off-topic-chat

[verbal gulch]

He's gushing over it but also acting the same, aka "I'm confused, devs fix my confusion"

[reef vine]

meh.

[verbal gulch]

He didn't know how to make his own Para even though theres a really big box in the corner saying "Make new household" so he went with a default lol

[worn wolf]

Classic brainless satch 💀

[verbal gulch]

I think he likes the leveling and "quests", which makes sense because with Inzoi he didn't know what to do so I guess he likes hand holding?

[worn wolf]

Paralives definitely does a lot of that 💀

Something I hated about the sims 4 with a passion

Cause after a thousand hours, I dont think i need a tutorial 💀

[reef vine]

i gave the para video a quick glance and idk how to judge it from that but it didnt look too terrible, then again it was literally the briefest of glances

[worn wolf]

Same, I only watched shorts

[reef vine]

and i mean the gameplay
the graphics are ugly as ever...

i jumped around the 45 min youtube

[verbal gulch]

I wouldn't mind Inzoi having skill challenges (like in TS3 when you max out a skill, then theres other things to achieve) but levelling and exp gain is abit weird in a life sim lol

[reef vine]

i did it for less than 5 min lol

[worn wolf]

If anything, im not watching any influencer videos since theyre known to sell you a product. Id rather wait to hear from people

[worn wolf]

Ive been requesting this for so long 😭

[reef vine]

im just on swtor rn and the chat is insane lol

[worn wolf]

The skill challenge i mean

[verbal gulch]

Yassss, I loved that about TS3 😄

[worn wolf]

Hands down the best part about it

Especially the mixology skill challenges

[verbal gulch]

100%! I always did that and the fitness ones 😮

[reef vine]

i have 0 memory of this ts3 feature

[worn wolf]

And the sim fu one

[worn wolf]

If you go to the skill journal, there are skill challenges and completing them will grant you special perks

[reef vine]

ah

sound extremely vaguely familiar lol

[worn wolf]

I just wish it was 64 bit 🥲

And maybe bring in sims 4 infants and toddlers and it's a masterpiece

With the $40 infant dlc but base game

[verbal gulch]

Nah remove babies completely please, they don't earn the household money

[worn wolf]

Bruh, youtube just recommended me a paralives video and I decided to maybe give it a try. She cried 5 seconds in and i was done 💀💀

[verbal gulch]

I just realized I turn into Mr.Krabbs when playing life sims....

[reef vine]

cried?

[worn wolf]

Cried 💀💀💀

[reef vine]

who? the baby?

[verbal gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-krabs-money-spongebob-gif-16807794896076753543

[worn wolf]

Because she gets to play it

[reef vine]

WTF 💀

[worn wolf]

THE YOUTUBER

[reef vine]

same difference in this case...

[worn wolf]

Thats why I was done 😭😭

[verbal gulch]

Wow its that bad she cried ?

[worn wolf]

Its so bad appeatantly that she cried before she even opened the game 😭😭

[verbal gulch]

LMAO Jesus, is she 5?

[worn wolf]

If only 😭

We talking about a grown 🍑 woman here 😭

[reef vine]

lmao

the peach...

[worn wolf]

The a word is banned, so 🤷🏼‍♀️

[verbal gulch]

Grown peaches are the worst!

[reef vine]

its just funny xD

[worn wolf]

You just a hater

[worn wolf]

But anyways, it gives lil simsie crying over toilet paper swatches 💀💀

[reef vine]

wtf...

[worn wolf]

Hence why I dont watch influencers 💀

[verbal gulch]

Stop LOL

[reef vine]

same i hate em

[worn wolf]

Im not even lying 😭

[reef vine]

youtubers imo are just meh

or w/e they are

[verbal gulch]

Why are they called "Influencers" ? Are they influencing people to cry?

[reef vine]

they influence brainrot ig

i dont know really, i dont watch any but they sound dum

[worn wolf]

There are some good ones i enjoy. Best in jest cause theyre funny af and rotten mango for true crime docuseries 🤣

The rest are meh

[reef vine]

lol

i just dont bother with internet 'celebs'

[worn wolf]

Well, to buy, but i guess crying comes with a price tag 💀

[verbal gulch]

I cried an hour ago when I realized I had to open my work laptop.... am I an influencer ?

"Hi guys, come with me to my boring office job"

"Hi guys, come with me to pay bills"

"Hi guys, come with me to disassociate on the sofa for an hour"

[worn wolf]

I know youre joking, but these are legit video titles ive seen 😭😭

[verbal gulch]

Well atleast they're realistic! 🤣

[worn wolf]

YouTube recently recommended me a short of somebody riding the bike downtown. And I was like "now why tf would I watch that?" 💀

[verbal gulch]

This is what my short recommended is like 💅

[worn wolf]

Bro 🙏😭

I do get art video recommendations. Unfortunately, sometimes when I stay for all of it, the end result looks like it was done by a 3yo

[verbal gulch]

Thanks for watching my shorts 💃

Oh wow I watched 40 mins of this snatch vid so far...

The things I do to avoid doing actual work

[reef vine]

💀

i have one ep of fallout to go
once i finish, i wonder if i'll go back to rupert

[verbal gulch]

Surprisingly, not the earliest I seen Ruperts name

[worn wolf]

You're dedicated 💀

[verbal gulch]

I'll be honest, I sorta zoned out for 10 mins of it lmao

[worn wolf]

Now the real question is how long until not malcolm simps for paralives 💀

[verbal gulch]

2 seconds I guess

I like that para's teleport all over the place when you speed up

[worn wolf]

Wouldnt be surprised if he's already working on a video ngl 😭

[verbal gulch]

He gained like 5 exercise skill while asleep lol buggyyyyy

[worn wolf]

Ive seen a short of them doing pushups through the wall

[verbal gulch]

That too lol

[worn wolf]

Or he lifts in his sleep 😭

[verbal gulch]

I wish I could do that lmao

[worn wolf]

You just need to find a mr genie and ask him very nicely

[verbal gulch]

I thought I met one on a night out, Atleast I think he was a genie, he told me to release him via his lamp 🙁

[worn wolf]

But anyways, I forsee paralives being all the hype for like 3 days and then falling off the face of the earth after a week

Aka when most dedicated players reach close to 100 hours

[verbal gulch]

That's my prediction too lol when people fill up the museum, they'll get bored

[worn wolf]

Probably even earlier. Especially if the museum has no reward

Hell, stardew valley museum had a reward, but it didnt exactly keep me in the game 💀

[verbal gulch]

Also true, I don't even know what family play is like in this game tbh

[worn wolf]

The toddlers gave me the creeps, so im not holding my breath

I also havent seen a lot of group interactions going on, another deal breaker

[verbal gulch]

Um actually, they can walk, talk and play one game together? Soooo many options! 😮

[worn wolf]

Omg, fr? Im pre-ordering rn!!!! 😭🤣😭

[verbal gulch]

The cafe's don't clean dishes, his cafe had dirty dishes on all the tables 👀

[worn wolf]

Theyll probably be staying there until early access ends 💀

If you play day 1 save, chances are it'll look like a hoarders cafe

[verbal gulch]

Hoarders Cafe in Inzoi WHEN!?!

[worn wolf]

Ask kjun on friday 😭🤣

Or you can ask the paralives devs rn if you open up yoir wallet 😇

[verbal gulch]

Star Gazing Festival: Was just him and he star gazed once, exciting stuff!

