Her Private Shore! I remember cause I stumbled upon a different work in Light Casts a Shadow while looking for trans Tav fics, clicked on the series, and scrolled to the first smutfic I could see. I think this might have been before I even made an account.

Aww, that's so sweet to hear 💜 God, that fic feels so long ago. Glad you found that one early. There was a time before the LCaS series when things were just kinda thrown into the wind and I didn't even know how I wanted to tag things lol.

Great start, yet again.

Fashion Forward (2011)

Remember Risha's Boutique from Cake Mania: Lights, Camera, Action? You know how it only 25 levels? Well, how about we take that 25 levels and expand into 60. Why? Because, that's why.

❝𝐏𝐥𝐨𝐭❞

Risha was never meant for the small-town life. She has been a very supportive friend to Jill and been present for all her wacky adventures since Cake Mania 2, but by golly it is time for Risha to follow her passions and move to L.A to open up a boutique! She arrives to L.A. with good spirits and light in her eyes, but gets quickly challenged by a pretty powerful enemy--the diet culture and body-shaming of the 2000s (represented by a character named Andrea). She doesn't let this stop her, and she is determined to help band together likeminded people to start a body-inclusive fashion revolution!

The plot was more based and cool than the actual game, unfortunately.

As much as Risha slays, I don' think 60 levels of Risha's Boutique makes for an interesting experience. It quite literally is just the 25-level experience we got in Cake Mania: LCA, but 60 levels. It is ironic, as monotony is a critique that Cake Mania gets a lot but I love it despite how monotonous it can get. However, I personally feel as if it takes a while for the monotony to kick in Cake Mania games. It truly doesn't become boring until you have every upgrade on the planet to the point it becomes a piece of cake (pun intended) to play.

❝𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲❞

With this game, you are the oven and the froster, so to speak, who is making the cakes (giving customers the clothes they are asking for). As you play the game, you can unlock more collections of clothing and there are separate male and female collections. Eventually, there got to a point where they would just re-color previous clothing items because the collections felt neverending. To the game dev's credit, it took a while and a lot of collections before they did that. Granted, I also only bought one collection per level. There really isn't much to do besides that.

Also the male model that is used to advertise the male collections looks Cabybara-eque. Like Glen Powell.

There is at least the wrap-o-matic function of the game that I do appreciate. I think the game would have been more boring if this was automated because it at least adds a challenge and slows you down a bit. There are entire levels where everyone asks for a complicated wrap-pattern, so the game does attempt to up the ante.

There are also store upgrades that are there to help attempt to spice up the experience. Give you something to purchase besides new clothes collections.

You can purchase little decoration upgrades like a carpet, plant, and lights to spruce up the place to help extract more tips, and of course purchasing upgrades for the wrap-o-matic to add on some costs to customers. It feels a bit performative at times, to where I feel like buying a plant has as much impact as opening up a new tab, but it still felt more useful than the TV and distraction dessert machine funnily enough.

And of course, this is another game where they had the mini-game function to get extra points and money. Naturally, I personally got annoyed with doing them so I neglected this part of gameplay

Normally, by the time I have finished the game I would have noted the TV preferences of all the customers, but truthfully I have not as of typing this shortly after completing the game. I didn't even buy either of these contraptions until super late in the game when I knew I just had to make the purchase to get some trophy out of it.

The game mechanics are so, so simple which is how you can get away with not needing either of those tools. Customers usually come in with multiple items they want, and you can immediately tend to their demands because all you have to do is click on an item and drop it onto their bubble. If they are incapacitated due to some Blue Bubble Customer shenanigans, you have even more time to look for an item after getting rid of the troublemaker customer. If you have kept them waiting for way too damn long and they do end up going crazy on you, just find one item and they'll be pacified for some time.

The aspect of this game that would make it difficult to keep the customers happy is the bonus money and points you get from delivering all the clothing at the same time to a customer that orders 3 items. Sometimes I feel like I would have massive success from doing the 3-item bonus, but other times I would just ditch it and focus on customer patience by doing one item at a time. It almost felt intuitive on when to use which strategy. At the end of the day, you wanna shuffle them out as quickly as they came in, and if the 3-item bonus significantly slowed me down I would not use it.

