[ruby nacelle]

Where is crazy cazy at

[median vigil]

He went quiet earlier 🤷‍♀️

He sneaked off to sleep

Like what I'm gonna do soon 😭

[ruby nacelle]

Then he will be up later when your still having beauty sleep

[median vigil]

Probably

[ruby nacelle]

Im gonna have a busy day today

Need to fix a network server for a client

[median vigil]

Today is still yesterday for me until I get to bed in abit

[ruby nacelle]

That server has 50 computers connected to it so I’m screwed

[median vigil]

Good luck with that then

[ruby nacelle]

Iv charged the client £2600 for the job

He accepted it

[median vigil]

Nice well that will sort you out

With a gpu

[ruby nacelle]

I’ll only be 400 away

So I won’t have to sell my 5090

[median vigil]

Well hopefully all works out okay

And you get your surgery

[ruby nacelle]

Once Iv made the payment I should have it in 2 weeks

[median vigil]

So hang on till then and you will be sorted

Don't buy that amd one fan card

Waste of time

[ruby nacelle]

I won’t need to

[median vigil]

Good yeh

[ruby nacelle]

Because I can borrow 400 off my nan to cover

And pay her back over 3 months

[median vigil]

You pretty much have it all sorted then no worries

[ruby nacelle]

That’s if the client doesn’t cancel on me

Then I’m back to square one again

Anyways grilled chicken are you gonna have beauty sleep now

[median vigil]

Well I keep trying to go to sleep but you keep yapping 🤣

And I hope it all works out for you

[ruby nacelle]

[median vigil]

Otherwise just get a loan or something

[ruby nacelle]

You also yap a lot

[median vigil]

I do but so can you when you start 🤣

[ruby heart]

You’re so talented 😄 how do you feel

[ruby nacelle]

trying to recover

just taking my medication

[ruby heart]

Good I’m glad get better!

[weak bone]

@upper prairie I made it to the underdark 😬

[upper prairie]

Alexxxxxxxx!!!!

[weak bone]

Don’t get mad at me 😭

[upper prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/into-the-underdark-ladder-climb-drow-underground-darkness-gif-13749563554529443654

[weak bone]

Exactly

[upper prairie]

Lmao what you do? Why would I get mad? 😂😂

[weak bone]

It might be too early, I think I explored most of the map from act 1 but we are still level 5

[upper prairie]

The Underdark is still Act 1 so you’ll get XP from there too!

[weak bone]

I think fighting some of these guys will help, especially since I made Wyll a Ranger and he’s a LOT better

lol true true, I guess I mean more that first map

[upper prairie]

Cmonnnn reclassification lol

I’m so proud of you lol.

I love that you’re sticking with it lol.

[weak bone]

lol, there was a burrow too so I wanted to change him, wasn’t needed but his powers are much stronger

lol thank you, I’m trying

It took deleting it twice but I missed seeing Tav. Poor guy didn’t get a chance

[upper prairie]

I love Wyll and his eldritch blast but he’s definitely the weakest link when I play him lol.

And Tav deserved to become the best adventurer of Baldur’s Gate lol

[weak bone]

Gosh he was, but now he can go 2-3 times like laezel so it really helps. He’s way more powerful like a said

Exactly!

[upper prairie]

I love when your builds start really showing their power and stop getting one-shotted every fight 😂

[weak bone]

I know. Like I didn’t yall can do this, should have been a thing from the jump

[upper prairie]

Lol then it wouldn’t be as rewarding. I put Gale in our current playthrough and he kept missing so I had to leave my little wizard at camp for now.

[weak bone]

That’s true, it would be too easy. I still haven’t met him, is he later?

[ruby nacelle]

night all

[upper prairie]

Night night!!

[upper prairie]

No he’s stuck in a rune in the first part of the map close to the crash site lmao

[weak bone]

Geeez 😆

[upper prairie]

LMAO!!

I’m crying 😂😂

No Astarion, No Gale 🥹🥹

Did you get Karlach? Lol

[weak bone]

😬

Nope, just stuck with my main little 3 until I get Halsin

[upper prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/summer-child-my-sweet-summer-child-old-nan-game-of-thrones-gif-5580217

😂😂😂😂😂😂

But it’s okay! If it works! Lol

[weak bone]

And it has been!

[upper prairie]

And that’s all that matters. You can only have 3 of them active anyways lol.

[weak bone]

That’s what I learned. But I’m glad I’m sticking with Wyll because he would have been gone

[upper prairie]

Yes I do like Wyll. He’s on my squad in my personal playthrough.

[weak bone]

He’s the retry chill, not sure about the devil thing tho

[upper prairie]

Oh yes you met Mizora?

[toxic ginkgo]

who dat is thor

[upper prairie]

You know that ain’t no Thor 😂😂

[weak bone]

@upper prairie Fault, it was shower time. I’m pretty sure I did meet Mizora, buts been a minute

Oh yea yea I did

She was kinda scary but 😏

I probably won’t do anything but if she says something 👀

[upper prairie]

You have to do what must be done.

[weak bone]

If I must I must, but I’ll figure it out when we get there

[upper prairie]

Lots of fun times ahead lol!

[weak bone]

lol cannot wait!

[ruby heart]

Damn Reddit shady af lol

[weak bone]

Reddit seems always shady 😆

[scarlet hearth]

-# There's very tasty looking ice cream cakes but their prices are brutal

[weak bone]

Ok this is the final real Tav, but he looks better

[scarlet hearth]

-# Damn! 🪭

[upper prairie]

uses him for inspo in my next playthrough

Never thought I'd want to play as a guy but here we are

[weak bone]

I’ve always played as guys😆 I think I’d rather just look at a guy

[upper prairie]

Lol I always play as a girlie pop.

[toxic ginkgo]

Lmaooooo

Boats... 😅 safer for one thing but not for the other

im legit gonna be pissed if everyone here flocks to paralives in less than a week

[verbal gulch]

Why?

[reef vine]

especially if the aforementioned everyone leaves inzoi for it.
the game is ugly and i will take no part in it. we don't need to lose people for inzoi.

yes im aware you can play two games but i mean really, eventually a main has to be picked in my experience

[verbal gulch]

But if others like Paralives, why would that affect you? 😅 competition is good, its why we got resizable windows in Inzoi with more coming 😄

[reef vine]

it would affect me if this communtiy dwindles

im not gonna hold people hostage and make them stay away lmao
but im not gonna be happy

[verbal gulch]

People here including yourself jump from Sims to Inzoi, the same would be the same for paralives

[reef vine]

i sincerely hope so

[wary jetty]

Like you said, the aesthetics really are in different leagues. I think you might be worrying more than necessary.