[verbal gulch]

I'll pass 😄

[worn wolf]

That's literally what I saw when they made the annlicment that it's coming into the game, and didnt understand why people are getting hyped over it 💀

It's the same for the other festivals too

Come to a deserted lot, do the activity once, leave

Inzoi walking through walls and floors when? 🥺

[verbal gulch]

If only 😭

I think the secret story in Para is that everyone died and the train is taking them to the afterlife 🙂

[worn wolf]

Also, this looks like an unremdered head model 😭

[worn wolf]

Lemme guess.... the train is basically the selection menu and has absolutely no effect on gameplay?

[verbal gulch]

The more he's playing the laggier it's getting, so much stutter 😭

[verbal gulch]

The train is where you create your para

[worn wolf]

aham

And people didn't believe me 😭

[worn wolf]

So.... selection menu

Like town view in sims 3

Well, edit map view, but potato pothato

[verbal gulch]

I think the train is a cute addition ngl

[worn wolf]

Thsts what i though, yeah 💀

[verbal gulch]

It also teaches you how to walk and move the camera, so sorta like a para maker and tutorial before you reach town

[worn wolf]

Cause ive seen people on the paralives reddit losing their heads 💀

[worn wolf]

It's cute, yeah, but the appeal will die real fast

Also, the train is probbaly the most population you'll see 😭

[verbal gulch]

Well my review so far is

Things I like:
Build mode
Job Perk system

Things I don't like:
The para themselves
The way there's no ceiling in the building so sunlight hits the whole room
The movement & Jankiness
Bugs (obvs)
Hand holding
Rabbit hole jobs

Ah that's just early access bugs tho

[worn wolf]

Basically, what I already knew since last year

[verbal gulch]

Yeah 😄 lmao

[worn wolf]

Build mode looks fun, but idk how long it'll hold my attention

[verbal gulch]

I'm a builder so I could spend hours on it, although I would miss Inzoi's 3D printer

[worn wolf]

......im not gonna comment what I wanna say cause i'll get banned 💀

Im a builder too, but i also enjoy playing in the houses i make

[reef vine]

ill risk being banned instead 🤓
WHY IS UNCLE BABY BILLY SO CUTE LOOKING

[verbal gulch]

Oh yeah I never play in premade or other peoples houses 😭

[reef vine]

why cant i watch this show 😭 WHY DONT I HAVE MAX

[worn wolf]

Same. I cant trust people to make what im looking for 🤣

[verbal gulch]

At the risk of being banned, people still pay for streaming? 💀

[reef vine]

now that IS a risk

[worn wolf]

Bad

[reef vine]

🤣 thats an actual proper ban risk

girls wanna be her 😭

[worn wolf]

Wait... height sliders making animations worse? 🤯🤯🤯 (sarcasm)

[verbal gulch]

Ah I love smoking my coffee in the morning

[worn wolf]

His shoulder does look thirsty though

It does

But there's a reason very few games out there have a height slider

[reef vine]

yee, animations bork easily with that

[worn wolf]

And those that do usually only have a limited amount of animations

And no person to person animations

Like tomodachi life. It's got a height slider, but the miis never actially touch one another

[verbal gulch]

Side note, anyone see if Para has a Canvas equivalent yet? Its a must for builders 😅

[worn wolf]

So expect a para making out with another one's forehead

[reef vine]

its especially a must for non builders...lmao

[worn wolf]

I believe the steam workshop is it

[verbal gulch]

Ah, I thought that was just for mods lol

[worn wolf]

Unlikely they'll actually make a canvas/gallery

[worn wolf]

It is, and you can upload houses as mods

[verbal gulch]

Suppose they'd need beefy servers for those

[worn wolf]

Yeah, but they spent all their money on the height sliders

[verbal gulch]

And build mode!

[worn wolf]

Gotta love the resizeable couches paras walk through 🥰

[verbal gulch]

This video looks like it sums up Paralives & sims players tbh

[verbal gulch]

ngl, resizable objects like sofa's and beds is sorta neat tho! (aslong as you don't actually play the game after)

[worn wolf]

But honestly, just windows, paintings and carpets would have been enough

[worn wolf]

Thats why im saying it would have been a cool building game

Not so much as a life sim though

Speaking of building games, appearantly tiny glade is #1

[verbal gulch]

Yeah but that's a build only game, I need gameplay too 😭

[worn wolf]

Then I dont think paralives in its current state is the game for you 💀

[tender egret]

Lmaooo the comments under TS4 posts are definitely roasting that game 😂

[reef vine]

para? for real?

[verbal gulch]

Excuse me!?

[reef vine]

i thought sims people were all over it

[worn wolf]

Stoopppp 😭😭😭😭

[tender egret]

Idk it looks too cartoony for me

[reef vine]

hot
jk NOT

[reef vine]

same, too cartoony

[verbal gulch]

I thought he'd be your type ngl

[worn wolf]

He's gay anyways 😭

[tender egret]

After having beautiful people on Inzoi it would feel odd to play Para

[tender egret]

I used to have this luck that i fell for gay guys

[reef vine]

i have that fear tbh

[verbal gulch]

Ugh same, luckily I am gay 💅

[reef vine]

i do NOT want to fall for gay guys that is the most heartbreaking feeling for me lmao

[tender egret]

I mean yes, you get a buddy who doesn't treat you like an object or expect relationship from you but when you fall for them, it hurts because they're literally sweethearts

[worn wolf]

Inzoi definitely spoiled me on that regard. There were a lot of people complaining that all zois are too attractive, but if I wanted to spend hours looking at ugly people, I'd go outside 💀

[reef vine]

lmfao!!!

[worn wolf]

Tbf, they do usually take care of themselves better than straight guys

[tender egret]

So people are roasting EA for dinner now

[verbal gulch]

LMAO don't look at me right now... I mean yeah! We totally do... 👀

[tender egret]

I guess they reap what they sow

Or they're oblivious to what they sow

[verbal gulch]

Gays look like they take care of themselves on a night out or if we're expecting guests, but in our alone time or with really close mates? Oh hell nah, we messy as hell 🤣

[worn wolf]

My dude, if you have toilet paper inside your toilet paper holder instead of on top and a kitchen towel, you're better than 90% of straight guys 😭🙏

[reef vine]

lmao what xD

[tender egret]

Bruh, they're still complaining about the sims incestous relationships 🤣 i thought they fixed it

[worn wolf]

It's a scary world out there 💀

[verbal gulch]

I have a toilet paper holder... my toilet paper is sitting ontop of the toilet 💅

[worn wolf]

Maybe my friend is just an enigmat then 😭

[verbal gulch]

Who has the 2 seconds it takes to put new toilet paper into the holder??

[worn wolf]

It's 2 seconds though 😭

[verbal gulch]

Oh see if I had peeps coming over, I'd put it in there for sure

[vale zealot]

wtf

[reef vine]

LMAO!!!

[verbal gulch]

BORNNN FREEEE

[reef vine]

where is the CHEST

im so confused by the pic XD

[verbal gulch]

Me when I look in the mirror nowadays

[reef vine]

it looks blurred out?

[worn wolf]

Skinny dipping in early access? 😭

[reef vine]

WHERE IS THE BUTT CHEEK

WHY AM I ASKING THESE QUESTIONS

[worn wolf]

It isnt, its just not drawn 😭

[verbal gulch]

what ya mean? It's ALL cheek 💃

[worn wolf]

The face says it all 💀

[reef vine]

poor certain modders have their work cut out for them

[verbal gulch]

Hi Cazy!

[vale zealot]

Going to the gym now

[reef vine]

i mean really
the behind looks less behind than a barbie doll

[worn wolf]

These knees look quite developed to me 😭

[verbal gulch]

Who are they?