❝𝐌𝐲 𝐎𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧❞

This is very mid. I think it is very funny that there are many Cake Mania 2 "throwback" customers in this game, because the same monotony I felt playing Cake Mania 2 is what I felt playing this game. Granted, the Cake Mania 2 torture was somewhat self-imposed. However, what I felt playing Cake Mania 2 after the 4th run is how I felt playing this game once. The novelty of the new collections to sell to people didn't inspire much excitement. It was too straightforward of game that didn't need 60 levels and thus didn't really need to be made its own game if this is the *only* thing the game offers.

I give this game a 25/60. As in a concept like this deserves 25 levels max if it isn't going to add anything else.

[abubblingcandle]

Beautiful!!! And much appreciated. As I'm watching the NFL, using the time to write one of my fave Jamie scenes in the JanJamie fic (unfortunately no Jan in it). For context in this fic Jamie never came back after LCA, met Jan, they fell in love and Jan was transferred to Richmond for S3 :) Enjoy!

--

"Some of the lads let me know that we shouldn't hold someone's past against them or look gift horses in the mouth even if they come in the form of very tall dutchmen," Ted stated. Jamie continued to look cautious. "I'm going to be honest with you. We're struggling to score goals this season. Dani is trying his little heart out but the dream of two aces is still evading us. We're going to look in the transfer window but I have been authorised to ask you first," he explained. Jamie just stared for a moment, blinking slowly as the cogs whirled in his head. The kettle clicked and Jamie silently made the drinks, sliding Ted his coffee. "You want me to come back and play for Richmond?" Jamie questioned so quiet that Ted's breathing was nearly louder. "Yes, I think you'd bring something amazing to this team and I wanted to offer you another shot," Ted moulded his face into his most reassuring look. Jamie blinked again, and then started to laugh.

In short, this immigration software isn’t just another platform—it’s a partner that streamlines your workflow, keeps your clients happy, and gives your firm room to grow. 

Why Immigration Software Is a Total Game Changer 

For the longest time, immigration pros have been using a patchwork of tools to track cases—email inboxes, shared drives, handwritten notes, and yes, even sticky notes on their desks. It’s no surprise that things slipped through the cracks. Deadlines were missed. Clients were left guessing. And even minor mistakes could lead to major delays. 

Now, though, expectations have changed. Clients want instant updates. Teams are collaborating remotely. Compliance is more demanding than ever. That’s why having a dedicated, cloud-based solution like ImmiCompliance isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. This immigration software simplifies and secures every step of the journey. 

How ImmiCompliance Helps Immigration Attorneys Work Smarter 

You didn’t become an immigration lawyer to spend your days chasing paperwork or sending status update emails. You’re here to guide people through some of the most important transitions in their lives—and your tools should reflect that. 

With ImmiCompliance, law firms can: 

1. Make the Process Simple—for You and Your Clients

How much time do you spend replying to status check emails? With the built-in Case Tracker USCIS, clients get real-time updates on their case without needing to email or call you. They can log in, check the progress, and see what’s happening—all from their dashboard. That means fewer interruptions for you, and less anxiety for them. Everyone stays informed, and you stay focused on what actually matters. 

4. Centralized Communication That Keeps You in Control 

Email chains can get messy fast. One missed message, and things fall through the cracks. With immigration software like ImmiCompliance, you can message clients, request documents, and share updates—all in one secure place. Everything is logged, searchable, and accessible to your entire team. No more wondering who said what or digging through inboxes to find an attachment. 

Why This All Adds Up 

At the end of the day, immigration work is personal. Every form you file, every deadline you meet—it’s part of someone’s future. That’s why creating a smoother, more reliable experience for your clients matters so much.

✅ Faster onboarding  ✅ Real-time visibility with the Case Tracker USCIS  ✅ Organized, secure document management  ✅ Better communication with your team and clients  ✅ A professional, stress-free experience from start to finish 

It’s time to move past the old way of working. With immigration case management software, you can modernize your firm without the learning curve. 

