And now several more things, most of which have been very brief as I just try stuff out to see what's worth sticking with and what my brain is amenable to at the moment.

I finally got around to trying Downwell. It seems fine? Like I don't have anything against it, but it's not doing enough for me that I'll probably play any more than the dozen minutes or so I have so far.

this morning I decided to die was alright. It only took like half an hour to go through the whole thing (one route that goes to the bad ending and then the good one). Definitely not one to pick up if you're not in a place where you can deal with stuff about serious mental health issues like psychosis and suicide. Also abuse. I get what it was going for, but I don't think it entirely worked for me and probably won't leave too much of a lasting impression. I'm glad the person who wrote it got to say something about it based on their own personal experiences though (from what I've heard about it anyway).

A less brief one is FF7R, which I think I'm about halfway through the story of and have mixed feelings on. I like that the writing and way the story is told is much better than in the original and makes a lot more sense, even if so far I'm still only moderately intrigued by the story and don't love it yet. What I do love though is how much better the characters are handled. In just the first few hours of the game I already knew more about and cared more about people like Jessie and Biggs and Wedge than I did some of the main party members in the original, and these are people who barely even got names the first time around. Music's great too. I'm indifferent to the graphics though, like it's technically impressive but not really my vibe a lot of the time, and I kind of wish it were actually less detailed so it would be easier to see stuff. And then the gameplay is meh. On the plus side it's better than the previous attempt at making FF an action game, FF15, which to me just felt downright bad, but they've only made it up to mediocre with this one. Maybe I'm biased coming off having played stuff like Astral Chain recently, but I just expect it to feel better than it does when they spend that many years and that much money on it, and it really doesn't. Please make the animations "worse" so they can feel more responsive.

On the other hand I have almost no complaints about Wylde Flowers a few hours into it. It's very much on track to be my second favorite farming game after Harvestella, and potentially the only more traditional farming/life sim I actually manage to stick with and finish if it keeps this up. My first impression was that it's the most basic bitch game I've played in a long time (which I don't mean in a bad way, just that's the vibe I was getting) and I wouldn't be surprised if one of the recipes I learned was pumpkin spice latte. As stuff started opening up it really won me over though. It's even lower pressure than stuff like SDV because you can slow down the clock and seasons don't advance until you choose for them to, which I appreciate. The characters are mostly likable and interesting too, and it's aggressively inclusive, which at first I was worried was it just trying to check off all the boxes for their own sake, but everyone has much more substance to them than just being representation. Definitely looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

I'm glad I grabbed Zenzizenzic before it gets permanently delisted in like a week when Adult Swim Games stops existing. I'm not going to do or unlock everything in it because I'm just not good enough at bullet hell games, but for a couple bucks it's pretty fun, and the music is excellent.

And then I was looking at what other stuff people who worked on Harvestella have been involved with. I had no idea one of those things was Ender Lilies. A couple people I know had played it before and liked it, but I was kind of wary because of the soulslike elements, which usually aren't my jam. I gave it a chance because of the Harvestella connection though, and it might be the first thing I've ever played with very direct and obvious influences from Dark Souls that I actually mostly enjoy playing. The way it feels to play reminds me a lot of Dead Cells, except with the things that didn't work for me in that tweaked just enough that I'm either ok with them or they're enough less annoying that I don't mind. I think a large part of it is just animations generally being quicker, but overall the timings on things just fit my preferences better. I like it enough up through the first git gud boss that I can see myself finishing it, which would be a first for anything even vaguely soulslike.

And then those same people also apparently made a bullet heaven game when I wasn't looking, and some of the design decisions are informed by the bullet hell games they've been porting to the Switch over the past few years. It's 9th Sentinel Sisters, and it's actually pretty good too. Still in early access so I probably won't get too invested and burn through it all at once until there's more of it, but it feels promising so far.

Hardcore Cottagecore was a random extremely cheap impulse buy because the idea amused me. It's another bullet heaven game, except this time you're a mushroom fighting off Amazon's robots trying to build a warehouse in your forest. It's kinda cute. It only took an hour to finish the entire thing though, and it's very easy and/or unbalanced. Very student project/game jam game vibes, or the kind of thing you find clicking randomly on things on itch.io. It doesn't quite all come together in the end, but there's some potential there.

And finally Star Ocean: The Divine Force, which I fit in a couple hours of too to see if it's any good. I suspect that overall it's probably a bit of a mess, just like the earlier games, but one thing I can definitely say about it so far is that it knows how to let you have fun. Mechanically it feels like an actually successful version of what FF15 tried to do but didn't really succeed at. Like what if the warp ability from that had way fewer restrictions and didn't need a target and could be aimed in any arbitrary direction (including up) and basically let you fly? And everything just generally feels much tighter in general. I'm curious whether it'll hold up for an entire game, but at least so far I'm enjoying gotta go fasting.

