#my game glitchy af all the time

[queen-of-scissors]

Omg-- dude the undertale one gave me an idea.

If you could visit their worlds... whos to say that the guys in their world couldnt visit teyvat?

I mean-- they obvi cant normally but im thinking for the more "glitchy" games like Monika from DDLC affecting the code to visit you.

Or the more op characters or characters who have both the knowledge and ability to jump worlds like Sans-- mans both op af and smart af and has experience world hopping. Once he hears from froggy that you visited? Ohhhhhh bOY--

No but imagine-

İf Monika visited tevat İT WOULD BE SO CAOTİC??

ESPECİALLY İN YANDERE AU

Masterlist

Monica would know about all of the other games and casually go and tell everyone she met "im their girlfriend btw"

One day, you are in your teapot, doing paperwork and find a rather suspicious report about you.

One of your favorite items in your abode got stolen, just as the acolytes 'stoped' the said person they realise that they couldn't harm them.

They tought it was a monster that only you can handle so they asked you on guidance on how to beat it. Then they write the desctiption of the monster.

Wait a minute.

İs that Monika?!

Turns out she saw the food laying there and was like "oh their favorte food! Let me go bring them immediatly :D"

She is a sweetheart when she isn't deleting stuff isn't she.

Speaking of her coding powers, it didn't take long before she finds you instead of you finding her. And the dirst thing she was greeted with was... Another... Harem...

Welp time for a killing spree, you better stop her (and other yanderes from killing her)

And if you manage to calm everyone down, Monika would be upset, why did you cheat on her? She has godly powers too! She is even stronger than any of them combined!

everyone else calms her down and say that she will get used to it if she wants to date you, as if it was YOUR idea to go for a Harem and YOU are the toxic one??

.

Now about SANS the meme.

For some random ass reason, the first thing that came to my mind was "xiao and him are kind of alike"

They both traumatised, they both have a City to protect, they both can make stuff come out from the ground (xiao elemental burst, sans normal attack)

The only thing they wouldnt get along with is sans's lasyness. (Which we have a theory about that but i forgor)

OK BACK TO THE STORY

After being stuck in a timeline that the anomaly destroyed over and over again, he knew that all he could do to stop it is by meeting the anomaly personally, and kill it.

He went to alot of words, met alot of people, most of them saw you as a god. A god that created them. Even if it was true, it would only make him hate you more.

Did you create that world to torture them?!

He was in one of those realities, where you are loved beyond compare, and he was already thinking of giving up. But Heard one of them mention that they met you.

Now he couldn't go ahead and ask that person. He was a monster and they were a human, and they profably never saw a sentient monster in this world anyway. So he just followed the clues.

Which lead him to a... Teapot?

Well there was no ketchup in this universe and he didn't had a chance to eat anything since he came here, maybe some tea would help him with his hunger-

And thats the story on how he ended up in your teapot.

The people inside was actually nice, they gave him some food and drinks, without asking too much about how he looks, he just said he overworked himself down to the bone (badum tıssssss). He is almost sad that he is going to kill their god soon.

Almost.

After the meal he asked to see the god and they asked him "which one?"

???????????

What do you mean which one??

Theres more than one?????

Meanwhile, one your acolytes went up to you and told you that you have guests that is dead.

Ok its gonna be the first time a ghost wants to see you. What could go wrong.

" SANS?!???"

" Didn't think i would find you here, huh."

Of course there is fighting, But the thing is EVERYONE in your teapot has more experiance in fighting than him. And add that to being tired and having only 1 HP, He just gives up after the few attacks.

Don't worry, he has all the time in this world and other worlds, he can wait to get you all alone, and finish you once and for all.

He attempts to leave but guess what, now your acolytes are on the hunt for his head!

İts like imposter AU all over again, but with a skeleton that attemted to assasinate you.

İf you tell your acolytes the truth, they won't care at all. Yeah you killed people so what? You can do anything, they are your properties after all.

But they also understand his point of wiew as well.

.

Ok but what if sans is in a happy ending universe.

You played undertale, gave them an happy ending and left the game for good, didnt even delete it.

Then he would just want to meet you and be your friend personally, heck he even might bring other people around!

They still dont see you as a creator mind you, still an anomaly, But a cool one 😎.

İf he manages to find you in the teapot in that reality he goes

"Heya. You've been busy huh?"

"W H A T?! HOW ARE YOU HERE?!"

"Pretty good, thank you for asking."

Turns out he is pretty chill with others as well. ESPECİALLY CYNO -

"SANS PLEASE DONT TEACH HİM YOUR JOKES İ BEG OF YOU-"

"woah dude chill, im SANSing that you are mad at me."

[loveislandthegame]

thoughts on todays volume! in case you are unaware, android users got to play the volume very early, while ios users were given a late release. lmao. (i have both ios & android, but my phone is old & i didn’t want to add “slideshow frame rate” to a game that’s already glitchy af) somehow i managed to escape the horde of unmarked spoilers 🙏🏽

first off, felicity is stunning !!! i'm surprised she had an actual sprite rather than getting the zeph & cassius treatment . if she's not coming back that's such a waste of a really cool & pretty design

friend is really generous, jin . i get OG LI is trying to be nice or whatever but be so fr 😭 the only thing that sienna has been is a boring antagonist, she’s not shown not one single ounce of personality besides being delulu and coming at MC sideways (and it’s mainly because FB now struggles with writing multi-faceted characters…which is why they have AI allegations in the first place…)

speaking of delulu : theo , girl... how many times do i gotta tell you i'm all in on claudia unless they actually let us be poly at the end

MC somehow came out unscathed in movie night, plot armor for the win ! the guys pull MC for a chat before the boy's choice recoupling. the pit in my stomach when i read that.

theo flirts again, but this time our responses are flirty, rude af, or "you should focus on claudia." i didn't want to pick any of these but i picked the flirty one because at first i thought it could be "jokingly" said. interestingly enough, he says something among the lines of how he didn't expect MC to be interested in him because she's with claudia . i didn't want that to bite me in the ass later so i just replayed and picked the rude option (so it seems that it's "canon" for theo & claud to simultaneously crush on MC? at least if she's bi/pan etc.)

i saw this coming but still, this has to be a joke … 😭😭😭😭😭

there’s like what, three volumes left ? unless FB decides to drag this out with a “season 8.5,” this should’ve been a players choice recoupling (hell, it technically could've still been boys choice, with MC getting first pick for winning the heart rate challenge, or because she was selected by the viewers, literally anything lol)

it'd be one thing if OG LI was like, "i chose you because i wanted to keep you safe . even if we're not meant to be, i still care for you, i want you have a chance with the one you want," blah blah blah, but FB never lets us be in a friendship couple, he's just gonna keep pining for MC ... moving on

i forgot to screenshot the first part but it was basically claudia fantasizing about her and MC living in a huge house like the villa, MC was like "how are we gonna afford that"

my MC is a musician, so cuteee

i...what ? 😬 genuinely , what . i read this like 5 times and i still don't understand. unfortunately he did couple up with me, that's why i'm forced to hang out with claudia in the damn shower instead of being out in the open with her . somebody get this grandma to bed

i kinda love the cowgirl outfit. it's terrible, but i love it in a kitschy way . also i just kinda went with it because the mermaid outfit was clipping through MC's braids (as you can see the hat has some weird layering issue, but it's the lesser of two evils)

claudia's outfit wasn't paywalled, and i didn't get the gem option to give jin the viking outfit so he came out looking like this lmfaooooooo

okayyyyyy cowboy carter!

logan arrived way too late imo. again, unless FB plans on extending the season (or he's not romanceable ?) people who get with him are gonna get less time than oliver, angie, youcef romancers. you know how little time that is ???

as for the whole hazel and liam thing ... horrible. , she really deserves better, like me 💋 

[glitchyred]

Hellooo, just a random thought here. Been listening to immortals and started connecting the vibe such gave me to pokepasta bcs yeah.

(fear yet crave to have something from a timeless memory and it hurts and we live forever in an abstract sense of nothingness that's filled once we remember again -lyrics towards the curtains part-, uneven repetition of the string of lone crashes upon us that form a haunting void only so close to what was once wishes to become a source of peace at their painful remains, until it's gone after all fades while everything else becomes part of the parallel world we were in before the old lullaby arrived to reclaim the cries for their choir, the peaceful fright from their leave clinging to ourselves consciousness.)

(idk, music I'd feel so deep while on the balcony in the middle of the night staring at the dark sky while alone with ringing in my brain from the lack of enough noise after some stupid shit and remembering similar things that led to similar scenarios to retroactively feed the burn in heart and throat, but it's cold outside lol so then I'm a microwaved-whatever-halfdefrosted that wants to howl out to the moon and fly towards the clouds with the high wind until myself extinguished at the point near ashes so I'd keep flying around far away even if tied to the burns lol.)

Being immortal sounds awful af in these pastas' situations tbh, yet sounds comforting in a twisted manner that I have no idea how to explain (maybe merely the soothing singing and nostalgia getting to brain, like a take on 'we suffer and it sucks but I'm addicted¿ to the fact we even share such thingso I won't stop either of us meanwhile' from a perspective, unhealthy coping bs )

What do you think? Some scenario/emotion of a pasta evoked by the song?

(Not focusing by the "romantic" aspect of the lyrics but imma take them as not directed to a person, rather a wish to keep experiencing something -but not for long🎵- heh, couldn't let go of in spite of result.)

