tmw the yearly urge to play skyrim kicks in

[cinamun]

Girll I swear, Seeing your story and your reblogs of other peoples stories makes me really wanna play the sims again!!! But then I remember; The updates, the mods I'd need to update, the game breaking bugs, I just can't with EA right now, so I live through the stories of yours and other amazing people on this hellsite. Maybe one day I'll put my boots on and finally make a tumblr legacy of my own...

NOT TODAY THO!!!

Love your stuff, please keep going <3

Thank you friend but listen, I'm not one of those people who willfully ignores EAs fuckery. I have had my fair share of corrupted saves and bugs that literally turned my OC's face into a bug. I haven't had anything break the actual game and that bitch is loading up behind this window right now. This is a hobby and I care about my hobbies. This game has never been anywhere near perfect so I can't even be mad at anyone who chooses not to play it.

In fact, with new games coming out and just seeing less sims 4 stuff in general on here, its starting to feel like the end of an era my friend.

[alicethepiper]

okay it's been like four days but i did the shitwater room (finally) - that room is literally the reason i started a separate ways campaign - because i wanted to play the game but i didnt want to play THAT part ugh i hate that room

but

this time

it wasn't so bad (keebie and mouse)

im abouta become a keebie and mouse missionary i swear its sooooo much nicer

(but that room still sucks i hate that room me and my homies ALL hate that room)

new ashley outfit just dropped woot woot

i was gonna put her in maria's oufit but that is for her punk outfit and i have it (i thought i didn't because it's referred to as her punk outfit colloquially but i think the game just calls it her casual outfit) and so i went to put her in it, went "oh i don't have the punk outfit i just have the casual one" and then didn't do it (not realizing that the punk and casual outfit were one and the same). so... i'll bother with that next time. that was one of the first mods i downloaded for the game so i am super excited for it but i like what she's in now, it's super cute. the little satchel pack and everything on her belt??? absolutely adorable.

hehehe she so cute - the glasses fit the outfit SO WELL

"shit water room ahead have fun hehe" - salazar

salazar is totally the type of person to say "hehe" irl like VERBALLY, i hate this about him (if it was anyone else i wouldnt care) (also isn't he like twenty or something canonically?) (that might not be true but i think i remember hearing that/reading that somewhere) (if he is in his twenties then he should totally have some slang in his vocabularly belt) ("omg slay mister kennedy. you took out everyone in the shit water room?? lowkey?? pop off king! that suplex was so cute") (someone make him say those things that would be so funny)

shit water room done mwahahaha

he is so handsome

she is so cute

hugs

stabby (oh no)

sad boy hours

...i have such good commentary

mods:

Leon Long Sleeves - pakjuaan Leon's Alternate Hairstyle - notryzer Punisher Color Collection Four Types - CrossingFN9 AKA HANAREIKO OG RE4 Beta Ashley Outfit - HD project - Glitch (Glitch5970) Ashley's New Short Hairstyle - Swiz19

i think that's it. on my last one i forgot to credit mods i'll go fix that now :)

Hi hi! I loved how you wrote the gang gaming in All Because I Liked A Boy and I was wondering if I could request a gamer!eddie x reader fic? Maybe them playing together and getting super competitive? And maybe the loser has to do what the winner wants lol

𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐎𝐧

Summary: You and Eddie decide to have a competition to see who the superior gamer really is between you two.

Author's note: I'm so happy you liked the fic! I hope you enjoy this too! I'll try to keep the gamer lingo to a minimum to not alienate people who aren't familiar with it! I had to play so much Black Ops 3 Multiplayer for this fic, I'm still terrible at it lmao.

CW: Some swearing.

Word count: 1.2k

Any hate will not be tolerated, constructive criticism is welcomed.

You and Eddie were hardcore gamers; any time off you two would get, it would be spent playing games together. But both of you loved it. You’d play all kinds of games together although your favourite kind was first person shooters, mostly including zombies, while Eddie’s were fantasy role-playing games. While you were playing Dead Island or Call of Duty Zombies, he would be playing Skyrim or Elden Ring.

Both of you joked about who was the better gamer between you two; with Eddie saying it was him due to him gaming for longer than you, but you saying it was you due to having more platinum trophies than him.

After months of squabbling, both of you decided it was time to do a competition between the two of you to decide who was the superior gamer. It was decided you would play Black Ops 3, because as Eddie put it, he “wanted to even the playing field” as both of you played Call of Duty quite often, although you played it more than he did recently.

The rules were simple; you weren’t allowed to look at each other’s screens, you weren’t allowed to use mods, or any other cheating software and you weren’t allowed to use any kind of sexual favours or flirting in order to distract the other.

Seemed easy enough.

The prize? Ultimate bragging rights to be the superior gamer in the relationship and having the loser has to be the winner’s slave for the rest of the day.

