After 97 (98 counting the wolf from the beginning) deaths, I can say that I FINALLY BEAT MY FIRST (90 percent) BLIND BLOODBORNE RUN. DID IT. SPOILERS FOR ENDING.
And so, this is the last Bloodborne Run update and I know I skipped much. Last update, I defeated Rom. Killed Master Logarious after learning you can just visceral attack him to stop him from going into his second phase, Alligned myself with the Vilebloods, gave Alfred the Summons and was shocked yet not shocked to see him going crazy (I didn’t expect him to turn the Queen to mush) and then turns out he just… dies at the altar. I was so sad to see that, my only friendly person just dead, probably by offing himself.
Played a game of tag with Micolash and died once to the people on the stairs, and found a glitch that he just stands right by the cell door when I was fighting off the skeletons and hit it, so I did not kill him the intended way but I did not want to play tag anymore it was 4am. Gained access to Upper Cathedral Ward, lost a lot of Insight by the brain suckers and fought the blue alien people in the Lumenflower Gardens, defeated Mergo’s Wet Nurse and went to check on the lady in white who peaced out after the boss.
The Dream’s on fire, went to the handicapped old man Gehrman at the tree and refused his offer, of which cured his kneecaps and slaughtered me throughly right before I would reach his Second Phase. Since it was endgame, I decided to explore more. Found the Altar of Despair and with the help of NPC acting as a distraction and the fact I was over leveled by this point, killed the Daughter of Cosmos and accidentally revived Queen Annalise making Alfred surely turn beyond the ‘grave’, I’m sorry man. Found the Darkbeast Paarl who by this point, was easily bodied and made peace with Djura, the man with the machine gun until I realized it is endgame, and me probably has loot. So I killed him, then the guy in the Forbidden Woods, and the other guy who came cause I killed the other guy and got a whistle out of it and forgot to kill the Ward man.
DLC was on sale and I am not counting those deaths literally, the hunters in the first arena wrecked me and their weapons have unfair range, Ludwig wrecked me, got a glow stick out of it, the two guys in the hall wrecked me. Got to the Research Hall and gave a woman some brain fluid, died many times to the Living Failures until I realized that the doors are a safe spot from the meteors. Then I met Lady Maria, she can fist my chest any day but wow was she easy with the Augur and just sticking close. Gascoigne does not teach you parrying, she does. Got lost in the Fishing Hamlet and called on online hunter to help me kill the fish giants, Orphan of Kos and Laurence.
With the DLC tackled along with my sanity slain over how damn hard it was, Gehrman was less tough and just when I thought I won, a creature appears as the Moon Presence and smashes me to pulp since I had barely any items left. I defeated it, and became a Black Leech and the Plain Doll is now the mother figure of a new Great One.
The End!

Game is maginificent and now that I can finally search up everything I missed a lot but I did a lot too. 10 out of 10, great music, hate/love gameplay and fun weapons. A wonderful first soulsborne experience. Hunter Hat, Cainhurst Armor, Hunter trousers, Knight Gloves and armed with my Threaded Cane and Holy Moonlight Sword. Currently in NG+, just beat Gascoigne and loving how you can sweep, but not without challenge still. Do I understand the lore? Probably not. But I am to get the refuse ending this time, and with the help of searching finally, try and get anything I missed. 57 Hours well spent!

hey! I'm looking for people for a small written roleplay/campaign that I plan on running on discord! It's mostly narrative, light dice rolling with dread (card version) in the background. Set in modern times at a small town in November. Horror/cosmic horror and that kind of fantasy.
It's called House of Unrest and this particular story is centered around the case of Abigail Biggons!
-Summary-
Marrowstone is a small town that rarely anyone hears about anymore. And maybe that is for the best. Who would want to visit a strange town after a girl had gone missing? Abigail Biggons went on a hike with some friends and she never came back. It's been a week and there have been no updates. The tape marking the trail has been cut down. The hiking trails are all that the town has anymore. They couldn't risk closing them all off.
Since the factories shut down, the Mirron Inn has been barely keeping afloat. Yet even now with a local girl missing, they are still set to have their annual dinner party in a few days. Locals and guests alike are invited. Even radio hosts Bette and Eve, who never make it out to the inn, do a special show for Marrowstone that night. The whole town is ready to move on, but is it really so easy?
--
The in-game summary:
"Tonight we have some sad news," Bette stated as the show began. The static of the radio mixing with the sounds of the rain against the inn.
"Sad news?" Eve questioned.
"We are still Bette and Eve. And this is Lights Out." Bette said laughing.
"Oh, I'm the sad news."
"Tonight we have an announcement from Sir Mirron. The Mirron Inn is hosting the annual Marrowstone dinner party this Thursday at 5 pm. Townsfolk and guests alike are invited to join the festivities." "You might even see some friendly faces, if you listen hard enough." Eve giggled, her soft voice ringing through the speaker.
"In ten minutes, Eve will read a story that was submitted from a listener. But for now, you have to hear me update you on the latest from Marrowstone. The library will be closed Thursday, for reasons unspecified. However their book sale is still set for this coming Sunday. Abigail Biggons is still missing as she was the first night of her hiking trip a week ago. If you have heard from her or have any information, please let the Biggons family know. There have been no released updates on the search at this time. Officer Buffington will provide further information at a later time. Esther Briggs of Yellowwood Avenue has lost her cat, Snuffle. Snuffle has been described to us as a very large orange tabby. If seen, please notify Esther as soon as possible. Posters of Snuffle have been posted around town if more information is needed."
"Now for a short break before I read the first story of tonight."

May 14, 2020 Update.
LOL, I better update the last few days. 
The super-private couple updated People on what they did for Archie’s birthday. I don’t know about you guys, but I actually found this rather sad. Archie’s “best friends” are the dogs. Sigh.
https://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-made-archies-first-birthday-cake-and-his-two-best-friends-were-there/
The Oprah Magazine got the scoop on their “socially distant” Mother’s Day with Doria. Gee, I wonder who the source is. It’s a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, wrapped in an enigma...
https://www.oprahmag.com/entertainment/a32465756/meghan-markle-mothers-day-doria-archie/
They did a charity phone call and the decor of the Tyler Perry house is exactly as we pictured.
https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a32480138/meghan-markle-button-down-blouse-zoom-call/
And, speaking of the Tyler Perry house. It turns out you can see it from a nearby hiking path, so the harmless put up the world’s ugliest privacy “fence.” I guess this was the only house they were offered and they kind of had to put up with the hiking path.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8308771/Prince-Harry-Meghan-Markle-erect-screens-Tyler-Perrys-18million-LA-mansion.html
youtube
And Meghan wanted everyone to know that she really does have “A-list neighbors,” or rather Tyler Perry does since they are just crashing his pad.
https://www.hellomagazine.com/homes/gallery/2020051489841/meghan-markle-prince-harry-famous-neighbours-la-home/1/
Then Sebastian Shakespeare confirmed Blind Gossip’s diary scoop. Lots of mentions to The Working Actress blog. 
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8317077/Meghan-Markle-kept-DIARY-time-UK-friend-claims.html
Very Private Meghan’s friends went to Vanity Fair to explain that she wasn’t writing a tell-all because, lol, Scobie’s “best-selling” book is already a tell-all. My take on this is that Meghan is shopping her diary, but she doesn’t want the rumor to eat into sales of Omid’s book.
https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/05/meghan-markle-rumors-diaries-tell-all
Tumblr media
We also got a blind possibly about Meghan losing a role.
https://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2020/05/blind-item-3_14.html
Tumblr media
In possibly related news, Ava DuVernay has been working on New Gods and “potential casting ideas” are starting to take shape.
https://batman-news.com/2020/05/07/ava-duvernay-confirms-all-widow-will-appear-in-the-new-gods-movie/
Blind Gossip also has a blind that could be about the Harkles or Kimye. I think it’s interesting that most of the guesses are about Kimey because “the Markles are used to being together all the time.” LOL, they actually aren’t, but their press makes it look like they do.
https://blindgossip.com/the-war-of-the-yellers/#more-100584
Katie Nicholl’s heard from Harry’s “friends” that he is rudderless, but is trying to stay in contact with the military.
https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/05/prince-harry-v-e-day-invictus-games-message
Tumblr media
Katie Nicholl said that the brothers “reconnected.”
https://www.etonline.com/prince-harry-back-in-touch-with-prince-william-after-his-move-to-la-146449
Tumblr media
Will mentioned Harry in his letter to The Diana Award, so maybe that’s what they “reconnected” about.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CAK5Ne8HGEB/
They don’t seem to be reconnecting about the Diana statue, though.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8304209/The-saddest-casualty-William-Harrys-feud-Dianas-statue.html
In tangentially related Sunshine Sachs news, Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas are wearing matching half-heart necklaces for their pap pics. I guess you can’t teach a dog new tricks. I actually laughed out loud when I saw this because it’s such an unlikely thing for Ben Affleck to do. LOLOLOL.
https://www.usmagazine.com/stylish/news/ben-affleck-girlfriend-ana-de-armas-wear-matching-heart-necklaces/
That’s it. Sorry for the absence. I’ll answer some anons and return tomorrow. LOL, it’s crazy how much content these two still produce even though hardly anyone cares anymore.
Oh wait, I almost forgot that the Shahs of Sunset guy confirmed the post-suits ghosting and gave some insight about how “woman among girls” Meghan behaved in high school.
https://www.eonline.com/news/1151624/shahs-of-sunset-s-nema-vand-says-meghan-markle-toyed-with-his-heart-as-a-teen

MCC Aqua Axolotls Live Commentary!
Hello, as said, I will attempt to write down my thoughts and reactions during the MCC. 
Stream links!!
False: https://www.twitch.tv/falsesymmetry
Ren: https://www.twitch.tv/rendogtv
Grian (yes, he’s streaming): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjkgnEi4t9g
Pearl: https://www.twitch.tv/pearlescentmoon
Updates will come as edits, so be sure to check this again every once in a while if you’re interested or just curious! 
To all fans, please be kind to everyone, no matter the team or who you wish would win. You will only embarrass yourself if you harass others or act immaturely and will gain no brownie points with those you follow and watch.
For now, may the games begin and the best team win!
-
Edit 1: Peeps are running a bit late, apparently, Ren is the only one on the team with no aqua colour XD Grian recoloured the headband that Smajor had made for him last stream XD
Andddd, we’re kicking off!!
-
Edit 2: The gong makes an appearance!! Also, the story of the gong!! Grian had bought it as a gag for whenever he and Mumbo record! The team loves it!
Countdown has finally started!
-
Edit 3: The first game is Skyblockle(?)!! Team ain’t feeling too confident about it, but we’ll see! I think they’ll be okay at this. Gri is reading the instructions and getting nervous XD
From now, everything will be under the cut. Warning, it’s really long.
Oof, wood fell in the lava. They still have more :)) They’re sharing tasks pretty nicely, I have to say, but they keep changing plans. Things will heat up quickly, tho, and I’m glad this game is gonna be out of the way soon.
First death in Skyblockle for the Aqua Axolotls: False! Second: Grian!
Doom is on the horizon XD
Rip, Ren has died too, and Pearl has gotten a couple of kills!! 
And the Axolotls are out!
First gong after a game. Rn we’re all watching the other teams. Dream team is holding up well. Techno’s team is out too. Last bid!
Endgame: Pearl has won the most coins, team is a bit disappointing by last place.
-
Edit 4: They have the Uno Reserve card as they were the worst team. 
Game: Bingo but Fast!
Gri is reading the instructions again. Someone in Pearl’s stream is watching 25 streams holy dandelions.
The team is again sharing tasks. This is pretty speedy!
Hearing Gri lament how speedy it all is is so funny. Also, they’re all like headless chickens and a lot more disorganized now. Poor team.
Endgame: Ren’s sweating in unspeakable places lol, but they’re not last anymore!
Pearl’s game just crashed, oh goodness.She’s back in, wooo!
-
Edit 5: Game: Battle box!
Gri is going for the middle. Pearl got so many kills!
First round won!!
Second round lost!
Third round won!!
Ren’s having a hard time breathing, and I gotta say same! 4th place rn.
Game was paused to stop the animations of the NPCs and we got another gong! we chilling for a few mins lol.
WE’RE ON AGAINST THE DREAM TEAM. Aww, the game needs to be reset or smt. 
Oh wow, draw for every team. Fourth round was skipped.
Fifth round - uh SERVER CRASHED
Wowie, the map looks really strange without the resource pack.
First hiccup in 7 event, dang. 
Starting again. Resource pack might no re-appear again. And now I’m laggy, lol
Round 1: lost!
Round 2: won! Gri with the tnt :D
Round 3: lost! tnt did not work this time
Round 4: unknown due to lag, oof.
Round 5: lost
Round 6: unknown 
Round 7: unknown
Round 8: unknown
Round 9: unknown (prob lost)
Place: Last.
Everyone’s laggy, including me lol.
The viewers are being encouraging, which is really great and wholesome!
-
Edit 6: Game: Big Sales at Build Market!
Team is confident about this one, wooo!!
Grian ended up in plants lol. Ughhh, diorate. Communication is key, and it’s very well done!!
They’re building fast and getting resources pretty fast, that’s good.
Grian listing what they need is *chef kiss* False being alert is *hearteyes* and the chats are the real mvps 
Endgame: Place 7. It was pretty intense indeed.
Break time!