[reef vine]

i honestly dont know. aesthetics arent always everything

[verbal gulch]

Nah it'll be a hot topic for a week then die down abit I bet, like when Inzoi first released

[reef vine]

im just sad about the potential dividing of the community

[verbal gulch]

Yeah but when the game fully releases / PS5 version gets released they'll come back plus a bunch of new peeps 😄

[reef vine]

hope so, man

ngl...i'm just trying to think of something to discuss besides ||goggins||

xD

[verbal gulch]

I regret clicking that 💀

imma gonna fake covid at work in 2 weeks so I can WFH for my last two weeks at work because they cut my bonus so now I don't care 😄

[reef vine]

WTF!

ptsd time

[verbal gulch]

Quarter 1 bonus is for those not on notice leave apparently, how rude

[scarlet hearth]

👀...

[verbal gulch]

I can train my replacement on Teams 😄

[reef vine]

im guessing you will lead them astray

[verbal gulch]

No need, she seems pretty clueless, which is all the new hires lately, since they're desperate for peeps since all the good staff are leaving 😄

She can't even work Outlook even though she worked in payroll previously (I think she lied on her CV lol)

Also Payroll in Inzoi When!?! I want my Zoi to skim off the top because I'm too scared to do that irl 👀

[reef vine]

on topic.... lol

[verbal gulch]

Oh right... um... I'm watching the Para gameplay trailer, is that better ? 😄

[reef vine]

im just trying to figure out who to play as on swtor

[verbal gulch]

Sith Inquisition WOO!

[reef vine]

evil!rupert? goggins with a shorter name? gorst from andor knockoff?

i did make evil!rupe a sith inquis lol

alright rupert it is lol

[verbal gulch]

I got so far in that game before my old PC broke then I didn't go back 😭

[reef vine]

i always start over

i always just make new chars

[verbal gulch]

which this game is good for since the starting class missions are unique 😍

also KOTOR remake when!?!

[reef vine]

i never played it somehow

idek why or how

[verbal gulch]

Awh it was so goooood! controversial but I preferred the second one 👀

[reef vine]

i bet it is good, i just never got around to it

[verbal gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/starwars-sith-darth-nihilus-lightsaber-gif-12550737

[verbal gulch]

So Revan must be so confusing in swtor to you lol

[reef vine]

🤷‍♀️ i really dunno the expanded universe

[scarlet hearth]

Obsidian did second one~

[verbal gulch]

That explains it lol

[reef vine]

everything is connected

[verbal gulch]

I only know sta wars games and movies, not books or comics 😅

[reef vine]

same XD but just movies and selective tv

[scarlet hearth]

-# Explains the cut contents?

I thought the pace was too slow coming from Jedi Knight but I start to like it later

[verbal gulch]

Yeah it is a slower burn but the villians are so well written 😮

[scarlet hearth]

I had fun modding a bit of it, the model handling is not that different from NWN

[verbal gulch]

I didn't even know what modding was back then lol

[scarlet hearth]

👀 You play it earlier than me then

[verbal gulch]

I may have played it on release 👀

[scarlet hearth]

Oh my...

-# No official and unofficial patches?

[verbal gulch]

Nopes, that's how much of a badass I am 💃

I was 16 when it released apparently lol

[radiant swan]

KOTR is such a throwback literally one of the best Star Wars games ever made

[verbal gulch]

100%! KOTOR 3 When!?

[radiant swan]

Whenever half life 3 comes out 😭

[verbal gulch]

Well hopefully we get HL2 Episode 3 before all of that 💀

[scarlet hearth]

-# Left 4 Dead 3 too plz

[verbal gulch]

Portal 3 When!?

[verbal gulch]

Wait isn't "Back4Blood" basically L4D3 ?

[scarlet hearth]

No

-# Who knows maybe Steam Machine 2 have a #3 game at launch or wait for the third one...

[verbal gulch]

Yeah Steam Machine 3 won't be made, nothing with "3" will be made 😭

[violet sentinel]

Hello my durling people

[verbal gulch]

Stranger Danger! AHH

[violet sentinel]

No one knows how much Paralives will cost?

[verbal gulch]

$40 is all I know

[violet sentinel]

omg

[scarlet hearth]

Not sure about regional pricing atm, the store page have no price til later

[verbal gulch]

Is that alot for a game in your country? 😅 Its around £30 in the UK 😄

[violet sentinel]

Well, most likely

[warped hound]

For a country which is currently in war, with the economy collapsing. Most likely

[verbal gulch]

Oh, I didn't know other gaming companies dropped their prices in war ridden countries :O, that's actually really nice of them, I learnt somethings today 😄

[warped hound]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-michael-scott-steve-carrell-unamused-meh-gif-16391448

Apparently, being part of a privileged group (or a nation as a whole), makes people ignorant towards those who are suffering 😔

But what do I know, right?

[verbal gulch]

Oh sorry wasn't meant to be a joke 🙁 I thought you where implying it, my bad

[verbal gulch]

True, I wish I was privileged

[warped hound]

😭

I think you already are, no? 🤔

[verbal gulch]

how so?

[warped hound]

But yeah, I don't know why you think inflation will make companies drop their price in countries

It's only gonna increase the price, not the other way around

[verbal gulch]

Fair, but what gives people online the impression I'm privileged 😭

[violet sentinel]

GO GO GO GO

[verbal gulch]

Oooo what game? 😮

[warped hound]

I don't mean it in a general sense, but being british which is very much considered a "first world country", in addition to being unaware of the geo-politics does very much give that impression

[violet sentinel]

Stalker 2

[verbal gulch]

You can't view someone as privileged just on their country of origin lol but its ok 🙂

[verbal gulch]

I heard great things 😮

[warped hound]

Oh, trust me, I very much do.

[verbal gulch]

Oh... well, I respect your opinion

[violet sentinel]

yeah i played earlier, but didn't finish it due to optimization issues and bugs.

[warped hound]

That's good to hear 👍🏻

[verbal gulch]

Mate of mine was addicted to it lol

[violet sentinel]

A lot of time has passed since then, so I bought it—I want to see the new features and optimizations. I'm also looking forward to the new DLC, where you can visit Reactor Unit 4

Well, the game is very beautiful

I'm going to play

[verbal gulch]

You should play them all at the sametime 😅

[violet sentinel]

I'm playing right now lords of the fallen

[verbal gulch]

ngl, never played it, is it a souls like game?

[violet sentinel]

yes

[scarlet hearth]

Ooh you picked all the games I planned to get/play

[violet sentinel]

yeah

[scarlet hearth]

Chromatic aberration a bit strong at the edges of the screen...

[violet sentinel]

maybe

I set the graphics to Cinematic and didn't change anything else

[scarlet hearth]

-# Designer decision

[violet sentinel]

There is a specific gameplay mechanic here: using the lantern, you can enter the world of the dead

[violet sentinel]

That is him

[scarlet hearth]

The thing in the distance looks like human skeleton

[violet sentinel]

yes

It's a mix of Dark Souls, Elden Ring and lies of p

And it all looks good

There is even a cooperative mode

and the invasion

[wheat merlin]

6 months ago, still I haven't finished yet..

