NCT Legacy Challenge

Inspired by lilsimsie and alwaysimming's not-so-berry challenge and sims-himbo's Barbie Legacy Challenge, I give you the K-pop collaboration idea that comes from combining the large numbered group NCT and our beloved Sims 4 Legacy gameplay.

Make sure to use the hashtag #NCTLegacyChallenge, so I can catch a glimpse of what you're making on various social media platforms and in the gallery.

Still unfinished (NCT WIsh members are to follow)

For easier access, here is the link for the Google Docs of the challenge

Welcome! To the 26 generations of a legacy challenge inspired by the 26 members of NCT!

Here are some of the basic rules of the challenge:

Play on short lifespan this is to make sure that we get through all 26 generations of this let’s play.

But if you want to play on normal life span please refer to the normal life span rules

This legacy is patriarchal, meaning only male sims can be the heirs of this let’s play.

The firstborn son would be the recognized heir.

All skills and careers should reach level 7

Unless stated otherwise

All aspirations must finish the third level

Unless stated otherwise.

All generations should start with 2,500 Simoleons

Unless they are set to inherit the previous sim’s wealth.

Auto aging should be on even for townies.

You may opt to, but are not required to:

Edit your sims to look like the NCT members

Edit their names to be the same as the generation

Live in different lots per generation (if moving is not a requirement)

Follow with mid life crisis situation and change paths as long as you've reached the level 7 of your career.

Before we continue, I want to apologize with the fact that I used a lot of packs for this legacy challenge.

This legacy is still unfinished, the last six members (all from NCT Wish) have yet to updated as they've only debuted and I need to get to know them better so I can plot out what their generation would have and need to complete.

Also, this challenge doesn't reflect real life personalities of the members. It is simply inspired by SOME aspects of their personalities and what they show to us as idols. I also do not own NCT, nor is this challenge affiliated with them.

If you're a simmer, who happens to want a little more legacy challenges to play with and is not familiar with NCT please feel free to follow through with the legacy challenge and use the hashtags #NCTLegacyChallenge in all platforms (including the Gallery)

INFJ | Leo

Your father made sure to spoil you, but you were never truly attached to your physical things instead you have always wandered around in your mind.

ENFP | Leo

As seen by your ancestors, a popular father has always had its downfall, but to you, it was no disadvantage at all.

Every time you take a shower you have to sing in the shower.

Just like your father you have a bad habit of posing in front of the paparazzi

Your spouse must have celebrity status as well.

ENTP | Libra

You lived under all the spotlight. It was exhausting! Constant cameras in your face and your parents were just as obsessed with fame as everyone was obsessed with your parents. So all you could really think about was moving out as soon as you could– and as far away from your parents as possible. What better way to run away from people than to constantly work from home– but that only seems too hard for an extrovert like you.

traits: outgoing, cheerful, lactose intolerant

aspiration: neighborhood confidant

career: freelance -- programming

skills to lvl 7: video gaming, handiness

additional requirements:

Finish the aspiration

Give your neighbors (all those in the neighborhood) crafted items from the woodworking bench.

Upgrade one of your toilets to have a composting container.

CUTE | Aries

You lived in a town of romance. Surrounded by several beautiful things in your life. It doesn’t really come as a surprise that you turned into a romantic. You adored watching sunsets and were a lot more drawn to the ocean than normal. So, it doesn’t come as a surprise that you want to give back to the ocean and make sure it’s in perfect condition.

aspiration: beach life

Dimensity 7300 : Unbelievable Speed and Power Unleashed

MediaTek launched the 4nm Dimensity 7300 and Dimensity 7300X high-end mobile device processors today. Best-in-class power economy and performance make Dimensity 7300 chipsets ideal for AI-enhanced computing, faster gaming, better photography, and effortless multitasking. Dimensity 7300X supports twin displays for flip-style foldable devices.

Both MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipsets have 2.5GHz octa-core CPUs with 4X Arm Cortex-A78 and A55 cores. 4nm reduces A78 core power consumption by 25% over Dimensity 7050. To speed up gaming, the CPU combines the most recent Arm Mali-G615 GPU with a number of MediaTek HyperEngine optimisations. The Dimensity 7300 series provides 20% quicker FPS and 20% more energy efficiency than competing options. The new chips optimise 5G and Wi-Fi game connections, use clever resource optimisation, support Dual-Link True Wireless Stereo Audio and Bluetooth LE Audio technology to significantly improve gaming experiences.

According to MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business Deputy General Manager Dr. According to Yenchi Lee, “The MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chips will help integrate the newest AI and connectivity technologies consumers can stream and game seamlessly. “Furthermore, the dual display capability of the Dimensity 7300X allows OEMs to create creative new form factors.”

With compatibility for a 200MP primary camera and a premium-grade 12-bit HDR-ISP, the MediaTek Imagiq 950 is another enhanced photographic feature available with the Dimensity 7300 chipsets. New hardware engines provide accurate noise reduction (MCNR), face detection (HWFD), and video HDR in the Dimensity 7300. This allows users to take beautiful pictures and videos in any kind of lighting. Compared to the Dimensity 7050, live focus and photo remastering are 1.3X and 1.5X faster, respectively. In addition, 4K HDR video may be recorded with a dynamic range that is more than 50% broader than competing solutions, allowing users to capture more detail in their recordings.