[reef vine]

one line to draw booty
just ONE
and they didnt deliver

🤣

and yet the knees are hyper freakalistic

[scarlet hearth]

Sims 3? the Vulkan wrapper supposedly help manage some memory I think, should be more stable dxvk but the rest still... slow there also asi mod to help but it looks a bit much (like code injection and let custom code run)

[worn wolf]

Also, do they know anatomy? Cause it's the first time im seeing these as defined

[verbal gulch]

Like this?

[worn wolf]

Imma have to look into it, thank you!

[reef vine]

im telling you the lines on these bodies are so senseless

[scarlet hearth]

😭 I'm slow but the height slider thing, inZOI have retarget hands animation to object so it might still be possible but not extreme degree

[reef vine]

ive hated them since day 1

[worn wolf]

Also, these butt dips are only on 20% of the populations, so idk why they decided to equip em on all paras

[reef vine]

how do they even look in swimwear
if the chest is that undefined lmao

[verbal gulch]

My hubby has them and I'm so jelly!

[reef vine]

or is that the feminine bodytype

[worn wolf]

More for you 🤣🤣

[tender egret]

Noo butt-quack?

[reef vine]

[tender egret]

I wonder do people know they have to use turn signal?

Has anyone rushed to the bus stop just for the transport to be late? 😭

[worn wolf]

So the black lines are one thing....

But why the white ones 💀

[reef vine]

why

WHY?!

[tender egret]

I would flip out if i drew them and just left it like that

[worn wolf]

You also generally arent supposed to draw highlights at the top there cause it just looks weird 💀

[tender egret]

They probably need glute exercises

[tender egret]

Even Barbies in 00's looked better

[scarlet hearth]

Wait I think it's definitely a bug, I remember defined chest guys in earlier screenshots

[tender egret]

That's a nip confusion

[reef vine]

i think its the feminine chest...

[worn wolf]

Dimples of Venus is something you're born with. Also, theyre NEVER that big 😭

[reef vine]

i may be wrong lol

[worn wolf]

I guess they were trying to go for this, but you gotta be hella muscular 🤔

[tender egret]

Lords of nervous systems please help, it's hot in the bus and there's like 20 school age kids in here. I can hear them through my music in headphones 😭

[verbal gulch]

Who Is She!?!?

Asking for a friend 👀

[worn wolf]

Also, the shoulder blades look like back boobs 😭

[reef vine]

Lmao...they do...

[worn wolf]

Rawr 🫢😏

[worn wolf]

But 100% of this could've been prevented if they looked at a reference at least once

[tender egret]

Looks like art student's unfinished work lol

The same type of people who would say Leonardo Da Vinci's art is poor quality

[scarlet hearth]

😅 I think there's gonna be a lot of stuff once it's out, models and new skin textures

I wanna try but the Steam Workshop is not something I wanna upload to (but a good place to download and update mods imo)

[tender egret]

Type music i listen to while working out. Ok actually it's on shuffle

I keep forgetting that people from US are mostly here

[zenith dirge]

footage from the gameplay video?

[zenith dirge]

TIL humans don't have butts

hey polka, why are you investigating the nude backside of character models...

Heh some cats like water. We had a cat once that would get into the shower with you. Loved the warm water.

[verbal gulch]

imma gonna try Persona 5 again even though yesterday it crashed with the warning:
"system detected overrun of stack based buffer"
Then my whole PC froze and I had to do a manual restart.... happened 3 times this year, no idea how to fix it 💀

[pliant tree]

Throw money at it!

[verbal gulch]

Does it take card? 👀

[pliant tree]

heh nah sounds like a software bug. Prob some optimization issue.

Oh I have no idea what the sys requirements for P5 is.

[scarlet hearth]

Monitor the temps and set frame limit maybe?

[pliant tree]

Dont they have a discord? Ask there.

[verbal gulch]

See I thought it might just be the game but it happened when I was watchin a movie once too, that time I had to reinstall my internet drivers 💀

[scarlet hearth]

🫣 Workplace spy?

What a cool setup

[verbal gulch]

Probs just malware 😄 I did a bunch of system resets and updates yesterday, hopefully that fixed it 👀

[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!

[scarlet hearth]

Also check process that eating up cpu and ram in task manager

[pliant tree]

Also maybe check the 'healfth' of your ssd. While its only a vague indication its worth a look.

[stoic carbon]

and where are you from?

[verbal gulch]

Is Discord supposed to be this high? 💀

[tender egret]

Eastern Europe

[scarlet hearth]

Mine sit at 1.2gb 😅 it is quite high

[verbal gulch]

Jesus 🤣

[stoic carbon]

I just thought maybe it wasn't far from Khabarovsk.

[tender egret]

Idk what it is

[verbal gulch]

Good call, checking now 😄

[stoic carbon]

You could say I live on the border with China.

Well, it's not far from Korea, 12 hours by car.

[tender egret]

And i live on the border with Russia sigh

[stoic carbon]

I don't know, I'm happy with everything in Russia.

[tender egret]

Until the drones between Russia and Ukraine get lost in here and make people panic over their safety

We've got long history of being part of Russia

[verbal gulch]

98% health on the olde SSD's apparently, so they're still good lol

[pliant tree]

Worth a look but honestly I have my doubts about that health check thing. But there is nothing else you can do.

[verbal gulch]

I used CrystalDiskInfo which is apparently good / safe to use 😅 meh I'll see if it happens again before panicking 😄 Thanks anyway 🙂

[pliant tree]

Yea thats what I use too. But have heard .. uhh.. things. But dont wanna up your anxiety any more 😄
Most likely is NOT your issue.

[stoic carbon]

I can say I come from such a hole that if you look outside it feels like 2015.

[verbal gulch]

Oh I heard it can kill your SSD faster but only by a really small amount that a 1 time use won't really do anything, I've uninstalled it again after the one use anyway just in case 😄

[stoic carbon]

If I find a video, I'll send you how I rode with my friends.

[pliant tree]

No thats not it at all. What Ive heard that even when the program returns 'good' results the drive can still fail in the blink of the eye with little to no warning.
Just BAM no work no more.

[verbal gulch]

Oh that's good 🙂 🤣

[scarlet hearth]

-# 😅 I also heard SSD can just go without a sign...

[pliant tree]

Its why I run full system backups weekly.

[verbal gulch]

And I oop! It didn't save a whole palace run, Guess I'll move onto the next game 💀

[pliant tree]

Oh its one of those where if you fail you have to start way back at the beginning again?

[verbal gulch]

Its one of those with no autosave, guess I forgot to manually save it recently 💀

[stoic carbon]

Oh, I found a video.

[verbal gulch]

Is that Ireland or the UK? 👀

[pliant tree]

Oppsie.. save early save often 😄

[verbal gulch]

I usually doooo, dunno why I didn't now 💀

[warped hound]

Windows killed 2 of my SSDs and 1 HDD last year(?) or the year before that

[scarlet hearth]

Our chat maybe

[pliant tree]

Windows killed it?

[warped hound]

I'm sure some of you might remember the mention of it online

[pliant tree]

I havent have an SSD fail yet.. Knock on wood.

[warped hound]

I think you missed the news from last year then xD

[stoic carbon]

In Russia, there are places where people drive on the right hand drive because Japan is nearby.

[warped hound]

Just look up windows killing ssd

Windows pushed an update which bricked a lot of SSDs and HDDs

[verbal gulch]

Ohhhh, close enough 😅

[scarlet hearth]

Mine's broke last year...

[warped hound]

Mine are completely bricked, still in my drawer

And no more under warranty sadlyh

Kinda wish a lot of big companies sued em for it

[warped hound]

I thought it just just a me incident, until I heard the news of windows killing drives spreading online like a wid fire

[pliant tree]

Guess I got lucky and missed it.

