hi
welcomes
Ah a fellow truck driver. Except that truck looks kinda funny!
also ngl is MSFS24 worth it cuz i already have MSFS20 (also my pc is probably slightly outdated for it)
Been flyin 2024 since it released on a varity of machines. Never had any problems running it.
If you can run Inzoi you can run msfs2024.
Here is what trucks are supposed to look like!
American truck simulator ?
Yea.... @lunar elbowdrives ETS
its a Foton Auman
Oh its named funny too!
its a chinese truck
in ETS i have 1500 h but im stopped playing . I want to play ATS alone some time
i have 1600 h in inzoi
Id try ETS but Ive got a good deal invested in expansions!
the only reason im playing ets now is bc of this brazil mod
im going now to playing this
Another 'cozy' game.. okay have fun! ๐
Im kinda burned out on the cozy games. After a while they all seem the same.
something keeps crashing ets ๐
Ima take a wile guess and say the Brazil mod.
it probably is lol
i blame Sรฃo Paulo, it crashes a lot around there
Do they have weigh stations in ETS?
i feel like it might also be something with one of my traffic packs]
i can check and see if there is on my save that is actually in europe
Oh you would know if you have like any time at all in it.
In ATS it seems like they always pop up just as you finally get your load up to speed.
"Please pull over for inspection"... sigh....
i have a mod that gives you a 0% chance of having to go through those
Thats too much of a 'cheat' for my taste. But okay.
not in every country it seems
switzerland has some but i dont think they're like in ATS
Ive only got like 4 or so mods in my game and cant remember the last time I crashed.
most of them seem to be at border crossings though
i have 70 mods on ATS, a good amount of them are just truck and trailer skin packs
maybe like 20-30 idk
maybe more
and you wonder why you keep crashing! ๐
When I drop this load Ill check how many hours Ive got in ATS but I know its a ridiculous number.
Out of all those hours I really dont recall crashing anywhere.
i decided to try and play sims 4 after 2 years and my god... never been so stressed
after updating 2 gameplay mods, i gave up. couldn't even get in my household house ๐
Im gonna venture a guess and say that like after 2 years most likely your gonna have to start over.
I want that but for a whole city
let me rebuild a town board by board and turn it into a metropolis everyone loves
most definitely, i didn't realize how many mods i had.. thinking about starting over atp
Id get rid of all the mods too while your at it . Start over with all of those. Many are probably outdated or no longer supported.
my unfinished home
all of the cc i have omg, my heart
Well after twon years it can be really hard to tell what is viable and what is not.
You can pack them in zip or 7z if you don't use them and take them out
nice
i used to play ATS a lot in 2022 and 2023
My main driver has over 4 million in the bank
mostly in Washington and Oregon
i dont know how much my main driver has lol
I'll play next week at ATS . you talked me into it
yup
in ATS I think I've driven at least once in every state
only majority explored California lmao
is that the EAA map?
Well since alot of the stats have not been yet released... ๐
oops meant to say every state currently in-game ๐คฃ
Ats have canada ?
nah but there's a few mods for that iirc
one of them is promods (best quality) which has Vancouver and some other areas of BC
lmao have fun fr
but i dont have steering wheel
-# just a heads up the base game i believe only has california nevada and arizona, so you might need to acquire the other map dlcs for the Canada mods to work
oh atm I use mouse steering ๐
it works quite well surprisingly
Any questions just ask I have close to 600 hours in it now.

no, it's the Mapa BR Brasil map

Some imbecile on the disney+ app wrote you're instead of your while writing subtitles. He needa be fired ๐
Aka "you're name is funny enough" ๐
How in the hell did I miss this ๐ญ
Welp back to work. Nothing changed...
as for me, back to dbd
why is my truck louder when its im on the rear camera far away from the engine versus when im on the inside camera
make it make sense
hey @lunar elbow
hey
I traveled to South Korea because I was so inspired by the cityscapes depicted in inZOI. I was amazed to find that the subway stations look exactly as they are portrayed in the game! I also took a quick photo in front of the KRAFTON company headquarters.
Cahaya looks a lot like southeast Asia too ๐
Inzoi ๐
not until the update
believe me, i want to
but if i have to start over i dont wanna be extra pissed
ive still made no decision though ๐
Fair fair enough maybe dbd then
considering overwatch cause jetpack cat soon~
This is awesome!!! How cool, I'd love to travel to S Korea one day. Do they use as many kiosks as they do in the game? lol
What other similarities did you find between the cityscape of Dowon and Seoul?

