[fossil meadow]

and it looks like meat in a jar

[worn wolf]

It's more of a north thing

Not a lot of fresh food uo there cause it snows years round

[pliant tree]

Ever hear of a thing called spotted eggs?

[median vigil]

i always get the meat feast pizza

[fossil meadow]

I LOVE pineapple on pizza but not with a tomato base
And not Hawaiian pizza style
BBQ sauce pizza, chicken, peppers, sweetcorn and pineapple
Sort of stuff you can get at a BBQ on a skewer

[median vigil]

the more meat on my pizza the better ill enjoy it

[fossil meadow]

this but pizza

[worn wolf]

I actually LOVED the thai rom yum pizza 🤣

[median vigil]

vegeterian pizza gives me zero pleasure..

non what so ever

[worn wolf]

Had tom yum sauce base and shrimp toppings

[median vigil]

i do like shish kebab thingys like them

[pliant tree]

Im always amazed at how Hawaiian folks go crazy for Spam!

[fossil meadow]

Oh spam is
or was at least growing up
Big in the UK too

[median vigil]

spam use to be the cheap ham back in my grannies day

[worn wolf]

Sorry, but these kebabs looks like they're gonna have trouble going down

[median vigil]

i cant stand eating it its horrible

[pliant tree]

Hawaii is the leading consumer of Spam... bar none!

Its not bad if you like fry it up

[median vigil]

i do like corn beef though i prefer it to spam

[worn wolf]

It's good fried with japanese rice and nori

[median vigil]

no id pick it all out 😄

[fossil meadow]

Ye I think over time in the UK it's fallen out of favour
At least for my generation and younger
But my grandparents had tins upon tins of spam

[median vigil]

thats probably like one of the few foods i dont like

[pliant tree]

Slliced thin fried and served on toast with some mayo 😄

[worn wolf]

This

[median vigil]

if it smells like spam im not eating 😄

[worn wolf]

But honestly, I think I only had spam once in my life 🤣

[median vigil]

i can sniff it right out of the can everywhere

[fossil meadow]

enjoy this depressing picture of spam I just found

[median vigil]

smells foul

[pliant tree]

Haha yea thats the stuff!

[fossil meadow]

Don't even try to add anything to it

[worn wolf]

The only canned foods I eat are corn, beans and tuna

[pliant tree]

Its missing the little gelitan globs

[median vigil]

i love tuna out of a tin in brine

it doesnt even have to touch a plate and ill eat it 😄

tuna is smelly too though but i dont know i just like it

[steep heart]

I could never eat seafood apart from shrimp icl the stench is unbareable

[fossil meadow]

I'll come in swinging if anyone disses baked beans on toast and cheese
It's really good but also people seem to think it's like???
High end cruisine??
It's working class meal
You can make it out of a foodbank meal and feed several house members at once

[pliant tree]

-Haha I had to laugh the other day, we were in the 'discount' grocery store. Where they get there stuff I dunno but its cheap.
Anyhow in the pet food isle was a big stack of Tuna Cans!

[worn wolf]

Nakeyflame has something to say about that 💀💀😭😭

[median vigil]

theres nothing wrong with baked beans and toast

[steep heart]

Maybe a century ago it was considered high end cuisine 😂

[median vigil]

its a staple

[worn wolf]

Anybody still got the picture? 👀

[median vigil]

a picture of my glorious fry up

[pliant tree]

My wife hates beans off all sorts. Shame too I love em !

[median vigil]

a plate full to the brim

and you dissed it

[worn wolf]

Holdup, I might have it 🫢

[median vigil]

it had everything on that plate that was enough to give debates

but i tell you something after i ate it all i was full

[pliant tree]

https://tenor.com/view/smell-smoke-smelly-stinky-wave-away-gif-24594197

Nakey with spam

[median vigil]

if that is spam yeh but if it is a good fry up no

[median vigil]

lol

you found my fry up 😄

[worn wolf]

Youre never living this down 🤣

[median vigil]

its bacon wrapped around sausage you do know that

right?

fries and beans

[fossil meadow]

Pig in blankets is a good choice

[median vigil]

lol

[fossil meadow]

I LOVE pigs in blankets

[median vigil]

there is nothing wrong with my fry up its perfectly good 😄

piggies in blankets will never not be my favorite

[fossil meadow]

especially during December when people start to serve it up with cranberry sauce 😩

[worn wolf]

You got den British food standards, so obviously it looks good for you 😭

[median vigil]

i am british what do you expect?

[fossil meadow]

Eh it's just a standard working class meal again

[worn wolf]

You conquered everybody for their spices but used none 😭

[median vigil]

exactly...

and i was working class lol

[fossil meadow]

The sort of thing you can make at home but also lowkey one cafe does it SUPER well

It looks awful
You dream of the taste after you leave

[median vigil]

it tastes better then it looks but polka doesnt know

[fossil meadow]

There's some cafes in London people like
queue for

[median vigil]

yep they do

and its alot better then what some cafes near me cook up...

usually you only get 1 slice of bacon and an egg 😄

americans can be so snobby when it comes to british food

and they havent even tasted it smh

[ruby nacelle]

I make my own pigs in blanket

I get sausage meat from a farm

Then skinny bacon

[fossil meadow]

The best fry up I ever had was what I think ended up being an Italian front
We went in, only people there other than some guys who kept side-eyeing us
Older woman comes out and is like
Ah
Customers
Served the best fry up I ever had and then gave us free drinks on the house
When we went back a few months later, they were gone entirely shut down and no evidence it ever existed except for some images on google

[pliant tree]

We make em too but use croscant roll dough.