[ruby nacelle]

my account restriction was removed

[stoic carbon]

If you buy it from Japan, you can get a 2022 Honda Accord for $37,361.

[warped hound]

What are we seeing here 🤔 ram usage?

Also.. why are you using chrome 😔

[ruby nacelle]

steam support told me the target was neutralized

[pliant tree]

Cool hod you do it?

Im still fighting with Rockstar

[ruby nacelle]

basically steam could see my account had a breach locked my account down untill i contacted then

[pliant tree]

Freakin rockstar.. dont get me started.
They ask all kinds of specific questions including a unique steam ID and they still say "We cant prove the account is yours".
Zero contact with a human. Just a form letter.

[warped hound]

Steam support is the best when it comes to comprised accounts

[pliant tree]

Its jsut easier for them to blow you off and figure youll start a new account.

[warped hound]

They are extremely helpful

[ruby nacelle]

they also gave me a $100 gift card

[warped hound]

Well damn

[pliant tree]

Oh thats cool!

[ruby nacelle]

gabe the goat

W

[stiff hill]

ive never heard of steam support giving gift cards

[warped hound]

Same

[ruby nacelle]

they sometimes

they just gave a guy any free game on the store because his steam controller got delayed

[stiff hill]

[ruby nacelle]

the guy picked FH6

[warped hound]

I should get my account compromised sometime for a freebie 😔

[pliant tree]

Meanwhile Rockstar wont give me the time of day

[scarlet hearth]

lol nice choice

[ruby nacelle]

basically the guy was from denmark but the controller went to the UK

[stoic carbon]

the weather is as usual

[ruby nacelle]

so he contacted steam and they basically said for the delay you can have any free standard game on the store

[scarlet hearth]

Valve 😅

[pliant tree]

Valve=Steam Rockstar=pita

[warped hound]

What's pita

[scarlet hearth]

Oops 😅 I thought you meant Steam

[cunning jacinth]

ah so he's gonna put the cost in your wallet or just approve a license?
I misread lol

[cunning jacinth]

omg where

[warped hound]

Let's get our accounts compromised 🤫

[cunning jacinth]

MFAs harder

[ruby nacelle]

Steam don't mess around 💀

[cunning jacinth]

oh nice!

[scarlet hearth]

🫣... is it the same 4 pics your discord sent?

[cunning jacinth]

also, Steam neutralized a person omg

[ruby nacelle]

i hear jokes about steam doing that

[pliant tree]

Pain & suffering 😄

[ruby nacelle]

i didn't think they actually did it

[stiff hill]

still seems odd to me

compensation for protecting your account

[pliant tree]

Meh its a preventative strike which costs Steam actually very little. A 'token' gesture if you will.

[ruby nacelle]

well i have heard stories of steam giving people free games for that reason

[verbal gulch]

Yeah like someone hacked his account and he got paid? Strange lol

[pliant tree]

If you know the price difference between Steam 'giving' a game and you having to purchase a gam you would cry.

Youve heard the phrase pennys on the dollar? Well try pennies on the 10 dollars.

[ruby nacelle]

i mean this came from the offical support ticket so what do i do

[verbal gulch]

On a completely different note... anyone wanna hack into my account for funsies? 👀

[cunning jacinth]

unrelated, I want subnautica 2...

[ruby nacelle]

iv got subnautica 2

[pliant tree]

Ive got several hours in it and can offically say... its 'okay'.

Stil quite a few loose ends

[ruby nacelle]

game is empty atm since its still EA

[pliant tree]

The biggest thing missing is quidance. There are some things you have to accomplish where you have absolutly no idea how.

The heat zone.. took me like a day to solve that damn thing.

[scarlet hearth]

-# It's... scary?

[pliant tree]

The monsters are more like annoying than scary. If you 'die' you might drop a few things out of your inventory but get 'repreinted' with no other consiquences.

One of the issues that they are addressing now is the fact that you cant really fight off monsters. You either run, try to distract them, or die.

[cunning jacinth]

so it's a lot like 1

[ruby nacelle]

dath rice cakes

[cunning jacinth]

that would not taste nice

a cpu tea

Yea alot like 1 but does some things better. A little less grindy and inventory management is better.

Last I heard she laid off Samson and went to Wukong

-# So basically went from US to China

[ruby nacelle]

so the games are consuming her

[warped hound]

Maybe 'cuz he's a loyal customer or something?

Who has a lot of games

[stiff hill]

even so. im just sus about it personally

[warped hound]

I am too

This is just weird, and I've never heard of such thing happening before

[stiff hill]

that and everywhere says that they dont give wallet points for tech help (or compromised accounts)

at least that i look

[cunning jacinth]

I had like 900 games at one point

where money

[warped hound]

Ooh

[warped hound]

You said "at one point"

[pliant tree]

900 heh might be a slight exxageration.

[warped hound]

What happened to the account?

[cunning jacinth]

Steam Family lost a member

[cunning jacinth]

totally was not

[warped hound]

Ooh

[warped hound]

Like, 900 combined?

[scarlet hearth]

Your stove looks nice

[warped hound]

I have seen some with around 5k games, but they've also been around for over a decade, so very much understandable to be fair

[cunning jacinth]

with some doubles that weren't counted

[warped hound]

Ahh

[ruby nacelle]

Thanks @scarlet hearth

[cunning jacinth]

[ruby nacelle]

I’m level 120

Wow shit Im only 13 how the hell?

all my games are like that

[scarlet hearth]

💀 1000 hrs on each

[pliant tree]

Oh okay I get it. Yea I dont really bother with that stuff.

I buy the game play the game and move on usually. Not chasing 'accomplishments'.

[cunning jacinth]

judgey 😛

RL

[pliant tree]

Yall realize your bragging about how much time you have killed playing games right ? 😄

[stiff hill]

not really i havent played anything but thrifty busness recently

[cunning jacinth]

AND? lol

it's lovely to get 1000 hours from a game with like 18 hours of story

[pliant tree]

Im right there with them tbh as far as 'wasting' time.

[cunning jacinth]

talk about value

[stiff hill]

-# its my day off. i deserve break

[scarlet hearth]

-# I have over 800 combined with inZOI stuff

Hrm a day off. I think I might actually avoid Discord!

I know it hasent been easy lately and is about to get alot worse.

[desert valve]

@little light @upper prairie satchonsims is getting dragged on the paralives Reddit forum for being anti woke 🫢 they called him right wing

[stiff hill]

tbf i dont like satches vids either, but thats wild

[upper prairie]

He always saying some lil problematic borderline questionable eyebrow raising ish … to say the least

But ||send me the post|| 🤭

[desert valve]

I watched 10 mins of his first paralives video so I didn’t catch anything problematic yet.. lol he really upset the whole para community

[desert valve]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Paralives/s/iz6pqnKXXY

[stiff hill]

for how much hes done in the inzoi community i dont blame them tbh

[upper prairie]

LOOKS GOOD!

I love spaghetti so bad.

[verbal gulch]

Nah I watched the video's, he's gushing over Para, the only negative thing he said is that he wanted more clothes to pick from

[upper prairie]

Yeah I feel like Satch’s brand (from what I’ve seen) is being problematic and flip and not caring and dismissing it as not being “too woke” which is definitely a dog whistle. But alas.

[desert valve]

Yh I felt like his review was a little delusional and fake happy so I’m not sure why the community is upset ..he was a lot harsher with his Inzoi reviews .

