I appreciate your very clear and easy to follow explanations, dear @Klinn, as I also appreciate your photos of issues, like the routing system.

It is indeed disappointing to go through this. 

I was 'admiring' the interior design. 

Very nice!!!! 

First, damned restrictions for penthouse building!!!!! 

Second, I absolutely LOVE YOUR FLYING CAR and it landing pad!!!!! 

Third, I'd like to see some Zoi trying to save a ball going off to the right of the basket! But, please! 

Fourth, Lady FeliDiva must have been a SENSATION!!! 

Fifth, I'd go for a Horror Music Marathon for a whole weekend before tuning into THAT OTHER STATION!!! 

Sixth, I think your billboards are just fine, thanks. 

SO witty, @Klinn  

Rose, I don't like it, but I think it is related to how their original target audience communicates through online live discussions. Companies get 'immediate feedback', even if that feedback does not come from all types of players. The ones I think they targeted are from a generation of players who are most often used to and enjoy sharing whatever over online real-time platforms.

Thank you for your highlights, @Klinn

Jury is still out on this one, but basically they're going to be abandoning the 'large' cities they've created and let users play in small towns, i.e. something that they think their tech can actually support. This is not necessarily a bad direction to take but it basically means the game itself is being reinvented. Will players get pissed off?

From what I've read, it's not clear if this is intended to mesh with their multiplayer development. That could sink it, if there is no single-player option.

I would actually like smaller towns instead of the huge cities they have now, except, of course, for the multiplayer aspect. Considering my thoughts on the target audience I described above, I lean towards believing those players would not like 'towns' instead of 'cities'.

If you dig down into it, you'll find a couple of development targets intended for multiplayer:

• Create and save your account-linked personal character (“Zoi”).
• Update the online-only “My Zoi” feature.

Sure, because people play life-sim games so they can only have one fixed character. Brilliant.

I literally have no words.  

I think they've found their golden egg goose in the Kits, which may mean less effort and more frequent income.

I'd also would love to see the end of patches to the game, because I am of that old guard that was used to receiving a finished product when buying something, even a digital product.

EA may say that there will be an end to those patches, but remember how they did that with TS3. They still got out a quite unnecessary patch shortly after TS4 was first launched in 2014. Also, if I'm not mistaken, there was yet another sort of patch to TS3 much more recently?

In truth, I don't believe EA at all anymore.

Ah! That they should!!! It's like that saying, right? "Do as I say, not as I do?"

Did some more testing and it turns out one of the fridges is bugged. It's the super duper reward fridge your Zoi receives when their cooking skill becomes high enough. If you use it, the stove become non-interactive. Get rid of it and the stove works again. Weird.

What? Good thing you found out about this!

So far a variety of doughnuts, muffins, and cookies, including some Christmas-themed cookies. Yum. 

I like the way all those look!! Please, have Fred send over a few samples?

No complaints from me. It's feeling a bit hotter around here also. 

Totally understandable, dear kitty and Fzzy. The game patching era is still very frustrating for me.

@Klinn I hope they give discounts for the shrink appointments to Zois created during the early access period!!!

"Add K-pop and stage performance content"

I love your rants, @Klinn They are very informative as well as, well, ranty. 

The game is progressing, but I agree that it seems as if they do the theoretically needed fix, without testing it from different moments in game. 

Great to know you are playing and that your mod works as intended, as I have not had time to play recently.

Unless, of course, you have Matt Damon's Martian as the castaway who "scienced the shit out of it" and made them grow in otherwise dead, salt-saturated beach sand? 

That was sooooo far fetched, wasn't it? How convenient!!!

In a way I am totally glad to see they are releasing fix after fix after fix, but on the other hand, I wonder if waiting a bit longer to test the fixes together would help more?

I want a jet pack! 

Ooooh! VERY TS3 style, huh? 

That is not only a regular bus! It's a limousine service to the airport!!! Right on your floor!!! You don't even need to get down in the elevator to get it!!! What else could you hope for in service?? 

The quality of the videos makes it even more sublime!!!!

Generative tools may have their place where errors are not as critical, when creating something that is “good enough” is OK, but betting the management of a company on them is sheer folly.

Totally agree, and it also makes me distrust the commitment of the company towards its customers.

If an employee sent me a report that was created with an AI LLM tool, they would get a severe reprimand and a warning that being lazy and using something that only regurgitates crap it's been fed will lead to a negative performance review or worse. I hire them for their insights, not for a collection of badly generated errors.

Oh, yes!!! But you are so right in saying "lazy", because I think these more recent generations are exactly that: so lazy that they love something that helps them not to think. It is scary, isn't it?

Using a tool which is widely known to make countless errors and “hallucinations”

It also worries me how people are now calling AI errors "hallucinations"; if people assign that term to software error, they are already giving AI a human quality.

Based on the AI having such hallucinations, which Terminator Model would be trying to kill Sarah or John Connor?

Ugh, multiplayer. 

Huh, I kept thinking that maybe the guy just wanted to make enough money to have his facial makeover? He looks much younger than when he was actually young!!!

Dear @Klinn, your updates are super important to me, thank you for keep sharing them.

I definitely need a more recent graphics card to play InZoi without crashes, and that is not in the horizon for me yet. I appreciate whatever you siwh to share about the game and its improvements! 

Glad to see the little monsters will now leave your Zoi's house!!!

The next day he picked the pumpkins he had been growing and immediately used one to carve a pumpkin head for himself.

All this was autonomously? A sort of Halloween prank from the Devs?

I feel the same way. Hoping that the buyout would not affect the game much, but with one foot in reality.