Real-World Win: One Firm’s Success Story 

A law firm in Los Angeles used to spend over six hours onboarding every new client. They relied on PDFs, manual data entry, and lots of follow-up calls. 

After switching to ImmiCompliance, that time dropped to under an hour. 

Now, clients fill out everything online, upload docs themselves, and get real-time updates. The team can focus on strategy instead of sorting through paperwork. It’s not just more efficient—it’s a better way to work. 

What Makes ImmiCompliance Stand Out 

Simple, Clean Interface: Easy to use, even for folks who aren’t tech-savvy 

Real-Time USCIS Case Tracking: See updates without leaving the platform 

Top-Tier Security: Bank-level encryption and secure cloud storage 

USCIS Form Automation: Includes a wide range of forms, updated regularly 

Custom User Roles: Control who sees what for better compliance and confidentiality 

Don’t Let the Old Way Hold You Back 

Manual processes are holding your team—and your clients—back. Whether you’re handling a handful of cases or hundreds, smarter tools can make all the difference. 

ImmiCompliance isn’t just immigration software. It’s peace of mind.

Understanding the ISCC Mass Balance Approach and Its Role in Sustainability

In today’s world, sustainability has become a critical focus for industries and consumers alike. One of the most significant frameworks contributing to sustainable practices is the ISCC mass balance approach. This methodology ensures that renewable and sustainable raw materials are effectively integrated into supply chains, providing a transparent mechanism to verify compliance with sustainability standards.

What is the ISCC Mass Balance Approach?

The ISCC mass balance approach is a systematic method for tracking the flow of materials within a supply chain. It enables the mixing of certified and non-certified materials while ensuring that the amount of certified material entering the system matches the amount leaving it. This framework, endorsed by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), is widely used across industries to promote accountability and transparency in the sourcing and use of sustainable materials.

Unlike systems that require strict physical segregation of certified materials, the mass balance approach provides flexibility without compromising traceability. This is particularly beneficial for industries like chemicals, biofuels, and polymers, where physical separation may not be feasible due to technical or economic constraints. Click Here To Read More About - ISCC Plus Certification

How Does the Mass Balance Approach Work?

The mass balance system operates on a straightforward principle: the quantity of certified input must equal the quantity of certified output within a defined accounting period. For instance, if a company introduces 10 tons of ISCC-certified biomass into its production process, it can claim up to 10 tons of certified product output, regardless of whether the physical materials have been separated.

This approach requires robust documentation and auditing to ensure compliance. Companies must maintain detailed records of inputs, outputs, and any material transfers to confirm that their claims align with actual practices. By adhering to the ISCC mass balance guidelines, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and provide assurance to their stakeholders. Read More - LCA Communication

Benefits of the ISCC Mass Balance Approach

Enhanced Sustainability: The ISCC mass balance approach facilitates the inclusion of renewable and sustainable materials in supply chains, reducing the reliance on fossil-based resources.

Flexibility in Operations: By allowing the mixing of certified and non-certified materials, the mass balance system supports efficient and cost-effective production processes.

Improved Traceability: The approach ensures that certified materials can be tracked throughout the supply chain, bolstering consumer trust in sustainability claims.

Compliance with Regulations: Many governments and regulatory bodies recognize the ISCC mass balance as a credible system for verifying the use of sustainable materials, helping businesses meet legal requirements.

Challenges and Future Perspectives

While the mass balance approach offers numerous advantages, it is not without challenges. One primary concern is the potential for misunderstandings among stakeholders about the concept of "bookkeeping" sustainability versus physical segregation. Effective communication and education are crucial to addressing these concerns.

As industries continue to prioritize sustainability, the ISCC mass balance approach is expected to play a pivotal role in enabling the transition to a low-carbon economy. Innovations in digital traceability tools, such as blockchain, may further enhance the transparency and efficiency of this system.

Conclusion

The ISCC mass balance approach provides a pragmatic and effective framework for integrating sustainability into complex supply chains. By balancing flexibility with accountability, it ensures that certified materials contribute meaningfully to reducing environmental impacts. As global demand for sustainable practices grows, adopting the mass balance approach will be essential for industries aiming to lead the way toward a greener future.