Both of you fired up your PlayStations, cracking your knuckles and stretching to get comfortable in your chair. You couldn’t see him, but you could tell Eddie had that infamous shit eating smirk on his face, armed with far too much overconfidence.

You didn’t want to beat him at one of his most beloved and most played games, but you knew you had the better skill set than he did. He hadn’t played Call of Duty in a long while since Elden Ring had been released, while you had played it almost religiously.

Loading into a multiplayer game, both of you instantly began looking for each other. You managed to catch him off guard and get the first kill of the match, his frustrated cry from behind you causing you to laugh.

“Already regretting this challenge, my love?” You asked through laughs.

Eddie shook his head, killing a member of your team before taking out both a  second and a third without even hesitating or breaking a sweat once he’d respawned. “Absolutely not, lovebug. Give me some time to warm up, I’ll annihilate you soon enough.”

Before you even had a chance to react, Eddie had headshotted you. “YOU BASTARD!” You yelled, banging the desk as both of you laughed. Okay, so maybe this wouldn’t be as easy as you thought it would. Even after Eddie had almost neglected Call of Duty, he still was an expert at playing it.

Beating him wasn’t going to be easy, but it had to be done.

At the end of the game, your team won. But only by the skin of your teeth; Eddie was grumbling and saying his teammates let him down which might’ve been the case, although both of your teams were filled with people who were a lower level than both of you. You chalked your win up to luck, more than anything else.

Deciding that perhaps team matches weren’t entirely fair, the pair of you got into a free-for-all match; with whoever got the most kills out of three matches would be declared the winner. You took a sip of your drink as the countdown started.

“Nervous, sweetheart?” Eddie smirked from behind you.

“You wish, Munson.”

As soon as the game loaded, it was game time. You had your tongue slightly out of your mouth in concentration as you killed as many people as you could, trying to find Eddie but before you could find him, he found you and knifed you. The match ended soon after with Eddie getting 20 kills, with you following behind with 18.

One point to Eddie, nothing for you.

On the second match, you won with flying colours.

The final match was truly do or die; both of you had one point each and it was all to play for. You chose your two best guns: 48 Dredge and RK5. As long as Eddie didn’t equip the same guns, you would be fine and have at least a small chance of winning the competition.

Once you loaded into the match, you knew you were screwed. There was absolutely no way in hell you could pull this off; you mentally began preparing yourself for his victory dance he always does in his room.

But you wanted to at least make victory difficult for him. Well, try to at least.

You had one more plan up your sleeve and it was heavily frowned upon to do so but you had no other options. You decided to find a hiding spot close to a spawn point and camp, shooting everyone who came close to you.

Camping was a massive no-no, but it was the only way you could ensure a win against Eddie; although you knew you couldn’t stay there for long because everyone else would be soon coming after you once they realised you were camping.

After killing eight other players, you saw Eddie sprinting your way. You sprang into action and killed him before he even realised you were there before getting up and running to another part of the map, knowing as soon as Eddie respawns, he’d be after you.

As predicted, everyone else was after you.

You’d gotten killed a couple of times by other players, but you were still determined to win. You didn’t dare look at the leader board, only wanting to see the results at the end of the match.

With several seconds left of the match, you and Eddie found each other and began firing, both of you yelling as you kept missing – either on purpose or not. The game finally ended with Eddie getting the final kill, erupting a loud cheer from him.

You rolled your eyes as you waited for the final verdict, and your heart skipped a beat.

You won.

By a landslide.

Eddie’s cheering stopped as soon as he saw the leader board, instantly turning around to you and forcing your chair around to face him. “How the hell did you win?! You got lucky!”

Finally, it was your turn to have a shit eating grin on your face as you watched him almost rage quit in front of you. “Edward Wayne Munson, you just can’t admit that I’m the better gamer.”

He almost threw his controller down on his desk. “You cheated! I taught you everything you know!”

You laughed as you watched him almost lose his mind. “Looks like the master has become the padawan. The future is now, old man.”

“I’m only two years older than you!”

You placed your controller down on the table, getting up to stretch your legs. “And look at you; you can’t even beat me in multiplayer!”

Eddie followed after you, wrapping his arms around your middle and pulling you closer to him, he pressed his lips to your neck and cheek before burying his face into your neck. “Rematch?”

You laughed as you turned around in his arms, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips. “Maybe if you give me a good enough reason.”

how many tes games have you played, what was your first build/character in each, and why did you pick those skills/traits/etc?

Hi and thank you!

I've played admittedly not a lot of Arena. Its hard to get into due to its age 🧙‍♂️ Love Jeff Perrymans work on the game though!