LMAO DW ABT RAMBLING I say my inbox is always open for a reason. I haven't thought about this song in foreverrrrr but I get what you mean I think

It is a strongly reoccurring theme in Pokepastas that the characters are "trapped" in a specific time, by virtue of being games one is meant to replay over and over, either incidentally implying immortality or thru a more nuanced Infinite Looping Afterlife (LS). I have a lot to say about Pokepastas and their reflections of Childhood Trauma in that regard, but I'll save the essay and just say read Glitchy Red Retold /silly

That being said, call me an optimist, but immortality gets more of a bad rep this days than I think is necessary. I'm a firm believer of life having cycles, every low point necessitates a high one, which I think comes through in a couple of my projects. A Reason to Live as a short one, which subverts the usual "endless looping suffering" trope by implying that Amanita was reborn without their memories, and Semicolon as a whole having strong themes of immortality both through memory and literally (via Slenderman refusing to let people die). You are only stuck in suffering as long as you allow yourself to be, I think (purely neutral statement; I know there's usually some morality tied into that line of thought but I think it's way more nuanced than that lol), so breaking these characters out of their Loops and making them realize that unending time means limitless time to move forward is. Cathartic, I think. After what the contents of most pokepastas are like lol

Hopefully that all made sense?? I'm also kinda rambling lol. Thanks for the asks!!

Really specific ass headcanons on the cast of SMG4

Meggy is really stubborn about sleep not because of her coffee addiction but because of nightmares she has from the anime island incident, the YouTube graveyard and pretty recently from Wild Spaghetti and Wren and pretty much just her trauma in general which results in her having some pretty bad insomnia

She's gotten better though because the glitchy gang don't want a repeat of what happened the last time she didnt sleep for days (read: she got a pretty bad fever because her human body hasnt adjusted to her newly made immune system and prettu much had a breakdown both from the stress, sleep deprivation and delirium caused form her fever) and she's trying to be better for them

What usually helps her sleep is having her cat Loaf near her, having one or more members of the gang sleep in a cuddle pile with her, a good cup of tea with some ramen noodles or the most embarrassing one for her: being rubbed behind her pointed ears

So far Mario and Luigi are some constant cuddle buddies of hers but Tari is a close second with Melony, Boopkins, Saiko and surprisingly Bob in third

With Meggy only looking human physically, she still retains all her inkling functions (plus a little something extra thanks shaggy) meaning yes she can still very much purr and she hates it

Mario and the others often exploit this

I am applying my inklings are basically aquatic cats headcanon onto Meggy and no one can stop me

Saiko is allergic to pollen and is practically knocked out during the first week of spring, yes Tari fusses over her a lot during this time

Bob is capable of being a good business man, he just needs to shed his old habits and bad practices this is easier said than done though

Unbeknownst to anyone not even herself, Tari is very susceptible to viruses, why she hasn't been infected by any is both a combination of dumb luck and being smart on what video games she enters (which is also a result of dumb luck) however that may change soon if TvWare involved now

Kaizo very much teases Saiko about her crush on Tari after he found out every chance he gets, he in turn nearly gets whacked with a hammer by the red faced pinkette

He's super supportive of her crush and will kick anyone's ass who objects, wingmans with Meggy so the idiots can finally confess to eachother

Mario wears a lot of star patches and bandages because he's silly like that

Peach went apocalypse survivor mode for a few weeks and did pretty well while trapped in the demon pit her castle was in, it's just that she got infect by the demon goop A week before SMG4 and the others could go down there to fetch the star, if the crew were to return and search around the remnants of the castle they would find a camcorder and a series of videos tapes of Peach's exploits and find the last 3 tapes are of her expressing her thought as she's been thinking of her actions from the past few years as of late and her regretting how she treated the others, Mario especially and how she wants to apologise to them and treat them all better once she gets out of this literal hell hole

Of course we all knew what happened after that

Luigi has seven evil ex boyfriends, each of which have experienced the wrath of Mario

Mario is also super supportive of Luigi and will also kick anyone's ass who objects

Peach and Daisy are dating, no one is aware of this and no one has figured it out

Pls add Daisy to SMG4 I want to see her kick ass and be a menace

Tari knows some karate moves and will not hesitate to use them post- western spaghetti, clench just speeds up the fighting with a laser and other dubious weapons that Tari didn't know her arm had

Boopkins has a guilty pleasure of watching scooby doo

Smg3 would make an animal sanctuary for any friends Eggdog makes

When Meggy gets sick (which is rare AF) she sorta acts... Kinda like a feral cat

Bob can confirm this statement with all the beak bite mark scars he has and scratches too

For some reason she's not mean to Mario, Luigi, Saiko or Tari (which is to be expected) but also Jubjub and Boopkins

Mario and Luigi consider Meggy A third Mario brother, Meggy cried for an hour straight when she found out about this because of how happy she was

She know uses the named Meggy Spletzer-Mario

Yes I still find it funny Mario and Luigi's last names are Mario so Mario Mario and Luigi Mario

Swag and Chris married for tax benefits

Everyone thinks that's a lie

uGHHHH tumblr is quite glitchy today and i'll resend this ask

anyWAY i remember i saw aknk official posted something a few days ago(?) and announced that episode 3 is almost completed JAJZJANS i'm so ready for the upcoming angst + drama and possible butler being demonized again but ofc i'll be hurt again AAAAAA i remember the pain and worry when haures got captured then it WAS A CLIFFHANGER leaving me quite emotional for a few days waiting for the last update for episode 2 🤣 also im really curious amd want to know more about the butlers' past especially berrien and fennesz 💖

to be honest, berrien is so mysterious and kind of suspicious you dont even know if his actions are really genuine or... not hMMMMMMM 👁👁

OH AND- i saw a jp theory a long time ago, it was a comparison between haures holding his hand out to master and berrien holding out his left hand and aND apparently, it has a meaning!

when someone is holding out their right hand to you, it means the person liked you or comfortable with you

however if someone is holding out their left hand to you..... it means they dislike you or distaste.

guess who's holding out their left hand? BERRRIIEIEIEIEENNNNNAJJSWJAJJA the way my heart broke when i saw that theory lol 🤣

i know its just a coincidence i know BUT imagine the gut wrenching angst if berrien dislikes his master all this time JAJZJAJAJAJA i'll cry for real if it becomes true 🤣 berrien is one of my fave 🥺

-zella

Hi, zella!

There's a whole lot to unpack in this ask, so I'm putting the 'aknk' and 'akuneko' tag in this in case someone else also want to give their two cents.

❗⚠ [Spoiler alert, read with caution] ⚠❗

Putting aside Berrien, it'll be such a plot twist if Fennesz get demonized next because everyone (mostly) is predicting butler from either the 3rd floor or the basement to be the center in the next episode's stage 👀 If I remember correctly, Fennesz is currently the one who notices Berrien's different 'aura' when he asked about Haures' demonisation at the end of episode 2...? It would be great if he could play an important role in the future, episode 3 or not, because of that 🤔

I take it this is the announcement you mentioned, right?

I'm so excited about the next episode too. It's going to be distributed throughout the entirety of the year 2023, it seems? I certainly can't wait to be emotionally devastated once again. Episode 2 was really, really great, wasn't it? 😊

Since we're still in the topic of official announcement... I'd like to go off tangent a bit and talk about the third bullet point. It said, if my understanding is correct, the implementation of full voice acting in episode 2 and and episode 2.5 will be the last ones that come free. From there onwards, they will come into two parts, free and paid ones. Seems like we'll need to pay an additional fee if we want to unlock the voice...? I'm not entirely sure about this one actually. Anyone with a better grasp of Japanese feel free to correct.

I mean, I'm happy if Akuneko's doing well financially and the people who contribute to it, illustrators and voice actors alike, are getting paid well. On the other hand, as a money-wise poor af person, I'm anxious I won't be able to buy it... 😭 I doubt it will come cheaply after all

Moving on to Berrien, this is the tweet that speculated the right/left hand gesture, isn't it? I'm putting a link a there just in case someone either hasn't seen it/wants some context.

I think we all will cry if Berrien hates us 😂 but it's such a delicious theory, an unprecedented move from a joseimuke game should it ever come true. I mean, the most loving, kind-looking male cast that genuinely hates and/or betrays the players at a certain point??? If Akuneko does that, hats off for the bravery. I don't know if they will be able to pull such move though, given the risk of losing players is too big.

And, oh, I'll cry with you too, that's for sure 😭 I also love Berrien too muchー if anything , he is the reason I play Akuneko. But then again I live off the angst and the drama... Well, don't we all, though 😂

[wine-dark-soup]

i think the feeling of disappointment when a game has been in development for, say, +7 years, doesn't come only from the fact it's often still bugged, glitchy and that thousands of labor laws were probably broken in its making. it's also that all the precious graphics and gameplay tools that were used to promote the game don't come with a solid scenario.

studios love realistic graphics and (to my surprise) so do lots of gamers, like it's the only thing that matters. more often than not it's implied this realism will allow you to explore... dark themes, dark places or the intrinsic nature of humanity (which is interesting to equate realism with not only veracity but also everything that is beyond our reach - metaphysics, the human nature, etc). and then when the game is out you have all this - albeit bugged af - but the plot is the most incoherent bullshit you've ever seen, or it makes sense but is simplistic. like the implicit promises weren't kept.

no amount of pixels put together to recreate the perfect beard of the main character, no amount of beautiful sceneries can make up for that. even if the game's issues get fixed, the plot never is - because it's harder to fix a plot than it is to fix bugged textures*. so all you've got is an empty husk. it's beautiful, but it's not worth wandering in. you're delivering packages till the end of times. you can romance a few characters maybe but once your primal desire is fullfilled it's back to nothing. and you're ultimately disappointed.