The MediaTek APU 655 doubles the performance of the Dimensity 7050 while also greatly increasing the efficiency of AI tasks. Also, in order to reduce memory requirements for larger AI models and more effectively use memory bandwidth, the Dimensity 7300 chips support new mixed precision data types.

The Dimensity 7300 SoCs enable global HDR standards and remarkably detailed WFHD+ displays with 10-bit true colour thanks to MediaTek’s built-in MiraVision 955. This improves media streaming and playing. Additionally, OEMs find it simpler to satisfy the expanding market demand for cutting-edge form factors thanks to the Dimensity 7300X’s specialised support for dual display flip phones.

Dimensity 7300 and Dimensity 7300X important features

With MediaTek’s own optimisations and a full suite of R16 power-saving advancements, MediaTek 5G UltraSave 3.0+ technology offers 13–30% more power efficiency than competing options in typical 5G sub-6GHz connectivity settings.

Supporting 3CC carrier aggregation up to 3.27Gb/s 5G downstream speed, which enables better downlink rates in suburban and urban settings.

Support for multi-band Wi-Fi 6E allows for dependable and quick multi-gigabit wireless access.

Users will have more options with dual 5G SIM capability and dual VoNR.

This was addressed by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300 series in May 2024. The Dimensity 7300 and 7300X chipset series boosts high-end to smartphone and foldable device performance, energy efficiency, and AI.

Constructed for Rapidity and Effectiveness

A powerful octa-core CPU powers the Dimensity 7300. This combo is ideal for gaming and multitasking with four 2.5 GHz Arm Cortex-A78 cores. Four Arm Cortex-A55 cores, which are energy-efficient, complement these and guarantee dependable performance for daily use. In comparison to the Dimensity 7050, this combination represents a major advancement.

The advanced 4nm manufacturing process is a feature of the 7300 series. This corresponds to a 25% decrease in power usage over the 6nm technique utilised in earlier generations. Users will benefit from longer battery life as a result, while manufacturers can create sleeker devices without compromising functionality.

Superpower in Graphics

Immersive mobile experiences require strong visuals. The Dimensity 7300 has an Arm Mali-G615 GPU to fix this. This graphics processor runs even the most demanding games smoothly, and MediaTek’s HyperEngine technology stabilises the network and efficiently manages resources. MediaTek says the 7300 series is appealing to mobile gamers due to its 20% higher frame rates (FPS) and energy economy.

AI Gains Strength

AI is increasingly changing the smartphone experience, enabling intelligent assistants, better photography, and facial recognition. The Dimensity 7300 uses the MediaTek APU 655, following this trend. This AI processing unit doubles the efficiency of the Dimensity 7050, resulting in a notable performance boost. New mixed precision data types, which enable more effective memory bandwidth utilisation and lower memory requirements for larger AI models, are also supported by the 7300 series. Future smartphones will be able to incorporate even more advanced AI features thanks to this.

Gorgeous Images

For a fascinating mobile experience, a stunning display is essential; a strong processor is only half the story. This demand is met by the Dimensity 7300 series, which supports powerful screens. With the ability to support WFHD+ resolutions at frame rates of up to 120 Hz, these chipsets guarantee fluid and visually spectacular images. For an even smoother user experience, the 7300 series also supports Full HD+ screens at an even higher refresh rate of 144Hz.

Concentrate on Take Pictures

Users now place a greater value on mobile photography, and the Dimensity 7300 series delivers. The chip has MediaTek’s Imagiq 950 image signal processor (ISP), which provides sophisticated photographic features. With the 12-bit HDR pipeline supported by this ISP, detailed information and brilliant colours may be captured. Furthermore, the Imagiq 950 enables features like video HDR, face detection, and precise noise reduction, guaranteeing beautiful images and movies in a range of lighting scenarios. The 7300 series stands out for its ability to enable dual simultaneous video capture, which allows for the development of more imaginative content.

A Set of Chips for Foldables

A 7300 variation called the Dimensity 7300X goes one step farther by being designed with foldable cellphones in mind. One essential component of these cutting-edge gadgets is dual display compatibility, which this chipset provides. Manufacturers may design foldable phones with seamless experiences on both the cover and main displays thanks to the 7300X.

Mobile’s Future

Mobile processing power has advanced significantly with the release of the Dimensity 7300 series. This chipset family, with its emphasis on efficiency, performance, AI capabilities, and support for cutting-edge technologies like foldable devices and high refresh rate screens, is positioned to have a significant impact on the direction of mobile technology.

