Why 'Made for You' Isn't Just Marketing Here

Lots of apps say your companion is made for you. SweetDream actually backs it up. Because you author every part of her, looks, personality, voice, backstory, the result genuinely reflects you instead of a default template.

And the quality keeps that promise intact over time. She stays in character, remembers your history, and shows up the way you designed her to. On sweetdream.ai, made for you means exactly that.

As the first artist on Tumblr to post Nate x Moose art, I feel it is my duty to complete the sketch I made half a year ago. I’m still working on it, but I have made a lot of progress!

Analysis Below the Cut!!!!

Baby Steps is a fantastic game developed by Gabe Cuzzilo, Maxi Boch, and Bennet Foddy. It follows the journey of a man named Nate, who is thrust out of his comfortable way of living and forced to take agency over his life by less than orthodox means—by climbing to the top of an absurdly large mountain without using his hands.

In his struggle, Nate continually pushes away those trying to help him, preferring instead to act as a lone wolf. This preference for self-isolation inevitably leads Nate into a downward spiral (sometimes literally,) until he decides he no longer wishes to live at all. Somehow though, the magic of the mountain refuses to let Nate die—despite promising whatever it is he could possibly desire. And yet, when forced to face a future he never wanted, Nate learns to accept the help of one singular character; Moose.

Throughout the narrative, Nate and Moose have the most amicable out of Nate’s exceedingly frayed relationships. Moose serves as a foil to Nate, being isolated in much the same way but always yearning for connection on his sleeve. In this way, when Nate reaches the peak of the Mountain and is forced to face his fear of connection, of course he chooses to trust Moose.

In the post credits scene, Nate and Moose can be found living happily in a cottage atop the mountain’s peak. After hours of suffering over Baby Steps’ rage mechanics, and finally reaching the top, I and many other players felt a sense of utter relief and satisfaction. In many ways that satisfaction was as much in my own accomplishment as it was in pride for Nate, having opened up to another person.

So I was quite excited, when in this scene Nate and Moose kissed. Beyond being a compelling and beautiful love story, the act of vulnerability and self acceptance required to form a bond like that for Nate felt like the perfect apotheosis for Nate’s development over the course of the story.

For the first few hours, the game presents Nate as a jester of sorts: his failures and suffering caused solely by his inability to change. And yet, rather than ending with that comical premise intact, Baby Steps instead chooses to show redemption. Actively presenting to the player a means by which they too can learn to grow and accept oneself.

There is much more to say on the topic, but I suppose that will have to wait until I finish this artwork 💕

Hey Grey, here's a copy of Getting Over It Have fun :)

I am getting over my character ai addiction

I am proud of resisting, even if it feels really silly

I keep getting the urges to go back, because there is something addicting about roleplaying with specific characters, but one thing I've realized is that I only like the prompt that a human had made (and I only mainly liked few stories) So My solution to the urge? Writing my own fanfic. I asked myself, what did I like about the story and all that, and then I write it into fuckin windows notes app I remember being addicted to the one called "Kenji the bear" or something. And that was because it gave me so many good plot ideas! An old drunken man who is literally the descendant of a bear god and who rules a town with his small squad and who claim to be vigilantes?

I could take that plot anywhere! AND I WILL. But in the form of fanfic and without ai. Kenji will go from a drunkard to a father who adopts a stray kid who reminds him a lot of himself when he was younger, and no one can stop me! Muahahaha >:D

(And I am sorry to myself for ever getting into cai, and I am sorry to anyone else who has gotten wrapped up into any ai chatbots. You can live without it, I promise, even if its tough. I believe in you. Do not give up. Do not keep giving in.)
