Picked up some software on making SRPGs while it was on sale for cheap. Working a tiny bit on setting up a little adventure themed around this blog. Don't know if I'll finish it, bad track record with projects and all, but I'm having fun testing it out

[gensokyogarden]

Lets see how well I know sh- WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS POSTING ABOUT?

[justaz]

merlin who uses his magic everyday in ways that he doesn’t realize isn’t normal. magic helping him see in the dark so he can find his way in the woods or dark rooms with no problem. connecting with the woods around him so he always knows where he is and whats in the general vicinity which allows him to sense bandits just before they attack. using magic to keep warm in the cold or to cool down in the heat. confident and willing to go toe to toe with anyone bc he knows that regardless of what they throw at him, he could always win bc he could just use magic.

then somehow someway (post magic reveal) a sorcerer takes away merlin’s magic. or well just locks it away ig. but anyways merlin doesn’t have this part of him anymore and is left feeling empty, exposed, and vulnerable. arthur, the knights, and merlin going on a quest for answers to their problem and a way to get merlins magic back. but. but. but merlin is all jumpy and he’s rambling more than ever and is often reaching out to grab onto someone (usually arthur) and everyone’s confused and then they get ambushed and merlin freezes in the middle of the path like a deer. he’s watching everything go down around him with wide eyes until he’s targeted and one of the knights have to rush in to save him. afterward merlin is constantly holding someone and his grip is rather tight. he keeps looking around, his eyes scanning the trees around them over and over. when they try and settle down for the night, merlin wont leave the camp without an escort or two and when they’re trying to go to sleep, merlin is flinching at every noise in the woods around them and ends up shuffling over toward the person closest to him and laying pressed up against them.

arthur opening his mouth to tease and call him a coward when the word registers in his mind and he realizes that that’s what he’s actually seeing, merlin scared and defenseless. he ofc doesn’t realize the true depth of it all, i mean he knows merlin is missing his magic but he doesn't know that magic has always been a part of merlin, it makes him him. he’s had magic since he was born, he’s never known life without it. as he is now, he feels bare and exposed and blind and deaf and terrified. the knights are his defense rn and for the past few years, merlins been their protector so its a complete reversal of everything he’s ever known. he’s scared. arthur bites his tongue and lets merlin hold onto his arm and snuggle up close at night for some form of comfort and security. he doesn’t tease or mock and responds to his ramblings of fear with a level of gentleness the knights weren’t aware he even possessed. merlin slowly relaxing as arthur subtly comforts him without addressing it

Why is the Sims community boycotting Curseforge?

I've seen a lot of posts going around calling on Simmers to stop using Curseforge, a modding platform that enables creators to monetize their downloads, with plenty of outrage directed toward modders and CC-makers who are still on the platform. But I've also seen a lot of people who are confused about why there are calls for a boycott.

Curseforge is owned by Overwolf, a company that is donating money to the IDF in support of its ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.

In late October/early November, Overwolf posted a graphic on their social media asking followers to "defend our defenders" by contributing financially to a fundraising drive for the IDF. They were met with backlash and quickly took the graphic down, replacing it with one that used language about raising money for "those affected by the violence in Gaza" (my phrasing may be inexact) but the money is still going to the IDF and not to any agency actually supporting civilians or doing humanitarian work.

You can see the original graphic on this change.org petition, which provides some additional context.

If you are using Curseforge in any way -- by hosting your content there or downloading from it -- you are giving money to a company that is raising funds for an ongoing military campaign against a civilian population.

This is why people are calling for a boycott. If you are a modder or CC maker for the Sims, you should remove all of your content from the website and redirect people to other DL sources. If you are a consumer of mods and CC, you should stop clicking curseforge links and send (polite!) messages to modders and CC makers to urge them to pull their content from the site.

ETA: Here's another link with more images of the original Overwolf Tweet!

Even if it’s something you said out of anger, it’s still something you can never take back.

It's okay Eri, speak your truth

Genuinely did not know Nep Shinki's greeting was "Hey it's me Shinki" but that makes the fact that Nao always greets people with "It is I Nao B." so much funnier. Like mother like daughter.

All of the pregnancies that she had prior to Charlie resulted in miscarriages without exception. Very few reached the third term, but none went past the 6th month.

Some of her miscarriages were excruciatingly painful, while others happened without her knowledge due to not feeling anything off. There has always been great anxiety when she was with child. She tried to maintain her hope each time it happened, while dreading the inevitable and the pain she would experience both physically and emotionally.

Unless she's gifted with the ability to produce healthy eggs, you can consider Lilith virtually infertile. If you impregnate her, there's a 90% chance she won't be able to carry your child to term. Charlie is not even her biological child. She is unaware that the egg in her uterus didn't belong to her.

a 3 year toxic & abusive friendship just ended y'all! he literally got mad at me for spending MY money i set aside ages ago for something i wanted ( acheron ) & today msged me an ultimatum about our friendship while putting me down, expecting me to piss shit & cry & i DIDN'T & instead stood my ground & called him out on being a controller who doesn't see me as a person with a savior complex so he DIPPED! ♡ ( not without the classic ' i'm sorry u feel that way ' & ' caring for my friend is NOT a savior complex ' & making it all about himself u best believe it was OUTSTANDING but i literally don't care i've cried so much over u )

if the new trend is a breakup at the start of every year & it means decluttering my life of incessant negativity, then honestly i am HERE FOR IT

Damian : Tood, your progress towards improved adaptation is commendable as always.

Jason : what happened to hello? How are you? What do you do?

Damian : I do reckon your response is something quite like 'dead' 'not feeling alive' or something like 'not as bad as dying'

Jason : true, anyway what it is demon child? You look happy.

Damian : do i? Well #011 just recently been given doll's to develop his productivity and creativity, and it's been going rather well.

Jason : heh?

Jason : what doll's?

Damian : barbie doll, With the maturation of his creativity, I will arrange for a customized doll to correspond to his imaginative visions.

Jason : well good for him.

Jason : what stories did he made with them?

Damian : a story about a woman who's been betrayed by her tribe, but it's partly her fault so she want to look for a change to redeem. And a star grant her wish, but the way the granting of wish from the star is not as easy as it look. Now she needs to go on a journey to be able to have her wish granted. And the challenge that #011 come up with is quite unique, his creativity is developing well

Jason :

Jason : you're saying about maturation of his creativity? That's shit not complex enough?

Damian : I'm still helping him develop the story so I'm unable to say it has.

Jason : fuck

Jason : your standards is too high that it reach the atmosphere

Damian : it wasn't really a surprise it is? You don't expect an Al Ghul to have a lower standar

Jason : Talia exist

Damian :

Damian : well, it also come hand in hand with questionable judgement.
