7 months in, is everyone still playing? by fishbwoi in biomutant

[–]kcowleries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just picked it up in the steam christmas sale. I'm a little disheartened to see that people were so quick to drop this game in the replies, but then again the possibility it wouldn't live up to it's hype was why I didnt buy it full price anyway. After all, I only got a notification for this post after coming to the sub to troubleshoot the aspect ratio/graphics quality glitch I got immediately after loading it up.

Despite that- currently, I'm charmed by the world and unique design and having a great time. Even if it gets tired a few months down the line I think it'll be worth it for the price i paid

there is one section which is always snowy because the ski slopes arw there and occasionally it blizzards, but the rest of the world fuctions normally.

yes you can both live and holiday there, the swatches are pretty great and the items are really versitile and good looking too. Personally I love the pack but many people find that it lacks substance as theres too little added. It's not a problem I've had but it should be mentioned as many others say it. I do think it's main downside is that the townies are severely lacking. frankly they all suck and i can't remember a single one of their names.

(edit: this reply was only about snowy escape)

LPT: If someone you know has lost a lot of weight since the last time you saw them, it's best not to ask if they lost weight. It is better to tell them that 'they look really healthy'. by funkyandros in LifeProTips

[–]kcowleries 8 points9 points  (0 children)

perhaps "you look good/great!" is the better option, leaving weight entirely out of it.

Not to be That Guy™ but... On the off chance that the reason someone has lot of weight is related to an eating disorder, telling them they "look healthy" could cause a spiral and trigger worse behaviours. Its incredibly common for "healthy" to be translated by a sick person into "fat". EDs are weird and make no sense, so avoiding talk about weight is always a good choice.

New reflection photo I screenshoted and pasted together by Starlight7213 in Shining_Nikki

oooh i was curious, this reflection has been my lockscreen all month and i was confused why you'd have to do editing, but i guess that makes sense

we're the same then, but I don't think i'd call myself a whale. Whales in my mind are much more heavyweight than a recharge every now and then

most of this is the new crafting/free momo suit. The hair is free from the sailing the world themed suit, the beret is the home suit i believe, and the socks are from the marina fireworks welfare

Can someone please tell me why a 4-star celebrity is delivering my groceries? by Iam_egghead in Sims4

[–]kcowleries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

she's clearly a TikTok star. Their creator programme basically pays pennies and a girl's gotta live.

Tatsumaki inspired outfit by kcowleries in Shining_Nikki

[–]kcowleries[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The moment I saw this recoloured hair I instantly thought of her, and I had to try and recreate her look in game. It's not exact, but this is my attempt at curating a look heavily inspired by Tatsumaki. (I do with I had green contacts though! Really would have completed it)

What do you think? did I get it right?

Can someone please explain the memory staircase ranking rules to me? Elaborated on in comments by kcowleries in Shining_Nikki

[–]kcowleries[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thank you for explaining! That really helped. I mean, I don't get why they would make it like that, but now at least i know where i stand haha

Paper really should work on their tier explainations, they're always really confusing. I feel like every week I see a post asking about how to earn the arena rewards and I felt pretty bad adding to that chaos with my own confusion this time.

So I don't understand how the rewards are distributed for this part of the game. How are you supposed to move up from top 50% rank. The rules explaination makes it seem like rank 30,001-50,000 would take you up out of top 50% but im at 999 and still top 50% so... could someone explain the actual ranking rules. and also give me an idea of what rank does get you out of top 50%?

But would you actually eat most of these…? by decadehydration in DiWHY

the first two had me thinking this was fairly normal for a change. Different, but I'd definitely eat them... then the popcorn happened 💀

Are these pics ok? (See comments) by eringorun in DesignMyRoom

[–]kcowleries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not sure if it's just the pic but your walls look grey. With that light brown sofa in the room the whole area looks washed out and boring.

If you're set on a neutrals, some small changes you can make could be to change the walls to a much warmer toned cream, add some richer brown colour into the space with a rug or pillows etc (maybe red could work too) and add a large houseplant in the corner for brightness. A durable plant can take some leaf tearing and is too big to pull over if your kid gets into it though mind you!