[median vigil]

i cant cook to perfection like you but its edible 😄

[fossil meadow]

Haunted by that fry up

[worn wolf]

My standarts are eastern European foods. I look down on american food too, tyvm 🤣

[ruby nacelle]

Sometimes I’m lazy and buy the pre made

But it’s tasteless

[median vigil]

the sausages and bacon i get is expensive but nice

ive tried and tested brands 😄

[median vigil]

if you are cooking for me though ill expect everything from scratch 😄

[fossil meadow]

I love bacon but I don't eat it so much nowadays
Largely in part that I have limited fridge space since I buy my own groceries seperate to my parents
And cook my own meals
So after my mum's done cooking for her and my dad, I don't have long to fry something up and the pans have been used up

[median vigil]

im a greedy fat cow so i eat whatever is infront of me 😄

[worn wolf]

I grew up on chicolate crepes for breakfast and fried meat pastries for dinner 🤷🏼‍♀️

[median vigil]

ive got steaks and lamb chops

and chicken for christmas

[worn wolf]

Plus the best cold cuts 👌

[median vigil]

my freezers full

[fossil meadow]

I had a REALLY lovely lamb and mint wrap today

[worn wolf]

Oh, and caviar and butter on a slice of toast 🤣

[median vigil]

i did a christmas shop for the last four weeks :S

and i spent a fortune

[pliant tree]

Manyall are into the fatty foods!

I ate at an AppleBees today. It was pretty good. Nice service.

[median vigil]

but i got it incase i make a family meal also

[pliant tree]

and I wpent a fortune.

[worn wolf]

....on Applebee's??

[fossil meadow]

Haha I don't eat as much as I did especially as my partner is pretty much vegan nowadays and when we get a place together they'll be cooking
And my mum is vegetarian
Which is why meat's a bit of a delicacy in my house

[median vigil]

i had fish and chips take out the other night

[pliant tree]

Yuh

[fossil meadow]

I tend to keep it for special occasions

Like pigs in blankets is very much a winter meal for me

[worn wolf]

Applebee's in like the mcdonalds of breakfast 😭

[fossil meadow]

even if I love it all year round

[median vigil]

pigs in blanket is an all year round meal for me

[pliant tree]

Winter = Beef Stew for me

[median vigil]

ive had salads in winter ..

and salads in summer

it doesnt bother me i just eat what i fancy

and i dont work on a seasonal clock lol

i was eating curries in summer

[pliant tree]

Nothin like a hearty bowl of hot beef stew on a cold and clamy night!

[worn wolf]

I had wilf rabbit stew once 🤔

[median vigil]

i dont think im too picky with food tbh

[fossil meadow]

nowadays I mostly eat pasta, ramen, jacket potato and soup
Pasta and jacket potato being the most because they can be like
several different meals depending what you prepare with them

[median vigil]

i like jacket potatos with my sirloin steak and ribeye

and petis pois

and i like alittle bit of mixed veg

[fossil meadow]

Jacket potato, beans and cheese is what I eat the most
Then tuna pasta

[worn wolf]

Gf asked me to guess whos the nepotism girl from that one k group and I got it first try 😈

[median vigil]

i like it with beans too

[worn wolf]

She was like "how can you tell" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[median vigil]

i like alot of foods 😄

cause im a greedy git 😄

[fossil meadow]

fajitas are my all time favourite meal

You got to a resturant and they're like
Oh we have fajitas
And it's clearly supposed to be shared between a few people?
Yeah no that's for me

It'a the one thing I'll eat in abundance

[median vigil]

i dont like to share...my ex bf tried to have me share half a pizza with him when i was in my 20s..

i noped out that relationship

he was trying to starve me to death...

fking murder

[pliant tree]

https://tenor.com/view/owen-wilson-wow-marley-and-me-smooth-hd-hq-gif-977282450591946462

[fossil meadow]

I'm okay with sharing most things but I can sometimes be picky
Like with pizza I like REALLY specific combos and are usually making my own
So I don't tend to share pizza either

[median vigil]

yeh but it was a baby pizza too... it wasnt even a large

its something you give to a kid

[stiff hill]

[fossil meadow]

Oh like actual italian pizza? where it only serves one person

[median vigil]

yeh.... baby pizzas

i was hungry after my half lmao

i went home hungry after i had been with him and stuffed my face soon as i got home

then the next time i saw him it was off

the last time i let any guy feed me was that 😄

promised me a massive belly busting meal

whos belly?? lol

i should have known he wouldnt feed me because he was so skinny

[fossil meadow]

