I am on a cloud. Since I posted the picture of my game, I have collected 1,420-something more coins. My goal is to get to 10,000 before the final day of their sale - if they do that again, and then spend, spend, spend! I have the glowing crown and the matching glowing sword, but there are other glowing items to match that I hope to chance across. Like the glowing wings.
It'll suck, being broke again, but I have waited all year to see if JuneBud would do another June sale. I'm hoping it's annual; and if it was a one-time thing, I guess I can save. Either way, it sounds like a win. I'm just dreading having to sit here, opening 356 boxes one at a time. And most of them require a double-click because they have two prizes. Some even have three. But I really, really want to get rid of all those treasure chests.
And once that's done...that account is finished, really; until someone informs me on how I can unlock the five worlds I haven't discovered yet. I think I need to defeat one of the biggest, meanest enemies to get there; in which case I would have to spend more gems than I have - 2.6 million, almost. I'm collecting as fast as I can, but the special ammunition is ridiculously expensive. Five bullets cost five grand, and each shot takes three bullets. I might be thirty before I can defeat his big robot ass. But once I have no more treasure chests to open, I won't even care that I can't access five other levels. Well, six, but one of them requires membership, which requires real money.
In all truth, I have a few accounts on Facebook...I know at least one other has more lockboxes I want to clear. The game is great, but it's lacking some options, and one of them is to sell treasure chests. Note to self: Stop collecting them. I've mastered that; once I achieve my goal I'll only collect what I can afford to open.
I'm sorry. I don't like to admit this, but I'm nerdy as hell and need another hobby. I do hate sounding like Eugene Porter, with all this damn game talk. I do have other hobbies, I swear. Earlier today I wanted to bake; maybe by now it's cool enough.

Do the missions require teamwork? I prefer to do missions that I can solo (I dislike working with people unless I know them in real life, and there aren't many of those).
ReplyDeleteThe only game I play right now that actually has missions (Sims 3 doesn't, obviously) is Champions Online, and most of the missions can be done single-player, but for some of them you need FOUR other people. And you almost always get a door-sitter who takes up space on the team so s/he can get the XP but never actually helps :(
I dislike working with people, too. Luckily all the missions in this game are done solo, unless people kill the attacking enemies while you're busy digging stuff up.
DeleteI'm like you that way; I like to play the game on my own. I have this one friend who wants me to follow him everywhere he goes, but he has lousy performance and goes offline every two minutes. That and when you're in a group, which he always wants to be, you can't go anywhere unless the whole team consents, so I'm stuck on that map until his game crashes. When he's gone I take off as fast as I can, but he always catches up. I don't want to tell him to go away, because even though he uses me to level up, he's still company. I'm always complaining that the maps are all ghost towns.
When people want to help me - not in quests, just for fun; I've completed all quests on the available maps - I throw down health kits and defend them. I hate door-sitters, so I'm not one.
You sound like a wonderful teammate :)
DeleteI hate being stalked in-game, though; I've had a few who said hi every time I logged on - and even that's too much for me; sometimes when I log on, all I want to do is sit around and watch everyone else talk without being messaged or asked to help level up :p
I don't care much for the conversation part of it all. I just want to collect my coins, see that other people still play, and log out. If I enjoy their company it's different, but that hasn't happened in MilMo yet. And I've been playing for a year and almost two months.
DeleteI don't normally care much for other people's yapping either, but I've learned a lot by just 'listening' (watching the chat window, of course). Sometimes people are actually funny, which is nice; mostly they're stupid, which can be funny (and annoying). Sometimes I'm in the mood to watch chat, sometimes I'm not, and either way I tend to not want to talk to anyone :p
DeleteI hate when people talk to me, but only because the conversations are always the same. They say hi, I say hi, they ask how I am, I say fine and ask how they are, they say fine and ask if I'm single, I say yes, they say how interesting that is, and then when they find out my age they say I'm too old for them and nothing could ever happen between us - as if anything was ever going to; as if I'm just some easy slut with no morals and a lot of free time. Even the conversations with women go down that way sometimes. I like to sign on, collect my gems or my coins, feed my pets, and sign off knowing I'm closer to levelling up and getting free stuff. It's not real free stuff, but every time I reach a new level it makes me happy. That's something.
