Latest one literally had a warning from the FDA

[median vigil]

tell her stay away from tiktok hacks

cause death is calling

[worn wolf]

Told her 💀

[median vigil]

the grim reaper is waiting 😄

[worn wolf]

Also told her to ALWAYS double check

Cause a random nimrod with a camera is not a good advice

[ruby heart]

Ughhh I got heartburn from a chocolate chip cookie

[median vigil]

ive seen some people do some tiktok challenges and its a wonder they are still alive because not two brain cells to rub together

but its amusing watching

it wont be amusing if something serious happens

[ruby heart]

Lmao

I can’t with tik tok challenges

Nope dumb kids

Then they wonder why it may get banned…

[median vigil]

it wont get banned they want these kids to end it all or they would of banned them along time ago

its very dark situation

[ruby heart]

Dannngggg

[median vigil]

tiktok wouldnt like to be without the money from these kids

doing stupid stuff

they make bank off it

[ruby heart]

Dumb them kids down

[median vigil]

its very dark situation...

its the same dark situation...

ea gets from robbing kids on packs...

for sims 4

its all preditory...

[ruby heart]

Imagine all that money I could have saved

From ts4 packs lmao sad but true

[median vigil]

its a preditory practise....

like microtransactions in games

the dark side of the internet...

getting kids hooked of the crazy cartoon sims and sell them dlc packs

it was preditory when i was young too with sims 1 and all the expansions

on the disc

but it wasnt as bad...

it still was preditory though...

because all them discs that came out was a fortune lol

and the expansions kept coming

at my tender age... back then because i was still in school when sims 1 came out just a kid begging for the next sims disc

[high cobalt]

All lot of games have microstractions though.Take league of legends there was a jinx skin that was 200.00 dollars

I am not kidding 200.00 dollars for a skin

[median vigil]

yeh some are not as bad as others some games its just cosmetics..

but loot boxes is something else

and spin to win

and the little sims packs of nothing in them...

[high cobalt]

You mean the kits?

[median vigil]

yeh nothing in them much

i didnt enjoy spending on sims 4 but then i was doing it for years until i stopped

[high cobalt]

You should only buy games you enjoy

[median vigil]

i had my granmother buy me the sims discs because at time my mother wouldnt

but that was when maxis owned it

and not ea .....

[median vigil]

yeh i do buy games i enjoy but after years of sims i had enough of that im not paying sims until i die 💀

when i dont enjoy the game nomore

it got so buggy

and not fixed

[high cobalt]

@median vigil Thats my point I am saying it good you stop

[median vigil]

i think everyone should stop with sims 4 but thats just my opnion

i think they need to realise....

that the people have power..

and vote with wallet...

i watched sims go down hill for years...

and i still kept playing through it all..

until i finally said no more....

but sure everyone has to come to that point...

[high cobalt]

I personally enjoy the game.I dont feel ripped off.I have 2000 hours of playtime.But Thats how I feel.I feel like people should play or not play what they want.

[median vigil]

at their own pace...

[worn wolf]

Oke, got the bubble tea

Gf also got me donuts 🤣🤣

[median vigil]

you havent played enough years of it 😄

to get fed up

[worn wolf]

Yeah, sims 4 is literally a scam

I came from the Sims 3 era and literally got slapped in the face

[high cobalt]

@worn wolf Ooh buble tea what's your favorite

[median vigil]

2000 hours is not even a year...

altogether

[worn wolf]

Passion fruit green tea with leechy popping boba and passinfruit jelly

[median vigil]

thats like youve barely touched it to me 😄

[high cobalt]

@worn wolf I play the sims 3 before four.

[median vigil]

play for the next 15 to 20 years and get back to me 😄

[worn wolf]

Fr, I got like 25k in sims 3 🤣

[median vigil]

thats not even scratching the surface of all the sims games 😄

[high cobalt]

@median vigil I dont appreciate what your implying

[worn wolf]

Amd you didnt feel scammed paying for cats and dogs ajd THEN having to pay for hamsters immediately after? 💀

[median vigil]

you dont like me telling you you havent played enough i know you dont but im telling you anyway

[worn wolf]

Or having to shell out momey jsut so your virtual characters can do laundry?

[median vigil]

you havent even played a year of sims altogether..

[high cobalt]

@worn wolf Community vote

[worn wolf]

I know it was a community vote, but it shouldn't have been a whole pack and should have came with base game

[high cobalt]

@worn wolf No polka I didnt.I didnt buy that pack until I want it too

[median vigil]

i feel like inzoi has given us more things then the start of sims 4

you know there was no toddlers at the start of sims 4

its true i was there 😄

[high cobalt]

@worn wolf It was stuff packs that was vote.People vote for launduary

[worn wolf]

Or the fact the locked changing tables behind a paywall 😭

[median vigil]

they did gatekeep alot of stuff over the years

[worn wolf]

Or the sorry state of the toddoer kit that sent the community into an uproar

[median vigil]

dont get me wrong i spent nearly my whole life playing the sims

so i can be as critical as i want in my mind

[high cobalt]

@worn wolf Same with sims 3? I mean a changing table was a store set

[worn wolf]

They paywalled the ability to fart on command bruh 😭

[worn wolf]

I think you meant sims 3 cause I am talking about 4

[median vigil]

when people tell me about things thats happening in the sims now...i just believe them...

because i saw it go downhill

[worn wolf]

The difference is that they didnt make sims 3 toddlers and babies leave messy diaper piles to force you to shell out for a changing table

[high cobalt]

@worn wolf You mean sims 3 also had changing tables on store sets

[median vigil]

dont get me wrong sims will always have a place in my heart

but im not glossing over all the bad parts

im not putting on them rose tinted glasses

[worn wolf]

Same

But sims 4 players seem to get offended when you call out their game for the blatant theft 🤷🏼‍♀️

[median vigil]

what i say about sims comes from a place of love

and concern for the franchise...

and the upsetment of seeing the franchise go down hill

over the years

but i suppose if you are new to the game

then you never really saw the changes

not all of them from 1 to 4

and the changing of MAXIS TO EA

[median vigil]

i know well some people think they are die hard fans but havent played all the series

for me over the years...

the custom content made the game

it wasnt always like that...

you could play the sims without the custom content

but not now..

without the custom content i dont think the game would of been running this long

i really think the series would of ended years ago..

the modders kept sims alive to me...

and did what they could to fix a broken game...

one that has been broken along time

but yeh it will never not be nostalgic to me putting that disc into the computer for the first time

and entering the serial numbers of the expansions in 😄

ill never forget the special moments..

[high cobalt]

I said I did feel rip off or scam

Not

I mean

[median vigil]

well thats up to you im just recalling my experience everyone has their own

im just reminising...

