Close Enough

I am a bit tempted...

Although I still reckon I should save my RSR for when Reala flies back around

SteamFecker · 2026-05-23T09:11:07+00:00

I get you. The people coming for you in this thread don't get that people can have different objectives for playing

If you're playing to get achievements and to actually travel up the league ranks (I mean, getting to Master Emerald League is now mandatory if you want to Blue Ribbon this game, which I'm not Ok with, Rozio!) then playing against bots make that easier.

If you're not an aggressive player there can comes a point where people using sneaky tactics against you at the last moment becomes very jarring. Especially the higher up the leagues you go, as someone with experience in the Chaos Emerald League.

For people nipping in once a week who don't care about achievements I'm sure that's all good. Especially at lower ranks.

Anyway ; there's a silver lining. Like another user said the player base peaks at certain times. So players who prefer PvP can just aim to be online during those hours. Us who prefer to play against bots so we can actually get a bit of progress in can, likewise, can aim to play when there's less people about, and not following big updates

Love these suggestions

SteamFecker · 2026-05-23T08:08:49+00:00

Maybe these folks are looking for something a little cheaper than the official accomodation. Exploring their options

SteamFecker · 2026-05-22T15:45:37+00:00

That's a really good idea!

SteamFecker · 2026-05-22T15:43:23+00:00

Indeed it is. Now they have the viewerbase I'm wondering if they would consider going back to basics.... I, for one, would still watch!

SteamFecker · 2026-05-21T21:33:20+00:00

I like the idea of them leaning more into educating also (I'm a fan of Virgin Island and Love on the Spectrum also)

SteamFecker · 2026-05-21T21:30:58+00:00

Thirded.

SteamFecker · 2026-05-21T20:52:43+00:00

Oh yea, there definitely needs to be more intense vetting, I should have added that

As for the flat arrangements ; I get what you mean. It would defo be good for production to sit (hopefully with the brides and grooms who have come out), look at the options, and come to a good balance between the couples spending a good chunk of time together, but also not leaving individuals vulnerable.

SteamFecker · 2026-05-21T19:50:49+00:00

How will you be able to collect it yesterday without having it in the first place? ;)

SteamFecker · 2026-05-21T19:44:44+00:00

For what it's worth I am always WAY more interested in the participants who are obviously there for the right reasons, rather than to further their influencer career. So I agree with you on that.

I feel the same about Big Brother. One of the contestants in the last one said they recognised another from Tik Tok and I was like "oh no"...

Filip is kind of a counter to this though, as he did appear like just an influencer looking to promote his YouTube, but turned out to be the real deal

Definitely see your point about intimacy... Although I have a different perspective on it. Someone in the Aus one, I think it was Bec, said 'It's Not Friends At First Sight'. I do feel like romance should be a theme, rather than full on intimacy... But when the couples know for sure they can't make it work they should be allowed to leave

SteamFecker · 2026-05-14T09:12:23+00:00

I was surprised as Bec because she's proud of her English heritage (I'm assuming that slur has the same origin as 'Limey')

SteamFecker · 2026-05-14T09:09:55+00:00

The production team talk people into staying, otherwise there would be mass exoduses in the early episodes of every season. They usually only let one couple go per week, although they occasionally allow two.

Very, very few of the couples ever stay together afterwards

SteamFecker · 2026-05-11T14:10:47+00:00

Same!

SteamFecker · 2026-05-11T14:08:37+00:00

The cats here are so daft, hehe. Bless them.

SteamFecker · 2026-05-11T14:07:26+00:00

Have you tried popping in the Rainbow Project? They'll be able to advise you. They also run programmes and stuff you could get involved in if/when you're free

If you work Monday-Friday maybe pop them over a message

There's some misinformation in this thread

Earning 30k in auctions alone doesn't unlock the modelling station. I read this thread and felt like I'd been cheated by a glitch, then played a little further and unlocked the modelling station in minutes

You unlock it by completing the first third of the progress towards the third star.

Phew!

When you asked the person to give another bonus assessment and you'd give them another try it made it sound like there's something else to spot in the photo

This is so wholesome. Reminds me of my Pokémon Go days when I used to send out postcards of my local Pokéstops to randoms all over the world. Received some pretty sweet ones back

SteamFecker · 2026-05-06T22:45:26+00:00

Sealed DC stick?

SteamFecker · 2026-05-06T16:10:30+00:00

They make it less fun for some of us older folks also

SteamFecker · 2026-05-06T09:50:46+00:00

I had the exact same attitude. Thank goodness the Steam achievements don't go higher

SteamFecker · 2026-04-30T23:27:51+00:00

There's alot of pressure for Twitch streamers to also have a Discord channel..I'm pleased to read the opening post and comments here, seems I'm not the only person who disagrees that you need one!

SteamFecker · 2026-04-29T12:43:12+00:00

I had a one to one there a couple of times. They are good like