[royal surge]

they have a good modding policy

[scarlet hearth]

I missed that... where you read it?

[royal surge]

nothing official, but just reading through they let us reverse engineer the code to add script mods. Inzoi would never

mono Unity is also one of the easiest engines to mod too

[scarlet hearth]

Interesting

[wheat merlin]

If Sims 4 players can't play inZOI because of Graphic requirements. They can play Paralives...
The Sims 4 needs is a money cash grab.

[royal surge]

but keep in mind modders will likely quickly improve the graphics of paralives

[wheat merlin]

Running with Unity... Yep.... It's gonna explode... Harry Potter word can deal with it..

[royal surge]

No, they just need better textures imo

the 3d assets already look nice to me. It's the Paras they need improvements

[wheat merlin]

@astral vine it'll be huge the file size.. xD

And file size to download. Lucky I have my internet upgraded so I can download GTA6 in the future.

[royal surge]

I mean i have like 4TB of storage so i'm good

[scarlet hearth]

Just shading for me, they're a bit flat but I like the looks of the para

[wheat merlin]

Yep, they'll turn into The Sims 4 characters.. xD

[royal surge]

exactly it's not much that needs to change

just adjust the shaders and textures on the paras

[royal surge]

I actually like the look of sims 4 more than inzoi

sims 4 has a timeless stylized aesthetic. Inzoi is going for hyper-realism but aren't quite there yet so it feels off

there is also inconsistency between how the zois and the assets look. The design isn't unified

[wheat merlin]

I like more inZOI, welp when I returned to The Sims 4. My characters doesn't look well.

[royal surge]

they look good in create mode but not in live mode. and I play on ultra with a 5090

[wheat merlin]

True!

@scarlet hearth was still working on LOD to make a like CAZ. xD

[near oak]

i do prefer a more stylized artstyle when it comes to lifesims

[wheat merlin]

This is taken from CAZ.

Anyway I better head off to sleep. It's 12:12AM.. I shifts starts 8AM every Tue to Fri.

[scarlet hearth]

It's the lighting in-game, it's... not set up in each areas like one would for action game

[royal surge]

now show this in live mode lmaoo

[royal surge]

I get the reason but it still affects the experience for me.

[wheat merlin]

LIVE mode

[scarlet hearth]

The skin details kinda get smudged in-game too I think

[wheat merlin]

Performance thing..

[royal surge]

sims 4 live mode with mods

[scarlet hearth]

Ah, the texture for S4 kinda flat shading so what we got is more shaded skin mods so it looks a bit more consistent

[royal surge]

there are even better looking ones

I just forgot the sim youtuber who made the video

[scarlet hearth]

It's possible to add and change skin shaders/add another layer (but the color is still not as alive? as in MH and a bit flat)

[astral vine]

She looks less cartoony

[royal surge]

Well hopefully you can tinker around with paralives if you're interested :3

is that photo mode i've never seen my zoi look like that in live even on ultra

actually let me log in

[scarlet hearth]

I think they kinda did reduce then increase again with 5.6

-# On-topic though 😅

[pliant tree]

They had to do something with the optimization. They were basically turning away thousands of possible sales.

The quest for 'prefect' graphics is diminishing returns tbh. I have a very high end system but do not run at Ultra due to fan noise and dont really mind.

[spiral kelp]

do you remember how you do this cause every time i try to change the normals and height it just completely breaks

[royal surge]

idk how you got it to look like that

[stiff hill]

We only allow sharing of mods in #modding-chat for inzoi. It’s considered advertising in other chats

[scarlet hearth]

Yes, actually I copy one from MH and pasted over as a layer (didn't expect it to work but it did 😂 as for how well I tried not to erase any existing details so it's blending instead of replace)

[chrome rivet]

oh kk

[pliant tree]

Heh Subnautica Dev got in hot water again!
Players were complaining they could not like attack and repel the sea creatures.
Krafton came out and said "If they wanna kill stuff let them play Sons of the Forest"... LMAO!

Krafton apologized this morning.

Actually it was a Dev from Uknown worlds but Krafton holds the reigns.

[royal surge]

are these edited? they look curated

[pliant tree]

Its all CAZ's faunt!

[royal surge]

It looks like you carefully posed and lit the zoi

i dont think they look like that most of the time

[spiral kelp]

mm weird using substance on different layer too so basically the same thing been tinkering like crazy with skins and nothing but a flat normal shows others show but aging and weigh gain breaks it so its useless. I know its possible since I have a creators skin that has texture

[royal surge]

I played last year too though but i guess it depends on when

[scarlet hearth]

I use micro normal one (the small image but tiled several times in shaders)

[pliant tree]

Id llike to see it again tbh 🙁

At the risk of being on topic.. Custimizable and lockable UI when?

[royal surge]

interesting, i guess to be fair im at 45 FPS on a 5090 so maybe they did need to change things

[verbal gulch]

"Graphics in games are much like relationships:
Would you want something very pretty to look at but its personality is unstable and not fun at all?
Or would you like an average looking thing but its fun and long lasting? "

• Dr.Brad

[astral vine]

I love this summary lol

[verbal gulch]

Thanks!

"Disclosure: Brad is not a licenced doctor"

[pliant tree]

Thats actually a pretty good analogie.
But I 'left' the pretty one cause she was too noisy!

(checks channel again)

[verbal gulch]

I left Crimson Desert because it was pretty, fun and stable... Wayyy outa my league 🙁

Hopefully one day that game will take me back

[astral vine]

I need some inspiration for some inZOI playthroughs

[pliant tree]

I quit playing cause of the janky controls and once I found out about hte micro transactions.. Im outa there!

[scarlet hearth]

Ooh another CD player

[verbal gulch]

You ended up playing it? Also what micro transactions? 😮

[scarlet hearth]

Same as him then

[verbal gulch]

Excuse you! I only played a small bit, only 167 hours 👀

[pliant tree]

Yea played it for about two weeks. The transactions are mostly cosmetic things. It just rubs me the wrong way.

Some of the puzzles just made me wanna toss the controller accross the room too.

[verbal gulch]

Oh weird, it doesn't even have micro transactions.... you sure you weren't playing black desert? lol

[pliant tree]

OH.. shit.. LMAO I was thinking of WWM ! omg.. Its old age I blame it on old age.

[verbal gulch]

Ohhhhh! Yeah no, those micro transactions where so forced too! 😭

[pliant tree]

No I have not played CD yet. Waiting on patches and price drop.
Plenty of other stuff to occupy me right now anyhow.

[verbal gulch]

I think they're basically done with patches since there's nothing left to improve other than "more mounts", and the price is only 40 squids on CDKey 😄

[pliant tree]

Its still over 60 bucks US. And lots to improve. Mostly the controls from what I understand.