[worn wolf]

Yeah, like the sims 3 base game is enjoyable by itself, the sims 4 is NOT

And it cost twice as much as sims 3 on release

[median vigil]

im sat here thinking about the very first time i played sims 1

on my 1080p monitor

and thinking how beautiful and crisp everything was😂

and now im thinking i go blind if i look at anything whats not 4k 😄

cause my eye sight must be fricking bad

i can tell when frame gen is bad in some games..

i can tell when dlss is too blurry

[median vigil]

i remember a time before custom content and then i remember with custom content and i much prefered it when custom content came out

it was like magic all what people could do

and it still is 😄

and ive enjoyed my sims mods over the years but updating them all was another story 😄

yeh that bit i didnt like having to look for the update of every single mod you have

but some sites made it easy to update

by keeping the mod all in one thread on a forum

[median vigil]

at the time i got sims 3 my pc was struggling 😄 with that open world

dont think i had a good pc for alot of the sims franchise

[worn wolf]

Donut balls

[median vigil]

them look like they are gonna give me diabetes

if i look at them wrong

[cunning jacinth]

I would welcome the diabetes for those

[median vigil]

im trying to live out my days as long as possible 😄

but my diet wont let me

i love too much crap sugar sugar salt salt

[worn wolf]

I only allow myself things like this sometimes 🤣

I usually eat healthy

[median vigil]

im past the point of giving a fk im having it whenever i want 😄

[median vigil]

i use to do that like 20 odd year ago

[worn wolf]

If i eat too much I wont fit through the door 💀

[median vigil]

but now its whatever

[median vigil]

i use to care but now i dont

[worn wolf]

Obesity runs in my family but nobody is obese cause we all starve ourselves 💀💀

[median vigil]

i dont want to get to 50 or 60 and think to myself i didnt eat the things i enjoyed...

fk my life lmao

so yeh i pretty much eat what i want when i want now and fk it 😄

[worn wolf]

Like, my mom cut out all carbs, has a private trainer come over several times a week, and still takes Ozempic 💀

[median vigil]

i spent so long worrying about fitness...

and it was making me older just thinking on it...

[high cobalt]

@median vigil Well,it felt like you were downing my opinion and experince.

[median vigil]

im not gonna argue with you i just told you my experience and accepted that yours is different already

can we build a bridge and cross it please😖

[cunning jacinth]

don't make me drop a rule 1 on yall xD

[worn wolf]

Welp, I ate 3 of the balls, full now 🤣

[median vigil]

please tell this person to stop bringing up points we moved across twice thank you...

[ruby heart]

My sister got in another car accident swear she can’t drive

Why does she drive o.O

Why did they allow her to drive

[high cobalt]

@ruby heart Is she okay?

[ruby heart]

Thanks she’s ok she just thinks she’s above the law because she works with the cops

[pliant tree]

God .. my neighbor has a little dog, Chihuahua or something.
Anyhow he kept jumping over a low gate they set up and could not figure out how to get back.
No big deal, cept the little dog would sit there and yowl ! Not any old yowl.. it sounds EXATCLY like a cat!
First time I heard it "OMG Floof is trapped or injured!!!!"
Went over to the neighbors to investigate and there like .. oh yea thats our dog. He sounds like a cat !
😄

I mean it sounded exactly like a cat!

Floof

[ruby heart]

Awwwww he’s so cute!!

[pliant tree]

Heh Im watchin tomb raider 😄

[ruby heart]

Ma gammeeee

[pliant tree]

Nah movie "Cradle of life"

Huh Netflix wont let you take a screen shot!!

Take the SS and its just black.

[ruby heart]

Yeah….

They know

[pliant tree]

Id just take a snap with my phone.. too much hassle.

Haha she just punched a shark in the nose then took it for a ride! LMAO!!

[ruby heart]

I hate psychiatrist

I’ll never find a good doctor. They always say I need a higher level of care when I take my meds and don’t do anything bad

It’s getting disappointing and feel like it’s not even worth it to take meds or get therapy

[reef vine]

i found tamaweb and made a baby rupert on it 🤣

when he gets bigger he will literally look like rupert because i modded it!

[scarlet hearth]

🤔 Reminds me of a egg game or something when I was younger, like an egg-shaped handheld

[reef vine]

yup, its a tamagotchi fan game!

https://tamawebgame.github.io/

[scarlet hearth]

It is?! 🤣 omg

[reef vine]

yup!

i found it on a fluke lmao

its very cute and moddable

this and new day are such hidden gems i found recently

[reef vine]

rupertgotchi got bigger XD

i used a few pokemon trainer sprites to make him >:3

[scarlet hearth]

🤔 I wonder... did you ever put him in action games?

[reef vine]

skyrim 🤣

but i hardly played his save much

[scarlet hearth]

😗 I knew I saw Rupert's hair somewhere before

[reef vine]

lmao, that guy is not nearly as hot

[wheat merlin]

ChatGPT is so powerful! It found my childhood cartoon series!

It just popped in my mind and couldn't picture the title if I described the episode I remembered. 😅

[radiant swan]

LLM’s are quite impressive although they are not truly Ai tbh are a tool and quite useful if used right

[fossil meadow]

it's the time of year where 4pm is nighttime

[ruby heart]

I am going in late again I am so burnt out because my coworkers don’t pull their weight. I’m pretending I pulled a muscle and cant toilet people today

If they can sit there and flirt with each other all day and do administrative tasks I can do that too

[wheat merlin]

True... very useful. Welp, at least I can finally watch 50 episodes. I remember I played one VHS only played two episodes when I was very young.

Well, I'm too old to watch, but it can't hurt to warch, at least it brings up great memories. It's 1970s anime.

[ruby heart]

I don’t feel really bad for reporting my coworkers

I can’t do their work anymore

It’s too much

[high cobalt]

@ruby heart Your not suppose to do thier work

[ruby heart]

Yeah it’s too much

They just sit on the laptop ignoring all the clients

No wonder I’m burnt out

[buoyant osprey]

Hey 😊

[high cobalt]

Hi

[wheat merlin]

@ruby heart I have one worker always whinges a lot... She can't handle the pressure. Also she nearly missed one websale, a single miss buggers up KPI in a week.

When there's no work, she just leans and watches her phone any time when my co worker and I work out our guts unboxing the goods.

[edgy oracle]

hello kookazoi

[wheat merlin]

HI there Hurricane.

How ya doing? 🙂

[wheat merlin]

Sneaked in my project to re-arrange security screening. I wasn't satisfied how Bay Number 1 and 4 kinda squashed. I found Qantas Terminal reference is a lot better so I split 1 and 4 in half and moved against the wall. 🙂 Also I made both walls bit wider.

Welp I have few minutes left to drive to work... Uhhh. xD Welp mortgage to pay...

[worn wolf]

Inzoi child intercations wip

[tough jolt]

These are ADORABLE!!!

You're a good artist too lol

The defend and the cooking together would be so cute

[worn wolf]

Thanks, but these were just quick sketches, wasnt really putting in the effort 🤣

[worn wolf]

I know!!!

I want a whole childhood friend to couple trope 🤣

[tough jolt]

If these get implemented, which I hope they will, so many players will have that storyline lol It's so sweet

But also really a great reflection of childhood and we need that in a life sim

[worn wolf]

Yeah, im drawing back on my childhood for these 🤣

[tidal wind]

hello please I'm looking for admin

[cunning jacinth]

hi, what's up

[stiff hill]

[steep heart]

Scam likely account

💀

-# link tree and twitter is sus

[worn wolf]

I think likely is an understatement 💀

Imagine trying to promise exposure to one of the top companies in the world 😭😭😭

[steep heart]

lmaoo

don't wanna ping mods but hopefully they see my text

[stiff hill]

dath saw hence the whats up

[steep heart]

ya I think that's some sort of scam account or repost bot

[stiff hill]

and itll be taken care of

[steep heart]

[worn wolf]

Definitely wont be seeing this in the sims 4 😭😭

[ruby heart]

Nah they just passive aggressive

[tough jolt]

It did feel like TS4 lowkey hated its own players after a while loool 😆

A cat is wandering into my yard and trying to get into my house. I would definitely take her in but I already have a dog and I'm deathly allergic to cats. But she looks well fed, she isn't feral or afraid, so why is she trying to come into my house and not go back to her owners? Cats are so mysterious

[cunning jacinth]

probably just wandered

[tough jolt]

Do they not miss their owners? My dog would panic if he got lost.