-
Edit 7: Audience takeover!! Pearl wants Rocket Spleef, so does Techno. Dream wants Hole in the Wall.
Game: Rocket Spleef!!
Grian’s reading instructions :))) 
This will be intense as all heck. Countdown has stopped, huh.
Oof, apparently it was supposed to be Hole in the Wall, but can’t change. Gri’s prob not gonna have as great of a time as I’d hopped :P
Round 1: Rainbow map, False is out! :o The very first time! Team’s out right before tnt time! Place 6, nice.
Round 2: Uhh, Atoms map?? Grian and Pearl are struggling. Pearl’s out! Gri’s out! Ren’s out! False’s still going.
Round 3: Grian’s finally got the rocket jump. Jump and then launch :D Or maybe not XD Tnt time! Pearl is waiting down at the bottom. She fell, oof. Grian’s having cramps in his hand and, in his words, he’s ‘a goner.’
Endgame: False’s the master of Rocket Spleef! And place 6! Team really enjoyed it, I’m so glad :D
-
Edit 8: Team’s hoping for Ace Race, and it looks like it might be!
Game: Ace Race!
Grian is narrating for all of us, nice! “This is totally Sonic!” he says!
“’Your first time will probably suck’. Yeah, that’s been happening about the entire time!” lmao
Omg, the map is so cool!! Def a fan favourite!! The entire team is having so much fun yesss
All of them are really doing good, Grian and False are placing good.
“Techno, get outta my way!!” -  Gri, and I have to say, mood.
Grian got place 15! Right behind Techno, nice!!
Pearl is 32!
Ren is 35?
False is somewhere behind Gri, but way before Pearl.
Endgame: Everyone had one heck of a time and now they’re trying to find out how to make it in Vanilla Minecraft XD
Place: 9 
-
Edit 9: They dunked the Lime Llamas XDD
Game: Sands of Time
Oof, this one’s gonna be a maker or a breaker.
Oh goodness, they have no one watching the time D:
They’re banking coins, thankfully. 
Oh no, Pearl!! Sand is needed. Grian to the rescue!
Phew, three sand left, thank you Pearl for topping up!!
Intense, gosh, i’m really nervous about the sand!!
Oof, Pearl’s stream froze. It ended, oh no. Actually, it might just be me that has enormous lag (not smt new lol). 
There we go, slow but it’s something.
The sand!! Aww man, right as Pearl got the sand!! They’re out! At least they banked a lot of their coins.
Endgame: We got a nice gong. Place: 5! Overall place: 9!
-
Edit 10: My wi-fi is beating me up with a stick, and it’s unrelenting. Lag is my life now.
Last game: Hole in the Wall
Ren’s gonna have a bad time XD
Round 1: Pearl’s fallen, from what my laggy video will show me. Gri as well. They’re out!
Round 2: Pearl’s still alive, woo!! Glitched right through one, so cool XD
Round 3: lag.
Endgame: Ren’s raging, Grian is really amused by that XD Nice game!! 
-
Edit 11:
Overall place: 9
Time for the final battle!! Gong! Ren wants the gong as stream sound effect :D
Green Guardians vs Orange Ocelots! 
Grian supports Techno bc Techno said he liked him lmao!! The others are Green. 
Also fun fact: Grian could coach a match of dodge ball!
Round 1: Green wins!
Round 2: Orange wins!! Techno’s taking them out!
Round 3: Orange wins!
Round 4: Orange wins!
Grian: “It’s like one of those anime moments!”
Round 5: Green wins!
(Gri went off holy heck)
Congrats to the Green Guardians!!  
Last edit of the night!
That was extremely fun to watch!! The lag and my own wi-fi made it a bit irritating at times, esp since I had to split my focus, but it was pretty good nonetheless.
It’s really sad that the Championship itself lagged so much, I have a feeling it left both a lot of viewers and players feeling frustrated as well. 
However, the new mini game was lots of fun and I have a feeling we’ll be seeing it a lot in the future. I really hope we will.
The team was really good, they managed to coordinate very well, but like many groups who’ve just started working together for the first time, there were times where they could’ve slowed down a bit and reconsidered their plans. Still, the important bit was that they all had a great time together.
Overall, I really hope Grian and Pearl will participate again, even if not on the same teams. I also hope that there will be more Hermitcraft members joining in, even if only for one Championship. I had tons of fun writing this as well, but I think I’ll switch back to occasional posts about amusing things that happen during the games, as it really took a lot of my attention from the mcc itself.
Hope whoever kept up with me or reads this later enjoyed/enjoys this. I’m off to bed now, I’m sleepy and I’ll prob wake up, read through this, and find 10 million little mistakes that I’ll die over. Future me, I deeply apologize, but, uhhhh, no regrets!!
Starstress out!

hey, i've read your makarov fic (a man's weakness) in ao3 and then found your blog here. been reading some of your tags and now i'm curious as to what you have in store for makarov and the reader. they haven't met yet but i look forward to that moment. vladimir is a mysterious character, but the way you portray him is giving me the feels. btw i like your choice of music too. fitting for a story set in the nineties when he was just a young man.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hello anon! Thank you so much for your asks, so happy that you’re enjoying the story so far and I’m sorry that I’m taking so long to update. There should be a new chapter this month, since I’ve been working on it c:
IKR! Vladimir is definitely a mystery to many of us since there’s so little information about him in the games, and the devs didn’t bother to explain many things about his past… which sucks because there are some important events of the story that should have been given more depth. In my opinion, Vladimir is an interesting character once you get to know the story behind his actions (which totally doesn’t justify them, of course) and it’s so sad that the writers lost their chance to make an amazing antagonist. Vladimir had a lot of potential but it was wasted.
Thanks! We can’t forget that Vladimir was once a young lad of twenty-something back then, so nineties music it is c:
This is one of my favorite songs, released in 1992, and the first time I listened to it in the 2000s (thanks to my sis who bought the CD) I was mind-blown and kept replaying the track over and over again. Years later I still do that. And it probably fits the mood of what I’ve pictured Vladimir’s life was like during those years.
youtube
The nineties were a key moment for Vladimir, the years that changed it all for him and shaped him into a ruthless criminal. 
The Soviet Union had dissolved in 1991 and many republics declared their independence. Asides from a myriad of other problems, the economy in Russia was… well, pretty disastrous and many people were having a hard time while few became rich overnight. 
Not long after Vladimir returns from Chechnya, he is charged with war crimes and forced to drop from the armed forces. That means he lost his job (and an important part of his life, as a career soldier). He didn’t have a single penny on him, the war left him with psychological problems that made it difficult for him to readjust to civilian life (regardless of the bad stuff he might have done in Chechnya), and on top of that he was labeled a criminal by the UN. By his own government, when in his mind he was only serving his country. The fact they were so willing to quickly get rid of him made him feel betrayed and used.
So the most logical step, for him, would be to embrace that life of crime. Many veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Chechnya became gangsters because… honestly, they didn’t have a lot of options and unemployment rates were high. 
He puts the skills he learned in the military to horrible uses. And he earns money, more money than he could have ever imagined… and he learns that he can do whatever the hell he wants, that the world will bend to his will, if he has the ‘mighty’ dollar in his hand. That’s the discovery of a lifetime for him and shifts his perception of the world. It both thrills him and fills him with rage because as a soldier, he’s always served his country out of pride and love for his homeland. Yet at the same time an array of new experiences becomes available to him. In a world of infinite possibilities, everything is for sale for one price or another.
Let’s consider this all happened post soviet era, and the nineties were wild years for Russia. The vacuum that the Soviet Union had left, and the end of the age of heroes, was filled with hedonism and excesses where every man was out for himself and the country was on the verge of anarchy. The youth was in such a hurry to taste their new freedom, and in a time like that I assure you Vladimir couldn’t have been the exception. 
Does that make him happy, though? At first, it may seem to be the case. Now he had freedom, theoretically, to do whatever he wanted and without a care for the consequences. He could give an eff about the world. He is adrift and with no clear purpose, no real projects in mind other than grabbing as much as he can… and lots of time to engage in self-destructive habits. But the truth is, he’s descended to unimaginable depths of emotional misery because nothing has meaning anymore. Money can buy many things, but it cannot buy a purpose for his existence. Like you said, he only seeks to fill the void in his soul with distractions such as alcohol, drugs, and casual sex, all the things he probably despised at some point like the proud soldier he was, because he’s got nothing left and it’s better to live fast and die young. 
To him, freedom means nothing without purpose. It’s just another kind of prison. 
Tbh I also need more angry emo Vladimir in my life so I feel you ♥♥♥

So, this is going to be one of those rambly late night posts. It’s been such a hard few weeks. This pandemic has been such a scary strange time. I’ve been a work trying to keep on top of my game at work. I’m a key worker and I’m needed to be out on the streets to keep other people safe. Isolation isn’t an option for me. I’ve been trying to keep my parents in essential supplies whilst battling the horrible queues and desperate shoppers. Then my Dad got really sick. I just wanted to bring him the only thing he would eat just then but facing the empty selves time after time just felt like I was letting my family down. Then my Dad got too sick to stay at home anymore, so he went to hospital. Alone. No visitors. Then there was the sad and frustrating task of trying to get him his first mobile phone that he didn’t know how to use just so we could talk to him. Trying to get information from an understaffed hospital. Trying to get updates on how he is. If it’s ok. If he’s getting better or if he ever will. My Dad has finally come home from hospital now but he’s not the same. He might never be and I can’t even give him a hug. I’m terrified I might not get that chance again. So I’m trying to put back the pieces of my life. I decide to buy a puppy to brighten my day and try and fill this void. So I got excited when I found a breeder with a pup for sale. I eagerly put down a £500 deposit. I was so excited and happy. Now the breeder won’t talk to me. I realised I rushed in without really scrutinising the ad. It’s looking like I’ve been scammed. So now I’m £500 down and my happy little bubble has burst. I was supposed to be flying to Canada today for that one in a lifetime holiday with my husband. We planned an amazing three week trip. We spent a very large chunk of our wedding present honey moon fund. Now we can’t go and the airlines won’t give us our money back. I’ve been so angry and frustrated with the world, with this virus, with these big corporations and with this small scam artists. I feel exploited. Ripped off. I feel robbed of my family time that means so much to me. I feel raw from it all. Today I went to work again and all I could feel was anger.
Tumblr media
Then, I came home. I turned on Disney+ and I watched the city of lover concert. I wanted to cry when @taylorswift got out her guitar and sang death by a thousand cuts. Honestly, it reminded me why I love @taylorswift and how she gives me hope and strength to get up and keep going and keep shining even when it’s hard. Then there was the acoustic performance of Cornelia Street. Such a beautiful faultless performance. I felt, just for 40 minutes like I was back at a Taylor concert and the rest of the world and my worries just melted away. Thank you @taylorswift for your music and sharing it with all of us. You really are a beacon in the darkness. 💖

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Part 1 - First game (Turnabout Sisters, Turnabout Samurai and Turnabout Goodbyes)
Tumblr media
So, I was going to buy this on Steam, but then I recently got a Nintendo Switch (so I can play Code Realize and Collar x Malice next year loll), and it was on sale! Since I had no games (I bought World End Syndrome but it’s not here yet), and I really wanted to try playing stuff, so I bought it XD Two of my friends really recommend it as well, so yeah I would have bought it some day anyway~ I think I should have bought an SD card with bigger storage than 64gb though… (EDIT: I did...)
Anyway, the game! It’s a bit sudden to be thrown into trial all of a sudden, but Wright is a newbie lawyer anyway so I guess it’s all good loll. Kinda funny that the questions the reader has to answer are simple stuff like the victim’s name etc but I guess it helps you get used to remembering things, and looking over evidence etc if you don’t remember. Because I did forget the victim’s name hahaha. Honestly though, the style of the game is really cool and different, I really like the transitions for effect and I love the big font “hold it!” and “objection!” has hahaha. Mia is very helpful. In terms of the case itself, it was a simple and silly one, mainly because of Larry, he’s so dramatic and ridiculous, it’s funny. Note though, this is probably blasphemy to others but I’m playing with a walkthrough (i.e. I pick my answers and then double check with the walkthrough), I just don’t find it fun or have the time to explore wrong answers anymore tbh (backlog of VNs is long, I’ve got at least 6 more games). Anyway, I like how the game wants you to think but you don’t necessarily need to think too hard (for now), and it’s all done in a not so serious way that makes it fun. Like, I loved it when the judge said Larry was not guilty and confetti started falling down on the screen hahahaha. I think this game will be a great break from Steins;Gate 0 right now lol.

Turnabout Sisters I remember trying to watch the anime of Ace Attorney (which sucked, it was like the game but all the fun was gone because it was less interactive yet still played out like a game, it was weird) and being shocked that Mia died. I was so sad because I liked her, she seemed nice and cool. I kinda forgot about all that until this part started up and then I was like oh yeah!! Poor sister got arrested for it though, but I guess Phoenix needs a reason to do something. It was saddening when the sister didn’t have anyone to defend her😞 It was sweet when he decided to defend her, since he became a lawyer because he wanted to become someone that could look out for people who had no one by their side… When he says it like that…it’s hard to not admire how kind he is.