[scarlet hearth]

-# imo 1 year is a good time for new games these days

[near oak]

i wanted a skin from a clan so bad but i'd have to wait like two months to get it since there was a cap on the required coins to get it

[verbal gulch]

Oh, I found the controls fine with a controller 😄

[pliant tree]

I just know what I heard at launch alot of complaints about the control set... for .. controllers.

[verbal gulch]

Oh yeah, they improved that since for PC peeps

anyway, Persona 5 timeee, laters peeps

[pliant tree]

Persona games were fun but oh so repetitive.

[verbal gulch]

(Sorta agree lol)

[pliant tree]

I got about halfway through P4 and just got to the "Not again" point.
Also hit the same thing in Elder Scrolls Oblivion "Oh god not another gate!"

[ruby nacelle]

how is everyone

[pliant tree]

Grumpy

Oh thats cool. Some one made a mod for BG3 where you canuse physical dice.. like on your desktop.
You have to have the 'smart dice' but it seems like a cool idea!

[ruby nacelle]

dath the bot

[pliant tree]

Hes lurkin out there you never know. Bet even Jinnie is hiding in the bushes!

[pliant tree]

Phew finally got the heat adaptation in SubNautica. That was a struggle.
I think some of the missions need a little more guidance.

I had no idea how to complete that and the game offers no guidance. Google to the rescue 😄

[zenith dirge]

[near oak]

Paralives early gameplays are out!

[pliant tree]

Since yesterday 😉

[near oak]

well now content creators have released their impressions. they got early early access

[pliant tree]

right they started yesterday. Doesent matter though. How are the first impressions?

Meh.. I guess Ill go look for some. Havent seen it yet myself but they were talkin about it here yesterday.

[near oak]

Fantayzia just uploaded one today

[pliant tree]

Haha Im lookin at Google. Kid you not.. "The indie game 'Sims' fans have been waiting for!".. .Uhhh okay.

[near oak]

i'm reading a review and they are speaking positively about personalities, though i'll have to see for myself on the 25th

[pliant tree]

So I watched the Fantazya feed for almost an hour and saw Zero game play?
Lots on the train. lots on create a charecter, No game play it ends there.

[desert valve]

Is brainstorm out?

[near oak]

she's probably doing a separate vid for gameplay

[near oak]

he did reply to last Friday's

[desert valve]

Lmfaoo sorry I thought I was in the main thread

[desert valve]

Im gonna watch them now lol 😂my messy ahh

[toxic ginkgo]

ye....just ps5 talk

[fierce plover]

Remember all conversation must take place in the relevant channel.
Ask #gameplay-questions
Have an #inzoi-chat
Maybe even an #off-topic-chat

Keeping chat in the right channels makes our server more organized and a happier place to be!

[pliant tree]

Is there an Esoteric chat? 😄

[cunning jacinth]

it's right here xD

[pliant tree]

Good point.

Sun sets early here in Alaska!

[tough jolt]

What game is this, the truck game?

[ruby nacelle]

[pliant tree]

The hunter.

[tough jolt]

It's beautiful

[pliant tree]

That park has a lot of stunning views. It's supposed to be Yukon territory. Lots of Moose, Bears, wolves, ducks etc.
The wolves are no joke and not to be taken lightly. I always carry a large side arm just in case.

[reef vine]

funny story:
i used to be heavily into hunting games because i was never allowed any shooter games
it was kind of a loophole im surprised i managed to use 😂

[pliant tree]

Heh thats funny. Its okay to shoot stuff as long as its animals.

[tough jolt]

I haven't played any hunting games since Duck Hunt as a kid

[reef vine]

my parents are something lmao

[reef vine]

that is a GREAT one

[tough jolt]

I had the controller that looked like a gun loool

[reef vine]

yesss that thing was awesome

[pliant tree]

Think we all did

[reef vine]

i feel like it was kind of revolutionary for its time

[pliant tree]

But hey your kinda dating yourself there 😉

[reef vine]

that game is older than me but i happened to have it idk

[tough jolt]

My father was super into computers and consoles, we had them all, guess he was an early version of a techie

[reef vine]

that is awesome

[pliant tree]

Oh .. heh Ive actually played it.

[tough jolt]

Very much so lol 80s kid all the way lol

[reef vine]

😂
90s kid here

[pliant tree]

Mmmm not gonna say.. its depressing.

[reef vine]

💀

[tough jolt]

I was a teen in the 90s, so by then I was playing Myst, Legend of Zelda, Street Fighter

[reef vine]

i didnt really acquire true gaming freedom til like like the late 2000s i think

now i play whatever tf i want

[tough jolt]

We are the age that we are and that's about it lol I was once 17, now I'm 50, hopefully I will reach 100 lol

[reef vine]

hopefully i will reach brain-in-a-jar

[tough jolt]

LOL

[reef vine]

😁

[tough jolt]

Right

[pliant tree]

In my case hopefully till next year 😉

[tough jolt]

It's wild, my parents were super Catholic so all my life it was don't do this, don't do that. Except for gaming. My Dad liked to sit and watch us play Rayman and Spyro especially lol

[reef vine]

yeah i dealt with all that too minus a gaming dad

i feel like its still ingraved in me and it stresses me

[pliant tree]

Snows here alot too.

[tough jolt]

The scenery is so immersive

[reef vine]

it is!

[tough jolt]

Love it

Reminds me of the horse game I was playing for all of ten minutes lol

[reef vine]

those horse games are cute xD but yep, usually dont last long

[pliant tree]

Some Bison not too far off but not what Im after.

Worth a shot. Mount worthy!

Diamond!!!

[cunning jacinth]

smh this is why they're not roaming the plains anymore 😛

[ruby nacelle]

im mad

[cunning jacinth]

power go out again?

[ruby nacelle]

no

steam account locked

[cunning jacinth]

omg how

[pliant tree]

Uhh actually this species is alive well and thriving.

There not Buffalo 😉

[cunning jacinth]

IN MUCH FEWER NUMBERS

luckily we stopped before they vanished forever

[pliant tree]

I htink your getting your species mixed up. thats okay. after all its just a game 😄

[reef vine]

how on earth
can you not even play the games
if this was me i would up and die

[pliant tree]

The thing wtih steam is you cannot contact an actual live person. You jump through all the hoops and end up right back at the start. Over and over. Trust me Ive been through it.

[reef vine]

lord

[cunning jacinth]

I'm not lol. I googled before I said anything and just said it vague enough to confuse 💀 maybe we do need AI jk

[pliant tree]

The Yukon plains bison population has seen a positive increase in recent years. As of the latest survey in 2024, the population is estimated to be around 1,951 adults, reflecting a 47% increase since 2016.

But part of the game is culling out the weak individuals so the rest of the herd can thrive. Its not just a meat hunt. 😉

[cunning jacinth]

common conservation W
from 325 total bison in 1884 to around 500k today. I'm referring to American Bison, not Yukon Plains Bison btw

[cunning jacinth]

and actually...