*i am not saying being a game developer is easy. it's just that it's very different from being a writer. and that companies usually know time is money and it's *easy* to fix bugs: just put the devs in front of their screens for several months of crunch. a writer? can't work like that. the story must be determined beforehand and you can't modify it as it goes (you could. that would be a very cool experiment). and companies know that time is money²: so you get a basic scenario for your beautiful game.

the discrepancy between the quality of graphics and of the scenario never ceases to amaze me

[basslinegrave]

living up to my blog name or something. william rant. long.

in my personal william lore i think he was initially huge and tall and fat and strong in the way that a big man is, not necessarily muscle but enough to take down a person (and especially a small kid) however as time went on he started getting weaker and weaker, both with age and mental health, and this resulted in him relying on machines more (see sister location animatronics) to do the job for him but during all of this he also finds comfort and strenght in his bonnie suit, becoming springtrap is as much a prison as it is freedom, as the suit controls him just as he controls the suit but it definitely is an added strenght, and he fears death more than ever so even if he becomes the weakest, he remains, and he does still, even after death, idc im grasping at straws here, he is too, and he will be around until he is nothing. pizzasim ending was of course really good, (aside from the fact that henry showed up out of nowhere, only making sense if he was locked up until now, but people take him as a hero when he absolutely is not. he isnt a good man, he is morally grey at best imo) but with parts of william obviously lingering in later games, this doesnt have to be his last ending (as it wasnt his first) and seeing the books where he becomes agony, his body literally exploding but allowing the story to continue by his ghost coming back and im holding onto that. fazfrights arent to be taken as canon, but sb ruin changed that for me.. but before that - glitchtrap isnt fully him but a piece or memory of him, how the process was so long and he wasnt truly human for many years even before becoming springtrap, to me he was both a monster in a metaphorical sense but also, if he was injecting remnant to himself, wouldnt it slowly replace him? and finally, i saw someone mention a theory that he did die during the past springlocking accident/s but literally kept posessing his remnant powered constantly regenerating body which is metal af, a bit too out there but, he literally becomes an animatronic and is able to live after being taken out of the suit so how out there is it really. posessing your own corpse of a body is like the coolest thing ever, and even cooler is reshaping it to take the form of a humanoid rabbit.. i think his corpse, him as agony is an existence based on feeling rather than rational thinking, but it keeps bringing me to the entity in ruin. was the beta design scrapped for being too similar to william? or was it actually meant to be him? i choose the second option for obvious reasons, and here i think that that form is more animalistic and evil looking where the new one looks like a much calmer one that is capable of having rational thoughts... so if it means anything, if theres a ghost of william within, he is probably being held in it like a prison again, but is more conscious now that his consciousness left a mortal body (but a fucked up remnant filled posessed one), left the mimic ai, basically its in a standalone program now but i dont think the entity is just a program its more of a vessel? at least the mxes computer is? i want to see more and where this goes. probably steelwool scrapping it again if theres a new dlc, just going to be mxes-less... im also still curious if theres a connection to shadow bonnie... a black or purple glitchy rabbit? seems like a clear connection idk. the code to get into the stage 1 minigame is the number on the faz wrench too... and you get to the minigame thru shadow bonnie in the glitched version.. theres so many parallels also with cassie using the vanni mask to "glitch" through places and such

aside from that, heres an oldie i stumbled upon today through a meme, and yes this is just fun and reaching but... his wording with glitchtrap and then mentioning william as an entity is something that caught me off guard. like holy shit yeah, without even mentioning mimic (since this is old) and with using a completely unrelated story! he puts it into words perfectly

and finally, i wonder how much we will go into fredbears lore one day and how much of william there can be... trying to not have any expectations and high hopes because i do like this open to interpretation approach, where i can take from games and tiny bits i like from books, but i also feel like a full on showcase of fredbears would heal me. it would feed me for 3 months. but just a mere mention will make me happy (thats more than just posters or cutouts that is)

[black-plumbob]

165 Sim Lane

I rebuilt this lot months ago, but never got around to using it. It took me several hours just to furnish it, and by the end, I was too burnt out to work on the details (like individualizing the wallpapers, painting the ceilings, putting in curtains, buying paintings, etc). I also wanted to decorate it with a lot of Christmas stuff because it's winter, and I feel like Dina would be excited about decorating for Christmas (especially right after getting engaged to Mortimer). But I kind of just put a Christmas tree in the living room and called it a day 😅 Dina's lazy, so I guess it tracks ;)

My game has been kind of glitchy when it comes to throwing parties. I always set winter (January) as the first season of the year. For some reason, it makes my game register the first day of the save as the last day of winter, so the only party I can throw is the new year's bash. The last several times I've done the scripted events, I've had to marry Don and Cassandra without throwing a party. It makes the Goth family's backyard feel a little strange. They're clearly expecting a lot of guests, but it ends up being just the family.

So when I was redesigning the lot, I wanted the wedding supplies to be a little more permanent. I wanted the setup to look like many Goths (and their family friends) have gotten married here over many decades (and perhaps even the past century). It suits Mortimer very well, since I usually use him as Pleasantview's priest. As the person who's officiated most (if not all) of Pleasantview's marriages, I think it's fitting that his yard is relatively open to those who want a more private wedding.

For the Goth graveyard, I used mike_1102's urnstone spawner to add Frida Goth and Prudence Crumplebottom to the graveyard. The graves are kind of difficult to see because they're overgrown with weeds. I didn't think much about it until I was taking the screenshots, but perhaps Mortimer would still be maintaining Gunther and Cornelia's graves? Though Mortimer is 60 (at least in my game), so perhaps he's lost all interest in gravesite upkeep.

Not pictured, but across from these graves, I put Agnes and Frida in the same plot, the same way that I usually place the graves of married couples. I'm sure Agnes is in the Goth graveyard as a Sims 1 easter egg, but I find it kind of interesting that Agnes is in the Goth graveyard, and Frida Goth was never married 🤔 Though it's very possible Maxis left Frida out of the graveyard because she would've been buried with her husband's family...but I think it's a lot more interesting to headcanon Agnes and Frida living in the Goth mansion as "roommates."

Like I mentioned earlier in the post, I wanted to do some Christmas decorations, but I only ended up with the Christmas tree. I wanted to move some of the furniture in a way that felt cramped - basically, like Dina was pushing the family's belongings into a corner so that her decorations took precedence. The biggest problem was the piano, which got shoved into the hallway outside the third floor study. But when I was trying to find a place for Cassandra's robotics station, I needed the space, so I had to move the piano somewhere else. I ended up taking out the archway between the living room and the kitchen so I could fit the piano there.

It ended up working out because I really wanted the Goths to have a grand piano. Now its on the opposite wall as the upright, in the kitchen. I feel the Goths have done a lot of entertaining over the years. Especially with their wedding setup in the yard.

Overall, decorating the Goth mansion (particularly the living room) has been challenging because I see Mortimer as a bit of a snob/technophobe, and he would absolutely loathe having a TV in his home, especially his living room.

I'm not playing a strictly 2000's save, but if this save were to start in 2004, Mortimer would've been born in 1944. Wikipedia says that half of US households owned a TV in 1955. So realistically, it's not like TV was after his time or anything. But perhaps Gunther and Cornelia were part of the "TV is rotting the youth's mind" crowd, and Mortimer carried that belief all the way into his golden years.

Additionally, I gave Mortimer (and the Goths) a phonograph and a rotary phone. Phonographs may have been a little before Mortimer's time, but I like to think that it was an heirloom from Gunther and Cornelia, or perhaps even Victor and Gretle.

Though Mortimer is a technophobe/snob, I doubt he's in the kitchen very much. I'm sure that Bella used to order high-end appliances, and I doubt that Cassandra shares her dad's weird technological hangups. So I gave her all the nice appliances.

Mortimer and Cassandra's bedrooms are pretty much the same size, but Mortimer's bedroom is a little more cramped because of the fireplace. Since Dina has just moved in, I figured one of the very first things she'd do is buy new bedding. So she threw out his old black sheets and replaced them with red blankets that have hearts on them. Meanwhile, I kept Cassandra's color scheme black and red in order to fit with the rest of the house - though I kind of wish I'd made her bedding all black to distinguish herself from Dina. Or maybe the red reminds her of Bella?

The rooms on the third floor are unfortunately very tiny. I wanted to fit as many bedrooms as I could because Cassandra is pretty notorious for having a large family. I also had to consider the possibility of Cassandra marrying Darren and having to make space for Dirk.

I ended up with 4 bedrooms. Each bedroom has a hallway that I ended up using as a kind of shared space. Though its hard to see, the hallway outside Alexander's bedroom has a TV in it. The only time the TV could bother Mortimer is when he's en route to his secret study - but even then, he could avoid the TV altogether by walking through Cassandra's workshop instead of the other hallway.

On the 4th floor is Mortimer's secret study. I watched Bigmouth's Pleasantview series last year, and now I'm obsessed with the idea of Mortimer having a secret study. But I didn't know what to put in it!! I wanted to add a couple elixirs of life, but nobody had the aspiration points lol. So for now, I've added a couple money trees. In the actual game, money trees are pretty useless. But for storytelling purposes, perhaps these are the actual source of the Goth family's fortune? ;)

Rant Incoming….

Soooo the Sims 4 Infant update… as everyone probably knows by now… everything that made the new infants game changing and different was completely stripped from the update and locked behind a 60$ CAD Paywall… this has to be the first time EA got so shady you are actually REQUIRED to buy an expansion pack in order to have functional babies, because let’s be honest here, you are REQUIRED to buy this pack for the infants to have gameplay… bad enough they for some strange reason locked the changing tables behind a paywall, especially strange that the base game matching sets are apart of the pack not the update but new matching crib/toddler bed is part of the update not the pack? Whatever when has EA ever made logical choices.

On to the really shady sh*t… EA’s dishonesty and greed is just getting worse and worse. For months now they have been selling us on this update, then selling us on this expansion. Making it seem like the infant update was a separate game changing thing, and the expansion being a generations pack. At no point we’re they honest when showing off the infants, all the gameplay for them is locked behind the paywall. In all reality what we got was smaller needier toddlers already able to do everything a toddler can do basically. I actually thought my game was broken when I went to check the infant update when it launched.. only to find out nope… I HAVE to buy the pack to get gameplay for the new infants. I was okay with EA doing what EA does and locking the changing table to growing together despite it making zero f*cking sense. But to lock everything about the infants that made them infants is just next level. You would think EA would have learned their lesson after getting demolished by City Skylines… especially now when two very promising life sims are coming soon… but alas NOPE. Why would they?