[verbal gulch]

Snatch on Inzoi release = "I know its Early Access but I have to treat it like the full game and I don't like it"
Snatch on Para = "It's Early Access guys, bugs are to be expected, I'm loving it"

Basically

[stiff hill]

my guess would be there may be some people who enjoy both games and have seen how satch treated inzoi and is worried for para

[near oak]

i watched some of it but left bc he couldn't see the obvious big blue "Create New Household" button and stated as fact you couldn't create your own para... he did the same things with Inzoi updates and just made false claims when a little bit of investigating or READING would give him his answer

[scarlet hearth]

🥂...

[near oak]

like it's a pet peeve that ANYONE can get early access to games. ANYONE... and it's always the people that don't read or try figure out why something is not there that are the worst. like it's not helpful to viewers

[foggy plover]

Yes, he’s impatient.

[stiff hill]

personally think satch does it on purpose to farm views

[desert valve]

Yess that annoyed me so bad when I was watching his para review

[verbal gulch]

Nah he's just fumbling and got lucky with people following him somehow

[desert valve]

rage baiting for views

They told the dev team to get him off the pr team or they ain’t buying 🫢🫢

[stiff hill]

good tbh feel like the dev team they shoulda done research on his content before allowing him

[verbal gulch]

Speak of the devil, he's cranking these out (and using the same face pic for all his vids it seems lol)

[stiff hill]

yawn isnt that a reused title

[verbal gulch]

Dunno what you mean?

[stiff hill]

didnt he use the same style title with inzoi-

[upper prairie]

Yes he’s always pulling stunts on YouTube. For controversy. No such thing as bad press I guess.

[desert valve]

Haha he definitely saw the thread about him 😂😂 king rage baiting

[verbal gulch]

Same day photo's maybe LOL

Ere he lives in the UK too, I'll go ova and have a word with him over a cuppa 💃

[upper prairie]

Thanks Brad, much obliged! 🤣

[desert valve]

I watched like 10 different videos and I still can’t find a club or hangout place for adult parafolks 🧐

Every video is talking about eating mushrooms , museums ,yoga class ,outside shop and gym.

[upper prairie]

I keep saying imma watch a video and never do 😭😭😭

Maybe I’ll wait for the first round of reviews from non influencers 🤣

[scarlet hearth]

There's bar and a drink interaction but I don't see them drink

[desert valve]

Lmfaoo those reviews is going to give us the real tea

[stiff hill]

im doing what i did with inzoi, not watching vids till i try it myself

and if its unfinished oh well. itll sit in my library till its done cooking'

[upper prairie]

Exactly because right now it’s giving

[desert valve]

I will be waiting for the review jinnies

[stiff hill]

[desert valve]

Don’t get me wrong the town layout is very pretty .

Im happy Inzoi came out first 😂my money was never wasted

[ruby nacelle]

So how is paraflop

[scarlet hearth]

-# In 4 days for gp

[verbal gulch]

I'm still on the fence if I should buy it, I mean gameplay looks lame but the build mode? Hello!?

[ruby nacelle]

I ate 2/3 of my meal

[scarlet hearth]

😅... wonder if we can put custom stuff outside Workshop

[ruby nacelle]

Since I was full

[scarlet hearth]

Dessert?

[ruby nacelle]

None

I forgot to get some yesterday

[scarlet hearth]

Here's some waffle

[verbal gulch]

I'd say so, anything can be put on Nexus sure

[fossil meadow]

Just got the biggest wake up sign because I decided I'd try Sims 4 out again
Updated the game, opened it to see which mods needed updates, exited the game
Came back and there's another sims 4 game update

Had time to think

[ruby nacelle]

hey henry

[near oak]

i'm sure a lot of ppl have Sims 4 that only build

[verbal gulch]

Ew, Sims 4 build ain't all that 😭

[ruby nacelle]

So my RTX 5090 is being picked up tomorrow

[pliant tree]

Is the upcoming release for Paralives an Early Access title?

Its odd that they would release on a Monday. I know its memorial day and all but you would think like a Friday release so you have all weekend.

[near oak]

it makes me feel like a pro lol. unlike Inzoi where i am lost 90% of the time

[near oak]

it is early access yes

[verbal gulch]

I feel like I'm the only one that found Inzoi's build very similar to TS4 but better 😅 The only thing that confused me at first was the wallpaper and flooring

[scarlet hearth]

Flooring doesn't have single grid

[verbal gulch]

I'm so stubbed on what to play that I'm debating replaying Kingdoms of Amalur 😭

[spiral kelp]

being able to do triangle and rotating the flooring will forever make me cry with inzoi had it

[scarlet hearth]

Got the remastered the other day

[verbal gulch]

wait you brought Re-Reckoning just the other day? 😮

[scarlet hearth]

The last big sale... tried a bit to see if graphics bugs are fixed

[verbal gulch]

Strange timing me mentioning that then ahaha

I'mma gonna download it and see if I'm in the mood for it, I remember I liked it when it first released way back, but the "Remaster" looks the same to me

[pliant tree]

What game is this?

[scarlet hearth]

It's one of not many games I go far

[verbal gulch]

You mean I don't like fable-like games?

[verbal gulch]

Kingdoms of Amalur

[reef vine]

i am awake

[verbal gulch]

Ooop time to go

[scarlet hearth]

I meant hi~ 👋

[reef vine]

time to terrorize this chat with pics of walton

jk jk!!

[scarlet hearth]

I don't... I mean I usually play for a time then stop to do something 😅 if the break too long I just don't resume but Amalur got me going for a while

[verbal gulch]

Far, it is a long game, the first playthrough I did everything 3/4 of the way, then said screw it and ran to the final boss lol

[scarlet hearth]

-# Did that with Elex by the time I end the game I was already too op

[reef vine]

i keep meaning to push myself through d4

but the story is the sloggiest of slogs...

i genuinely forgot how boring it was

[verbal gulch]

Diablo 4?

[reef vine]

yes

[verbal gulch]

Oh! I actually liked the story! It wasn't the typical "Diablo is back again! and he's being a menace!" It was the after story gameplay that was a slog for me lol

[reef vine]

i bought it twice because late steam release -.-

i dont regret it but i wish i could push myself through it again lol

and i wish i saw more people in game lmao

[scarlet hearth]

Try horror games~

[verbal gulch]

I feel that, I wanna go back to it since its "gotten better" but I just can't lol

[reef vine]

i have re8 but it does not grab me rn
swtor it is lol

[verbal gulch]

I was debating swtor today too actually, If KoA doesn't work out, I'll give it another try

[scarlet hearth]

Fatal Frame tragic stories

[reef vine]

KoA?

[reef vine]

this one has always interested me

[scarlet hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/hug-koala-cute-gif-5079884

[verbal gulch]

lol Kingdoms of Amalur, the game I'm gonna try againnn

[reef vine]

ahhh

[verbal gulch]

Its the game that bankrupted a company... twice 😄

[reef vine]

swtor is fun enough for me rn, the chat is absolutely zany

[verbal gulch]

I always ignore chat on that game 👀

Who you romancing?

[reef vine]

probably for the best lmao its a stupid distraction

[reef vine]

idk
im not at any romance point yet

oh you mean me? hmm should it be walton or rupert...

[scarlet hearth]

Huh? online game have romancable npc?

[reef vine]

yes its a bioware mmo lol

[verbal gulch]

Oh. for me its theron Shan, which is fun because I'm always a Sith and he's the master Jedi's son...

[reef vine]

its got a mass effect feel!

[scarlet hearth]

Oh I totally missed that

[reef vine]

all mine are empire chars

[verbal gulch]

Slay!