Helldivers 2 (PC)

This post comes about a week after launch, for what it's worth, in case post-launch support happens to go down foul roads (more likely due to Sony's influence)

Having dumped 28 hours into it, my biggest impressions are that Sony did Helldivers 2 fucking dirty with their advertising, it was granted justice in spite of that (1 million shifted in a hyper-busy window!) and it is a marked example (though not a perfect one!) of how to do right what all the recent live service failures do wrong

The "dual-track" battle pass-esque unlock system (one behind premium currency, of course) existing is shit, and the lack of offline play is a reminder that it will in time vanish and die, which is agonising because it's really good (especially as Helldivers 1 has offline!). But, I got the premium stuff unlocked from the stuff doled out for free within a week of normal play, so it manages its disease well. On top of the clusters of premium currency in the normal unlock pile, small pockets of it can be found in missions with no 'session limit'; if there is one, it's quite generous.

Where Helldivers 2 stands out is a mix of the good ol' Helldivers 1 "Verhoeven's Starship Troopers but we're leaning in even harder" comedy taken a bit further again, and being an actually good game. Unlike Sony's other first-party shite it's comfortable in its skin as a game and provides ample challenge with engaging mechanics, and unlike the glut of service games it's not a spreadsheet misery propagator coated head-to-toe in pointless numbers and percentages, and has actual mechanics with actual design intent behind them. It is a third-person shooter by considered choice, not because that's The Template.

On the one hand, it has comedic ragdoll physics and will send your body hurtling whenever it can, and it will also chuck around enemy bodies and make them hilariously flop in from on high after big explosions completely naturally. On the other, Helldivers 2's actual mechanics are actually a bit complex and brush up against simulator territory at times; guns in particular, for example, hit military-sim with realistic ranges and behaviours (shotguns will still hit and kill targets at 10s of metres out, ranges most others would consider sniper ranges; guns that reload by loading rounds can be fired mid-reload process, etc), you have to hold a button to check your exact ammo count as it's not on the UI, there's burst/full auto/semi-auto firing modes and adjustable scopes with a first-person view, and reloading dispenses of any unused ammo still in the mag you're discarding. It's an interesting contrast that really works, and the willingness to use such mechanics gives Helldivers 2 a real sense of character, as well as making it just plain fun and engaging unlike shite like Warner Bros' recent slop.

It's super fucking fun, alone or with friends, it perfectly continues Helldivers' special brand of chaos with its cavalier attitudes towards resources, death and players and willingness to let things spiral hard. And that's something Helldivers makes great use of: the chaotic spiral, that element some would call "emergent gameplay".

And it launched at £35 new, day 1 on PC alongside the console release, with proper cross-platform play! Not £70 with a £30 Season Pass and £15 Battle Pass on PS5 only with PC a year later on the Epic Game Store only! Miracle of miracles!

Samsung vs Apple: Why Samsung is Better than Apple

The world of smartphones is dominated by two major players: Samsung and Apple. Both companies produce high-quality devices with cutting-edge features, but they cater to different user preferences. This blog explores why some users favor Samsung phones over Apple's iPhones.

It's important to note that before diving into the world of repairing these complex devices, consider a mobile repairing institute in Delhi like Hi-Tech Institute, an ISO and MSME certified institute with over 20 years of experience, can equip you with the skills to diagnose and repair both Samsung and Apple devices! Now, let's delve into the reasons why some users choose Samsung:

1. Android vs iOS: Openness and Customization

A key difference lies in the operating system. Samsung phones run on Android, an open-source platform that allows for greater customization. Android users can personalize their phones extensively, from launchers and themes to widgets and icon packs. This level of control appeals to users who enjoy tailoring their devices to their specific needs and preferences.

2. Hardware Innovation: Pushing the Boundaries

Samsung is known for its constant innovation in hardware. They've been at the forefront of features like foldable displays, high refresh rate screens, powerful processors, and multiple rear cameras. For users who prioritize cutting-edge technology and features, Samsung phones can be a compelling choice.

3. Wider Price Range: Options for Every Budget

Samsung offers a wider range of smartphones at various price points. This caters to users with different budgets. From the high-end Galaxy S series to the budget-friendly Galaxy A series, there's a Samsung phone for everyone. In contrast, Apple's iPhones tend to be positioned in the premium segment.

4. Expandable Storage: Avoiding Storage Woes

Many Samsung phones offer expandable storage via microSD cards. This allows users to easily increase storage capacity without having to upgrade their entire phone when they run out of space. For users who store a lot of photos, videos, or music on their phones, this flexibility is a major advantage.

5. Dual SIM Functionality: Staying Connected with Multiple Numbers

A feature often found in Samsung phones is dual SIM functionality. This allows users to have two separate phone numbers active on one device. This is particularly convenient for users who need to keep their personal and professional lives separate, or for those who travel frequently and want to use a local SIM card.

6. Headphone Jack: A Reliable Classic

While Apple removed the headphone jack from its iPhones several years ago, Samsung has continued to include it in most of its phones. This is a plus for users who still prefer wired headphones for listening to music or making calls.

7. Fast Charging Technology: Power Up Quickly

Samsung's fast charging technology allows users to recharge their phones quickly and efficiently. This is a major advantage for users who are on the go and need to get their phone back up and running quickly.