Nyami~ sowwy I was (actually it was really the hair lol) just jk with Minai
-# And she was hushing me apparently, she's been missing in the past few days
thanks for clarifying, ive had anxiety about my boy lately
just like in general
Need Help
verify those game files to make sure everything got downloaded. also Win Shift S for the snipping tool so you don't get doxxed haha
lastly, this is off-topic. you might want #gameplay-questions or to report a bug
Found a Bug?
Consider reporting about it at the official support center or the InZOI Forum
You can also visit the https://discord.com/channels/1162040845181124618/1356067911705563288 channel for a comprehensive guide on what to do when you encounter one!
Dowon basically captures the vibe of the Gangnam area. Most of the kiosks are in the tourist markets, but there are plenty on the normal streets as well.
Hello mods

-#
The weather is getting hot

Lord.... sigh
No joke in the coming months or in the coming years, they will be able to require the ID on other applications
my MFA is FaceID 
hi?
hi dath cookies
hello ๐
why not wait until the new one?
Imagine seeing this as a medieval peasant
Yea thats why Im hesitating.
Thats why airlines and shippers in general hate Lipo batterys.
Is this fire? It looks cool but scary
Yeah, either copper or boron fire
Someone may have flushed it down the toilet. And since the sewers are also filled with flammable methane, it somehow ignited and became this
Oh yikes!
Looks like a Lipo Battery 'fire' or more accuratly a thermal run away to me.
But yea scary once started it cannot be stopped! Burns very very hot too.
why is discord making it so that you need a ID?
I dont know that they are tbh.
Maybe in some countries cracking down on youth access.
Whats going on with roblox has alot of online providers scared.
when did fields of mistria add rock enemies hurdling towards you and rock enemies spitting bombs at you 
rip likee 50+ of my health for finding that out now
Huh I thought that was one of those 'comfy' games?
it is. i havent played it in a minute tho so i got thrown off by the diappearing enemies and getting bombs thrown at me by enemies in the mines LOL
Mmm okay. Never played it myself. Have fun!
its like stardew but early access
ehh
unless the report app I used is functionally useless
for some reason there's two make a report apps

yeah im slowly thinking that report feature Darth mentioned is useless
๐ญ
it should ping the mod team
unless it doesn't then that's a bummer
o aight

-# pinging mod team must be equivalent to an air raid siren at this point
if we get more of these ill crash out
@steep heart
looks like no US mods are online

lmfao
well I got warned to not use the mods ping unless its for very dire circumstances
this is probably not a dire circumstance
Sorry for the delay. Thanks for the spam warning 
The problem with 'reporting' a post, which should actually be your first course of action but thing is it only goes to whatever mod's are on 'duty' atm and may actually go by un noticed.
But if its solicitation or harmfull and really spam yea you should alert the mods with an @ moderator ๐ That pings em all wether their paying attention or not.
But remember!!!
lol
How's the weight loss
How much is less to lose now
11kg
Oh well I think you will do it ๐
I'm hungry just thinking about your weight loss ๐คฃ
I'll have to have some sponge cake and custard now
I had a ribeye steak dinner earlier
Nice
It was tasty tasty very very tasty
I almost forgot I had cake playing games distracted me ๐
I had Chinese last night chicken curry with rice

And it had mushrooms in it I hate mushrooms I had to fish them out ๐ญ
Other then that it was yummy
Not a total let down
Little china woman came to the door to deliver it
Dam
Reading the menu in funky half Chinese half English is the icing on the cake ๐
I've got a virus it's called microslop ๐ญ
And it keeps getting worse over time ๐คง
......
I don't know all I buy from temu is cheap crap
And I spend too much on Amazon too ๐ญ
Microslop all over the internet
Just buy from a proper computer parts shop ๐ญ
I feel like I've seen this void pic before
You did a while ago
It feels like a few days ago
Hey @scarlet hearth
-# The one without hand and flash I think
You still driving trucks
Beep Beep!
Haha they used to play that in an.. ahem.. gentleman's club I went to a looooong time ago ๐
This looks lovely... the weather mod thing 
Does look cool. Probably wreaks havok with your schedules if your playin career.
i love when ats/ets2 always blocks off at least one major road for long hauls so its almost like inevitable deviation/delay
You mean like they police baracades? I drive around them sometimes ๐
yup that's me as well lmao
but the rare helicopter variant makes that impossible (obviously)
so i am looking at my sims 2 game right now...honestly i feel like it looks so ugly now :C
i am spoiled by inzoi..
never thought i would get to this point
it feels weird
-# I thought that was Minai for a sec
oh geez silent hill is 50% off
will probably get that after fixing my mods...ive wanted to play silent hill since forever but was too young and lacked the console and now i have a chance on pc in HD lol
silent hill 2 remake or f?
remake of 2
After a long time, I'm back in Sims 4 CC fever. Thank you, @summer holly , for motivating me. This will be my first dress. What can I say... I had to learn everything from scratch because I forgot so much, but I didn't forget how to download CC. Thanks to Remus for the skin and to @scarlet hearth for the beautiful hair ๐ฉท
I'm doing S4, too
-# I think that's S-Club hair 
Oh, sorry, ๐ ๐ but I downloaded your hairstyle too ๐
I know you make Sims 4 CC, so I still know you ๐ค
First sim in ages
because I missed it ๐ฉท
same tbh
Sims 2 is the best sims game imo
still playing it
I also started with Sims 2 back then ๐
i can't do 4. its too 'clay' lol
That's why I switched to alpha ๐
alpha in a clay world though ๐ญ
like this
-# While I do alpha it feels a bit at odd with the rest of the game
it does, another reason i went back to ts2
tldr sims 4 aint for me
lol
i just crave realism
I couldn't create anything for Sims 3, I only created for Sims 2 and Sims 4
sims 3 is where i started
well with modding
i have been a simmer since 1 was the only one out
Sims 3 was the first game where I started modding
I started in 2006 with Sims 2 ๐
you are also younger than me ๐คฃ
I still remember Sims 1 ๐
same
finally feeling like my sims 2 is less ugly...i think it was just a shock at first XD
to switch back to dem old graphics lol
That's because we're too spoiled by inzoi.
ngl i think my ts2 henry creel (sim i posted) looks a bit better than my zoi ๐ญ
like he looks more LIKE him
sims 2 got so many great mods in the last few year
graphic ones, new interactions, sliders
my zoi of rupert just cant be beat though lol hottest zoi ever
though my sim is cute too x3
I'm looking at my old cc's right now. I'd like to create furniture for Inzoi, but I can't do that yet. I still have to learn how ๐
Still sad about the fact tsr kicked you when you just learned how to create furniture
it was too expensive for tsr ๐
My Henry sim xD
Please Kjun bring back the AR Talk Feature where you are Bora and it shows your Trainee God Rank and how many followers you have and you can AI Chat with Psycat and to be able to ask Henri the HR Manager Questions and Even get to talk to the CEO of the AR Company.