My partner is a really good cook tbh
They've made food for me a few times and while it's most vegetarian and vegan stuff
They cook in a way that's like
Actually good food
I find a lot of vegeterian food goes either way
It's either trying to mimic meat meals too much that it ends up bland and makes you miss actual meat
Or what my partner does where it's just REALLY well made food with lots of flavour

no meat replacements

[median vigil]

never trust a skinny chef 😄

[fossil meadow]

My partner isn't so

[median vigil]

they are not sampling their own food 😄

if they are skinny lol

and dont trust the skinny boyfriend to feed you...

and promise you a belly busting meal💀

[median vigil]

you know when a guy is passionate about his food he wont be skinny 😄

funny times when i think back

[fossil meadow]

Ugh I'm still not over Florence and the machines new album I keep listening before bed

My spotify wrapped is going to be a wildcard this year

Kpop Demon Hunters is making the cut but how high up will it be is the real question
Then after that it's between Aurora, Florence and The Last Dinnerparty for top spot unless I accidentally listened to a random song from someone more

[median vigil]

i use tidal

does spotify have hifi sound now?

[fossil meadow]

I think it got added recently? Unsure though

[median vigil]

i use to be on spotify but when i got a better sound system i went to tidal

[median vigil]

if you just listen to it through airpods it doesnt make a difference:D

which one you go for lol

you wont beable to tell a difference on airpods

[fossil meadow]

haha I use a razer Kraken Kitty V1
But it is bluetooth mostly when I'm out an about
But home I also have the wired headset for my PC

[median vigil]

i have a sound system for my movie tv and a sound system for my gaming tv

because i dont like the sound what comes out the tv..

directly

[fossil meadow]

I have a sound system for my PC but I live with my parents so I don't use it as much

[median vigil]

i use mine everyday i barely wear earphones but its understandable if you share a house

my neighbours hate me though 🙂

but sod them 😄 i enjoy blasting my games and blasting my music and if im too hot ill even open the window and blast to the street 😄

nobody is considerate around here anyway because cars always blast music it really is tit for tat

[fossil meadow]

I live in a really quiet street we maybe get <20 cars a day

[median vigil]

my street is jackel and hyde....

one day its quiet

one day its loud af

you never know what you are getting for day to day

[fossil meadow]

I live in a village so it's very quiet
I think in my area is about 100 people?
We're not isolated village but there's really not a lot of people either and no reason for most people to come up our way when they can just use the main roads

[median vigil]

you are lucky with that 😄

[worn wolf]

Thats how you know paralives is suffering since it used to be the golden child 🫢

[median vigil]

the only reason paralives is bringing out that 45 min video is to combat the backlash and its funny to see

[worn wolf]

Even my poopy 280p screenshot of a zoi using a stroller got more attention than that on that sub

[fossil meadow]

haha it's a really nice area I don't want to move out of it but I'll have to because my area is now classed as Middle Class (it wasn't when my mum bought the house) and me and my partner can't afford to buy here
My partner wants to live in a city though because they grew up in a city and I'm like I don't think I'd survive with the sound
I'm used to dead silence at night

[median vigil]

they are bringing out that 45 minute video to say

hey looooookkkk the games coming outttt

lol

[steep heart]

unrelated but yay it's slowly increasing

[median vigil]

and then it wont 😄

[median vigil]

inzoi needs to cook for longer and then people will come back

[steep heart]

fr

[worn wolf]

Because big A quit the sims, so a lot of people are hopping over

[median vigil]

people are only gone because there needs to be more stuff in the game...

[steep heart]

yea but they're probably the ones who won't ever compromise

💀

[worn wolf]

Not counting the millions who are waiting for inzoi full release and inzoi console release

[median vigil]

there will be a turn around in numbers it might not be today or tommorow but it will turn around

with more stuff added to the game..

[steep heart]

yup

[median vigil]

it sold that many i doubt everyone is abandoning it for good

they are just waiting for it to get good

[worn wolf]

Im talking about the ones waiting to buy it

[fossil meadow]

Eventually Inzoi will have monthly stats too instead weekly
and that'll improve the averages too
Weekly stats always feel worse when it's considering weekdays where less people play than spikes on weekends

[median vigil]

i dont know about that but i know it did sell millions

[worn wolf]

No, not millions

Between 1m and 1.5m

[median vigil]

it reached a million atleast

[fossil meadow]

The game hasn't been out long enough for monthly stats
It needs to be a year old

[worn wolf]

But there are millions of wish lists

[median vigil]

besides its a life sim not an rpg or an mmorpg

it will get busy with more updates

people drop and pick it back up all the time

it doesnt need to be constantly busy like an mmorpg

theres no daily rewards to login for

[warm dew]

-# my fave part of the genre

[median vigil]

people play life sims at their own pace

[warm dew]

-# guilt free put down and pick up whenever

[median vigil]

if i want rpg i play path of exile 2

if i want life sim i play inzoi

[warm dew]

Lately I have been playing a lot of Marvel Rivals

[fossil meadow]

Speaking of wishlists and I think I haven't spoken about it much but
Paralives hit a million wishlists but they had a VERY slow wishlist grow
And even now barely move from the 30s in ranking
Which makes me wonder how many of those wishlists still intend to buy 🤔
With wishlists you kind of want them to grow later on than earlier
Because years later people might still not want to play or willing to buy

[median vigil]

next month on the update is when i will play inzoi again

[fossil meadow]

Inzoi had a VERY rapid growth when early access was running up but Paralives didn't really seem to 🤔

[median vigil]

because im not playing next league

path of exile burnt me out too much

im skipping that

[warm dew]

Probably same for me. I have gotten to play inzoi for a while because of school.