[reef vine]

i have 3
rupert is a sith inquis, my wannabe cooper howard is a bounty hunter and i have an operative based on the evil doctor from andor xD

[verbal gulch]

I think I'm gonna be evil in KoA aswell...

[reef vine]

lool

[verbal gulch]

Andor mention 🎉

[reef vine]

yus it was awesome

gorst was cute idc if he was evil lmao!

[verbal gulch]

Agree! Rogue was my fav SW movie too

rogue one was great
but a new hope is my fave

[verbal gulch]

Same! He needed more screentime ahaha

Could never finish that 😭

[pliant tree]

I think I finished it one time out of those 10 and dont remember.
Ima kinda set on actually finishing it this time.

But as you can see Im still in the beginning so will probably loose focus on it again 🙂

and Astarion looks like a dork.

Finally fireball 😄

[white girder]

What do you guys think about Paralives current gameplay videos so far?

[warped hound]

Quite intriguing, I'm gonna buy it.

[ruby nacelle]

[warped hound]

Not sure if I'm gonna play it though 👍🏻

[worn wolf]

Im serious about anatomy 😤

Also, I just watched a bit of a paralives livestream

Pathfinding bugs every couple of seconds and stuttering every time the camera moves 🫩

[near oak]

i need

[sharp nova]

I just watched one of my favorite simmers play it and I think she may have changed my mind about hating the art style so much. I def will be getting it on Monday.

[reef vine]

😭

[reef vine]

how did they change your mind
who even is that simmer

i fear it will be impossible for me to recreate my fave chars/celebrities on the game which is kind of a dealbreaker
change my mind

[sharp nova]

She showed how in ths character customization you can remove a lot of the ugly lines on the face. The simmer is Xureila

[reef vine]

ok im looking this person up

[worn wolf]

No matter how many influencers try to hype it up, it's still a $40 price tag and i'll only spend that money if they can stick to an update schedule that improves the game

[sharp nova]

I do think it will be hard to recreate people fs. It will always be a stylized version of them.

[reef vine]

damn.

i dont think i'll be getting it then. so, so sad.

[near oak]

i am getting it. the gameplay reminds me of sims 2

[pliant tree]

Ima gonna get it and try it so I can form my own opinions on it.

[sharp nova]

40 dollar isnt that bad for me personally but I can see why others might be put off by the price tag.

[near oak]

here for the long haul tbh, waited long enough lmao

[reef vine]

im just so frustrated by the graphics, lines or not.

[toxic ginkgo]

was curious about it, but cant get into the style and look of the game or chracters

[reef vine]

i looked at the youtube.

[worn wolf]

I feel like I'd rage quit from the amount of bugs ive seen ngl 💀

[reef vine]

i agree. the style is insanely cartoony which is not what i want at all in a life sim 😭

[sharp nova]

There are some things that are annoying so far that I can see in gameplay. Like not being able to store food in the fridge yet. Like I idk why that would be an after thought

[reef vine]

this is gonna be so hard for me i feel. i sense this community is going to divide.

[white girder]

Im not sure what I think about the conversation system

[reef vine]

we're gonna lose people and im not okay.

[worn wolf]

Townies dont do much of anythjng either. They dont work, age, or form relatinships. There are also no social events

[cunning jacinth]

nahh

[white girder]

I mean you cannot simply choose what you want to do like being mean, being evil or romantic towards other character

[reef vine]

im always looking at the worst case scenario tbh this is just how i am

[white girder]

Sounds like typical approach in my country

[upper prairie]

I think people will just play all of them. Like for me I never quit TS4. But some folks have put it down and swear to never return. I don’t think we’ll lose people, especially ones that already like Inzoi 🤍.

[near oak]

yea i like that Paralives is different in a lot of ways. if i want a more dollhouse-y and controlled sim, i can always come back to Inzoi or Sims

[reef vine]

💀

[sharp nova]

I'm mainly interested in the building. They spent a lot of time selling that it would be more customizable that other sims. We'll see.

[worn wolf]

It's just the shiny new thing rn. The novelty will wear off in about a week

[white girder]

But to be honest I think EA is in deep sh.. now

Competition is really promising

[reef vine]

for me its inzoi + sims 2

[worn wolf]

Nuh. There are still a whole lot of people who cant run paralives and can only run sims 4

[reef vine]

sims 2 is only slightly cartoonier than inzoi imo due to older graphics
its real enough looking for me

[white girder]

Is it so demanding from hardware perspective?

[reef vine]

and inzoi is beautiful 🥺

[worn wolf]

Not demanding, but it does require an entry level gaming pc

[reef vine]

para does? 😮

[white girder]

There is something really appealing in Sims 2 graphics. Even now

[worn wolf]

Like, you cant run it on an integrated intel

[white girder]

Oh... probably because it is Unity

Its not build for open worlds tbh

[worn wolf]

I feel this reason is why there will be a lot of returns cause simmers are tech illiterate 💀

[sharp nova]

CaN I RuN sImS oN mY MiCroWaVe?"

[worn wolf]

And they look at paralives and how sims 4 has better graohics and will automatically assume they can run paralives if they can run sims 4 💀

[worn wolf]

You probably could actually 😭

[white girder]

Tbh Sims 4 really HAS better graphics than Para

[reef vine]

i mean you can run DOOM on anything
so
give it time

[reef vine]

i actually kind of disagree, unless its modded ts4

[white girder]

I meant a lot of stuff on the vids looks low res

[reef vine]

idk though man, its close

[white girder]

But their assets are nice. They have a lot of personality

[worn wolf]

Just wish it was also reflected in gameplay, but 🤷🏼‍♀️

[sharp nova]

I wanted to come back to this cus I did notice a lot of the townies just standing around doing nothing. I thought it was just me. Maybe the launch will have added more depth hopefully.

[worn wolf]

We're less than a week away and there are 3 coders, and only one of them actually knows what he's doing. So no

What you see rn is what you're getting

[white girder]

Lol and what about those two other coders

But if this is true thats a pretty small dev team

[worn wolf]

They dont have much experience making games

[white girder]

I see. Well thats not a good thing

But maybe they learn along the way or something

Still adding core simulation for townies is like deal breaker in my book

[worn wolf]

You definitely wont be seeing it this year. Maybe not even next year

Leaving live mode to last (when it's the hardest part about the genre) was a mistake imo

[open frost]

It's perfectly possible they'll use the revenue from sales to hire more people to the team

Give them a chance, from what I've seen the game is pretty enjoyable for an indie early access launch. I've seen way worse with early access launches from indie developers.

[near oak]

it might be on par with where Inzoi was a year ago

[open frost]

I think Inzoi ran better (if you had the specs)

I never had the stutter lag in inzoi you see in the paralives vids from content creators

[near oak]

the gameplay looks more cohesive and connected in para than it did in Inzoi a year ago

[open frost]

Yeah they added a few smart but simple gameplay elements like the museum and community center and the townie quests

It gives people something to do, especially in the beginning when you don't have a whole family going yet

The card system is cute too, I like card games. But I do wonder how they'll combine it with autonomous interactions between paras. Haven't seen paras interact with each other yet autonomously, and paras also don't autonomously choose a together card if you don't, so I wonder how they're gonna handle that. People will want autonomous romantic interactions asap

[near oak]

yea that is what im curious about as well

[reef vine]

evil!rupert in swtor lol

he's a sith inquisitor 😛

[ruby heart]

Another rma 🙁

[verbal gulch]

🎶 rah ma oh rah maaa 🎶

[verbal gulch]

Now THATS a SILF 😍

[cunning jacinth]

in inzoi? bc this is off-topic

or paralives?