Lmaooo at Miss May and the bellboy though, I love how weirdly crazy they both are. May is like fake and sweet when she’s in her “cute” mode, but becomes super aggressive when angered (such as being caught out for lying), and the bellboy is just thankful that now the hotel is more popular because a murderer (May is being suspected now) lived there hahahaha. Everyone is so eccentric in this world. I find their mother’s story saddening though, she was probably pressured by the police into finding the culprit for a case with her spirit medium powers, but then she failed and the media got wind of it, and the backlash she received as a “fake” made her disappear. Disgusted that Grossberg was the one who told White (Mia’s killer) about the medium thing for money, and White then leaked it to the media! But I think the worst is that Mia tried her best all these years to out White for being the one who ruined her mother’s life (as well as many others with his blackmailing leading them to suicide), but she got killed by him… It’s so unfair.. I’m glad Maya is out though, and lmao at her taking it so seriously when you pick the option of telling her to help break Phoenix out (since he’s in detention now for suspected murder because of White’s influence). She’s so cute hahaha.
Well, that was a crazy trial lol, not only was White a chronic liar that was allowed to “amend” his testimony several times, Edgeworth was pretty apt at trying to keep him from being caught. I knew the receipt would show when the lamp was bought! Kinda obvious when he mentioned that he saw it last week I guess, gotta catch him somewhere haha. I guess the lesson is to update your furniture often so you can catch murderers😂 It was really nice to see Mia’s spirit inside Maya helping Phoenix and cheering them on in the epilogue though, I wonder if we’ll see her again? I definitely like Mia more than Maya😞 But I guess with Maya, they’ll learn and grow together as they do their best for the law office?
Tumblr media
Turnabout Samurai I love Oldbag, she’s so whatever with everything, she’s hilarious. Not only does she talk nonstop complaining about young people these days, she really knows how to drag people into her pace lol. The defendant Will looks like a lion hahaha, except he’s one with no teeth since he seems way too gentle to be able to do anything. Anyway, gotta love how dodgy Oldbag is by omitting evidence, remembering things suddenly, as well as exposing that the directors etc were actually there as well but the studio wanted her to hide it. Btw, I love it when Phoenix wants to buy time by accusing someone else of the murder, and one of the options was the grade school boy, and when you pick the option, even Phoenix himself is startled that he said it and he himself doesn’t even know how he should support this as a possibility since the kid couldn’t have held the weapon hahaha.
HAHAHA THE GREAT SAL MANELLA. That name lmaoo😂😂 Nice to see Mia again to help Phoenix, I love her and how she was so capable in getting the kid to talk. I found it really interesting going through the kid’s testimony, since it really presented a proper reason for the kid to lie and have obstructed the court from getting to know the truth. Not only is he a kid, he’s a kid that believes his hero Steel Samurai would never lose, so him deleting the photos of him losing to the villain and lying about him winning are plausible and interesting to uncover, I liked that part. I don’t know why I never thought of the possibility that Jack Hammer was actually the Steel Samurai, even though I questioned from the beginning whether Studio One was really where he was killed haha. Now that it’s apparent the victim dressed as the Steel Samurai and went to Studio Two where everyone else was, it is now possible for the producer and them to have killed the victim within the 15 minute break they had… Oh yeah lmao when the kid came to testify and he was too short so they got him a box to stand on, I love little details like that hahaha.
Well, I really liked that! I really liked how everything ended up wrapping up and how the story tied together. I had some trouble (as usual!) with the presenting evidence parts (because I suck), but yeah that was great! I don’t know why it never clicked, but I really missed the thought that Hammer was the one who wanted to kill Vasquez and that’s why he did all that pretending to be the Steel Samurai and hiding his tracks etc, so he could blame the killing on Powers after. He had enough of being blackmailed and used by Vasquez these 5 years for accidentally killing a person on set (of which she covered up, since someone took a photo of it). It’s kinda ironic that he ended up dying in the same way as the person he accidentally killed. Maybe Studio Two really is cursed lol. But yeah, anyway, I really liked the piecing of all the evidence and clues! Seeing it unravel the way it did really made sense, especially when things I noticed but didn’t know what to think about were talked about, such as the small incinerator next to the van. I couldn’t piece together the story myself, but when they did, it was great, I liked this case. I also really liked how Edgeworth suddenly switched sides and started questioning the witness and the holes in her testimony as well because he knew that she was the killer and he wanted to catch her in her lies, since Phoenix missed some things. They were a nice combo haha.
Tumblr media
Turnabout Goodbyes I didn’t think Edgeworth would become a defendant! But I guess what I’m most shocked about is that Edgeworth’s father was the victim in the DL-6 incident involving Mia and Maya’s mother, Misty Fey who was the spirit medium helping out with the case that led her to be labelled as a fraud. Edgeworth seems to really like Phoenix but can’t seem to be honest for some reason, hmmm, and I guess his father’s death is related to why he threw away his dream of becoming a great defence attorney like his father and instead became a prosecutor? Oh.. Edgeworth actually witnessed his father’s murder…and the suspect they caught was the one Misty pointed out as the killer through talking to the victim’s spirit, since he was the only one that could have done it, and yet he was declared innocent with the help of the defence attorney at that time, Hammond. And now, the victim in the current case is Hammond… I guess the police would think of that as Edgeworth’s motive to kill him… I wonder if Edgeworth lost all faith in defence attorneys because of that incident with his father.. But I’m happy that the weird Detective Gumshoe really respects Edgeworth and believes in him even though others don’t, I thought it was really nice that he acknowledged and believes that they can really work hard to capture criminals because they know that Edgeworth will prosecute them for their crimes. It’s like they both believe in their work and through that, they do their best to catch these criminals.
Well, it was obvious that the girl was dodgy because it’s definitely impossible to see who shot who when it’s foggy, and at night, and at a far distance! But it’s helpful to prove that she wasn’t even focused on the boat and was looking for the “monster” Gourdy that supposedly appears there. Gotta admit that Karma is hilarious, especially when he insults the witness’s intelligence for looking for a monster hahahaha. Also loved it when even the judge couldn’t go against him and followed his pace, glad the judge eventually stood his ground though lol. I still find it so fascinating that in this world, all trials must be tried and decided within 3 days so that the justice system isn’t clogged with cases. Aww it was so sweet to learn from Gumshoe that Edgeworth really appreciated Maya causing a fuss in the trial and giving the opportunity for Phoenix to cross examine what Lotta slipped up on. Lmao when he told Phoenix that Edgeworth would pay for her bail and he started thinking about whether Edgeworth would pay his rent for this month too hahahaha. Omgg, lmao at Gourdy the monster actually being Larry trying to inflate the Steel Samurai balloon and failing, causing it to fly like a rocket into the lake lolll. I guess he does deserve having the dog eat all his Samurai dogs loll. It was expected, but it’s kinda funny to see Larry come to save the day when Edgeworth was declared guilty haha.
Tumblr media
Omgg, their back story was so touching! I thought it was so cute seeing little Edgeworth say “objection!”, and Edgeworth is right, if there’s no evidence, and if he didn’t do it, then he shouldn’t admit it! I also loved Larry saying “if he didn’t do it, then he didn’t do it”, those words were so simple but so true. I can’t believe the whole class put Phoenix on “class trial” to get him to admit something he didn’t do, and even the teacher didn’t believe him, like whaaat, great teaching right there. But I guess it’s because of how dodgy they all were, Phoenix, Larry and Edgeworth got to become friends. I found it really sweet that although Edgeworth transferred out because of the DL-6 incident, and never contacted them again, and ignored Phoenix when he tried to talk to him, it was really touching of Phoenix to become a defence attorney just so that he can meet Edgeworth again. Edgeworth is a prosecutor so regardless of what he wanted, he’d have to face Phoenix eventually and I thought that was really cute. Lmao at Larry completely forgetting about such an impactful incident on Phoenix’s life, but it’s so him. He’s silly, but he’s a great guy, and he really helped out with this testimony! It was all over the place, but he heard really important things and you gotta be glad he came to save the day! I honestly didn’t expect the murder to have occurred before midnight, and that the one in the boat with Edgeworth was actually not the victim but the murderer. It’s honestly…hard to believe and accept that Edgeworth could be the one who killed his father when he threw a gun (evidence?) that was lying next to him to protect his father from Yogi who was deprived of oxygen. I’m still sceptical of that though, what about the hole in the glass? And why would there be a person telling Yogi to get revenge on Edgeworth etc for ruining his life (for being suspected, losing his career etc) and making him kill Hammond etc. Whyyyy would they show von Karma the letter!! It’s such crucial evidence!! I’m not surprised he used a stun gun on them to steal the letter back!
Anyway, that was good, I really liked this case. I think the most saddening thing was discovering that Yogi really was innocent and really had his whole life ruined from this incident. It was terrible to hear that Hammond got him an innocent verdict but it was actually at the cost of declaring him of unsound mind, so he’s been pretending to be “insane” all these years, especially after his fiancee committed suicide after this incident. He wasn’t wrongly accused for being the murderer and yet he still lost his career, his partner and everything in his life. It was really saddening to think about tbh. As for von Karma, when this case first came about, I really didn’t expect him to be the killer in the DL-6 incident, I thought he was interestingly eccentric with how he wants everything to be perfect and was super arrogant and would always strive for guilty verdicts but I guess with the comedy in the game, I didn’t really expect the cost of his actions. He was caught for giving faulty evidence by Edgeworth’s father Gregory, and that is the one and only scar to his record. He’s been dodgy all this time and probably incriminating many innocent people in these 15 years at least, sigh. I guess I didn’t think that just because there was an opportunity, he would actually kill Gregory (when Miles threw the gun and it ended up landing near him). I also didn’t expect him to have been shot by that misfire and for him to never have taken that bullet out of his shoulder because he didn’t want to create any doctors as a witness to this! Which is understandable though, but wow, he’s pretty hardcore. So yeah, that was awesome and I think it was my favourite case! I really liked how things flowed and how everything ended up piecing together like that. It’s really cool to see how the evidence matches up together.
Tumblr media
Lmao at Larry having been the thief that stole Edgeworth’s money in that Phoenix class trial incident, I honestly thought it might be him but I was like nahh. And it was him hahahaha omg. I guess the deserves getting dumped by girls all the time lol. The photo Lotta took at the end was nice, I also really liked the little snippets showing all the previous witnesses lives, lmao at that bellboy becoming the owner or something lol! Although Maya isn’t useless and really helps Phoenix by just being there and helping him think through things etc, I do think it’s good for her to complete her spirit medium training first and then come back. It’s important for her to have her own goals and stuff after all, so I’m glad she did that.

(My) Character/NPC Update Wishlist!
Hi all!
So Star Stable has been killing it lately with the NPC Updates with the Soul Riders, Andy, Ydris, Maya, and even some shop vendors! I love the new designs so, so, so, SOOOO much- as an artist myself they make me happy :) 
But these updates take time and there are still some citizens of Jorvik in need of one of these new makeovers. And as I ride around Jorvik I can’t help but think to myself when I come across these people “Man, I love you, buuuuttttt...... ..............................
.....
 .....I still love you though!!” XD 
Its because I love these characters that I’d love to see them updated in the near future! So as time goes on and we patiently wait for these character updates, I thought of who I would like to see get redesigned. I’m excited to see either these people or any of the characters get a new do when they happen! Please note these are my opinions (though I know almost everyone wants these characters updated XD ) and be respectful! Also there may be some possible spoilers ahead so keep that in mind if you are not too far in the game! :) 
Let me know what your dream NPC updates are too! I’d love to hear them!
Number 1: This Wonderful Family
Tumblr media
I will protect this family. They are such a cute and sweet little bunch living on Paddock Island. They have the prettiest Shires and Clydesdales for sale and one of the best jumping races in my opinion. I would love to see them get an update! Especially because the the little girl kinda creeps me out a little... 
Tumblr media
Her face is a little creepy to me....
Why won’t she blink?
That onsie and farm shoe combo is not working for me honey. 
I feel like with an update the Star Stable Team could make her look SOOO adorable!!! And I won’t feel creeped out everytime I talk to her. Did I mention she scares me a little yet? :D
Number 2: The Silverglade Romeo
Tumblr media
AKA: Lance
I thought his quest was incredibly cute! I’d love to see a revamp on his design since the neckline of the shirt looks off and his design hasn’t aged well with the new look of the game. I would love to see this guy get an update just because that quest was adorable and he deserves it. 
Plus, I’ve always liked him because I think its cool that they have an NPC sitting on a barrel. Something different. Weird opinion? Why yes, thank you for noticing :)
Number 3: That Lovable Yet Really Bad Postman
Tumblr media
Yeah.... the world’s worst postman has not aged well, especially when standing next to the newly updated Soul Riders. His shirt hangs weird on his body and movements are a little stiff which kind of looks off now when he is standing next to the Soul Riders or Evergray. 
As a character from the original Starshine legacy series, one of Anne’s friends, our friendly neighborhood postman, and just as one of the nicest but clumiest characters in SSO, I think the fans would love to see this guy get an update! 
Number 4: The Guy Who Loses Giant Boxes of Saddles.
Tumblr media
Srsly Stein- you had one job with the saddles at the Open House. 
Anywho, Stein is that guy who works at Jorvik Stables under Herman. He’s diligent though he gets us to do his chores for him... 
I can’t help but think he would look really good with a makeover and smoother animations especially since his character design is pretty good to begin with. 
Number 5: The Moorland Heir 
Tumblr media
Justin Moorland. The first person we meet in SSO and our in game tutorial. Not to mention part of our adventure on Jorvik. But tbh... when I first started playing as a noob I really did not like Justin’s design XD He grew on me and now I imagine Justin as one of Isla’s closest friends. 
