the only problem is TWR bc the middle section, the deep space transport, is a megabus

keep trying to make a mecha suit for Jeb but can't get the walking timing down

[pliant tree]

Would that be like the ultimate Mech Jeb ?
Heh... need to see some pics!

[cunning jacinth]

when I get it working, I'll have a whole Boston Dynamics showcase xD

[ruby heart]

What am I watching

[worn wolf]

Why are simmers so braindead 💀💀💀💀

Appearantly creators leaving the EA partner program but will continue to post sims videos is some saintly ordeal and theyre the best people ever 🙄

[pliant tree]

I see you!

[pliant tree]

Teapot frog head boy!

[quasi whale]

I dont understand this latest pack because I had bought outdoor retreat 10 years ago if they wanted to it should have been a refresh. I have not bought any sims since magic realm

They are releasing pack that they should have just updated the already existing packs

Especially business and hobbies that its just get to work

[worn wolf]

Yeah, but back then they didnt have anti fans nor competition so they were "allowed" to release the worst, most empty packs imaginable and charge for them 🤪

Sims 4 is actually around the time EA started putting the EA in stEAl

[quasi whale]

I bought all of sims 3 for $60 , the whole thing some years ago. That was the price of one the sims 4 in 2014

[worn wolf]

I 100% agree. However, it appears their spa day pack refresh didnt get them enough money so they continued doing pack refreshes, only now theyre charging for it. Simply because they have no new ideas 💀

[worn wolf]

Where tf did you buy the entire sims 3 for $60?? 😭😭😭

I paid like $300 for it way back when and I still dont have all the packs 💀

[quasi whale]

On steam they had a sale

[worn wolf]

Ahh

When I bought it, steam didnt have sims 3 🤣🤣🤣

It was a very long time ago

[quasi whale]

I also had sims in 2009

I really enjoyed it

[worn wolf]

On another note, know how sims 4 is supposed to be "more inclusive than inzoi"?

Well, I realized they dont have an option to identify as the gender that isnt their biological one nor can they identify as non binary, just change pronouns 💀

The "homophobic inzoi" has a more inclusive gender costumization 🤡

[quasi whale]

I have no idea how it got that label

I think its stereotyping

People assuming because the game is in Korea it wouldn't be inclusive

But the audience of those game is not only.korea so im not sure why they assume that or why they assume everyone in Korea is homophpbic

EA is getting bought by Saudi Arabia where its still illegal to be LGBT

Maybe they cant edit the game but its possibly they may let go of LGBT workers and their livelihoods and way to support their families

Ppl really suffer from main character. Its not all about you. They cannot think of others and be empathetic

Source of income from sims is gone they just care losing money and views they don't care about LGBT workers or discrimination

[ruby heart]

GURL tell me about it…I don’t even want to count my packs

[worn wolf]

It's because when the game first came out, it had a bug going around where all the townies were straight and you couldnt be gay with any of them, so the game automatically got labeled as homophobic

And since kjun liked my "coming out event" idea, well, it definitely shows inzoi is quite the opposite 🤣

So how much you wanna bet EA paid off a bunch of news reporters to shit talk inzoi?

Cause were talking about the same company that tried to patent using the toilet and introduced microtransactions to a $70 game, so they aren't above it

[cunning jacinth]

game reporting is not exactly unbiased, ye

[worn wolf]

And the fact that inzoi was coming to early access, and game reporters should theoretically know what an early access game is, yet they still aggressively labeled it "the sims killer" despite kjun directly saying that inzoi isnt a competition, it's another game in the same genre you can play in addition 💀💀

Anyways, I know it sounds likea conspiracy theory, but there are too many coincidences

Especially with the fact that all sims 4 news were rainbows and sunshine and unicorns farts despite the game being a buggy mess with lukewarm packs 💀💀💀

[quasi whale]

excuse me cuz I'm typing this using my text to speech but I wanted to say it's really pick and choose it feels like so that you're seeing people are saying the game is homophobic because it came out with a bug you can only be straight now when I got the game like a few weeks ago maybe like a month ago I already made non-binary boy like the first one that I made was non-binary and in The Sims 4 that was not possible

[cunning jacinth]

were you around when every first-person shooter was called a "Halo killer"?

I remember Killzone being one I found funny

the Halo killer, Killzone

[worn wolf]

I never followed FPS that closely 😅

[worn wolf]

I got you a better one 😭

Ive once seen a news article a while back that "tales from the shire" might be in trouble cause enchanted by nature is coming out at around the same time 😭😭

[cunning jacinth]

neither have I! it was advertised when I worked in an electronics dept

[worn wolf]

What year was this? 🤔

[cunning jacinth]

gods, like 2007?

[worn wolf]

I was like 8 😭

And we weren't brainrot iPad babies back then, so didnt realky go on the web either 🤣

[worn wolf]

Fr though. I got my first phone at 13. Before that, I either had the tv in the living room or the tree outside 🤣

[cunning jacinth]

I worked (chores) to buy my first phone. some Nokia brick

[worn wolf]

Good old Nokia 🤣😭🤣😭

I had to do chores regardless, but my parents bought me a smartphone cause I was moving away to boarding school and they wanted to keep in touch

I was the only one who got a new cellphone amongst my siblings 🤣

Maybe except the youngest, my parents buy him everything he wants, but he's 6

[cunning jacinth]

the babeh

he'll be insufferable xD

[ruby heart]

I burnt my White Castle burger

[wheat merlin]

This was my first cellphone.

[worn wolf]

Me and my other siblings are actually close in age and we call out my mom all the time over it 🤣🤣🤣

I once had a Nokia and I dropped it so many times and it didnt break

However

[cunning jacinth]

pretty sure this was the phone, but black

[worn wolf]

One time I dropped it at just the right angle and it did break

So I opened up the back, realized the metal that keeps the battery was bent, shoved a piece of cardboard in there, and it was fixed 😭

[verbal laurel]

The one on the left is dressed like a Final Fantasy time Mage. Dunno what the one on the right is supposed to be.
trying to scout good series for your kid ?

[scarlet hearth]

Late... but I remember one of the Halo Killer is Advent Rising? love it but didn't last (different point of view, productions etc.)

[ruby heart]

Oh no children here! Thank God. It’s my moms AI lmao

[worn wolf]

I think that specific cartoon was supposedly mega f up 🤔

[cunning jacinth]

this seems like a fire hazard lmao

[ruby heart]

Well I noticed it came out more than 10 years ago at this point

[worn wolf]

Not when it comes to Nokia 😭

[verbal laurel]

Haha, the one that I felt was messed-up when I was young was "Les Maitres du Temps" (litteraly "The Time Masters") a cartoon based on a small sci-fi book (which is both better and worse than the cartoon film). I recommend watching that. As an adult the film feels differently but it held up really good since the eighties.

My sister and I show that to our friends and they all go "what the eff"

lol

[worn wolf]

I know a short japanese cartoon that is the most f up 💩 ive ever watched, but damn does it got good stop motion

Its a short film

[verbal laurel]

Well... Japanese. The only thing more effed up than that are some German cartoons and definitely Russian ones

[worn wolf]

But its not f up for the sake of it, its to raise awareness 😅

[verbal laurel]

And I love Japanese cartoon heh

[cunning jacinth]

hey Sweden has some stuff too

Let the Right One In was much better than Let Me In

[ruby heart]

Anime!

[worn wolf]

Its called my little goat

This one isng an anime though

[ruby heart]

But everything is anime that is a cartoon

[verbal laurel]

Gonna have to check that out someday

[ruby heart]

I feel like anime is a fancy title. 🤫

[worn wolf]

But if we talking about f up anime, then the #1 spot definitely belongs to keropi's original sin

[verbal laurel]

I think I've already seen it, but not sure

[worn wolf]

Or made in abyss

Keropi's oroginal sin is just a new one

[ruby heart]

Right now I am watching the shining

But I’ve seen this movie over a dozen times. More than a dozen

[worn wolf]

Theres also pupa and cat soup. Though they arent as f up as keropi's original sin, theyre still messed u

Although cat soup is more "whoever made this was high" than anything else 🤣😭

Like there's one scene where the cat opens up the pig's skin zipper, takes out some of his meat, fries it up, and they all eat it together 🫠

[ruby heart]

I’m allergic to something in my room ugh

I dusted and vacuumed

[pliant tree]

Maybe your alergic to dust ?