MY ADBLOCK IS FAILING NOOOOOOOO
I saw that on reddit yesterday lol
He's fantastic! ๐
He wouldn't move while I was loading the AC inside. ๐
was it on?
the fly thinking this Eldritch being that controls the flow of air is walking around and his tiny little fly mind was boggled
his flabber was gasted
Morning all
Hamster probably
yes, this is where you are 
You sure? Looks can be decieving!
<@&1174874646760407162> This person is spamming in all the channels.
this can be considered spam
bro I'm RIGHT HERE lol
ty tho didn't notice the others
Haha okay
Wait, youre a mod? ๐ค
No hes a board director ๐

That cat must be on drugs!
Never seen such a compliant feline.
The drama on that sub bruh ๐ญ
Thats 100% a breakup if ive ever seen one ๐

Okay... and?
Anyone else been addicted to wwm? Add me if you like 
I played it for a while Burned out pretty quck and when I realized the micro payments I noped out.
But there are / were a few here who play.
If you dont do the multiplay aspect it gets old pretty fast.
But youโre missing out ๐ญ
I have dozens of hours into it. Nah thanks.
Come back in march a lot more content!
Its okay like I said there are some others here that still play.
was, havent touched it since tbh
Im like if I see "Free to play" yea thats a big red flag to me.
i mean most f2p have in game transactions
so not really a red flag unless you really wanna spend the money
you dont have to be p2p
Okay I feel like the only red flag are the prices and the gacha system but you arenโt required to buy any of the outfits. I donโt play the gacha system unless I have free melodies
like lads you can be f2p if you choose may just lose out on stuff
Yeah people are just having a fomo with gacha games
Ive tried a number of F2P games in the past and they all use the same stratigy.
Lure them in with the base game stuff, then start tempting them with 'offers'..
Well jinnies if you get back on let me know so we can play together!
sure! probably wont be anytime soon tho kinda burnt out on games
I guess Iโm not burnt out yet because I started in January I think while everyone else started in November ๐ญ
The outfit looks nice...
-# A tad pricey?
The only temptation Iโve had was the gacha but Iโve learned my lesson from lads

