yoke]

probably for congested areas like kyoto, unfortunately ive never been there aside from the station

what fascinates me about Japan is mostly how people express their hobbies

I thought the obsession of trains thing was fake until i saw a group of men climb laters to take photos of a train running in the morning alongside the highway

[worn wolf]

Not just attractions, also restaurants

[limber yoke]

i would say they do really good on emulating western cuisine honestly

thats what i mostly ate ngl

[worn wolf]

You know, when I went to harajuku in 2023, I spent the whole dsy there, yet i haven't seen a single person dressed in harajuku fashion 🤔

[worn wolf]

Emulating? No

Perfecting? Yes

Japanese pasta is amazing 🤣

[worn wolf]

I know a tourist trap when i see it 💀

[limber yoke]

my part is like seeing how stocked every store is of model kits and stuff like legos

[worn wolf]

Have you been to donki?

[limber yoke]

don quixote

yeah i have

[worn wolf]

Yes. Now THEY got a lot of hobbie items 🤣

And Thailand has a super nice mall full to the brim of hobbies stuff actyally 🤔

[limber yoke]

I bought my TOMIKA toy tanks from them

[worn wolf]

Terminal 21

[limber yoke]

its like hotwheels of japan

[worn wolf]

I just brought a bunch of maneki nekos from Japan with me 🤣

[limber yoke]

if I could go back to Japan id buy those good luck charms from shrines everywhere

those were cool

[worn wolf]

Oooooh, omomori 🤣

[limber yoke]

omikuji

you open them, and you get a paper that reveals your level of luck, it was kind of cool

[worn wolf]

Ooooh, then yeah, omikuji

Or do i mean the pouches?

Youre not supposed to open the pouches 🤔

Which one?

Left is omomori and right is omikuji

[limber yoke]

let me find the photo somewhere but i bought it from the shrine in wakkanai

[worn wolf]

Did you have to pick a stick to pick a number? Then yeah, its omikuji

[limber yoke]

cant quite remember, each was 500 yen and i just chose the most expensive one at the shrine

[worn wolf]

But did it come in a pouch?

If it did, youre not supposed to open them. Basically the monks put the prayers inside and that's how they take effect

[limber yoke]

it did come in a crab like pouch yep

[worn wolf]

Then you weren't supposed to open it 💀

[limber yoke]

Well it was kinda cool finding out, gave the better luck to my Japanese friend

[worn wolf]

They been 💩ing on inzoi for the AI tools, and yet....💀

@ruby nacelle we literally talked about this today 🤣

[ruby nacelle]

yep

[worn wolf]

Also, the kjun video is dropping in like 60 to 90 minutes 👀

[scarlet hearth]

Once scriping out and if we can create a map, can someone make a Fatal Frame mod based of these?

[wheat merlin]

Hard cleaning with steel wool. 😓

Let's hope Paralives win and take over The Sims 4!

[warm dew]

@tough jolt it is Jeff the Land Shark from Marvel Rivals

[steep shale]

You can tell me what you want but this will be the best life sim ever

[woven hatch]

What is this?

[steep shale]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VQRLujxTm3c&pp=ygUQR3RhIDYgdHJhaWxlciAyIA%3D%3D

Typ in gta 6 trailer 2 in youtube if you dont trust link

[woven hatch]

Ahh lol thank you 😂

My brother is so excited for GTA6 he put the release date in our family calendar

[steep shale]

Yeah this will be next level realism

Me too 100% best gamr ever

Will be most realistic game no doubt

[worn wolf]

Its gonna be a good simulation game, but definitely not a life sim

[stiff hill]

Eh was never into gta

[steep shale]

Well gta 6 will be different and more realistic

And female mc and male mc

[stiff hill]

Still doesn’t mean I’ll be into gta lol

Not my typa game

[worn wolf]

The main pillars of a life sim are: getting a job, decorating a house, dressing up, romancing characters, managing motives and having kids. GTA has none of these

[steep shale]

I mean look at this

[worn wolf]

Its realistic, yeah. Still not a life simulation

[stiff hill]

[worn wolf]

Also, these ss look like story mode cut scenes, not the game itself

[stiff hill]

Please don’t spam the pics 🙏

[steep shale]

Sure prob all things you can do espect getting a child and work as nurse

[worn wolf]

highly doubtful. You play as 2 characters who are in love, so romancing someone is out the window. Finding a job? Only to complete missions, you cant actualy work there. Decorating a house? Also highly doubtful. Dressing up? Plausible. Managing motives? Impossible since it conflicts with this type of game

[steep shale]

I mean you see all typs of sideactivitys like fishing ,boats , swiming ,beach , grocery shopping , mini golf, clothing ,fitness studios ..and so on.... the npc behaviour and animal behaviour will be most realistic in gaming history which means realistic npc responses , decorsting a house pretty sure you can buy houses and there was already light decoration in red dead 2 pretty sure it will be gta 6 because they lifd together ...what do you mean with managing? Dressing up 100% haircuts,tatoos , grocery shopping and so on...