[ruby heart]

Idk what it is but the living room is fine for me right now

Maybe it’s from mixing chemicals lol

[stiff hill]

at least you arent in a severe migraine

[ruby heart]

Omg thats worse I’m so sorry

[stiff hill]

its ok lol its just 😵‍💫

i get them chronically but this week is just bad haha

[pliant tree]

I get occular migranes. Have since I was a teen.
It is a bizzare visual disurbance followed by a crushing migrane.

[stiff hill]

felt tbh cause mine are similar

[verbal laurel]

When I reduce my cafeine intake, which I like to do 3-4 times a year, those migraine are insane.
Usually need like, two tylenol to numb it, and then it makes me drowsy.
hang in there !

[stiff hill]

thanks~ i actually dont drink a lot of caffeine only when i need it in the mornings

[ruby heart]

Poor thing 🙁

I’m watching this one horror movie it doesn’t make any sense

I’m sorry it’s just, I don’t understand this dude anyway

[scarlet hearth]

-# Don't try If he's the killer...

[worn wolf]

My nose has been clogged for 6 months now 💀💀💀

Also, look at his stupid orange face 😭😭😭

[ruby heart]

Too cute!

[worn wolf]

I laughed so hard at him 😭

And the cherry on top is the ai piss filter despite it being a photo I took myself 🤣😭🤣😭

fluctuate propionate life saver for me

[ruby heart]

I wish I wasn’t allergic

[worn wolf]

Yeah, my family doctor prescribed it to me, I just haven't been diligent with taking it 🤣🤣🤣

Though I only got the prescription last month

[worn wolf]

My stepdad is allergic too. We have 2 cats so he takes weekly shots 🤣🤣🤣

We need them cause theyre our mice hunters

[ruby heart]

Hmm didnt know allergy meds like that could help

[worn wolf]

They can 🫡

Basically, they intoroduce the allergen to you in gradually increased doses until your body builds up an immunity to it

Takes between 3 and 5 years

[placid sail]

@keen acorn ok, but how are developers supposed to know how to make skateboarding if people just say “I want it” without understanding how? Why not just post the closest reference, like with the immersive amusement park example, I dropped a Spider-Man 2 gameplay videos, and people refer to that instead of trying to describe what they want in vague terms. Please, explain how I can post it so it’s not just “words.”? Thank you.

In my profession (AAA game dev, over 5 years now) it’s always like this, no reference, no emotional hook = no idea.

[keen acorn]

The way you posted seemed more like advertising the game you linked than providing info for the devs. It wasn't clear to me that it was really even referencing InZOI at all.

The devs don't have time to check every video that's linked and are likely looking more so at text transcripts, so if you want to leave feedback, it's best to summarise what specifically from the video you think would be good features for InZOI, and then link the video to back up your point.
Even if you're referring more to a vibe in the video, it's fine to say that, as long as it's clear what the purpose of the video being linked is.

I hope that helps

[placid sail]

Alright, thanks. When I get the time, I’ll write it properly. tbh, there just aren’t enough evenings to create two concepts per brainstorm, play through multiple games for screenshots, and build refboards all at once Verbal-only doesn’t work for me.. kinda professional deformation.

[worn wolf]

Kjun goes through hundreds and maybe even thousands of comments trying to reply to us all, I think the least we could do is putting in the effort into writing a thoughtful response

[keen acorn]

For sure! The more effort you put in the more likely your feedback is to be seen and considered as well

[worn wolf]

Honestly, as he should. Give the same energy youre given 🤣

[placid sail]

I already said – I’m fine not sleeping at all if that’s what it takes to create some concepts, play through things, find something interesting for inZOI, and pass it on here. I thought forums were the right place for that, but it’s completely unclear where things end up.
Kjun responded positively to 70% of my requests, and those same ones are among the most upvoted and trending (30-200 upvotes), so I confident in them.

I’m in the top 3 on the forums, so I don’t think I need to justify myself. I know my contributions carry weight and are valued by the community.

So for this case, sorry. But in general, it can lower motivation.

concept 1, 2, 3 ~ 5-6 hrs each

[keen acorn]

While these are ofc fantastic and very helpful for UI suggestions, by no means does anyone need to put that amount of effort into giving feedback.
As I'm sure you've seen, the vast majority of posts are just text that's nicely formatted for readability

We should move on tho, that's more than enough InZOI chat for the off-topic chat 😂

[placid sail]

This is for the official forum, each of these concepts has its own thread. People on the forum often share concepts and learn from each other. They basically gave us a space, and we just hung out there, until things started moving here. We’re just waiting for the forum to be acknowledged again.
Thank you

[sudden prism]

my mom sent me this photo

is this real

[worn wolf]

Yeah, thats basically what I meant 🤣🤣🤣

Start with greetings and telling kjun what you liked about the video, proceed to let him know what you think would improve the game in a non demanding way, and finally finish it up with closing remarks, thanking him for his time. Hes still human that can burn out if he keeps going through comments like "i want swings and ice cream. Give us move lots. We need backpacks" ect

[keen acorn]

The forum is definitely still being monitored constantly and I know the team is very keen to get things moved over there for the most part. I'm sure they've seen the feedback there too, it's just not part of the weekly threads 'cause it wasn't in those conversations.
However communication with the community has always been on Discord, hence #1387652526156808283

[worn wolf]

Its fake???? They dont even make boosters seats that big 😭

[keen acorn]

Loll right

Why would you need to pass a leg length test if you're already that tall...

[worn wolf]

Honestly, booster seats are only a thing because regular seatbelts are too big for them

If theh started putting 12 year olds in booster seats, theyd also need to include short 40 year olds 💀💀

[keen acorn]

Well not exactly, the leg length and such definitely holds merit. Even if you had shorter seatbelts, do you think a 2 year old would really be secure 😂

You do have to be tall enough to sit securely in the seat and not slide around

[worn wolf]

Well yeah, that too 😅

Also max booster seat weight is like 36kg. If you weight 36kg as an adult, you need to go to the hospital 💀

[keen acorn]

Yeah unless you have a condition that affects your height ofc, in which case if you're that short, you're probably using a booster anyway for safety

Which is why the law is generally based on height not age

[worn wolf]

Yeah, that too 😅

Technically you need to be over 4'9 🤔

[keen acorn]

I gotta be honest and say that a few kids sneaking into the adult seatbelts is probably the least of people's problems when it comes to road safety tho 😂

[worn wolf]

For real. When my gf was driving us home yesterday, some mofo in front of her didnt turn his turn signal and just steered into her lane and she had to press hard on the breaks. Shes not one to honk, so i took matters into my own hands to let the driver know hes driving like a donkey 💀

[keen acorn]

Some heroes don't wear capes

[placid sail]

Sometimes Kjun used my exact phrasing, even quoted specific threads, and that made me happy. It means there’s a real connection.

I completely agree — this is essential. We want the city to feel alive, with working venues like theaters, subways, and restaurants that reflect emotions and context through animation.

And the entire simulation model we’ve been writing about for months is also expected to show up in InZOI, more or less in the same form. They read a lot more than people think, and even complex texts serve as decision-making ground for them.

That’s all from me. I’m really glad we were able to help with so many complex technical things.