[steep heart]

100% agree its that replayability factor which keeps everyone coming

[warm dew]

I still hope for Paralives to succeed

[warm pollen]

Omg haiii sorry to bother but quick question how come sum still have the avatar decoration of the kitty🥲i thought it was like a temporary thing!

[median vigil]

until paralives comes out its a concept to me 😄

[fossil meadow]

I do too because I don't want Inzoi to be the next monopoly but I have so many questions beep

[warm dew]

Honestly, no idea how I still have it

[fossil meadow]

Their livestream for patreons made me have more than less

[median vigil]

in my mind paralives doesnt exist yet until it comes out 😄

[warm dew]

My dog Jenny is indeed named after Jenny from Forrest Gump

[median vigil]

when it comes out we can say its for real 😄

i dont trust them devs

[warm dew]

I will choose to trust em until they release a product

[median vigil]

so far its all rainbow farts and promises 😄

[cunning jacinth]

jennay

[warm dew]

Same way how I trust and volunteer for this discord. I believe in the devs

[median vigil]

rainbow unicorn farts and promises

[steep heart]

same icl

[median vigil]

im interested to know whats gonna happen in this 45 minutes of game play since the games not ready for them to bring out

[fossil meadow]

I'm very in the
I like to see things and if I have concerns, prove me wrong approach
Which like
That's a positive way
Like I like being proved wrong in my doubts

I learn stuff that way

Same with Canvastown and multiplayer for Inzoi
Prove to me why it's a good idea

[median vigil]

they have 45 minutes of content... to show

but cant bring the game out

[steep heart]

at least it's something 😂

[fossil meadow]

TBH the patreon livestream was about 40-50 minutes and It was mostly para cooking, showering, sleeping, going to work, wandering around and I think
Three? conversations that were very short

[steep heart]

im more like the "if it sticks then stick with it" approach

[median vigil]

that was about all that inzoi had when they bought it out but they still brought it out

inzoi was rough behind the edges too

[steep heart]

i mean you kinda can't blame em, they had tremendous amount of pressure with far less to work with

[fossil meadow]

I mean It also had social events, weather and seasons, story progression, cars, gardening and fishing
Which Paralives all lacks right now

[steep heart]

but at the same time all patreon discussions and footage shows me is that lmao, looks pretty but doesn't do much

[fossil meadow]

I don't even think the townies around town have autonomy AI
They seemed scripted

[median vigil]

i thought they had the weather working in paralives so that was a lie then..

when they showed all the seasons working in a video..👀

[fossil meadow]

They walk the same path all day long, every day
Including doing the same exact bugs all day long, every day

[steep heart]

yeesh sounds really rough

[fossil meadow]

No socialising, no interacting with the world, just walking

[median vigil]

thats like some npcs in games 😄

never leave the pattern lol

[fossil meadow]

Yeye any other genre it wouldn't be an issue
But I think life sims it's somewhat expected that characters outside of your own have autonomy AI

Especially for an open world one

[median vigil]

yeh but they brought out the latest videos showing the little boy resting his head comforting his mother and had people fooled it was real gameplay

theres no way they have this game that ready

thats a lie 😄

[fossil meadow]

I saw a comment on reddit saying they have a storyboard feature they use for their trailers and I looked into it myself and 💀 yeah

[median vigil]

yeh its video animation not real game play

its very sus

[fossil meadow]

Likely that early release trailer was mostly done via animation/machinima but not actually tied to gameplay

[steep heart]

hence my "looks pretty but doesn't do much" statement 😂

[fossil meadow]

Like Inzoi DID use a lot of cutscenes, especially early on
But they played during gameplay like sims 2 (I wish they'd bring more of them back )

[median vigil]

they had everyone and their mum in the comments thinking it was real gameplay

[fossil meadow]

Paralives is keyframing in their animations in engine from what I can tell

[median vigil]

they where misleading people..

[fossil meadow]

I DO still want Paralives to succeed but man
The more I've looked into stuff people have flagged as concerns, including other devs from the industry
I feel a storm on the horizon

[median vigil]

the people in the comments where like oh its so realistic how this boy is comforting his mother after the death of granma and im like its a fking video..

not real gameplay

[fossil meadow]

I WANT more games
But
I want more actual games

[median vigil]

i want companies to be straight with people

[steep heart]

people who want the gameplay are gonna be disappointed 😭

[fossil meadow]

I'm mostly holding off until 25th to make a full judgement but I'll admit
I don't feel good

[median vigil]

on what is possible and what isnt...

and stop misleading people

but thats just wishful thinking lol

[fossil meadow]