Although is has been hinted at the Midsummer Festival that Justin may be getting a new look soon! 
So I feel like this resilient and horse loving dude could use a little makeover to be up to date with the game and story. We love you Justin!! :) 
Number 6: The Trash Bag. 
Tumblr media
UGGGGGGGHHHHH. Mr. Kembell is so mean and evil! Sorry dude, but not even a flower crown will help! 
Despite my deep dislike of this guy, and how I think Isla would feel about this monster, I feel like a good antagonist needs a solid villainous appearance. 
Just think how cool the SSO team could make him look! They could REALLY make him evil looking like they have for Darko!
Although I will admit, his shape and some features of him do remind me of a Cog from the old Toontown Online game I used to play. So I get that whole heartless, money obsessed business man vibe from him now because of it. Am I the only one who sees this or Nah? Just me? XD  
Number 7: The Captain. 
Tumblr media
This guy has been important to the Keepers of Aideen and in my opinion, just plain awesome. Seriously, I love a random character who you think is not going to be important, and then suddenly is! What can I say? It’s a lovely surprise, because I totally thought he was just some grumpy sea captain who just chilled out in Cape West to give me random side quests. 
But he has not aged well, especially next to the other Druids and such. I have faith that the SSO team would give him a wicked cool makeover! 
Number 8: The Horse. 
Tumblr media
They updated Bjorn and Agathe’s horse so why not update the horse next to the Captain? Logic. 
Number 9: The Other Trash Bag
Tumblr media
He also hasn’t aged well and doesn’t look as evil in my opinion anymore.  Which is a little sad to me :( 
I would love to see Mr. Sands get a new look in the near future with awesome animations and a new sinister look! 
Number 10: His ex wife!?! DUH DUH DUHHHHH!!!
Tumblr media
I love the Baroness. She is so strong. So regal. So resilient. So poised. And has the coolest daughter (Anastasia Silverglade) 
I’d love to see what she would look like updated :)
Number 11: Mr. Fancy Pants. 
Tumblr media
I loved this quest- it was hilarious and such a blast! I would love to see this guy get an update (and get an extra fancy outfit that maybe keeps his iconic monocle perhaps?)
The Debatable One:
The Iconic Break Dancing Old Man. 
Tumblr media
This is debatable. We all love Jasper and want the best for him like a new look. 
Yet, we all think his break dancing is iconic. Plus that design of his is iconic. I guess I wouldn’t want him updated for a looonnnnggg time. 
I leave this one up to SSO.
And there you go! NPCs I hope get updated in the near future! Let me know which NPCs you want updated soon or dream updated people/places/things around Jorvik you’re hoping for! Is there anything specific for a character design you have in mind? I’d love to hear about it!
Thanks for reading and see you around Jorvik!

Good and bad news, CHECK THIS OUT PLZ
Tumblr media
(are... are you ready)
Haro my fellow earthlings and interplanetarian folks!
Today I bring good and bad news altogether, so please bear with me for a bit! Firstly, I wanted to talk about how development has been going since the very beginning, so let us go to our nice time capsule :D
This is a timeline of the development up until now, I tried to be the most accurate as I could, but it can be a bit difficult when I don’t remember many things anymore lol
The game is in development since January 2017. The timeline goes like this:
2017
Tumblr media
From January to May, 20, I developed on my own my first public demo of Virgo Vs The Zodiac. It took longer as I was all by myself.
Then my Grandma said she wouldn’t be able to support me anymore if I was going to quit college to develop games. From May to August, I prepared the Crowdfunding Campaign to help me fund the project and my EXISTENCE. The Campaign was launched in September 2017, I think.
After the campaign ended, I could finally get Anglerman onboard! Ay! He does animations for enemies and some party members animations too and is also the greatest deity of our lives. A legend. He helped me a lot with the Game Design Document I was working on because new people would join and I needed to make the things in my head to be a bit more concrete.
From the end of the Campaign until October we were working with a another programmer, but that didn’t work too well since they had another big project they were working on at the time. We had to change the programmer. It was when I found Ben here on Tumblr, current lead programmer. Our lord and savior.
After that I was browsing tumblr randomly and I found Veyerals among asks sent to this tumblr and thought his work with menus was pretty cool (and I liked his game as well, played a lot of that back then). Veyerals joined the project too as the UI programmer and would also be working with the SHMUP mini games, which he had experience with. Bless the UI G.O.D.
From that point on we had to basically rebuild the game from scratch from the moment we got the new programmers. Not only develop the game from scratch, but doing everything RPG Maker already had built in for us into the new engine because that was the only thing I knew in terms of “programming”. That and adding everything new I thought for the project. It was a huge amount of work, and we only had a battle system working fine in December, where we started developing a new build.
Tumblr media
(concept art of lady nurse)
2018
In this year things got a bit complicated!
At first, when the battle system was mainly “complete”, as we thought back then, we delivered a 15 mins build for ID@XBOX to be shown at the Game Developers Conference, on January 2018.
We had billions of problems from january to august with the development and also unrelated to the development, like dealing with US taxes. A lot of things weren't working as we wanted them to be, this time was mostly spent on making the timed hits to feel nice, rebuilding the base systems and trying to make the game to have the same feeling as the RPG Maker build had of it being challenging. Also, overall asset production. That was demanding as heck. In RPG Maker the enemies didn't move, while in Game Maker they were animated. I had never worked with Game Maker before, so me and Anglerman (the animator and fellow game designer) had to learn the engine from scratch while developing the game, that resulted in a lot of set backs, but lead us to where we are now. We're confident with the overall game's scaling, difficulty, battles and systems. In Game Maker the maps are also bigger and have way more polishing, so that took a lot of time to get used to on the new engine.
Tumblr media
(a really weird, but solved, bug)
From that point on we built Capricorn, and started working on Taurus and other realms at the same time. After some time we determined that doing several realms at the same time, even though we knew which level the player would be wouldn't work well, and we decided to finish the realms before heading to other realm.
Billion lines of code later, in october we started development of the first 2 hours and a half of Taurus. All of it took one month and a half. It was a significant improvement from the previous 5 months to develop the same amount of gameplay! We determined that we can finish the game on the first half on 2019 upon seeing the progress of the development in Taurus. Now we have a stable work flow, as our lead programmer only has to work on random tiny things, for example, "I would like for Virgo to throw Alpacas for an event, can you add that?". Those are small details that Ben can do easily. Everything that was promised on the campaign, like SHMUP minigames and the crafting system is also all working nicely and well.
That brings us to the bad news: The release will be delayed, for all the reasons exposed before. At first we thought of keeping with the date announced in the Crowdfunding Campaign of December 4th and release the game in Early Access. However it all seemed unfair to the Beta Backers who donated first to get access to early builds of the game. Other than that, a save system of something like a RPG such as Virgo Vs The Zodiac wouldn’t work well with the early access system of Steam. Just imagine your save messing up every time the game is updated. That would be just bad. xD Unfortunately I didn’t know that back then when I announced the date, and I didn’t know the amount of hassle I would go through to learn the engine while developing the game. I can only blame my naiveness, honestly. Other than that, December isn’t a good time to release games because of the Steam Sale that makes it harder for new games to be noticed with so many games on sale.
With that being clarified, I can say now that the game would most likely be released in the first half of 2019, around Q2. I apologize deeply and am extremely sad, I was even avoiding saying this here and avoiding social medias in general due to anxiety attacks <_< I’m sorry for that as well! For anyone who said their birthday was in the same day as the game’s release, I apologize immensely, and please send me a message and I’ll send you a card of Sagittarius wishing you a happy birthday. It’s the only thing I can do now, to be honest. S O R R Y =(
Tumblr media
O U T R A G E O U S
New possible release date: Q2 2019.
As for the good news now:
Taurus Realm Build For Backers
The Taurus build I was talking about will be sent to backers this week! :D You can expect a bossfight with a Zodiac, millions of new characters, around 1800 new lines of dialogues, new equipment to check, new fellows to beat or spare, quests and the SHMUP minigame, now implemented on the game! Also, as seen on the trailer, you can throw enemies off screen now :3
Kinda Funny Games Showcase
We’ll also be participating on Kinda Funny’s Games Showcase that’ll be happening in December 8th! You’ll be able to see a new trailer of Virgo Vs The Zodiac on the stream that’ll be happening on Kinda Funny’s Twitch. That’s a really cool opportunity for us, so eternal thanks to Greg Miller for chosing VvtZ. That got me by surprise! xD
Tumblr media
Date: Saturday, December 8th
Time: 10am PT
I think that’s it! Basically we had a lot of setbacks, but we’re in the right path again now and I can say doing anything is faster as is! The game’s quality improved and the development became more demanding of our skills, but it’s also a nice challenge for everyone. I’m glad to have started this project, my life was pretty dull back then, I had lost many important things before and VvtZ brought sparkle back to my life. That’s important, as even in the most difficult times I can remember I’m creating something I have so much fun with. I’m blessed to have all the people who support me on Virgo Vs The Zodiac discord, who supported me in the campaign and everyone around social medias. It’s what makes my days happier, tbh.
Ever since I began development I lost contact with many of my friends from the other city I lived in, but I also made many other precious friends who helped me along the way! All the good and bad memories on my life shaped this place I created for myself in the world. I like this place, it’s comfy :3 Again, I’m sorry for ruining your expectations to have the game up on Steam this year, it’s a first delaying the development like this. As a Taurus I can say it pains the most to not have things done when I need them to be despite the hard work going behind this game. Damned Bugs. I want the bugs to die. Gotta work even harder from now on to extinguish bugs the maximum we can!

Remote working resolution: Making it fun, Making it work
Research shows that productivity and effectiveness of work have a huge correlation with employee mental health. Harvard Business Review published a report suggesting that people who work with a positive mindset have the performance improved in every aspect such as productivity, creativity, engagement. Consequently, multiple solutions have been implemented to improve the working environment and take care of employee emotional aspects. In a more difficult situation, working remotely which is more common in the pandemic made it more complicated to manage employee mental health. Preventing burnout, adapting to telecommuting and balancing work and family obligations are among the missions that businesses need to make the process to help their remote workers.
Fortunately, there is a wide range of technology solutions that can assist businesses to adapt to the new norms, to support their employees living and working under shelter-in-place to have a positive mindset. To make remote working works is not the only objective anymore, making it fun also is considered a crucial factor for enterprises to survive through the pandemic.
Tumblr media
Making it work
- Effective communication
Communication between coworkers is vital when working remotely. With someone who is not familiar with working with people from a distance, it can cause serious stress from misunderstanding, cost extra time to deliver one message. Additionally, ineffective communication can lead to low productivity and later, stress for employees.
Thus, maintaining an effective process of communication is a major part to make working remote work. There are several mobile app and software has been developed to address this need, Zoom has seen a drastic increase in number of user since the pandemic, Google also updates their platform, adding new features.
- Forecast and predict issues
The thing with working from afar from the office is that managing employees in all aspects is harder for business leaders. Mental health is one of the major issues that should be looked after to ensure the quality of work and working environment. Thus, business leaders must be aware of mental health for employees, later forecast issues that can occur. For example, with someone familiar with working individually like designers, artists, working from home will probably be affected by the environment at their place that cannot trigger their creativity. However, for sales agents who always interact and communicate face to face with people, working from home can cause some obstacles and later become stress.
The solutions therefore can be found in a lot of ways with technical support. There is a lot of company done custom software development to record employees emotional when working. One who has trouble coping up with remote work can be provided with some help of all kinds from physically to mentally.
Tumblr media
Making it fun
Working from home reduces social interaction between people. Every day you spend at least 8 hours at your office, talking, discussing, working, arguing and also gossiping with your college. That became a daily routine for a lot of people. It is the emotional connection that brings the dynamic of the working environment. Whether the interactions represent happiness or sadness, these are still something signature for the working place. Though, we are not giving up all of these interact when working from home but the majority will not be the same. Additionally, working from home is more likely to spark negative emotion, the need for solutions to create positive emotion for employees working from home is crucial more than ever. The question of making it work now adding one more phase which is making it fun.
Thanks to the development of technology, many things can happen regardless of physical distance. With a fast internet connection and some designated mobile application development process, businesses can create a lot of activities for employees to join in. The below activities have been done and show a great success
- Virtual internal events: Game, talkshow
- Joined Charity events
- Workshops for leverage personal skill
There are over 15,000 mental health apps are available on the apps stores. This proves that mental health now has the right attention. These include different technologies that support different purposes, also, the platforms are varied, such as phone apps, desktop applications, websites, wearable devices, or a combination of these. Additionally, 2020 witnesses the remarkable software development projects to support working from home both of the number and the quality. Hence, this suggests the effectiveness of technology application in remote working productivity and especially maintaining good mental health.
Thinking of using technology to look after your employee time working from home, starting today by using existing service or creating your own software with an IT outsourcing company. With IT outsourcing services, you will have the high-quality services provided by qualified experts at the most reasonable price.