[wheat merlin]

I have only 45 minutes left to go to bed.. :/

[sudden prism]

it said 2027

[sudden prism]

i sat in the front in like the 3rd grade lol

and i’m short

also we never know what could happen 2 years from now

[keen acorn]

Some people like sitting on the edge in life loll

[sudden prism]

lol

[worn wolf]

Think about this realistically: why would a 5'5 14 year old need a booster seat in the first place? That's around the age girls reach their adult height

[sudden prism]

i mean hey technology is getting better and better every day

we may even have flying cars before 2030 they could be made secretly right now

[worn wolf]

Booster seat aint technology 💀

And if a 5'5 14yo needs it, why not a 5'5 30yo?

[sudden prism]

by the government

[sudden prism]

well because it’s for age

which is stupid

car seats are supposed to be for weight mostly

[worn wolf]

Hence it doesn't make sense, hence its fake

[keen acorn]

People have been saying that for the last 50 years
There've been a lot of public tests for flying cars but no one's really gotten it right yet. In China there's a flying taxi in development that was stable enough for ishowspeed to ride in but probably not mainstream for a long time

[wheat merlin]

In Australia, Age 7 and older as long as they are properly restrained by an adult seatbelt.

[keen acorn]

I honestly don't think we'll ever see flying cars for private consumers simply because of the complexities involved in air traffic, but taxis probably eventually

[worn wolf]

Also, even if they make flying cars, they still wont be a thing. The airspace belongs to the goverment and you have to ask them for permission to land and take off when operating a flying vehicle

[sudden prism]

in the US you have to be a certain weight not height or age

you aren’t supposed to sit in the front if the airbag sign isn’t on

[wheat merlin]

Welp, many years ago I was hiding at the back van without a seatbelt... It was terrible.. xD

[sudden prism]

i sat in the front and man i was very light so the airbag sign never came on 😂

[keen acorn]

In most countries it's a height requirement especially for the front seat because if you're not taller than the airbag it can suffocate you

[sudden prism]

true but here it’s weight lol

[worn wolf]

When I want in Thailand in april, I was in riding around the highway in the trunk of a 4×4 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Its the norm there

[sudden prism]

my niece didn’t face the front until she was around 4

[wheat merlin]

I don't have airbags on my car.

[keen acorn]

That's crazy

[worn wolf]

Ive seen somebody holding a baby while driving a motorcycle 😭

[sudden prism]

she was facing back wards and her legs were too long

[worn wolf]

Yup💀

[keen acorn]

Isn't that illegal Idk actually

[wheat merlin]

Welp.. Some idiots on passenger side they place their feet on the dash... Yeah, good luck for dislocation!

[worn wolf]

Sure was fun though 🤣

[sudden prism]

she’s a very tall kid though

she’s going to be taller than me by the time she’s 8

[wheat merlin]

It's legal on the road... Some older vehicles...

[sudden prism]

and i’m 4’11

[sudden prism]

RIP

one crash and it’s over

[keen acorn]

Lol I bet, my Mum loves to yap about how much more fun it was doing roadtrips in the days where there weren't seatbelts

[wheat merlin]

Na... mine is a brick...

[sudden prism]

yo what

[keen acorn]

You're not tho

[worn wolf]

Well, if you visit Thailand and go with the locals, youll experience it 🤣

[wheat merlin]

It's a Swedish made vehicle.

[sudden prism]

i see lol

what side do you guys drive on

[worn wolf]

He owns a turd from the 80s 😭

[keen acorn]

Left

[sudden prism]

oh like us

[wheat merlin]

AUS - Drivers on Right Hand Side

[sudden prism]

oh wait you US

bro

[worn wolf]

Australia

[sudden prism]

when i went to my first ever trip to bermuda

i was scared for my life

[keen acorn]

Wait yeah I thought they meant side of the road. We drive on the left side, steering wheel is on the right 😂

[sudden prism]

bermuda has so many curved roads and since they drive on the right it looks like you are about to hit a car

[wheat merlin]

I experienced in The Philippines and I was nervous driving at opposite side.

[keen acorn]

I don't think I could do it 💀

[worn wolf]

I just know that if I drive on the opposite side, ill get into an accident 💀💀

[wheat merlin]

No accident occured. 🙂

[sudden prism]

HAHAHA

[wheat merlin]

Nearly...

[sudden prism]

i heard that the road tests for people who drive on the right side is harder

than the left

is that true

or is that just the UK

[worn wolf]

Maybe its country specific?

[sudden prism]

maybe

also because everyone countries traffic signs and roads are different lol

i’m so glad bermuda doesn’t let some random tourist let you drive a car there because if that happened someone will be dead in 5 seconds

[worn wolf]

Cause here in canada you don't just drive a vehicle and automatically get a license. Theres the theory stage where you gotta pass a multiple choice test to get a learning permit. A year later, you gotta take a road test to be allowed to drive by yourself. Then a year after that, you gotta pass another road test, only this time on the highway, to get your full license

[sudden prism]

their strict rule is that you can’t drive the car if you don’t live in the UK or any british territory

i know some countries let you if they are on the opposite side but thank god for bermuda

[wheat merlin]

There are some bad drivers in Australia. Mostly VISA truck drivers unexperienced got stuck to do a very sharp turn in detour.

[sudden prism]

some states in the US don’t have permits

i have a permit

i am glad i do

[sudden prism]

trucks scare the hell out of me

as soon as i see a truck im like “NOT TODAY”

[worn wolf]

Well, if theres one thing I know about the UK is that they have incredibly narrow streets, so driving there is much harder than other places. Thats probably why theres a law like that

[sudden prism]

yeah cause someone will die

but dude it’s so expensive though

you have to get a taxi

also bermuda isn’t the UK

it’s a british territory

[wheat merlin]

Yep.. I've seen AUS Dash Cam disasters. One truck failed to look blind spot.

[worn wolf]

Are busses not an option???

[sudden prism]

i am shocked that bermuda has the same currency as US dollars

[sudden prism]

i think you have to pay

every time

and it’s very expensive

[worn wolf]

Yeah, but much cheaper than a taxi??

[sudden prism]

also because like everything is so far from each other

so it would take forever

to get to one area to another

[worn wolf]

Yeah, so?

[sudden prism]

yeah and it’s very expensive there

their buses are like small

[worn wolf]

You pay for taxis for the convenience, not because its your onlh option

[sudden prism]

it’s very expensive to go on a bus

[wheat merlin]

How much to take a bus?

[worn wolf]

Well, i can tell you its WAY cheaper than a taxi

[sudden prism]

idk

[worn wolf]

Anywhere in the world

[sudden prism]

also it’s very hot there

[worn wolf]

If you dont know, then ehy are you saying its very expensive 😭

[sudden prism]

too much body heat

buses are nasty too

i would rather be in a car rather than a bus

[wheat merlin]

LoL you're not wrong.. About the smell. xD

[worn wolf]

Then keep paying for a taxi and stop complaining 🤷🏼‍♀️

[sudden prism]

also the roads are so curvy in bermuda and buses are so heavy when wrong move and it’s oved

[sudden prism]

no

some people just don’t like the bus lol

it’s sometimes not an option

[worn wolf]

Buses are always an option 💀

[sudden prism]

for someone like me who hates germs i would more likely like to be in a taxi and it’s not my choice

[wheat merlin]

Full fare $5.50 $11.00
Concession $2.75 $5.50

^^ That's for taking a Bus, Train and Tram in Victoria State ^^

[sudden prism]

it’s what i feel comfortable with

where is victoria state

[wheat merlin]

2 hours / Daily

[wheat merlin]

Australia

[sudden prism]

2 hours?

i thought you lived in the UK

[wheat merlin]

It's like one way

[worn wolf]

....it is your choice. You chose to pay for a taxi instead of taking the bus

[sudden prism]

but i don’t like being in a whole vehicle with people all the time

[wheat merlin]

LoL Uber or Grab

[sudden prism]

some people just can’t mentally be in a bus even if they want to

sometimes you don’t

like a disney bus i can definitely ride

[worn wolf]

Right? Why would I pay $20 for Uber if a bus will get me there for $4 😭

[sudden prism]

even though it’s crowded

uber?

also the bus doesn’t come to my resort

[wheat merlin]

Incase of Emergency..