[warped hound]

I'm not sure why in the world the bot channel keeps being recommended 🙏🏻

Discord really wants me to get banned

[stiff hill]

Discord bein discord. Just don’t send messages in there and ur good

[warped hound]

Thing is, it happens in almost every server with has an auto ban channel

typo 😔

[stiff hill]

At least it’s takin care of the scams tho. It misses a post sometimes

[warped hound]

That's also true

[ruby heart]

There’s a way to block view but I don’t remember Cazy knows more

[pliant tree]

Well I was hunting the Yukon versio which stareted this whole conversation ! 😄

[pliant tree]

Just mute the channel I think.

Right click mute

[reef vine]

time for swtor

[warped hound]

swtor sounds like swatter

which then reminds me of ready or not

[reef vine]

star wars the old republic...

[warped hound]

OH 😭

[reef vine]

xD

the mmo
idk why but i wandered back to it

[warped hound]

I think a remake was in works(?)

And it got canned or something

[reef vine]

thats KNIGHTS of the old republic

[warped hound]

AHHH

[reef vine]

different game lmao

[warped hound]

I'M SORRY I'm just not into star wars so didn't know about it all 😔

[reef vine]

funny thing is i know zilch about its expanded universe

and this takes place in it so

[warped hound]

Oh interesting

[reef vine]

xD im just playing for whatever

i needed an mmo and i like scifi more than fantasy

im sick to death of gw2

[warped hound]

I don't think I've played a ton of mmos to be fair. Played Black Desert Online a while back though

[reef vine]

that ones pretty

i have it

[warped hound]

The character customization is really nice

[reef vine]

yup

[warped hound]

I think I just ended up losing the motivation, after spending a lot of time playing alone

[reef vine]

yeah lol

i always fall away from mmos

then i wander back whenever lol

[warped hound]

Ooo

I want to get into an mmo

I've been wanting to for so long tbf

[reef vine]

lmao yeaa

swtor is free 👀

[warped hound]

Just don't know what's there which "clicks"

[reef vine]

yeahh

[warped hound]

Is it on steam?

[reef vine]

yes

[warped hound]

I'll give it a go then!

[pliant tree]

Star WArs online?

[reef vine]

yes

[pliant tree]

I think I tired it like years ago.

[reef vine]

and not disney wars lol

its in pretty much a separate universe

[pliant tree]

Yea been a while dont really remember much about it.

[reef vine]

ahh

[pliant tree]

Loading up BG3.
Still trying to get my Rockstar Account back.

[warped hound]

I don't watch movies / shows etc, so I think I often end up alienating myself from a lot of fandom 😔

[reef vine]

same i hate fandoms

[warped hound]

It's not just that, it just kinda makes it hard to relate with other people who watch them lol

[reef vine]

for me its the shipping i cant bear

[warped hound]

I didn't know what "shipping" meant until like a year something ago 🙏🏻

[reef vine]

Lucky.

so freaking fortunate all that time

[warped hound]

I was like.. "do you mean the shipping from amazon?"

[reef vine]

thats what it should stay as

[warped hound]

Fr 😭

[reef vine]

btw if you like mass effect swtor is a lot like it

the story choices and such

[warped hound]

I.. have never played any mass effect game

[reef vine]

😱 whaa

[warped hound]

😭

[reef vine]

its so good

[warped hound]

I know I should

I just hate ea is all

[reef vine]

ah yea

welp
i think swtor is ea too

[warped hound]

I would probably buy the remaster(?) when it's on sale

[reef vine]

but im not 100% sure lmao

[warped hound]

Does it require the ea launcher?

[reef vine]

no

[warped hound]

Oh that's good

[reef vine]

it has its own little thing
you have to make an account

[tight marten]

SWTOR mentioned :0

my favorite MMO

[reef vine]

but its on its own site
yeah im playing rn lol

[warped hound]

Interesting! I see

[reef vine]

its old school ish

but not like ancient school 🤣

[tight marten]

Its a bioware game, in my experience its alot more story and quest focused than other mmos ive tried which end up being sitting around respurce farming 😅

Its also responsible for alot fo cool starwars animations

[warped hound]

What's the microtransaction situation like in swtor btw?

[reef vine]

all cosmetic EXCEPT if you sub once you get perks

i did sub once
i have preferred status

its optional but eventually if you love it you might wanna

subbing once unlocks extra story stuff

[tight marten]

You get alot of content for free, but you will eventually get to the paid expansions

[reef vine]

springmute likely knows more lol

[warped hound]

Subbing as in subscription?

[reef vine]

yes

[tight marten]

Ye

[warped hound]

Ahh

[reef vine]

but you can literally sub/cancel in one go

which is what i did xD

iirc it was cheap

[tight marten]

Though you only have to pay for one month to get all of the story expansion to the point you payed for a month

[reef vine]

thats why i say sub, instant cancel after

[tight marten]

Unlike destiny or eso(?) where you need to buy each expansion individually

[warped hound]

I don't really mind spending money on games and dlcs, it's just that I find microtransactions as a slippery slope xD
Subscription though, if the game is actually enjoyable, I wouldn't mind

[reef vine]

yee, all the pay stuff i think is cosmetics

[tight marten]

Yee

[reef vine]

but i get ya lol

[tight marten]

And more character slots, or skipping straight to the expansions with a character

[warped hound]

That's a relief

[tight marten]

There are 8 classes and ≈50+ hours to get through the story lines for each which is all free stuff :0

And then the expansions are the same story for every class

[desert valve]

Wow every sims influencer got paralives early access

[little light]

Apparently we’re not missing much either

[desert valve]

I find it real funny that everybody is saying “it’s a early access game bugs will be there” but nobody gave Inzoi grace 🫢

[desert valve]

All now I can’t find a club ..I’m watching Xureila gameplay now

[little light]

It’s the hypocrisy for me. Especially coming from the main people who refused to give Inzoi a 2nd chance hopes everyone gives paralives a 2nd one

[upper prairie]

Oh wow did simsie review Paralives?

Since I saw somebody said she said she wouldn’t be doing inzoi

[desert valve]

She did Lmfoao

[little light]

I wouldn’t be surprised, she doesn’t like realistic looking games, Deligracy did also

[desert valve]

Paralives dev team must of gave everybody a check from the patreon donations

[upper prairie]

Chileeeeeeeeeee lmao

Not a check 😂😂😂

Well they ain’t giving the patronees the game lmao

[desert valve]

Everybody and their mama got early access 🫢

[little light]

They get to hide behind the indie title I guess

[desert valve]

They should’ve been the first ones tbh ..I would rather see real reviews

[upper prairie]

Not AND they mamas AND daddies AND grannies lol. I didn’t watch the trailer. I should tho lol.

Yeah they would’ve had me bent not giving me a game I’ve paid for many times over lol

But if they like it I love it chile lol

[desert valve]

They gave small influencers early access too ..