8. Integration with Samsung Ecosystem: A Connected Experience

For users who own other Samsung products like tablets, smartwatches, and laptops, Samsung phones offer a seamless integration experience. Users can easily connect their devices and share data or control them from one another.

The Final Word

The choice between Samsung and Apple ultimately comes down to personal preference. If you prioritize an open and customizable Android experience, cutting-edge hardware features, and a wider price range, Samsung might be the better fit for you. However, if you value a premium build quality, a user-friendly closed ecosystem, and seamless integration with Apple products, iPhones might be your preference. Regardless of your choice, remember that a mobile repairing course in Delhi from a reputable institute like Hi-Tech Institute can equip you with the skills to troubleshoot and repair both Samsung and Apple devices, opening doors to exciting career opportunities in the mobile repair industry.

hello! i'm planning on trying for g-rosso s4 in march, and i would just like to ask more about your guide post for ticketing, about buying through a proxy and bypassing jp phone number verification? how would that work?

thank you for your help 😭

Proxy

This is very regional-dependent: I just search for "japan proxy" on facebook (more reliable than instagram because old people website), check their history and look for "ticketing" in the description (filter those that only buy goods or just personal travellers with no on-site agents).

You give them the show's information and they'll give you a quotation. If you agree with the price, make a deposit and they'll proceed with the lottery and refund if it fails. Some companies take a service charge regardless if the lottery succeeds.

My proxy mentioned eplus's lottery ticket will have the buyer's name printed. The G-rosso I remember is not that strict with checking ids, so I'm not too worried. More after my visit.

You'll need a prxoy if you buy through eplus (= online ticketing sites) whether or not you're joining the lottery. I used a proxy that handled everything, but there's also proxies that only handle the phone verification part. You get to register an account with your own name.

Phone verification: Echoing other posts: You need to make a call to eplus's number. Other people suggested using an 050 IP Phone or buying a Japanese SIM card from Hanacell or Mobal. But IP phones might be banned and the SIM cards only work within Japan so I'm not sure how it works either...

Redeeming the ticket: Remind the proxy to choose "pick-up at convenience store" instead of delievery, either Family Mart or 7-11 is fine. Eplus will send you a redemption code via email two weeks before the show and you can print the ticket from the convenience store machine once you land in Japan.

edit: I just realize the whole exchange happened online unlike actual goods that need to be shipped, so maybe it's not as region-specific as I thought...

Experience with S3:

Lottery: You will only be considered for one showing and you have up to three choices. You can't pick the seats, so just pick out the date and time.

Pretty much everyone on my twitter tl (jp fans) failed the Premium round, but managed to score in the General round. We reckoned it was simply because there are just too few Premium seats (38 x 3 rows = 114 seats). Some General seats are still available as of today, except the first and final showing.

The consideration of whether you MUST need the first 3 rows or you're fine sitting a bit back in the first block: If Row A-C is a must, I'd choose a less popular date and time. Not the first or final showing and Satuday rather than Sunday. For S4, I'm kinda debating if I should even bother because of the odds would be even greater now the Jeramie fans are in the race too. Though, S4 has 16 days and S3 only 9 days. I could only speculate how eplus's lottery system works and there'd be different stats maths based on that with ticket types but i digress

twitter tickets: I don't see anyone reselling Premium seats in the first week, but listings from the general round showed up at an average rate. I am seeing S3's last weekend, so the general sale opens before my weekend's seating reveal, so I grab a ticket just to be safely seated more upfront than general sale. I am cheap and waiting for last-minute (and premium) resells after the redemption date and closer to the show.

same-day tickets: The website states there will be no same-day free-seating tickets. I suppose they mean there will be no discount, but if seats are available, you should be able to buy one from the convenience store or ask the staff. I'll confirm this on-site.

three rounds of tickets:

Permium lottery

General lottery

General sale

(ticket redemption date: 2 weeks before showing)

Schedule for Feb & March:

#Anon Are you're aiming at the interchange week of Mar 17/24 with Kingoh S4 and Boonboom S1?!#keep in mind I live in Hong Kong so this is regional #I mostly reference blogs of Taiwan idol fans but #i've been very 'just go with the flow' the whole time actually #shugod... to watch G-rosso same day after Kingoh's finale... lucky brats...#kingohger #g rosso #moffsages #2401040945 #long post

2023's Bigミュージカル『刀剣乱舞』 Ticket War Part 1 : Why it's harder to get tickets

Story time no one cares about

Back in 2018 i had the chance to watch toumyu live in paris. 5years later i am trying to go to tokyo see toumyu again and i'm bringing you with me on the quest to get tickets !

In order to avoid creating messes of taylor swift proportions or worse every stage that has more demand than tickets available for sure you have to enter a lottery to have the right to buy one or 2 tickets.

And then you remember you are not in japan.

Up until now, very understandable and quite clever but japan has to be japan. You have rules and prerequisites that keep foreigners out.