My partner has been playing FF15. Unlike me, he has practically no idea of the expectations, disappointment, and baggage the game carries, and that's probably for the better. He thinks it's a fun roadtrip sim and probably will just gloss over the main plot.

The cooking images got us both drooling so we went through all of them to decide what to cook for dinner. Ended up making a killer Vietnamese beef stew. Thanks recipeh man

Made custom eyes for Noctis. This was made using the series of icons that will appear in the CAS list. Handsom Noct will be in the bottom corner of each icon for my own custom content related to Noctis. This is not yet available to download. That’s coming soon. I will release a Stuff Pack of FF content and guide to ensuring you have all appropriate meshes and exactly what settings used to create the guys.

do you play any other games besides the sims and if so any you care to recommend? even if they’re on other platforms would love to hear

Stardew Valley had me in a chokehold when I first bought it because of how relaxing it is. There's so much to do when you first start so if you like role-playing and adventuring I recommend it all the way. Action games like Devil May Cry 5 and Bayonetta I also recommend because of the storyline and combat (even though I'm bad at it lmao) and I adore them and the characters. My honorable mentions would be FF15, the Fable series, Minecraft, I could talk forever about these games😅

Plotholes of FF15; the ultimate edition

It’s come to my attention that with the plot being as wonky and contradictory, many (including me) find it hard to decide what’s a plothole and what’s simply a part left vague by the game. I’ve made a list of all the plotholes I could think about so far which is..uh.. quite the long read. I’ve wanted to have it though while waiting for the new DLCs.

1. Ravus is made responsible for the Niflheim army’s huge defeat in Altissia and sentenced to death, however we can see him well and free walking into the Emperor’s throne room in Zegnautus Keep. Since at this time almost the entirety of Niflheim has fallen victim to the starscourge it’s possible he escaped somehow and came to finish the Emperor off, but the game explains nothing.

2. The starscourge seems to be an illness progressing either very fast or very slowly, possibly at a pace chosen by Ardyn himself if he so wills it. Emperor Aldercapt is mentioned to have infected himself with the scourge shortly after Ardyn’s appearance at his court which was 30 years before he transformed, meanwhile Ravus turned into a demon mere minutes, maybe an hour after infection. Again the game explains nothing

3. Ifrit got infected with the starscourge by a mysterious man who is given no name but who can only be Ardyn. If Ardyn apparently can kill and infect gods, why did he not infect any of the others so they would abandon Noctis and fight for his cause instead? We know the Empire has killed many gods including Shiva whose dead body still lies where its fallen on Niflheim grounds.

4. The gods die but they also don’t. Both Shiva and Titan are canonly dead and you can see Shiva’s dead body, however both are also alive spiritually (?) aiding you in battle.

5.  Ardyn is the only creature who didn't die from the starscourge, it just made him a godlike being instead. Why?

6. Bahamut delivered the prophecy to mankind telling of a king of kings to be chosen to save the world, a thing the gods want to happen because they have sworn to protect mankind - still every single one of them except Shiva and the Fulgurian try to kill Noctis. That means despite Bahamut revealing to Regis that his son is the chosen one when he was only a toddler, apparently noone else believes it and everyone doubts his ‘chosen-ness’. Get your shit together, gods.

7. Ardyn was known and worshipped as an extraordinarily selfless man who healed millions of the starscourge, however that led to him infecting himself eventually which caused the events of FF15 and the world being plunged into eternal darkness. Lunafreya has also been given the power to heal the starscourge - by Bahamut, if you believe the cosmogony which states he descended to Eos to handpick a maiden to be the first oracle. Are we to assume Ardyn was a prototype gone wrong who then was cast aside in favour of a new healer type? Or does Luna maybe infect herself slowly? Which leads us to the next point...

8. Lunafreya is sick. A cutscene taking place in Altissia has her weak and pleading to Ravus to take the ring and give it to Noctis, because she fears she will not be able to any longer, because her body is already failing her. We are however never told what this weakness is and it is literally never shown except in this scene. Is it the ‘prize of the covenant’ Ardyn mentions to know well, also in Altissia? Does doing her oracle duty sap her of life (sounds ineffective)? Or is that prize the starscourge? Or is the ring somehow killing her like the ring of Sauron??

9. For Bahamut to give the oracle her powers to heal the scourge, obviously he himself must be able to heal the scourge, however he never does.... was making Ardyn wait for 2000 years until Noctis could sacrifice his sad life for him a sick form of entertainment? Or can he just not heal Ardyn somehow? Whatever it is, Bahamut heals noone ever, not so sworn to protect humankind after all, I guess. See number 7.