If it comes back I will see if it needs help but it's hard to tell, it looks so confident lol

[cunning jacinth]

cats are highly independent, dogs are more social

met a black cat in the same condition but a little worse

like last week

scruffy but not hostile

[worn wolf]

Probably abandoned/lost

My cats are wanderers, but theyre well cared for and you can see theyre house pets

So about project rene

[broken quiver]

I do not think it will flop but they're going to alienate their old audience. I do not think they care. They're chasing after the mobile market. But tbh there are really impressive F2P games on mobile already. I don't know what they can offer

[worn wolf]

This drawing has recently been making headways because of how hilariously bad it is 🤣

I literally see it pop on all corners of the internet

Looks like KFC joined in on the meme, so looks like it's about to die out 💀

[narrow rock]

nani

[wheat merlin]

Reminds me of Anime. 😊

[narrow rock]

also sorry for late reply, I didn't have net for 30hours >_>
Pet sounds a bit weird...so I went with kid XD

like some ppl rank pets lower than a human child XD

[worn wolf]

Also, I saw a super disgusting image of an xray of a woman who ate raw pork, and it was so disgusting it made my fibromyalgia worse 🥲

[narrow rock]

real xray machine? 🤔

https://tenor.com/view/moleman-hello-ignored-xray-simpsons-gif-10945843

[crimson brook]

They say it so stank 😭🤣

[worn wolf]

Yeah. Like, it was a woman's body completely infested with worms

[narrow rock]

D:

[worn wolf]

And I dont mean like in the stomach or whatever. It was all through her leg muscles

Still trying to calm down 🥲

[wheat merlin]

Any your stores in your country started Black Friday?

[worn wolf]

Yeah

[crimson brook]

I already don't like bugs

[worn wolf]

I already see sales pop here and there

[wheat merlin]

It's terribly busy...

[narrow rock]

that's like a very american thing, no?

[wheat merlin]

True...

But now Australia being a copy cat..

[worn wolf]

Made me paranoid I might have it even though I always cook my pork 🥲

[wheat merlin]

But no fights like I seen in American scenes.

[narrow rock]

oh really? I guess that means NZ too 😅 Maybe I'll call up some mates back there and see if they're doing it too or not...

[crimson brook]

Black friday wild 🤣

[worn wolf]

We got it in canada too. But you domt see peiple camping outside malls and going into brawls

[crimson brook]

This lady couldn't get out the parking space at the mall

My bf literally had to go in her car and back out of the parking spot for her

[narrow rock]

https://tenor.com/view/black-friday-is-upon-us-south-park-shopping-deals-its-black-friday-gif-19529178

[latent valley]

as someone who lives in a civilized country, our black Friday is just in online stores lmao

[wheat merlin]

Also Aus has Boxing Day after Christmas Day.

[crimson brook]

I luv this episode 😭

[worn wolf]

Yup, got that too

[latent valley]

what the hell is boxing day

why y'all boxing 🥊

[crimson brook]

I used to think boxing day was when we could box outside

[worn wolf]

Black friday 2.0

[narrow rock]

I wish lol, it's the day after xmas

also HIIIII

[crimson brook]

A box inside of a box

[latent valley]

we only celebrate Christmas on the 24th, then it's over

[worn wolf]

Isn't Christmas on the 25th?

[crimson brook]

I celebrate for two months

[latent valley]

nope, not here

[wheat merlin]

As Boxing Day was traditionally a day dedicated to giving to the poor and those in need, the connection makes sense. It's also British thing.

[crimson brook]

Dang maybe we should celebrate boxing day

[worn wolf]

Oooh, a British thing actually makes sense 🤣

[narrow rock]

Also to add, sometimes it's meant to be "cleaning up" the xmas present boxes as a double meaning 😅

[worn wolf]

Australia has a British flag and canada has a British king 🤣

[narrow rock]

It's a commonwealth countries thing

[wheat merlin]

As I remembered before 2010 Boxing Day was terribly busy when we did not have Black Friday and online sale.

[wheat merlin]

True 🙂

[narrow rock]

you crazy swedes, what do you do on the 25th then? XD

[worn wolf]

So everybody who got conquered by the brits

[wheat merlin]

Oh you. 🤗

[latent valley]

we chill, I guess 😭

[crimson brook]

Do y'all go caroling

[latent valley]

nah

[worn wolf]

Never seen it

[latent valley]

same lmao

[narrow rock]

https://tenor.com/view/kossi-british-south-park-theme-park-tycoon-gif-25187082

[latent valley]

I would be pissed if people came here singing randomly

[crimson brook]

https://tenor.com/view/hsm-high-school-musical-were-all-in-this-together-dance-gif-5323618

[worn wolf]

We do got a Santa parade though

[latent valley]

I'm an avid Christmas hater tho so I mean

[worn wolf]

Also gonna convince my gf to take me downtown next month cause the distillery district is always well decorated for Christmas 🤔

[crimson brook]

I went to a Chinese light festival it was so pretty 😍

[narrow rock]

free booze? 👀

[worn wolf]

No, Christmas market 🤣

[narrow rock]

looks nice

[crimson brook]

Free apple cider 🤤

[worn wolf]

Okay, calmed down from the image now 🤣🤣🤣

[narrow rock]

omg discord plz, red dot won't go away from icon

[latent valley]

i need advice

i study to become a primary school teacher (4 years @ university) and i've finished 7 out of 8 semesters, but i had to take a break

so i applied to jobs. some jobs are at the same "level", you need a 4+ year degree.

i managed to get a job, without a degree

now, the question is, should i tell the mean girls in my class @ university that i managed to land a job without the degree, just to piss them off

we're talking mean girls mean girls. 25-30 y/o bullies

[narrow rock]

did they really pissed you off back then?

and are they still mean?

[worn wolf]

Thats really childish tbh. On both ends

[latent valley]

i haven't met them since last semester. they talk behind my back because i don't attend all lectures (non mandatory, btw)

[latent valley]

good

childish is what i'm looking for

[worn wolf]

If childish is what you're looking for, my friends cyberbullied my wanna be bully until she cried to a mutual friend to make him stop

[latent valley]

lmao i'm not for bullying at all so i won't go THAT far

it's a simple "hey guys i landed a job as a teacher, good luck with your studies, though"

after years of hearing about how incompetent i am and name calling i think that's pretty mild

[worn wolf]

You should still finish out the remaining courses if you want better jobs in the future btw

[latent valley]

i am. i'm getting my degree, while i'm working

and this Is the good job, lmao

this is the type of job you get with that degree

i get paid the same as someone with a degree

a teacher license is extremly valuable and of course i will finish my studies

[narrow rock]

nice

[latent valley]

i saw that the university program with the most bullying in my country are preschool and teacher programs 🥀

the irony is crazy

[worn wolf]

Ive never even heard of bullying in university tbh 💀

[latent valley]

bullying can be found everywhere haha

humans are awful

[worn wolf]

Good things universities tend to have 0 bullying tolerance and work places tend to have HR 🤷🏼‍♀️

[latent valley]

so does all schools?

doesn't mean bullying isn't a thing lmao

just like there are laws but people still commit crimes

canada (if i understand it correctly, where you live i mean)

damn what happened to my grammar

[hybrid crag]

thinking bullying isn't a thing amongst adults is crazy ngl

[latent valley]

people who peak in high school tend to panic as they get older 😭

[hybrid crag]

i feel like if you don't believe bullying is occurring you're probably a bully yourself but i digress

[fossil meadow]

I've had it where two girls used to do like
Really immature and childish stuff
Like walking past my desk and trying to knock my stuff on the floor
And very loudly talking about me to themselves then both turning their heads to look at me like 👁️ 👄 👁️

I lowkey was mortified on behalf of them because it was like 11 year old level of bullying and they were 18
But some people just don't grow up

[edgy oracle]

good morning Henry

[worn wolf]

Found the baby face template!!!