[worn wolf]

Again, that entire video literally just looked like story mode cutscenes

[forest scarab]

Didn't like GTA5 so I guess we'll have to wait and see if I'll enjoy GTA6

[worn wolf]

The last gta I "played" was san Andreas, and its in quoted cause I just told my childhood bestie how to cause the most havoc and he'd do it for me 😈

[steep shale]

They said 50% gameplay 50% cutscenes

[worn wolf]

Once made him cause a giant car crash on the highway, and when the firetruck arrived, I told him to steal it and cause an even bigger crash 🤣

[steep shale]

But gta 5 is not really immersive or realistic

[stiff hill]

I wouldn’t consider 6 immersive if it’s 50% cutscenes

[forest scarab]

Yeah but just the whole setting and concept didn't really speak to me that much. I've had the same with other GTA games

[steep shale]

Also that jason and lucia are couple means more immersive relationships than ever seen befor in videogame history

[forest scarab]

It's a great game, just not for me

We'll see, there's dozens upon dozens of couples in videogames lol

[worn wolf]

Yeah, im not really into crime simulators either. If I want crime, I orchestrate things that are far worse in my life sims 🤣

[steep shale]

We will see mark my word and we see next year

[worn wolf]

Oooh, another thing: life sims are sandbox games. Gta is not

[forest scarab]

I'm sure the characters will be great in GTA6 because Rockstar is really good at writing a strong narrative

But based on my experience with previous GTA games, I'm like not really super excited for GTA6 :P

[steep shale]

But nothing like this I really think Gta 6 will revolutinse gaming or srts a new standart for AAA gaming

[forest scarab]

We'll just have to wait and see

Quite often revolutionary games are the ones you least expect

[steep shale]

Gta 6 will be sandbox open worl .. we dont know about there mission design yet if it will be linear or more open but the open world if you ignore story will be sandbox

[worn wolf]

Thats not what a sandbox game is

A proper sandbox game gives you all the tools youd need to make your own gameplay

[forest scarab]

GTA is like an action crime rpg kinda game, not sure I'd really classify it as a lifesim game as the main purpose of the game is, well, not managing a life and whatever

[worn wolf]

Messing around on a game doesn't turn it into sandbox

[steep shale]

You probably can do almost anything in gta 6 anf world around you will react ro it what do you mean😭

[forest scarab]

Well, we don't know that until the game actually releases :v

[worn wolf]

Yup

[forest scarab]

cough Cyberpunk marketing cough

[worn wolf]

Its all speculations

[forest scarab]

Cyberpunk is amazing but good god did they give the marketing team too much freedom

Oh the devs mentioned they are maybe considering adding something like this maaaybe?
Marketing team: "YEAH WE'RE GETTING THIS AND IT'S GOING TO BE THE MOST IN DEPTH THING EVER"

[steep shale]

Well but red dead 2 was almost semi realism like but gta 6 has 3 -6 times the budget and 10 studios cordinating and working together on gta 6

[forest scarab]

Which technically doesn't really say anything but hey

[steep shale]

Mark this and see next year

[forest scarab]

I'm sure GTA6 will be good, it's Rockstar after all, they tend to cook. But as long as the game isn't out it's all just empty words

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[worn wolf]

Sure. I'll jot it down right next to all sims 4 and other AAA game trailers

[forest scarab]

Remember how Mindseye was called the GTA killer for MONTHS and had a $100M budget

[steep shale]

I mean red dead 2 came out 2018? And is still most realistic open world .. so gta 6 with 3-6 times the budget could actually be matrix like or very simulation like like 90% close

[forest scarab]

We'll see

[worn wolf]

Most realistic doesnt equal most fun imo. If its all just set dressing, it just muddies the gameplay and makes it appear shallow

[steep shale]

No no no this is rockstar they are the best devs in whole world

This is like mike tyson level

Gaming

[worn wolf]

Like, walking around a living world is fun and all, but when its all set and done, what are you supposed to do next with it?

Gta 6 is gonna be about stealing, completing missions, driving cars, and murdering. Exactly the same as all other gta games, only realistic

[stiff hill]

And there are prob many upcoming games that are probably gonna be better than gta imo

[forest scarab]

imo best devs in the world atm are probably Larian, they're pretty goated

[steep shale]

They have patents for extremly realistic npc behaviour .. interacting with objects .. so i guess the open world will no be empty but filled with activities and realistic npcs

There are even insane patents that npcs remember stuff that you did

Random npcs

[forest scarab]

Team Cherry also pretty insane

[worn wolf]

Actually, the devs for planet zoo are also very goated. They literally have the most powerful build mode ive ever seen, even among games specifically about building

And the ai is absolutely insane

Especially with the pathfinding

[forest scarab]

Who are they again? Frontier right?