[stiff hill]

makin me wanna play swotor now

[reef vine]

you may not have him

keep in mind he's rupert
and RUPERT IS MINE 🔪

[stiff hill]

ugh i forgot my login info

[reef vine]

i guessed mine lmao

i basically got lucky

[stiff hill]

-# i havent played it since 2021

[reef vine]

damn, i wanna watch the unicorn for mr. goggins...but i dont have paramount+!!

[stiff hill]

last i played with my swotr account i think i was playing a sith? (cant check till it finished downloading)

[reef vine]

all mine are empire!

[stiff hill]

i did empire before too but yeah

[pliant tree]

Huh I went and looked and evidently Ive never played this game!

[stiff hill]

its fun, very old game

you can play f2p but some of the good cosmetics cost money

[reef vine]

i bought stuff like rupert's hair lmaoo

i even subbed once to get preferred ages ago

[stiff hill]

i also subbed once when i was actively playing

[pliant tree]

Lemme ask.
It says free to play but just below that is a subscription thing and then something about cartel coins.
This is not a pay to play game is it?

[reef vine]

worth it

[reef vine]

it is not

[stiff hill]

its not, its optional

[reef vine]

subbing is optional

[pliant tree]

But what comes with the sub?

[reef vine]

if you get really into it
sub once then cancel
you get 'preferred' status perks

sub gives you access to all expacs, and you keep that access once you do one sub

so even after it expires
all expacs are in your hands lol

[pliant tree]

I see well I guess Ill dl the free version. Let yall know 🙂

[stiff hill]

im redownloading it LMAO

[reef vine]

XD

ive been enjoying it

[stiff hill]

gonna take foreve w my internet

[reef vine]

lmao yea it takes forever

[pliant tree]

Itll take a really really long time if I never click the EULA

[stiff hill]

gonna go make some buldak while i wait

also ugh lego batman is out but for $70

[reef vine]

i just wish goggins had more shows on MY streaming services 😭

[pliant tree]

Too much.

Speaking of too much. SWTOR is a huge download!

[reef vine]

yuuuup xD

really is

[pliant tree]

What if you roll an Empire char and find out your friends are Sith ? 😄

[reef vine]

it would not be a problem because empire and sith go hand in hand...

you're thinking of the republic/jedi i think xD

[pliant tree]

Light vs Dar

[reef vine]

yup

I have an operative, an inquisitor and a bounty hunter

[pliant tree]

Im watchin a 'for noobs' video now 🙂

[reef vine]

might as well (i should do that too lmao)

also if you set up an annoying af security key (2fa basically) you get 100 cartel coins a month

i cant bring myself to do it but

i might have to so i can unlock cathar 💀 i only need 100 coins more

sadly i gotta go for now, let me know how it all goes for you!

[stiff hill]

apparently i was jedi

[pliant tree]

Well I still have like a hour of download left.

[worn wolf]

Something about this looks super off to me

[pliant tree]

Looks fine to me.

[stiff hill]

prob the angle

[worn wolf]

Idk, it looks like she's squished inwards

[ruby nacelle]

Why do they look like clay

[pliant tree]

Its a cartoon.

[ruby nacelle]

I’ll give the game a try then refund it if it’s not good

[ruby heart]

I have just as much bad tech luck as you 😭

Either my gpu or psu have coil whine and I have to do another rma

[stiff hill]

restarting my game cause hehe

[pliant tree]

What is coil whine?

Oh I looked it up. Its considered mostly harmless.

[ruby nacelle]

Sometimes a coil whine can burn out a fan motor but rare

[ruby heart]

Yeah knowing my lock I’m sure it would burn out a fan motar

And honestly I think the computer was refurbished and sold for new at this point…this doesnt make any sense and I am so very careful with my computer parts

[royal surge]

modders will fix a lot of things as long as they dont do what inzoi did

[pliant tree]

Geeze so SWTOR finally downloaded. I tried to get it running but found the UI to be tiny! I tried to run at a lower than native resoluton and the game froze written over two screens.
I had to force quit the machine. Could not even get to task manager.
Once the machine had rbooted Im greeted by a fully re arranged desktop 🙁

Changed the icon sizes too. Sheeshe what a pita!

[desert valve]

lol para looks like a Mobile game

At these paralives reviews

[warped hound]

There's something called "artstyle" though

Not every game needs to look realistic

[reef vine]

its true
but its not for me which is vastly disappointing

[desert valve]

I know but it’s my opinion 😊

[reef vine]

mobile games also have 'artstyles' so it works lol

ts4 looks more mobile to me though

[desert valve]

😂😂delusional reviews and these folks still throwing shade at Inzoi

[warped hound]

Oftentimes, mobile games try hard to look realistic.. plenty of them at least

[reef vine]

none ive seen lol
paralives is too pricey for it not being my style so i am absolutely holding off

[warped hound]

Oh, I totally get that

[reef vine]

if i hadn't just wasted money on bought d4 i probably would have considered

[desert valve]

I don’t think I have seen any realistic one ..only the car driving ones

[warped hound]

The thing is though, artstyle is something which either makes or breaks the game. Thankfully paralives is also not as demanding as inzoi, so a lot of people on older systems will also be able to run the game mostly fine

[reef vine]

it breaks it for me sadly.

if i cant make a celebrity lookalike i dont need it

[warped hound]

Oh it very much is subjective

Not everyone has the same taste

[desert valve]

It’s going to be a big meltdown next week when folks realise para is not a “sims killer”😂😂😂

[royal surge]

it doesn't need to be. Just needs to have a good foundation and good modding environment

they already gave permission to reverse engineer the code so mods gonna be easy

[reef vine]

thought i'd never see this guy again.

[royal surge]

Oh I stopped all my mods for inzoi thats staying the same

I just lurk ocassionally

[warped hound]

reverse engineer 🤔

[desert valve]

You buying the game ?

[royal surge]

yup

gonna make a bunch of mods too

[warped hound]

Reverse engineering in general is not something any company can do much about to be fair

[reef vine]

they certainly are. i get a paralives spokesperson feel off this dude

😑

[desert valve]

Ok we will be waiting for a honest review lol

[reef vine]

lets just hope he's honest

[royal surge]

I'm not even a paralives fan so that's presumptuous of you

[desert valve]

Who?

[royal surge]

thought it was bad until i saw the trailer

[reef vine]

nooblet

[royal surge]

and gameplay videos

[reef vine]

who has been kind of like, negative on inzoi for a long bit iirc

its been so long i cant remember

[royal surge]

Nyami, you are just mischaracterizing the whole thing

[reef vine]

i might be tbh
my memory's crap

[royal surge]

Inzoi made a horrible modding policy decision that stopped a ton of modders

[reef vine]

YES

[warped hound]

Wait, the paywall one?

[royal surge]

no

[reef vine]

that was it
SORRY omg
this is not the first time ive done this!

[royal surge]

you can't reverse engineer the game

[reef vine]

my brain is crap lmao
im so sorry 💀

[royal surge]

so you can't make advanced script mods

[desert valve]

I like the town layout but not enough to make me buy it

[warped hound]

Interesting, I wasn't aware of this 🤔

[royal surge]

That's why inzoi mod scene is a bit weak right now

mostly CC content and beginner mods

[reef vine]

ngl im just bitter about people potentially abandoning inzoi for a meh looking game

[warped hound]

Wait, can you send me a link or something about the reverse engineering thing?

[reef vine]

i dont want to lose this community

[warped hound]

About inzoi

[royal surge]

the mod policy?