Like the storyboarding is news from today

from someone talking about patreon and no yeah that patreon post exists

[median vigil]

paralives hides alot behind pateron so the whole world is blind who isnt the small bit of their pateron

[fossil meadow]

"I wanted to show you a tool I made for the game that allows the creation of cutscenes. It’s very useful for us developers to showcase the game, and we used it to make the release date announcement trailer."
Like they HAVE admitted it to Patreons
But like
That was a public trailer

[steep heart]

i find it a little disingenuous to hide everything behind a paywall

[fossil meadow]

That public trailer has no disclaimers or anything

[steep heart]

really obscures the details and reduces any chance of forming trust

[median vigil]

i dont care about cutscenes or how many we have just as long as the world feels more alive

[steep heart]

people will do anything but support the developers if they keep said info hidden

[median vigil]

the more the expansion packs come the more they have to optimize anyway

or it wont run on the pc that great

[fossil meadow]

I'm always against patreon I think it's fine later on in development but it should never be your sole funds
And even if you're getting grants on the side from the government or game orgs, I know first hand how suddenly you can lose that funding
A lot of grants are one time or start ups and others don't have to be renewed even if they're renewable

[median vigil]

also the more cc you add the more you bog the game down too

it isnt just expansion packs

[fossil meadow]

Kickstarter is not perfect by any means but at least you don't have to keep marketing monthly once the campaign is over and you hit your goal

You can just do a check in when needed to share what you've done the past few months

[median vigil]

i dont sub to anything apart from my tidal account online 😄

i dont get suckered into paying for lots of stuff

[fossil meadow]

I sub to feeding cats online

[median vigil]

i just block out the noise.... from people trying to sell me stuff

[fossil meadow]

And spotify

[steep heart]

💯

patreon is so annoying icl

[median vigil]

when i had my old cat i was tempted to try the custom cat food website but she liked the expensive crap the vet was selling me so i kept her on that till she died

and i was being robbed by the vet

on that one but i let it slide 👀

[fossil meadow]

I think it's good as a donation approach rather than a main funder
Like I follow a lot of artists on patreon but a lot of them release their art for free on which ever site then may put their timelapses on patreon
Or you can get mini comics based on the main artwork

which are like
Quickly drawn jokes

[median vigil]

i read the ingrediants on the cat food the vet was selling me and it was nothing special in it to other cat food...

so i let them knowingly rob me on that one...

[median vigil]

i dont use pateron at all and i dont use tiktok either or instagram 😄 if you can believe lol theres actually alot of social media i dont use

[fossil meadow]

I paid some modders for sims back in the day but that was like creators like lumpinou
Never felt I HAD to pay them to get access to anything but I used their mods so much I may as well pay them

They gave me hours of gameplay for the sims

And I wasn't using one mod like RPO
I was using practically their whole mod library

[median vigil]

i use to use to use facebook years ago but i got tired of keeping up with what little timmy was having for breakfast and lunch i got bored of peoples daily routines on there

[steep heart]

I use patreon for like a single platform service and that's about it, Instagram I check like once in every 2 months or something, never used tiktok app at all

I always end up deleting Instagram cause it's kinda useless info

[fossil meadow]

Reddit and tumblr are the only social medias I still use but I think
For reddit, if you write a big essay on it that makes sense, people love it and I can get essay writing out my system
Tumblr has the world's worst algorithm and it's nice to escape heavily ad driven algorithm sites

[narrow rock]

damn those are some cozy pics dude

[median vigil]

my instagram account started off about me but then i turned it into my cat tribute page 😄

when she died

and i just go there to look at the old pics now

[ruby nacelle]

thanks

playing some SC

with the new ship i got

[fossil meadow]

On instagram I once followed a small song artist on there and they went through my backlog of pictures, which was mostly my cat
And then commented "Who is this diva" about my cat and that was the extent of my instagram use

[median vigil]

mine are all of my cat now i removed all my pics of me and what i was doing

its just a tribute page now

i remade the whole thing just for me to go back and look

just another back up of her pics

incase anything happen to them in google photos or something i dont know

[median vigil]

i use to follow cat accounts when i made the account all about my cat

[narrow rock]

oh boy... 🤔

[median vigil]

45 seconds of gameplay more like i dont know about 45 minutes 😄

[steep heart]

I use Instagram for mostly IRL stuff (and maybe a few cat pictures)

[median vigil]

let them surprise us 👀

[fossil meadow]

This was my cat who got called a diva #share-your-pet message

[narrow rock]

Dude at this point you might as well do like cooking/baking workshop or small sales on the side, instead of solo running a tech repair shop 😅

[ruby nacelle]

[median vigil]

hes a house wife 😛

leave him alone

[ruby nacelle]

i dont have a wife yet

maybe one day

[narrow rock]

👀

[fossil meadow]

You're your own wife

[median vigil]

your wife will be lucky one day she wont go hungry

[ruby nacelle]

[median vigil]

she will eat you out of house and home

and come for your eyes and nose lmao😂

[narrow rock]

Gingerbread witch?