I've played a good amount of Daggerfall! I played a bit of it ~13(?) years ago but it was the original version so like Arena it was super hard to both play and get into it. I was actually doing a classic "sword and board" play through via Daggerfall Unity just last year and was having fun until my saves got corrupted somehow 🥲

I actually touched Redguard for the first time this year but I'm holding off until I finish my current Morrowind playthrough 🏴‍☠️

Battlespire I've actually never touched despite owning it. Its weird because I've POURED over that games wiki and its actually my favorite old school TES game based purely on aesthetics and its designs. A full play through is on my to do list for this year!

All the old TES mobile games, shadowkey, Oblivion Mobile, etc. I have limited experience with. I've seen them IRL on friends phones back in the day but never got hands on since I actually didn't have a phone until later in Highschool. I think the internet archive has at least a few of them playable? I'd have to check, maybe it's worth checking out!

Morrowind...ahh morrowind :) its my fav TES game in terms of quests. My first play through was not a full one, it was at a friends house on the XBOX version way way back in the day. For my first REAL play through it was on my first gaming PC and I played an athletics focused halberd wielding orc who bonked people on the head 😂

Oblivion..This one PAINS me..I've only actually played though it entirely a single time and it was ages ago on the Xbox 360 and I played a...stealth archer 😵‍💫..It wasn't a meme at the time I swear! I just liked sneaking and archery! When I got it on PC, every time I tried setting it up with or without mods I had technical issues. I've mentioned it before but I absolutely loathe the bad draw distance and pop in that plagues even "ultra" settings on PC. OpenMorrowind on PC is a technical marvel. I wish they'd do something similar for Oblivion or port a stable version of Oblivion to PC. I really want to do a full playthrough again!

Skyrim. Fun fact I calculated it one time and I'm certain I collectively have 3,000+ hours in Skyrim over the past 13 years. Possibly close to 4,000 but thats from my Xbox 360 playthoughs and I don't remember the exact times for that. The base game is long worn out for me but god damn is Skyrim's modding community incredible. Thanks to mods, the game has remained fresh in various ways for the past 13 years and at this rate I'll probably add another 1k hours before TES 6 comes out 😁

ESO. I'm gonna be 100% upfront here. I got the game when it came out and had lots of issues with it. The game had a rocky start and I wasn't ever a big fan of MMOs to begin with. That said! Zenimax has done amazing things over the past 10 years and really kept that game alive with continuous improvement. I haven't kept up with it the past few years ago outside of the lore (and art) stuff but I think after I give the older TES games another go, I'll probably hop back in to ESO.

Legends. I've never played it! TBH don't like card games, Hearthestone, Gwent, etc. Legends doesn't have much going for it besides the art BUT BUT BUT...Legends art is fucking incredible 😍😍😍 Seriously, after Perhaps Skyrim's concept art, the various artists of Legends are my 2nd fav to look at. I can ignore the actual gameplay but I really wish we knew more about who actually has created all the Legends art. We only have hints such as studio names for vast portions of the art, or straight up ZERO sources for who made a lot of the core decks and original release era art. I keep my head on a swivel for that stuff because its so amazing and beautiful!

Lastly, TES Blades. I'm not a huge fan of the game since I don't like touchscreen controls (eg. I play Morrowind on my phone but with a controller). I've played a fair amount but never beat it since the controls are bleh and gameplay doesn't appeal to me a ton. Most of the stuff that interests me about blades is the armor designs and the fact it gives us a super small glimpse into the period between The Great War and Skyrim.

Sorry this went a Lil long but thanks for your ask!

[melsie-sims]

Yes, I'm bringing back the Build-A-City Challenge!! Are you excited?? I'm so excited!!

This is an important announcement regarding some of my current save files. I'm not just screaming incoherently about my upcoming BACC, I swear.

But first... BACC! I hope everyone's as excited as I am about my upcoming save and that you don't think I'm starting something new again that I'll probably abandon (that's kind of been my M.O. lately and I hate it! I'm so sorry!). I've been considering bringing back the challenge for MONTHS though... it's probably been the most consistent Sims-related thing on my mind.

2 years ago, BACC was the challenge that really kick started my whole Simblr, and quite frankly it's the only challenge that's kept my attention for longer than 2 months (I played it for well over a YEAR!). The only reason I even stopped was because the game was so freaking glitched, to the point where my save was unplayable. But so much has changed since then, lots of those bugs have been taken care of... and I feel ready to bring on a whole new batch of founders. I hope I love them as much as I loved Jericho, Andy, Rusty, Hailey, Nineka... and yes, to some extent, even William.

With that said, I wanted to make this official. I'm going to be cancelling the Deadly Apocalypse Challenge. It was a cool concept and I had fun setting up the save... but I did not feel it.