[warped hound]

Yeah, where it mentions such thing isn't allowed

[royal surge]

I https://playinzoi.com/en/clause/mods_policy

[ruby heart]

Trust me no one will abandon inzoi that is on this discord lol

[desert valve]

Honestly I don’t think they would lol if anything folks would pick Inzoi back up

[reef vine]

all the same im not satisfied with inzoi
its a crap situation

[royal surge]

i mean the ones that are left are the die hard fans

[reef vine]

im hoping in time i will be
i suspect i will but im impatient lmao

[warped hound]

Just think about it, if the game is good, there is no reason to abandon it

[ruby heart]

You were not satisfied with inzoi and are still here. I have had disappointing moments too

[ruby heart]

Think is the majority

[royal surge]

"still here" is doing a lot of work. I have maybe 80 hours on Inzoi mostly from launch

[desert valve]

Facts ..we will be getting new players next week 😊🫢

[reef vine]

over 1k here its my most played game

[ruby heart]

Gurl my psu or gpu is failing I’m so upset cant play inzoi

[reef vine]

despite me not being wholly satisfied

[desert valve]

You sound a little anti Inzoi here 🧐

[warped hound]

I'm definitely not.. 😭 I myself have some opinions regarding some of the questionable choices

[desert valve]

I’m annoyed with GeForce so we in the same boat friend

[royal surge]

what does that even mean? If you check my search history you'll know why i'm frustrated

[ruby heart]

LMAO!🤣

[royal surge]

I was planning a bunch of large mods until that policy came out

[reef vine]

ngl im also frustrated
but im like doubly frustrated

[ruby heart]

What policy

[royal surge]

felt like a slap in the face.

[warped hound]

In fact, I like to not see myself as a die hard fan of any gaming community, as constructive feedback is crucial

[desert valve]

lol tell me why ..I’m invested

[ruby heart]

Damn what policy came out need to know lol

[near oak]

I'll still sticking around for Inzoi but I'll be checking out Para as well

[royal surge]

i mean its not new https://playinzoi.com/en/clause/mods_policy

[reef vine]

frustrated because i want inzoi to be The One
frustrated because paralives has meh graphics and what i DONT want but its seemingly going to take over

[warped hound]

@royal surge can you show me exactly which line is it?

[reef vine]

FRUSTRATED because i am also not wholly satisfied with inzoi
TRIPLY FRUSTRATED

💀

[near oak]

I think most people prefer stylized artsyle to realistic

[royal surge]

"Mods cannot change, reproduce or otherwise alter the Game code, object code, source code or the internal structure of the Game’s software or related Services." Like do they know what mods do?

[pliant tree]

Well Im happy got SWTOR running 🙂

[reef vine]

good!

[near oak]

It can further pull them from real life

[warped hound]

You should not wish bad on other games just because it's competing with the one you adore though.

[reef vine]

im not wishing bad but i am wishing not to lose my people here 😭

bottom line i live a lonely life and this community has been wonderful for me
not every discord has been

[desert valve]

The only thing I need Inzoi dev team to know is mostly adults play the game so we need more adult places for our zoi’s to go lol

[warped hound]

Oh trust me, if there are people who actually like inzoi, they will stick here.
Why would you even want people here if they don't even like inzoi?

[ruby heart]

That we already understood

It’s encouragement not really mandating

[royal surge]

i'm a bit confused what you mean?

[ruby heart]

Just don’t steal someone else’s mod

It means the mod you create or download is up to your discretion

[royal surge]

no it does not

[reef vine]

just saying
this situation totally sucks for me

[ruby heart]

Yes read it again

[royal surge]

....

[desert valve]

Some folks are waiting on script mods to come back

[ruby heart]

Absorb the info and stop jumping to conclusions

[royal surge]

"Mods cannot change, reproduce or otherwise alter the Game code, object code, source code or the internal structure of the Game’s software or related Services."

[near oak]

Truth is paralives might have the same thing happen next week that Inzoi did a year ago

[reef vine]

sorry minai but noob is right 😭

[ruby heart]

Nah yes that’s correct you cant alter game code

But how does that effect you to the point of not making mods you want

[desert valve]

The way I play my game it’s hard for me to get bored tbh ..you have to have a good imagination to play a game like Inzoi

[ruby heart]

You can create with lua. They are ENCOURAGING YOU NOT TO DO IT

[reef vine]

i think he means a whole 'nother level of mods

[warped hound]

Hm, maybe it's the "reproduce" part which is sticking out when you say reverse engineering?

[desert valve]

@royal surge I want to hear your story 👀

[royal surge]

Minai, i'll try to help you here. So for advanced mods we need to modify the game code. A lot of it is in 1's and 0's. Without permission to do that we wont get more ambitious mods

[reef vine]

its true 🥴

[ruby heart]

Every game even sims states do not change the source code

Again this is to your discretion

[royal surge]

No Sims 4 does not have that same explicit policy

[reef vine]

anyway im gonna just
play stuff
see ya

[ruby heart]

Oy vey 🙄 I can’t right now

[royal surge]

They have a generic TOS but not a specific modding policy that says you cant modify things

[lunar elbow]

i really should play something

just been working on other stuff lol

[ruby heart]

Yeah I’m not even getting into it. Use it to your discretion still they ENCOURAGE you not to do it

[lunar elbow]

taking a break from ATS lol

[ruby heart]

This was literally discussed when the game first came out…everyone was upset and are still creating mods to their discretion and not being punished

[lunar elbow]

also there's this if anybody is interested in fixing cars up

[reef vine]

my bro loves this game lol

[lunar elbow]

oop

[ruby heart]

And if you really feel unsafe doing it then don’t play inzoi

[royal surge]

Minai, respectfully i dont think you quite understand the situation. You can search the modding-channel fi you want go back maybe 6-8 months

[lunar elbow]

yeah it's fun

[ruby heart]

I read this months ago. But I respect ally understand and will tell you if you feel uncomfortable don’t do it

[royal surge]

Then you shoudl know why many of us gave up on modding the game

[ruby heart]

Thats a choice bruh

[royal surge]

it's not worth risking going directly against a direct policy where you mod can be DMCA and your access to the game revoked

[warped hound]

I'm finding it hard to understand. You don't even have access to the source code though, no?

[ruby heart]

Choice…what are the game police gonna knock on your door lol

[reef vine]

doesnt ue4ss access it...

[warped hound]

So, how will you alter it to begin with

[lunar elbow]

ive got zero clue whats going on lol

i literally just got here

[ruby heart]

Man thats what I’m talking about

😂

[royal surge]

yup and it's not allowed

[ruby heart]

Like for god sake

[reef vine]

just really dumb drama

[ruby heart]

Like it’s literally noise

[lunar elbow]

not nothing im used to lmfao

[royal surge]

No there is no drama on my side. Minai just doesn't quite understand the situation

[lunar elbow]

in the brick rigs discord theres always some bs going on down in the discussion channels

[warped hound]

Yeah, it would make sense if you actually altered the source code. Which is if it gets leaked. But you don't have access to it though, then how will you alter it?

[royal surge]

I'm trying to explain to them why some of the modders quit

[ruby heart]

Stop saying I don’t understand because I do and know a modder who does

[royal surge]

I am a modder

[ruby heart]

So for the last time

They are encouraging you not to do it

[reef vine]

please dont look at me for this minai lmao
i dont get everything right

[little light]

The way these folks be lying is WILD, like Satch’s para laying in sand glitching saying wow this is so exciting 😂

[reef vine]

when i said ue4ss?? i meant, 'does that count as editing source code?'

[ruby heart]

Just don’t play the game gaynooblet 😭😭😭

[lunar elbow]

im not even gonna start with paralives lmfao

[pliant tree]

My first level 🙂