http://okdr.tumblr.com/post/26852227853/my-pledis-2012-wish-list-updated-july-9th-added
So long that Pledis has changed a lot since then. I stopped doing wishlists when I saw music promotions for After School weren’t being granted, Hello Venus joint project became Fantagio’s group without Ara & Yoonjo, and NU’EST wasn’t getting the LOVE they deserved translated into album sales... I was also tired of hoping for a SEVENTEEN debut date in vane. I mean, that I knew they would debut eventually, but just keeping high expectations for a certain period, was frustrating, so I decided it was better to just chill meanwhile. This 2017 started with a blow and sad decision that ended up being for the best: NU’EST JR, Minhyun, Baekho and Ren taking part in survival music show contest, Produce 101. I wasn’t fearing at all for SEVENTEEN or PRISTIN, not even for After School, a group I had the theory Pledis is just waiting for the right to to declare it dissolved or to blow us with a revamp (both possibilites are there, but I believed more the first one). The year has been satisfactory enough for me. I am not going to complain as a Playgirlz, the only thing that bugged me was Pledis complete omission of After School’s 8th Year Anniversary. They are still keeping the brand and the remaining members, even if they don’t use the name when they introduce themselves (or some rather use Orange Caramel’s), it was an ugly move towards the fans whom are still supporting them. However, this year Pledis did the right thing to follow up to Han Dong Geun’s success and to properly reward BUMZU -whom might had sign under them with a promise of seeing his singing career re-launched if he worked as a producer for their acts first- with single releases and a final mini-album. Yes, we quite didn’t have official notices until recently on his releases, but in the end, Pledis stood up and did what was expected if they want BUMZU to have a succesful singing career. Even Raina got promotions! Which is more than I previously expected earlier this year. Oh, and NANA kept taking big steps into her acting career and RENEWED her contract with Pledis. That certaintly made my year. I was debating whether I’d do a 2018 Wishlist or not, because it’s been ages since I used to do that, but This year has settled such high standards for Pledis that I need to do it. MY 2018 WISHLIST: 1.The remaining Orange Caramel members to also renew their contracts.
I won’t say I have high hopes. I always kept my hopes for Raina, but this year Lizzy has been posting on SNS like she felt leaving Pledis was something bound to happen when her contract expires. It doesn’t necessarily mean she will or that she trully meant what she said whenever hinting at Pledis not caring much to give her work to do. NANA surprised me because, after Uee’s decision, I thought that maybe none of the AS girls whom had solo careers launched (acting, modeling or singing) saw the perks of staying at Pledis. 2.For Pledis to keep giving NANA reasons to renew after 2 years. I read that’s the longest she’s signed up for. It looks like she’s giving them a chance to step up their game as agents for her acting career. People whom love to follow dramas and actors often point out that Pledis isn’t a strong company in that department, however, they have always managed to launch their idols into performing for dramas and even movies. The key point is getting them into bigger roles for bigger succesful dramas and movies to become more influential in that world. 3.For all acts to be healthy, on leave members to come back.
And no more drama on SNS regarding anything or anyone. Certaintly, no more FAT-shaming. See what Bekah experienced from K-netizens repeat once again with Kyla trully made me sick. Especially after K-netizens played such a huge role into Oh My Girls’ JinE’s relapse to anorexy.  Minghao also hope his back injury heals and he takes proper care from now on, because injuries can always come back. 4.For Pledis to keep doing what they did right during this 2017.
Seriously, they don’t even need to step up their game. Just to follow the path they’re walking right now. And, yes, to not screw up (again) this time. Keep that expensive new website up-to-date for once. 5.For fans to unite even more and to support with whatever means are at each one’s reach BUMZU. I do believe he deserves it. He works so hard for everyone at Pledis, he sings beautifully, he deserves some of that love he gives back. I also believe that Han Dong Geun doesn’t need any special extra support, he’s just adorkable and he does have a huge fan-base in South Korea (or so it seems), plus he’s in a niche-market and still manages to sell decently. 6.Give us more Happy Pledis interaction. Heaven deserves an MV. But I guess we should give the Dance Practice more views first, don’t you think? I don’t believe Pledis will invest their money into releasing that song if the DP video doesn’t go trully viral. This post’s photo is my personal suggestion LOL, but other convos are welcomed. 7.If AS are going to come back (Kpopalypse predicts it, and he’s a good predictor), not to be a random and badly planned one. Otherwise, I rather have them not promoting with music.
Quoting Playboyz Adam, 
This fandom doesn't want an After School comeback, this fandom just wants a comeback with After School members.
Which I do find to have a certain truth. People are desperate to see the remaining members back with some music, but it really doesn’t equal that people want what the group, AS, was created for and stands for to come back with music. Which could imply new additions or even some graduations. I also don’t want just whatever song and concept to be chosen for a come back. If AS are bound to come back, I want the whole company and the involved members to profoundly think about what are they going to bring into the table and to do it in order for the group concept to continue in this new era. Not a come back to keep us content for a short while that would probably don’t get the results we all need for AS to keep existing in this new K-Pop. I don’t want a Rainbow 2.0 happen. 8.Is Yoonjo trully there? Think wisely what are you going to do with her then. I think she’s out of The Unit, isn’t she? (Couldn’t find her name anymore nor her face in the performances). I wouldn’t mind her joining AS if needed. Just don’t waste the girl a second time around if it’s true she’s under you again. 9.Open new subscriptions for your FC! Selfishly, I missed ㄴ.ㅇ.ㅅ.ㅌ. ‘s second recruitment this year (hadn’t the money either), and I waited for ages to be able to join that FC, along to Playgirlz... I am not sure if recruitment has happened for HIGH’s yet (and don’t know if DONNI’s works the same).CARATs, we sort of assumed (?) this year that we shall renew that yearly (?). 10.For the fandoms to be respectful with each other. Acknowledge that each act has worked its own path and no-one trully owes the other nothing for the hard work they’ve put into their training and debut.  Investments and funds trully don’t work on just milking a single act, not ever since Son Dambi. She was the one whom spent a certain time being the only idol under Pledis’ roof, helping the company to take shape thanks to her success (that obviosuly attracted investments to develop future projects). While your favs were making money, AS members were also working their arses with solo stuff or even group promotions overseas, some even bringing in huge amounts of money thanks to their CM deals (Uee, Juyeon, NANA...) and NU’EST were being overworked in Japan. They owe you nothing. Of course without SEVENTEEN’s success, probably Pledis wouldn’t had never planned to debut a large group like PRISTIN afterwards, but the girls also paved their own path competing in Produce 101 and training for even longer that some of SEVENTEEN members, so hating on them is like hating on NU’EST because some people  believed Uee was sustainting the whole company back when NU’EST debuted. You don’t have to like all the acts under Pledis, but disrespecting them and throwing your ignorance on them at the Net (usually hateful comments show a complete ignorance on the hated subject), only brings your hate right back at you and your whole fandom, plus helps shaping a certain image of unwanted fandom among others. Besides it is rude to the fans that support more than one act or the whole lot. That also applies to non-Pledis’ acts’ fandoms. Fanwars between company factions are always trully ugly to see.

Board Kings Cheats
Board Kings Guide
Tumblr media
Board Kings guide has been released. No, i'll never improve in the sport, but i won't be throwing cash away both. Wait until you take gain of a so-known as bonus buy! Non existent custom carrier. Do not want to believe it? Take a look at out the comments on their fb web page at some point of an occasion. I will be taken aback if this overview gets posted due to the fact many,many customers are taking advantage of their bonus packages and getting nothing but a receipt. Me covered. I in no way would have given this type of cute sport one megastar however they deserved it this christmas. Your turn is coming lower back and you must thru the cube to recognise your subsequent vacation spot. Every time you'll be throwing the cube, matters will start to trade and we're certain which you are not aware of the modifications and feeling that everything is complicated. Each time you'll be throwing the dice; your wide variety could be indicating the quantity of movements your character could be transferring. In addition, every block will reward you with some of Coins. So after contacting customer support, they answered per week later asking me to send a receipt of my purchase because it wasn't in their gadget? Bizarre, it changed into on my bank statement and apple account. I speedy sent them my receipt and nevertheless haven't heard lower back. Perhaps in any other week they'll reply? Ok so i re downloaded the game and got my development returned ——————————————————————————————normal fantastic sport but i got here back to this game and it logged me in as a new char meter known as "mike" i deleted the sport and i am approximately to re download it and notice if it helps but to date i am mad and concerned approximately getting my account back also i used to be a truely a excessive lvl.... it is so worrying motive why give them to me if i can't even use them??? I use to like this recreation however at this factor i just play it from time to time to okay*** some loose time over again, i amassed over 125 (saves) and become never given my reward rolls. Smh. Thoughts you, i paid $5 to get them. All of this is a advertising and marketing ploy on the way to get you to spend money. I fell in love with this sport when i first began playing, however now i am not so positive. This game may be very addictive!! My fiancé and i play and visit each different's boards and scouse borrow Coins. The handiest downfall we see to this point is that the rolls take for all time to construct lower back up. Attempted twice to improve a building: the sport takes Coins and does not upgrade something. Learn to code! This has been taking place to me more than one instances when i try to do in app buy. It shows $3.ninety nine in app, but on my card it shows $14.forty two each time i tried to get it!! I have no different troubles with any of the other video games i play, but there is usually something incorrect with this one. With the santa occasion coming to an cease soon i've been looking to do my forty rolls. I can not stay on the sport long enough to even get half manner through. Also very dissatisfied with the reality that i reacted santa however now i have to acquire extra carrots to refill his bag!? Impossible, mainly on the grounds that i can't even play the game. I've tried to contact the sport builders but it appears to move no in which. Maybe a negative evaluate will get interest. After the current replace, it deleted all my facts. I spent tons of cash in the sport and purchased many land marks and leveled up to the museum board. Got here returned to the sport to finish the bunny easter task and the game might not open in any respect. Consent crashes and when it does load it takes me through the tutorial and first board. If there may be handiest one roll of the dice on the way to s**** you be assured you may roll it each unmarried time. A reasonably uninteresting game initially, it doesn't need to hide you continuously too. I roll 60+ times and may not land at the tile designed for the mini game sufficient to even get midway to the prize. This is with hitting the right spot once i do land of the tile. But i will hit some random nothing tile over a dozen times. They're shown as houses, and every unmarried one of them can be upgraded. Now, although a few ask greater Coins for an upgrade, all of them give you the equal quantity of Coins. For example, upgrading normal tiles to level 2 will supply five extra Coins for stepping onto the tile. So, improve inexpensive tiles first, and only after all the reasonably-priced ones are upgraded proceed with upgrading the relaxation. This way, you'll earn more Coins considering that there will be greater upgraded tiles at the board, and could, at the long run, upgrade all everyday tiles faster. I emailed and messaged on facebook and nothing changed into ever constant. I think there must be a restriction on how many Coins you may scouse borrow. I used to be saving up Coins, than some one stole 73,000 Coins from me. I was essentially only left with more or less 5,000. i locate this very unfair, i was so close to deleting the app after this. It might be fine if whilst you had an problem and had to contact "assist" that they in reality were given lower back too you! This game isn't worth it. The developers can not even get the sport to load for days on give up. Do yourself a desire- download another game. This game become a laugh however now it is now not. I don't like the reality that people can thieve your cash because i had one hundred,000 stored up to repair my board and when i logged on i best had one coin left. It's not amusing to me because of that and if i shop up again they'll simply steal it once more and that frustrates me loads. So sad :( like the sport it is a first-rate time passer however one it looks like it takes for all time to gain your cube four in an hour appears sluggish but maybe it's carried out that way so you purchase extra. What i hate maximum about their game and i assume others have touched on is that why is it viable to your Coins to be stolen so normally in this sort of short time. I am no longer sure why you have to be robbed with the aid of four unique human beings inside the spans of an hour. But after i go to do so, i can only upgrade two homes bc i failed to land on some thing unique. I simply think including mini video games could add a new detail on how you can gain more of the critical gadgets you need to transport forward :) code:380-709-706 on multi participant when i visit a pals base after the 2d or 3rd roll you instantly land on a cop. Aside from that it is a decent sport. I lost my previous board when they had little glitch the other day, now i have to start all over, i have spent a lot of time on this game and i was connected with fb it had my picture and everything, i'm really annoyed, this is ridiculous, i have spent countless hours on this game and have spent money... stay clear of this game and if you do play do not spend money, their little so called glitches seem to happen when an event is ending so the people super close to winning the prize don't get it because when the glitch is fixed the event is over! The fact that your Coins can be stolen while actively playing. If a player occupies a tile you have to land on that tile and there is no other way to unlock it. The last two issues prevent progress at points. Love the game! A bit obsessed with it actually . Already spent my real money! I'm a bit upset about the update though. No matter how much i roll i almost like never get any christmas cards. If i were landing on more then i would purchase rolls. I was enjoying this game when all of a sudden i had to start all over again. It's frustrating when you have to go back from the start! So i lost my interest in playing it. 