I'm also very, very hesitantly considering cancelling Kingdom of Melwyn. I know you guys really like that one (and I do too!) but the save is already so slow and glitchy it's almost unplayable... I use a lot of the same mods as my Ultimate Decades and that runs fine, so I'm not sure what's going on there. I'm going to say it's on an indefinite hiatus for the time being. I might bring it back if it runs better down the road, or I might not.

My Ultimate Decades challenge will be back VERY soon (likely in the next week or two if I'm lucky). I still have a day's worth of Decades posts queued but I accidentally updated my game the other day (don't click 'play' without reading, there might be a sneaky patch you didn't know about) so I'll have to check through my many, many historical mods before I go into that save again.

I hope everyone's having a fantastic weekend! Happy spooky season eve and happy simming! 🧡🖤🎃

[rodolfoparras]

Right?!?? Calling it predatory is beyond awful and it just reeks of vilifying queer people. We aren't safe from it in every day life and now we aren't safe in our online spaces too?? Particularly in a space we curated for us because we want to write and discuss our queer fics?? And the sheer irony of (presumably) straight woman saying we are acting like a woman in gay bar like.....GIRL- GIRL ARE YOU HEARING YOURSELF-

And the twitter situation omg I have to briefly rant. Someone I follow commented on (albeit 2 years old) post of this straight girlie who was whining about the fact that character she likes was confirmed gay and how she wanted to keep drawing him in straight ship with her female self insert but people were mad at her for doing so. Like no shit 😭 she kept doing it for months after and I think she eventually stopped but like erasing character's sexuality like that when he canonically struggled with being gay too is just gross.

And my gods- girlies acting like Astarion is straight and guys acting like Shadowheart is straight is bane of my existence when all companions are canonically queer!!

As for games, Imma finally be able to properly play all of my favourite games because my laptop is so fucking old that it takes forever to play Sims 4 (admittedly I do have billion mods) let alone something else. I only played BG3 on my bestie's PC and I'll finally be able to do it properly 😭 I swear the only game I don't have any problems with playing on current laptop is Monster Prom. I tried playing Resident Evil 4 (another big hyperfixation) and it was so ungodly slow.

-🔮

Right?! And it’s literally on the verge of painting us as PREDATORS for writing fics? Like come on love both me and you know you aren’t that stupid to think what I do is predatory 💀

Also yes!! Like I said a privilege take to make by a straight woman 😭 like the self insert community isn’t a sacred straight space and fanfiction as a whole is not even a straight space 😭

Some ppl will never stop fascinating me bc I don’t understand this obsession straight people have with canonically queer characters. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an exclusively lesbian character and gone “let me make a male insert fic for her” like there is a whole lot of entitlement there. Not to mention how these little self inserts they make are always catered to white women. There was a Valentine’s Day cod post and i believe all characters except for gaz’s partner were white they will literally do anything to ensure there’s content for them

Also I can imagine how slow sims must’ve been my friend who has a good game set up still has issues with the game and I cant even imagine your situation also resident evil sounds like sm fun to play! I’ve only watched play through but I’ve loved every one of them!

[kayleigh-83]

Hey! So, I just saw your post about your sim falling in love with pretty much the entire neighborhood lol

In my case, I have this one sim that, as a child, she had the crush and love flags for another sim (which, of course, doesn't make sense). The other day I played with her, now her being an adult, and her partner couldn't propose to her because she was already engaged. Not to one, but two sims (and in love with another one)! They barely knew each other, if at all.

I'm glad your case was due to a mod. In the meantime, I'll cross my fingers and just hope for the best!

This game, I swear. 😅

That's so strange!

In my case it did end up being a traits mod, you can see all the back and forth in the comments under my post. It wasn't 100% clear that's how the mod functioned, or I wouldn't have downloaded it, plus with all the traits mods I've got I also totally forgot that this Sim just happened to satisfy the three or four check conditions for it to activate - plus even then nothing happened for a long time! A sleeper agent mod lol.

No idea what could cause that issue though - I think I've had a false relationship flag before, a long term couple couldn't get engaged cause the game was acting like they already were. But not since they were kids!

I have the Insimenator OBJ edition, and I used the relations adjuster to fix everyone's flags and relationship levels, maybe try that? It probably can be adjusted with some of the other modded controller objects out there too.

Sharing in case anyone else has any ideas!

