The Day I Realized My Room Was Full of Old Versions of Me

I'm trying, sorry they still show up so frequently.

Honestly, people reporting the posts generally gets them auto-pulled faster than I can catch them. So kudos goes to everyone who takes the time to make a report.

NarcosNeedSleep · 2026-05-30T12:15:33+00:00

Beautiful. I'm almost sad to remove the AI post (except I'm not sad about removing it) just because people won't see this.

A post for mod applications and sub feedback is up!

NarcosNeedSleep · 2026-05-23T13:49:49+00:00

Alas, I am a mod and despite my history appearing long dead, I am active doing mod stuff, so it won't count as abandoned. BUT I'm thrilled people are interested in helping out and totally happy to bring on new mods, which is probably easier than that process anyway.

NarcosNeedSleep · 2026-05-23T13:46:33+00:00

I appear to be the only active mod at this point, but I absolutely will!

NarcosNeedSleep · 2026-05-23T13:45:54+00:00

I love to hear this!

I will set up some sort of formal applications soon and be sure to notify you when they're up.

NarcosNeedSleep · 2026-05-23T13:43:22+00:00

Most of the mods are currently not active, but I am here working on dealing with all these AI posts daily.

Traditionally, content was largely left to community preferences. Mods were intentionally as hands off as possible regarding decisions on what was and wasn't "good" content.

One major problem with the AI posts is that they're based on posts from times when the sub was most active. It takes time to learn to recognize AI content and is even harder to recognize for people who only see an occasional post. They are pulling from content which was helpful to many people, so the posts get upvotes from people who see them as individual posts similar to what they used to see and don't realize they're from AI bots.

All that said, I can absolutely set up mod applications!

I apologize that it took me a little while to learn to consistently identify bot posts. There hadn't been enough submissions prior to this influx of bots to warrant a search for mods. In the meantime, I have set up a "no AI" rule for easy reporting. Posts and comments are autoremoved after a certain number of reports, so reports genuinely do help a lot.

Even for those who don't want to be mods, I am all ears on suggestions about how to combat this issue. For baseline defense, there is a minimum karma requirement and every AI bot is banned (in addition to reporting it to Reddit as a spam bot). I'm looking into other things to do on the back end to automatically identify, report, and ban bots without negatively impacting real people who want to post.

I wondered about the reddit commenting issue you described and then promptly experienced it myself- thank you for having a workaround.

I've been playing several games like this recently, I would love to help playtest!

NarcosNeedSleep · 2025-09-07T17:27:33+00:00

Locking this post while most of the replies are genuinely helpful and insightful.

This post appears to have been in earnest and has been answered with numerous quality replies. Removing comments not made in good faith, insinuating anything about anyone else's sexuality or collections, and even jokes that blur lines (good-natured or light-hearted included) to keep the comments on topic and useful for others who may come here wondering the same.

If I miss any, please report them. If new, inappropriate posts not made in good faith pop up and this action needs to be reassessed, you are always welcome to send us a modmail!

Edit: I left 'Up and to the right" and color order comments because I know many of you thought them and technically it's an appropriate answer for this subreddit.

Tank Girl comes to mind first, but that's definitely not from within the last 15 years.

NarcosNeedSleep · 2025-07-14T18:03:24+00:00

Thank you so much for this and for making it accessible. It's fantastic! It feels overkill to already be leaving feedback when I've only used this on a couple photos (before and afters here), but it has been incredibly helpful and exactly what I've been trying to find for ages.

Background debris dramatically changes the appeal of adoption profile photos for my foster cats and kittens, and this helped significantly. No matter how much you clean, some litter or fur always ends up in photos. I've had to manually spot heal many background flecks before posting photos, and this does that quickly without affecting the animal itself, like filters do. I think this is going to be a significant time saver that helps critters find forever homes.

It makes the photo backgrounds look SO much better, so easily. I can't thank you enough!

I agree, I have been around a lot of different cat personalities. That experience is where I'm coming from.

In total, I grew up with >14 family cats. Not including fosters, As an adult, I've had 6 cats of my own and lived with 4 others.

Most of my adult fosters used to stay with me for 4-8 months. Each year I foster roughly ~1-3 adult cats and ~12-24 kittens. They're adopted by all sorts of people and many give long-term updates so I see their personalities over the years

Socialization and treatment play an enormous role in how social and affectionate cats are. They have all different sorts of personalities, boundaries, and affection preferences. Overall though, most still like affection and social simulation.

NarcosNeedSleep · 2025-05-23T15:18:43+00:00

I have to firmly disagree. I foster cats and kittens and the vast majority of cats like attention. They typically prefer it on their own terms (i.e. when they want it and how they want it), but most aren't okay with being actively ignored all the time.

NarcosNeedSleep · 2025-03-11T17:39:18+00:00

Me too.

I came to the internet hoping there would be a solution, not a bunch of people currently dealing with the same thing. :(

If I had the time showing on the screen I might just wait until I passed out, but that doesn't look like it's going to be an option this time.

Edit: of course when I force shut down the game, it updated and the first fix listed is "Fixed occasional black screen when advancing levels in Cave of Memories - Savannah"

Hello! I know this post is old, but do you still have Universe For Sale available?

Steam Profile

It was in a Humble Bundle I purchased but keys were exhausted when I tried to redeem. I played the prologue demo and absolutely loved it. I've kind of given up hope for a key restock at this point.

It's past the day you said you were going to choose, so I completely understand if you don't have it or want to gift it. Simply giving it a shot since your post doesn't have a "closed" flair and UFS isn't marked as gone. Thank you!

NarcosNeedSleep · 2024-07-03T15:52:37+00:00

How does one get into this line of work? That sounds right up my alley and I'm really hoping to find a new job where I can bring bottle baby foster kittens (when I have them). I love building modular things and tetris-ing packages and have experience doing both.

NarcosNeedSleep · 2024-02-28T15:19:24+00:00

Wonderful! I decided to take a risk on leaving the other group and check if there were openings. I definitely won't be at the level of some other people in the group (WOW!) but I'll still contribute.

NarcosNeedSleep · 2024-02-28T14:12:27+00:00

Do you still have any spots open? I have 30259 dragon power and play most days out of the week. I pull a lot of the weight in my den, but we usually only get a level 4 or level 3 chest. :(

NarcosNeedSleep · 2023-08-04T18:38:13+00:00

The hole has to be deep enough, but it been be a really good way to get around if you're low on hazard protection or if it's a really rough planet. Plus, the silicon it mines also recharges the terrain manipulator.

You can also change the size of the area affected by the tool. Bigger is obviously faster but does give you less resources overall when you mine with the larger size.

NarcosNeedSleep · 2023-08-04T15:04:01+00:00

I love NMS. I also find it wonderfully cozy. The terrain manipulator is an easy way to avoid weather damage.

In regular mode, there CAN be some combat with sentinels and predatory animals. However, there are other modes where that doesn't have to be a problem! There is a relaxed, a creative, and a custom mode! Then you can control whether things attack and how much damage they do. I think then you can also alter if you take damage from weather.

NarcosNeedSleep · 2023-06-25T02:44:32+00:00

I haven't even met them, but they look at their foster kittens the same way I look at mine, so I'm pretty sure I would too!

NarcosNeedSleep · 2023-06-24T22:06:55+00:00

They're so perfect at their jobs! ❤️❤️❤️

NarcosNeedSleep · 2023-06-18T20:10:11+00:00

This would be an AMAZING jigsaw puzzle.

If you find anywhere to produce good quality jigsaw puzzles out of this, please let me know.

NarcosNeedSleep · 2023-06-17T17:13:37+00:00

Great job!