😒😩 i try to login and play this morning with my morning tea, after having won a boat load of rolls, Gems, and Coins during the night for being in the highest upgrade tier, only to see the "server isn't responding." Fix it. This is reeaaallllly disappointing. While the game is fun to play, it steals your Coins. My daughter was playing and i came up on her coin king twice in a row. It told her she stole about 78k from me twice. But it told me she stole 1.57m and 457k. Where did my Coins go if she didn't get them???? I don't mind if someone steals them a a part of the game but this is not what is happening!! The developers are just stealing the Coins in hope that you will buy in their store. It was a timed event and i knew right away that i needed to get ahold of someone. Well my 2 claim tickets about the same glitch were never responded to so finally i had to contact apple for my refund because not only am i frustrated that i never received day 2 but i was completely blocked from day 3 sale only for the event to end before anybody tried assisting me. I will not be purchasing anything anymore from this developer. Please fix! Thanks for such a great game. It's amazing. Fun and time consuming. The only problem is i never have enough rolls. And i can't get anymore. It's making me upset. This game is the best game ever! Not super time consuming, fun to play with friends, and a great way to relax after a long day! There's no game that's similar either! Make sure to like their facebook for giveaways too! Love this game! So easy to catch on and much faster than monopoly!! This game doesn't deserve a full 5 stars but if possible i would give it 4 and a half stars. Board Kings is awesome, but there is one problem your run out of "rolls". Almost every game now has "energy" or "hearts" or "rolls" etc... so you have to wait to get the "rolls". Some people on these reviews say 1 star because you run out of rolls but it's not that bad they are over exaggerating. Somebody also said i spent $50 dollars on this game and it didn't really make a difference. Also, the chase continues after our exciting sticker album, with new and super exclusive prizes for completing sets! Also, the chase continues after our exciting sticker album, with new and super exclusive prizes for completing sets! Are you an avid tiktok user? Or perhaps a business owner interested to use tiktok for social media marketing? Here are the top 8 tiktok stats you should know in 2020: warning, they'll surprise you! In this video, professional skater bri, for appgrooves, tells users about an app called riders that lets skateboarders make impressive tricks learnable, such as this fakie bigspin performed by bri. My wife and 2 kids that play the game thinks it's so funny because they play the game to and can't believe how unfair it is towards me. Which i have to admit sometimes it's funny to me to. That's the only reason i gave 4 stars. 1 star for the unfairness on me but added 3 more stars for the humor my family is getting. Gotta laugh love this game. Would give it five stars if it wasn't for the ads glitch. ✴decide a card, any card! Win free rolls and prizes while you draw playing cards from the thriller pile. ✴issues get actually attention-grabbing when mates present up and attempt to steal out of your board. ✴don't surrender! You'll be able to journey to your mates' boards, too, and wreak havoc! Steal their cash, injury their buildings, and occupy their tiles. ✴ your metropolis will change into the discuss of the city with well-known locations just like the empire state constructing and the eiffel tower. This helps create a fun sense of tension within the gameplay. Will we be able to spend our Gems before another player invades your board? Wise spending is the key here. Later on in the game you will have the opportunity to buy landmarks. These buildings can take up the blank spaces on your board. Landing on a landmark will give the player a bonus. There are different landmarks with different bonuses, such as extra Coins. The progression of Board Kings seems fairly standard as far as mobile games are concerned. For example 3,5, or 10. There are also other ways to improve it but my main concern is improvement to make the game more interesting. If the game improves i will add more stars but if it doesn't i will also write the other problems i'm having. Thank you. I would like to report a problem here in trying to play and it won't let me it keeps saying something went wrong can we fix that cause i really enjoy this game and would like to play today is there going to be a new update or something cause it keeps saying something went wrong it's a really fun game when you can play it... unfortunately i haven't been able to since it logged out from my facebook account. And along with that, comes with the lack of Gems and Coins to upgrade your buildings when you're out of dice rolls. When i'm out of rolls, i like to upgrade everything. But when i go to do so, i can only upgrade two buildings bc i didn't land on anything special. I just think adding mini games would add a new element on how you can gain more of the essential items you need to move forward :) so i started playing this game so i could earn some points on money app. Its amazing features and multiplayer option enhance the fun in the game. Hii i'm not able to download the latest version of Board Kings. I downloaded the app from the above link but when i opened the app it asked me download the latest version. Please help Board Kings (mod unlimited Gems Coins) is the best game for having a lot of fun. You can download it for free from our website. With this mod, you will get unlimited Gems, unlimited Coins and infinite dice rolls on your game account. Won a tournament and didn't receive any of the prize package. Emailed support twice and received no reply. I have made 3 separate in app purchases and haven't gotten anything from them. I message the support team and all i get is an automated response. The game is fun to play when you're bored but for the love of g** do not make an in app purchase.... I really hate how you have to buy packs in order to get good things i'm not a fan of pay to play i wish more apps catered to people for it to be a simple fun game.. but 10 hours for 12 rolls like seriously!!? So now i have two boards that went wrong and out 1,000 ruby's. Is someone going to fix this glitch or people going to keep having this problem? If so i am going to stop spending money and delete the game. Was playing daily for last few months and enjoyed the games and new boards. Updated to latest ios 2 days ago and lost all progress. Get the following message, game retries 2-3 times then reverts to original board. Bad news something is wrong, reconnecting 1140502 thank you, fixed today. Couldn't get into the game all day yesterday (12/23/18), it kept saying it couldn't connect. I uninstalled/reinstalled today. I can finally get into the game, but now it crashes every time i try to get a free card. I don't know what changes you made yesterday, but it wasn't an improvement at all! Board kong's used to be fun, but after they keep adding all these events it's turned into a glitch fest. Game takes forever to load even on perfect internet, keeps unconnecting itself from a connection, keeps not rolling, the current event you roll to go down the sidewalk and it takes forever to land on a number and if you do land on a number it doesn't even bounce along the sidewalk nd you wasted a carrot. And i didn't get any of my rewards. I love this game. Please help :( would rate 5 but didn't get my landmark, rolls, Gems or Coins. So sad. It's a really fun and addicting game but i have one problem with it. When you are rolling and rolling and you are so close to unlocking the next building someone will land on steal and take all your money and you have to wait till the next set a rolls to try again. Man, i love this game. Such a good way to waste time. It's so easy to play, yet is so addicting! Only reason i can't give it 5 stars is that it takes so long for more dice. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ great game love to play it, my biggest issue is not being able to attack people who steal money on the steal space and the diabolic part of this game that absolutely needs to be removed and changed is this i can get money stolen from me-as im on my board playing the game!!! I've had over 10 million stolen from me in the last 24 hours because i can't progress. It's been almost 4 days now of trying to get my buildings released and i'm about to just quit. It's a shame really because i really enjoyed the game but now it's just become frustrating. I was enjoying the game until i left fb. It seems Board Kings centres everything around fb. Had to delete the app. I'm not gonna start over this game is so much fun and i really enjoy playing. I've used real money in this game and totally unsatisfied that they want me to start all over. Where is the fix for this?? With the recent update i get several pop ups saying something went wrong and then it puts me back at the beginning of the game. I don't want to start over. Please fix this soon. With this past update. I'm unable to log in to my board and it's asking me to start a new game after multiple errors well i gave bk two days to respond to me before writing this, yet they have not responded to multiple emails that i have written to support. So like in 2017 i got a board and then i clicked on the first one you start off with and i still had the circle board but when i clicked the other board it said i didint have th 2nd board anymore please fix it thanks i give this a one star ⭐️ because of this .-. For some reason i am on my fifth tome on the same board and it is getting very boring.also not getting prizes and i have spent lots of money on this game.i contacted tech support with no answer,not the first time.good game but no longer a challenges,spend what i have left and be done. Now i can finally upgrade all my buildings and get a new board!" Nope!!! Why not? Well, that was the first board i was stuck on due to these annoying golden bricks. So, i not only used all my new dice and got maybe 6 of 180 bricks, but in less than 24 hours, the entirety of my 5m plus everything i had earned with my dice rolls was stolen from me. I wrote to the developers and got no response. The minute i start playing i'm immediately pulled in and before i know it, i'm out of rolls. I wouldn't mind waiting if it didn't take at least an hour to get four rolls. Either way i do enjoy the game. Very addicting game! I just wish you could have more then 60 friends for rolls and Gems like go to 300 friends. Really fun game but i got to the second board and almost every time i get enough money it take a more than half away i just wrote a review about 'no cap on stealing?' Remember, these regular tiles can be upgraded indefinitely and higher levels will ask for Gems. So, once you notice that regular tiles ask for Gems in order to be upgraded, finish leveling up other tiles (the ones that ask only for Coins) before leveling up gem-hungry tiles. When you start Board Kings, you'll get a certain amount of freerolls. After you spend them there are two options. You can either pay Gems (which can be won by playing or bought for real money) for new rolls or you can wait for your rolls to refill. The fines usually cost just a couple of hundred of Coins, which you can earn again with just a few rolls. It's certainly better than spending precious rolls in order to get a double. Board kinks will offer you to watch ads in order to get additional rolls. Watching ads to get prizes is helpful in most other games offering the option since the prizes can be quite helpful. Sadly that's not the case in Board Kings. You see, the ads usually last half a minute, and the prize is just one additional roll! I love this game! But i can't log in. It's crashed. Keeps saying something is wrong with my internet connection but there's not. Something is wrong. Calm lake has a huge amount of multiple accounts. People like that hit you with all of their accounts and completely drain you of cash, and destroy your buildings. After latest update. Game doesn't load. I loved this game. My daughter loved this game. We were inviting other family members to join us and were planning to play all through christmas. However it has a good concept to the game i play it when i'm bored but starting to play it less and less because how frustrating it gets i collected all the pieces to get a new dice and it says collect and win 100 dice after but i never got my 100 dice. This my 4th board of me not getting it. Help!! If you'd like some easy rolls add me! Have a few more spots open. With that done with, liking the game so far! Step 1. Before you go to the download section and begin to play the game. It is recommended that you have to uninstall any previous version of the board king (if installed). Step 3. Again, before installing the game, you have to make sure that you have enabled the unknown sources option from the settings of your device. To allow installation from unknown sources go to settings> security option> unknown sources> enable it. The point to keep in mind is that this option can be found in different sections of settings in different devices. Also, i know the whole "random roll" thing is totally fake because you can clearly see the pattern of going around the board five or six times, falling just one tile short of the important stuff, then suddenly landing on things. Please fix soon, thanks i enjoy the game to a great extent, like 5 stars. However, i think being able to steal other's Coins is unacceptable. You wait hours to build your elixir and earn currency, all to have it taken away. Please make this right. I enjoyed playing the game as something to look forward to in the evening as, it takes quite a while to fully reload. I was almost up to level 20 and found that all my progress was lost and it tried to start me off at the very beginning. I decided it wasn't worth it. No way to recover my progress and no way of knowing if it would happen again. 😏 thanks for the help. You totally figured out the problem and everything is as it should be. When we started upgrading the board my game crashed so that was really stupid and sad but its fine now!!! I really hope you all enjoy the video!!! By adding your company profile to digital.nyc your startup becomes an active part of the city's official hub for technology. Startup listings for digital.nyc are powered by gust.com, the world's largest platform for startup funding. You can update your free profile at any time through the gust dashboard or even take things a step further by using your profile to leverage all the benefits gust has to offer. No where does it state that the prize is a competition and a chance to win the prize. So many people spent real money to get 50 building upgrades. Only to get either 1/10 of the prize or no prize at all. Contacted game support, only for them to claim its from a winners list even though the challenge ad claimed otherwise. Any company that tries to trick you should be avoided. Fun and addicting 6/5 stars man this game is awesome though i'd rather not wait for dice but this is so fun i had a level 7 board with 200k money(was about to level up) and rare idol pieces and i turned my game on today and it started me over. But i have a suggestion make it to where you can roll more downloaded and played this game as an offer for cash points on another game. They took the offer down knowing it would take longer to reach level 3 than the offer would be up leaving everything bill and void. If they are that dishonest and skeezy to get you to even download the game- don't be surprised when the game itself starts getting dishonest and skeezy also. I warned ya. Anyways i've been doing really well, not sure what level i was on, but i had made it to the inferno board. Then suddenly i opened up the game yesterday and it had reset back to the beginning, asking me to pick a starting character, etc.... I have never had that happen on a game before. I have reached out on their facebook page and now here. If they don't respond then i am done playing Board Kings. Posting this as a warning to anyone else who may be tempted to spend real money on this game.... apparently they have a glitch that could possibly cause you to lose everything! The concept is simple and to the point, which keeps my short attention span lol. I appreciate this game and all it has to offer. Add me 640-983-305 :) why the h*** are you allowing a conspiracy theorist and alt-right hate monger advertise on your app? It's disgusting to think kids might see this crap. Shame on you. This game can be a lot of fun. However, after months of building up my board, i logged on one day to find the game had reset, and all my progress was gone. The Board Kings consist a little hard gameplay. In the starting of the game, players need to select a story among various types of stories which are present in the game. The game includes all types of stories like romance, stories, drama, and horror, etc. After selecting the story, one needs to create a character according to their choice. There are two main currencies in the game that are Gems and rolls. It takes a long time which is near about 3 hours to create currencies in the form of Gems and rolls. This game is a joke! If you have money to waste then its your loss because there is no win to this game!!!!! This game is capital-r retarded, as is anyone who plays it. There is, literally, no objective in this game. It's just pay-to-play stripped down to its absolute most basic premise. You can pay to roll dice more often, so you can roll dice, so you can move a game-piece around a board. That is it. That's the entirety of the game. I don't wanna start over! I was really enjoying the game- it auto updated and now it won't let me long back in and the one time it let me it had booted me back to the beginning. I hope it won't stay like that since i made it pretty far, it would be such a pain if i had to start the game from the beginning all over again. I'd probably delete it if that happens. Love the game, but yesterday morning my game refused to open. This all needs to be fixed. Make the events fair to those of us who can't buy rolls and Gems to play. Fix the login issue. At first i loved this game then, as i upgraded things became a little irritating because now im being stolen from or robbed faster than i can get my money back. I've started to become stagnant in the game because i finally have money to upgrade then, and even as i'm playing the game, someone robs me of 132,000. All the challenges are unrealistic to achieve unless you actually put money into it. Even the mini games on the boards have been hard to finish. Don't expect getting much from this game unless you put into it. The animation is adorable and the gameplay is so fun and addictive! One complaint though: four rolls per one hour?! Ridiculous!! A reasonable thing would be like two rolls per ten minutes or something?? Like seriously you would have to wait seven hours to actually refill your roll bar also one more complaint: the fact that some random stranger can steal all your money is just super annoying. 