[helpmyinterestsareverywhere]

I am fucking ecstatic over the ace attorney announcement. its a re-release of 2 spin off games, with one of them being PORTED TO ENGLISH FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! once its released, every ace attorney game (excluding the crossovers) will have modern re-releases and be in english, so HOPEFULLY it means they're working on ace attorney 7!!!! (it's been like 9 years since a new mainline ace attorney game, and 7 years since any new game includ. spinoffs)

I am really sad about tomodachi life though, I love it and I still play it on my 3ds!! (I've had the same one since like 2015 it still works lol) I wish they'd make a new one, hopefully with gay people, more gender options and customisations, but keep the glitter room I love it

SKSKSKSK HEY YOU!! I knew you'd be ecstatic for the Ace Attorney games :3

It's SO cool that you finally get ALL the games though!! That's really exciting & I hope you eat them up!! I'm honestly kinda intrigued about Ace Attorney as a whole (I've played the first case/like half-way through the second one from the first game of the Phoniex Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy,,, so really not that much LMAO) and I kinda want to keep going but I keep forgetting :3 BUT the news about these re-releases has gotten me interested again and I may continue. Honestly I DO hope they make another new game for you guys - being a lawyer is a fun concept for a game and maaaaaybe it'll keep pushing me to get through them

...I'm so devastated about the no Tomodachi Life 😔 (/jk im totally fine about it I swear) - I lost my original game bc my old 2DS (yes I was one of those) broke FOREVER ago and I brought a Switch rather than another DS so I had to give my games away </3 BUT I semi-recently brought a 3DS and modded it & got Tomodachi Life back so I guess I'll keep playing that one - I'm just a LITTLE salty becuase they ported Miitopia?? (which do NOT get me wrong I LOVE that game I completed the 3DS one in like a day or 2 after I got it) and gave us SO much new customizable abilities that would be Perfect for Tomodachi Life and then they just continue to deny us :( *SIGH* Oh Well 😔

(I will say it IS kinda funny that they were like "yeah we'll let you be gay in the next Tomodachi Life" and then just,,, never made one LMAO)

[greatprotector-if]

hey... no shame in admitting your ideal man is a straight gym bro who melts into a teddy bear after he realizes he likes guys... the gay panic.... the puppy love... the earnestness... you know he'd get all shy and nervous asking to hold your hand for the first time... poor guy's trembling during your first kiss because oh my god he's never done this with a guy before???? he's so happy he could die... i'm also touch starved and want to be held in a pair of big strong arms, i get you /lh.

and girl (gender neutral) thank you for humoring ME!!!! i am so normal about sdv i swear. i also happen to have the dcburger portrait mod installed (mainly because i couldn't find shie portraits for ridgeside) so now i get whiplash going from two very different art styles. also sprinkle in a bunch of dialogue mods and now everyone's more fleshed out... slippery slope to having like 60 mods in your folder and really putting your computer to work. i have the yandere dialogue installed so lovesick doesn't even scratch the surface for my game's alex lol. i get too preoccupied with foraging so i completely miss shiro most days as well (and pretty much every other villager) but him and his little brother are so sweet!!! the scar is just so unfair. i want to kiss him so bad.

i also really like jeric, fun flirty characters are just so mmm. i know the love interests are all playersexual but jeric i buy being fruity. even if he didn't have the single left earring in i would still confidently say he kisses boys. i know what he is.

i'm sweating from the first part of this ask you read me like a fucking book

i'll admit it!!!! gay panic is my Shit!!!!! and the way you described it is exactly what i love about it. games where it literally makes no difference whether you're gay or not are so cool and great but the games where the characters go "haha never been with another guy/girl before" have me in a chokehold. Knowing how to do things with people of the opposite gender but then when it's someone of the same gender suddenly they're nervous and feel vulnerable and don't know where to put their hands? oh my god Might as well just kill me at this point

i know the million mods killing computer feeling i went a little crazy downloading mods & i spent. literal hours just scrolling through them and the dialogue mods Carry. i love them so much, especially the ones that flesh out the romances bc vanilla stardew's kinda lacking in that department. (thank you modders you saved my life) and oh my god dude usually yandere is not my thing personally but when i saw the alex mod curiousity took over and. lookin through those screenshot previews? seeing the things he said? for the first time i Get It. god i get it. my finger almost slipped and i nearly downloaded it myself

JERIC ONLY HAS ONE EARRING? i've spoken to him maybe once so i never noticed that but you're so right that is a boyliker. god i need to stop mining all the time and actually talk to people i can't believe i've been missing out on a flirty character this is so fucked i Need to know more

OKAY SO LITTLE UPDATE AND SCATTERED THOUGHTS ON THE NEW EP

It turns out that removing 95% of your mods will improve the game's overall ability to run. Not shocking, but it's definitely a thing lol. I've also learned that some mods, while amazing conceptually, will probably not be added back into my game. This isn't on the modders: some mods are just so complex that I honestly can't keep up with them and therefore can't enjoy their features to the full extent. I do miss my custom recipes, wonderful whims, and a few lumpinou mods though (but that's really it so far).

I also removed all my custom sliders because I have no idea what is broken and what isn't at this point. Shocked to say I don't miss most of them, so I think it might be time I clean that folder out. I did, however, miss my presets!!! Especially body and mouth presets! Likely gonna tidy up those folders and then add those back in.

