The Lunatic's Retreat

 Hi, Tommy again! I've decided to make my first Ironsworn Starforged Campaign a Mecha themed one, I had played quite alot of Dynasty Warriors Gundam in the past and Gurren Lagann is still my favorite anime so I made this game a Mecha game. It's also taking some traits from the video game Rimworld, namely my modded playthroughs of that game. The thing am serious about changing in this game are as follows... NO CHAT GPT ALLOWED ANYMORE!  Why you ask? simple, I got lazy and would rely too heavily on it. plus I think it reflects poorly on myself as a creative to use it. I have to make things on my own and put in the work to make something now. That's not to condemn people who do use it though, like any other tool AI has it's place, it's just am bad at self control and would just make the AI do the work for me too often to make something good. plus AI is kinda bad at making original stuff. On to the start of the Actual Play/Replay stuff now. The game I will be playing is...

 Hello again, this is Tommy. I just recently got a copy of the TTRPG Ironsworn:Starforged.  It's a paid overhaul/Sci-fi reskin of the free solo RPG Ironsworn. I figured while I prep the game for play I go over some of the ideas I have for TTRPGs on this blog, plus it's still here so I should get into the habit of updating anyways. Anyways I took a break from the blog after the last time I played Sims 3, tried out Sims 4 base game to see if I would like it better, still unsure about that game but that's not the point. I have lots of ideas for projects and hobbies I just don't have a lot of focus or motivation to finish them usually, a bad habit I still struggle with to this day.  Back on topic I want to try doing some TTRPG stuff on this blog, similar to what I used to do on the old Imperfect Game blog. I think this new Ironsworn game will be a good excuse to do that. perhaps it will be a simple actual play blog series or maybe if I want I can make a podcast or video ser...

 Hi, been a few days but am still doing well. Been working on the future webcomic I plan to make, still early and am not sure if it will happen yet but am gonna try for it anyways. I've still been playing the Sims 3 recently. I've made dozens of sims based on existing series like Touhou Project, Sonic, even my own OCs to an extent. I've been trying to avoid what I would call my "Model Train syndrome" where I spend hours prepping a world with custom households and lots. It's great when it works don't get me wrong but I hardly get to play the actual game until a week later. plus I've done Sims 3 this way for quite too long to continue. So I've started playing a throwaway save file in Sunset Valley with my favorite Touhou characters. The grassroots trio from Double Dealing Character. These three are my favorite characters in Touhou because they got the kind of Monster girl theme going for them. Kagerou is a werewolf, Wakasagihime is the mermaid and Se...

 If you're followed along the Sims series anytime in the past decade you'll likely know that the objective best entry in the series is Sims 3. it's easy to see why once you see the features it has. Open-World towns, Endless customization for almost any object thanks to the "Create a Style" feature and it's many expansion packs actually add stuff to the game unlike the newest entry Sims 4. Though it's still recommended to get the Sims 3 packs on sale. Steam is pretty good when the holidays come around for this. The major downsides of Sims 3 are pretty huge though, Bug fixes are pretty much essential for this game and performance may never truly be perfect. (even though it runs well enough on my Potato PC) The visuals of the Sims themselves can be argued for being rather bad as it feels too realistic yet not real enough to be a good look. I would prefer the cartoon look of Sims 4 or even Sims 2 (which am considering playing one day). Honestly it never really...

Hi, my name is Tommy Lovett but you can just call me either Technicalgerm or AriesTheFool as I go by both usernames. (mostly due to not wanting to pay Deviant-Art.com for a name change) The purpose of this first post is to setup the basic intentions for this blog am calling The Lunatic's Retreat . I chose this name to add both a nod to my favorite game series Touhou Project and reflect my daily struggles with Psychosis. (Don't worry am on meds and am living a better life now.) The purpose of this blog is to give me a good low-effort way to share the on-going events in my life, I technically tried this on a Wix blog before a few years back but am not happy with it anymore and thus want to make a Blogger.com blog instead. Anyways here is what you can MAYBE expect if I don't abandon the blog in a few days later. 1. Blog posts about my current gaming experiences. like lately I've been trying to get back into the Sims 3 as I finally got the last missing DLC a while ago and...