[little light]

Now I wanna count how many times they say something ain’t functional

[desert valve]

I would’ve called my bank to get this month subscription money back

[upper prairie]

“Hello id like to report a case of fraud”

[desert valve]

Everybody para folk look the same so far just different skin colour and blush

[toxic ginkgo]

was dat fantasia in the lets play clip yapping

[little light]

It was 😂

After the 4th “its not functional yet” I clicked off the video

The struggle run did it for me

[upper prairie]

Not after the 4th lol

[desert valve]

Satchonsims fake ahh was lying so bad

[desert valve]

LMFAOO

[upper prairie]

Satch gave it a positive? Lol

[little light]

He stay lying

[upper prairie]

That’s shocking lmao

He hate for fun.

[desert valve]

Chaos players will ask for a refund may 26 🫢 I’m calling it from now.

[spiral kelp]

was my fear tbh as a caz/cas creator. The ability to put in the game your own twist and having a distinct style. Feel paralive art is too pigeonhole-ie? but imma still try it once release cause why not lol

[little light]

It’s the awkward silence after realizing it ain’t functional for me

[desert valve]

If you buy it lol we will be waiting on the review ..thanks for taking one for the team 💖

[little light]

https://tenor.com/view/and-i-oop-jasmine-masters-whoa-gif-14100703

[upper prairie]

Lol what’s the price?

[spiral kelp]

same as inzoi im sure

[little light]

40 apparently

[spiral kelp]

funny noone was acting like "40 dollas?!!?! in this economy" but thats just what i peeped

[upper prairie]

Yeah I’ll prob try it. Just to see what it gives lol. I want all the lil life sims to do well.

https://tenor.com/view/40dollars-baby-boy-gif-10186449

Not????

[spiral kelp]

bro the i get comments all the time talking bout 40 dollars is steep for a EA game... what do you want me to do about thaT?

[upper prairie]

Not they want it to be $20 lol

[desert valve]

I don’t like the storyteller part about paralives ..I like to make my own storylines

[little light]

With the gameplay available that actually makes since

[desert valve]

They want it to be $10

[upper prairie]

Storylines? Oh I really need to watch the trailer. I thought we just showed up and played lol.

[spiral kelp]

nahh they want it free with all dlc included... sir/maam that not how the world works sims was dead 60 dollar base game for how long? The base game still feel like early access

[desert valve]

The game tells you what to do (that would annoy me )

I don’t even do missions when I play games like GTA

Parafolks walking into each other is another thing that would annoy me 😆

[upper prairie]

I do feel like their Patreon folks should get it but that’s probably not feasible from a profit standpoint.

[little light]

They have no problem paying for a 40 dollar sims pack of recolors

[upper prairie]

Oh wow, I thought it was going to be more sandbox style.

[desert valve]

Or a discount price since influencers got the game for free

[little light]

I can’t believe the haven’t optimized the game at this point

[upper prairie]

Oh this would’ve PMO bad lmao. I ain’t think of that.

[desert valve]

The real question is paralives patreon gonna get shut down after release day 🧐

[upper prairie]

Lmao I highly doubt it but I could be wrong

[latent stream]

thats my least favorite thing about it. i make up stories and even do playlists for whoever im making to make the gameplay feel more immersive. having a storyteller tell me what to do with MY character is not fun.

i do not like the missions either.

[ruby nacelle]

hey whit chocolate

[upper prairie]

Hiiiii, how are you? ☺️

[ruby nacelle]

im doing ok

[upper prairie]

Same, did you have a good day?

[ruby nacelle]

iv had an ok day

just my chest being bad

[upper prairie]

Is it on the mend? I know you said you were getting over an infection.

[ruby nacelle]

still waiting for the infection

[upper prairie]

I hope it improves soon 🤍. Any fun pc problems today? Lol

[toxic ginkgo]

https://klipy.com/gifs/lovely-babado--k01KS3YY1RP35GXHQEY86GT28K3

paralives looks like azz lol

[upper prairie]

Thank you for your opinion.

[toxic ginkgo]

ooofff 😂

[upper prairie]

That’s all we was missing.

[toxic ginkgo]

sorry didnt mean to offend ya with opinion on ya future fave game

[upper prairie]

Don’t start today 😂

[toxic ginkgo]

https://klipy.com/gifs/yes-big-sean--k01KS3Z9KMT3YGEJRV7YBZG4WZ2

[upper prairie]

It’s EOD.

[toxic ginkgo]

i said it so whattt

[upper prairie]

And I’m tired 😂

[toxic ginkgo]

lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[toxic ginkgo]

how did u know? lol tf

[ruby nacelle]

paraflops

[upper prairie]

Not paraflops omg 😭

[reef vine]

paralyze

[ruby nacelle]

hi nyami sauce

[reef vine]

hoi

[desert valve]

Lmfoao everybody got the same head shape with pink blush 🫢

[reef vine]

welp
about 5 days til the life sim civil war kicks off

[upper prairie]

Exactly Nyami lmao

[reef vine]

i stand firmly in the inzoi camp + sims 2

but i feel that sims 2 is its own thing by now

[upper prairie]

Me for TS2 as well. Inzoi I could desert for the right price. So I’m a mercenary.

[desert valve]

I need Kjun to be messy and drop the may update on the 26🫢

[upper prairie]

That would gag.

[reef vine]

im not leaving inzoi for paralyze

[little light]

I hope the May update releases with a grand trailer on the 25th

[reef vine]

if anything i'd just go back to sims 2

[desert valve]

It would be a stan war 😂

[upper prairie]

Oh well if para was the option, then no lmao

[reef vine]

after seeing how stupid sims fans are about inzoi vs para...

[upper prairie]

But TS2 just has my nostalgic heart

It’s hard to top

[reef vine]

honestly sims 2 has the best gameplay + good enough graphics

especially if you pull a me and mod it to the hilt + reshade

hmm
speaking of games should i play d4, swtor or sims

[desert valve]

Paralives character looks like a online colourinbook

[reef vine]

i just dont see the point of para if modded sims 2 exists

people who want to hassle with less mods + 'modernized'

maybe thats the hook lmao

which neither involve me

i will say it IS less ugly than sims 4

[desert valve]

I would only be interested if the alpha modders redo everything 🫢

[reef vine]

that is why i dont want to hassle
its going to take that amount

and at that point it will be ts4 all over again, alpha stuff with blocky clay crap mixed in

which brings me to
i hate clay hair

part of the reason i didnt like ts4

[upper prairie]

The storybook style gameplay has thrown me off. Imma go watch the trailer at some point lol.