10. Ardyn is often referred to as a chosen king, however we are explicitely told he was forbidden to ascend. Many believe this means the crystal never chose him and that seems to be what happened regarding his grudge against the crystal especially. What relativizes this again though is the cosmogony itself: “There once was a man born a mortal but blessed with powers divine. Conjuring a collection of glaives he dispelled the darkness plaguing our star. As a reward for his efforts the gods granted him a holy stone” - The Crystal, which he was to guard at all cost. Cleansing the world of the scourge in his time is a thing Somnus The Mystic is known for. That means the Crystal was given to mankind AFTER Ardyn became ‘the lost son’. Except the cosmogony was rewritten to exclude Ardyn which means the cosmogony is not a reliable source of history and lore at all. Seems like it, because being written out of history (again) is a thing Ardyn is concerned over when he dies. However what seems to be another fact making all of this more confusing is that according to Ardyn Somnus, if he got the crystal or not, himself was not chosen by the time he had Ardyn executed. Possibly he never was. Possibly noone ever was except Noctis who seems to be Ardyn’s successor in all ways possible. In their last fight Ardyn refers to Noctis as the chosen king, but ‘a second rate chosen at best’ seemingly referring to himself who was definitely sheduled to be chosen 2000 years ago. Maybe all of this is intentionally confusing and contradictory, but due to the missing pieces it is literally impossible to figure out the truth so it remains a plothole: was Ardyn meant to be the king of kings? Was he supposed to be ‘just’ the first king? Was Ardyn given the crystal or was Somnus? We will never know until maybe Episode Ardyn hopefully.

11. Ascended Noctis is - apparently - immortal. Ardyn who is pretty much the only character at this point who we can assume to know his shit explains his motives to Noctis as he is being pulled into the crystal the following way: “Killing you as a mortal will bring me scant satisfaction.” Evidently the King of Kings is immortal, at least in a way that he can not die a natural death.

12. If Ardyn was a prototype of the King of Kings who failed maybe the starscourge did not kill him because he was always meant to be immortal? Ardyn really is the gods’ fault, isn’t he? Pure food for thought though. You can fill a book with Ardyn theories due to the massively wonky plot of FF15.

12. Ascended Noctis is maybe not only immortal, but definitely more powerful than the gods. The gods can’t kill Ardyn. They can’t restore light. Bahamut actually explains to Noctis inside the crystal that his ascension will elevate him above the gods. We are never told why Noctis has to die to fulfill the prophecy though and if you accept Episode Ignis as being a valid alternate universe, a what-if path where all mechanics of Eos are still in effect, then very clearly Noctis never really had to die, it is just what Bahamut tells him. Maybe the ‘blood prize’ that needs to be paid is really only the gods’ hubris of not wanting another deity that is stronger than them ruling their little SIMS world of a kingdom. Like the blood prize Nyx pays for using the ring. Bunch a’assholes. See number 9.

13. Now on to Prompto. Dear god, Prompto is a gold mine. Prompto says in Zegnautus Keep that he always knew his barcode was the sign of an MT and that he is really from Niflheim, but it’s not something he could just tell his Lucian friends. So Prompto apparently knew MTs are somehow made from humans, however in his own Episode he seems shocked by the reveal.

14. However did Prompto know anyway if he was rescued as a baby? Did his step parents know and tell him later? Who the fuck are his step parents and why does this not have any role at all in the game?? If his step parents knew, who else fucking knows about MTs? Did Regis know? Deemed a plothole because if Regis did not know then his wall is apparently not as safe as he thinks for Niflheim people to sneak in and raise an MT there and if he DID know then he really oughta have known he was sending an MT with Noct who could betray him at any time which was actually supposed to happen in early scripts.

15. MTs start out as babies, however all of the Prompto clones we see in Episode Prompto are adults, which means they either give them about 20 years to grow into a demon core which is unlikely since they’ve had MTs for a long time and in huge numbers or the clones just grow super fast. Prompto however doesn’t age super fast. Something here is either lazy coding or very, very fucky.

16. What actually is an MT? Clearly MTs are mainly made from metal and not at all a human or demon in a suit though it is still a common misconception in parts of the fandom. They don’t bleed when they die, instead they give off electric sparks and show dozens of broken wires next to miasma. Their bodies are decidedly human looking, they can be programmed which is an integral part of their function lest they become violent and uncontrollable and they also move decidedly robotic. Our best guess at this point is that the demon core is the essence of a demon condensed into a ‘battery’ that is shielded from light by its purely robotic body. According to the files you find on MTs the reason human clones are chosen for the process is that they do not suffer a loss of ego and do not go insane which normal humans did when they used regular citizens. I assume that means the clones do not have a sense of self since they never were self-aware to begin with. They became conscious already being MTs. And then we have Episode Prompto where apparently an MT fears death which clearly indicates an ego. Or maybe that was Prom’s imagination, after all he also fantasized his childhood self…

17. Ardyn seems to know a lot about Solheim technology to be able to give Niflheim the ability to create advanced robotic soldiers or the tech to develop airships… quite a savvy chosen king for a time in which any and all Solheim technology was shunned by the gods as heretical. Either Ardyn never was such a holy messiah or very, very much of that Solheim tech was still present in everyday life in Ardyn’s time… provided the gods were cool with their king meant to lead people back to faith using any of it. Since, you know, the gods hated Solheim. That’s why they made Lucis.