Then we have growing together… I’m not going to lie, I am enjoying it, I am. But I’m also a family type player, I’ve been utterly sick and tired of sims 4 being a millennial simulation without any of the drama and chaos… but here’s the reality. This pack is not a generations pack and it absolutely SUCKS. Kids got what? A tree house? A extremely glitchy bike that modders already made and without the glitches 😂 a new lot type which again they sold it as this new and game changing thing, where there would be classes on different days etc. Reality is, this lot is just a generic lot type where sims just show up and use different things on different days… something modders have already managed to do… this is a MASSIVE game company with lots of money and resources yet they constantly do the bare minimum… there’s absolutely zero excuse especially when modders do more with so little help or financial resources to do so. Pandasama’s childbirth mod is a prime example. If you ever played with that mod, you know how phenomenal it is, the animations, the gameplay, it’s so seamless you feel like it’s part of the vanilla game. Anyways… so for a game pack about growing together, family etc, where is the gameplay for teens? Elders? Adults? Children? Toddlers? There barely is any… people will argue that oh well teens gameplay was all in Highschool… ok? But that was teen and teen only gameplay, even cross compatibility for parenthood was lacking. Not to mention that absolute nonsense of not being allowed to build high schools outside of copperdale, which was utter nonsense, they could have easily made it so if we wanted a functional highschool in another neighbourhood it had to also have the auditorium in the same neighborhood inorder to work. Or if that was too much “work” coding wise for them they could have made copperdale the size of windeberg at least… because these tiny worlds are a joke at this point. It’s also immersion breaking. I can’t have all my families in copperdale, and it’s weird AF for teens from willow creek or oasis etc to be traveling all the way to copperdale it just does make sense and is immersion breaking. Frankly I love the world of copperdale but that’s because I live in Canada and that world is the closet representation of Canada’s environment. I wish we could have gotten that world in windeberg size. These tiny worlds leave no room for community lots and families. The new growing together world is an even bigger slap in the face… not only is this world tiny, it’s all set dressing, what a waste of time imo. For a bustling port city, its dead. No lots once again, which why? Wouldn’t it be less work to just put empty lots everywhere rather than set dressing? If someone’s game lags because of too many detailed lots while using crap computer well that’s on them? If that’s the reason for lack of lots? We accepted no open world or open neighborhood so why take away lots too? It would have been amazing to have bunch of small lots everywhere so we could really build a bustling city/suburb filled with so many families. Many of us play legacy style. My current family, I would have wished to have majority of the adult children and their families move to the new world but then there’s zero room for other families to have interesting gameplay, relationships etc, let alone community lots too. I hate having to travel between worlds constantly. When I play, only time I want to travel is if my sims are going on vacation. Otherwise it’s immersion breaking. Maybe it seems like not a big deal for most, but for me it really bothers me. The worst part about this new world is how stripped it is, we are use to having the set dressing not be usable, no rabbit holes etc, that sucks enough but whatever, this time they went a step further and legitimately stripped it of swimming spots, fishing spots on a world SURROUNDED by the water… and I don’t know if this is my game being glitchy or if this was another thing that was stripped. There’s no collectables? I haven’t seen a single rock, plant, frog, nothing… 1/2

Don't stack Lost Rite, it's broken af!!

I was experimenting with random combos trying to get inspired and kinda liked it with some other hair (I don't remember the name, one of arena URs. whatever i've stacked that one before and it was fine)

And it all went to shit when I went into photo mode, Nikki's eyes got that metallic contacts glitch even though I wasn't really messing with makeup for that outfit. I tried to go back to styling but the back button just fucking stopped working, cool, love this buggy ass game.

I thought whatever, I'll take a pic anyway, but at that point my phone was overheating like crazy and it started messing with my broken sensor, basically ghost tapping everywhere. I had the poses tab open so it made Nikki rapidly go through a bunch of them, and I think the game couldn't load them fast enough because by the time i managed to swipe the window down and stop it Nikki was stuck in some weird distorted pose with her arms unnaturally twisted and her legs just fucking gone — idk, the 3d model for them gave up and stopped loading I guess

I looked at it in awe for a bit and tried rotating her to see Shining Cthulhu from all angles, and that's where it gets even better: eye tracking got turned on by itself too and the button stopped working, so she was always looking straight at me, even when I rotated her body 180 degrees away from the camera (at least I assume I did, it was hard to tell with the glitchy pose)

The game finally crashed when I tried to post it to Reverie, and when I reopened it the UI was completely fucked and my main screen Nikki was replaced by that monstrosity, now also slightly *moving* as if this all wasn't bad enough, and all speech bubbles were empty. Oh, and the back button was still dead. I had to hard shut down my phone to get out because nothing else worked. I probably should've reinstalled at that point but I didn't want to download it again so I just used Fix and let it do its thing... But when it was done, my account was replaced with a newbie one like I just started the game, even though I know it was properly bound and all. I contacted support and they haven't replied yet — as if they're gonna be useful for once anyway

I know the ghost taps changing the pose was probably just my phone being weird, added that for context, but I think the eyes glitch and the UI going crazy was related to the hair. Idk what else to blame, not like I can test it since it's a UR without a set from some past event. Hell, all people I've talked to don't have this hair themselves, one girl thought I was talking about Arionus or something (even tho the hair from that set isn't called Lost Tides iirc). I couldn't find anyone else talking about it, maybe because the hair looks weird so no one else wanted to stack it. And now you know you shouldn't! Unless you wanna lose all of your progress, I guess.

I'm so upset right now. Hopefully support restores my account soon, I've been playing almost since launch and won't be able to get back everything I had if I start over. Hopefully the devs will fix that shit before more people catch it, but knowing Paper I'm not really optimistic about it, so stay safe.

you know what i would love to see for spooky month

nikki creepypasta

i mean come on, "cute but secretly disturbing" is the main horror trend of this decade, nikki is perfect for it

idk if anyone will be interested but as a nice bonus if you do it i'll draw you a portrait of your oc (or your favorite ln/sn character). just make sure i see it

idc if you're terrible at writing, that's a feature for creepypasta

shitposts or serious horror stories, completely in-universe or "and then nikki reached out of my phone" sonic.exe tier, go wild

please make this happen

ooo shanga day?

Pairing: boyfriend!jaemin x streamer!reader

Themes: 18+ | smut | comedy | sickening fluff | domestic af | established relationship!au | streamer!au 

Word count: 5.2k

Summary: You get really upset when, due to a blackout, your stream ends up cut short, and your game is not saved. Thankfully, your boyfriend, Jaemin, with a heart of gold and a dirty mind, knows what to do to cheer you up.

FYI: “Ooo shanga day?” is Simlish for “Why me?”

Warnings: nerdy rambles about the Sims 4 (I wrote it before EA “fixed” the new game pack so bear with me) | cursing | making out | smut | dirty talk | mentions of breeding kink | roleplay | praise kink | handjob (f!receiving) | toys (vibrator) | oral (f!receiving) | protected sex (birth control) | creampie | overstimulation 

A/N my entry for neohub event! Dedicating this fic to people who heart, reblog and comment stuff. Real MVPs you are! 💚💚💚 

The weather outside was perfect – perfect to stay at home and stream. In fact, it was raining cats and dogs. According to your boyfriend, who moonlighted as your private weather forecast presenter, the storm was coming. Jaemin went on and on about how you shouldn’t leave your shared apartment unless it’s absolutely necessary. If there was no other way to convince you to stay inside, he nagged you to wear warm clothes and take an umbrella.

Thankfully, you didn’t feel like leaving your house under any circumstances. You were supposed to go to the gym, but you changed your plans to playing your favorite game – the Sims 4. After all, it’s been quite a while since you had a chance to enjoy the game experience.

“The game is so glitchy,” you complained when the public lot on which you wanted to hold a wedding ceremony for your Sims glitched for the hundredth time. “Seriously, guys. Don’t get the newest game pack. Wait until they fix all the bugs first.”

mortimergothrawr| 20:43 | can’t you just turn the pack off in the settings?

You looked into the comment section of your live stream, wishing that turning off the game pack was an option. “Unfortunately not. I got it, and now I gotta suffer the consequences.”

Sighing, you decided to give up on marrying your Sims. The officiant didn’t show up, the guest didn’t want to do anything once they sat their asses down to watch the ceremony, and for some reason, your Sims refused to cut the wedding cake.

“I am done,” you groaned when your game froze when you tried to make your Sims elope. “I am so done with this. Who needs marriage anyway? Cohabitation is just as fun, isn’t it?”

watercowplantsdaily41 | 20:45 | which game pack is actually worth the money?

Waiting for the bugged game to unfreeze, you looked at the twitch chat. “It mostly depends on what you like to focus on when you play. I’m all about gameplay, so for me, it’s definitely parenthood,” you blabbered, naming all the perks that you could list off the top of your head.

donlotariohotdaddy | 20:47 | do you plan on inviting your boyfriend to stream with you?

You read another message and cringed mentally, remembering the last time Jaemin joined your stream. It was a fun experience, but you weren’t ready for it to occur again.

First of all, Jaemin doesn’t know anything about gaming. It was a nightmare to sit next to him and watch him play. Jaemin was polite and tried his best to create a decent-looking Sim, and all of the viewers seemed to enjoy the stream (mostly your reactions, though; especially when Jaemin did questionable things or spilled embarrassing facts about you.)

Second of all, you doubted Jaemin would like to participate again. You would hate to force him to do something he didn’t want, so you had to figure out an elaborate excuse.

“I don’t think he will anytime soon. Jaemin’s really busy balancing both university and work,” you politely answered when you exited the save and returned to the main menu. “I’ll let you guys know before if he ever decides to join.”

woofwoof17 | 20:51 | you’re so cute together. I hope we can see the both of you soon

“What should I play now?” You asked, scrolling through your long list of saves, not knowing what to focus on. “Anyone got any suggestions? Should I build something? I haven’t built any starter homes in a while…”

godcompexhitsbad | 20:57 | have you got any new mods to show us?