i still play lads but im waiting on vip confirmation
Yes 2k-5k for those echo shop outfits 
VIP for lads?
Spend a certain amount and they consider you vip. which all it is is specialized help and maybe some merch
I spent 600 on lads and havenโt been invited to anything v.v I guess I wasnโt whale enough for them
I also do gacha on other games without paying... do lads give out currency for those?
its like thousands more than hundreds lol
thousands????
yes, tho you gotta like work for diamonds, there is a lunar new year banner going on currently
Iโve probably spent 1k
jESUS GAWD!
ive been playing since day 1 so i prob have like 2k at some point
but not all at once
1k over like two years thatโs not that bad โฆ right ? e.e
no its not bad haha. esp if you get paid regularly
Hrm Imagine how much food that would be.
I still find it hard to see folks spending large sums of money on intangible items!
Might as well just burn it.
personal choice no need to judge.
its like how youd spend money to see your favorite artist in concert
Yea I wonder how much money I wasted on Cigarettes over the years. SMH
Well I usually spend 800 a month on food
ill add you tho when i get home bubbles. Wifi sucks at college to be able to do it here
Of course plus less games to be addicted to is better for your study lol
-# im basically in class like all day 
Well Iโm sure it will be worth it 
rip the last couple semesters before i graduate
Yay a few sounds good!
hay hay
Ooff update to the trucking sim today. Reset a buncha stuff. Now has a stupid speedometer I cant figure out how to get rid of and a buncha of annoying tool tips.
Cmon I have hundreds of hours in the sim yes I know how to turn the GD lights on ๐
isn't the speedometer useful so you get to points on time and don't get pulled over? is police action even a thing in that sim lol
I have a speedometer in my truck thanks. dont need a second one ๐
Plus it covers up the drivers side lower mirror and the fuel level display is just flat wrong.
and oh yea I get tickets all of the time. Turns on red, accidents, speeding, etc.
It just pops up and says you got a ticket and fines you.
YOU LITERALLY DO HAVE ONE WTH
It all used to be displayed in the rectangular UI in the lower right.
Guess they felt they had to add this too... sigh..
Wouldโve been smarter to put it in the top left
I posted in the truck sim Discord see if I cant turn it off or go back to the old UI
Every truck is different. It was just sheer luck how it covers the mirror.
OH found a way to turn it off.
Better!
is that the new UI for 1.58?
I can help with this. It is something you can turn off and on. Also, hi. I'm D. A. I have community convoy nights every 1st Wednesday and 3rd Saturday of the month. I love ATS
annnddd, of course, a spam bot shows up
seems like a scam
yup, no clicky
indeed
just looking at that intersection makes me think of St. Joseph MO
Bah thats not that bad unless you have a 50 footer on the back.
Oh... LOL that was mine... heh Im gonna go buy that garage.
lol yeah
let me show you St. Joseph's interchange coming into the city rq
its whatever this thing is
pure american infrastructure
sigh this is another 20 or so hours lol
Fresno gives it a run
oh hey look a walmart
indeed there is
Heh 'real buisness' mod.
real business and real ad has made the whole thing hit different for me
sigh
i had both but i think i turned off real ads cuz i thought it was crashing my game
not on ETS2
ATS
Need something like this for INzoi
it was my weather mod
whats stopping you from making your business a real company
unless maybe they dont allow you to add custom textures
Well employees not working for one thing. But this is OT so...
Oh yea havent seen any 'custom' buisnesses.
overwatch = not fun anymore
i tried
i tried and tried and TRIED
it got too competitive and fast paced
it hasnt been fun since the days of the original ow LOL
absolutely
and i used to play comp
not me lol
I start slowin down when the lane assist starts acting up ๐
dath would say different in ow as he comps regularly
dang
My nephews used to play OW competitively. One of them was some sorta 'celebrity' but they burned out on it too.
i feel like i just dont have the brain for it
B rain... heh
point proven lmao
screw it, i'm passing on double yellows whites
-# its supposed to rain here 
It probably will here too. Warmed up alot so rain is immanent.
yikes...
How it is here Warms up rains and gets cold.
It starts raining like every day here in late march into april.
Then summer sets in ๐
at least ill get to see snow on my bday 
Going somewhere?
Family and I Usually go up to the national park on the weekend of my bday
i finally found a sign that tells me what state im in now
I think it says "State of Confusion".
Nice have a good time and enjoy it.
now this seems a lot more like Brazil
it's sunny and warm enough for snow to melt
I'm baffled
not in the high mountains 
-# You can play ATS online? is that racing or just hanging out
daath. close cousin!
Yup. It's called having a convoy. I have them regularly in my community. We can all take on the same job or separate jobs. It's a fun time!
If wanted, I can post my mod list that I have for ATS. I have 5 I run personally that haven't crashed me out, including a weather mod one.
Saw brutal weather that looks fun to play in first person
brutal weather is great for people who sit in the cab, and i think they finally balanced out how THICC the fog is but if you are an outside the cab driver (which i am) i definitely recommend this one...
We must ban Jin from stealing cats
It has a couple of multiplayer features.
Some sorta co op buisness thing and a convoy.
Ive never done either so thats about all I know.
i am now in Rondรดnia, the final state i must go through to go to my destination (Pimenteiras do Oeste)
Oh I play that game a lot
Scoops Ahoy uniforms for Sims 2. These were a HASSLE!
I'm super proud of how they turned out.
Add more drama... Welp I already have drama in reality...
ngl the angle made me think spam xD
who's ready for TES VI in 2033
who knows ๐ซ
Elder Scrolls I think
and wow 2033 thats a ways out wonder if Ill be alive to see it!
The Elder Scrolls 6
so did they
thank goodness we have fallout 76 /s
I havent seen anything comming up that really excites me.
I tried some new air combat game and was so dissapointed.
I think Ive returned 2 out of every three games Ive tried in the last 6 months.
-# Old Leon coming later this month
Anybody here got any tips on how to stop feeling like you got ran over by a truck after coming down from hypoglycemia? ๐ฅฒ
Sims 4 ads are always spam ๐
Starsand Island releases today, early access though
I thought the demo was adorable so I will be playing this today and the InZoi update tomorrow 
ive seen the ad to this before tho the opening of the ad kinda throws you off tho
Oh I don't think I've seen the ad! What throws it off?
beginning mostly doesnt make me think its a farm sim LOL
also graphics kinda give honkai a little bit
different dev ik
just what it gives haha
Yeah you're right! Lol
ill prob check it out tho, waiting for a switch game to drop
I recall now which trailer you're talking about and it doesn't give cozy farm Sim initially lol
do i get the regular or deluxe hmmmm
I say go with regular, the deluxe content is very themed lol
It kinda looks similar to My Time at Portia, I am probably not the audience for that genre, so to speak though
It is similar but the Portia series are way better. I'm only going by the Starsand demo though lol It was cute but I don't think it's adding anything groundbreaking to the genre
I'm only getting it because I collect farm sim and cozy games like a little hamster lool
I think the only game I managed to like in that genre was Dinkum, which is okay, but having your island expanded after a certain size starts to drag the game down, which kinda made me put the game away for a bit. wonder if they've come around it by now.
i just need another game to play till the inzoi update
and till tomodatchi life drops
Same! lol
the wait till april isnt long but it feels like it is
i tried dinkum once never again 
thats as much as i could play tbh
Uh-oh
did a save file betray you?
or was it the crocs?
I didn't play much Dinkum either, the art style was too orange for me lol
i just was not able to play it again personally didnt keep my attention
The same thing happened to me with Fantasy Life, it didn't keep my attention, even though it's not a bad game at all
It sounds like me attempting to play Valheim. There is a good portion who simp for that game, saying it has endless content and build modes, but like... my char's constantly getting killed. How am I ever going to see build mode more advanced than a hut with a chair made of straw
-# first impression i like the ability to edit your mc to your liking , tho i accidentily made them spin too fast
Yeh it's hard to go around that, when Dinkum's middle name might as well be Orange.
I went with the fem MC but the male mc is 
For Valheim?
No starsand
I guess its cute. To me it looks like yet another cozy sim trying to cash in on the current cozy sim rage.
They all kinda look the same and worse yet have the same gameplay.
Eh people like cozy sims tbh something to play while waiting for other things
Oh they have achievements already 
I know I know but to me it seems like you've played one you've played em all.
Oh well have fun with it!
I like the story behind em personally
Which one were you waiting on again?
Ah cool.. soon now no?
April so I got a bit
Guess Ill just stick to Trucks and Planes for now ๐คท
Ive kinda burned out on Inzoi trying to get the dang buisnesses to work.
Yeah it's cute but not much stood out to me in the demo? I think it will be fun just as a filler game as InZoi expands and other more exciting games are released. Sadly cozy games are all feeling a bit cash grabby lately
Did you go with deluxe? lol
no the regular, tho im checking out the discord and YEESH
I think some devs underestimate how much appeal a heavily recycled game loop could lose, even with new scenery and graphics...
lots of people complaining
mostly pretesters feeling cheated i see
Ah yes, that is common with games like this
Especially if they offer an exclusive item and then everyone gets it
Oh? More of the "my game is better than your game" kinda drama? Yea count me out.
nah more like beta testers being upset about people on steam being able to play it before them
but its goin too fast for my liking anyway in that discord
Honestly cozy games often attract the most unhinged personalities! I've seen cozy gamers be as belligerent as like...a Call of Duty player lol ( just using COD as an example since its a war game, the players might actually be as gentle as lambs lol)
Wait dident Beta testors play the game before anyone? Im not understanding.
Yeah that's odd
It could sound like unfair if beta-testers are supposed to be like kickstarter backers, but they are getting keys later than Steam Early-Accessors
Thatโs what theyโre saying
Hrm sometimes you gotta wait for free stuf ๐คท
They could always go buy the game and start at the same time as everyone else??
yes, I can understand that if the testing is for free, less so if I had to pay for testing in advance
I guess if they donated to a kickstarter, they may see it as transactional
Ahem... early access.. just saying.. LOL
Iโll just keep the discord for update notes
Yeah. For real. I don't think we'll see full release games be the norm ever again tbh
I will probably do the same
You can all mostly thank Star Citizen for setting the example.
Tbh I like having early access games especially when you can contribute to it
That thing just blows my mind. Folks spend literally 100s even thousands of dollars on dlc.
But if itโs so buggy you canโt play it thatโs another thing lol
Right now with Inzoi I can play but the bugs with Buisnesses make me get frustrated and leave early.
This was me and Hotel Galactic! It was early access and so bug filled it was unplayable. I don't mind early access for games that play like InZoi did but definitely not for a game where not even minor testing was done
Those games are often abandoned too
Shades of Paralives...
Rude
Its lucky that was a young roo. An adult woulda ripped em a new one!
Appearantly roblox puts Xbox edition starsand island graphics to shame ๐
Ive had my eye on this game for a while. Gonna wait for some unaffiliated reviews before deciding whether to buy though
its fun so far, tho the discord is filled with disgruntled kickstart backers atm
otherwise its ok. eng va is a lil buggy
for the standard i think so, not really for deluxe tho
@stiff hill I asked in the Starsand Discord but it's moving soo fast lol Do you know where the game stores the pictures we take with the in game camera? lol
I tried googling but the game is too new lol
gettin in game for ya one sec
also photoes
LOL
idk prob
but @tough jolt if you go to the in game album it and hit open local itll take you there too
Long haul
Is it possible to switch the va while still having Eng subtitles
That itโs only the en va available right now
From what they said
Ah I see
Khao piak sen
Great now Im hungry
Yay, awesome, thank you so much!
Oh wow! In real life that would probably be two drivers, I think
i used to do Kenworth Trucks from Hobbs to Oakland back in 2023 cuz it paid the most
quick jobs tho
Ill have to stop twice for sleep.
The game decorator in me wants to know if you can decorate the sleeper cabin or interior lol
You can get custom colors and put 'placeables' in there like pillows and stuff but thats about it.
You cant interact with any of it ๐
Aww man! But you get really beautiful and realistic scenery as the tradeoff I guess lol
Just putting my 2 cents into this convo, what a lot of people don't realize is that the devs are using us, the players, as free budget quality control testers so they don't have to pay legit quality control testers.
How do I know this? I had 2 friends in quality control. One worked for Bethesda and One worked for Obsidian, both lost their job suddenly because those studios basically said 'Yea, we are just going to send keys out that, technically, don't cost us anything and allow players to do your jobs now. See ya! Here's your severance!'
Just another way to bleed the stone. Mind you, it would work if you still kept a slimmed quality control department with someone who knows coding and can pinpoint roughly where the bug is, saving the devs time and effectively money, and have that smaller quality control department then look through the bug reports and help push those over to devs to take a look into after reproducing them themselves. But, yea, getting rid of QC completely for player only testing has become a standard.
Again, I understand it a bit more for indie devs not to have access to a legit QC dept so, of course, they rely on player based bug reporting but the bigger studios...yea, they just greedy!
Yea its alot about the scenery.
I have wanted to try games like this but I always have maneuvering difficulties with driving games, even InZoi is kinda hard for me. But I like games with tasks and earning gameplay. I love open world games and scenery too
my friend, please use brevity =]
textwalls are for suggestions xD
also, COUSIN, let's go bowling
listen, i had a lot to say. your cuz was seeing red there for a second. i snapped out of it. I PROMISE!
also, i heard bowling...we meeting at the alley by the SEGA Arcade? And will the chicken be there?
I feel conflicted about early access nowadays. On the one hand I like it for large complex games like InZoi. But it feels like a money grab and laziness for games with less complexity and especially if there is a mid sized to large publisher behind it
An excuse to throw unfinished games and then even abandon them at times
ngl i dont like early access
i gave inzoi a pass cause its inzoi, but im not thrilled its ea
Yeah I give InZoi a pass because I feel like Kjun gave a good reason for it but overall early access is getting way out of control
And then when the games get abandoned or bugs never get fixed, the developers use it as a shield
Honestly, the way kjun is treating inzoi is the only acceptable scenario a big game should be in early access
It isnt even a free pass. Imo, kjun earned the early access priviledge ๐คฃ
Yeah.. sooo... what is your point here ? If you had a company and had a choice to reallocate funding to something more worth and more important would you not do that ? Player feedback is the way forward and more meaningful for the game as you don't force someone to play what they don't want to play but want the money for it. Just reflecting ..my thoughts only...
Their point is that they feel the practice is predatory.
There was a time when player beta testers were used as a common practice and they would help games to be released in a finished state. But that is rare nowadays.
We talking game stuff here
Honestly I'll be real I don't know what my take is on early access most of the time because I do think it has a place and then other times it doesn't
It's a very case by case thing for me
I've tested quite a lot of games but that was because the place I worked for couldn't afford QA so someone on the team would take time out of their day to work on it
And given I was art it was usually me 
It's why I think early access has a place for small studios and teams
What @tough jolt said and to expand a bit clearer on this point...
Quality Control isn't just playing the game and finding bugs. TRUE Quality Control is knowing how to play a game in a way that will reveal the bugs and knowing, coding wise and game developmental wise, exactly what happened in order to pass it along to the correct people on the team to fix in order to give a polish product.
Player Beta Testing is not equal to true Quality Control department. Player Beta Testing does have a place in the process but to think that it could completely replace a true QC department isn't best for the overall health of game engineering. And that's because the coding part falls back on the coding devs and basically doubles their work load, meaning they are taking on more responsibility without additional pay or consideration of time aka crunch happens.
Please don't think for one second the bigger gaming studios are putting the money they are saving towards better development. That money saved is just lining someone higher up and has never developed a game in their life's pocket.
And sometimes small teams especially have massive oversights in what's fun and where scope and attention should be
And often then you need players to answer that
But when it comes to like Triple A studios
There are some studios that release "early access games" which are really just advanced access (aka some players get it earlier to bug test)
Which isn't what early access is
Early access is supposed to be feature incomplete games that need more direction what players like and want (and then some bug testing too on top)
EA (Electronic Arts) is really famous for this
Game changers are unpaid QA
But it's not what steam defines as Early Access nor what the main industry term is
Inzoi is true Early Access and I think people thought it'd be Electronic Arts Early Access and not a true version of it
If the early access is happening alpha stage and needs to include a lot more game content? It's real early access
If it's only bug fixes and base features are complete? It's supposed to be advanced access for players and isn't true early access
Also hi if people don't know me
I'm a video game artist who recently left the industry and love talking game industry
I'd joke that you guys summoned me if it wasn't the fact I was coming here to talk about Witchbrook and it's community being on fire still
Still enraged about the delay? ๐ค
100%, and sometimes you will find players who do have some coding experience and their feedback is extra helpful. Early Access with smaller/indie developments is USUALLY used how it is suppose to but, as people pointed out, a lot of bigger studios or not so nice indie developers are starting to use it as a cash grab or max'ing profits by refusing to hire QC when they could.
Hai, business major with a lot of friends in your former industry
And poor communication and the fact no real gameplay has been shown and they recently said they might consider working on combat
To which people said
Wait they haven't started to work on combat?
Witchbrook is having a lot of the same issues as Paralives but
Chucklefish is an established studio AND publisher
So people aren't giving them grace
Oi ๐
Baring in mind Witchbrook's been in development for a decade
and was supposed to release winter 2025
Im aware of that, yes
Something tells me paralives is gonna be facing a similar problem in may
I think they're making Starbound 2 which
Isn't a good thing given Starbound is like
Their last controversy
I loved Starbound but man that game's development 
The main difference though is that witchbrook hasnt been collecting patreon donations this whole time
Isn't Starbound still...semi-busted for people?
It's not even the same game it originally was
They just randomly decided to change large parts of the game including a lot that players liked
I think I have it and stopped playing it because my computer kept crashing
Which tbh I will say is wild to me they are getting the backlash for doing similar stuff to Paralives
But I do think it's because they are an established studio with a history of doing this
It stops being cute when it's not your first game anymore
And the fact that paralives are literally brainwashed zombies or something
Even legitimate critisism (like the fact children have BOOBS) will get you dogpiled
excuse me, wut!?
alright now if these are suppose to be 12-14 year old girls, i can see it
but if they are 11 or younger...no
They are ๐
I do think Paralives has lost a lot of it's hype
It still gets traction on youtube but they're down nearly $6.5k in their monthly earnings and still dropping
They're almost back to their pre-release date announcement monthly earnings
Which
Look I'm wary about Paralives nowadays but I sure hope they had a money float
Especially as they were still hiring and growing the team before the delay announcement
i feel like this may have been more they put a cut and paste asset onto a body it is not age approiate for. I...can see a man not thinking twice about it but ANY woman is gonna clock that
I think their child rig is just an adult rig scaled down rather than a new one
Oh, it 10000% is
It's the same models and rigs
I've been there at a studio where all the alarms are blaring and the ships sinking and they're still taking new people on with the promise of pay
Including me
who'd been there a year unpaid
It really sucks
The paralives community is basically a collection of the most toxic sims 4 players come together. Part of me leads me to believe paralives is in such a disastrous state BECAUSE the community is so toxicly positive
There is some nice paralives people
I've talked to quite a few and even when we disagree it's like
Respectful
But man
There's some that are like the poster girls for "I love kawaii cute things and I'll do very scary things to you if you cross me"
Like, they literally delayed because for the first time in over 10 years, they actually heard the game sucks and needs more gameplay
if they don't want to play inZOI, who can blame them for being salty at the lack of alternatives
SPEAKING OF ALTERNATIVES
It's not fully like Sims and Inzoi but MAN I am SO excited for Tomodachi Life
Prison Architect 2 actually has hope, the Sims franchise does not
They actually go out of their way to ๐ฉ on inzoi
Seen it happening first hand
I've been playing the old 3DS version and recently my first couple had children and the cutscene always makes me emotional
I have had read a lot of toxic responses from the Paralives fans.
Regular paralives stans coming on all positive inzoi comments and basically ๐ฉ on it
i will never understand shitting on something someone else is enjoying
InZoi > The Sims > Whatever this Paralives bs is
exactly. why yuck someone's yum?
I was really looking forward to Witchbrook. It looks so nice
was?
@fossil meadow was the bearer of bad Witchbrook news that started this convo
Well it was supposed to release in December I think a d it didnโt
Witchbrook is my dream game but TBH it was always too good to be true
And then given it's Chucklefish and they're really good at promising dream games and then underdelivering 
And now it seems another delay
Someone "omg, inzoi is adding strollers!"
A paralives stan: insert krafton drama/ zoipraganda / straight up lies. You really support that?
zoipraganda is wild
Theyre still going around saying inzoi doesng allow lgbtq ๐
Also please enjoy the first child born on my Tomodachi Life looks
I love him and will not take any slander
It makes more sense when you see his parents
what a cutie potato-e
He came out yassified
mogging for the camera too
NOT THAT ONE
It could be worse this is the second child born on my island
I WANTED THE ONE ON THE RIGHT DAMNIT
Bless his heart
the backache must be real
That ones a girl 
Could've fooled me ๐ญ
I got to say playing Tomodachi Life makes me even sadder that Inzoi removed the cutscenes
i should honestly get back into Tomodachi Life
The credits of Tomodachi Life is watching the child grow up with their parents and then a small really sweet video cutscene at the end
Yeah, i honestly wouldnt mind if they added back the cut scenes for big firsts where appropriate
I've been having a blast playing it again ready for the new game
Life simmers as a whole really sleep on Tomodachi Life
Which I do get for the side who prefer realism
but the people who love the more soap opera/unpredictable sides of life sims are really asleep on Tomodachi Life
oop have to play KCD2 again and not disappoint Ma
only killing when needed or ordered to, no stealing unless necessary for plot, and no abandoning allies or honor
Chad Henry
Thanks 
||I know this wasn't about me but I take wins where I can||
Ive been scratching that itch eith clanfolk. Its rimworld minus the war crimes and set in the 1300s
the promo AI vid for KCD2 was fantastic

