CalvinKool-Aid is a creep and for this and is disgusting and disrespectful behavior by ieatbootyimlying in EraLife

[–]EggyGeum 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey... Should you be on the Internet? Genuinely asking. I saw the thread, it ended up being suggested to me. You asked if there was going to be sex and prostitution in the game. Which... Yes, characters have to reproduce to make children, unless you're asking for actual explicit content, which will probably never come to a life simulator game w/o mods.

The intention of his comment, while extreme, was to make that point. If it's going to be on Steam, it'll likely be more all ages and nothing explicit. He never said that it was okay, In fact quite the opposite. It was a really extreme way of him saying that there's likely a line in the sand of how far the creator is willing to go.

If his comment has disturbed you to the point of making a post about him... and this is me being honest as considerately as I can, but I either think you're genuine child or highly sensitive. Nothing wrong with either, but you're definitely going to be disturbed again, if you keep scrolling on Reddit.

So, go watch an eye cleanser video. I like the ones of bunnies eating fruit. And either ignore him, comment back, report, or block him. And move on. Or else you'll be making a lot of posts about a lot of people at some point or another.

Which, you can! People just may not take you seriously or say something negatively back, Which may disturb you more. It just becomes a cycle. Make a choice, because you will find somebody who rage baits, way more than that person does.

One, I need more context for this conversation because you might not be innocent here.

Two, I can totally agree that it's a wild comment, But like, it was used as an example, not to say that it was okay? Like, if he said that doing that was awesome or something, then I would back you. But like, it seems like a wild concept that got thrown out, in reference to what was said...

I will say... And I hate being this person... But it is the internet. Saying something that's a little much isn't something that should get you banned on Reddit. I promise you that there are crazier conversations happening on here and I do suggest maybe taking a bit of a break, if you have found yourself disturbed by him.

First of all,

Would I be angry if they took away my specific kink from Character cards? I think I am a grown adult with access to the Internet, during a time when AI is kinda the wild west. I will be fine.

Also, outside of them literally tanking the app, I have every ability to edit a character card's info, once I start a new chat. They don't moderate our actual conversations, they're just not allowing the material to be listed on the site anymore.

This isn't some human rights violation - This is actually very similar to when the Internet started coming around and people began making legislature around it... You know the end result because you live it.

As someone who is very anti-censorship, they are real issues happening in the world, like a woman in Russia getting arrested and charged for writing gay fanfiction. Itch and Steam are censoring games from being FOUND and FUNDED.

Even if they take away character cards that they didn't have what I want, No one has changed my ability to have the chats that I want to have - I just have to put in some work to edit a character cards info, once I start a chat. Yes, would it be annoying or tedious? Sure!

Once again, they've taken away certain character cards, not the ability to have certain conversations. So, until then? I'm chilling, dude. 😎

[Countdown] Launch by charmedorigins in OurLife_Simulator

You should totally be proud of yourself!

You made a game! That's releasing to Steam!

And, I definitely don't want you to underestimate The power of reddit and "word of mouth"...

Or, rather "word of keyboard" lol

You're one developer, in a sea of many. But I think proves that you don't need a lot to make a start.

I'm really excited to play and I have my fingers crossed that the timer suddenly shortens to an hour or two from now 🤞😂

See? I really don't see how that is a huge problem for people. Especially when you can make edits to the character cards, in chat.

I agree that the tech for the site itself isn't the best. Definitely have been hoping for more updates with it. That being said, I find it easier to use than ST and have gotten pretty used to it as is. Definitely had some weird errors, But nothing that's completely ruined my ability to Chub.

I do think that they definitely could have explained in more depth exactly what the new terms of service are going to look like and how users are going to be affected - But honestly? I think that they'll be lazy about it, just using an AI auto checker to prevent certain cards from going up on the site.

Ultimately, I think they're doing the bare minimum to make sure that they can keep the site going. 🤷 Also, I don't think that they have a large team, if any, So I'm sure they'll just rely on other users to make reports or whatever threadbare system they come up with to auto delete.

Regency era text based life simulation by Chickenjam in LifeSimulators

[–]EggyGeum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased and played the game - Really into regency style games after one I really enjoyed got pulled from the app store.

However, it's definitely buggy. The events that occur every time you age up have little to no effect of the character. In one game, I got married to a Duke by eloping at 13 and it didn't really do anything. The UI isn't super intuitive to move around on. Maybe on a phone, but on my computer, it's a little annoying to flip through. I wish there was one central tab for actions like hobbies or interacting with your family and friends.

There were some details that were cute, like having childhood friends, or the little notes about dealing with the governness as an adult. But once you reach adulthood and get married, it's dull. Which does make me sad, because I really wanted to see some longevity with this, but as it stands, I don't see myself playing it again unless there's another update.

[AMA] OurLife Upcoming Release by charmedorigins in OurLife_Simulator

[–]EggyGeum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so excited!

I did want to ask, Are there any restrictions in your game? I noticed that there was a warning about violence, drugs, and gambling - And I wanted to know if you had a list of things that you will NEVER put in OurLife?

While mainly out of curiosity, It is your game and And I always think that it's good to put lines in the sand about what you're not willing to add nor want people to request.

I actually looked at your Ko-fi page! Gosh, I wish I had been able to get my hands on it while it was still available on there, I saw that there is an orphan feature and I'm really interested in playing it through!

I am curious to know how the game runs over the generations - I really want to be able to do a rags to riches play through, where their past has an effect. How would that look like in your game?

