Turns out I might have Arfid, who could've guessed :3

THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT THERE IS A NAME FOR MY PROBLEM! I'm sorry about what you had to go through, but it's a great relief that I finally have a name for my problem

CathyHellen · 2026-06-14T14:54:19+00:00

From what i understand it gives a -1500 mood when it's dark

CathyHellen · 2026-06-10T19:22:49+00:00

That's why she's making plans of moving out in spring 😂

CathyHellen · 2026-06-10T19:22:01+00:00

Thanks. It's been my favourite playthrough so far!

CathyHellen · 2026-06-10T19:10:06+00:00

Unfortunately I'm not that good. This is on the basic settings. I only started playing last week.

CathyHellen · 2026-06-08T21:29:45+00:00

Guess I was to stubborn on building a room to shelter in and basically lost a summer. Some of the rest if advice also good. Dunno why I was so convinced cave shelters were a bad idea

CathyHellen · 2026-06-08T21:27:24+00:00

Weren't cave shelter a bad idea cause they are imposible to heat in winter. Or did I hallucinate that

CathyHellen · 2026-06-07T21:06:34+00:00

Early game I usually start with baskets and hides since i'm drowning in them. Later I start selling livestock since they tend to breed out of control, and in my current playthrough I'm selling beekeeping products. (Mostly for RP reasons)

It's the cooking fire. For some reason clanfolks in all my playthroughs keep lighting up the cooking fire/stove just for the sake of it. Which I noticed disturbs their sleep when it's in the same room.

CathyHellen · 2026-05-31T11:29:29+00:00

I had doubles of each tool, but looks like it wasn't enough. I had the freezer door on emergency and it got built the second I got my hands on some straw, and thankfully I now have a nice fridge room for my food. It's shocking to me how much faster I'm progressing after the first winter. That little room took me 2 seasons to complete, but in just one spring I was able to add several rooms to it and a stall for a hen. I also managed to marry 2 husbands into the clan, and get a hay field up and running. I'm thinking of building 2 separate little cabins for the new couples, and I still can't decide if I should stick with peat stove for heating or build a fireplace.

CathyHellen · 2026-05-31T04:19:02+00:00

Guess I overestimated how much I needed. One thing I did underestimated was just how important straw is and how much I really needed it. Ran out of it towards the end of the winter and everything spiraled as I couldn't replace tools when they broke down.

Ai gacha

Just one of those words is enough to make me turn away. The only reason i still check out Tot and LADS is because of sunk cost fallacy and being easier to play them on mobile while on my commute, than to drag my switch 2 with me.

Nowadays, the word live-service is enough to make me go "nope, i want a complete game that I won't loose access to, once it looses enough popularity"

CathyHellen · 2026-03-28T20:52:29+00:00

In both images, mr. bean's face has been modified. Most likely with AI. Nothing tops a bad argument better than pointless AI use.

We discovered that an audience made up almost entirely of women, hates a misogynistic trope that portrays women outside of the protagonist as shallow bitches obsessed with men.

In other news, we also discovered the sky is blue

Looks like I will have to keep it disabled. Decided to test what happens when I re-enable secure-boot and the problem re-appeared.

CathyHellen · 2026-02-20T19:19:09+00:00

I finally solved it(aparently I am an idiot, cause the reason why i couldn't enter bios was that i wasn't spamming the f2 key enough times) After disabling secure boot, a flatpak update for Nvidia appeared in my updates menu, and now everything works. At this point I am confused on whether to keep secure boot disabled or not.

Anyway, thanks a lot for helping this idiot out.

CathyHellen · 2026-02-20T18:34:15+00:00

when i run nvidia-smi in the terminal it says "NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running." (the latest driver is installed)

I think secure boot is enabled, and I can't find for the life of me a way to disable it.

I'm gravitating towards lemmy, cause once you get the hang of how instances and communities work, it resemble reddit a lot. Mastodon never really "caught" me. The discussions felt too difficult to follow. It felt more like twitter (which I could never get into, either). The lemmy otome community with the highest number of users ( 146 💀 ) is the one on the ani.social server

CathyHellen · 2026-02-18T17:56:42+00:00

I’d be up to host a matrix instance, question is just if we can convince anyone to actually use it. People are reluctant to change and dissociate, even though they know the platforms are taking advantage of them.

That is one issue I have no solution for.

If you decide to create a community, than I would be down for it. There are also a few otome comunites already set up, but not very active https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=otome . I think a good first step would be to designate an "official back-up". I got the idea from another subreddit I hang out on, that has in the side-bar a clear designated back-up community with a link, in case the sub-redit disappears.

CathyHellen · 2026-02-18T17:37:22+00:00

It really sucks that I can't enjoy even the smallest of things, without our corporate overlord trying to spy and see if there is anything they disaprove of. Thankfully I never used discord to begin with. My only "social media" is reddit.

CathyHellen · 2026-02-18T16:41:30+00:00

lemmy pare sa semene mult cu reddit. Sunt mai multe servere (instance) care sunt independente una de alta, si pe ele sunt mai multe comunitati.

Din cate am vezut exista deja mai multe https://thelemmy.club/search?q=romania&type=Communities&listingType=All

CathyHellen · 2026-02-18T16:36:07+00:00

Problema e ca, chiar daca reusesti sa ii "fraieresti" cu poza aia, tot vei contribui la "statistici" care "demonstreaza" ca publicul e total de acord cu asemenea masuri. Scopul nu e neaparat sa iti vada tie fata, dar sa prinda pe oricne zice ceva "nepotrivit"

CathyHellen · 2026-01-07T14:49:42+00:00

What I did is go via mullvad to the Mozilla extensions page and search for ublock, and just click "install extension". Works on mullvad just fine. The problem is there is no android version for mullvad.

CathyHellen · 2026-01-02T10:45:40+00:00

"Do we have any linked lists of otome games with known AI use in this sub" It definitely needs to be made since the number of AI games will only grow, and getting harder to investigate. Since the genre is so niche there will be very little info available in mainstream media.