Kijiko eyelash remover seems to be working perfectly fine in my game, so if you use that one you are probably good to go.

The new pack's CAS items are good! I don't think I'm going to use a lot of it outside of sims in Tomarang, but that's okay. As of right now I am not planning to do an in-depth review of the CAS items because I pretty much just feel "fine" about all of it across the board: I don't hate anything but I'm not absolutely in love with anything either. Idk if I'm just feeling this way or if others are as well, but it seems like a lot of the items (especially the hairs) aren't really new and they're just modifications of things we already have... but that could be just me. I will say the cute dress with the slit up the side... chef's kiss. Needed more swatches though!

One unexpected item that I did love was the tea kettle!! I'm never buying a tea magic brewer or tea pot ever again. I never realized how badly I needed the ability to only make one cup of a tea/hot chocolate/coffee at time but it has been a game changer. I don't have much to say about the build/buy... it's all really nice. 🤷‍♀️ Wish there were more items that really stood out, but for the most part it's all just good, simple pieces with a few beautiful wall hangings (nice posters, a few good plants, love the baskets, standing toilet is a nice addition, adore the plastic garden chairs, etc.). Functional radiators, water tanks, etc. were fantastic additions with this pack and I would have been happy if they were just decor tbh (and was expecting them to be) but the fact that they aren't makes me very happy. Compatibility across packs is done far too rarely, so I'll let the sims team have this one crumb of a win.

I'm still testing this pack out so gameplay features are being dicovered bit by bit. Haven't ran into some of the big bugs people have been having, but I'm still early in the save and playing as a tenant (I stand by the fact that I have 0 interest being a property owner). The tester sim I made (Riley, she/they) vibed so hard with Vanesha Cahyaputri. Like the two of them have "amazing compatibility" and had full bar friendship almost instantly and I did not make Riley with any partner in mind... I didn't even know Vanesha was a canon lesbian! But they haven't had a single negative interaction soooo brb I'm on my way to make her over ASAP because I loooooovee a good sapphic friends to lovers arc. 😂

Lastly: I have some asks in my inbox. I swear I'm not ignoring you if you've messaged me, it's just been a chaotic few days as December is always so busy. I will answer them as soon as I can! Until the holidays are over I'll probably be posting sporadically! I'm still going to be here, but I'm enjoying just playing the game without any pressure to post about it.

Also, with updates breaking cc and sliders like crazy, it's unlikely I'll be sharing any sims outside of sim requests for a while. I'll still crank out builds, happily chat about my OCs, and reblog other people's content on here. For now I plan to just enjoy my time with my family and play the game stress free! ❤

Okay bye now!

what do you do in petz + how the fuck is spam tong in petz

ok, so! petz, or in this case, PF Magic Petz specifically, is an old, OLD pet simulator game from the 90s! it's made to run on doo-doo potato computers, and uses it's own wacky technonogy called, and bear with me, "ballz", to render the pet models.

there's other games by pf magic, but we'll focus on petz. before they became stinky ubisoft petz. (ubisoft bought petz) nono ignore that. this is PURE FUCKIN' MAGIC PETZ! (thats what pf stands for)

you adopt a dog or a cat... and you take care of it! and unlike most modern pet sims - your pet truly has a personality of its own. for the game's age it's actually surprisingly complex, and the community is finding new things each year! i believe just last year (or two years ago??) we found out petz have FAVORITE COLORS.

each pet is unique in their own way!! signature animations, favorite foods, what relationships they have with other petz, how you've trained them... one pet may love being fed cheese, while the other may not.

of course there's also personalities for each breed, as each breed has it's own personality. i can't explain this one well, so give this a read!

i used to play petz a lot more back then, nowadays i just check in on it sometimes, but the genuine connection you may get to feel towards your silly guys is real.

fun fact i only adopt cats. i dont do my breeding from scratch but the guys i adopt from other people or PUGS (petz universal game site) (i hope i got that right) i dont like the sounds dogs make. i still need to finish graphics for all my cats. heres some of them. i love them.

what really makes this game is the community! it's a small, but surprisingly lively and friendly community! many of these people may even be twice your age, enjoying this silly pet game online with everyone, it's wonderful! the game is very moddable, and people make their own breeds, toys, areas... anything you think of, it can be put in this game with enough time and creativity!

some people make realistic, breeds, and some people make Silly Guys! like me for example! i'm really into fan-made media petz! it's how i got into the game, after all! i've made some hexied (modded petz) of my own!

ralsei is my best example. gif taken from my site

also, most people around the petz community have their own websites! for their downloads, shows, or to show off their petz!! what you can do is endless. i made my site because of that, though it's in constant disrepair and i SWEAR one day i will move to neocities.

and yes!! shows!! people do shows!! you can pose and take pictures of your petz and it'S actually a very pixel precise thing, trying to get your pet to do a show pose! people do these shows on forums and even give each other little graphic trinkets like badges!!

speaking of graphics... STAMPS!! petz fans love stamps!! i collect some, too, but my collection isnt as impressive as some other people.

people even have stamps for their own sites, that's where these come from!!

already creeping to petz spamton, dont worry!

but about petz hexing, i wanna give a shout out to the skinstealer system at the bad_death site. i admire their work so much. check it out!!! i reblog their things sometimes. (well..on my petz blog but i'll start doing so here, too)

ANYWAYS. PETZ SPAMTON. WHAT IN TOON IS THAT.