[median vigil]

if she eats all his cooking he might be for desert lmao

[narrow rock]

gotta fatten him up

[fossil meadow]

I used to hated gingerbread so much as a child but as an adult I'm like
You know what
It's really good
I'm making the houses and people now as an adult

[median vigil]

what you on about 😄

[fossil meadow]

HATE

I meant hate

[narrow rock]

Henry is about to cast some spells

[fossil meadow]

It's starting to get late

[median vigil]

henry can you cook?

[fossil meadow]

What do I mean starting
It's 1 am

[median vigil]

yeh im going to sleep soon too

[narrow rock]

sleep tight guys

[fossil meadow]

I can turn on the stove and put things on to make them hotter but I am not a chef

[ruby nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/desmondpacito-cooking-chef-gif-12378159

[median vigil]

yeh i'm not a chef either and i never pretend to be 😄 i just cook for me and i eat it all lol

[fossil meadow]

I have a disability that effects my hand eye coordination though so cooking is like a sport for me

Me holding a knife, sweating as I try to work out where my hand ends and where the vegetable starts

[median vigil]

that doesnt sound good i get nervous with my ninja knifes...

they are really sharp

[fossil meadow]

"Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" but it's things I can injure when holding sharp things

[median vigil]

objects in the mirror look distant to me but thats the way i like it

[fossil meadow]

It's also why I can't drive

I can't multi task and multi tasking means for me is using my feet and hands at the same time

So pedalling on a bike is a no go too

[median vigil]

i dont drive i use to drive but i dont have to now

[fossil meadow]

When I CAN pedal but I can't steer at the same time

[median vigil]

i also use to take the train for 2 hours and i dont have to now

[fossil meadow]

I live by train tbh

[median vigil]

i use to go miles for work

[fossil meadow]

reluctant to use a bus because they just sometimes don't show up

[median vigil]

my neighbour goes to the shop around the corner in his car...

[fossil meadow]

Sometimes my train does that too and it's like
WHERE DID IT GO
THIS IS A ONE WAY LINE

[median vigil]

and its only 10 strides away...

he goes everywhere in the car no matter the distance 😄

on the weekend ive seen him come and go over 20 times

[fossil meadow]

[median vigil]

in the last hour lol

in and out more then a yoyo...

[median vigil]

trains as a whole in uk are terrible

i know all too well..

because where i live they are always cancelled...

or delayed

[median vigil]

its a mystery how anything works in uk

and there was one place i worked at...

and they where using windows xp...

and one time i was at the train station and i saw a windows blue screen 😄

[steep heart]

trains in america aren't that different 💀

but they try to accomodate

[median vigil]

oh no its terrible there also 😄

more people in america

[reef vine]

@ruby heart

[median vigil]

how can it not be ...

more people fighting for the same resources...

[steep heart]

the other problem is that it's far less preferred than say buses or taxis so it becomes quite neglected

subways are notorious for that 💀 i really dread using them

[median vigil]

public transport isnt a mess all over the world though

some countries have all their facts in order

[steep heart]

yup

[median vigil]

its only sheep 😄

better for it to be sheep then train robbers 😛

like back in the day 😄

[fossil meadow]

Also I GOTTA SLEEP

Night night everyone

[median vigil]

you been saying that for ages now 😄

[fossil meadow]

If I don't go now I'll keep yapping

[median vigil]

i will too 😄

[median vigil]

i can yapp forever 🙂

[fossil meadow]

It's a very British thing to be like
"WELP I should be going now" Talks for another 30 minutes

[median vigil]

i know it is and we are both british which makes it worse

[fossil meadow]

We're locked in social expectation and being too polite to escape it

[steep heart]

i feel like i also experience that in america but with relatives and parents

[median vigil]

that is exactly what it is :S

ok i will be the one who says it and means it im going bed now 😄

[fossil meadow]

People have pointed out Paralives livestream is pre-recorded it's premiering rather than going live on youtube
I was hoping it'd be an actual livestream like the one on discord

You have to have a video already recorded to upload a premiere

[pliant tree]

You mean that absolute train wreck they had?

More like that?

[fossil meadow]

It says going live when it's an actual livestream

[fossil meadow]

I was hoping to compare the two because people keep saying they could fix everything I saw in two weeks which unlikely

It IS supposed to still be 45 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay though

[pliant tree]

Meh Ive lost all interest at this point.

Was really looking foward to it but lost interest after the delays.

[worn wolf]

I mean, i could watch the original discord one cause somebody reuploaded and then compare the two, but im not that invested in paralives to begin with 😅

[scarlet hearth]

-# When I recorded my gameplay of something I did like hours in several takes to have everything go perfectly...

[fossil meadow]

Though looking back at Paralives posts I don't think they actually ever said /live/stream
Just stream

But I think most people associate streaming with live streams nowadays

[worn wolf]

I mean, the pateron one wasnt actually live either, just a reupload

[pliant tree]

Where did you see this? I thought it was taken down and hidden behind a paywall.

[worn wolf]

But I dont get why theyre doing a stream instead of just reiploading one they have?

Are they gonna pretend all the "bad parts" dont exist and just edit it out??

[worn wolf]

It's in the deep corners of the internet

Can't post a link though

[fossil meadow]

It was recorded live with a chat on discord though

People actually saw it live on discord

It's who the livestreamer refers to in chat

[pliant tree]

Why not?