[steep shale]

I like larian but bg 3 will look like indie game compared gta 6 100%

[worn wolf]

Okay, so you go to the open world a kick over a can or sit on a bench or whatever. Whats next? How does this improve gameplay in any way?

[forest scarab]

BG3 IS an indie game lol

[worn wolf]

Yeah

[forest scarab]

They're pretty interactive with the community I've heard

[steep shale]

I really mean it i think that gta 6 will set the bar for AAA gaming so high that studios close

[worn wolf]

Idk about that since I only watch videos, but you can legit build a climbing structure out of rotating objects in a 3d space and the animals will actually use it as intended and get enrichment from it. That's why I mentioned how insane that is 🤣

[forest scarab]

Looking at the horrible state of the AAA industry I think companies will shut down even without Rockstar existing lol

Not a lot of change there

[worn wolf]

And by rotating, I mean full rotations on the x, y and z axis

[steep shale]

Yes it does improve the game to interace with enviroment and npcs reacting to it acordingly?

[worn wolf]

Again, not gameplay

[peak stratus]

What a talk in here

[stiff hill]

GTA in general has been around for years I don’t think it’s that inspiring

[forest scarab]

I feel like modding BG3 now to do a new playthrough

I started a modded playthrough a decent while ago but I never ended up finishing it 😔

I want to do an evil playthrough but I always just feel so bad whenever I do the evil things lol

[steep shale]

But the problem will be expactations ... just imagin a person that lifes in california know has life in latin america .. if you once taate gta 6 or what is possiblr it will be extremly diff to lower standart or look at pricing like gta 6 is 70 dollar but other games have same price? People will espect gta 6 level

[stiff hill]

I should continue my playthrough but to busy with another game

[peak stratus]

That's just the standard for a BG3 playtrough

[forest scarab]

Hey now, my first playthrough I binged the game start to finish :P

[worn wolf]

Im doing an evil playthrough in the s%%%s 4 rn with my sims trapped in a dungeons. Its been fun, but its absolute hell to fight all the bugs 💀💀

[forest scarab]

Like 110 hours in 2 weeks or something

[steep shale]

Hot takr i think gta series is a bit overrated but after red dead 2 and seeing 10 studios work together as hive mind on gta 6 with huge budget .. this will reolutinise gaming 100%

[forest scarab]

Oh wow, I though I have 200something hours in BG3, apparently it's a lot more

[peak stratus]

Sorry meant modded you be giving that Skyrim treatment with gotta add more mods then get exhauted for abit and then go* ooo new playtrough* notice new mods. Rinse and repeat

[worn wolf]

Rimworld is probably gonna be better suited for my gameplay, but i wish it was an rpg 🥲

[forest scarab]

The good old spending an entire week modding and troubleshooting your Skyrim only to play it for a weekend and then never looking at it again

[worn wolf]

I did go through the Geneva checklist with rimworld, but I sometimes crave an rpg with the same level of depravity 🤣🤣🤣

[forest scarab]

[peak stratus]

Polka: Geneva Convention? Don't you mean Geneva Suggestion?

[worn wolf]

No, i mean the Geneva checklist 😭😭😭

[forest scarab]

I think for me my most anticipated games atm are probably Resident Evil 9 and Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave

[worn wolf]

Convention: domt do it

Suggestion: doing it is bad, but okay

Checklist: now that this is done, time to move on to the next one 👀

[worn wolf]

Im just here waiting on witchbrook that got delayed for the gazzilionth time

[peak stratus]

You fit right in the Paradox community

[worn wolf]

Paradox is on my black list 😒

But I did play ck3 🤣🤣🤣

Made my ruler impregnate all the surrounding queens so their heir is actually secretly my kid 🫢

If they alrrady had heirs.... well, they died peacefully with snake poison

[peak stratus]

I still be playing that. I'm a completely fair and just ruler with no intentions at all

Also like CKIII has like World of Darkness mod. And i'm a sucker for Vampires. Loved Vampire the Masquerade : Bloodlines as a wee lass

[forest scarab]

Oh yeah, I've seen that game, it looks fun!

[forest scarab]

I'm so sad they messed up the new game so badly :(

Wish.com Dishonored with a bit of vampire paint on it

[worn wolf]

I was planning on binging 🥲

[peak stratus]

It's bittersweat. There's aspect i do like about it but there's soooo much that's just lost😭

[forest scarab]

It's just a boring uninspired thirteen in a dozen action game

Paradox, is the vampire RPG game in the room with us???