[reef vine]

the card system is very 'why'

[desert valve]

Xureila video was disappointing lmfaoo she making friends with everyone like sis where is the gameplay 😆

Every life sim game you can make friends with npc’s 🥱

[little light]

Clay hair didn’t look good for years in the sims 4

[reef vine]

still doesnt
its not for me

[little light]

At first it looked like helmets

[reef vine]

life sims should look less cartoony imo

sims 2 had alpha hair in the vanilla bg i mean cmon

[little light]

The alpha hair in sims 4 irked me, and watch they do that with Paralives

[reef vine]

same
its a lose-lose for me

oh im seeing the storyteller thing

=.= its like rimworld

this kind of game doesnt really need that lmao

im looking at the 45 min video
just jumping around

i hate that they arent planning weight changes in game too
like that should always be an option in a life sim like this

blah
i hate to admit the gameplay doesnt look terrible

if only the graphics were not just 1 degree better than ts4 honestly

damn it
i might try it 💀 but im just not happy about the graphics, i feel like it will ultimately be the dealbreaker for me.
which is so, so sad.

[upper prairie]

Lmao!! I’ll likely try it too. I haven’t followed the development much but I figure for $40, why not?

[reef vine]

ughhh

[upper prairie]

I just know it’s supposed to be releasing. And was delayed lol.

[reef vine]

i feel like this is gonna be another situation where if we could combine x feature with y game it would make for a perfect game

which pisses me off

[upper prairie]

Ooo yes I get what you mean. Like we can never get all the features we need in a single package. I’m hoping Inzoi deepens and expands as they move through development. Same for Para.

[reef vine]

Exactly.

[upper prairie]

I know it’s no hope for TS4 tho lol

[reef vine]

oh no thats dead

lol ts4 has been history since cottage living for me

[ruby heart]

Well I’m not caring or bothered I aint buying it lol

[upper prairie]

Minai said it’s a chop 😂

[desert valve]

The beach is barely functioning lmfaooo no swimming for the para folks

[reef vine]

if somebody makes the graphics better i will consider

i may actually wait til its out of ea but idk

[ruby heart]

$40 is too expensive for that. Gotta reduce is to -$39.99 maybe we’ll talk

[desert valve]

Im looking forward to reading all the meltdown reviews

[reef vine]

wait its 40

[ruby heart]

Gurl me too LOL

[reef vine]

seems too pricey for what it is

[upper prairie]

Lmaoooooo

Imma wait till the first batch of players try it lol

[reef vine]

imo inzoi was a steal price wise

[upper prairie]

How much did we pay again? Lol

[reef vine]

40

[desert valve]

I can already see somebody complaining about doing everything in one game session 🫢

[upper prairie]

Yeah that was a deal for sure

[ruby heart]

But you know those zombie fans are gonna sit there staring at the screen not doing anything and being like “this game is GREAT”

[upper prairie]

They have to stay committed to the bit, they’re 7 years in lmao

[reef vine]

ngl im like this with inzoi at times

[upper prairie]

It’s like a toxic relationship 😂

[reef vine]

and i hate it
because its beautiful but i get bored

[ruby heart]

Inzoi I didn’t have a patreon account for lol

[reef vine]

oh i mean just the staring at the screen trying to find fun part

[upper prairie]

Same Nyami, same. Beautiful package. Not enough dopamine 😅

[reef vine]

i dont use patreon

[radiant swan]

One thing is for sure tho its good competition for all life sim games hopefully this pushes for more detailed and better games

That's what I'm hoping for

[reef vine]

this is precisely WHY i am so frustrated
i dont want to pick BETWEEN graphics and gameplay
shouldnt that crap be aio

[ruby heart]

Yeah feel bad for em but what you gonna do 🤷🏿‍♂️

I think unity is fine for simulation games

[reef vine]

hope to god we can get graphics + perfect gameplay in one game

[upper prairie]

Agreed. Competition in the market place is always good.

[reef vine]

hoping inzoi will eventually be it

[upper prairie]

Every one is going to have to define what makes them different and “better” as THEE life sim now.

[reef vine]

grudgingly putting this crap on my wishlist

💀 maybe on a sale

it just needs to not be cartoony if it wants me to play it

[upper prairie]

Yes maybe people will do all the things people do to make it look better? Lol

[ruby heart]

“Alpha cc”

[reef vine]

pray for it lmao
the para are too cartoony
and i hate alpha cc in a cartoony world

[upper prairie]

I sit in the middle, I like realism and cartoony. So I could go either way lol. But it’s definitely very very cartoony.

[reef vine]

i still feel like i could just stick on sims 2

[ruby heart]

Oh gawd I see alpha and I’m like

[upper prairie]

You’ll never go wrong sticking with TS2 lol.

[reef vine]

except no body sliders

thats the one problem i have with it

[upper prairie]

Oh I thought they would’ve had that as a mod too.

[reef vine]

nobody can figure them out as a mod

[upper prairie]

Mmmmmmmm.

[reef vine]

ive been begging people to look more into it

[upper prairie]

No traction I would assume?

[reef vine]

sims 2 supports lua with a mod now

im hoping one day somebody will crack it using that

[upper prairie]

You said the community is still very active so maybe they will!

[reef vine]

yeah it is
its just nobody can figure it out or wants to

and i would try but honestly that level is beyond me

[reef vine]

man, im just looking at the paralives characters and wondering just how the hell i can make an accurate rl person with it....

ughhh
why does it have to be this way

ive seen exactly 0 celebrity recreations

without that i just dont think im going to get it 😭

[stiff hill]

you dont have to its your choice

[reef vine]

i know
but my point is it just makes me so sad that inzoi cant have gameplay thats more fun atm

i want these games blended into one 😭

[stiff hill]

its a game in progress, good things take time

[reef vine]

i hope so, man

for me its like
inzoi good graphics meh gameplay
and paralives is meh graphics good (from what i can see) gameplay
why cant we just get both

😭 i dont mean to diss inzoi its just i want it to be more engaging

the graphics are a perfect 10

but i rarely can play more than one zoi day without needing a break 💀

[stiff hill]

again patience is needed for a game in progress

[reef vine]

which i am not patient alas lmao

[stiff hill]

maybe play another game or take a break with inzoi

[reef vine]

yeah its what im doing

im just frustrated rn with this paralives stuff lol

[stiff hill]

some people are excited for it, what can you do? personally i plan to try it at least

[reef vine]

my frustration is coming from why it cant look better

💀

[stiff hill]

not our choice tbh its the devs choice of design

[reef vine]

anyway i feel like im just going in circles about this blah

choice paralysis is bad enough for me rn

[ruby heart]

My moms cell phone broke 😭

[reef vine]

oof

[little light]

What gameplay exactly?

[ruby heart]

I also have to do another rma 🙁

[warped hound]

Hello people

[warped hound]

Oh crap, did it like break break?

Or just damaged

[ruby heart]

Broke broke I think from system corruption I assume

[warped hound]

Software related issue then?

Hardware is fine?

[ruby heart]

And now I need a new gpu 🙁 but yeah my moms phone is done

[warped hound]

If it's under warrantly, and it's a software related issue, you could get it fixed for free, no?