[sudden prism]

i don’t think there’s buses for resorts in bermuda

you have to have a taxi

[wheat merlin]

Welp, how I travelled from Home to Airport

Train > Bus > Train > Bus

[worn wolf]

Well obviously. But im pretty sure you dont go to a Bermuda resort cause you have an emergency 💀💀

[sudden prism]

there’s staff who are out there waiting for people to check in or out and you ask for a taxi if you are leaving

and they call a taxi

[worn wolf]

Well, airports are different cause theres a lot of luggage, so we usually just pay for a taxi 🤣

But when ive been in japan, we toured around by hauling suitcases on the bus

[sudden prism]

YOU HAVE BEEN TO JAPAN?

if i was in japan i would be a celebrity since im black

[keen acorn]

Public transport prices from the airport in Aus are diabolical, like at that point just get an Uber 😭

[worn wolf]

Ive been to a whole lot of countries

[keen acorn]

Most foreigners are like celebrities haha, especially outside cities

[worn wolf]

Im an experienced traveller 🤣

[sudden prism]

lol

i would be ready to do some karate chops if someone tocuhes me

[worn wolf]

Fr. When i was in a small village in the thai countryside, I was a local celebrity and everybody wanted to get to know me cause im white 😭

[wheat merlin]

Welp... I was planning to take an Uber. Welp I should've.... Maybe next time I travel again to the Airport not to waste time again like what happened last July railway replacement project.

[worn wolf]

And a white woman at that. Usually the only white people you see there are male passport bros 💀💀💀

[sudden prism]

if you were in the UK and transferred pounds into USD you would probably be rich

i searched it up and 1000 australian money is $655.41 in USD

i was first surprised to see when like literally like 1000 yen is normal in japan

[worn wolf]

And its funny cause when I saw another white guy during the songkran (thai new year) nobody cared about him but insisted on coming up to me to talk 🤣🤣🤣

[sudden prism]

i always think it’s 1000 bucks

like how much do yall even get paid

$15 an hour?

like i feel like the currency is a bit too high

[keen acorn]

It's kinda sweet, reminds me of how I viewed Americans as a child 'cause I only ever saw them on TV 😂

[worn wolf]

1000 yen is like $10

[keen acorn]

Australian dollars tyvm (aka AUD). We use dollars, same as US and Canada but different exchange rate

[sudden prism]

i know

but that’s a lot in japan

[wheat merlin]

$1.00 AUD - 37PHP in The Philippines

[worn wolf]

Yeah, thats because the avarage rent is $500

[wheat merlin]

Week or month?

[worn wolf]

Month

Rent is cheap, but so are the salaries

[sudden prism]

you gonna be rich in the philippines

[keen acorn]

At McDonalds as a 14 year old maybe. No the minimum wage is $24.95/hr for adults

[wheat merlin]

Rich in The Philippines... Na? I nearly got broke when my relatives kept inviting me to Jollibee and I had to pay their bill! xD

[wheat merlin]

My mum inspected the apartment last 2 weeks and found one. Tenant rented a place $400.00 per WEEK!

That's like $800 per month!

[keen acorn]

Yeah you can't really move to another country and magically become rich, doesn't work that way unless you got a lot of cash saved up.
Eventually the money runs out and you are on the nation's average salary

[worn wolf]

I mean, youre saying it like a big number when its considered Hella cheap for my area 🙈

[wheat merlin]

Yep as AUS citizen and return money.. Knock Knock from Austrlian Tax Office..

[keen acorn]

$400 per week for a month is $1600 lmaoo

[sudden prism]

adults?

[worn wolf]

And its still considered Hella cheap for my area 😭

[wheat merlin]

Sorry... Mis calculated.. xD

[keen acorn]

$500 AUD a week in rent is cheap nowadays 😭

[sudden prism]

here in the US we can get paid as much as adults

[worn wolf]

Basements go for $1500 a month

Apartment rent starts at $2100

[keen acorn]

I mentioned how much for adults. It's less for minors. You start out bare minimum at 14, increases at 16, then adult minimum at 18

[wheat merlin]

However, I bought the apartment. I'm not renting...

[sudden prism]

sometimes i want to leave the US but realize that kids in like china and maybe japan, they are forced to do school and then they have afterschool school as well

and i’ve seen so many videos

and i’m like

[wheat merlin]

I'm only paying $1,670 per month on Mortgage.

[sudden prism]

i need to be more grateful

[keen acorn]

Damn when did you buy

[wheat merlin]

Waiting for interest rate to drop... Uhhh..

[worn wolf]

1670 is a steal 😭

[wheat merlin]

3 years ago.

[sudden prism]

mortgage is not really that

[worn wolf]

Tf u complaining about 😭😭😭

[wheat merlin]

LoL I was paying $1,770

[worn wolf]

Mortgage here starts at $2400 😭😭😭

[sudden prism]

what mortgage are yall paying

[sudden prism]

no it does not

[keen acorn]

Yeah Ig it depends how long you wanna stretch out the repayment for

[sudden prism]

not everywhere

[worn wolf]

For the crappiest studio apartment you've ever seen

[sudden prism]

where i live it’s like $1700

i ain’t ever renting

[wheat merlin]

Mine is variable, not lock in rate.

[keen acorn]

They did say "here" not everywhere, just where they live 😂

[worn wolf]

Yes anywhere when you live in one of the biggest cities in north america 💀💀💀

[sudden prism]

that’s new york city brother

[worn wolf]

I said one of, I didnt say 'the'

[wheat merlin]

And yes $1,670 is a steal. Thanks to interest rate!

[sudden prism]

every city is very expensive to live in

[sudden prism]

lol

[keen acorn]

Very lucky fr

[sudden prism]

are there spiders in australia

how big are they

[worn wolf]

Toronto is the most expensive city in Canada

[sudden prism]

do you hide in your room everyday

[keen acorn]

Ofc there are, do you not have spiders??

[worn wolf]

Minimum livable salary here is 100k a year. Most people only make 40k

[sudden prism]

but australia has gigantic ones

HORRIFYING ONES

[wheat merlin]

Daddy Long Legs

Red Backs

[keen acorn]

Do you wanna know where the biggest spider in the world is? Take a guess

[sudden prism]

and they have kangaroos that actually throw hands at yo

[worn wolf]

Probably hunstmen

But theyre also harmless

[keen acorn]

Incorrect

[wheat merlin]

Yeah, watch out of muscle ones.. xD

[sudden prism]

harmless or not i’m burning my house down if one leg steps into my house

[keen acorn]

The largest spider in the world is a tarantula native to South America! It's called the Goliath Birdeater

[worn wolf]

I refuse to believe there are bigger spiders. No thank you 💀

[sudden prism]

I SEEN THOS

LIKE DO THEY RANDOMLY COME TO YOUR HOUSE

LIKE BRO

I WOULD HAVE MOVED ALREADY IF I SAW ONE

or maybe

i could fight one

[wheat merlin]

There's a biggest spider in Australia.

[sudden prism]

maybe i could beat one in a fight

[wheat merlin]

Heteropoda Maxima.