[worn wolf]

Im bitter at EA for giving us all that tension with split fiction only for the mains to be "roommates" if you get my joke 🤣🤣🤣

Wrong title, mb

[forest scarab]

It's almost as if a 10 year development hell, kicking out the OG dev team, and putting a dev that has only made walking sims before isn't the greatest for your game

[forest scarab]

"And they were roommates"

[worn wolf]

Yup, exactly 💀

[peak stratus]

And they where roomates. How cute

[worn wolf]

It would have been so natural, instead of being shoved down our throats like in dragon age 😒

[forest scarab]

it's almost as if every good writer has left Bioware after ME3 / DA:I

[peak stratus]

Yee.. Kicking off the OG writers for Bloodlines was a far depature from Golconda

[worn wolf]

If i remember correctly, their creative director did quit on the spot when EA intervened in game development

And I heard some other employees walked too 🤔

[forest scarab]

I miss the old Bioware 😔

The Mass Effect trilogy is one of my favorite games of all time

[worn wolf]

Ea is where game studios go to die

[peak stratus]

The lucky ones break away from EA and form there own company. Like Embark which consist of ex-DICE employers. EA are censoring games in chat that are made by Embark Studio. That's something

[ruby heart]

Is today a holiday why are children off school???

[worn wolf]

There's also midsummer studios that are working on a new life sim and consist of former sims devs and civilizations leads

[ruby heart]

School was way better than adulting

[worn wolf]

I dont miss the prison cells, but i do miss the shenanigans ive gotten into 🤣

[peak stratus]

That sounds promising. Worth keeping an eye on 👀

[worn wolf]

Oh, you didnt even hear the best part 👀

Appearantly it's gonna be a storyteller sort of lifesim. You basically orchestrate the story and the game reacts to it

[forest scarab]

There's this one game I played the demo of during Next Fest that was just on, Ledgerbound, and it's made by a bunch of ex-Helldivers 2 devs/directors/producers/writes/whatever
It's super fun!!!

[ruby heart]

Lmao

[worn wolf]

The production started around the time lby got cancelled, so its gonna be a while

But they got a lot of funding

Krafton is actually one of the investors 🫢

[ruby heart]

I can’t sit in my living room because my 1000 year old fridge is screaming

[peak stratus]

That's intriguing 👀 Does the project have a name yet or is it like in it's conception stage

[worn wolf]

Its still in conception

Ive only heard peeps here and there from interviews

[peak stratus]

My eye and ears will be open then 👀

[worn wolf]

I wish I couod find that interview I watched ages ago, it has so much useful info 🥲

Heres a press release for the studio launch though

https://www.midsummerstudios.com/news/studio-announcement

[peak stratus]

Damm. That's some old dogs on the team. Refreashing

That's not supposed to sound derogatory😭

[worn wolf]

Okay, im never underestimating my research skills again

Found it 👀

https://youtu.be/rJpRqcdriJQ?si=t5Gn9SVz0LDJuevN

Relevant info starts at the 5 minute mark

[worn wolf]

Nuh, I gotya. The more expericne a person has, the better they know how to do their job 🤣

[peak stratus]

Gonna watch this for sure once i'm done with my Korean lessons

[frank cobalt]

Soooo anyone on here that plays repo excited for next week's monster update o.o

[stiff hill]

-# I played it for all of one week and have not gotten to play since

[frank cobalt]

it's definitely a game that feels like u need a solid friend group for 😅

not sure how I feel about playing with randos

[worn wolf]

So i made a joke earlier today when somebody was talking about a major November update and I said "EA is probably gonna upsell bug fixes like some major game feature".

Bruh....

this was literally just posted. Am i a psychic? 😭😭😭

[cunning jacinth]

"oh no, inzoi is getting another update in October, better do something!"

[ruby heart]

Inzoi in my off topic chat!

[peak stratus]

Oh no, another major game is also coming on the 30th. Better do something.

EA has really been panicking recently. Like damm

[cunning jacinth]

game has been out for ten years, but here's 150 bug fixes ig

good timing?

https://tenor.com/view/i-think-not-coincidence-coincidence-i-think-not-i-dont-think-so-gif-22491031

[peak stratus]

Willing to bet another round of Save corruption incoming?

[cunning jacinth]

definitely

How in the hell am I supposed to play in this snow!

[wheat merlin]

150+ Bug & Glitches Awaits Expansion Pack

[frank viper]

they really panicing

[ruby nacelle]

a lot of creators left the network to

so ea in panic mode

[frank viper]

I legit went pirate on sims

[ruby nacelle]

[frank viper]

cause of one their updates LITERALLY BROKE THE GAME AND APP

and I could not fix it etc

basically did the path cannot be found then I tried reinstalling, reinstalled then tried to UPDATE it broke all over again (mods saves etc weren't in the folder)

So ye I went shady route cause at least it was playable e.e and could update

but I guess its fine when theres Inzoi now

But in saying that HOW THEY MANAGE TO DO THAT is beyond me

[worn wolf]

Im playing the game rn, and its actually so incredibly broken and 80% of it is spent fighting bugs

[frank viper]

makes me feel better ditching official version tbh but still you think if they wanna survive they'd FIX their stuff now that they have competition oh wait they rolled over and died

Also dropped sims currently cause I could not be stuffed trying to sort through the cc and mods cause they changed how they worked???