So far, I've only seen the asian one used. Hopefully they'll add the remaining ones in the future 🤞

[narrow rock]

why do I recall that "No-Cardiologist" guy as a troll before in older posts 🤔
now he's suddenly making kinda good posts 🤔

[worn wolf]

On the inzoi sub?

[narrow rock]

yep, just saw you replied to him as well XD

[worn wolf]

Damn, youre right 🤣🤣🤣

[umbral osprey]

where is that?

[ruby heart]

Don’t bother with certain users I have had my fair share of nonsense with certain two

Now I have to take a damn break from this section because they tag team bully

[wheat merlin]

I think I made like 20+ attempts. I finally made a perfect knot!

[scarlet hearth]

Are you plan to release it? it should be easier than Sims 4 without UV2 (I think?)

[wheat merlin]

Yep... 🙂

[fossil meadow]

Late morning

[wheat merlin]

Early Morning

Today is going to be a crappy day... Lazy worker returns while I'll be a hardcore mad cow at back warehouse handling stock...

[ruby heart]

My supervisor is mad at me for going above her to complain about my two coworkers but she doesn’t do anything about them either and I get slaved out

[zenith dirge]

I’m finally recovering from the jet lag thank God!

What did I miss?

[stiff hill]

nothing rlly

same old same old

[zenith dirge]

Hi Jin

[stiff hill]

hola

[zenith dirge]

So nothing new for the game?

[stiff hill]

i mean have you played since the october update?

theres a lot

[zenith dirge]

Oh neat! I’m settling back in at Italy and need a wind down session. Maybe playing the game would do me a world of good

[stiff hill]

they updated traits so itll be super new to ya lol

[zenith dirge]

Awesome!

Also I’m getting sick of pasta again and again and again and I might visit this delicious hole in the wall Chinese resto

[stiff hill]

i could never get sick of pasta

[zenith dirge]

If you eat it every meal for everyday for 2 weeks straight?

You will, oh trust me you will

[stiff hill]

i can yes, just ask my bf lmao

he complains that i always want pasta

[zenith dirge]

I’ll take your word for it. And now I must scream at my cook to make something else

Then again…

Maybe a tomato-based risotto might be good, even if I am sick of pasta…I don’t think risotto counts as pasta anyway

Neat someone reacted with Chinese takeout

I’ll get Chinese then

[stiff hill]

cazy

[zenith dirge]

Shiiit…

I can’t remember the name of the restaurant

I can’t believe I forgot the name of the restaurant

Damn I must be getting old…

All I remember was it was very hidden by the Regola area, squeezed in some buildings, had a black gate, and was so hidden it was a perfect date spot for men and their err…extracommital partners

[scarlet hearth]

-# Their food must have strong and exotic taste

[zenith dirge]

Oh yea it was the best Chinese food I had whenever I visit Rome down from the lake

If only I had better memory retention

Screw it…I’ll just eat at Sonia’s

[worn wolf]

Toronto, but every big city should have a christmas market

[fossil meadow]

I don't eat it every day of every meal but I do have pasta several days in a row

It's cheap and easy to make in a batch and you can just put whatever toppings you want on top

[worn wolf]

be me

tell reddit about a scam that happened

tell them not to give out a name during unfamiliar calls

reddit goes on witch hunt 💀💀💀💀💀

[fossil meadow]

It's like bread and potato for me
It can be 7 different meals each day of the week

Sorry, I just got back from the gym, and I have no idea what happened or what’s going on. I just noticed the chat was heated. But I don’t get what the confrontation is really about.

[stiff hill]

it has been taken to a ticket, please do not continue the convo here

[narrow rock]

Wonder if I should order burger/sandwichs or go for asian rice meals 🤔

[dreamy ferry]

I scrolled back and read about cheese and now i’m hungry

mmmm cheese…

[stiff hill]

makin me hungry mann

[narrow rock]

Buy 1 get 1 free atm from uber 🤔

[placid sail]

Ah, ok, sorry about that

[worn wolf]

Looks like paralives is unraveling. There's some drama on the life sim sub, calling them out for their monetization and hiding the live stream behind a pay wall 😬

[dreamy ferry]

i did not know that happened

oh my

haven’t they always had patreon exclusives though

[worn wolf]

I had a promotion like that. Got 2 Japanese puddings and 2 passion fruit Italian sodas 🤣

[dreamy ferry]

like see it here first

[worn wolf]

They did, but they said they delayed the release with a short paragraph and the live stream is locked behind a paywall so People cant see for themselves why it was locked. They also said that on the patreon post, on the same post as the delay announcement, they also reminded them about patreon tiers

[narrow rock]

Wait the one from 2 weeks ago is locked now?

Can't see it with the free trial?

[wet schooner]

Because I posted from the reddit inzoinşn page, they gave me a warning and deleted both my message from kjun's post and here. Two moderators. They are out to disrespect me. They think they are the official inzoi team.

[worn wolf]

Im talking about the gameplay livestream

Its still behind a paywall

Literally the only video in existance that shows off gameplay

[placid sail]

oh yeah, I saw the gameplay livestream behind a paywall

[wet schooner]

I was sharing my own thoughts here

[narrow rock]

Well it wasn't that great/disaster, hence why they're trying to fix the issues in prep for next week's stream 🤔

Apparently someone leaked the whole thing already

[worn wolf]

Yup, I know where to find the leaked file 🤣

Cant share it though since it's infested with questionable ads

[narrow rock]

Anyway I doubt they can fix pathing and object collision, and para npc AI in like 2 weeks...

[placid sail]

It’s no problem to record with OBS as well.

[dreamy ferry]

I would definitely advise against sharing that stuff here

[worn wolf]

Thats why im not 🤷🏼‍♀️

[dreamy ferry]

But it’s super exciting to hear they may be sorting the game play out. Even if it is locked behind a pay wall

[worn wolf]

I doubt they can fix in in 6 months tbh, especially since it can take years

[dreamy ferry]

I haven’t exactly been keeping up with the development of it as much as i’d like

[worn wolf]

Ive been looking here and there, but so far I havent really heard of anything good aside from the customization

[narrow rock]

Mhm

[worn wolf]

Also, the fact they advertise themselves as an indie take on the dollhouse genre. That's badically saying they're trying to become a sims 4 clone

[narrow rock]

I guess the short of it, it's far worse and lacking than inzoi's early access debut...

[worn wolf]

I hope they show something that proves that they should be kept on the radar, but so far.... I havent exactly seen anything worth playing it aside from the customization

[violet sentinel]

Is this a bug just for me or for everyone? There are no animal animations along with the animated banner on both TV and computers?

[narrow rock]

Went with Beef bowl with melted cheese

[stiff hill]

That looks so good ngl

[placid sail]

I was just about to write that. Also, I keep in mind InZOI’s packed roadmap, which the team seems to fully carry out (I saw that only the Memory System will remain, the development of which Kjun confirmed), in addition to two- to threefold expansions beyond the roadmap.

[cunning jacinth]

I seem to have misplaced my copy, would you mind sharing it?