😭😭😭 fix this! 😭😭 not sure what's going on, but one minute i had over 2k Gems and the next minute it was down to 200 after i used the train. Same with the rolls. I won the 4 of a kind event and my rolls went from over 1000 to 2oo+. Granted, i haven't spent any money on the game but what the heck. Be consistent. Maybe it will glitch again and i'll have a bunch of Gems again. I'll spend the heck out of them because they will be gone if i don't... I've been playing everyday for over a month. I constantly get on and play every few hours. Lately i've been very frustrated though. 4 rolls every 60 minutes. Is nothing. I feel like i have no changes to make any progress unless i abandon my favorite game for servers hours. The makers should be giving every player 5 rolls every 30 minutes. This would make players much happier and keep smiles on their faces while playing. I hate getting onto my game and seeing 4 rolls and having to wait 1 hours for 4 more. I promise you if you spend even $10.00 dollars on this game it will make a difference. I really liked it in the beginning but its like i only play it for 5 minutes and i'm out of roles. And it's super annoying how the same person comes back to my board literally everyday and they always always destroy my buildings and own them! I will no longer be playing this game. Love the game. The visuals. The icons you get to buy with Gems. I only downloaded it to earn points for another game. I was supposed to just reach level 2 and my job was done. I have no idea what i'm doing in this thing and just kept rolling the dice. Just as i was about to hit the next level, it wouldn't let me advance unless i paid for extra rolls. What a scam. So played for five minutes thinking this was easy and then a give us your money type of loop. -when you save up your Gems to 500 to purchase a new board, you should be able to preview it first. I spent 500 Gems on a board i ended up disliking and don't even use and Gems are so hard to come by, so 500 was a lot to waste! -the rewards you get for watching ads are minuscule, i don't mind watching ads, i do in a lot games, but with this game i feel like it's not worth the 30secs. This makes it impossible for you to advance in the game. Forcing you to spend your own money i refuse to do that because i've already spent enough. Make adjustments please, i refuse to keep playing if adjustments are not made. Also i spent a good amount of Gems on the vending machine and didn't get any items. I love the game but the support is terrible. I've put in tickets and no response. I decided, like an idiot, to make a purchase. Other than tha it is a great game i love this game and have played it for a while. However, there are a couple of things that irk me. The contests, like santa's sled, are easier for some people than others. The pieces have shorter distances to go but the rewards are smaller between players. I can probably get over that. My real question is why my husband got four rolls per hour and then five and now six rolls per hour when i'm at a much higher level than him and still only get four. Then the christmas update came and after getting my beginner stickers, i've gotten no random roll stickers since. Idk if i'm doing something wrong (mindful i've been playing constantly since i got the app about a week ago) or if it's a bug. Either way i will gladly add another star if y'all fix this. I loved this game and as a result have spent actual money on this game.... welp wouldn't you know it after spending real money the game started to glitch out and steal my rolls!! I really hope the developers start looking at these comments and actually improving instead of writing back "please give us 5 stars". I am absolutely addicted to this game! So much fun! Although it's a little confusing at first, it's so easy to figure out i was looking in the app store for some new games and that's when i cam across Board Kings!i really liked its concept so i got it.after starting i was really happy because i like playing board games but my sisters never play with me.its super easy and i love the little town and the bunny's!although the 1 thing i don't like is i realized that i end up using up my dice rolls super fast and it takes pretty long for the to come back.so when i run out of dice i just get off of the game because there is nothing to do anymore.so i would love if jelly button made the dice come back faster this game is amazingly addictive and i love it. We don't facebook and don't want to have to create fake facebook accounts and log in that way. We just want to enjoy this cute little game on our phones. I've restarted my phone. Restarted the app. Checked that i'm logged into the game center. Updated the app. I still can't get my board back and have lost all my progress. I was almost at level 10 and had made it to the second new board. I'm not starting over. I'll just delete this junk and find something else. However, they never replied, never fixed my issue, never even attempted to pretend to care! Very disappointed. Since this last update i can't be in the game for more than 2 minutes before getting kicked out then can't get back in. They claim to be working on it but i don't know. Giving up for now i have restarted the game and my phone multiple times. I also reinstalled the game and it refuses to connect. The app is now just taking up space on my phone. I had 163,172 Coins (used all my spins for that) and 113,741 stolen which left me with 49,431. ((edit: out of the left over 49k i got stolen 3 more times and was left with 1k)) i've also had a time where i got stolen two minutes apart which left me to hardly any Coins, just really? That's more than half of what i struggled to earn. Another thing on the events, maybe for them to be held a little longer they seem rather short and quick, or have more events more often. I started this game because i love playing board games! Now i can honestly say i'm addicted! I wake up check my rolls! Middle of the day check my rolls before bed i check them again! I love that they keep adding new boards and i love collecting all my idols and messing up my friends boards!!! Keep this game going strong! Earlier i was angry for what happened to my save file but now it can back and this game is better than ever!!!!! Please help you will love to play it with your friends. This time the game is fully unlocked with the new features and advanced levels. However, the gameplay includes a traditional board on which you can play with your friends. Added with different colors of dice and social media platforms, the game becomes quite amazing. The game is made so easy that even a kid can play it. Well, you can also give them their entertainment and there is nothing any unwanted online stuff that can harm them. I've never even been given the option to steal that much from any other players who had that amount. It's not even just to steal that amount from someone. You guys are con artists. This game is pretty great i decided i'd buy more rolls and everything on one of their "specials" but i didn't get the rolls or anything!! It made me extremely angry. So the game is good and all, fun and ive spent my own money to collect cards and more rolls but once i collected another set it gave me my rolls and then they disappeared so it was all for nothing, rip off on the game. How can i reclaim it??? Ive landed on it, increased cash, Gems, & happiness-i'm stumped? When i land in jail, the only "release " i have is to spend Gems... I thought we were supposed to have the choice of either paying a cash fine or rolling doubles? Also, i have the maximum amount of cops allowed, how do i reposition them? Yes, the only options you have after being arrested is paying the fine with Gems or going home. I'm not sure where they got rolling doubles from. But, with every up there is a down. The only problem is that i have to wait sooooo long for the next batch of 4 dice and i think Board Kings could fix how long until the next die or make more die for the amount of time we have to wait. Other than that, i really enjoy this game! The problem with this game is that it costs way to much to upgrade buildings. Also, when there is an event, the game becomes rigged it seems like so that it is impossible to win anything. Trusted and commonly accepted libraries (e.g. Google sdk, facebook sdk, signal sdk) are not displayed. Specific sast test reveals all remote hosts present in the source code of the mobile application where the application may connect to send or receive data at occurrence of a specific event (e.g. User action). Specific dast test provides a comprehensive list of all http/s requests sent by the mobile application without interaction with user. For continuous monitoring purposes, we suggest you exploring our award-winning immuniweb® discovery offering tailored for continuous monitoring with flexible 24/7 notifications. Dont spend your money. They do a great job of reeling you in at first. They make dice rolls, Gems, and Coins seem much more attainable than they truly are, especially as you get farther into the game. It isn't necessarily pay to win, but it just isn't fun anymore unless you want to shell out some money every day. To put things into perspective, i'm on the final board at the moment. That isn't a problem at all because they actually are very prompt with releasing new boards. Have you ever wanted to own your own board game, all along with houses, hotels, interesting tiles to step on, and other players that can come to your board and play on it a bit? Well, Board Kings does all that, and more. The game lets you build your own board game, expand it by adding more tiles, build and upgrade house tiles in order to get more Coins by stepping on one, and visit other player boards to get huge rewards, destroy their buildings, and steal their money! What a load of crap. Deleted. I just love playing this game !! It's addicting and fun for all ages! The bunnies are also cute as can be ☺️ i love it 😊 because of how we can go to random people or to friends or get revenge on somebody who has beaten you! 😉😉😉😉 don't listen to the haters because the haters gonna hate. For a long time it said i had 2 more landmark spots but it would not allow me to place them. My 11 million Coins were stolen overnight, leaving less than 100,000 of what i had purchased. After reading some of the comments, i'm convinced that the developers construct the game so that they can s***** your Coins and boosters away hoping you'll just fork over more to to play. I play several other games and your purchases remain for your gameplay only. Fraudulent i didn't know what to expect at first, but once i started playing i figured out that it is a lot of fun, i just started a couple of days ago and haven't stopped. I rarely make in app purchases, but i did for this game . I made 2 purchases of bundle 4 for 3.99 but was only given 1 , however, my card was charged twice . I've tried to contact support but i don't even see the option of actually speaking to or contacting a real person, only faqs. For that and the run around i quit and give it 1 star the game steals your Gems. You have he option to supplement building with Gems, however it does not ask if you want to use them, the game will just take them if you click too many times. Plus i haven't come across any legitimate problems yet. I actually love this game, but it really made me angry that when i spent my money to buy extra rolls and cash, that as soon as the transaction was complete, someone stole $13m from me. Freaking ridiculous. And why do i never see the 10 free rolls cards anymore? Game is pretty fun, a bit frustrating. Got ripped off on my award but i think it was a fail on the other app. I hope they will fix the number of rolls you get. I mean why 4 rolls per hour. You want to make the game more interesting and fun. We want more interactions and more chances to play this game. The major problem is the simplicity of the game and the amount of time people invest in the game since there aren't much stuff you can do once you run out of rolls. I believe changing the hour to a few mins will make this game a game friends will be able to play a lot so that they can steal each other's Coins. Now, the events amazed me, they were great! Was a little unhappy you had to adventure to different boards instead of just picking one, but it was a neat concept. New boards and idols were neat to see. But today also showed me some of the major flaws in this game... for instance while trying to collect board pieces i had gained a ton of Gems that i was pretty happy to spend when i got to the new board, i had like 500,000 and something. Or when you need just a few extra rolls in order to send a couple of more cop cars out before exiting the game. Remember, this can be of huge help but use it only when really need to. This way you'll be able to spend all of your Coins before leaving the game, making your board less interesting for other players to invade it. Thank you for reading our Board Kings guide. We really hope it has been a helpful reading, and we hope you learned something that will aid you while you build a perfect game board. Sometimes it's hard to earn the carrots or other objects required for the current promotion. But,playing the game is fun. This game has been fun, but ever since a few days ago i can't enter the game. The loading bar is full but it won't let me enter the game. If you fix this i'll gladly give 5 stars. Edit: a new update seems to have fixed this! A fun game this game is fun when you are playing with friends, but when my friend spent money to get millions of Coins, i decided to rob him. I had 40 rolls and got 73,000 cash, the game let some steal 46,000 cash. I was going to upgrade all of my buildings but after i l

#GlowGurl: BEAUTY FAIR 2018 by CHALK.PH (and Haul?) [UPDATED 2020]
Posted: 3 September 2018 (Wordpress blog) Note: this is not beta-ed  |  Photo (top): Chalk.Ph facebook page, (bottom) Mine
~~~
This marks my very first beauty fair because to me, it’s only recently that I’ve gotten into makeup – fairly ‘recent’ at least two or two and a half years now. It was all the “mom pressure” my mom did with her constant banter of, “Ikaw lang ang kilala kong Fine Arts student na hindi marunong mag-makeup! (You are the only Fine Arts student that I know of who doesn’t know how to do makeup)” She always emphasizes the ‘Fine Arts student’ part whenever she would tell me off. To be honest, I think my mom regrets it at times because of the money part in the equation wherein I – more like my mom and I – spend buying products and tools to add to our collection.
~ Brief backstory ~
My forced interest in the makeup department started when I was in my 3rd Year in College and it started with my first mascara, I’d consider that late already since I studied in an all-girls high school and I kept seeing some of my classmates back then wearing the go-to cheek and lip tints and powder. One or maybe two of the factors that didn’t really peak my interest in makeup was because my mom kept telling me I was ‘too young’ to wear makeup (I was in high school) and that I have sensitive skin – sadly that part is true, these held everything back in at least trying new products. I couldn’t really do anything at that time since I was too scared to put what I considered “gunk” on my face. But that gradually changed throughout the years between my senior year in high school and my junior year in college.
Tumblr media
Brief product review: The Calvin Klein mascara that was given to me enhanced my already long and curled lashes (Thank you, genes from the father’s side LOL) and it did the job quite well – from lasting a very long time and keeping my lashes volumized and curled all day long…but it wasn’t waterproof so that’s a bummer. But nonetheless, it was a good product that started off my interest.
From curling my lashes and wearing mascara, I went on to perfect the brow game for a good year and a half. And after ‘perfecting’ – still working on it – what people would consider ‘on-fleek’ or Instagram brows, I moved on to blending eyeshadows and after half a year moved on to doing full-face makeup. I watched and watched tutorials on YouTube and I would practice them on my face in front of my mirror as well as on someone else’s face.
~ End of the brief backstory ~
The Beauty Fair by Chalk.Ph was held in UP Town Center last August 18 and 19 (Saturday and Sunday), which gave me the chance to experience my first beauty fair. Our trip there was very short though and I didn’t get enough time to roam around and actually participate in their programs because I still had other things to attend to that day – we went there on Saturday and arrived at UPTC just before lunchtime and left just before 1 PM.