[fossil meadow]

So it was a livestream they just reuploaded it on patreon
Like how a lot of Twitch streamers reupload on youtube

[worn wolf]

Incredibly infested with questionable ads

She just tried make him go home and it was literally unrountable 😬

She had to teleport him inside

[scarlet hearth]

-# I'll play it with an open-ended adventure game in mind

[worn wolf]

It's bad. Even when it's routable he walked through furniture and he just glitched out of the chair while standing up

4 bugs in less than 1 minute of stream time isnt a good sign

Paralives will be good if it was just a character maker and house decorator, but i dont imagine many people will be too happy about it. However, thats literally the only way I can see them ready for the may release window

[median vigil]

i think thats exactly what they mean to do thats why its not live so they can edit it to death and hope noone is non the wiser

alot of shady tricks going on 👀

[wheat merlin]

I think I was sighting too long of inZOI. Now I had a nice lucid dream last night of inZOI and Harry Potter caats in VR. And then I got interrupted from my Samsung.

[broken quiver]

Yikes. I'm going to wait, I got too many games.

[worn wolf]

Yeah, same. I'm only getting paralives if I actually see a good, playable game

[scarlet hearth]

Eh... that dream... is not far from reality here I'm learning UE for inZOI and Hogwarts Legacy

[wheat merlin]

My gosh his/her comment is down voted so bad to negative 90. Anonymous moderator deleted comment. I haven't reported anything. 😭 Oh well,, glad drama is phased out.

[wheat merlin]

Yeah, the more you sight a lot. The chase you'll dream about it.. ☺️

[broken quiver]

Lol the last comment. 😆

[pliant tree]

"Shirt with pants" LMAO

[tough jolt]

I bought an early access game called Hotel Galactic. It is riddled with bugs and is absolutely unplayable ( it was $30 bucks too, for a bug ridden game that wasn't anywhere near ready for release even in early access). When the "small team of devs" tried to fix one bug, they ended up creating a whole slew of others. What the game did have was very pretty graphics and the devs were giving away stickers and art books to people who donated to whatever platform these devs beg for money on. And now they've gone mysteriously quiet on their Discord, popping in every so often when players start grumbling too loud about their silence. All of it is eerily similar to Paralives...

[scarlet hearth]

-# And maybe Wolcen... although at the end it was playable. I remember some game's patch note mentioning it's like whack a mole

[worn wolf]

Ngl I waited to play inzoi too. But was pleasantly surprised lol

[fossil meadow]

It took me a long time to be onboard with Inzoi
I thought it was legit because Krafton is a legit publisher
But I needed to see the content creators play to know it was for me

Yeah I'm just weary playing early access games

[broken quiver]

is this in Canada? lol that's almost a month's rent in my city (I'm not in Toronto/Vancouver). i think. LOL they should be paying me to cat sit. lol.

[worn wolf]

Yeah

[broken quiver]

Rent's about 1500/month here lol

[worn wolf]

And Toronto rent is like $2.2k a month 💀

On avarage

[broken quiver]

oh i just saw a listing for $1k HAHAHA

[worn wolf]

All that $1k will get you here is a bedroom

Not a one bedroom apartment, but just a single bedroom

[broken quiver]

I guess that is what happens when you live in a popular city

supply/demand

hmm that 1K was an anomaly but it's generally 1500. we don't have rent control in Alberta. so it can increase after your lease ends

but power is more expensive here, so maybe it's a wash lol

[median vigil]

So you can live with somebody else's parents bedroom 😂

The prices in Canada is ridiculous but the prices in uk are stupid expensive too

I've seen out of curiosity

[worn wolf]

Everywhere is expensive to be honest

Except maybe remote villages

[median vigil]

That is true Australia I've seen is expensive too

Have you seen the prices of living in New Zealand 😂

Made my eyes water

[scarlet hearth]

-# $310 a month here... entire house 3br

[median vigil]

I think mine is about 700 a month if I was to rent it out it's 3br

The third is a box room not big enough to swing a cat

[scarlet hearth]

I think the previous ppl did that haha, 2 out of the 3 are small

[median vigil]

Yeh it's more like a 2br and a box 😂

But I shove my junk in that room

Australia is about to ban under 16 years access social media. One week to go...

[narrow rock]

Doubt it will work 🤔

[ruby nacelle]

it will

websites will be doing what the UK does

age checks

and you can face jail time if you get caught

so discord will now be 16 is Australia

[narrow rock]

Who knows in the long run really 🤔
As there's already security issues and stuff, no? 🤔

Also vpn usage gonna spike even more 😅

Also real deep talk, 16 isn't enough to stop the social media/online addiction rabbit hole.
Need to be like 11.

[worn wolf]

Should become the norm everywhere tbh

Minors shouldn't be online

[narrow rock]

I unfortunately know kids young as 10 regularly viewing tiktok and YouTube :/

[worn wolf]

My brother is 7 and watches youtube, although my parents only allow him to watch youtube kids

Looks like other countries are also considering it

Probbaly gonna eventually become the norm like how gay marriage got legalized

[narrow rock]

Some are taking small steps first, rather than diving into the deep end fyi. They're starting out with a ban at schools first.