For every account creation , you will have to enter a japanese real adress :

-> you totally can use your tenso adress for that (it's a japanese PO box/shipping service)

You will have to fill a phone number. it needs to be japanese issued number starting 070, 080 or 090. In order to recieve the activation code via SMS you will need to have a real one.

->The easiest service for forgeigners in japan is mobal but the sim card works only in japan. If you're like you will need a friend in japan to lend you their phone number and tell you the sms they recieve whitin the proper timeframe.

for a lawson account you have to fill in in order :

your name then name again in katakana

your postal code

your prefecture and adress

phone number

gender

date of birth

And Because you are here as a fan you will pay if you really want a chance at getting tickets. There are a bunch of lotteries, first for the different premium fanclubs and then whatever remains get to the general sale or lottery.

For toumyu we will have a maximum of 7 fanclub lotteries a premium lottery and the general sale

Fanclub Lottery list :

the first fanclub lottery and the only done over is the Official site Premium Fanclub lottery that accepted entries from 2/28 12:00 to 3/6 23:59

the next one will be the pre-order bonus for the Soundtrack album of Toumyu's Kosui. The cd will contain a code and a link to the lottery site for application.

it will look a little like that.

the lottery will accept entries from march 14th to 19th.

We can expect actor's fanclub to start lotteries from the 22nd of march to around the 28th like the one that has already been announced for naoki kunishima's upcoming fanclub

i will keep this tumblr updated when we will have more fanclub announces

and finally the elusive internationnal lottery, that i wished was more frequent

Notable warnings

As usual no fanclub is free, generally around 500yen a month it can be higher or require to get a yearly subcription in order to be able to enter.

most fanclubs accept foreign cards no problem.

the official rules prevent fans to get several accounts on every paying service to try to get tickets but there are a lot of multi account users out there

"General" Lottery list :

The general lottery also called Lawson ticket pre-request lottery is the last one, the only free of charge to enter

accepting entires from 2023/3/31 12:00 to the 4/4 23:59

On the same site just before there will be an LEncore advance lottery for paying members of that service

Accepting entries from 2023/3/28 12:00 to 3/30 23:59

And then if you have the luck to get through this you have the paying problem !

but to pay on lawson tickets you will have only 2 options :

the Jp credit card that is very hard to obtain

or paying in the conbini.

i will do a complete conbini payment guide later but in summary you have to send someone, in japan, pay in the family mart within 3 to 5 days of selection !

getting a ticket feels like :

upcoming on part 2 first lottery results, general ticket choice for toumyu advices and a few horror stories around getting tickets

Dreamlight Valley - Simba and Nala return - New features that made me return too.

In case anyone hasn’t seen or heard yet, Dreamlight Valley is a life-sim type game with a Disney theme that is still in early access. Players that love the various Disney universes can play to interact with some of their favorite characters (both good and evil) as well as build a village for them to live in. Overall it’s a fun game, but with the game still being in early access there were some issues early on that made the gameplay less enjoyable depending on your in-game prerogative and there were features missing that felt like they should be inherent in the game. Personally I had stepped away from the game a little bit more up until recently between some features that felt like they were missing, other game releases, and real life stresses. With all that in mind, having also started playing again recently with the release of the Pride of the Valley update, I can say it is well worth the return for anyone who may have stepped away or for anyone who has yet to try the game to pick it up. Gameloft has done their best to keep up with bug fixes as they are needed, have been good about adding in new content for the game fairly consistently, and with some of their most recent updates they added in many quality of life features that make the game feel a little more enjoyable to play.

One feature that players may have found lackluster with the initial release of Dreamlight Valley was the storage system. The game features many crafting items and cooking recipes that require multiple smaller components to make. As there are tons of these crafting items and cooking recipes, you can imagine that the amount of smaller components that you have to collect for them can add up quickly. With that in mind, the initial release of Dreamlight Valley to early access had players using a craft-able basic chest with about 24 slots to store items, as well as a one chest that you were able to store a few more items in. While you were able to make multiple of the former chests, having enough of them to store all the items you needed to was often the equivalent of having a room lined with chests, and still needing more space for storage. The number of items could also be difficult to sort, as there was no way to auto sort, everything had to be moved from your inventory to the chest manually. While most people were able to get creative with storage and organization options, it could make for multiple hectic looking rooms that are less than ideal to traverse.

With the Festival of Friendship update in February 2023 though, the storage issues that were plaguing many players were fixed with some changes to the storage system. There were other levels of craftable chests added in so that there can be more space in any chest you craft. While there are more components needed for these, the extra slots are really worth it. There were also customizable signposts added in, so that you no longer need to display stored items above the chests that they are in, making for less confusing clutter laying around. Lastly, there was a quality of life feature added in, via an auto-sorting system. Now instead of having to manually move items from your inventory to a chest you can simply click a button and anything in your inventory that could be stored in an existing stack within the chest will be moved. This is truly a time saver and makes sorting your inventory leagues easier.