“I haven’t got any new ones ever since we got the last big update,” you replied, scrolling through the comments to find inspiration. It’d be a shame to end the stream so soon, especially when you didn’t get a chance to play properly…

sulsul123 | 21:01 | have you played the scenarios yet? The power couple one sounds fun

thesims2dabest | 21:01 | naaaaurrrrr they are too easy

caliente_nina67 | 21:01 | they’re like community challenges but for dummies

You watched people argue in the chat and occasionally shared your opinions on the matters. Although the topic wasn’t particularly controversial, quite a debate emerged, which you eloquently concluded with a short statement – fuck capitalism.

“Actually, I have never finished my 100 baby challenge when I think about it,” you wondered, trying to find that save. “It’s been ages since the last time I played it.”

toddlersdeservebetter96 | 21:12 | we’re in for a marathon, besties

With the help of your viewers, you found the right save and let it load. According to your thorough family bio, your Sim just gave birth to baby number 52, about to start looking for another donor. Your matriarch didn’t have it easy; based on your family tree, you made your Sim suffer from six twin pregnancies already.

“Oh my god, the house is awful,” you cringed at your old build. Your skills have improved significantly since the last time you played that save, so it was time to provide your Sims with a beautiful household they truly deserved.

Firstly, you moved all necessary items to the inventory. You were on the budget, and you didn’t want to sell appliances and decorations for a depreciated price, only to buy the same exact ones twice as expensive.

Taking your viewers’ pointers and suggestions, you spent almost an hour building a new house for your matriarch and the kids. It was fun to engage with other players, especially when they gave you great ideas on how to decorate the interior.

“Hmm… now that I think about it, I should give my Sims a makeover. I wanna pluck my eyes out when I see all these base game outfits. What was I thinking?” You joked, popping into the Create-a-Sim center.

fatherwintersbaby19 | 22:31 | not all your Sims looking like NPCs

nomoreideasforusernamessorry2 | 22:31 | you seriously play with your townies, lmfao

people.dont.read.these.anyway | 22:31 | cottage living pack has so many cute outfits

“I shouldn’t base an entire look on a nail polish, should I?” You pondered, contemplating if you should begin your makeover from the start again. You somehow made your matriarch look cute. However, when you could see the final outcome, all colors seemed to clash.

giveaustheburglarsback | 22:45 | you’re overthinking it. Your Sims look adorable

“Aww… thank you so much.”

whoremembers11 | 22:51 | I have to go now. Are you going to stream during the weekend?

“I don’t know. I’ll be watching the new season of Bridgerton with Jaemin,” you answered, entering the game mode. “He’s been really excited about it, and I can’t ditch him,” you giggled as you wondered what kind of dramatic reaction Jaemin would give you if you actually had the audacity to choose gaming over a Netflix marathon with him.

Focusing on the game, you took care of your Sims’ needs. Your children went to school, leaving your matriarch with the toddlers who desperately needed to be potty trained.

“Who should be our next baby daddy?” You asked your audience as you opened the family tree, attempting to see who you had already woohooed with. You’d feel embarrassed if you tried to court one of your previous donors. That would be a rookie mistake you’d hate to make.

“Occult babies count double. Should we woo Vlad? Or maybe Father Winter? Wait– does he even count as an occult Sim? I don’t think he does,” you thought, rambling to yourself, trying to make the best choice.

Despite your indecisiveness, the people on your stream helped you choose your next target. Without much trouble, you invited Knox Greenburg over. Quickly, you discovered his traits and swept him off his feet with your flawless coquetry.

“Should I randomize the woohoo place?” You asked, and everyone in the chat seemed to love that idea. “That’ll be one hell of a date if you ask me,” you commented while typing all woohoo spots in the online randomizer. “Here goes nothing,” you muttered, letting the wheel of fortune decide your matriarch fate.

Much to your dismay, your next baby was to be conceived in a dumpster. Maybe it wasn’t the most romantic option, but you hoped it would be, at least, efficient.

With determination written all over your face, you continued your game. Your matriarch took care of the children and worked from home on her cat video creator career.

“She’s going into labor!” You yelled in excitement when you got the notification. Quickly, you deleted the action queue, sending her off to the hospital. “Guys, it’s happening. Say hello to baby number 53. I really hope it’s a girl.”

It was a boy.

“Do you guys have any name ideas?” You asked, looking for suggestions. “Oh my god, the weather outside is terrible. I just heard a really loud thunder,” you added as you craned your head to look through the window. “I know it’s a stupid idea, but should I name him Thor?”

Just when you were to save your progress and end the stream, you got another pop-up notification – your matriarch just gave birth to twins.

It was a girl.

“What? Twins? How am I gonna raise them all at once?” You muttered in worry, knowing how much work it required to bring up more than one child on a short lifespan. “Okay. An idea. Would it be too much if I named her Hela? Never mind, I am naming her Hela.”

You were getting pretty tired – your eyes were getting dry, and you needed to rest. It was definitely your cue to end the stream and tell Jaemin to stop napping on the couch and join you in your bed. After all, it was almost midnight.

“What the hell? No way,” you breathed out, unable to comprehend what just happened. “Triplets? Is this for real? Are you freaking kidding me? What are the odds?” You shook your head in disbelief. “Actually, I know the odds – one percent.”

It was another boy.

sellmefootpics18 | 23:43 | please name him Loki

Without any hesitation, you entered the suggested name. You were desperate to end your stream now – you had enough surprises for one sitting.

Unfortunately, before you got to save and exit the game, you saw a bolt of lightning followed by thunder and a blackout. Within a second, the electricity was gone, and so was your game progress.

No, no, no, no, no.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” You screamed at the top of your voice, ready to break something. Cursing under your breath, you clenched your fists, letting frustration take over you.

“What happened? Are you hurt?” Jaemin asked in worry as he rushed through the doors, alarmed by your shouting. “The lights are out. Are you alright?” Jaemin scurried to your desk, making sure not to blind you with the flashlight.

“I haven’t saved my game,” you confessed, resting your forehead on Jaemin’s shoulder when he crouched down in front of your gaming chair. Gently, he wrapped his hands around you, letting you calm down in his arms.

“It’s okay,” he whispered, tightening his embrace. “Wanna talk about it?” Jaemin offered, and you straightened up and looked him into his eyes. “Let’s lie down before you tell me everything that happened in your game.”

Jaemin was a perfect boyfriend – he knew what to say, how to say it, and most importantly, when.

Gently squeezing your hand, he helped you get up and led you to the other room. The bright beam of the flashlight illuminated the floor as you walked to your bed, trying not to step on anything that was scattered by your feet.

“I was really worried when I heard your scream,” Jaemin confessed as he watched you crawl under the sheets, throwing the duvet over your head in defeat. Smiling at your adorable antics, Jaemin lay down next to you, pulling you against him, spooning you. “What happened?” He asked, and you turned around to face him, peeking at him from beneath the blanket.

Having lit a peach-scented candle by the nightstand, Jaemin wrapped his hands around your frame, letting you ramble. Although he had no idea what you were talking about, he listened to you attentively. He found your passion adorable, and admittedly, he could listen to you prattle for hours.

His right hand travelled all over your hips and your lower back as he gently nodded his head, consuming all the information.

“You don’t understand. Do you have any idea what the odds are?” You asked dramatically, huffing in frustration. It was quite an achievement, but it was all for nothing.

“One to a hundred, yes, you’ve mentioned it only a couple of times,” Jaemin giggled, brushing hair out of your face as he pressed a fond kiss against your forehead.

“Sometimes I envy you,” you whispered, pouting. “You’re laid-back and always relaxed, and you don’t have a single ounce of competitiveness in you,” you carried on as you played with the hem of his hoodie, hoping you could absorb some of his nonchalant energy and de-stress.

“You’re hot when you’re passionate about something, though,” Jaemin argued back, ready to elaborate that your enthusiasm was one of the reasons why he loved you so much. You were always devoted to everything you put your mind to, and your motivation to get all of it done to perfection was admirable about you.

“Thank you, Jaemin,” you said, leaning forward to give him a gentle peck.

“We could practice if you want,” Jaemin offered, and you raised your eyebrow in suspicion.

“Practice what exactly?” You asked in curiosity, narrowing your eyes at him, hoping he’d clarify. “Do you want to teach me how to chill, or what?”

“I meant your game challenge,” Jaemin admitted, and you laughed, poking his side.

You looked at Jaemin in confusion, trying to decipher his odd statement. What did he mean by practice? The power was gone; there was no way in hell you could start the game and try it again.

“Why are you smiling like that?” You inquired, twisting your facial expression in distaste.

“Like what?”

“Like a sex offender,” you replied honestly, and Jaemin burst out laughing. “Stop doing that.”

“How can you be so dense? I mean us, practicing,” Jaemin groaned as he grabbed you by your hips and pulled you closer, giving you an obnoxious kiss. “Like in real life.”

“What the hell?” You raised your voice, trying to untangle yourself from Jaemin’s arms. “Are you kidding me? It’s not something you can practice! And even if we could, we’re not ready. And how do you expect us to have triples? Are we even genetically potent for that? I mean… my mom is a twin, and everybody knows it likes to skip a generation, but still… it would be very immature of us, don’t you think? Also, can you imagine having triplets? Wild, and think about the stretch marks; they must be pretty bad after having triples,” you rambled, but Jaemin’s genuine smile he had when he looked at you never faltered.

“I’ve given it some thought, and I think we’re ready, but I understand your worries,” Jaemin genuinely answered, staring into your eyes. Did he think about having children with you? He must’ve had everything already figured out – the mortgage and the kindergarten were probably included in that thought process. “We could play pretend for now. You know… to see how we feel about it.”

You were deeply touched by Jaemin’s heedful words. Although he seemed ready to start a family, you didn’t feel pressured to make up your mind. Jaemin simply made that proposition for you to consider, willing to wait as much as you’d need to.

“Play pretend how? I’m on the pill, and you’ve been nutting inside me ever since. How is that pretending?” You answered, giggling when Jaemin pouted in slight annoyance.