Well. you prolly werent there for it but petz spamton took some places of the internet by storm and OH BOY WAS IT BOTH REALLY COOL BUT ALSO VERY TIRING SOMETIME. im not the creator, i do not take credit, however i am partially responsible as that entity was created on my server. (after my friends talked about the reanimated joshua and the promised land video from saberspark - its a big collab and we talked about the people who worked on it. one of them was Moonkitti who has a petz profile picture. i then left the convo but my friend who i wont name so they feel comfy <3 remembered petz and had the wonderful idea of Modding Spamton Into It.)

i was graced with being able to see THE BEASTS PREMIERE. AND LATE AT NIGHT, WATCHING A DISCORD CALL OF THIS THING BEING BORN, SCREEN RECORDING IT ON MY PHONE.... LATER USING THE FOOTAGE TO MAKE This Infamous Video.

petz spamton doesnt look like this anymore its had many updates. (you can see the history on my spamtons as id update a new one and keep it with certain updates!! for example otterpop doesnt have colored paw pads, but mango does.) but this is the original. i had an og adopted as well but i lost it </3 BACK UP YOUR FILES BACK UP YOUR FILES BACK UP YOUR FILES BACK UP YOUR FILES. I MISS YOU CHEESE-TON.

and WELL.. PEOPLE LIKED THIS MOD...! much much fanart... and even some drama uh oh please people dont sexualize feral animals. thanks. go to hell and die. it was both very fun but as you can imagine it got overwhelming especially for my friend so i am keeping them anonymous!! they do have a sideblog for petz just named "petzspamton" if you want to see The Og.

it got many people into petz!! it was wonderful to see people discover this old game. hell! even i got into it this way! though as trends are, they usually go away eventually. i stay however because im ill. hashtag number one spamton pet breeder. dont take it the wrong way. i like spamton mixies.

oh yeah! the breeding in this game! SURPRISINGLY VERY COMPLEX. WONT BE GETTING INTO IT. but! two petz can have a baby! including modded petz! it can create Monstrosities. but some are niceys! i like both the cursed ones because funny but also getting some niceys to keep :) i have many mixed spamtons!!

for example iceshock (white) and creature! (grey)

the possibilities truly are endless !!

but yeah. the hype died down but its always funny meeting people, talking about interests, we get to deltarune. I mention petz, then they say oh yeah petz spamton i know that AND THEN THEY REALIZE WHO I AM "YOU MADE THAT SPAMTON VIDEO" BRUH IT HAS 4K VIEWS ONLY LIKE HOW DO YOU FIND THIS SHIT . THIS HAPPENED ONCE OVER SOMEONE I MET ON A FUCKING CLUB PENGUIN PRIVATE SERVER. i do not like micro fame but oh my god this shit is always so fucking insane and funny to me i love it i love being a fucking cryptid. BUT ANYWAYS

things layed dormant. petz spamton server dead as hell. my own server #living tho #gaming #swag #iamruinbornaftonialwayscomeback.

and then... THEN... SPAMTON SWEEPSTAKES OCCURS. AND THERES A PETZ MENTION THERE. DID WE CAUSE THAT? OR IS IT TOBY JUST LIKING OLD GAMES AS HE DOES.

WELL READ MORE HERE BECAUSE I TALKED ABOUT THIS ON MY WEBBED SITE !

BUT YES. SPAMTON IS IN PETZ NOW. IM PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE. ITS PROBABLY BEEN REFERENCED BY TOBY FOX??? IF YES THEN I HAVE 2 NICKELS FOR HAVING A THING IM RESPONSIBLE/PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR BEING NOTICED BY THE CREATORS. NOT A LOT BUT WEIRD IT HAPPENED TWICE.

PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT MY SPAMTONS. I LOVE THEM.

but man if i may get goopy orizfhhguguughh ill be fr height of petz spamton hype got Tiring .im sosososos glad the server we had for it was tiny as hell and secret because MAN. URUGHH

I'm playing - AK-xolotl - 2023

"It's missing one crucial element from a game about Axolotls, Blubbly"

Synopsis The cutest, deadliest and ONLY top-down roguelike shooter featuring AK-wielding Axolotls. Blast your way through the animal kingdom with an arsenal of kick-ass guns, mighty power-ups and even raise an army of trigger-happy baby axolotls. Steam Page

First, the big axolotl in the room. Blubbly is not in this game. I've been streaming at least one run a day on Twitch, and will continue doing so until Blubbly is added. (https://www.twitch.tv/thetaliacarver) Look at my profile picture. It's simple. A pink axolotl with yellow, pink, and blue gills all in pastel. I will not stop streaming this game until either they add Blubbly or I figure out how to mod them in.