[ruby heart]

My computer yes my moms phone no 🙁

[tough jolt]

I'll probably cycle thru Inzoi, Paralives ( because I do like Rimworld so now I'm curious abut that aspect in Paralives) and Sims 3 depending on my mood. All of these games can coexist on my computer lol It's not like it's going to force me to make a choice between life Sims lol I'll play whatever I'm in the mood for. Right now I'm hoping for a Tomodachi Life update, does this game ever add more content? I love it so far but I wonder if its like Animal Crossing where it only got updated with new content three times

[stiff hill]

are we back

[reef vine]

back from?

[reef vine]

my whole issue is choice paralysis
for example i struggled with it all day and more thought about what to do than actually enjoy anything

i am just so unfocused
idk if its getting worse because of so many games or if im simply bored of them all lol

it could also be period related lmao 😭

[stiff hill]

discord dying

was out for a good 20 mins

[reef vine]

o 💀 did it die? i missed it

[tough jolt]

Having a lot of options can be overwhelming, like when you go to a buffet and you just stand there because of all the choices, I get that

[reef vine]

yeah its been days since i actually sat down focused and did much

but like i said could also be seriously period related because that is when its the worst for me

[tough jolt]

I'm sorry to hear that, Nyami

[little light]

I wonder how much money in packs that equates to? 😳

[reef vine]

also idk if tomodachi typically gets updates

[stiff hill]

its gotten a couple bug fixes but i wouldnt expect anything major till holidays

[tough jolt]

Six years monthly at the $5 dollar tier for six years...I'm bad at math lol

Or the highest tier of $20

[ruby heart]

Help does anyone else’s gpu make a sound when playing inzoi

[little light]

Unless they had a higher tier

[reef vine]

i sense im being a serious nuisance lately so i should prolly just step back

[reef vine]

not that i know of

[tough jolt]

I think the highest was $20

[little light]

Even at 5 that’s 360

[reef vine]

my pc buzzes daily inzoi or not idk whats up with it

[ruby heart]

Aww man have to do another rma my gpu is buzzing

It’s only 7 months old

[reef vine]

lmao
my pc has buzzed for ages
i do nothing about it and it still stands

might be nothing, but dont let me tell you lmao

[little light]

Or 1440 which would buy most of the sims 4 collection….not including the base game..

[ruby heart]

Oh ok…I was scared because it’s recent

[reef vine]

like i said, dont let me tell you cause it could be anything and i dunno crap about hardware

[ruby heart]

I just hope they accept my rma :/ but I don’t want to do another one

I should have just built the damn thing instead of ibuycrap

[desert valve]

Most of the subbies went for the highest tier for townies to have their full name 💀

So the only fun thing to do so far is play card game and go the gym 🧐

[warped hound]

Wait, how do paralives and rimworld relate with each other?

[tough jolt]

Paralives has story tellers, apparently

[upper prairie]

Have you watched the gameplay video Flor?

[warped hound]

Ooh

[tough jolt]

Bits and pieces but not much lol I liked the train part but I didn't see anything groundbreaking in the little that I watched

Ah okay I didn't realize that, I didn't watch much of trailer or gameplay to be totally honest

[upper prairie]

I need to dive into it. I’ll do it tomorrow lol!

[toxic ginkgo]

just do it nah, u aint got shi up rn fr

[upper prairie]

I know you were taught to stay out of grown folk’s business. I just know it.

[toxic ginkgo]

we waiting for ya opinion

[upper prairie]

I don’t know why 😂

[reef vine]

alight time for fallout but this time without livewatching

2 more eps

[verbal laurel]

Absolutely not related at all with InZoi or stuff.
But I sketched a picture of a fictional captain (I am a huge startrek fan) when I was 10-12 years old... long ago.
(first pic) and asked ChatGPT to update her, took me half an hour but got it 95% right (couldn't get GPT to do the spaulder right). But the result is... fantastic.

My talent as an artist are basic, but this is modern technology for ya.
Anyways, felt I had to share. Good night everyone (well, soon anyways)

[reef vine]

nice

1 more ep of fallout...questioning ghoul's choices 💀

me when house shows up on screen:

https://giphy.com/gifs/russell-sequel-qiDb8McXyj6Eg

i legit hate him
which is sad because i thought his concept was cool on the nv game

i just want him to stay away from my man lol

[verbal laurel]

The show wasn't as bad as I thought it would be

[reef vine]

its got issues though
but i love the goggster lol

[verbal laurel]

not perfect, but could have easily been far worse.
( cough ) startrek discovery / academy ( cough )

[reef vine]

yeah haha

walton goggins is the show for me

[verbal laurel]

Yeah he fits.

[reef vine]

😁

he's fit

lmao! i think he's cute

he can even be kinda cute as a ghoul in his own way (cooper though? HOT)

[verbal laurel]

ummm... I can see it.
The nose thing tho... not my thing

[reef vine]

XD

as ghoul you mean? lol aww poor guy

[verbal laurel]

yeah

[reef vine]

😭 aww he can't help it
my big issue with ghoul is only ||him eating people|| i almost quit the show cause of it

lmao, even though it makes sense for canon
it was just so upsetting and i hope they are done bringing that up

with him at least

[verbal laurel]

maybe. In interview with a vampire, they ate quite a lot of ppl as well... lots of red flowing ... 😵‍💫

[reef vine]

yee but isnt it just vampires drinking blood?

the ghoul to me still feels so, so human 😭

[verbal laurel]

it was mostly at the beginning they let out after a while.
Heh.
Gotta go, work tomorrow. See you around.

[reef vine]

ahh good lol see ya

holy crap i didnt even make the connection that lady's brain was basically the mainframe for the cheery peeps at vault tech, glad i googled the episode
a lot was confusing but i only played nv, 4 and 76 and that was a long while ago lol

[scarlet hearth]

-# Didn't ghoul eat 🍖?

[reef vine]

ghoul deserves better
COOPER DESERVES EVEN MORE BETTER

i hope house dies in the next ep and stays dead but i dont think i will get that lucky

he is the brand of smarmy that i DONT like

lmao the brand of smarmy i like is carter burke and any william atherton char

and hank ig
i just think he's likable in his own way cause he's the other cooper lmao!

https://giphy.com/gifs/twin-peaks-dale-cooper-thumbs-up-11KzAJHqRIbfwY

[scarlet hearth]

Burke reminds me a bit of Matt Edmondson 😅

[reef vine]

alright i absolutely must google whoever that is

burke was the original rupert!!!

hmmm i can see it

just a little

a british burke...

damn thats just too powerfully hot in theory lol

but i also cant picture burke as british

😂 he's got that brooklyn accent i could never take it away from him!

ngl edmondson almost is reminscent of 🧑‍🔧

not completely but the resemblance is there iirc

there's something so comical about this emoji and i dont know what it is but i always get a laugh out of it every time

[scarlet hearth]

-# It's new and cute

[reef vine]

yea it is both xD

[scarlet hearth]

👋 polka~

[worn wolf]

Sup 🤣

[scarlet hearth]

[worn wolf]