“Roleplay! Role-play! Haven’t you heard of it?” Jaemin yelled, dramatically rolling his eyes. “Roleplay, woman. As in breeding yes, baby no. What do you think?”

Instead of giving him an instant reply, you only hummed, thinking his proposition through. You were taking your pills regularly, so the chances of getting pregnant were low, almost nonexistent. The only thing you dreaded was that you’d grow to like that type of roleplay a bit too much.

Jaemin suggestively winked at you a few times, interchangeably blowing you innocent kisses, hoping it could convince you. Your lack of reply made him slightly anxious, but when you smiled and nodded your head, Jaemin heaved a large breath, not realizing he was even holding it in.

“Awww… you want me to put a pretend baby in you,” Jaemin cooed, sliding his hand under the hem of your (his) hoodie, pulling you even closer. “You want me to fuck you full of my cum and make your belly swell,” he teased, and you hid your face in the crook of his shoulder, hoping it was enough to cover all signs of your embarrassment.

“Stop it,” you whispered, but your words didn’t carry their gravity. Giggling, Jaemin gave your neck playful kisses, obnoxiously pulling away with an over-the-top mwah sound.

“Let me take care of you,” Jaemin said as he propped his weighed on his elbow, taking in all of your beauty. “Tonight is all about you,” he added and pressed a chaste kiss against your forehead.

“You better mean it,” you smiled, letting Jaemin do whatever was currently occupying his mind.

“Have I ever not?” Jaemin challenged with a raised eyebrow, but when you were to talk back and tease him, he pulled the hood on your face, shutting you up before you even managed to say anything. “Don’t you dare lie to me; you always come back for more.”

“That is true,” you replied, pushing the hood off your face. “You’re too good for me,” you admitted as you reached down to the hem of the hoodie, pulling it over your head, revealing your bare skin to him. You spent the entire day inside, so it wasn’t just pointless to suffer from wearing your bra. For Jaemin, it was a pleasant surprise to discover there was nothing underneath the thick hoodie.

“You streamed like that? Naughty,” he commented, staring at your bare chest, admiring it. When watching wasn’t enough, he stretched his arms to fondle your breasts, making you hiss when he squeezed them unexpectedly.

“Relax, the camera was set to film from my neck upwards,” you clarified, so Jaemin could drop his possessive boyfriend act. Besides, even if your chest got caught on camera, your curves were concealed under the hoodie. It was so big and thick you were just a shapeless form. “There’s nothing worth getting jealous over.”

“Of course, there is,” Jaemin argued, willing to shower you with compliments and screeds on how others envy him for dating you. “Have you seen yourself? Even dressed like a goblin, you’re gorgeous as fuck,” he added, judging your sweatpants. Although Jaemin loved when you dolled up for him, he felt just as attracted to you in your comfortable home wear.

“How about we get back to the let-me-take-care-of-you part, hmm?”

“We got a bit sidetracked, didn’t we?” Jaemin grinned as he leaned forward, peppering your neck and cleavage with delicate kisses, kneading your breasts. “Imma prep you so well,” he whispered when he slid his hand into your panties, flicking your clit with his skillful fingers.

“Just take it all off,” you urged as you pulled down your sweatpants together with your red lacy panties down to your mid-thigh, letting Jaemin take care of the rest.

“Huh,” Jaemin whispered upon seeing your fancy pair of underwear before he yanked it down your legs and tossed it onto the floor. “That’s what you wear underneath all of that?” He asked, still comprehending your fashion choice. Were you planning to have him dick you down?

“All the plain ones are in the laundry,” you commented, innocently batting your eyelashes.

“It’s your turn this week, so of course, you let it pile up,” Jaemin tsked as he got rid of your socks, so you were lying completely nude in front of him. “I have an idea,” he added, quickly looking away to rummage through your nightstand. “How do you feel about it?” Jaemin asked, showing you the cute purple vibrator which you both liked to use from time to time to spice things up.

“Yes,” you replied eagerly, knowing Jaemin would put you through sweet torture with it.

Smirking, Jaemin turned on the device and pressed it against your clit, letting it gently tease you with the slowest setting. “It feels nice, doesn’t it?” he cooed as he watched you roll your hips, trying to apply more pressure.

“Mmm… keep going,” you purred as you shut your eyes close, letting the pleasure slowly build up. With the toy still against your core, Jaemin leaned in and sucked your left nipple, providing you with extra stimulation. “More,” you whispered, and Jaemin surprisingly complied with you, switching to the quicker mode. “Fuck.”

“You’re so wet already,” Jaemin commented as he looked at your drenching entrance glistening with your essence. “I could slide right in, but I’ll wait until after you come,” he teased, rubbing your juices all over your folds. “Should I turn it up more? I can’t wait to see you writhe,” Jaemin suggested, and you nodded your head, unable to say no to him.

The tip of the vibrator dug into your clit, making your legs shake, and it was only on speed 3 out of the possible 5. Jaemin’s sinful words must’ve got to your head a bit too much than you’d like them to. Tonight you were exceptionally sensitive, and Jaemin wouldn’t take it easy on you. Quite the contrary, he’d please you until you wouldn’t be able to take any more.

That’s how much he loved you.

“Why did you stop?” You whined when Jaemin turned off the device. “Nana,” you whimpered, hoping your begging voice would make him turn it back on.

“It wasn’t me,” Jaemin answered as he creased his eyebrows, studying the vibrator. There was only one explanation on why it would randomly switch off, and you groaned, blaming it on your bad luck. “I think the battery is out,” Jaemin delivered the news after inspecting the device, and you held back a frustrated sob. “Sorry, babe.”

“Where is your power bank?” You asked, not even trying to conceal your desperation. “We could charge it up. It’ll be ready just in time for round two,” you bargained, but Jaemin only offered you an awkward smile which was a pretty good indicator your plan wasn’t going to work out.

“I don’t have it,” he revealed, and you pouted, heaving a deep sigh. “I‘ve lent it to Jeno. He’s going on a hiking trip this weekend, so I let him have it,” Jaemin explained, smiling sheepishly.

Jaemin was too good for his own good. Of course, charging your vibrator during a blackout wasn’t one of the reasons why Jaemin had made that purchase, but Jeno was going on these silly hikes way too often to not have his own charging device.

“Don’t worry. I’ll eat you out just fine,” Jaemin spoke up as he climbed between your legs to cup your clit, sucking and tugging it. Although it was a different type of sensation, you quickly forgot about the damned toy when Jaemin’s mouth was getting you all worked up.

“Nana–“ you moaned, gripping the sheets when his tongue lapped all over your folds.

“I’ll make you all nice and wet for my cock,” Jaemin whispered as he pulled away to stare at your drenching cunt and stretch you with his long fingers.

“Yes, Nana,” you chanted his name, feeling your orgasm approaching. “I need your mouth back,” you groaned as you groped your breasts, kneading them. Having listened to your desperate pleas, Jaemin leaned in to cup your sex, flattening his tongue against your clit. In an instant, you lost your grip on reality as the powerful heat of your orgasms washed through you.

Jaemin’s hands and mouth moved in sync, guiding you throughout your peak.

“You look so pretty like that,” Jaemin shamelessly commented as he stared at your post-orgasm form. Your eyes were closed, your bottom lip in between your teeth as you basked in the pleasure. How much Jaemin wished to have better lighting than a single candle – he’d take so many photos of you for his personal collection.

Looking at you fondly, Jaemin wiped his jaw with the back of his hand.

“How are you feeling?” Jaemin asked as he lay next to you, caressing your body. His hand ran down your side to rest on your bare butt and give it a playful squeeze.

“So good, Nana,” you whispered, cuddling closer to him, nuzzling your nose in his hoodie.

“Just tell me when you’re ready, and we’re making babies,” Jaemin said, undressing himself in haste. Though it wouldn’t be any different than all the other times he nutted inside you, the fact that you were willing to try out roleplaying excited him a great amount.

“I want to suck you off, though,” you confessed, stretching your arm to give him a couple strokes, but Jaemin was quick to slap your hand away.

“We’re not doing that tonight,” he ordered as he got on the bed, right between your thighs. “Every drop of my cum is getting inside of you,” he clarified, and you rolled your eyes, muttering under your breath that you’d just have a taste. “Just think how hot you’ll be all knocked up, swollen with our baby,” Jaemin carried on, and you got dizzy by just thinking about it.

“Can I, at least, ride you?” You asked, pouting. It was your secret weapon – when you looked at him like that, there was no way he could deny you.

“Come here,” Jaemin smiled at you and massaged his thighs, mentioning for you to sit down on them. Giggling at him, you sat astride, letting his veiny cock brush against your folds. “Are you still sensitive, babe?” Jaemin cooed, and you nodded your head while adjusting your position.

Carefully, you raised your hips, and Jaemin aligned his erection with your entrance, letting you slowly sink down his length. You could feel every vein on his cock as it brushed against your walls.

“Nana,” you breathed out as you wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him against your chest. “I’ll go slow, okay?” You muttered, and Jaemin hummed, letting you choose the pace.

At a rather unhurried pace, you began rocking your hips up and down. Jaemin’s hands were all over your back as he held you close, sucking your nipples.

“Ah fuck,” you moaned, arching your back, already feeling another orgasm approach.

“You’re doing great, love,” Jaemin moaned, trying to control his voice. The way your walls squeezed around his erected cock got him to feel dizzy. Despite the slow tempo, you rolled your hips when he was deep inside of you, making him lose his mind.

You loved when Jaemin was vocal in bed, and right now, he was moaning filth straight into your ear when you rode him. One second, Jaemin was whispering the nastiest things, only to shower you with compliments on how well you were squeezing around him later. At this point, you had no idea which side of him turned you on more.

“Nana,” you groaned, shutting your eyes close. Driven by lust, you quickened your pace in desperation, already feeling tiny sparks of your approaching peak all over your body. “I won’t last much longer,” you admitted, tightening your muscles around his throbbing erection.

