I honestly love the little jokes and references in Saleblazers - from trash talking customers saying if this was a game, the player wouldn't be their favourite NPC merchant (or something along those lines, I think) to detective Dionysus protecting a winery, topped off by officer Doughnut -

This knight in shining armour tried to give me valuable advice, but I am a stubborn gremlin, so...

...I did go to the snowy mountains in THAT outfit ✨ (pink kitty slippers had to stay on as well)

But truth be told, I made it just fine, finished the quest line and explored, and it was fun -

(Game: Saleblazers)

Not looking for a moment... And chaos unfolds itself 🔥🍿

Feels weird to sell weapons of any kind to the customers, since they then point them at me at checkout 💀

Getting ready for some questionable actions as a shopkeeper 😈🔥

I've played a little bit of Saleblazers so far, but I definitely had a blast - I bet it's even more fun with friends! 💚

When game gives you fire, make a pretty bonfire to torment your enemies 🔥🔥🔥

In case anyone struggled with Craftopia's Cave of Reflection puzzle as much as I did, here's the pattern, hope it might be useful 💚

I love how much chaos and cursed stuff can be done in the Sims, makes the game not only a sort of a potential rage room, but it's also absolutely hilarious -

And for an example, here's my recent cursed moment that made me giggle just like back in the good old days, when I played the game for the first time ✨

Being poor and trying to not cheat money for one in my life, I tried saving some money by having my Sims eat from picnic baskets left in the park, but this old lady cleared the basket just before my sim could grab a plate and I remembered that I have not only free will, but also power ✨ (of non-money cheats, because I can't just not use those)

So I gave her a makeover (and added a safety vest, because she will need it for the ride that's awaiting her!)

I triggered aging and then quickly changed her into a toddler, so that she would turn into the creepy, very long adult/toddler hybrid -

And then she aged up to a ghost and the cursed work was done! 👌

(The Grim reaper didn't even touch her and got permastuck in the park, to top it off -)

I might be an adult, but in my heart, I'm still the same little gremlin who messed with the game for years and it seems I won't grow out of it 💀

My sleep paralysis demon at 4am, getting ready to haunt me -

We tend to set goals and the book/reading apps greatly support that with various tools that track our progress and give us a rush of dopamine for seeing the numbers go up as we climb towards our goals, BUT.

I've seen so many people feeling bad about not reading fast enough, not reading enough books in a month or a year. Motivation is nice, but it can be harmful, too - which defeats the whole purpose of reading, that being enjoying the stories and soaking in the books, living in them and having fun.

What I'm trying to say... Don't push yourself too hard, read at your own pace. Slow, fast, irregular, small bits every day - all is valid. We shouldn't forget that reading is a hobby, not a chore and all readers are valid no matter how fast they read or how many books they've read. Just live through the pages 💚

I have no idea how I wanted to render really dark hair like hers but I like how it turned out. Still waiting for the day we're able to get tattoos from her.