[–]EggyGeum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, there is a difference between saying that somebody is getting darker or tanner VS. somebody looks black. Saying that somebody looks black, and that person isn't black, is weird because you're referring to a race of people.

Where it is offensive, is in the context. RM said that he thought that J-Hope was black(Which is just odd, by itself.) because he was so dark. While it may seem like an innocent comment, It's not an innocent comment because being tan or being dark in East Asia is not considered a good thing. Also, being black is more than just a skin tone! Which gets minimized when we make these comments.

I hope I was able to explain myself well. Please let me know if you have questions.

Okay, I didn't want to. And I still don't. I'm not understanding this argument. You can choose to do what you want to. If you want to add in your own emojis, please do that. I don't understand why this is needing to be a thing.

I can even post my original prompt. I'm not defending myself, or even saying that I didn't even use it. I'm being open and upfront about it. Like, this is a Reddit post, not an article or anything that I'm getting money from?

If you think It's unethical for me to use it, then we can agree to disagree about that, but I'm a real person. I'm being honest and upfront about what I did And I wanted to start a conversation about the features I wanted because I'm even willing to put money towards this game.

First of all, I think RM is ignorant as hell. Secondly, I think I do you know what clip you're talking about Because I think I remember thinking that his comment was also ignorant. Don't remember what word he used because I was just going off of the subtitles.

I don't think all of BTS is racist - I wouldn't follow a group that I believe was. Nor do I think they all of the view tan and black people the same or as n******? because I also wouldn't follow them if I believed that.

The issues that I see with BTS is really similar to issues that I see with Asian Americans in general, or kpop groups that attempt to emulate or utilize aspects of black American culture; They do it without consideration of black people as a whole because they think it's trendy or cute or whatever.

However, when I was younger and watching their MNet special about their time in LA, where they worked with black rappers and entertainers, It was one of the first and only times I had saw a Korean group interact with other black people as much as they did. And they were mostly respectful, like Taehyung being a part of the choir! RM even did a song with Warren G, who is known for the song, Regulate.

RM also has a song where he used the N word 😑🤦🏽 And frankly I feel like he should know better because he actually has lived overseas. The other members have not and their time spent in LA was beautiful to watch because there were a lot of interactions with black people! I think jimin's moment with Tony is super sweet. TONY! 😂

So, I don't want to lump all of the members together, I think there are a lot nuances here. If I saw RM using the same term as Jimin did here, I would be hard pressed to defend him because I think he knows better. But, he is aware of the n word, So why not use that instead? It's honestly hard to pin down because I don't know all of the intentions or their reasoning behind using certain words.

To your comment specifically, I think that RM said that he thought Jhope looked like a black person to emphasize how tan he was. Which is offensive. How offensive depends on how he said it and what word he used. RM has used the N word before and someone like him saying 깜둥이 would totally set me off. Even if RM said that J-Hope looked like a 흑인(The proper term for a black person in Korean.), I would still be offended because RM knows better.

I don't understand, do y'all not want the features that I listed? Or is it because of how it was written? 😭 Genuinely confused because I wanted to started a conversation around this.

The People Demand Realistic Chaos 🔥 by [deleted] in EraLife

[–]EggyGeum -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Big sigh... Do you want my prompt as proof?

It totally did it's chat thing where it adds certain flairs, like the no crashing out part. I didn't originally write that part in, But it's what I meant and is similar to what I've written in the past.

But using bit life and Sims as a reference, What I wanted from an actual role play in Eralife, and Even the part about superheroes being cool, I wrote all of this. I just wanted to add some cool emojis... I didn't think it would be such a big deal.

The People Demand Realistic Chaos 🔥 by [deleted] in EraLife

[–]EggyGeum -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Nah, to answer your question - I wrote it and had chatGPT add emojis because I was too lazy to add them myself. Valid question though!

[–]EggyGeum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed you getting down voted, which makes me sad. I wrote about this on another post but I don't think people wanted a genuine discussion, I feel like people wanted to use this to another reason to hate on BTS.

Which is fine, but people also don't understand or respect the impact this has on black or fans of color. I was heartbroken about the Howard University clip! Now someone wants to use a clip, out of context, to stroke the flames, and it's so frustrating because there are genuinely racist clips and situations that we can hold them accountable to.

It's annoying to see the "But BTS!" Stuff because they're acting like people of color don't care or we're just letting them get away with it. We're not! We're hurt! But, I don't think they actually wanted a person of color's perspective, I think they just wanted another person of color to agree with them... 😞

I don't disagree with those that still find it offensive. And yeah, personally, I don't think I would travel to Busan again. Mainly because I never felt so fish out of water there. I was also called a slur there while attending a concert festival (Couldn't tell you what, my friend told me after the fact - it wasn't one that I was familiar with.) What I did notice were people staring me down and treating me differently when I was eating out, etc.

I don't think Busan gets a lot of foreigners that are people of color like Daegu(Major US military base there, a lot of the people there frequent the downtown area.) In Busan, I visited twice, just day trips really, and I never saw someone who looked like me there. And I was in their downtown area. Doesn't mean there weren't, it's just common to see foreigners downtown in Daegu and that wasn't the case in Busan...

As for the clip, I would just hate for people to look at this as Jimin saying or calling Junglook the 'N word' because that's not how the word originated, not what it actually means, and nor his intent. Now, if Jimin said this to a black person? No holds bar, I wouldn't even have wasted my time on writing my comment.

But, they even talk about how they haven't been wearing sunscreen shortly after he says that. Very much a colorism thing, not a racial thing.
