Today im going to complain about videogames on tumblr. Anyway so ive been getting back into Sky:CoTL lately (those whove known me for that long. Hi) and catching up on all the stuff ive missed in the last 1.5~2 years has been fun, ill admit, it feels like playing the game for the first time again to a degree, but it's also been highlighting issues with the game that havent been fixed in its 5 year run already. Either new issues or just things that have been there since i played the game. Which was before the game had even hit its 2nd anniversary.
My main issue lately has been getting familiarised with the proper implementation of Props and Decoration items...I think adding a more customiseable space was a very fun addition to the game, giving players the ability to make their own custom hangout Spaces for themselves and others to enjoy, and even something like the Nest are imo incredibly cute and fun ways to spice up the game for players new and old, giving people somethibg more to do beyond the repeptitve grind loop for cosmetics. But here's where the issues come in...
I was there when non-interactable/decorative props were first being introduced. Season of Assembly was the first time we really properly got to see the implementation of Spaces and area decoration beyond table/chat props. It was pretty obvious at the time that assembly and the introduction of props to travelling spirits was a way for tgc to test the waters with props, making them fairly cheap too, both in the season and in the TS trees. But now, seeing the ingame prices of these props i was. Genuinely kind of baffled. Theres something that rubs me the wrong way about pricing props at such high ingame prices (hearts specifically), now that decoration and props are properly implement and Part of the gameplay. Having what is now Generally a core part of the game be so inaccessible to people who dont play frequently. Hearts are still nototriously difficult to get and making decorating your own little space so Grindy just feels. Bad.
Idk im yapping here. ein out thats all for today

man, i’m not sure why i always imagined hooper lived a bit aways, but i was rewatching jaws last night and he probably just lives directly on the mainland from amity, huh?
we know he’s from “the oceanographic institute on the mainland”, and to me that phrasing implies it must be pretty close to be THE institute and not just AN institute. we also know that amity is either a smaller island right by martha’s vineyard or it just… straight up is martha’s vineyard (with a different name of course). based on this, hooper probably works for the woods hole oceanographic institute, and woods hole is directly on the mainland from martha’s vineyard! less then an hour ferry right between em! hooper could totally come down and spend weekends with the brodys and quint or he could probably even MOVE to amity and just have a moderately long commute every morning…

the fact that overbooking flights is legal and airlines don’t have to go above and beyond to find you either the earliest flight possible or the most convenient stay possible is going to make me a t3rr0r1st. what the fuck do you mean you can only give me a flight three days from now and i have to find my own accommodation, unless i pay for an earlier flight and also have to find my own accommodation. how the fact is it legal to sell something you don’t have

so like, i think my nana has definitely forgotten me now. like, mum said she couldn't remember us grandkids on a phonecall once, but also she's said that nana had later asked about us and her memory has been really inconsistent the whole year, but even knowing all that it was just weird sitting next to her at lunch today when she was so distant and just, different with me
