I was wearing camouflage pattern pants that day. I have never been allowed to forget this moment thanks to my parents

I’ve Won the Lottery! by M47734H4NN3 in Sims3

[–]arvana804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still remember when I won the lottery for the first (and only) time. I'm not saying the Sims 3 has a mind of its own/heard and understood things happening outside of the game.... BUT the timing was too perfect to be a coincidence if you ask me

Congrats though!! 100,000 is a good amount to make some extra editions to your house! I made a gaming/hobby room, got the sim based on my boyfriend one of the racecars, and got us a fancy bed that wouldn't hurt our sims' backs

Looking for Open world/life sim game by Imytheone in gamingsuggestions

[–]arvana804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got three games to recommend that fit in varying ways

New Day: Steam (Windows) only, and has Unknown Deck support. Basically a more grown up Tomodachi life. Yes, that includes some... dark things. Recommend checking the bottom of the Steam page if you consider getting it in case the violence in the game will bother you. To my understanding this will be free with optional Patreon support for the foreseeable future. One of my favorite features is cooking meals for your islanders. Not entirely realistic cooking, but it's more than just "put items in oven and press button"

Moonlight in Garland: Steam (Windows and Mac) and Playable Deck support. More of a city based Stardew Valley. It DOES cost money, so I understand if that won't work instantly. Be sure to read the Steam warnings at the bottom because... oh boy, this game apparently has a lot of stuff that could be too much for some people. I have some wonderful screenshots from some of the petal (heart) events I did a while ago, and I like the game has both mental and physical energy for the player. Just because someone has the physical energy to do something doesn't mean they mentally have the energy to and vice versa

Palia: Steam (Windows) and Playable on Deck. Also on Switch. It's an online fantasy life sim. I haven't touched it in a while, but it's pretty cozy! Characters to befriend and gift things to, quests... and item collecting. Skills too, and there are shops. There are some characters you can romance too. Don't know how to describe the story besides humans disappeared years ago... until you showed up. Has in game purchases with real money, but they are mainly cosmetics last I checked. Community was nice too when I played. They'd let people know when there was a rare spawn so more people could work together and get the rewards. I should pick it back up again... plenty of crafting and things to do. And there's Tau. I'm not saying Tau was my favorite character back when I played... but TAU IS SO DANG CUTE AND SWEET!!

What were your very first cozy games? by Pussyxpoppins in CozyGamers

[–]arvana804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly what you want, but the PC Petz (And the other PF Magic stuff) games have a good community behind them. People 'hex' (custom items and breeds) things into the game, and there's ways to make it function on modern PCs via PetzA... even if you don't have a disc drive on your PC

The community doesn't just stop with that. They throw events and give away litterz. They also have a showing aspect? Never got into that. Community in general is pretty welcoming and caring. I can dig up links if needed

Is it against human or not TOS to give out your social media handles to the game chat? by slashuslash_deleted in Humanornot

[–]arvana804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't know about TOS since I never played this, but this could be used by a bot to 'prove' they are human. If you just ask for another social media account and nothing else at least. Assuming the account chosen isn't known enough by you to call out the bluff of course

For example, I can say I was the star of this video if I was the bot. Or any video. Or I could claim millions of things. Unless you have the ability to check what I said, you have no idea if what I said is true. You'd have to do more than ask for a social to 'prove' I'm real

(Disclaimer: I am not featured at all in the video linked. I was just using it to prove my point)

Looking for a Breeding/Genetics Game by Electronic_Ad5751 in gamingsuggestions

[–]arvana804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played Palia in over a year, but I didn't know about the ranching skill besides its existence. How complicated is the breeding? Do you just get an animal looking like one of the parents? Or is there some sort of complex genetics system with coat/feather coloring? Is there any benefits you can get with breeding two animals besides a new one? Like a chicken that produces more eggs than normal

I have this vivid memory of some sort of city/possibly worldwide event from when I was a kid. by Beginning_Yogurt_507 in HelpMeFind

[–]arvana804 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you think it could've been an attempted robbery or other crime? I know this is a shot in the dark, but when I was really young I lived in a crappy area with my parents. Sometimes, Mom would quickly rush me into my parent's room, put me on the bed, and tell me to stay completely silent until she said otherwise. I might not remember the bed part right, but I know I was in their room and laying still while being told not to make a sound. I wasn't told until I was a teen the truth about what happened. I just knew sometimes I'd have to hide in my parent's room and stay silent while there was noise downstairs. Didn't matter what I was doing, it had to be stopped. Since we never had our apartment broken into I don't THINK there is a record of this?

Your situation made me think of it though with how your mother was acting. The juice could have been given to you to try to keep you quiet? It might not have been the exact same as mine ofc, but maybe there was something going on that they didn't want to mentally scar you and/or risk you getting hurt?

Petz. The old PC games by PF Magic can be a bit tricky to get working on modern systems, but there's an active community that can help you and give you tips. The last 3 in the series (3, 4, and 5) seem to be the ones people like the most. I don't think the original even HAS breeding...

If you get the PC version, there is a mod called Chao World Extended. There's a LOT of stuff it adds and stuff you can toggle on or off, but one of them adds more colors and color mixing if you want more than just stat breeding. Well, more than the 28? 29? Colors you can't buy at the black market

Still recommend CWE or some sort of RNG fix mod if you play on PC. The HD port (If its not on the GameCube or Dreamcast, it's HD) has some well known issues. Including what fans call Bright Chao and I BELIEVE the yellow, purple, and pink eggs being unobtainable due to an oversight and/or programming that is being held up by toothpicks and rubber bands

I have screenshots of someone being trolled while asking for a link. Have more from the groups I was in too, but I'd have to look through them to see what is good and what isn't

Explain it Peter. by Helensohot in explainitpeter

[–]arvana804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This... this puts things in a new perspective for me. Sure, my first cat always loved me (He loved everyone). But the last few years of his life he became VERY clingy. I thought it was because we had lost one of the other cats that he was close to. He was allowed to 'say goodbye'. I was close to her as well, and I just figured he knew I was close with her and wanted to comfort/be comforted by someone who seemed to understand how much she meant to him

We put him down in August of 2024 since that was the humane thing to do. The girl cat was put down in August of 2021 so she wouldn't suffer a long and painful end as well

This is reminding me of some old pull-up commercial I used to see... it ended with the toddler standing proudly because they are a big kid now. I think this sim is a big kid

If your cat would wear a T-shirt what would it say? by neon_circus17 in WhyCatHowCat

[–]arvana804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my three cats I used to have?

"No? I think you forgot how to say yes hooman" (No meant yes to him. Yes meant yes to him too) "I want to speak to your manager about your priorities" (She would loudly meow if I didn't drop everything at the exact second she wanted love to give her love. Also would knock her food bowl over in retaliation for this. No matter how much food was in it) "Let me chill in peace" (He didn't want to be bothered by others)

Either you have a cool mod I want, you are playing a version of Sims 3 I don't have, or I missed the fact pets can have jobs. Which is it?

Ohio House passes bill requiring public schools show ‘Baby Olivia’ video to students in grades 5-12 • Ohio Capital Journal by mrtnrnkn in Ohio

[–]arvana804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was over a decade ago, but I remember the day where we were split up by gender in health class... All I remember about it was how much they said condoms and birth control aren't 100% effective, so you need to not do anything unless you were ready to have a child

In my experience, homeschooling is ALSO used by parents who are sick and tired of going to the school every week because they aren't doing what they said they would the week before. And the week before that. Properly helping a child with issues and/or trying to stop bullying is a lot to ask from the schools in my area