The above bias aside, I have torn through this game and adore it. I'm excited to see where it will go. Aside from just being a fan of axolotls, I enjoy a good twin-stick roguelike. Also, I put "playing" at the top, not just because it's something I will keep coming back to, but because given the dev's roadmap, it will look different a year from now.

As the game stands now it is feature complete, it has everything I was looking for, and yet there will be more. Indie games, especially when they see moderate to good success, can take their complete game and flesh it out, like adding a good background to a portrait.

I think the standout for me in this game, is that the secondary guns you get, for a big part, are indicative of that, secondary. Allowing the primary weapon to be powerful makes the choice more impactful. One the one hand this is good, and the other, the balance could shift a bit I feel. Snipers are the best example of this, when I look at the list of snipers and aside from the primary they all deal the same amount of damage with only minor variance, it isn't as interesting. The melee weapons are nice because each weapon has the tradeoff of higher or lower attack speed and related damage values. It's one of those things that you can only test so much for internally.

I like the run progression, mostly. 5 biomes, 8(?) levels each? Good timing for an average run to be about 30 minutes. Although eventually I'll try my hand at speedruns after I collect the axolotls which could get it down under 18 (currently). There are some things that irk though. The Secret rooms, are sometimes amazing boons, and others just passing through another room. They don't need to all be item rooms, but it just irks me for some reason to have it be just a reference to pass through.

The music? Kind of settles into the background. Which for a roguelike is a blessing. If I put my ear out for it though I do enjoy it. Especially for "Hell'o Kitty"'s track to have meows in the background. Delightful.

Go buy this game and leave reviews telling them to put Blubbly in it (only on positive reviews) The game's good! Go support it! I'll get my silly little stuffed animal in the game, I swear it.

OOC: Baby Pics Of Moonwell Valley (my custom hood)

Okay, so this is an out of character post. I just recently stumbled onto the "Storytelling" folder of my custom hood by total accident and I unlocked some core memories. It's nostalgic for me, and probably not that interesting for anyone else, but I'm still gonna post them, and no one can stop me.

Be prepared, these pics were taken in game (for some reason), so they are suuuuper crispy.

Xenry and Boyona. At least you can see the original hair colors of the founders now, if you're interested in that. Fun fact, Ravvin's red hair came from Xenry. I swear, I hit the jackspot with the recessive genes.

Snake and Amana. Yeah, you can finally get introduced to the sims who died before I started this blog.

Wind and Bear. Omg, Wind looked so different.

Shandra and Zavyr. Another one of the red haired sims who's genetics I'll cry about being gone forever.

Thundera and Earthquake. I originally imagined them being these badass people while creating them, then they turned out to be one of the chillest. Hello there Earthquake! Another long gone dude. Now that I see him, I think Cloud is almost a copy of him.

.

Okay, now onto the random gameplay pics.

Omg they're on fire!!!4!!!44!4

What even is this angle?

Yeah... That's how this challenge plays in the start.

I actually completely forgot about this, but I let Bear beg for Wind's life, which I wouldn't let today. I think I originally did it, cause it was fricking twins (she died from birth with a mod)! I don't regret it. Maybe it's destiny that Wind ended up taking out 2 other people while she lived. It was perhaps the price for her life in the long run.

Little Feather and the even smaller Forest. I love them.

I gotta be honest, the twins are my favourite still to this day.

More Goldfinders... The hood used to have almost no trees, it was so barren.

Shandra with little Zoma who was rebelling against the dress code. I can't believe he ended up being such a good looking sim, his toddler face didn't do him justice.

Woooow, clay hair. That toddler is... I honestly can't tell if she's Maza or Azra. I think it's Azra judging from the eyebrows.

Wait, what the hell was Zoma doing with one of the Goldfinder twins?

Well, he ended up marrying Cliff, so...

Out of order pic, but the babyface Zoma is so cute... Oh no, you can see the old Hot Springs community lot in the background. It was so horrible. I decided to remove the palm trees, cause the rest of the neighbourhood's trees didn't match at all. But thinking logically? It was actually the palm trees that fit the all time summer, and not those fricking trees that are used to 4 seasons... But whatever, this is the Sims, damn it, I can do whatever I want.

.

Thank you for reading this far if you did. I hope you enjoy Moonwell Valley, I certainly do. c:
