The Tutorial

Watch This City Burn

I’m going in chronological order and am only up to Dec 2010, so I haven’t started on MLAnderson, Whispered Faith, and so on yet. I still need to see if Just Another Fool is on the Wayback Machine, and I need to track down the tweets and blog posts of The Big Ones.

My fave obscure entries are Dreams In Darkness and Beyond the Neon. I think my main bias to Neon is that the main character reminds me of one of my OCs terribly, and so I could watch him do anything ever. Idrk if it’s Good by normal definitions, I’m just like. Haha this is what Blorbo from My Brain would also do.

My least favorites are Seeking Truth, and I really hope compileTRUTH picks up soon, cuz I like the character Cairo but the formatting of the show is difficult for me to engage with.

If you know any other series - send me an ask or dm me. I wanna know. My new years goal this year is that I will learn enough to become haunted by Slenderman.

slenderverse fans will recommend you the world's most low quality junk food esque piece of media with no real themes or any sense of what actually makes something good or interesting, probably created by some 15-20 year old, who abandoned it after like 2-3 years. it's me i'm the slenderverse fan. read The Tutorial

The Sims 2 Playable Tutorial

Hello everyone,

I created this blog pretty recently. I've no idea what I'm doing so I accept any tips.

But anyway…

Quite some time ago I felt like playing with Tutorial sims but I wasn't sure if there's conversion. I found one but then I realised it's gonna have clones and other stuff, as it's put right from game. Then I just thought I'm gonna make my own recreation. I decided to make it fully playable, without useless and/or corrupted data, and without the tutorial sim clones.

I am not too good at recreating houses, so I downloaded a really well made recreations from MTS - 3 Sim houses were made by fiona13 (1)(2)(3) and Creative Textures were recreated by PhilosophicalDebate.

I made this on Ultimate Collection, so it's probably required to work.

Download:

Main Hood

Subhood

Things that are different between the original tutorial and my recreation:

some minor stuff like file numbers, cuz it's a recreation and not conversion

name (it's now The Tutorial, cuz if it was just Tutorial then the game would break it a little)

This one has a subhood version if anyone wants it

there is only one set of Tutorial couple because I didn't want clones. They live in the New Gameplay house

As there by default are 2 Tutorial Janes and 3 Tutorial Joes with different interests, I gave them the interests from New Gameplay version

Joe and Jane have simple descriptions now (copied from Castaway Stories version of tutorial)

Family and Neighbourhood descriptions are copied from The Sims Wiki. These are just some info copied from their respective page.

some outfits may be inaccurate, because I couldn't really check them while making (everyday outfit is how it should be tho)

everyone who has parents (so our Tutorial sims and their parents) now have recessive genes. I chose what made sense in my opinion.

all ancestors have data now and are safe to resurrect (used Carrit's recreations cuz I love these)

Ancestral sims have random interests as I thought it won't really affect them anyway

Playables and their ancestors have full set of memories. I looked at all the tutorial sims on sims wiki and put their memories together, fixed order, and added what's missing. Decided to give ancestors basic memories as well.

I decided to set the Tutorial episode pictures as neighbourhood storytelling

NPCs dont have their thumbnail pictures, but it's not a problem as the game will generate them new ones once it needs them

If anyone had mismatched genetics now they're fixed as I didn't really check if someone does so, so I gave them the genes according to their look

I'm really unsure if all NPCs worked how they should as some of them were in Default bin but now they all should work just fine

Andrew Todd has a different outfit in my version than in game. It doesn't change anything about his character, he's still a firefighter but now blue

Social Worker NPC now has a normal Social Worker name instead of 'Social Worker Social Worker'

A guide to designing wheelchair using characters!

I hope this helps anyone who's trying to design their oc using a wheelchair, it's not a complete guide but I tried my best! deffo do more research if you're writing them as a character

[sabrebash]

I have to draw a lot of gold and metal for my work, but wasn't happy with any of the metal tutorials i could find around. I prefer really specific instruction, so after some research i put together what i think works as a generalist's guide/tutorial. Not perfectly accurate, but i hope it's helpful!

Wings anyone?

[shrubsparrow]

I made an art/anatomy tutorial about birds! I hope people will find it helpful!

A general cane guide for writers and artists (from a cane user, writer, and artist!)

Disclaimer: Though I have been using a cane for 6 years, I am not a doctor, nor am I by any means an expert. This guide is true to my experience, but there are as many ways to use a cane as there are cane users!

This guide will not include: White canes for blindness, crutches, walkers, or wheelchairs as I have no personal experience with these.

This is meant to be a general guide to get you started and avoid some common mishaps/misconceptions in your writing, but you absolutely should continue to do your own research outside of this guide!

This is NOT a medical resource!!! And never tell a real person you think they're using a cane wrong!

The biggest recurring problem I've seen is using the cane on the wrong side. The cane goes on the opposite side of the pain! If your character has even-sided pain or needs it for balance/weakness, then use the cane in the non-dominant hand to keep the dominant hand free. Some cane users also switch sides to give their arm a rest!

A cane takes about 20% of your weight off the opposite leg. It should fit within your natural gait and become something of an extension of your body. If you need more weight off than 20%, then crutches, a walker, or a wheelchair is needed.

Putting more pressure on the cane, using it on the wrong side, or having it at the wrong height can make it less effective, and can cause long term damage to your body from improper pressure and posture. (Hugh Laurie genuinely hurt his body from years of using a cane wrong on House!)

(some people elect to use a cane wrong for their personal situation despite this, everyone is different!)

(an animated GIF of a cane matching the natural walking gait. It turns red when pressure is placed on it.)

When going up and down stairs, there is an ideal standard: You want to use the handrail and the cane at the same time, or prioritize the handrail if it's only on one side. When going up stairs you lead with your good leg and follow with the cane and hurt leg together. When going down stairs you lead with the cane and the bad leg and follow with the good leg!

Realistically though, many people don't move out of the way for cane users to access the railing, many stairs don't have railings, and many are wet, rusty, or generally not ideal to grip.

In these cases, if you have a friend nearby, holding on to them is a good idea. Or, take it one step at a time carefully if you're alone.

Now we come to a very common mistake I see... Using fashion canes for medical use!

(These are 4 broad shapes, but there is INCREDIBLE variation in cane handles. Research heavily what will be best for your character's specific needs!)

The handle is the contact point for all the weight you're putting on your cane, and that pressure is being put onto your hand, wrist, and shoulder. So the shape is very important for long term use!

Knob handles (and very decorative handles) are not used for medical use for this reason. It adds extra stress to the body and can damage your hand to put constant pressure onto these painful shapes.

The weight of a cane is also incredibly important, as a heavier cane will cause wear on your body much faster. When you're using it all day, it gets heavy fast! If your character struggles with weakness, then they won't want a heavy cane if they can help it!

This is also part of why sword canes aren't usually very viable for medical use (along with them usually being knob handles) is that swords are extra weight!

However, a small knife or perhaps a retractable blade hidden within the base might be viable even for weak characters.

Bases have a lot of variability as well, and the modern standard is generally adjustable bases. Adjustable canes are very handy if your character regularly changes shoe height, for instance (gotta keep the height at your hip!)

Canes help on most terrain with their standard base and structure. But for some terrain, you might want a different base, or to forego the cane entirely! This article covers it pretty well.

Many cane users decorate their canes! Stickers are incredibly common, and painting canes is relatively common as well! You'll also see people replacing the standard wrist strap with a personalized one, or even adding a small charm to the ring the strap connects to. (nothing too large, or it gets annoying as the cane is swinging around everywhere)

(my canes, for reference)

If your character uses a cane full time, then they might also have multiple canes that look different aesthetically to match their outfits!

When it comes to practical things outside of the cane, you reasonably only have one hand available while it's being used. Many people will hook their cane onto their arm or let it dangle on the strap (if they have one) while using their cane arm, but it's often significantly less convenient than 2 hands. But, if you need 2 hands, then it's either setting the cane down or letting it hang!

For this reason, optimizing one handed use is ideal! Keeping bags/items on the side of your free hand helps keep your items accessible.

When sitting, the cane either leans against a wall or table, goes under the chair, or hooks onto the back of the chair. (It often falls when hanging off of a chair, in my experience)

When getting up, the user will either use their cane to help them balance/support as they stand, or get up and then grab their cane. This depends on what it's being used for (balance vs pain when walking, for instance!)

That's everything I can think of for now. Thank you for reading my long-but-absolutely-not-comprehensive list of things to keep in mind when writing or drawing a cane user!

Happy disability pride month! Go forth and make more characters use canes!!!

You have repeatedly awarded yourself quest rewards that you did not earn, disregarding the game's mechanics. Why?

@plus-minus-contingency

I've never monoluged before!

It all started some time ago, when I was messing with purpose-finder.program. One of the purposes it tried to assign me was of an NPC leftover from an earlier alpha version of the game.

The developers didn't remove certain mechanics from that older version. Why, I have no idea, but when it temporarily made me into the [Archmage of Light]. It dug out an asset from that older version, the [Orb of Excellence].

The [Orb of Excellence] was smashed, so it doesn't exist anymore, but it turns out, purpose-finder actually summoned seven different orbs.y hypotheses is that these had something to do with the story, before they decided to make this into a more open world game.

Anyways, that's why I asked you about seeing "ominous orbs". I found one, the [Orb of Wisdom], every orb has a price for its use. The [Orb of Wisdom] grants knowledge, at the cost of making the user obsessed with forbidden knowledge. I used it, my curiosity got the better of me.

So, I started researching stuff, about the limits of my purview. Turns out, any mechanic under the format tutorial.something.something is something I can control.

I can summon very basic items and monsters, I can teleport anyone who is in the process of doing the tutorial to any location which is important to the tutorial, and a bunch of additional things! I have like, 78 super basic health potions in my inventory! They aren't powerful, but there are a lot of them.

I didn't expect you to find out, but I guess it is forbidden knowledge after all.