Naviate Zero and the Importance of Sustainability in Building Design

The world of architecture and construction is always on the move, always evolving. But we’ve reached a point where we can’t ignore the elephant in the room: the impact that new building construction on our precious environment.

In response to this pressing concern, Symetri has set out on a mission to reshape how architects and designers approach sustainable building design. Enter Naviate Zero, a brand-new Revit add-on that’s here to make sustainable building design a lot easier.

Imagine having the power to figure out the carbon footprint of different materials, then effortlessly slotting them into your building plans, and even sharing that info with different designers, engineers, and other people on your team. That’s what Naviate Zero brings to the table.

We talked to Jens Kollserud, CEO of Symetri, to learn more.

What was the inspiration behind Naviate Zero?

Jens Kollserud: As a company, Symetri’s purpose is to challenge people to work smarter for a better future. In line with this, we decided our focus between 2021 and 2025 would be on decarbonization. The majority of carbon emissions worldwide arise from the manufacturing and construction industries — the very sectors we’ve served since our inception in 1989.

Our clients design and produce buildings, infrastructure, and products. Recognizing the impact of our clients’ industries on the environment, we felt a responsibility and saw an opportunity to contribute positively. Our goal was to ensure people make informed sustainability decisions. To achieve this, they needed access to data and tools. Historically, decisions in construction and manufacturing were predominantly influenced by price, time, and availability. We wanted to incorporate CO2 impacts into the decision-making process as well.

This brought us to the realization that accessing the right data was crucial. We partnered with a Finnish company, One Click LCA, a leader in this realm with extensive databases of materials from various countries. We envisioned integrating their data with the design tools our clients were using, such as Revit. And that’s how Naviate Zero came to be.

“Informed decisions lead to reduced wastage and a smaller carbon footprint.”

You mentioned the importance of making informed decisions. Could you elaborate on why it’s important to make informed decisions?

Jens: Informed decisions are pivotal for two main reasons: First, it’s financially sensible to buy only the materials you need. Second, informed decisions lead to reduced wastage and a smaller carbon footprint.

Unlike manufacturing, construction often takes place on-site, leading to increased wastage. This means transporting materials to a specific location where they are then assembled, cut, or molded. But this method results in a significant waste of materials; roughly 20 to 30% of all materials end up as waste — which not only has a financial impact but also a considerable environmental cost in terms of carbon emissions.

“Carbon-smart” material selection means that you can choose the material alternatives that have the lowest Co2e impact related to the geographical location of the building site.

Besides making decisions related to materials, it is also important to choose what manufacturer’s material you use since manufacturing process emissions and material logistics also have a big impact.

Ultimately, informed decisions allow for better outcomes. If you’re unaware of the consequences of your choices, you can’t make better decisions.

What is your hope for Naviate Zero as a product?

Jens: Naviate Zero isn’t primarily a commercial venture for us. While there are companies aiming to calculate CO2 emissions and other sustainability metrics, we view them as collaborators in a shared mission rather than competitors.

Our goal with Naviate Zero is broader than just one product: it’s about creating a holistic approach to decarbonization. For example, we also have Naviate Daylight in our portfolio, which helps in energy consumption reduction by optimizing natural light use in buildings. Naviate Zero is just one aspect of our larger mission to help customers work smarter and more sustainably, offering tools to make informed decisions, whether that’s about making smarter material choices, reducing material waste, or optimizing energy usage.

We’re developing a suite of applications within the Naviate portfolio, each addressing different aspects of the construction process. While sustainability is a key focus, there are other areas where we believe Naviate can help customers work smarter.

“If you’re unaware of the consequences of your choices, you can’t make better decisions.”

It seems like the ecosystem around buildings is evolving towards sustainability. Previously, sectors might have operated in silos, but now it appears there’s a convergence. Would you say that’s accurate?