[dreamy ferry]

I have a whole bread stick

From the bakery

Bakery bread is always the best

[warm dew]

Now you need soup

[fossil meadow]

I think honestly Paralives is caught in a catch-22 situation now
They didn't prioritise gameplay for live mode for years but people thought they were and were expecting less content but really deep gameplay
But they don't actually have the depth people were expecting and I don't think they have the content to make up for it

[pliant tree]

When Paralives started development was Inzoi even a known thing?
I can just imagine the Devs.. "Oh... shooot!"

[fossil meadow]

Like the fact when paras go to work, they don't even walk to the door to leave, let alone to their workplace
They'll teleport from the bathroom to go to work

Just POOF out of existence for a few hours
the POOF back into existence stood in the exact same spot in the bathroom

[pliant tree]

Lame

[worn wolf]

You're probably referring to the old road map, which is outdated. But honestly, they more or less delivered what they promised, although some were pushed to earlier

[fossil meadow]

Inzoi was announced now 4? years ago? which was just a "Krafton is making a life sim!" without a lot of information
And we started seeing gameplay 2? years after it's initial announcement
Paralives is nearing 8 years since it was announced

[worn wolf]

Less. It's been annoucend a year before release

[pliant tree]

Ill bet inital investors have all but given up hope by now.

[fossil meadow]

https://80.lv/articles/pubg-developer-announces-a-ue5-powered-rival-to-ea-s-the-sims

This is when news people started picking it up in 2023

[worn wolf]

Yeah, thats exactly when it was announced

In 2023

[fossil meadow]

Dates get funky for me

[worn wolf]

Its been in developmemt for 8 months at that point

[cunning jacinth]

work started iirc in 2022 but yea 2023 announced

[fossil meadow]

Yeah I'm just going off announcements to the public

Since that'd be when it was known

[worn wolf]

Kjun said in a recent interview they developed inzoi in 8 months, which im assuming he meant before the august CAZ demo 🤔

[scarlet hearth]

-# Totally different style though, that's why I don't think the two overlaps much

[worn wolf]

But appearantly they only got their own department earlier this year cause that's when inzoi studio got founded 😅

They had 50 people back then, but according to some internal krafton website, they have 140 employees rn

And are looking for a ux designer 👀

[fossil meadow]

January was when I saw Inzoi Studio pop up as a name everywhere

[worn wolf]

Yeah, thats around then

Its when krafton was doing a soft launch to generate hype

[pliant tree]

Its a shame I was kind of looking foward to Paralives. But now Im just like 'pffft whenever'.

[fossil meadow]

Also man I keep seeing people say that nobody shows behind their scenes stuff for games and it's again so clear they don't know the industry
People in the industry LOVE to blab and the only thing that really prevents it is NDAs especially at Triple A level
But even under NDA people can get greenlit to show work
It's what happens at university you can have guests in who's been greenlit to show you in-production stuff
Then Double A and indies often do get the freedom to just show more of development in general
Especially small indies

Also Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 remade their entire trailer through behind the scenes stuff https://youtu.be/VsBIQHxcLdk?si=j_nvJLmJnb9TnFU0

"Nobody likes to see rough stuff!"
THEY DO

[pliant tree]

Oh man I gotta watch that KCD is one of my favorite games!

[fossil meadow]

Humans are by nature very curious

There's entire events and magazines which is all about how things are made behind the scenes and the rough and ugly parts of game design

[worn wolf]

Then why is paralives like 🤑🤑🤑 then? 🤔

They could have easily started a kickstarter. Probably would have generated more funds than their patreon route

But once inzoi babies are complete, we gonna be eating good 🤣

[pliant tree]

Wait your eating babys???

[warm dew]

[wooden coral]

Only on Thanksgiving

[pliant tree]

Ah just in time then. But no thianks Ill pass 😄

[warm dew]

[warm dew]

Lets move on from this^ please

[high cobalt]

@worn wolf The live stream was stream before delay.It was meant to be a stream for patrons.This was before the delay

[worn wolf]

....the live stream was streamed after delay since you can't have a live stream without being live, then it'd just be a stream 💀💀💀

[high cobalt]

@worn wolf It was live from discord

[fossil meadow]

Actually it was recorded before
Just released on the day of the delay

It was on discord before

It's who the uh
She's community manager? sometimes refers to

Is the discord chatters

[worn wolf]

Should've released it to the public still 🤷🏼‍♀️

[high cobalt]

@fossil meadow This I am a patron.I saw it live from discord when it was broadcast

[fossil meadow]

I DO think they made a mistake releasing it along the delay post at the very least those could have been two separate posts because it's led to confusion
But it was filmed Tuesday before the announcement

[high cobalt]

@worn wolf It was never meant to be public.It was just a stream patron before the early acess.I agree they should show some game play videos.But the stream didnt have to be part that.

@fossil meadow Yah ,these should been two seperate posts

[worn wolf]

Well, personally I dont really care since theyre on my "do not buy" list unless they show off something actually worth the $40 price tag and not just another sims 4 clone

[fossil meadow]

They do need to get patron and public on the same page now It's the only way I can see them fixing a lot of the backlash

On my post on reddit I suggest still giving patrons a week or two in advance to news
And maybe getting to see livestreams recorded live on discord
But everything should be released for everyone

Because I DO get they still need funding
But 3 month wait for public has always been overkill and this one livestream alone has caused so much confusion and distrust

[worn wolf]

And the backlash be lashy, especially since it's been nothing but toxic positivity up until that point 💀

[worn wolf]

3 months??!!!

[fossil meadow]

I still don't think the Paralives team is scammers or fraudsters
But they have made some really big mistakes and misled people unintentionally
And that's really hard to fix and rebuild the trust

[fossil meadow]

Yeah some of their patreon posts are locked are from August
September was their last publicly released post and it only got released months later

[worn wolf]

That means that we wont see the current gameply until 3 months before release and then the actual gameplay will be a mystery until theyre actually released 💀💀💀

[fossil meadow]

They do say they'll do livestreams publicly now more regularly but they'll be different to the ones patrons see in discord
for some reason

I don't get why they have to be different if the goal is to now show how the state of the game is now for everyone

[worn wolf]

.....and youre still saying theyre not scammers?

[fossil meadow]

Scammer would mean they're intentionally doing it in a crime sense
I DO think they've misled people but I can see how they've accidentally done it

[worn wolf]

Theyre basically asking you to pay for the privilege of watching gameplay 🤨

[fossil meadow]

Paralives is a development of many early mistakes from inexperience that have just snowballed

[worn wolf]

Like, no finished product, no renders, no goodies. Just..... some rando playing a game

[fossil meadow]

Like Alex decided Patreon day one inspired by Ooblets
And Ooblets hadn't made it over the finish line themselves yet and almost didn't

I folloed Ooblets development too and they took an Epic exclusive deal in the end

Also ooblets was always only a two person development from start to finish and while the game has a lot of content it's a smaller scope than a life sim

[worn wolf]

Idk, paralives is sending some red flags, especially with the whole free DLC model. Like theyre planning to keep cashing out on patrons forever 🤔

Next thing you know, theyll release updates 3 month early to those subscribed to their patreon

[median vigil]

that would be really shady if they did that but i could see it happening so they can get some more paterons

[worn wolf]

Yeah, thats why im reserved

[median vigil]

theyll keep that pateron going forever

[worn wolf]

Not buying unless im proven otherwise

[median vigil]

i see so many red flags just like i did with life by you i had the same feeling that wasnt coming out and i dont think paralives is either