It kind of made me sad because I wanted to see all the beauty gurus and experts that Chalk.Ph had in store for the people who were coming – maybe even take a picture with them, if I’m not mistaken, Ms. Anne Clutz (better known as Mama Anne) was present and dropped by – and I wanted to participate in their talks that would eventually give me more advice, tips, and ideas on how to do my makeup, skincare, and etc. better.
Chalk.Ph also had a gimmick where the first 100 people who were coming would receive a goodie bag (the photo with the white eco bag), just present the receipts that you’ve bought from the brands/booths and/or products that were a part of their program. It was filled with food as well as other products like makeup, facial wash, hair products and even napkins/pantyliners.
Everyone was very nice and very welcoming that they were very engaging (good sales talk LOL) with their customers, I was tempted to even buy some eyeshadow palettes that I have been eyeing for a long time. But I only got to buy a few things because I still was saving money – I was a broke fresh grad looking for a job – to buy other makeup products that would be of a better deal since some came in bundles which are a steal than the ones I saw in the beauty fair booths.
~~~
PRODUCT REVIEW TIME!
1. ANNE CLUTZ BRUSHES A. Ultimate Beginner Brush Set [watch here] -  PHP 500.00 B. Eye Essentials Set [watch here] -  PHP 800.00
Tumblr media
When doing a full face makeup without the right tools is quite hard, yes fingers can be used to blend but there are certain things that I prefer using a brush. So with it, I have been waiting and saving my money to buy the Anne Clutz Brushes – both the Ultimate Beginner Brush Set and the Eye Essentials set – which will ultimately be the very first complete brush collection I have on my vanity. These brush sets honestly surprised me because not only are they at a cheaper price than most sets out there, but there are of good quality!
I watched Ms. Anne introduce the brushes on her YouTube channel where she told all the details there is to know about the brushes, from the design to the type of bristles it has and all of that. But that didn’t solely cement my plan in buying those brushes. It was also her vlog videos where I got to witness her and her family, as well as the Anne Clutz Brushes team, do a quality control with each brush that is delivered to them from the manufacturer – seeing that convinced me that the brushes I plan on buying will be good.
And they are.
The brushes were not only aesthetically pleasing to me but the way they feel made it even better. The bristles of the brushes weren’t the type that would feel prickly on the skin, a pet peeve for me especially remembering the brushes the makeup artist used on my face when I got my graduation photo taken. It is not the type of brush na kinakaskas na yung mukha mo at kulang nalang mabalatan na, it was definitely soft!
The product pick up is also good and the blend-ability of the brushes are A+ that I wouldn’t need to go in for another dip or dab on my makeup products unless I needed to layer them on.
A little tip!
Tumblr media
Have a container that is not as tall or taller than your shortest makeup brush because then you’ll have to dig through and ‘contaminate’ your other brushes, or you’ll be holding/getting your brush by the bristles which will dirty and ruin them faster.
A quick fix is to put pebbles/marbles, or in my case, old chubby stars I did back in high school for it to be more leveled higher than the lid if my brush holder. This will then let me hold them by the handle of the brush itself.
2. SUNKISSED ORGANIC CLAY BLUSH - PHP 200.00
Tumblr media
*This shade is perf for the tisay-naarawan-lang look*
Since everyone’s raving about this ‘dupe’ for the Luna Clay blush, that has apparently been ‘faked’ (not sure if you knew about the hearsay of what happened but to make the story short, the online shop RMK ay naloko ng supplier with regards to the Luna Clay Blush so they had to hold and replace all products with this one instead.. that’s from what I read so far, but please still do your research because I haven’t been updated with what really did happen.).
I’m not sure what the brand is or if the brand name really is ‘Clay Blush’ but I have to mention that I was quite hesitant in trying this one because as I’ve mentioned in the backstory that my skin is considered sensitive. But I’m glad that despite the simple packaging, this product had the good sense of stating what the ingredients are in it.
Components:
Candellila Wax
VCO
Grapeseed oil
Iron Oxide
Shea Butter
That’s basically everything that is said on the back, like in plain text that’s just it – no design whatsoever, there are a lot of video reviews of this product on YouTube so go check that out too.
The product is like a deodorant stick but smaller, it’s small with an estimate of 3 1/4 inches from top to bottom of the product. But it packs a punch. By that, I mean it’s very VERY pigmented so I don’t just go swiping it across my cheeks because I wouldn’t look sun-kissed anymore – I would look like a tomato or someone who was having an allergic reaction from something because of how red my face turned out.
But if I were to directly put it on my face, I would do a dabbing motion that will be enough to put color on my cheeks na parang naarawan lang 😉 It smells like a scented candle, by the way, but it doesn’t really bother me as much.
Another tip!
If I accidentally put too much, I would not rub it off. I will lightly dust it with my pressed powder (that matches my skin color) which will not only settle the product on my face but will also mute down the intensity of the color.
UPDATED REVIEW (2020) I was not halfway the product when I started to notice little bumps on my skin, it basically clogged my pores (for your info, I am a combination oil and dry skin type). No matter how much I washed/exfoliated my face after using the product, I still ended up having those tiny bumps on my skin. I proven this because after taking a break from using it, my skin cleared but when I tried it again, they all returned the next day. Sadly, it was a no for me. But maybe it might work for others.
3. FACEMASKS A. Tomato Face Mask - PHP 25.00/ea B. Charcoal Face Mask - PHP 25.00/ea
Tumblr media
Ever since I got interested in makeup, skincare suddenly became a priority in my life. And within my 3rd year in college, I was introduced to face masks! My first face mask was a Tony Moly Snail Face mask, a friend of mine told me to put it in the ref before putting it on my face so it felt much cooler. That also started my mom’s “addiction” to using face masks - she’ll keep asking me what were good face masks for certain problems a face would have like wrinkles, sagging, redness etc.
These Face Masks (Tomato and Charcoal) are also from the same booth/shop I bought the Sunkissed Clay blush. RMK is an online shop, they have a physical store in Pure Gold Libertad, where they have a lot of products that they sell and the reviews are really good. The face masks were more for my mom than me, each was worth 25 pesos so mom bought them immediately.
Tip!
When we use our face masks, we specifically use it AFTER our weekly Aztec Clay Mask session because it cools down our faces and settles the redness that came when using the clay mask.
~~~
That’s about it for my product reviews, but I’ll show you some of the freebies I got in the goodie bag that we got.
Tumblr media
We got (LEFT TO RIGHT)
A hair lotion (I gave those to my sister) that oddly smells like a salon. It claims to define and hold curls longer. And my sister confirmed this to be a good product.
Sun gel & cleanser from Face Republic that I have yet to try
Liquid metallic lipsticks from Revlon that I gave to someone else because it wasn’t my type
Lipsticks from Skin Potion which has a sheer finish, they both have the same red shade.
A pantyliner/napkin that I will be giving to someone else
and lastly, a Facial exfoliating cleanser from CURE that I have yet to try out
And that’s basically it!

[1/5] Hhhhhh I’m sorry I was so silent >.< I had a big exam today and tbh I was lowkey (highkey) freaking out over it yesterday and the day before?? I didn’t even realize I was so nervous because of the exam until I finished it today. I hope it went alright but… yeah I don’t know. *throws all my attention at you* I’m back now, I hope you didn’t miss me too much ;;;; Also it makes me kinda sad to see people playing Ateez’ wins down like that? Just because they’re such a young group?
[2/5] They have a huge fanbase already, their views and sales are doing well – so I doubt kq bought the wins… Like I get the saltiness when you see a super young group have their first win instead of your faves, especially if your faves have been in the industry for far longer, I’m not gonna lie I feel it too sometimes. But those rookies still deserve their awards. They’ve worked their *sses off just like everyone else, and they will continue to do so I’m sure.
[3/5] I’m just happy for them, plus they’re one group less that has to go through the pressure of finally getting their first win when people think they’re already “overdue”. lol don’t we all have those fics that once seemed like a good idea until they kinda just.. weren’t anymore? I abandoned so many stories in my life, I’d feel bad listing them all^^” (tbh I can’t even remember all of them) And I had to google Arcana, but now that I know what it is I actually keep getting ads for that xD
[4/5] Is the game good? - “it’s only a man what will I lose” okay I had to laugh at that but it’s actually a really nice mindset? You don’t have to keep pursuing someone who isn’t interested… I guess you’d only end up getting hurt and wasting your time on waiting for something that will most likely never happen… (that’s something teenage me should’ve understood sooner lol…) Oh also since you said you might get into SF9 - I mean they are my ults sooo I could help you get into them if you want 👀
AAAAHHHHH omf! I really hope your exam went well! Did you get a break after the exam? I can imagine the stress but please remember that you did your best in the given circumstances ok? I was just a little worried about where you were? Don't worry about me being whiny aha. Just focus on the next exam if there's any and make sure you get your breaks and don't overwork yourself okay? Make sure you eat and drink enough water and get at least four hours of sleep if not six, aight? What was the exam about?
And yeah, it makes me a little smad about how people are sidelining and downplaying their achievements because they won even though they're new. Like I understand being disappointed but??? they worked just as hard for this win. Probably worked a little harder because they're new and they need to make sure they give their 900% so that people will notice them. I don't understand the whole idea of disregarding another group's hardwork when your group loses, ngl. Like just because you're sad doesn't mean you can shit on someone else. I really hope SF9 will get a win though because RPM is hella nice. Their music in general is nice aaahhh so I hope it'll pay off and they'll get what they deserve :/
Arcana aaahhh yes. It's actually good. I love the artwork for the game and the way they don't force any gender specific MC designs is hella heartening like there isn't a default design at all and just ;-;;;;; I appreciate that so much I'm not even kidding. Plus the characters are diverse in terms of identity??? And just bless that stuff. And I really really fuck with the way the story is written out?? You know the developers put their heart and soul into it. The only thing that's a little sad is that you require to have game coins to do select of the options and since you only get a limited number of coins at the beginning of the game + you need to buy the coins, it's a little difficult but there's mod versions for that even if they are like not recent updated versions aha.
Overdue, abandoned works are all I have most of time I'm not even kidding. Half of them I think I should delete bc I don't think I'll ever go back to them because I don't write like that anymore and also??? I don't stan those groups as much as I used to? Like I have BTS, ASTRO and GOT7 wips and I know I won't ever finish them??? But the plots for those are p well thought out and the idea of losing them makes me sad. I keep thinking I'll revamp them to a group I do stan now but idek if I'll do that ahaha.
I'd honestly love it if you helped me get into SF9 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 I found their drama when it released and I was literally obsessed with Sole Mio and Mamma Mia when those came out. Idk why I never got into them honestly.
Also about my attitude,,,, it's actually come after such a long time?? Like teenager me would have benefited so much if I had this attitude back then because I know I took so many hits on my self esteem when my friends would start dating or have boys ask them out and I didn't??? Half of it now is bc I look at Irene and I'm like "there's no way she would want me to be sad about a boy not liking me" and hhhh I'm nothing if not willing to live up to the people I admire. This boy though,,,,, I think I'm more sad because I know he started talking to me because he was interested in me? And I like talking to him bc he never did try any moves (I know he was interested in me bc of a very interesting story) so I was genuinely 🥰🥺 about it. And he's nice to talk to so I'm just really sad about how he'll stop talking to me when he loses interest :/ It's just a little disappointing. It was nice to be friends with him.
Sorry about replying so late, my wifi was being wonky so the answer wouldn’t post??? and then I went out with a friend so I couldn’t reply until rn

Kinda sad and discouraging to see so many people feel like they aren’t being heard or having as much fun in FR anymore.  I know I am not but then again I never really got deeply invested as maybe some people did or still do.  
Don’t get me wrong it’s fun to come up with fun things to do with your dragons.  Little plots and stories and lore and art.  All of that is fun.  Yet it can get stagnant after a while if you don’t continue to have that spark.  I think that is part of my own issue.  Nothing has really truly sparked me.  I get ideas for my dragons and I would love to do more with them but I know what is one of the biggest things holding my back right now.  Treasure.
I can not seem to get enough treasure to gene my dragons how I want to.  And that is what holds me back.  I will look at my dragons and go ‘eh... I will do this or that once I get my lair fixed right.’
I have such a hard time accumulating what I need.  Only recently have I finished 1 dragon that was back from the Fire Festival. 4 More dragons from there for festivals to catch up, then 3 other projects. 2 that aren’t dire and so many more than need updates.
What I wish FR would do is really give us something that isn’t mindlessly numbing to make treasure.  Games get boring fast.  Coli is also the same repetitive clicking. I’ve tried the AH but it’s the weirdest shit I have to sale to make anything, sometimes its battle stuff, other times its familiars. 
Art?  Well that takes time that I have already devoted to real money than virtual money. Also that isn’t part of the FR system of making any cash.  Same goes for lair reviews and writing.  All are great things and help bring people together but these are not exactly site offered entertainment. 
So my point is, the site is stagnating and it is more than just the issues of story telling.  It is just over all demoralizing to be stuck with this constant need to scrounge every cent every five minutes and maybe get a lucky drop in gathering or coli that you might need or be willing to sale.  RNG is making me sick and I want more than a stead stream of familiars and clothing to appease me anymore. Cause that is what is is familiars every month and some new apperal every few months.  The are is pretty, gorgeous and inspiring at times but it isn’t a new game or a new element of the site.