[sudden prism]

what the hell is that

heterozygous maximum

that’s what i read

[worn wolf]

Thats a phylogenic classification bruh 😭

[sudden prism]

do australians fight the red kangaroos

[wheat merlin]

Heteropodamaxima

[worn wolf]

Its like me calling my orange manace a feline cattus 😭

[sudden prism]

now why are you combining it

[worn wolf]

Just say giant huntsmen spider like a normal person 😭

[keen acorn]

Touche. The Heteropoda is technically bigger but the goliath is heavier and generally considered #1

[scarlet hearth]

-# I shouldn't search birdeater in the GIF, that's terrifying

[wheat merlin]

Yeah some fight being an idiot.. xD

[sudden prism]

girl that just looks like a big jumping spider

[keen acorn]

I just find it funny when Americans get all scared of Australia's spiders only to realise the biggest is on their continent

[worn wolf]

I once ate a kangaroo 🤔

My mom's friend brought kangaroo jerkey from Australia 🤣

[keen acorn]

Yeah we do that sometimes

And ride them ofc

[worn wolf]

I also had a whale in japan and arctic seal 🤣

[sudden prism]

there has been turkey running around my city

they can’t wait to be eaten

they are like “end me now i can’t live like this anymore”

[worn wolf]

I got turkeys in my backyard and my parents have a hunting license 🤣

Wild turkeys

early thanksgiving

my thanksgiving dinner is RUNNING AWAY!

[wheat merlin]

Gobble Gobble Gobble...

[worn wolf]

Late Thanksgiving, already passed in canada

It was like 2 weeks ago

[sudden prism]

you got more terrifying animals in your country

i didn’t know. panda s were actually mean

[wheat merlin]

Bunyip

[sudden prism]

they are so cute

like otyers

otters

and they both bite

[worn wolf]

Blue ring octopus. Friend shape but defnitelh not a friend 💀

[wheat merlin]

Terrifying animal is Bunyip

[sudden prism]

girl that ain’t no animal

that’s a mythical creature

[worn wolf]

We talking about actual animals, not unicorns 💀

[sudden prism]

let’s be so fr right now

[worn wolf]

Boy

Kookazoi is a dude 🤣

[keen acorn]

Drop bear

[worn wolf]

Koalas are too smooth brained (literally) to be terrifying 💀

[wheat merlin]

Terrifying Animals in Australia
saltwater crocodile, box jellyfish, inland taipan, and Sydney funnel-web spider,

Brown Snake

[worn wolf]

Box jellyfish or Portuguese man o war?

Gotta pick one 🤣

[wheat merlin]

Magpies

[keen acorn]

Box jellyfish are pretty bad yeah

[keen acorn]

So true

Personally I think the scariest thing is the snakes in people's toilets

[wheat merlin]

Australian Paralysls Tick

[keen acorn]

I oftren wonder if today will be the day I get bitten on the behind and end up on the news

[wheat merlin]

Blue Ant ( Oh I got bit once) Bully Ants

[worn wolf]

We got zombie deer 🤣😭

[wheat merlin]

I heard in USA some infection going on...

[keen acorn]

Bindies aren't an animal but they 're found in very few places of which Australia is one and they SUCK

[worn wolf]

Theyre basically deer who get infected with a brain parasite and become so disgruntled that they just keep going. Theres a video of a half eaten deer just enjoying his day 😭

[wheat merlin]

Ahh cute Aussie Animals

[ruby nacelle]

[wheat merlin]

Quokkas!

[ruby nacelle]

My pc is having a mental breakdown

[worn wolf]

Canada too. Specifically in bc

[wheat merlin]

[worn wolf]

Your pc is having a mental breakdown 24/7 😭

[wheat merlin]

Any Symptons?

[ruby nacelle]

Let me have yours

[worn wolf]

The zombie deer? Yeah

[wheat merlin]

Yeah...

[wheat merlin]

And I pass over to yours.. xD

[worn wolf]

The goverment is monitoring it for now

[wheat merlin]

Damn...

[worn wolf]

Now if somebody went ahead and f zombie Bambi, then we'd have a problem 💀💀💀

A lot of STDs came from wild animals

[wheat merlin]

Like squirrals.

[worn wolf]

Im not sure how youd go about a squirrel 💀💀💀

Im specifically taking about the transmission to humans 🤣

[wheat merlin]

Uhh.... xD Train to Canada... xD

[ruby nacelle]

[worn wolf]

You want me* to die the most horrific death? 💀

[ruby nacelle]

And kazoo to a kangaroo

[worn wolf]

Sorry, forgot a word and it came out as a threat 😭😭😭

[wheat merlin]

Kookaburra. Not a Kangaroo. xD I want to fly away... xD

[ruby nacelle]

Fly to space

[wheat merlin]

Fly to Mars..

[ruby nacelle]

You be lonely on mars bar land

[wheat merlin]

Anyway I head to sleep now.... work on Tuesday with a lazy worker who becomes bored and doing nothing just talking.. xD

[worn wolf]

I hope musk gets to mars so he can be their problem 👐

[wheat merlin]

Bring my imaginary friend.

[ruby nacelle]

Send poki with you

[worn wolf]

[ruby nacelle]

[worn wolf]

Id rather launch you myself without a space suit

Now that was a threat 🤣🤣🤣🤣

No more planet

[sudden prism]

um what the hell did i just read

[peak stratus]

She ain't wrong per say. Some sailors where freaky

[worn wolf]

Also, this post 😭

Its funny cause a lot of disgruntled simmers who hop on other life sims have some strange requests that literally nobody else wants and are somehow super demanding about it 🫠

Ive seen it on the inzoi sub too

Like somebody asking for them to introduce the ability to make body builder women. Its definitely an obsession cause ive seen the same person post on the former lby sub 😭😭

[peak stratus]

Where's my kit packs that costs 30 dollar with almost no substance and features

[worn wolf]

"You dont have this one super specific bed from this super specific pack?! Boycott!!!"

But yeah, appearantly paralives sub in in an uproar cause they're not gonna have anything... dark

Like, youd jusg go about yohr day doing whatever until you eventually die of old age

No burglars, no weird deaths, no nothing

Just completely sterilized

[scarlet hearth]

What's their policy on CC? and their official mod platform

[worn wolf]

And appearantly not even illnesses like colds

[worn wolf]

Theyre planning to introduce mod support. Thats about it

[peak stratus]

So more cozy sims to destress (which is fine. It do be nice). But storytelling proposes or RP will be harder for folks in that case.

[worn wolf]

Yup, exactly

Which is why the community is an uproar

Cause simmers tend to.... go pretty hard 💀

But they also go super chill and cozy

A good life sim should offer both

Inzoi is doing it beautifully

[stiff hill]

[peak stratus]

✨ Dazzling✨

[worn wolf]

Now people wish paralives could too cause they completely wrote off inzoi and paralivea is the shiny new toy that they dont realize will be even worse than inzoi on release and take much longer to recover 💀

[peak stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/hiii-cat-wave-cat-wave-hi-gif-174708314057938083

[peak stratus]

I mean. I'm gonna try out Paralives when it releases for the chill vibes. But i would properly prefer to stick with inZOI since i get so captivated when playing it. I lose time..Maybe cause i'm AUADHD

[stiff hill]

same, im gonna try paralives too but the design is what loses me

[worn wolf]

Im probably also gonna get paralives after I watch some gameplay videos, but people are expecting a sims killer when 90% of their YouTube is animations showcase and some assets 💀

I still haven't seen gameplay

[peak stratus]

Same. I was intrigued by the design yearssss ago. But that was years ago and now things have changed ya know

[worn wolf]

Especially since they changed their art direction and a lot of the older videos aren't gonna be in the game

[peak stratus]

I remember the first videos they released back then. I really liked the "real" time lighting they had there. I thought huh this looks graphically better than Sims. It isn't the same feeling it gives me today.

[worn wolf]

Yeah, its obsolete now

Theyre gonna work on lighting during early access

If you look at their recent videos, youd notice that light always comes through the ceiling

Okay I will quit spamming Kerbal stuff.

[sudden prism]

i have a crush

[peak stratus]

I read it as Kebab on the moon.
Guess it's time for me to make food i guess

[pliant tree]

Heh the power of suggestion (sandwich).