[fossil meadow]

Honestly tbh that's a good approach to indie especially for a studios first game or game of the scale they're doing
I think people over correct supporting indie devs to the point they aren't critical or skeptical

Supporting indie devs movement was always more about considering them an option and pushing events like the Games Award to showcase and support more indies
But people have over corrected it into yes manning and toxic positivity

[worn wolf]

Yeah. Theyre all first time devs with no proven track record, so we dont know if they can even pull it off

[fossil meadow]

I'd say it's good for even Triple A when they pivot to new games
I was so unsure on Inzoi until Gamescom

[worn wolf]

Oh no, 100%

[median vigil]

i can see them dipping one day with the pateron money and you never hear from them again 😄

if they dont keep it going forever and bring nothing out

[worn wolf]

Im not skeptical or overly positive with them just because theyre indie. Im holding them to the same standart as I do all games

[scarlet hearth]

-# They don't have parent company to pull the plug... maybe they release it after all

[worn wolf]

And I played plenty of great indie titles with way less funding, so giving them a pass just because theyre indie is a no go for me

[fossil meadow]

Even when I'm in charge of a project myself I run by a "If you think it can work, then prove me wrong in my doubts"
And I think I carry that still
Even with Canvastown now I'm like
Kjun show me it's a good idea
I can see the potential but I need to see it's potential in action

And Kjun has built a lot of trust

[median vigil]

what gets me is the exact dates and the videos hyping people up and then they hide the real game play from everyone and only show that to paterons 🤔

its questionable

[fossil meadow]

But I still like to see things

[worn wolf]

I can personally could see the potential off the bat since it comes very close to my vision of an ideal life sim 🤣🤣🤣

But I get why others need more convincing

[worn wolf]

And the daily godamn countdown 🫠

[fossil meadow]

Rule one of game design is that it needs to be fun or somewhat an interesting experience
Rule two of game design what sounds great on paper often isn't in practice

[median vigil]

a countdown to nothing its the final countdown alright 😄

[fossil meadow]

I have come up with BANGER ideas on paper and then tried to actually do them and
they were not the bangers I thought they were

Even just on the art side

But this is why you start working rough from ASAP

I thought once I could make an entire game with Vtuber/Live2D style you see in a lot of visual novels
But for a bullet hell action game
Yeah
No
Awful idea in practice

[worn wolf]

Idk, for me canvas town is:

Smaller area = more lively

Comprised of just lots = more building opportunities

No loading screens between lots = yes pls

Runs great = where do I sign up?

[worn wolf]

So jrpg?

[median vigil]

yeh but hyping everyone up just to let people down time and time again is disgusting

you might as well keep your mouth shut until sure

paralives i see them as abit selfish

[worn wolf]

Also, no homeless townies (or at least hoping for them since I can build everybody a home and still have plenty of space), and I can actually also care about each townie, snoop on neighbours, form rivalries and make childhood friends

[fossil meadow]

It was this style of game where there's A LOT of visual information going on
So having the player character moving around with dynamic limbs and breathing was
Hell to see and too much information for players
Having a more static and simplified character worked out in the end so players wouldn't lose them in all the chaos on the screen

[median vigil]

i dont care what happens just as long as i have family tree

i do like homeless on the streets though it adds abit of realism

[worn wolf]

This gives cult of the lamb 🤔

[fossil meadow]

The vtuber/live2D style I think is only used in visual novels and turn based fights for a reason

[worn wolf]

I dont mean homeless people, I mean townies without a home 🤣🤣🤣

[median vigil]

yeh i mean them too i like them in the game it adds realism

[worn wolf]

No, you can manipulate live 2d the same as you can in spine 2d

[median vigil]

nothing wrong with 1 or 2 homeless begging in your game 😂

its actually more realistic then ghosts👀

im not sold on the ghosts thing and dont want to see that in my game ever i hope i can forever keep it turned off

[fossil meadow]

I think the number one mistake people make in the industry is not asking the whys anymore
Why do games of this genre animate characters like this? Why hasn't someone made a real time farming sim? Why did Animal Crossing overly simplify their farming system in their real time game?
Questions I'm actually asking right now for a personal project

[scarlet hearth]

Having both slum and high rise areas is nice. edit: I just saw the clarify lol - townies

[fossil meadow]

Why do so many farming sims do 2D pixel art and why do the ones who do 3D use isometrics?

[median vigil]

yeh i think so with 1 or 2 homeless lurking

[worn wolf]

That one i know. It's because pixel art is much quicker and cheaper than 3d isometric

But nobody can stop you from actually making a 3d isometric farming sim if you really wanted to do it

[fossil meadow]

Depends on detail and scale
Some pixel art games can take a REALLY long time due to them having more pixels per asset

those all have to be hand painted

[median vigil]

for cheapness

[fossil meadow]

Also these are open ended questions

there's no right answers

It depends on your project, your experience and what you wish to achieve

[median vigil]

not many farming 3d games have i come across

[fossil meadow]

I'd be much faster at 3D isometrics than pixel because I have a lot of background in it

[median vigil]

if i wanted to farm and garden id get outside 😄 it doesnt interest me that but some like it

[fossil meadow]

It's just things devs should ask themselves because sometimes you can avoid headaches

[worn wolf]

Also had to do with the medium. Coding and making 2d games is different than coding and making 3d gamea

[fossil meadow]

when you think of a REALLY GOOD IDEA
You need to think of the why and the whats
Why is it a good idea
What would it achieve
What will it take to implement it
How long will it take to do
Is there an easier approach that might be a better avenue
Is it something you think is your unique selling point and should try to make work anyway

[worn wolf]

Plus, pixel art also allows for a lot of cheap animations cause if youre too lazy to animate someone taking their time sitting down on a chair and instead just appear on it, the art is low grade enough so it doesnt appear weird

[fossil meadow]

Again there's no right answers

[median vigil]

the only pixel art game i play is vampire survivors on my phone i wouldnt play pixel art on my pc and i usually play vampire survivors when im taking a dump on the toliet

[fossil meadow]

It's person and team dependant

[worn wolf]

Ive played plenty tbh 🤣

[median vigil]

i play snake clash on the toliet too

[fossil meadow]

I'm worlds pickiest person when it comes to pixel art
It's not even exact what I like it's a case by case thing

[median vigil]

toliet games for only the mobile but i know when to stop when my legs and ankles go numb i remember a time before phones and it was just staring at the four walls...