[worn wolf]

Though personally I had a Facebook account since I was 11, but back then I only used it to play Facebook games like most people my age 🤣

[narrow rock]

Like the problem with governments and institutions not being fully ready for the nation wide ban is pretty evident, when you see the news about data breaches etc.

[worn wolf]

EU banner people under 13 and Florida is banning under 14 starting in January

[cunning jacinth]

no polly ticks but also can't you just VPN around the walls?

[worn wolf]

And if the social media companies fail to uphold it, they can be liable for millions of dollars

[worn wolf]

Bruh, minors arent smart enough to hide the fact theyre minors, what makes you think they know to use a VPN 😭

[narrow rock]

I know, just stating facts/recent news, and yeah vpn usage spiked in those places... 🤔

I think 14+ is old enough these days to be kinda tech savvy in using vpns

Also bunch of new mobile vpn services pops up etc.

[worn wolf]

Well, if you take the sims community into account, they really arent 💀

Nerves will be floppy though 🤔

It will probably look like a gillysuit

Also, apspearantly character ai is banning minors even thiugh they were insistent on catering to them

Currently they have a 2 hour a day time limit to wean em off until an actual ban

Which makes sense since most of em had severe addiction

That site is cursed and sus af

Always has been shady

With the whole stealing likeness and stuff as well

Oh it's on Sims. So much drama about a banned subject on this server. I just wanna say I like to support devs and not get hit with viruses and that community comments are basically implying whoever buys things are idiots.

I do not buy every DLC cuz they're not worth it and do my research

Honestly I got too much on my computer to risk getting viruses

Vermont Curry is the brand I usually get

[ruby nacelle]

its quick and easy but tasteless

[warm dew]

Whaaaaaaa

Golden Curry is a good brand too

[ruby nacelle]

with mine i add sweet chilli and mango chuckney

[warm dew]

I usually add the typical beef, potato, carrot, and onion. Then I pair it with rice and kimchi

Kimchi is really good with Japanese curry

Trust

[ruby nacelle]

my brothers dont like kimchi

so i dont add it in

if it was just me i would

[warm dew]

I wouldnt add it in

I would have on the side like a side dish

i can't live independently

because i zone out a lot

[warm dew]

Me too

[pliant tree]

Wow so I was looking at EA's new soccer game FC26. Its on sale half price, still 35 bucks, but wow is it ever getting review bombed!

I just wonder how much of that comes from hatred for EA themselves.

[warm dew]

What do the negative reviews look like?

[pliant tree]

It seems like alot of them are actually based in 'reality' stuff about gameplay isssues and control issues esp with online play.

I mean some of it is obviousj rage bait but there are alot of seemingly valid complaints. So Ill give it a pass. Shame.

[warm dew]

Even with "rage bait" comments, there is often valid complaints within

[pliant tree]

Yea when you see 'overwhelmingly negative" and the thing goes on sale for half price less than a year from release..

[warm dew]

Funny enough there are places in JP and TW(not sure about KR), that you can buy freshly brand store Curries(that last for 3 days frozen). Better than supermarket frozen ones 🤔

[warm dew]

Hmmmmm idk i will have to check when I go back to Korea

I am in the states rn visiting family

[narrow rock]

I remember. But yeah check for me, I'm too lazy to even google it atm 😂 😂

[steep heart]

[worn wolf]

Anyways, I got some tea 👀

So everybidy knows about the EA buyout by now

However, it seems the sims team keeps releasing article after article promising time and time again to fix the game, and that theyre listening, and bluh bluh

And also they started doing consistent Q&A on the discord

And also the fact that literally nobody talked about their latest kits

So, it appears that EA is 10000% struggling with the sales

Could this be the end of the sims franchise?

[steep heart]

ts possible, its definitely an era of stagnation for EA

and that buyout is making people boycott it for rather obvious reasons

[ruby nacelle]

[median vigil]

soon tm

[ruby nacelle]

this is for my new watercooling kit

[median vigil]

atleast youll get it in time for christmas

[median vigil]

where did you order it from half way across the world? if that happen to me id cancel order and find another company to buy all from

[ruby nacelle]

na

its UK company

but corsair has all their stock on back order

[median vigil]

thats kinda a disgusting wait time i wouldnt do it but hopefully youll get in time for christmas

[ruby nacelle]

blame corsair

not the company

[median vigil]

you are buying it right from the source and no third party if you bought from third party maybe youd get it faster i can see why you have to wait then

[ruby nacelle]

this is a 3rd party website

[median vigil]

yeh but that cooler kit is available on other shops in uk..

[ruby nacelle]

its not

iv checked them all

their all pre orders

[median vigil]

then if its preorder i guess you will have to wait till christmas and just be patient 😛

[ruby nacelle]

as i stated

i blame corsair for the back order

cosair is the company that makes the components

[median vigil]

i see a link kit available on afew stores but it cant be the one your looking for

i have a corsair watercooler 360 but its not link kit

[ruby nacelle]