With the Festival of Friendship update we also saw the introduction of the Premium Shop, which allows players to buy items for moonstones, an in-game currency generally used on unlocking items in the current Star Path within the game. This allows players to use any moonstones that they may have extra on items that they can use and can net some interesting items that would be otherwise unavailable. With the Premium Shop we also got new ways that we can customize our houses. There are now new house colors available and premium house skins that can be purchased, so that you can make your house look just like you imagine it.

One of the other most beneficial features added in with the Festival of Friendship update would arguably be the Role Change Manual. For anyone who has yet to try the game, each character that moves to your valley is assigned a role. The roles range from gardening to mining and there are benefits to having a villager with a corresponding role with you when completing a task. For example, with a villager in the gardening role with you while picking crops you will get additional of those crops. The number of the extra, or additional, crops you get actually increases based on the number of villagers in the role and their friendship level with you. Being able to update the roles of your villagers can definitely be a game changer if you need to be able to get more items from a specific task and don’t have anyone new to assign a role. This is also really helpful for anyone who may not have thought about who was assigned to what role initially and wants to be able to assign anyone differently.

Lastly with the Festival of Friendship update we also got new story missions to progress through as well as two new villagers to welcome to the valley, Olaf and Mirabel.

We also got the Pride of the Valley update in April 2023 and with it even more updates to quality of life features within the game and new content. To touch on new content, in case we haven’t already given it away we get two new characters to welcome to the valley in Simba and Nala. To get them you’ll go through a newly accessible door in the castle and you’ll have to help them with some quests there before Nala will join you in the valley. Simba will follow not long after her, once he is certain that he’s leaving Pride Rock better than it was with some more assistance, and become another familiar face in the valley. They each have fun new quests to complete for them as you progress your friendship with them and unique new items you can unlock with each new level of friendship.

In terms of new features with the Pride of the Valley update, we got some new ones that really make life easier. One thing anyone who played the game for any time before may have noticed is that you couldn’t really run particularly fast around your valley. While the teleport system helps with time in getting from one place to another, it can still be a pain to run from one end of a biome to another to catch someone you need to speak with or to locate something within the biomes. However, with the most recent update you can actually sprint in the game, and it definitely makes any searching or running around the valley you may need to do faster. While your energy bar is yellow, to indicate that you have the well fed buff , you can activate the sprint option. In person it appears more like a glide or skate than a sprint, but it lets you move around much faster, and is honestly just kind of fun to play around with when you first start using it. There was also an addition to the ways you can refill your energy bar, in case you don’t want to use all your food ingredients. As of the Pride of the Valley update you can refill your energy bar, albeit slowly, by sitting on furniture when you are outside of your house in the village. While you generally need to eat a cooked food item to have the well fed buff, being able to sit to refill your energy bar may come in handy if you don’t have a cooked item on you and you need a boost of energy to complete a task.

Not to be forgotten, our furry companions in the valley also got some love in the most recent update. Up until the most recent update each player was able to have one animal companion that follows them around the valley. You can in theory have any of the animals you see running around the biomes in the valley as a companion once you have fed them their favorite food enough times. With all those choices though, it felt a little limiting that you couldn’t interact with them more than petting them and could only have one out at a time. With the most recent update however, we can have more companions than ever out and we can actually make items for them to be able to play with. There is now a companion house that you can craft that will allow you to choose up to four companions to have out at one time. It looks like a standard dog house, and it fits well with some of our other new items. We can now also craft a companion ball, a companion pinwheel, a companion food bowl and a companion perch. These four items are able to be interacted with by your companions and you can watch as they play and run around. It’s also worth noting that you cannot select an animal that you already have following you as a companion for the house, as they will still be out and trailing you, so you can have up to five companions in total out and about.

All of the new content and quality of life features that have been introduced with the last two updates make a good case, in my opinion, for picking the game up if you haven’t, or returning if you’ve stepped away from it. One last thing that is worth mentioning, is that we can hopefully expect more player input to be acted on for new features and items. All of the new features that we’ve talked about here with the Pride of the Valley update and many prior have been community driven changes, meaning that Gameloft is taking the input of players to help make this game enjoyable all around before it comes out of early access. With Dreamlight Valley leaving early access sometime in 2023 this may be the best time to jump in if you want your input to count the most towards upcoming content/features and enjoy some of the new features that make it more enjoyable to play. More information on the bugs and other features of the updates mentioned here can be found on the Dreamlight Valley site.

Note

wait i’ve been dying to know for ages—does your username mean something?

Hi! So! Short answer: nope!

Long answer: also no, but...

I sort of inherited...absorbed...acquired the username "Krethes" when I was just a lil baby. Back in the early 00s, there was this magic horse raising sim game online (pet sims were the It thing back then) called Pony-Island (not to be confused with a current game named that).

I also played Furry-Paws, which was like raising and breeding show dogs of all kinds, competing, etc. Premium Currency on FP was like, hot shit, but also kinda expensive. Likewise, low-numbered accounts and certain breeds of horse on PI were also coveted. Baby Krethes was, well, a baby and unemployed, but, I had a plan!