[worn wolf]

Haven't bought anything "official" from EA since sims 3 days 🤣😭

[frank viper]

mine is months =_= I miss it but nahhhh

the stress anint worth it

and I have ALOT OF CC for sims 4

[worn wolf]

I was one of the people asking for a sims 5 since sims 4 first came out, so ive had a vendetta for the past 10 years 💀💀

[frank viper]

ew no brother

they can't even fix 4 no new sims game until they can stop being greedy and fix the current one

cause 5 would defs be as broken as 4

[cunning jacinth]

thank you for easily jumping ship here like us xD

[worn wolf]

No, i agree. Ea should never touch anything life sim related with a 10 foot pole. However, 2014 was a different era. We didnt really have a choice 🤣

[frank viper]

As long as Inzoi doesn't cause any stresses with installing mods and cc I'm gucci

cause yeah I stop playing sims for too long cause of the stress being induced

[worn wolf]

Wasnt hard to jump the board of a drowning ship 😭

[frank viper]

Now we do

[worn wolf]

And thats why I have my sights set elsewhere 🤷🏼‍♀️

Im waiting on inzoi to bring us some sims mechanics, like locking zois in the basement 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[frank viper]

Don't tempt me with a good time

especially if they're paparazzi

[worn wolf]

I just made my dog attack them in the sims 3 💀

[frank viper]

I lock em in 4 by 4 solid walls

but found it too slow so coughs extreme violence mod did the trick

especially since in Sulani they just barge into your house

[worn wolf]

Ive recently had a random sim show up at my non sulani house. Had to use mccc to delete her cause she wasnt leaving

I dont even know how she got in in the first place 😭

[frank viper]

Urgh I hate that

neither

I did have mods like private lot or no paparazzi btu you know EA and them breaking things

[cunning jacinth]

next time use a ghost to burn her house down

oh sims

[frank viper]

yes sims xD not sure if ghosts in sims could do that

[cunning jacinth]

best they can do is "have child"

[worn wolf]

Plus, the infants are the glichiests stage by far. They cant use diapers while sleeping on the playpen most of the time, you have to tell the adult sims to do 1 action at a time with them or theyll glitch out, and adults keep waking them up from the crib and putting them on the floor 🫡

[frank viper]

Ok admittedly I would cheat the heck out of that with the mods installed

[worn wolf]

Yeah, i can use a ghost to lavitate a sink and make it break 💀💀

[frank viper]

add all the memories and stuff then age up cause yeah the adults WONT look after em

[cunning jacinth]

if movie ghosts were sims ghosts the best they could do is close/open doors or mess with electronics

[worn wolf]

And only in sims 3. I dont think its a thing in sims 4 😒

[frank viper]

not in 4 no

[cunning jacinth]

heck 4 just got burglars like two months ago

[worn wolf]

And they aren't even good 😭

[frank viper]

A shame I wasn't playing when they brought out fairies I was waiting for them LOL

[worn wolf]

Just feel like useless npcs no different than ones showing up at your house to "claim" your 💩 with eco lifestyle

[frank viper]

I turned that off

:}}}

[worn wolf]

You didnt miss anything. One of the laziest packs ever

[frank viper]

and Knox was real annoying tryna hit on my girlie all the time

like dude please go away

[frank viper]

worse then werewolves?

( I dont' hate werewolves just they were implemented poorly)

[worn wolf]

You mean the furry dlc? Theyre not as annoying, but youll get bored after 1 playthrough and never touch it again

[frank viper]

yeah I hated how they were furry looking not actual werewolves e.e

like bruh

[worn wolf]

Hopefully if inzoi decided to bring in the supernatural, theyll include actualy good werewolves 👀

Like in a pack or something

[frank viper]

make aliens more idk

[frank viper]

useful

they werent that good in sims 4 either

[worn wolf]

I dont think ive ever even played with them 😭

[frank viper]

and not to probe teens and knock em up I had that happen once

I was miffed

[cunning jacinth]

what the heck is going on in sims

[worn wolf]

So no teen woohoo, but mpreg teen pregnancy yes? 😭

[frank viper]

You haven't seen half of the stuff that goes on in mine its constantly chaotic

even turning off autonomy is .....futile

[frank viper]

as long as theres an option to turn it off for those who don't want it xD

[worn wolf]

Ive once had a broken mod, and the sims would very slowly lose parts of their head and then neck, until theyr were just a pair of walking legs. I have no idea how you even go about breaking cosmetic cc this bad to begin with 😭

[frank viper]

oh man thats annoying the missing half

I think you had to cheat reset em or something I don't remeber

[worn wolf]

I traveled, and it fixed the issue, but then it would start up again and again and again

[frank viper]

I remember also the radio also had issues

[worn wolf]

Anyways, i just rage quit and Uninstalled for a year 💀

[frank viper]

the constant notif of it causing LEs but warned it could be an EA error

I think I quit almost 2 years

[cunning jacinth]

||the last time I installed TS4 I got mugged so don't reinstall||

[frank viper]

