You could not pay me to touch that game with a 10ft pole. What a f*cking nightmare. Even EA isn't that aggressive (yet) with monetization.
When I see that sh*t, I'm even more willing to wait 6 more months for #Paralives. Take a year if you want, even (although now that you've announced 6 months, maybe it's best you stick to that).
Imagine making life simulation games and making them so cravenly soulless because the President of the country is counting on you for soft power sh*t. Incredible.
Paralives rimandato al 2026 per bug e città "vuota". Lo sviluppo è complesso, serve più tempo per la simulazione. I problemi saranno mostrati in live. Speriamo nel potenziale! #giochiindie #notizievideogiochi #paralives

Indie Sims-like Paralives delays early access release into next year after playtests prove it "isn't up to the standard we wanted it to meet"
This doesn't feel a WildCard-like delay to me, the kind that comes from negligence/incompetence and still delivers a suboptimized product eventually.
Instead, it feels like it's grounded in feedback they got, which they've historically always taken very seriously ; and it's going to lead to even more transparency and feedback, which will never be a bad thing in my book.
I don't doubt that a lot of people will hate this. I haven't dared open reddit yet XD
But I'm fine with it.

It's the 49th #DailBlogroll; that's 5 in blog years. Stories by me, Bhagpuss, @wilhelm_arcturus, @davew, Syp, @axxuy, @virtualmoose.org, Tobold, @Aywren, Azuriel and more!
Today I write about my thoughts on the EA Buyout, how it changes the way I feel about #TheSims, and looking into #Paralives early access as a possible change of pace.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL !
We have officially the PC requirements for Paralives, ahead of the December 8th release.
One month until #Paralives!!!!!
[Edit: This will be the early-access release. The full release won't be for another two years, if I'm understanding things right.]
Meanwhile, the gentleman scholar who is Concerned Ape is still lovingly shaping #HauntedChocolatier.
And I understand why it's taking so long, but I still await with bated breath the release of #Miegakure.
Not sure if this qualifies as a #ShareYourGames kind of post since it's a wishlist rather than a look into what I'm actually playing, but they're games I would like to be mine. 😛

I just saw a Youtuber start a video about #Paralives by doing a countdown.
So naturally they grabbed their phone and asked the AI how many days were left until December 8.
Because apparently that's a lot of math.
The Paralives team has posted a very helpful reminder of what Early Access will mean for the game. It's informative AND cute !
Make sure to check it out.
One more month, everyone ! May the countdown begin \o/
I'm going to be insufferable for the next month (...at least), since it releases on December 8th, but you have to understand, the tone of this video is pretty much my inner monologue when I think about Paralives.
Don't let the door hit you on the way not in 🤷♀️
Seriously, what is it with those people thinking that a life simulation game HAS to have paranormal gameplay ? Can't they just, oh I don't know, play a different game when they're in the mood for vampires, and play Paralives for other types of experiences ?!
And if really vampires are the only criteria, why would devs cater to these clearly non-Paralives tastes ?
I finally signed up for the #Paralives Patreon and I linked my discord as well. I love how excited folks are but man people are asking a lot for such a small team of folks. I hope they don't get disappointed. Like I just want them to make good on their planned list of what will be in early access and I'll be golden.
Not to mention, other aspects of body diversity.
Paralives will come with 3 default genders (F, M, and NB, if you look at the bottom right corner of the video I linked above there's also 3 dots, for further customization of gender characteristics), for instance. But I'll let this Youtuber get into the details better than I could :