18. The Ring according to the cosmogony is the sign for someone fit to rule, however also according to the cosmogony the ring can be weilded by everyone who’s worthy, not only the king. We see this confirmed in Nyx and Ignis. That strongly indicates not everyone in the long line of the Lucis Caelum was worthy either and in fact there are only a very short number of kings resting inside the ring including Regis who very obviously wore and used it. It seems to me we are led to believe putting on the ring is always a risk even for a Lucis Caelum; they might be burned and killed just like everybody else. That appears to fit the obvious fear in Noctis to put on the ring which he then only does because Ardyn took all his other weapons. The kings inside the ring don’t seem to see things the way the cosmogony does in any way condescending Nyx for being ‘not even a king’ - so what is it really? 

I’ll stop here though I’m sure I could think of more if I tried. The truth is, FF15 could have done with some more proper development time to clear out many of these issues. I’d love to hear more of these if anyone has some more!

do u play any games ? mobile games ? pc games ? online mmorpg ? tabletop rpg (like dnd) ? wii / ps games ?

I really love games but I’m more interested in the story and visuals and not the actual game play? Like I love the Assassin’s Creed Game - actually wrote a paper about AC III - and everything with good graphics but I never played them. I’ve tried to play games in the past but I quickly lose interest I guess. I usually talk to my brother about games and since I’m interest I know some stuff and storylines.

If anyone knows any lighthearted games - preferably something fantasy-like where you can walk around with a character and just do stuff - please hit me up! I would love to have something like that for my laptop because I like leveling up a character but mostly in an open world kind of thing. I don’t even know if I’m making sense here… (realistic graphics would also be nice)

I was really looking forward to FF15 for years and I actually have it but never played more than 3 hours…ooops. I played FF14 online for a while but then I was at level 30 or so and after that you have to pay so… nope. I played Need for Speed for a while? Some space ship game. I tried Overwatch but that’s too many buttons for me.

Strangely enough I never had any games on my phone, except for DoodleJump years ago. Was never really interested in those.

And I always see dnd everywhere but I have no idea what the heck that actually is? 👀

My sister and I got a Wii for Christmas like over a decade ago and we played a lot. Especially a game called Sims Stranded. Also Wii Sports Resort. Oh and I had Harry Potter and Transformers! Those were cool as well. I also just watch my brother play on his XBOX for hours sometimes. I just really like watching. Visuals and story is ma stuff!

If you have games you really like please do tell me. I know a little bit and I actually do like talking about it a lot even when I’m not an expert. You probably don’t know but my first application for university was for Game Design~

Olette KH2

I started by converting Olette's clothes and accessories from KH3, but after converting her I wanted to make her KH2 version to have all her versions. Although the texture of the flowers have a bit of pixelation as they are not in HD quality. (Luckily I changed the texture in its original model version so I have the high quality version also out of the sim)

Olette KH3

Marlene

Although her clothes are very high poly, I think the conversion is not too bad, tho I'll probably have to retouch a little neck part because dress texture looks a bit, to make it better. But I still don't know how to solve problem of dress, it happens to me with all of dresses meshes 😆

Iris Amicitia

Her clothing and accesories were the first ones I converted for the sims in my early days, and this was the second time I converted her clothes and accesories when I had a better understanding of how it worked. Tho there are still a lot of things that look awful, like the chain clinging to the dress. On the other hand it was also the first hair I did directly on a sim with curves, and honestly it looks horrible, everything from the texture to the shape. I hope in a near future to do it again, now that I have more skills.

~Beta~ Roxas Clothes

I need to convert the hair and improve weight paint of clothes, it looks horrible when he's walking. That's why it's beta, well and because right now clothes are worn by Sora.

This is Sims 4 Noctis Outfit comparison for the next two outfits, trendy and casual with jacket. For his casual outfit, I made the hat, the gloves, the shirt, the jacket and the dog tag he's wearing as well as his eyes. The trendy outfit featured the shirt, dog tags, and eyes I made for Noct as well as the trendy jacket that I made. I will upload the custom content soon.