F

[cunning jacinth]

they didn't get anything dw xD

[frank viper]

how did you deal with em

[worn wolf]

I mean, i reinstalled rn cause I was craving some depravity inzoi cant offer. Im jusf patiently waiting here for the full inzoi experience 🥲

[cunning jacinth]

I didn't, they didn't know how to fight haha

[frank viper]

LMFAO

why mug if you can't fight LOOL

[cunning jacinth]

numbers ig

I wanna rob people in the game lol

[frank viper]

I miss the chaotic depravity I'd be hyena laughing irl when stuff happened

[cunning jacinth]

like interaction>rude>demand wallet

[frank viper]

I mean

baseball bats exist in game

[worn wolf]

I got mugged as a kid once by another kid (weird, I know). Anyways, one black eye later and I developed a reputation for not taking 💩 😭😭

[frank viper]

Just uh you know

goood

[cunning jacinth]

I got that in HS lol

not the black eye tho

[frank viper]

[worn wolf]

In hs I gave another black eye for a very good reason, and the teacher was like "just dint do it again" 😭

[frank viper]

LEL

[cunning jacinth]

omg lol

[worn wolf]

Thats how you know the teacher thinks the guy had it coming too 😭

[frank viper]

I mean if you don't stand up for yourself they're gonna keep doing it

[worn wolf]

Exactly 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also, speaking of depravity, rimworld is a perfect game for it 👀

[frank viper]

Oh I seen friends play that LMFAO

[cunning jacinth]

ah yes. warcrime simulator 5000

[frank viper]

the stuff they'd do

[cunning jacinth]

I set death on down chance to 20% so I can "recruit" raiders for my "volunteer" army in defense of the next raider group

just wearing the skin of the fallen as shirts, yknow

[worn wolf]

I like taking prisoners, harvesting their organs (slowly so I can harvest as much as possible before they die) and sell them to travelling merchants and then when they die I turn them into kibble to feed my pets 😭

[cunning jacinth]

the circle of life™

[worn wolf]

Yup, rimworld is a good game

[cunning jacinth]

I like that as long as you set the warden to enough "managers", you can have like a 16:1 ratio and a huge standing army

[worn wolf]

Id abandon the sims in hearbeat, but with my current playthrrogh, rimworld just cant offer it 😢

[cunning jacinth]

you can have a family in rimworld js

[worn wolf]

I know, but that's not the playthrough im taking about 😭😭😭😭

[cunning jacinth]

the burglars are armed and the relationships can break down and someone can go crazy bc they didn't eat on a table. what's not to love?

I don't like when the one guy I assign as a doctor dies on day 3 =/

[worn wolf]

Rimworld doesn't have giant glass windows 🤣😭🤣😭

[frank viper]

Rimworld take notes

[cunning jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/upgrades-robots-gif-21291099

[worn wolf]

Set your doctor to only be a doctor or doing stuff indoors and dont let them out. That's how I keep mine safe

[cunning jacinth]

true. the wounded have to go somewhere, why not indoors

[worn wolf]

Oh, and a fake window 👀

[cunning jacinth]

I love digging into a mountain and being a little mole person

mountain = free rooms vs harvesting tree for flammable walls

[worn wolf]

The mountains are actually perfect for a natural fridge

Keeps your fridge cold during heat waves

[cunning jacinth]

I still add a cooler lmao

just in case

god I wanna play now but I don't have a stable save; I'd have to start from scratch

ugh and they have a new DLC I need to buy

[worn wolf]

Bruh, sometimes the heat waves are so insane even 3 coolers dont do it, so I have to resort to creating a deadlock and a double layer wall

They do 🤣🤣

[cunning jacinth]

speaking of deadlocks, are you a fan of killzones?

killboxes, rather

[worn wolf]

Killzone?

[cunning jacinth]

funnel to death

[worn wolf]

Ooooooooh 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[cunning jacinth]

that's what I use my wood for rather than building walls xD

[worn wolf]

I usually just attack then with firearms 😅

[cunning jacinth]

oh the ones I recruit are usually lying in traps

[worn wolf]

Wood is usedul for interior non prison walls cause there was a playthrough once when I ran out of stone to expand my base 🤣

[cunning jacinth]

I'm a huge fan of the war aspect, so I'm always encouraging raids by shooting toxic waste at other settlements

[cunning jacinth]

tbf my map is always like 80% mountain

I need a river, an exit, tiny bit of land to farm, and the rest is stone

[worn wolf]

I prefer the maps with more space cause it usually provides my colony with ample food

One time I had so much food literally all the shelves were fully stocked, my colonists were eating lavish meals, and STILL i had like 20 corpses in my fridge cause I simply didnt have space to store them 🤣🤣🤣

Found it!