[broken quiver]

Lol I think EA will be the biggest sims killer. 😬

I'm approaching inzoi and paralives as an addition to my library. I don't think there's going to be a sims replacement but I haven't played Sims in a few years cuz I'm not in the mood. Lol

[ruby heart]

Idk if imma try paralives

[worn wolf]

First of all, rude. Second of all, so freaking true 😭😭😭😭

[worn wolf]

Yeah, thats why I said once I watch some videos. Cause im expecting the absolute bare minimum and it really doesng make me wanna throw $40 away nor am I particularly excited about it like I was with inzoi, but im not completely aversed to it if I see some fun youtube gameplay 🤔

The reason im not particularly excited is that it basically looks an indie sims clone with Qol improvements

And if I want a sims clone, id just play the sims 💀

[ruby heart]

Yeah I mean kudos to them but don’t think it’s my style 🙁

I’m really enjoying inzoi so I have a new simulation game theres no need to throw another $40 right now lol

[worn wolf]

Yeah, the gameplay is too.... cozy? Like, theres only so many games about just existing in a perfect world one would wanna play 💀

Like, i used to like cozy games, but most of them dont even have gameplay?

Its literally about doing repetitive tasks with pretty graphics and cozy soundtrack

Paralives basically reminds me of thaf

Sims 4 does too, but at least there you can be as evil as you can be good (though its a crappy game that deserves to be put out of its misery). In paralives you jusg kinda have to be good and have a perfect life and thats about it

[worn wolf]

Is Albania okay? 😭

[broken quiver]

I wish it wasn't true. I was an OG Sims player. 🧓

[broken quiver]

Yeah I think the vibe will be so different

I'm ok with an indie cozy game tbh. I'm playing Rimworld right now I'm peaceful mode. I can't stop 😂

[worn wolf]

Yeah, but honestly im kinds tired of cozy games. The market is flooded with them and they're all similar 😮‍💨

[broken quiver]

Lol I like them? I think. 😅

[peak stratus]

This is quite Albanian

[broken quiver]

I also want to play a game on my steam deck. Inzoi kills it. 😆

[worn wolf]

I used to like em too but there's only so many a person can play 😮‍💨

[cunning jacinth]

I saw that. it's just a very weird way of saying "this AI is going to be around the country, but we can't make it seem like it's one AI being used by all the people bc Albania" or sth

[worn wolf]

And also, the cozy game community is suffering from an epidemic: youtubers trying to shove half baked games down your throat

Like, disney dreamlight valley is majorly hyped, despite it being a microtrasaction haven that will bankrupt with with different swatches (so sims 4 in a nutshell)

[cunning jacinth]

oh @covert niche loves Dreamlight Valley, don't do that to her xD

(she knows)

[broken quiver]

I was interested in it thinking it was free. But it's not

[worn wolf]

Whenever you see a game with pretty graphics and a free price tag, youre the product

[cunning jacinth]

if something is free, you are the product

[cunning jacinth]

HEY! xD

[worn wolf]

JINX

[broken quiver]

Then I read about the micro transactions.

[cunning jacinth]

it applies to websites, too

[broken quiver]

Lol I love LADS

[worn wolf]

And anything in general tbh

Even VPNs. Free VPNs just sell your data instead of your data being readily available 🤷🏼‍♀️

[cunning jacinth]

think about the name Mountain Chicken. now what does it look like

[broken quiver]

Lol I use a Google phone. Lol

[cunning jacinth]

you were wrong

[worn wolf]

Then you pay for your data to be sold 💀

[worn wolf]

Whoever named him should get banned 😭

[broken quiver]

I'm thinking of getting a Samsung next

[cunning jacinth]

blobfish says hello

[peak stratus]

You're saying i'm valuable? 👉 👈

[cunning jacinth]

apple is the only one preventing all the privacy issues

[worn wolf]

I got a Samsung. I have no complaints (maybe except inzoi face tracking not working with a godamn Korean phone, but i can live with that)

[cunning jacinth]

samsung has more bloatware

[worn wolf]

I mean, ive had this phone for like 3 years and I have yet to uninstall something cause I need more space 🤣🤣🤣

And boy do i have a lot of apps i binge for an evening and never touch again 💀

[cunning jacinth]

512gb?

[worn wolf]

Yeah 🤣

[cunning jacinth]

I have been taking photos and videos for a year or two and still not touched the end of my 512 iphone

[worn wolf]

I even downloaded the sims 4 mobile for the first time even vause its shutting down so they removed the store and energy. I still haven't played it 💀💀

[peak stratus]

Remember when you had a USB that could hold 10MB and you where like

Nowdays even 1TB can seem kinda short

[worn wolf]

Ive been taking quite a few pics too. This phone traveled with me to 4 different countries 🤣

[worn wolf]

Good old USB sticks

Nowadays external hard drives are better 🤣

I recently bought one that came with with 1T storage

[cunning jacinth]

worked in a store when USBs started getting bigger and SSDs started coming out. you could find a thumb drive with the capacity of an SSD for a short time

2TB external storage bc I'm not giving Xbox more money

[worn wolf]

Oh yeah, doesnt Xbox charge you to be able to access the internet?

[cunning jacinth]

they started it and got Sony into it

xbox live caused ps+

[worn wolf]

I mean, what were you expecting from an American company? 😭

[peak stratus]

Is Thumb Drive an American term for USB?

[cunning jacinth]

thumb drive, jump drive, they're interchangeable

[worn wolf]

We use USB in canada too 🤣

[cunning jacinth]

usb is the connection. thumb drive is the item xD

my wifi adapter is USB

my headset is

[worn wolf]

Eh, we just refer to the stick as USB and the connection as whichever USB it is

[cunning jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/evil-witch-laugh-evil-laugh-snow-white-bye-gif-15709261

[peak stratus]

Jump Drive???
W O W W E E. Please tell me you brought all the Flux Capacitors

[worn wolf]

So USB c, micro USB, ect

[cunning jacinth]

theyre next to the polarity reverser

[peak stratus]

That's what my dad calls me

[worn wolf]

Also, sims 4 mega fans have been way more rabid than usual 🤔

Probably salty with the whole death of the sims

Like, im seeing them defend the sims 4 even in the high sodium sub (dedicated to hating the sims) 😭😭😭

[peak stratus]

EA made Life & Death expansion quite immersive now

[worn wolf]

No, stopppppppp 😭😭😭😭

But srs, everywhere you look, even with mild criticism, youre immediately met with severe outlash? Even in the subs who are known for hating the sims? 🤨

Like I literally said the other day how content creators leaving the EA program are doing the bare minimum since theyre still gonna be generating sales for EA by continuing to play the sims on their YouTube

People didnt like that 💀💀

[cunning jacinth]

one does not speak ill of the dead unless theyre especially heinous

dying itself is a time when people are the softest to the dying

[worn wolf]

I mean.... it is the sims 4 were talking about here 😭

[cunning jacinth]

I was thinking Pol Pot, not EA xDD

Dawned money hungry fat Google trying to screw over the regular people by not letting me delete photos from my Google drive cause it automatically synced itself with my phone storage and now that my google drive storage is full, theyre telling me to either delete the photos (along with the ones on my phone) and sit through hours upon hours of lag (cause they make it laggy to make it harder on you) or pay monthly for a mere 100gb 😒

Im rage quitting and just entrusting it to my gf cause shes my tech support

You guys, youll never believe the comment I just saw 😭😭😭😭

Guess poor summer child doesnt wanna believe his favourite company is fueled by greed 😭

[peak stratus]

That comment doesn't add up. Sims is not even the highest earning of profits

EA has FIFA (which they can't name anymore) and Battlefield which are vastly more popular in scope

[sudden prism]

are you poor

[worn wolf]

Which is even more baffling cause the sims 4 onlh earned EA $1b in its lifetime. EA makes that in a year 💀

[sudden prism]

@stiff hill are you poor

[ruby heart]

I really hate to see you like this Maya. I hope all is ok

Actually what I am posting is more off topic. Imma get practice and make this outfit for ts4

for context, the monitor is 27" on its side. I actually cropped out most of the blank

[reef vine]

[frank viper]

dope

this on steam?

[reef vine]

yes

there's my cute lil guy's house XD

[frank viper]

cutee

can you expand on house or?

found the game 90 bucks tho LOL

waiting on this game tbh

[broken quiver]

I was desperate and bought the aurum pass. Lol

[broken quiver]

Ahhhhhhhhuuu noooo I'm too poor. No more diamonds

[stiff hill]

felt ngl

[broken quiver]

They look like ||kpop stars||

[stiff hill]

Most people guessed the idol au thing LOL

but also just wait till a bit further in the pv

[frank viper]

I be tryna level my cards and farm deepspace hunt etc

need them gems xDD

[broken quiver]

Lol i was thinking it was a cute dancing card.

[stiff hill]

yeah cute dancing

[broken quiver]

😆 I like the sylus one

I'll just use my free ones. Sigh. 😅

[frank viper]

yes

catching all is beneficial

[keen acorn]

I don't play the hot man game, but from one gacha player to another, good luck to all on your pulls

[lost aspen]

Idk who made this hairstyle, but you're my best friend now! Thank you! <3 This suits my zoi perfectlyyyy

[worn wolf]

Oooh, ive been meaning to play that. I heard a lot of good things 🤣

I recommend my time at sandrock. Its basically a farming sim, but instead of farming you operate machinery, go through the story line (an actually incredible story line), complete quests, romance townies, have kids and build a house. You can actually build a house from scratch in this game 🫡

Theyre coming out with their next installment probably in the spring and it looks super promising

This is gonna be my favorite thing to do 🤣🤣🤣

Also, I imagine if paralives leaned more towards this artstyle, they would have had a better reception 🤣

Its also a medium indie game

[frank viper]

I got it on wl will have to wait for a sale

[worn wolf]

Damn, my city canncelled the yearly abandoned subway Halloween rave because there was no wheelchair access, which is total bs 🙄

[frank viper]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-huh-m4rtin-huh-huh-meme-what-cat-gif-5834484041415217257

why couldn't they MAKE wheelchair access like is this not a necessity like most people think it is?

[worn wolf]

Cause its in an abandoned subway

Like, downstairs inside

So the elevators and escalators are old and dont run

[frank viper]

oh well :V

[worn wolf]

But I dont get why wheelchair access is such a priority if so many places domt have them

Like, if you cant go then dont go 🤷🏼‍♀️

[frank viper]

true

[wheat merlin]

Chatting about escalator.. xD

[frank viper]

sad that things get ruined for everyone else -_-

[worn wolf]

Yup

They said it will resume in 2026, but like, why couldnt it also happen in 2025??

[frank viper]

sorry I'd be miffed

Let everyone else have some damn fun the world is crappy as is

[ruby heart]

Oh no she didn’t

[fringe root]

paralives going to have a very active recesption with all of the big Sims 4 creators leaving

reception

im thinking that's why so many of them are finding it so easy to leave. Paralives early access starts very soon

[worn wolf]

And then its gonna crash and burn like inzoi did at release because theyre expecting a sims killer, which they arent gonna be getting

Like, people just dont know how to keep their expectations in check

[fringe root]

i wouldnt say inzoi crashed and burned lol it had a slower period for sure but got busy again after mac release and we still have console release coming

[worn wolf]

Im not saying it because I believe it, im saying it cause thats what everybody is going on about 🤣

[fringe root]

if lilsimsie is going to be promoting paralives instead of sims 4 they already have someone keeping people in the game

[worn wolf]

Yeah, and its gonna be bad for paralivea

[fringe root]

oh yeah fs, the people who have something against inzoi for no reason are def saying that haha

[worn wolf]

Alex himself said the game is very incomplete and is more of a late alpha/early beta

[wheat merlin]

Naa... The Sims 4 i pick up random crashes on my PC Hard Rock!

[worn wolf]

Even their lighting system is incomplete

Basically, theres gonna be a huge uproar

[fringe root]

paralives looks nice but honestly after inzoi dropped i couldn't even get myself to play sims anymore so

i don't expect to put too many hours into it

[worn wolf]

I still go back to the sims cause inzou doesnt have my playstyle yet. Once they do though, im hopping so fast 💀

But tbf, ive only played for like 3 days in the last 6 months or so 🤣

[fringe root]

i don't have anything against ai so inzoi is perfect for me. it's so realistic, the lighting is so good. i will have a hard time getting into any other life sims after inzoi

[worn wolf]

I got a lot against AI, but since its a "vegan" ai, ive been okay with it 😅

[wheat merlin]

I build TS4 in Blender.. Welp making short films. I fed up TS4 camera control.

[worn wolf]

Like, its onlh trained on legally aquired data

[fringe root]

yeah i totally get that it def needs more gameplay depth but they are working on it all the time which is another thing the sims lacked they didn't care about player feedback at all 😂

[worn wolf]

And now that theyre aboit to get buried they suddenly care oh so much 😭

But yeah, inzoi progress has defnitely been nice

[wheat merlin]

AI in inZOI is still broken when generating image. Also AI Animation made my ZOI dislocated.

[worn wolf]

I wonder how the game is gonna look after the march update, cause its gonna be marking their 1 year anniversary

[frank viper]

I only hate AI when its used for art or writing but for games its fine

[fringe root]

wow that's goiing to be here so soon too

[worn wolf]

Yeah, honestly, I dont use ai in general and just make my own seamless textures or get them off the web 🤣

[wheat merlin]

True..

[worn wolf]

And neither of them even generate something good 🤣

[wheat merlin]

Anyway Ill soon retire Adobe because i aint paying $100 per month.

[fringe root]

im an artist and i still use ai for certain accounts. it's a lot more work than people realize espescially if you're not using a paid program. if you're really good with writing / being descriptive / imagination you can create some really incredible worlds. but i don't like ai when it's used for fake news / scary videos etc

[frank viper]

I just see art communities ruined by AI is all but as I said in game its fine not the art part

[wheat merlin]

*Because of AI price increase!

[worn wolf]

Same. Everywhere I look its all ai slop

[frank viper]

deviantart has alot of AI now

[worn wolf]

Did you know they even trained their own ai on art that was posted there?

Anyway, people weren't too happy and they recinded, but a lot of people still left

[frank viper]

I wouldn't be either tbh

[worn wolf]

Yup

If u wanna use my art to train a multi billion dollar engine, you better freaking pay me

[frank viper]

this

[worn wolf]

And no ai is ever original. Its almost aways an excat copy

[frank viper]

from what I seen yes I would agree

[worn wolf]

Like, you knkw that stinky ai "actress" that's making rounds? Appearanrly shes almost an exact copy of this indie music artist, so there are lawsuits going on rn

[fringe root]

it's a touchy topic but, as a human with a brain, i have to see certain art to learn certain styles. So wouldn't an ai program also need to see art to be able to understand prompts like 'storybook realism, golden hour lighting' etc etc? It only steals art if the prompter makes it do that, and that's the part that is really cruddy since you can generate images based off of not just prompts but uploaded photos etv

[frank viper]

I haven't heard of her? I tend to be oblivious until someone tells me

[fringe root]

that's scary

[worn wolf]

Thats the thing. You dont use AI befause you're artistic, you use it because youre lazy. People feed art they stole into ai and then turn it into an almost exact copy with some variations of stuff that already exist. Ai is incapable of being original like an artist could. Its onlh capable of a collage, which is still theft

Like, if I were to draw a fruit that combines 3 different fruits into 1, I could do that easily. AI cant cause no such thing exists

[fringe root]

I don't agree actually, since I can paint and also sketch and I am definitely not lazy but I totally understand why you would think that

[worn wolf]

But does ai give you the same satisfaction? Does it move you? Do you feel accomplished using it? Cause I dont

Literally the whole purpose of ai is to be lazy

[fringe root]

oh absolutey and it's a ton of work

it's an incredible artistic outlet that has helped inspire so many of my other works

sometimes being able to see an idea come to life in other ways before you make it yourself can be helpful. but all brains work differently. i also run several businesses and i wouldn't be able to do that as well without help like chatgpt. i can also ask it anything and get the answer instead of fishing through google.

