I Hear Good things but Still...

I Hear Good things but Still...

Was feeling pretty good today and decided to pop a few headliners and got her. However, with all the praise she's received this far, I need to be sure, because her mechanic has messed up my entire Eliza gameplay since the update (I've lost so many Sink or Swim matches because of it).

To those who've already maxed her out, how does she fare, and will she somehow attract an unwarranted nerf from the devs?

Is this Burn Out?

All I want to do is write, but I can't write if I don't have a world to write in, so I started planet building. A few searches here and there lead me to Artefixian's and Madeline's guides and I thought, absolutely.

​

But there's so much stuff to consider when building a world with realism in mind and it's slowly leeching my enjoyment of the process. If it's not tectonics, it's wind patterns and pressures and ocean currents and who knows what else.

​

I thought, I could lean into the weirder aspects of my world (like magic) a little more to circumvent things, but you have to know the rules before you break them, and I found my way back to everything that I was trying to avoid.

​

I'm losing my taste for realism, yet I can't seem to escape it. I tried to take a break but I kept coming back whenever I had free time only to stop out of frustration because there's always something else to look into first before going forward that it's overwhelming me. And this is all just the planet part, what happens when I get into all the other stuff? Will I have to study evolution? Languages? Anthropology? How do successful authors even do this stuff?

​

To top it all off, I can't even commission any part of this because I can't afford to, which I thought was fine at first, I get to do it myself.

​

If anyone's gone through this, did you ever overcome it? I'd like some advice because like I said, all I want to do is write, everything else just seems to be getting in the way.

Rate my Branded/Force.

Took about an hour and who knows how many Retakes (they really need to give something, anything in the vein of fixing this system) but I feel like these builds are okay for now. If Shear Force's stats seem odd it's coz I built them primarily for her, but with Scale Tipper in mind.

So, with that said, give it to me straight, did I fumble, or are they at least okay?

My first ever Mountains.

Finally got around to putting down the mountains on my first map and was hoping for some feedback.

It's a supercontinent that will later break, though not through tectonics as I'm still learning GPlates and was getting too itchy to start writing so I went the _gods_ route for this world.

If the mountains seem too large it's because I'm trying to visualize the Ten Peaks, evidence that the World Spirit pushed upwards and from the sea came land. They won't be that large in the second draft (or I may leave them since I kind of dig it). I was also trying out different styles from Maps by Owen.

I'll clarify if any more context is needed. Thanks in advance.

They undid the Medici Rewards Buff too.

So, did we only get the Medici buff because of the restrictions in character PFs? Because this kind of implies that.

We just can't have nice things in SGM huh.

Decided to make a map for my stories. I've placed landmasses so far and wanted some feedback.

Or is it just me? It started after the update, I play a few games, it goes well, and then five or so of them later this lagging starts. And it's only during fights too, everything else seems fine.

Thought it was my phone for a second (keep thinking it is to be honest) but it's the only app doing this. Is it one of the ten billion bugs that came with the update?