[worn wolf]

Im picky about pixel art in the sense that it hate it

But art isnt what's most improtant to me, its gameplay 🤷🏼‍♀️

[fossil meadow]

I think Stardew Valley has too little detail
But then I like the simplicity of Fields of Misteria but just think it's too bright in colour scheme and I'm someone who likes darker colours

[median vigil]

cant play stardew valley never interested me and too long a game for toliet

[fossil meadow]

Oh I LOVE stardews gameplay

I'm just not big on visuals good thing it's one of the easiest games to mod

[median vigil]

i havent the patience for pixel art games unless its a quick session

[worn wolf]

No, i agree. I dont like stardew art cause it does look like it was drawn by someone learning to draw, but fields of mysteria is too.... 2000s kids pop

[median vigil]

i use to play atari as a kid i couldnt play it now if i had one

[fossil meadow]

I actually think they nail the artstyle they were going for it's just not for me

And I will admit I am a graphics girlie at the end of the day

[median vigil]

i use to spend hours playing pacman i dont know how i did it i think my eyes was better and thats why i could stand to do it

[worn wolf]

Also, stardew valley has very underwhelming clothing choices

[median vigil]

i play my games on a big oled tv im blind otherwise

i moved from the ultrawide cause i couldnt see it was too tiny

[fossil meadow]

I play mostly on PC
My TV is for watching livestreams on twitch and youtube videos

[median vigil]

i have a bigger tv for movie watching in the living room

this is just my gaming one

[fossil meadow]

I do sometimes put my Switch games on TV but I prefer handheld consoles more than anything so I can play them in bed

[worn wolf]

I play on everything I feel like playing on 🤷🏼‍♀️

[median vigil]

i have a switch 2 but its collectin dust

i dont know why i bought it

i play monopoly on it sometimes...

i like monopoly 👀

[worn wolf]

Though i prefer to just play console games on my pc since I have a controller 🤣

[median vigil]

i like anything to do with money😂

[fossil meadow]

Maybe when I move in with my partner I'll wire up my PC to use the TV screen to share my gaming with them
Because my partner doesn't play games but likes hanging out while people play
And neither of us are big TV or film show watchers

[median vigil]

i play everything on pc with controller except inzoi i use wasd for controlling zoi sometime

[worn wolf]

I play inzoi without controller and WASD 🤣🤣🤣

[median vigil]

i cant use controller on inzoi it feels wrong to me i just want mouse an keyboard on that

and i am close to the screen when i play inzoi

i sit back when i play with my controller

and put my feet up

im not competitive gaming just rpgs

[fossil meadow]

I don't play Inzoi with a controller because it's clunky and lowkey think it needs a first person mode for it to be really good for this style of game but I play almost every other game with controller
If the game doesn't come with controller support I make it have it via Steam

[median vigil]

ive 55 inch tv for inzoi and 77 inch tv for movies

and i still think them screens are abit small i need 100 inch next for my bad eyesight so i can see every detail

but im not paying that money for the 100 inch at the moment 🫣

[worn wolf]

....so, some new sims 4 developments

....so..... a certain sims 4 person who was worshipped for giving away packs for free (if you catch my drift) has quit. Permanently. We're about to see a drop in the concurrent player count they keep hyping so aggressively 👀

[fossil meadow]

This has been one hell of a week for life sim news tbh

[worn wolf]

I know 🤣🤣🤣

[fossil meadow]

Paralives delay, Sims 4 remaster, Project Rene leaks, Krafton lawsuit news
I don't think anything has been spared

[worn wolf]

Inzoi canvas town and multiplayer

Theres been attacks on all fronts

[fossil meadow]

At this point LBY could be announced to have a comeback and I'd be like
Yeah no sure we're at this point now

[median vigil]

nah thats dead in the waters

them graphics was rough as hell lmao😂

too much drama..

everyone need to chill out

[worn wolf]

So many people in his comments are like "good. People will buy the damn packs now"

This will be them when concurrent player count goes to hell:

Just me drinking pomegranate hibiscus rose tea while I sit back and watch all the public outcry on reddit

[ruby heart]

Everyone got their stimulus check in my household except me…why I don’t know

[fossil meadow]

It's quite funny to see all the drama in life sim this week and then another game I play is just like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pYGwAzclqI

bot

Life sim community: 🔥 🍵 🐶 🔥
Vintage Story: Me fishing and having a good time ^^

[edgy oracle]

hello minai

[fossil meadow]

Vintage Story is a fun development story because
It was inspired by a Minecraft mod and then has evolved into an entire game of itself
With a big focus on survival
I love minecraft but lowkey I don't play it the same way after I started playing Vintage Story

Vintage Story is minecraft if it was more of an eldritch horror and everything had a purpose

[worn wolf]

One more thing we forgot: the not malcolm inzoi video filled with lies

[fossil meadow]

They're probably the closest that's ever come close to a minecraft killer largely because it flew under the radar and grew naturally
Meanwhile hytale which WAS hyped as the Minecraft killer has had development hell

[worn wolf]

Also, looks like a sims 4 quitting news reached the Latin community now. I know they were his biggest supporters 🤣

[fossil meadow]

I think the best thing that can happen to you in this industry is flying under the radar Inzoi originally did for the wider life sim

[worn wolf]

Ngl, it just looks like modded minecraft

Maybe i should play modded Minecraft now to unwind 🤣

[fossil meadow]

haha I do get why But once you start playing it doesn't feel like minecraft and if you go in thinking it's minecraft it'll punish you pretty fast for it

[ruby heart]

Hey how are you?!

[edgy oracle]

Im good tyty hbu?

[ruby heart]

Same old same old 🙂

[fossil meadow]

My kittens: Hehehe we should pull up the carpet
My kittens when they can't open the door anymore because they pulled up the carpet:

[pliant tree]

You had kittens?

[median vigil]

you are not malcolm so much drama 😄

who cares what that guy says

[pliant tree]

What the hell brought that dead horse to life?

[median vigil]

what dead horse

i hope you not talking about me lol

cause ill have you know there is still life in this old horse yet👀

[pliant tree]

Not you specifically... the topic.

It was dead and forgotten.

[median vigil]

oh okay then shhh we wont talk about it 😄

[pliant tree]

Sorry Im old and grumpy.

[median vigil]

im older and grumpier

[pliant tree]

Oh I seriously doubt that.

[median vigil]

🙂

im the grumpest in the land 😄

cause i havent got my inzoi family tree yet

soon tm

[fossil meadow]

Technically they're not kittens anymore because they're a year old now but we call them the kittens still and then my elderly cat is "grampy"

[median vigil]

thats true.... i was calling my cat a kitten at 12 year old still

[pliant tree]

You got pics in share a pet?

[median vigil]

they are always your babies even when they are old themselves

[pliant tree]

Oh I call my cats butthole

[median vigil]

and i miss my girl now i dont have her

[median vigil]

i called my cat saggy belly

cause of the pouch

i had lots of nicknames...

[pliant tree]

Its from getting fixed.

Some call it the spay sway

[median vigil]

it could be ive always thought it was because she ate too much

but it could be that

[pliant tree]

Yes thats it certain muscles are cut when spaying. Its not a problem unless your cat has an image complex 😄

[median vigil]

ive heard it called primordial pouch

and that is what she had

she died of liver failure afew years ago

the vet said it was more kind to put her to sleep

and not to be cruel to keep her alive longer

so thats what i did i let her go

[pliant tree]

Awww always sad. I think weve been through maybe a half dozen cats?

[median vigil]

it was hard on me but its not the first time ive lost pets

i had dogs when i was young i lost them all

i lost three dogs...

[worn wolf]

All the drama that happened across the life sim community this week, just piling it on 🤣

[median vigil]

and 1 cat

im now 40 with no cats

and no animals

[fossil meadow]

#share-your-pet message

[median vigil]

too much drama im staying out of it all makes my head hurt

[pliant tree]

https://tenor.com/view/big-lebowski-stirring-staring-wtf-wut-gif-14468936507739522925

So we currently have two cats.
One is possesive, passive aggressive butt head...
The other reminds me of "The dude" from the big Lebowski!

[median vigil]

i tried to get another cat when i lost my old cat but i had to give her back to the owner within a week i couldnt do it

too soon

and afew years later i still cant have another pet

[worn wolf]

Not true. Primordial pouch provides protection to their vital organs and fat reserves

[median vigil]

ive got a primodial pouch too

[pliant tree]

All I know is Ive been raising cats for a long time and what I have observed. Spayed females get sway belly.

[median vigil]

whats so bad about that im fking old lol😂

and im enjoying eating my food

[worn wolf]

Both my male cats have primordial pouches

[median vigil]

ive seen a male cat with a pouch too...