[cunning jacinth]

YOU MONSTER

NOT THE THRUMBO

[worn wolf]

I already had a breeding pair, this was their baby 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[cunning jacinth]

oh good

wait

xD

[worn wolf]

👀🫢

But yeah, im not crazy enough to attempt to kill a wild thrumbo, I dont have a death sentence 😭

[cunning jacinth]

yeah I think RW needs a playthrough. been stuck on PZ for a while

[worn wolf]

The first thrombo I domesticated and the second one domesticated himself, so it was super lucky 👀

[cunning jacinth]

go, child labor force!

[worn wolf]

I like letting the kids beat the enemies to death once I down them so they can gain experience

[cunning jacinth]

why is it I can have a special max level everything character teach a child, but the child only learns shooting and melee. who is giving the kid a gun?

rimworld causes some unhinged things to be said, sue me xD

[worn wolf]

Yup 😭

Its basically a game where youre supposed to go like "what the most f up s I can do today?"

I know they try to dissuade you by giving your colonists mental breaks..... but nobody cares about that 💀💀

[cunning jacinth]

hm.. bedbound colony for my vampire, but they keep running away.. replace limbs with pegs and then remove pegs, you say?

[cunning jacinth]

not when you can evolve to accept the debauchery

[worn wolf]

I usually do this with with prisoners i wanna keep around for other purposes 🤔

[worn wolf]

True, true 🫢🤣🤣🫢

Haven't tried some other rimworld mechanics, should probably get on that 🤣🤣🤣

Oh yeah, if your farm ever gets to look like that, I highly urge you to convert their entire enclosure into a field or theyll starve

I basically just kept a breeding pair and slaughtered the babies once they reached adulthood. If one if them was getting too old, id slaughter them and keep the baby to become mh new breeding pair 🤣

[cunning jacinth]

so habsburgs

[worn wolf]

Provided a TON of food and transportation. I had to use the muffelo to transport boulders from other maps cause I ran out of stone to build out my base 🤣

Well yeah, but only applies to animals 🤣

Its actually a common practice in real life 🤔

Like, all those pure bred cats and dogs are actually inbred

[cunning jacinth]

my dog's full-blooded bc mom and dad were beagles. don't do that to me

[worn wolf]

I think the worst thing ive ever done on rimworld was when a group of 20 pet snakes decided to join my colony, and i didnt have enough food, so I used them as the food 😅

Oooh, also my doggo army

I'd train the puppies and then sell them to travelling merchants

[cunning jacinth]

thank you for not also consuming them

[worn wolf]

I was thinking about it, but i felt too much of a monster. I draw the line at human children 🤣😭🤣😭

Also, I kept the kibble stocked with the corpses of my enemies

Damn, now I feel like playing rimworld again 🤣

[cunning jacinth]

WE DID IT TO OURSELVES

[worn wolf]

I know 🤣🤣🤣

[cunning jacinth]

that smile.. that darn smile..

Welp, Simmers are leaving to inZOI. WIP project. 🙂

[cunning jacinth]

can I just say that I appreciate the F

it's something from another time I can't let go of

[frank viper]

I have an emoji version too

I'm used to using it when people failed enhancements on BDO etc

[ruby heart]

I love this screen lmao

Anyone here a nerd on gemstones etc

was looking at jewelry

[rigid oxide]

Dose anyone know a good gaming chair for long hours of gaming that dont get sore back or tooshie from

[forest scarab]

I have a secretlab chair that I'm very satisfied with

[rigid oxide]

Good for long hours ?and are the TTRacing chairs any good ?

Just after opinions

[forest scarab]

Can't say I'm familiar with that brand. Doesn't look like they sell here in Europe

[rigid oxide]

Im from aus bro

The bottom looks little flat like would hurt the butt after while sitting

The bottom part of the chair looks little flat sure that would be comfy after a few hours ?

[frank viper]

Just unlocked Zzz

not a caleb main but my rng trolls

[forest scarab]

Your bed is flat and I'm sure that's pretty comfy to lie on :P

The seat part of secretlab's chairs is pretty soft, so butt is very comfy even when using it an entire day

[worn wolf]

Crazy to think that inzoi and sims 4 started on more or less the same ground upon release, yet inzoi base game already overtook an 11 year base game sims 4 content wise in 6 months 🤣

has anyone been watching The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity? the wholesome vibes are just so pleasant

[ruby nacelle]

I had to clean my laptop from dust it was very dusty lol

[worn wolf]

Im waiting for it to finish so I can binge it

[grand shadow]

Yeah it’s got half the dubs out but I just finished it raw because I waited long enough for the eps to even come out 😅

[worn wolf]

Dubs 🤮

[ruby nacelle]

Paste was non existent

[pliant tree]

Yea thats not gonna end well.

[ruby heart]

Gasp 😱 I found a new cleaning stick under the kitchen sink

It took away the hard water stains!!! But too bad I can’t really use it like I want

Putting on a mask.