[worn wolf]

Ive used ai before. Writing a paragraph and clicking generate over and over isnt a ton of work 💀

Also, asking it anythubg is also risky cause it can also throw wrong info at you

There have been a lot of cases where people ate paint, unalived themselves and lost a bunch of money cause ai told them to

[fringe root]

that's a paid program that's completely different lol

i use my own gpu. you have to learn how to set things like fps, seed, frame rate

takes hours to generate just one photo

[worn wolf]

And that "paid program" still stole a lot of artist's hard work without any compensation to them

Meanwhile, the company behind it make hundreds of billions

[fringe root]

paying $50 to write a sentence where the program is trained to add more details and movements for you is completely different as i had mentioned above with paid programs

[worn wolf]

Like, why do we keep defending multi billion dollar companies that screw people over?

[fringe root]

well fortunately i have common sense

[fringe root]

is that what you think im doing? because i acutally said at least 3 times now that i don't support those services lmao

[worn wolf]

Then why do u keep insisting its a lot of work? 💀

Cause it really isnt

[fringe root]

you also said you're against it and that you've used it in the same breath so im confused

what im describing is a ton of work

you are talking about something completely different lol

[worn wolf]

Yes, ive used it when it first started appearing, more info about it started coming out, and then I decided on my stance

[fringe root]

cool, i don't pay for ai like you're describing though, i use my own gpu and settings like i said several times lol

[worn wolf]

Again, typing a paragraph isnt a ton of work. A ton of work would be training for 10 years and then working on a piece for 16 hours straight. That would be a ton of work

[fringe root]

working on a piece for 16 hours straight is super fun and i do that also 🙂

and as fun as that is, there's also other ways to utilize those skills to make even more money so you don't have to be a starving artist in 2025 lol

it's also not just writing a paragraph since it's not a paid program but i get why you feel that way.

[worn wolf]

And if you do the responsible thing and actually let people know that what theyre buying is ai, youll see the sales plummet

[fringe root]

im insisting that what i use is a ton of work, not the general public. even the big youtube channels usually use a paid program. not many people know how to use their own gpu.

i don't currently sell anything ai but i would also have to disagree. almost every soothing youtube channel is ai. they get millions of views and people don't care.

those fireplace channels? ai

relaxing ocean waves? ai

and the sounds are usually ai generated.

they make thousands of dollars a month.

[worn wolf]

Consuming free content is one thing, but actually paying for it only to find out later its ai is another

[fringe root]

i dont know where that happens. even etsy makes you check of ai generated if its ai.

[worn wolf]

Like, imagine you bought a book and by paragraph 2, you realize its ai and the rest of the story is complete mambo jumbo?

And also art shows

Theres been multiple cases of people trying to sell AI prints even though its very strictly against the rules

I saw a post just today

[fringe root]

totally agree that using it for something like that is weird. if you can type a prompt you can type a book. but those romance novels that you do love? the covers are ai.

oh i believe you. and those books will get bad ratings fast fortunately.

[worn wolf]

And also the clip studio paint international illustration contest. Half of the entires got disqualified cause they were ai generated

[worn wolf]

I have yet to see a legit, reputable book with an ai cover

[fringe root]

but what if it's a disabled person trying to tell their story and ai was the best affordable option for them? you see how there's a lot of different scenerios. unfortunately it just comes down to the people using it and unfortunately there are a lot of people using it who shouldn't be.

[fringe root]

that's bc when ai is done right without a paid ai program you don't see 6 fingers lol you just don't realized they are ai

and the author buying it probably doesnt either tbj

tbh

[worn wolf]

Im a disabled person with a physical disability. Still don't need a stinky ai. What i do need is something to do my dishes and fold my clothes, not a stinky tool that polluts ny feed

[worn wolf]

Trust me, I haven't seen 6 fingers in ages and can still immediately tell when something is ai 💀

[fringe root]

well ai is ai. it's artificial intelligence lol. so a robot doing your dishes would be ai.

[worn wolf]

Gen Ai is not artificial intelligence, its a glorified search engine

Also, ai has existed for decades in games

[fringe root]

yup

[worn wolf]

We're specifically talking about gen ai though

[fringe root]

sims is a perfect example of ai

but all the sims die hards hate inzoi for ai 😂

[worn wolf]

The ai in the sims isnt the same as the ai in inzoi though

At least the gen ai

The ai of the gameplay itself is the same technology, yeah

But when people talk about ai, they specifically talk about generative ai, not making virtual characters perform a task

[peak stratus]

Idk about that. I seen people rage about LLM being used in-game for SmartZOI. It's quite something

[worn wolf]

Llm is generative ai though

I dont really mind llm cause its mostly trained on free resources, but it does pose a problem with the enviroment 😅

[dull egret]

I see so much of this and don't get why people are so against it? I love the new possibilities that AI is opening up for simulation games. There are a lot of areas where I think using AI is questionable, but game development seems like a perfect use for it tbh

[worn wolf]

Nuh, for sure, ai can be very useful in gaming, but i dont really see place for it outside of gaming

[shy marten]

Bandwagon opinions. People want to seem like they're doing the right thing. They say AI is taking jobs but still send texts instead of mailing letters.

[dull egret]

Yeah I saw something comparing AI to the agricultural revolution. Society is going to continue to advance, which will always shift the way we approach the workforce. AI is a really helpful tool honestly, for lots of different things, but I do agree it is currently being abused in some areas. It's gonna be a trial and error process

[cunning jacinth]

the AI bubble is the new dot-com bubble and it's gonna pop so hard it'll hurt people

[scarlet hearth]

-# Sorry~ but do these looks like factory pressed discs to the trained individuals? same film from the same distributor but somehow the discs are different from sellers

[radiant swan]

I would need different angles of the first one cause I’m not sure looks good enough to pass as one It appears very reflective and silver across the surface, with a visible alphanumeric marking the center so it could be

The secound one is reflective but the ring looks a little different and the distinctive marking are harder to see from the image if there is some form of code etched into the clear silver or black part in the middle then that could suggest it’s pressed but it’s hard to tell from my perspective

First photo has a strong possibility of being pressed

[scarlet hearth]

-# Somebody snatched the first one, thank you so much for your time and expertise. The second one also have a missing letter, Burn instead of Burnt

[cunning jacinth]

civ 7 made the shocking and novel concept that no one has ever seen before: the ability to play as one civ throughout the game
obv /j is obv

[limber yoke]

Bf6 battle Royale is actually kinda good

[latent valley]

i hear such different things but its a whole "cod vs battlefield" warzone ( 🥴 ) per usual

warzone was the first battle royale game i actually enjoy since pubg (which i haven't played for 7 years)

[limber yoke]

😂yeah 2016 all over again

[latent valley]

downloading redsec as we speak

[limber yoke]

The map is actually kind of gorgeous

I hope it's added into conquest

[latent valley]

i talked to my boyfriend just a few minutes ago and he talked about it

compared to warzone, i do like the idea of roles (medic etc)

so we'll see

[radiant swan]

I gotta try it but if it’s just battlefield 6 gameplay but in a battle royal style then I don’t see it not doing well so I’m glad it’s good

[cunning jacinth]

17 or so days to anno 117

wooo

[limber yoke]

Well its got destruction, vehicles are pretty limited since to get the tank its locked inside a container which requires quite a bit of time to obtain the key and open it

[cunning jacinth]

they are apparently focused more on the war aspect vs 1800, so I'm sat

[limber yoke]

Engineer is goated, rocket launcher 1 hit kills 😂

[radiant swan]

Lmk how it is

[limber yoke]

Also the repair torch is used to break open safes

[cunning jacinth]

I promised to, didn't I? =]

[radiant swan]

That’s good limits the amount of people that can abuse it
