Gonna write a story based on my current Nuzlocke. For my story, the Nuzlocke rules are only for the MC (and maybe a few other incredibly unfortunate people) and is akin to a curse. Some legendary hates these guys and does not want them getting a pokemon team/power, but for my made up lore legendaries aren’t allowed to straight up kill mortals unprovoked, so they have to settle for cursing them. This also helps explain why legendaries aren’t interfering in evil schemes despite me making (some of) them fully intelligent beings and not indifferent arseholes.

I really wanted to avoid making it a rule for every trainer, because then it just wouldn’t make logistical sense for rivals, gym leaders, team bosses etc. have the same team for every battle. I could change their teams for each battle, yes, but that is a massive pain and I’d rather stick closer to the battles that actually happen in my run. Also then Pokémon society would be so, so much crueler than in canon…which can work for some stories, but not mine.

‘I’m curious how other writers might tackle this. I’ve pretty much made up my mind on this but I still want to hear other ideas out of curiosity.

Dawg help me. My hands are always covered in a sheen of sweat even when I am not warm. It makes working with any kind of force really really hard, especially considering I am already scrawny. I just started training and couldn’t even manage safety wire cause I couldn’t maintain my grip on the wire or tools. I don’t want to have to wear gloves for every little task, and that only helps temporarily anyways as eventually they get damp themselves. Is there any way to stop this? like deodorant for the hands?? thanks.

Advice please. My guests are unhappy, around 60% and dropping. Before I added the most recent (and most popular) habitat, it was around 70-75% and stable. Now all of a sudden 50% of the guests are complaining about it being too small despite only going up in animal/habitat number. Their needs are all in the green. Their experiences with animals are mostly good. Individual guests will have a history with all good experiences and yet happiness at 10%. I’m confused. Help?

I want a hysterectomy. Soon. However, I will be in mechanics training/school for the next two years with no breaks longer than three weeks. Id obviously try to schedule it for one of those breaks, but I doubt I’d be up to physical work after just two or three weeks of recovery. However, I really cannot miss any days, attendance is strict. Does anyone have experience of getting surgery and having to sit out of physical work for a few weeks but still attending/watching? How do you carry your stuff around when you aren’t supposed to lift more than like 5 pounds? I’m sure my school will work with me, but I’m trying to find any unexpected issues before they occur, you know?

88 hours in the game and I’ve never had a zoo large enough to actually require planning out staff and building distribution (kept deleting shit cause it looked bad). Now I do. Everything is hitting the fan at once

crime is insane. I have security cameras but guards dont do much. Vandalism and pickpocketing tanking my guest happiness.

‘Litter is also insane. More caretakers solved some but not all of the issue. Having 10 caretakers for a zoo with only 2 habitats (it’s mostly exhibits) feels nutty

Keepers seem to have trouble keeping up with cleanliness specifically, and I really can’t just hire 10 keepers, they are more expensive than caretakers

I’m pretty sure my staff path placement is dogshit and my staff buildings just feel randomly placed down whenever I realize I need more

I think my guest paths are also pretty bad, congestion is becoming an issue

‘It seems like individual guest needs refuse to go above the 75% mark even though I practically spam food, drinks, benches and bathrooms

Im having frequent issues with animals spontaneously boxing themselves up (it seems to be an issue with terrain navigation, but I don’t know why)

Basically if anyone has tips for layout planning…or a video/guide to watch I would appreciate it, especially for hard mode specifically. Guides I see are all about building

My voice has dropped 3 months on T to the point I can speak lower/in my chest more comfortably. It still takes effort but doesnt hurt or get tired/strained. I thought it sounded way better, yesterday my mom said it was deeper but today she said it sounded ‘forced‘ and told me to ‘talk normally’. Now I just feel really embarrassed. I don’t want to talk ‘normally’, i sound like a fucking girl. I tried recording to tell but I couldn’t really hear a difference. So how do I tell if I sound like a 12 year old tryna sound tuff or not

p much the title. I’m very nervous, I’ve never had to do anything legal like this before. A kind attorney filed everything for me (for free!) and obviously she knows what she is doing, but I’m still worried I’ll get somehow denied even though my case is pretty standard and the chance is almost 0. I know it only takes 5 or 10 minutes but I’m still feeling like shit thinking about it. At least it’s online. Any reassurance or tips would help me thx bros