“Shit, shit,” Jaemin cursed as he started to pound from beneath, bottoming out. You drove him crazy, and he couldn’t hold it in anymore. You were squeezing him so nicely – Jaemin needed to fill you with his cum.

Jaemin’s cock was pulsating inside of you, and your sensitive clit brushed against his pelvic bone every time you bobbed up and down. After the first round, it was too much for you to handle, so you came, shouting Jaemin’s name at the top of your voice when you did.

“Everybody in our building knows whose cock is the best now,” Jaemin cheekily commented, fucking you through your bliss. “I’ll carry that title with pride,” he added as he cupped your mouth, shutting you up with a passionate kiss.

After a few thrusts, Jaemin came undone, shooting his load deep inside of you with a throaty wail.

“Oh God,” Jaemin breathed out, “that was magical,” he added, innocently pecking your lips. “I love you so, so much,” Jaemin confessed, pressing gentle kisses all over your face.

“I love you, too,” you giggled, still high from your orgasm. “I need to lie down,” you said, and Jaemin grabbed you by your thighs and carefully helped you rest your back on the bed. His cock was still inside, preventing his cum from leaking out.

Pretend or not, Jaemin was going to roleplay this fantasy until the very last act.

“If this was real, we would’ve made at least twins,” Jaemin remarked as he slowly pulled out his flaccid cock, staring at his cum ooze out of your whole. “Wouldn’t that be exciting?” he challenged, scooping his sperm with his finger, pushing it back in.

“You can’t expect me to be on board after one time we roleplayed it,” you teased as you climbed up the bed to rest your head on the soft pillow. “We need to practice a few times more for me to agree,” you added, and Jaemin smiled, realizing you were making tiny steps in the right direction.

“That’s not a no, so I’m gonna take that,” Jaemin happily said, pulling you against his side, cuddling you. “And that’s all because of your game,” he mused with a sigh, proud of that turn of events. That seemed unreal, but Jaemin was content with the outcome.

“And now, I’m upset. Why did you mention that again?” You grumbled, trying to dramatically suffocate yourself with Jaemin’s bicep.

“We can repeat the whole process from the beginning,” Jaemin teased, biting his bottom lip as he seductively stared at you. “Just give me a moment to get my shit together.”

“Thank God you weren’t near me when I downloaded the risky woohoo mods the other day,” you mused with a playful smirk, and Jaemin cocked up his eyebrow as his interest was piqued.

“How come you’re telling me all of this now?” Jaemin yelled dramatically, regretting that he wasn’t actively enjoying your previous streams. “You gotta teach me how to play.”

“The Sims 4 is way more than woohoo mods and 100 baby challenge,” you remarked, and Jaemin resisted the urge to boohoo you.

“It’s all about deleting the pool ladder. Everybody knows that,” Jaemin proudly added in, and you just pulled him closer, shutting him up with a kiss. You had no heart to tell him the truth about the pool ladder situation. “Just kiss me.”

With the help of the voodoo doll, which has easily become my fav object in the entire game, we conquer shaved-ponytail-geezer’s heart! Well not really, but he got an insta crush! I still can’t fathom that Mr. Big was on the lot and Cyn legit did the vomiting animation @ him and went for this guy instead. At the same time, I can absolutely fathom it.

This poor maitre d’ lady has been watching us romance geriatrics in her place of employment since Culturally Appropriating Drama Prof, maitre d’ lady sweetie, I’m so sorry. 

-Don’t be, business among the lucrative grey demo is booming!

Well look at Cyn giving back to the community! Keeping the elderly company, supporting local commerce, what a charitable queen.

We return home, where Sophie has clearly taken my advice to chill on the pet training while pregnant to heart, literally all her wants are about pets learning commands.

-And this, D’vorah, is how you play dead!

Soph please get some goddamn rest before this training becomes too realistic for comfort. 

Valentina grows up! She is so cute and chonk, looks just like Abbey with Maxx’s coloring AND she’s a genius <3 Aw Val, I’m sure based on your adorable appearance and cute name you’re gonna be the best doggie ever! (*ominous music*)

-Ok sweetheart, you’ve been an adult for almost 36 seconds now, time to get a job and learn your first command! We’re gonna learn how to ‘shake’!

-Oh, I’ll learn how to ‘shake’ alright.. I’ll shake you losers like you’ve never been shaken!!! 

-What a good girl :)

Sophie passed out in front of a cat painting.. if that isn’t a suitable summary of her life I don’t know what is.

Real talk, during this pregnancy Shajar has been A COMPLETE FLOP. Soph has had a pretty rough go of it and Shajar barely interacts with her? To the point where she gave Soph one measly hug and I legit took a pic of it?? For comparison Don -for all his general uselessness AND getting cheated on- is always following Cyn around and serenading her in the hallways and crap. 

It feels like Shajar locked this down via the sneaky impregnation bs and thinks she doesn’t have to put in time anymore, clearly those socio Jojo genes are finally making an appearance. Now I don’t mean to play favorites, but Shaj, if you fuck this marriage up and she dumps you, you’re out the door and she’s staying at the house, even your parents like her better:

-So he’s going on and on about how if he gets a chin implant he’ll be a perfect 10 and I tell him, ‘Worthington, you fucking WASP inbred, why waste all that money when a train could run over your face for free? That’d still improve that mug of yours!’ hahaha!

-HAHAHAHA oh Sophie, how delightfully cruel you are!

-Mon Dieu, Francés sùcks, hùhù!!

-What’s so funny? >:| -Oh, we’re just shittalking Frances and Ti-Ning, Shaj, come join! -I like Frances and Ti-Ning >:| -UGH, of course you do. Pay her no mind, Sophie, she’s always been a buzzkill. Literally, she killed my buzz the minute she was born and didn’t stop for 17 years.

Ok things are definitely starting to clear up around here re: Shajar’s recent attitude, and I guess it’s semi-understandable but I only have one thing to say to you, Shaj: get over it.

So our butler was glitching so we got a new one that a) is glitching even more b) is an elder whom Cyn is lusting over. So not only is this guy’s icon glitched as pictured above-

-but he also completely changes his face template when he’s in his swimwear to use our hot tub while on the clock (money well spent). His regular face is the male Kaylyn Langerak one, chameleon king! 

You might be wondering why I’m dedicating this much time to introducing the glitched butler, and it’s because this guy ended up glitching so hard he made the entire lot unusable, and I freaked the fuck out fixing it and missed several pics, but more on that disaster when it happens. For now I was all like ‘harhar look at the butler changing faces so he can not do his job undetected’, how sweet and naive of me. But for real if you have a glitchy butler get the fuck rid of him asap.

A mixed day for Sophie’s LTW as Maxx manages to get fired 2 days before retirement, iconic-

-but D’vorah tops her career and earns 10k! Good job, baby!

-Ya no shit, you dumb motherfucker.

I see we caught you in a great mood as always, moving on.

It’s a regular day as Mad Scientist Jojo is debasing himself fixing Cyneswith’s pink computer..

..and Cyn goes to play video games with iVan.. when suddenly..

..JACK DO RUNS IN AGAIN, OF COURSE UNINVITED. BRO WHAT THE FUUUUUCK I CAN’T WITH THIS PSYCHO. WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW???

-I’M HERE TO CLAIM WHAT’S MINE.

WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

B R O R     R O R B

WHAT. A. FREAK

I feel you guys are gonna think I’m making this shit up, I swear I’m not, this is all he did, ran in and kissed Cyn. Jack Do aka a) had two lame dates with her in uni b) accidentally broke her and Don up c) currently furious with her for ‘cheating’ on him with Malcolm d) wasn’t even in love with her to begin with literally RAN IN OUT OF NOWHERE AND KISSED HER. CYN WTF DO YOU DO TO THESE GUYS

I’M. THEY WEREN’T EVEN BEST FRIENDS AND THEY GOT INSTA-LOVE FROM THIS??? Literally I had completely given up on Jack Do after the Malcolm incident, I thought him running into our house last time was some weird hilar glitch, but clearly I was wrong af. He’s such a perfect Union spouse, why does he have to be face 1??? Honestly I might just break my holy rule for him.

We have time for one more lover before we’re drowning in screaming infants, so we invite ProbablyJeff over to seal the deal, but he’s playing hard to get and won’t get a crush on Cyn. PJ, bro, no offense but have you seen yourself? Get a grip.

-Nothing Sugar won’t fix, huhu!💗

Who’s Sugar?

-It’s what I named the voodoo doll, silly, huhu!🌸

There we go, that’s better..

..that’s the stuff! God, PJ is fug, why does Cyn either like them old or ugly or both??

Valentina’s charming personality is starting to reveal itself.

-YOU DIE TONIGHT, PROBABLYJEFF, AND BY THE TIME I’M DONE WITH YOU YOU’LL WISH YOU’VE NEVER BEEN BORN

-WHAT DID I DO??

-I’M A JACK DO STAN AND YOU’RE STANDING IN THE WAY OF TRUE LOVE

The butler departs in his swimwear in the snow, I LOVE how that didn’t tip me off that he’s glitched and I should get rid of him, sharp as a fucking cue ball.

-Sophie and Cyneswith, I’ve called you both here even though you’re about to pop a kid any second now, to deliver a long-winded, suspenseful speech about who will inherit my vast fortune once I leave this earthly realm. 

-How long-winded, daddy?💗

-Those kids will have died of old age by the time I’m done. Let us begin; I was born in poverty to imbecile parents 63 years ago- 

-Sorry, Jojo, this is truly riveting, I just have to take a quick shower and then I can give you my undivided attention! I’ll be right back!

-And I have to go make out with ProbablyJeff and I don’t have any undivided attention to give you, bye daddy!🌸

OMG IT’S HAPPENING. IT’S HAPPENING IN A TINY BATHROOM, CLASSIC TS2. WHERE TF IS SHAJAR, USELESS. STAY STRONG SOPHIE, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

-FUCK YA I CAN! Ok, get out of there you little bastard, come on!