Custom-made and -colored animal pics were also huge! You'd put them on your profiles (myspace, neopets, please I know I'm aging myself just bear with me lol), and it was just a "thing". You could sell these on FP for either the special currency or actual money. I didn't have PayPal, so I went the currency method. I also didn't have a tablet or a scanner, but I did have MS Paint. And a lot of patience.

Basically, I sold custom colored narwhals (yep) and dragons for the currency and made a decent sum!

So back to Pony-Island.

Someone wanted to leave the game and focus on FP, and I really wanted this specific horse they had and the low numbered account, so I traded the FP currency for their account.

Said account username was "Krethes".

I never saw the original Krethes on FP or anywhere else, and the name honestly just stuck. No one else had a name like it, so it was unique enough to use and not have to add numbers or something to it when registering for things.

I've gone by a few other names in smaller spaces, but "Krethes" is basically my only one these days. ❤️

So...there you have it!

And, in case you're wondering, it's pronounced: krEH-this (Kre like in "crevice" and "thes" like in "thespian", which I realize is a ymmv because of accents, lol.) But really, however you pronounce it is totally fine! It's made up, so the rules don't matter 🙃

#asks for krethes #wtf does my name even mean #story time!#yes I'm old #and a total fucking loser #:)

Jesse’s 2022 Game Review

PHowdy folks! With another year on the verge of collapse and the circus tent to be propped up a-new with a new coat of paint, it’s time to talk briefly about videos game. In the past, I made a list of my top 10 favorite games, diluted into my infamous prose heavy stylings. Not this year. Though you cannot force me away with many bars of corvid ownership from the act of getting flowery with dialogue, I’ll at least attempt terseness. Key word: attempt. Also, 5. 5′s a nice number and it’s less painful to write for.

As a quick reminder to all unfamiliar with my reviewing style: these are games that I’ve played this year that have left the largest impact on me. They aren’t games that came out this year (usually) and they aren’t games I played a lot of this year (though if they were, then DRG would be number 1). Usually I favor uniqueness and innovation over most other factors. Every game on this list is a banger and a half and gets my highest recommendation. With that squared away, let us begin.

Runners Up:

There were a LOT of great games that I played and honestly it becomes very difficult to rank games when all of them are just so damn good. So here’s a list of games in no particular order that really blew me away this year, but not enough to make the top 5.

Tropico 6

Satisfactory

Potionomics

Fight Knight

Disco Elysium

Dead Cells

The Forgotten City

5. Grounded

I play games with my boyfriend a lot. Usually, every day, if possible, we’ll sink a couple hours into our favorite multiplayer experiences. So I usually try to find us new experiences to enjoy to go alongside favorite staples. Grounded as a “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” survival sim oozing with style and at high recommendation from others, was one I knew would be a hit even before we played it. And then we played it. Well, he played it a lot more than I did, but, I still helped out a lot.

Truthfully, Grounded is as much an RPG as a Survival Sim as you gradually update and upgrade your gear to deal with increasing challenge in this tiny world. The combat system is robust, there’s always a new unique challenge ahead of you, and the bugs are as adorable as they are horrifying. I could sleep with the little noises Ladybugs make in this game. If someone has exported all the bug sounds from this game, hit me up.

4. Super Animal Royale

Like I said in the last game choice, my boyfriend and I play together a lot, so we look for fun multiplayer experiences. SAR was his choice, and one he picked up because free is always welcome. And yeah, SAR knocks it out of the park. Not only is the gameplay well balanced and a thrill to fight online in, but it also manages to create one of the rare Free To Play experiences where you really want to pay the devs money just to support their game.

Nothing gameplay-wise is locked behind a fee, everything you would spend real money on is cosmetic. Plus, if you did like cosmetics, it’s super easy to get enough premium currency by playing the game to afford one of their battlepasses. These passes don’t expire too! You can always go back and level older passes if cosmetics in one season stood out more than other ones. If you’re interested in a cute animal top down and haven’t given SAR a try yet, there’s really no better time than now.

3. Ultrakill

I listen to Ultrakill’s OST on and off when I need something higher energy while I work on complicated projects. Similarly, Ultrakill is the most stylish FPS with Quake graphics I’ve played/witnessed. It runs off rule of cool similarly to its direct inspiration - Devil May Cry. And it all plays so damn smooooooooth.

My boyfriend (don’t tire of me talking about him, we do games together A LOT) is considerably better at this game than I am and I feel like I judge some of my opinions over how much he plays a game. At writing, he has P ranked the entire game on all difficulties, and Cyber Grinds (endless mode) for the fun of it. He’s gotten to Wave 25 I think? I’ll need to check with him again sometime. Anyways, he’ll show me how P-2 looks since his ability is on a whole other level.

2. Yakuza 0

I finally dipped my toes into Yakuza this year and HOOOOOOLY SHIT I was unprepared for what would be a hell of an experience. As someone who has played through Kiwami and about a third of Kiami 2 (remakes of the first and second games), 0 is the absolute best way to hook someone on the series. As the title suggests, it’s a prologue introducing the back stories for the two main runners of Kiryu’s ongoing quest to be a positive influence in the lives of orphans and others. And live. An amazing soap opera thriller crime drama that hits incredible heights constantly throughout its running, silly grade-A side stories, a solid difficulty curve, and much much more.