Jens: Absolutely. We’re trying to bridge the gap between product manufacturers, builders, designers, and those involved in infrastructure. While the building is a construction industry endeavor, the building components like doors, windows, and ventilation, as well as the products inside—like toilet seats, chairs, and sofas—belong to manufacturing. All these entities play a part in this ecosystem and impact us.

Our aim is to integrate these sectors; and integrate reliable data for informed decision-making in sustainable design and construction. With upcoming regulations like environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), we’ll have a plethora of information. The challenge is to make that data accessible and intuitive, enabling individuals to make informed decisions without being overwhelmed.

The end goal is to make sustainable choices straightforward and the unsustainable ones clear.

SITES is a rating system that guides, evaluates, and certifies a project’s sustainability in the planning, design, construction and management of landscapes and other outdoor spaces. As a SITES Community Partner, Landscape Forms shares the commitment to prioritizing projects that enhance biodiversity and mitigate climate change while conserving resources, improving public health, and protecting ecosystems. This commitment includes providing solutions that simplify SITES Certification, developing products that achieve points towards credits under the SITES Rating System V2 and streamlining the documentation process. Discover available SITES credits with Landscape Forms’ products.

Landscape Forms has also conducted a Life Cycle Analyses of the embodied carbon impacts for many of the company’s core products. Conducted in collaboration with third-party certification body SCS Global Services, these analyses examine the carbon footprint of every product stage, including upstream materials, core manufacturing, packaging, transport, use, maintenance, and disposal. One of the first outdoor furnishing manufacturers to conduct such an analysis, Landscape Forms is addressing an unmet need for this data in the landscape architecture industry. The company is also helping to set a quantifiable baseline to inform new best practices.

“Becoming a SITES Community Partner and developing our Life Cycle Analysis initiative are two big steps forward in cultivating a culture of sustainability, accountability and transparency in our industry,” says Landscape Forms Sustainability Leader Amy Syverson-Shaffer. “As landscape architects and designers of outdoor space, our customers care deeply about the environmental impact of their work. So we’re enabling them to more confidently make the decisions that are right for our communities and right for our planet.”

Michael Blum, Chief Strategy Officer, comments, “Our Life Cycle Analysis Initiative is an important achievement in our ongoing efforts to enhance sustainability at Landscape Forms and also in the way we’re looking to guide our industry moving forward. We’re using this information internally to improve design, supply chain, manufacturing and distribution.

Buildings with Net Zero Carbon Design

Net Zero carbon is important from a business perspective since prestigious building clients and cities demand it. Even if you don't think climate change is a big deal, you still have to cater to consumer demand. National governments, cities, and top long-term real estate investors have all signed the World Green Building Council's Advancing Net zero consultant Commitment, and many more are interested in implementing some of the best practices to uphold their reputations as ethical businesses. Because 39% of all carbon emissions worldwide are related to the building industry, achieving Net Zero carbon is significant from a global standpoint.

Construction life-cycle carbon emissions are primarily sourced from operational energy. However, the use of alternative energy has altered the situation. Decarbonization of the energy grid results in materials' life-cycle impacts becoming the primary source of life-cycle emissions for any building with a lifespan of at least 50 years. The increase in low-carbon energy has been a good thing, but it has also made it more challenging to reduce emissions through energy export. Before the grid to which you export has attained Net zero emissions, you must export enough energy to balance your emissions. Some climatic benefits also result from the use of materials toward the end of their useful lives and, in the case of cementitious materials, from the carbonization of those materials both during and beyond the lifetime of the building. The intricate balancing act of net zero carbon design, which is made more challenging by the changes in multiple Net Zero consultancy techniques, is typically not suited for regular building LCA tools. You can quantify all carbon-emitting and carbon-reducing solutions to meet local Net Zero carbon definitions by using the One Click LCA Net Zero carbon tool.

To meet regional net-zero carbon definitions, quantify all carbon-emitting and carbon-reducing solutions. Analyze the effect of exporting energy on lowering carbon emissions Analyze the effect of biogenic carbon storage stored in buildings or withdrawals in plants on sequestering carbon Calculate the requirement for offsetting once all other options have been tried, among other things.