Experience the highs and lows of Henry's journey in the Official CGI Trailer for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, where life in 15th-century Bohemia is as unpredictable as it is unforgiving. From the chaos of a brawl to the fleeting joy of celebration, every mom...
no warcrimes?
looks pretty good ngl
Nuh. It doesnt really have war or danger either (though it is in early access)
Pretty fun
The game puts a lot of emphasis on unlocking technology
I'm on a Good Company kick
Thats where the gameplay lies
Oh, kinda reminds me of gamedev tycoon
Pretty fun game, definitely recommend
And terranill
same, sank many an hour making Call of Honor, Betroid, etc
isometric Planet Crafter
I competed the game 3 times. Haven't completed the new update yet though ๐คฃ
Well "new"
This will never not make me get emotional
Me getting emotional watching a baby grow up:

The baby in question the whole time:
Looks so real
is currently testing out Bakery Cafe Sim demo because she's a making food in a game addict
I gotta find a good lot to convert into Scoops Ahoy ๐
i mostly took this pic bc theres a bus nerd in another server and wanted to see what he thinks of brazilian buses lol
Ooh which game? Starsand?
Yes! It's super pretty 
Cute!
Haha I thought that was paralives for a minute!
I can see it! lol
This one feels a like a cross between Paralives and Studio Ghibli-esque
They're super cute! Love the outfits
There a demo out for it?
I haven't sunk too much time into Starsand so much but I've been enjoying it
Is it insane to say it feels like a gatcha game without being gatcha
A lot of gatcha games have REALLY good fun gameplay and lots to do but then charge you money to get new outfits/mounts/etc
This game is like those gatchas but if they actually gave you everything in game and you didn't need to pay for all the extras
It's what Heartopia could have been
and Infinity Nikki 
For Starsand? There was and I think it's still out
I'm not sure though I never played the demo but heard good stuff from it
I'm not seeing the demo on the main page anymore
But it's a very relaxing game so far and the open world is bright and cozy
Defintely gonna try and adopt this lil fella lol
Whoa! Is this a flood?!
I wish nyami was here rn
what do you need
if its a new mod its not happening, sorry
i already maintain about 20 and i dont plan to add on any more unless i think of something i personally need
Omg hey no it's cause I gotta tell you what happened with me and my "crush"
๐๐๐
oh god ๐ญ
Like I am shook
what happened ๐ญ
So I guess like he made a post right
And I saw like he didn't have much engagement he posted like 24 minutes ago
Basically asking like what is everyone planning to get rid of in their cabinets right
And like I thought of answering truthfully but instead just said "meds I don't need anymore"
And he freaking responded back to me likee
But like he responded to me like 7 minutes later and was like "sounds great!"
he's given me a reason to stress before
once he hand trauma tw ||cut off 4 of his fingers by accident and had to get them reattached||
Oh my gosh
i sobbed about it all day, at first i didnt know he got them reattached
I would be worried about him too that seems painful
I knew a guy that didn't have a hand he only had an elbow
But like he was okay though
He could drive still
๐ฎ wow
i still worry like hell about my man
not even just with that just in general ๐ญ lol
my baby ๐ฅบ
How old is he now
Ohh I thought he was older lmao y'all could actually date
๐ญ he's married
his wife is hotter than me lmao
and better for him
im too insane lmao
an age gap has never stopped me ๐ญ
he has 2 kids too ๐ญ
Even if they are 78? ๐ฎ
Ooo I see you ๐
๐ me with christopher walken, brad dourif, and paul reiser
and some celebs i obsessed over were longgg dead too ๐ญ
paul reiser is still so cute lmao
brad dourif was downright hot in the chucky tv series as old charles lee ray ghost XD
i never even saw the show, just saw pics...hottttt
idk bro, just had to pass through it on my way to Porto Velho
seems to be between Ariquemes and Itapua do Oeste
Northwest Brazil
in Rondรดnia
I just clicked this channel and got jumpscared ๐ญ
That GIF is like when I'm drunk in "The clubz" and I'm trying to focus to see if I know that person or not ๐ญ
Brad Cavil... I can make it work ๐
LOOOL
Nuhhhh, facial hair is attractiveee, it shouts "Hello world! I can grow a beard"
nah, not hot to me at all lol
i'd make bearded rupert work for me against my will though ๐ญ
speaking of men with beards, its Valentines day soon and I have not made any plans with my bf.... โจ couple goalsโจ