And by starting with 0, you get the amazing build up to go with it. 0′s incredible story helps temper the lows of the Kiwami remake (which is still a good game, don’t get me wrong) so that you can bounce back into the amazing engine update utilized for Kiwami 2. It’s just a good-ass game people.

1. Super Mario Odyssey

If you told me last year that this was going to be my number one game, I’d call you crazy. As someone who doesn’t easily fall in love with AAA games, preferring indie titles, the idea that Super Mario Odyssey would be such a must-play would have been completely dismissed. But no, over so many many other games I played this year, Super Mario Odyssey is the clear superior. SMO runs on high moments, everything has been so well planned out and the world is big without being overwhelming. This. This felt like the natural evolution of what Mario 64 was. And if you’ve been noting how much I’ve gushed over this year for the last month, then it should come to no surprise that it’s here at the top of my list. Everything was planned and perfected with such clear purpose it’s perplexing.

When this game came out alongside A Hat in Time, I felt that Hat would be superior because it controlled in a way that I wished Mario did. With mid-air dive cancels, a really really fun world to explore, a funny story with great characters. It was only this year, three years later, that I found that Odyssey not only did all that, it did it better. (Well, the writing of Hat is better, but...)

Anyways, if you are interested in a Switch, Odyssey is worth getting a Switch for. Though, admittedly, more if you’re the kind of person who adores adventurous open worlds in a collect-a-thon platform setting.

This is what AAA gaming should be. Anything else pales.

Earning money through SMS services

Earning money through SMS services is a unique and lesser-known method of generating income online. While it may not be as popular as other methods like freelancing or content creation, it still holds potential for those who are willing to explore it. One of the primary ways to make money through text messages is by utilizing platforms that specialize in SMS marketing and monetization of SIM cards. In this article, we will delve into various methods of earning money through SMS and how companies like SMSARK can play a pivotal role in this niche.

How to Earn Money from Text Messages Online

Paid SMS Services

Some platforms offer users the opportunity to earn money simply by receiving or sending SMS messages. In such scenarios, users register on a platform, provide their phone number, and start receiving messages. These messages could be promotional offers, surveys, or even verification codes. For each message you receive or send, you get paid a small amount. Over time, these small payments can add up, providing a passive income stream.

2. Affiliate Marketing via SMS

Affiliate marketing is another popular way to monetize SMS. Users can send promotional messages with affiliate links to a target audience. When someone makes a purchase or signs up using the link sent in the SMS, the sender earns a commission. This strategy works best if you have access to a list of contacts that are interested in the products or services being promoted.

3. Subscription Services

Companies often offer premium SMS subscription services for entertainment, information, or special content delivery. For example, users may subscribe to daily news updates, horoscope readings, or motivational quotes. You can earn a share of the subscription fee by promoting and acquiring subscribers for such services. Once a person subscribes, you can continue earning as long as they remain a subscriber.

4. SIM Card Monetization

One of the most interesting ways to make money through SMS is by monetizing unused or extra SIM cards. Platforms like SMSARK offer services where you can rent out your SIM card’s messaging capabilities. The company uses these SIM cards to send and receive messages for various purposes, such as marketing campaigns or service notifications. This is a great way to earn passive income, especially if you have multiple SIM cards that are not being actively used.

SIM Card Monetization with SMSARK

SMSARK is a company that specializes in the monetization of SIM cards by allowing users to rent out their messaging capabilities. Here’s how it works:

Connect Your SIM Cards: Link your SIM cards to their system either through software or dedicated devices.

Start Earning: Once connected, your SIM cards will start sending and receiving messages based on SMSARK’s requirements. The more your SIM cards are used, the more you earn.

This method is particularly beneficial for people who have access to multiple SIM cards or manage telecommunications resources, such as those involved in marketing or network services.

Benefits and Risks of SMS and SIM Card Monetization

Like any other online earning method, making money through SMS and SIM card monetization has its pros and cons.

Benefits:

Low Effort and Passive Income: Once set up, earning through SMS or SIM card monetization requires minimal intervention.

No Specialized Skills Required: You don’t need any technical skills or experience to start earning through these methods.

Scalable Income: The more SIM cards or phone numbers you have, the higher your potential earnings.

Risks:

Risk of Spam Reports: Sending too many promotional messages can result in your number being reported for spam.

SIM Card Deactivation: Network providers may deactivate SIM cards if they suspect unusual messaging activity.

Misinformation and Scams: Be cautious when selecting platforms to work with. Always ensure that the company is reputable and trustworthy to avoid scams.

Conclusion

Earning money from text messages online, whether through paid SMS services, affiliate marketing, or SIM card monetization, is a viable way to generate additional income. Companies like SMSARK have made it easier to get started, allowing users to rent out their unused SIM cards for monetary gain. If approached with the right strategy and caution, SMS and SIM card monetization can be a convenient way to earn passive income.