It’s a boy, and he has freckles and KOMEI’S BLUE EYES OMGGGGGGG. BRO ok I legit got kinda emo over this, from Komei’s kids Gunther and Daniel got his blue eyes and Jojo got Vic’s green! So Sophjar bebe inherited those straight from Komei! <3

-Ya ya, the passage of time, life and death, whatever. Now you do remember our deal?

Ok Sophie, I’ve thought about it, and while I can’t in good conscience name the kid Sophie Junior..

-YOU FUCKING WHAT.

..it’s just a lot of pressure for a poor infant to carry your iconic name!

-True, how could he ever live up to that..

He couldn’t! But I came up with the following compromise: we will name him Fernando and add Sophito as a middle name in your honor.

-Alright, so his name is Sophito!

No, it’s Fernando.

-Wanna bet?

Meanwhile Cyn is out in the snow, still trying to get ProbablyJeff to fall in love with her so we can ignore him forever..

-My cuck senses are tingling.

Goddammit Don, go back to bed!

Nevermind, wake up, Don, it’s time!!! 

PJ: Wow, finally I see the famous Night Snow Wild Parrot in the flesh! The guys will never believe this.

It’s another boy! He has Don’s exact coloring, let’s hope that’s where the similarities end. 

-Aww, I will name you after the most important thing in my life!🌸

You have important things in your life?

-Of course I do! Sugar, my voodoo doll!💗 

You’re gonna name your baby.. after a voodoo doll..

-I don’t see why not!🌸

Alright then! Welcome to the world, Sophito and Sugar!

JACK DO ARE YOU STILL HERE. DID YOU JUST SHOW UP. WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM. I CAN’T WITH THIS GUY

So I check inside and see that Sophie has dumped Sophito on the kitchen floor and I’m like oh great, the proud Union tradition continues-

-but it turns out she only did that because she rushed outside to rescue Sugar from certain death since Cyn had dumped him UNDER 2 FEET OF SNOW AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PIC WHERE I’M HOVERING OVER HIM. I LITERALLY HAD TO GO INTO BUILD MODE JUST TO FIND OUT WHERE HE WAS SINCE BABIES AREN’T SELECTABLE. BRO.

-It’s ok little brat, I won’t let you die!

SOPHIE <333333333 More like Sophtie huhu! I wasn’t kidding about the parenting this generation, we’ve really outdone ourselves.

-Ah, motherhood sure is great! I’m a hot young mom now and when I’m older I’ll be a MILF! People are so right, life really doesn’t begin until you have a baby💗 

The arrival of generation 4 perfectly coincides with our day-old robot running amok and breaking down, so the omens around here truly can’t get any better.

-Oh ya, enjoy your new fucking family! The family I’ll never have because you KILLED ME

Sandy Fairchild no offense but we literally just almost killed our newborn, like we’re gonna give a crap about you. 

[corrie-zodori]

Spamton brainrot reminiscing time because why tf not By all accounts of logic, Spamton should not have appealed to me in the slightest but idk, I think my highkey "monster/weird character appreciator" side of me became endeared to his bizarreness after a while and on top of him being tragic on top of everything else, I really attached to him!

He's just a sad lil dude and the backstory he's got is REAL good, despite being a "secret boss" with a bit more limited interaction than a main char. Like, he makes you want to befriend him and give him that good end he was cheated out of. Even if he is a shady, morally grey salesman, I think it was really cool for him to turn around and show some kind of regret for his actions and even turn into your ally. I hope we get to see him again in the future alongside the other "secret bosses"! Like I deadass went from "Holy shit you're terrifying/uncanny valley and idk how to feel about that" to absolutely head over heels endeared to him within like 4 days of beating the game. I did NOT anticipate liking him as much as I did, let alone becoming attached so strongly to him. Not 100% sure what it is! But I just let it happen LMAO I love seeing people's takes on him sm. he is just a glitchy dumpster manlet. And Neo? Cool af, definitely appeals to my "manic monster chars" and bonus points for being an unhinged robot, I've got a soft spot for these things in general and I think that's hella cool. He's fun as hell to draw, he's got the best music in the game, 10/10 Toby. Dunno how tf you did it but I have to wonder if he anticipated Spamton being as widely highly regarded as he is. Spamton appreciation ramble over/

[frenchie-sottises]

So, I got my own copy of Elite Dangerous..

and it was a ride.

Yes, all the puns intended.

God, where do I even start?

First off, you do go through a tutorial of the basics of flight maneuvers and fighting. I managed to do this, but my brother eventually had to help me with the last drone, one that fights back. Apparently, I didn’t know that you can target your enemy and guarantee your shots to hit. I have yet to learn to master this.

I slowly mastered which buttons go to where.

I realized that I can do missions for a while and build my credits.

Speaking of missions, I had to go back to Aldrich Station in the Otegine system around 3 times cause I had to force it in my head that you have to confirm the load for it to be in your cargo hatch. I thought accepting the mission meant it would just be auto loaded.

Speaking of loads, mine can only hold a max of 2 units. I already know this, but I forgot.

Tfw, Frenchie, somehow, found herself in Deep Space.

Tfw, Frenchie almost ran out of fuel.

TFW, FRENCHIE ALMOST GOT HERSELF KILLED BY ONE OF OTEGINE’S STARS.

No, I didn’t get almost killed cause I didn’t pull the throttle back when I was in hyper jump. I generally thought I was far away enough from the star to make it back to Aldrich Station. I’ve learned that when you do hyper jump in front of a star, which I’m pretty sure is almost 95% of the time unless you’re going to a mining area, to just pull the ship up where it feels like it’s vertical with the star and just kick up the throttle for a good 10-20 seconds. It’s either that or watch your temperature go down to around 40-35% before you make your next move.

I didn’t know how to turn off my ship’s auto landing option, so when I went to land in Mawson Dock in the Dromi system, there was this ship, which was obviously bigger than me, glitching out and was stuck in the entrance in a diagonal position. My ship.. MY. FREAKING. SHIP. DECIDED THAT NOTHING WAS THERE AND I CRASHED INTO THE ONE THAT WAS STUCK. I realized that I can take back control and I swear I was freaking launched back out the entrance. How I never took damage from that, I will never know.

As a result, my auto docking has been turned off.

I did a total of three missions last night. All dealt with the same dude.

Some of the missions said they were expired, but then there was another one just like it and I was accepted to do those. Two of my missions where the same exact thing for the same amount of credits.

I forgot the load once again on one of them, but I was in the process of leaving the station, so I managed to turn around and go back in.

* A small tip for those who start out and decided to turn off the auto docking feature, go in front of the entrance of the station you need to get into. These stations do move. The ones I’ve gone to rotate, so I can just sit in front of it. (I have yet to run into one that turns away from the ship.) Once you ask for docking permission, it’s much easier to get in. I know they give you like, 10 minutes for you to dock, but the way I do it cuts that down considerably.

* Another tip, always check to see if the load you came to pick up is there in your cargo hatch before you even launch off the pad.

Remember when I said that one guy was glitching out? Yeah, it wasn’t just him. Pretty much all the A.I. in this game were glitchy af when it came to entering and leaving the stations. I don’t know why.

One last thing, this isn’t the first time I’ve played this game. My brother got it and I was interested and played on it a few times. This is the first time owning my own copy, tho.

1: @bipolarmolarfanfiction​ hello friend! so, i don’t use the UC, my version of the game is the double deluxe version + all eps/sps and i’ve been using that for years with minimal issue (i say minimal rather than none cuz no version of ts2 is without issues). aaand i just installed windows 10 for the first time ever yesterday so i don’t know my way around the os at all yet. having said that, there are couple general problems that may be at work:

graphics rules: with newer systems and whatnot it’s downright necessary to have this installed with yr graphics card added to the list.

memory: yr computer might be struggling cuz win10 is the memory-hoggingest buttface, and playing an older game on top of that can make yr computer flip out. there are a bunch of tutorials on getting win10 to run less unnecessary shit behind the scenes and doing so might help improve the game’s performance.

processor: so, this was always more of an issue w/ games like diablo on wife’s old laptop, but when we were looking for a solution we found out that certain older games have trouble using all yr processor cores cuz they were made before that was even a thing, and get confused af by several cores. u could try setting yr computer to utilize less cores and it might improve gameplay! maybe! it’s not a guaranteed fix, more of a diagnostic tool, and u have to restart yr computer when u do it, but it’s something to try. here’s how u would go about doing so.

ok ignore what i said up there, here’s a much easier way of dealing with that problem.

general game performance improvements: back when i was gaming on a laptop, i used a lot of hialgo’s performance boosting applications to help with gameplay. they’re worth a try!

if none of that works, or u would just rather not deal with the UC’s extra glitchiness, lemme know and i can show you where u can get the more stable double deluxe version of the game.

2: hey anon! azaya and i actually got verdant skies in a recent steam sale! we’ve just been too hyperfocused on don’t starve together to play it just yet. but yeah i’m stoked to give it a try for the reasons u listed. and thank u for thinking of me!! you guys are always recommending such awesome games w/ lots of representation and the opportunity to avoid the “NOW CHOOSE A BINARY GENDER BEFORE U CAN MAKE YR CHARACTER” bs that is in sooo many games. it’s super sweet and i truly appreciate it so much. :))

3: ty so much anon, it’s so sweet of u to check in on me! and i hope you are feeling as well as you possibly can and getting the care that u need and deserve! i love lolling around in bed but, like, on my own terms!! being stuck in bed is the pits and i totally empathize.

my health has been ........ interesting. my hematologist wants me tested for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, and because my insurance company refused the testing, i had to change providers and find all new doctors for almost everything. my physical therapist, urologist and ophthalmologist think my tendency to sublux my joints at the drop of a hat, the ongoing battle with interstitial cystitis, and the fact that my immune system keeps trying to murder my eyeballs all points toward hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome. recent blood tests proved that my hla-b27 antigen is fucky, so i’m finally going to see a rheumatologist who specializes in eds, rather than my previous one who was like “lol idk, have some pain meds and get outta my office“ so, like, fingers crossed!!