[ruby heart]

I’m wearing one anyway

How’s Jurassic world evolution

[pliant tree]

I kinda hit a plataeu with it. It can get pretty involved with all the management stuff. Staff, research, production, maintanance. etc etc.

Just each layer adds another level of difficulty and management required.

But wow is it beautiful! I love to go FPV and walk around with the Dinos.

[ruby heart]

Oh so don’t attach each other

Thinking of purchasing

[pliant tree]

attach each other?

[ruby heart]

Attack lol sorry

I just woke up. Well I was awake for 20min

[pliant tree]

You mean attack.. lol.. yea sure they do esp if you put incompatible species togethere.

[ruby heart]

Aww mannnnn

[pliant tree]

Its fun put some compys in a Trex enclosure and watch the chaos!

(Sandbox mode of course)

[ruby heart]

lol unless they eat humans I can’t watch em eat other dinos lol

[pliant tree]

Oh they will do that too.
Only thing missing is mating believe it or not.
I dont see any uhhh organs on the dionos?

[ruby heart]

lol

[pliant tree]

There eggs just kind of appear in the nest. Its a miracle!

[ruby heart]

There was a game I saw…thought it was a Dino simulator. I was wrong

[pliant tree]

The baby dinos are cool.

[ruby heart]

I bet!

Imma play sims because I do genuinely love watching the animals

Gah I wish Nyami were here

[ruby heart]

Love it

I’m about have a panic attack

Great

Crisis diverted

Yay

[wheat merlin]

Dealing RTV with Apple is shocker... I have to call Apple to request CASE ID if RTV rejected.

[ruby heart]

I feel better I think I just used too many chemicals lol

[wheat merlin]

Need more stronger chemical...

[ruby heart]

The bathroom is shiny though!

@dreamy ferry Might have a look above my comment

Disregard the ping now. It has been removed

I’m currently eating my sunday roast, my apologies

[pliant tree]

Nailed it 😄

Minimus is tiny!

[ruby heart]

Sounds good!

[ruby heart]

I have very bad eczema on my shoulder 🙁

How did this happen so fast lol

[verbal laurel]

Good job !

Getting used to Mun/Minmus is great practice for future destination.
Getting good with rovers is another challenge tho. Matt Lowne (famous KSP youtuber) say he hates them but he makes them far too small and extremely unstable, so no wonder.

I guess your next challenge (once you feel comfortable enough with Kerbin-Mün-Minmus, is to attempt an interplanetary transfer and land on Duna.

For myself, just chillin' taking a break after a 50km drive this morning on Moho :

[cunning jacinth]

minmus is the training ground for asteroids!

[cunning jacinth]

please visit the Mohole

[verbal laurel]

It's on my path but quite a few hours away. I'll post about it when I get there 🙂

[ruby heart]

I think I am watching a rat cartoon on Disney plus

And why do all the Disney villains looks alike

[cunning jacinth]

is the rat in a hat

[pliant tree]

I went out and orbited Duna next.

[ruby heart]

Aww live action charlottes web live action

[cunning jacinth]

why will they not leave my childhood alone

[ruby heart]

LMAO!!

[cunning jacinth]

TFW in the Lion King (prequel?) the evil lion invader king was beatboxing

[ruby heart]

If only my old lady mind knew what TFW is

[cunning jacinth]

"that feeling when"

similar to "my face when" or MFW

[ruby heart]

Didn’t even know there was a prequel smh

[cunning jacinth]

Mufasa: The Lion King

[ruby heart]

Jesus Christ ugh

Lmao

[verbal laurel]

You're ready for anything then. Except maybe an Eve land and return mission (those are so annoying to build for as well).

I guess, a Jool-5 would be a challenge.
Just make sure you practice docking and stuff.
Obviously that depends if you play science mode or just sandbox.

Looking forward to your future missions.
Personally I'll be roving Moho for quite some time before going somewhere else 😛

[pliant tree]

Im basically grinding xp for my kerbal pilots at this point.

[cunning jacinth]

could never do career or science. I think I could get halfway up the tech tree

but all my builds are superheavy

for docking, I recommend the Matt Lowne Lazy method

[pliant tree]

Im not ready for docking just yet. Still trying to just do intercepts. But I got on a planet visit binge.
For career mode I turned the xp gain way up in the difficultys 😉

But Ill look up the lazy method when it comes time.

[verbal laurel]

In my game, I have science gains dropped to about 1/3rd. I think I'll have enough destination to grind science from to finish the tech tree, but it's been a long-running fun game of mine. As a challenge, I'm trying to use rovers everywhere I can. I've not done so for Ike yet, as it is annoying to rove on. Probably won't do it for Gilly, Pol and other smaller moons either. But Duna? Moho? Mün? Sure. Actually looking forward to Eve and Laythe the most. Tho landing a rover on Eve is super annoying (well, without cheating).

[cunning jacinth]

I like building a complete Kerbin rocket, but in LKO