[pliant tree]

They do too but an un spayed fem does not get it.

[fossil meadow]

When our late cat passed we waited two years? But we also had house rabbits and didn't want to bring a cat in that would be unfamiliar with rabbits (Cinders also got along with the rabbits super well)
Cinders is a super social cat though and used to be friends with the neighbours cat who used to stroll into the house
When the neighbours moved and took their cat, Cinders literally sat at the window yowling for two hours for his friend
After that and given by then the rabbits had passed, we adopted the two kittens

[median vigil]

im eating good i dont care about my pouch anymore

and ive nobody to moan about me having a pouch

so its all good

[pliant tree]

When we were younger we used to foster cats.. like 2 or 3 every couplea weeks. It was fun, challenging, and hearbreaking.

[fossil meadow]

Cinders has outlived 4 other animals by this point

[median vigil]

cinders is taking after the name

[fossil meadow]

One other cat and three house rabbits

[median vigil]

aint we all old cinders👀 cinders at home

[pliant tree]

My all time favorite cat a Black Femail called Screech lived to 18

[worn wolf]

....so, I posted the news about a certain sims 4 benefactor quitting and everybody left and right is just rage quitting and returning to previous titles/quitting altogether. Drama 👀

[median vigil]

yeh but you are fueling it 😄

[worn wolf]

No, i just posted the news 🤣

90% of my life sims related posts are about news

[pliant tree]

K Im tapping out.. cyall ater.

[median vigil]

laters

[fossil meadow]

I'm gonna tap out too because Cinders has gone to bed and because it's freezing temperatures at the moment I'm his bed heater

He's in my bed all tucked up like because he's cold

[wheat merlin]

https://www.reddit.com/r/inZOI/s/MGKPQLOwM0

LoL what's going on? 😵‍💫

@ruby nacelle Hmm should I upgrade to Blender 5.0?

[high cobalt]

You know maybe we should have two versions of the game

One for ultra high pcs and one for mid range

[ruby heart]

Reddit logic. They legit misunderstood everything discussed in the announcement. Canvas town is optional and small however he wants to add loading screens when connecting to different cities so for example once you cross that blue wall (loading screens)

[high cobalt]

@ruby heart Welcome to the internet

[ruby heart]

lol that’s why I call it “Reddit logic” lmao

[worn wolf]

Youre still porting this drama over? 🙄

Nowhere did kjun said there will be loading screens

Literally nowhere 💀

He said there might, players said no, kjun said "bet, imma try to think of something else and leave it as a last resort"

However, even with this approach, nowhere did he say we gonna be getting loading screens for every lot 💀

Bruh, i read over it and had to ask the poster if he's braindead 💀

Sometimes I lose faith in humanity with their reading comprehension 🙏

Like yesterday some guy complained about the same thing, saying they're gonna be adding loading screens to bliss bay and dowon, and refusing to listen despite me posting direct quotes from kjun saying he wont be doing so 💀

[steep heart]

I call that lack of critical thinking

💀

Very echo chamber-like

[subtle shard]

hi

[worn wolf]

Like, wtf is with people 😭

[subtle shard]

its been 100 years

[worn wolf]

Boy, did you pop in at the height of the drama 💀

[subtle shard]

nah i saw that

nah im use to it x D

[worn wolf]

And also everybody complaining about inzoi turning into a massive mmo rpg with battle passes. Again, where tf did kjun say that? 😭

[forest scarab]

[worn wolf]

What i heard him say that nowadays miktiplayer is about obtaining the best loot and and whatever and he wants to bring back what made him fall in love with muktiplayer "connecting with people"

[subtle shard]

well i wasnt on here but saw the reddit and then i read your message and glad they arent adding loading screens

people just need to accept the fact we are in a day in age where people want multiplayer to experience games together.

[worn wolf]

Also:

Sims 4 2.0 is in development

Project rene is gonna be a massive flop

Not Malcolm spreading lies about inzoi

Paralives is delayed

Big A abandoned the sims

All of this just this week btw 💀

[subtle shard]

oh god.. what did i miss

[worn wolf]

Want a break down of the december update?

[subtle shard]

sure, if mods tell us to stop it then ill just im you x

[worn wolf]

Business tycoon simulator in inzoi

Small towns with 80 lots you can build however you like

Multiplayer (possibly or early 2026)

LLM (possible or early 2026)

Family tree

Calendar

Christmas

Court system

Police career

Its public knowledge. You can read through, but this is a summary 🤣

[subtle shard]

oh this is going to be good. my only issue with inzoi and why i havent played much are the controls ;-;

[worn wolf]

Did you play with the october update yet?

[subtle shard]

hmm no but ive been meaning to get on..

waiting for more cc

[worn wolf]

They added Halloween event, trick or treating,and a personality overhaul with traits

[subtle shard]

yeah i saw the update it looked so cool honestly.

[worn wolf]

Im just wasting for the december update cause I srs want my zois to run a business empire 🤣

[subtle shard]

i couldnt find the business info

[worn wolf]

You basically can start with a small store, and if you run it well and get good customer rating, you can,eventually expand to more locations

Here

#1436355790586773696 message

Make sure you search up palet on canvas to claim your official zoi Halloween costumes

[subtle shard]

thanks for letting me know. and this is cool i just read it

please we need baby strollers

Dx

[worn wolf]

Kjun confirmed its coming, we just dont know when 👍

[subtle shard]

i also heard they were reworking the babies. I cant wait to see them updated

[worn wolf]

High sodium or low sodium? There are 2

They suport both

Some people from the high sodium sub said hi to me on the inzoi sub since im active there

It just really depends on who you ask

But so far, I havent really hard a peep about paralives since the delay

Only people jumping on inzoi, going back to earlier installments, other games, or just quitting altogether

Yeah, that was from 5 months ago

But now that paralives got delayed and news of their sorry state begun spreading, the hype died down

I shared some big news on there today, and people were outraged, but there have been no mentions of paralives anywhere

[subtle shard]

yeah im def over it x D

actually thats a good point

they have anadinus pinned

the ai in inzoi isnt even major though

[cunning jacinth]

just a heads up, 20% of games released this year admitted to using generative AI

800% increase from last year

[subtle shard]

ai is apart our lives now. I heard when the iphone came out people were freaking out the same way

[cunning jacinth]

oh blackberry was scrambling

[steep heart]

ai should be used for automation not for creative purposes (unlike a very particular unlikeable and predatory company behind a large life sim franchise)

[worn wolf]

Still nothing compared to EA who vowed to replace 60% of their workers with AI

[steep heart]

then they say it's being shoved down their throats by an AI-centric company

[subtle shard]

we now have popular ai songs now

eh, ai is fine it just needs proper regulations and laws

just like everything we use. its like the internet. cant go to certain websites or you could get reported

[warm dew]

Fun fact: Google's AI can be very wrong

[subtle shard]

well i use ai to help me with coding and other stuff. it can help me learn stuff but i dont rely on it 100% just as for practice

yeah ai is flawed. ai will give you several different responses for the same thing and swear its right

[warm dew]

Circa May(eventually June) Update for inZOI, people thought it was going to come out on May 1st because Google AI said so. However, it was due to an article that was poorly formatted to look like May 1st

[subtle shard]

thats why im like.. we shouldnt replay humans with ai at all

replace**

[warm dew]

100% agree with you

[subtle shard]

att now has an ai that answers the phone and every time i ask for a human... i dont want to speak to an ai assisstant.