Delete“ ... and nothing could ever happen between us — as if anything was ever going to; as if I’m just some easy slut with no morals and a lot of free time.” — How rude! I think I’d reply to that kind of comment with something like, “No shit; conceited online creeps aren’t my type.” (It really does seem rude that they’d automatically assume you’re looking for that sort of thing, and especially conceited that you might have considered them worth it.)
DeleteGame friends can be the best friends — by which I mean the totally-computer-generated friends who were designed to kiss player ass or offer support in a fictional battle, the ‘friends’ who don’t turn around and try to take things to the next level (the way-too-personal level) because they’re nothing but pixels and code. Real people are often not worth the effort.
I think if they would be worth it, they wouldn't need to look anymore. Especially to a total stranger who might be a kid, or an old man, or a cop. I think somebody truly worth it would be in a faithful relationship already, and consider me just another avatar on the map. They say all the good ones are taken. It must be true.
DeleteAIs are the best. I really wish I had an emotion-less robot who would do anything for me, without expecting sex in return. Real people always want things to get dirty, and I just can't appreciate that. That is not why I'm there. And for those who are, they sell inflatables; I'm sure they could figure something out.
lol, true; online stuff is always a risk ... are you sure you're on an innocent game, and not one for adults? :p
DeletePretty sure; kids play it as well. And thankfully, there are some decent people. One of them is even on my friends' list. She's awesome.
DeleteThat's awesome! :D I'm glad there are some decent people around ... I tend to make friends with the wrong sort :p
DeleteI don't think anybody tends to; I think sh** happens to everyone. I think, every now and then, we all connect with the wrong person.
DeleteBut our family's awesome, with one or two, maybe three exceptions.
'Tends to' means (to me) "I seem to have a pattern of" - so I guess when I say "I tend to do things wrong" I just mean I have a history of doing things wrong. I don't intend to do things wrong, that's the difference :p
DeleteAm I one of the exceptions?
That's my kind of luck, too.
DeleteNo, of course not! You're the best. I meant, Eva - she's kind of a btch, proven by letters written to Mom - and Merv the perv, and Wayne, because apparently he caused Mom's miscarriages and abused Lorne and Jason, too.
Ah, yes; I guess I should've known who'd be on the list :p
DeleteI wish Wayne were a better guy. I'd love to have a normal family, I'd love to know my dad; but from the things I've heard about him, I would be shooting myself in the foot if I reached out.
DeleteNow if he contacted us, wanting to get to know us because we're family, and not because we came into some money, I'd be over the moon.
A mean part of me wishes he would contact us because he's old and/or sick and dying, wishing to get to know us a little before he goes - and I'd be very tempted to not only not give him the chance, but pretend to give him the chance just so I could yell at him. I have no need for yet another father figure, especially when the one I had was a thousand times better :)
DeleteI'm sorry, but I have to disagree. You're one of my favorite people, so I hate saying that, but I remember a variety of bad times. Yelling at Lorne all the time, insulting and embarrassing us. Giving personal information outside in the open with that loud voice of his. Not to mention all those debts he never paid, or the rules he created but didn't follow. Or the time he took all the money and left us with no food, and you had to borrow money from Geoff so we could eat, and it took us until October 2016 for us to set things right.
DeleteWhat do you remember?
I'm not saying life was perfect, just that a father who sticks around is a thousand times better than the one than ran away (and also hoarded the money, broke Lorne's fingers, etc.)
DeleteAlso, I never borrowed money from anyone; G. used to send me money just because he wanted to. I was supposed to take care of myself with it, but I wasn't going to let my family sit around hungry while I could change that ...
I remember a ton of good times ... I even look back fondly at the bad times now because at least the family was still together and I felt that, considering all we'd gotten through together, it was all we needed; we could get through anything if we just kept each other laughing :)
Sorry. I was given the impression you had to ask for it. I was told that. Yeah, we've gone through a lot and come out smiling.
DeleteYes, we have; it's one of the things I remember most fondly about our family - the laughter, especially the laughter during the hardest times.
DeleteAh - I didn't tell you that, did I? If I did, I lied ... I hope I didn't ...
No, Mom told me.
DeleteI wish I could remember the laughter, too. Seems I only smile if I have a good game, or have enough money to buy a movie. Due to allergies I can't even enjoy nice weather and go out. Not without consequences. I really envy that you live up there. How's the weather, anyway?
It's looking a bit stormy tonight ... thought I heard thunder earlier :p
DeleteCool. Very warm here. More often than not it feels like it's summer already.
DeleteIt's just beginning to feel like spring here, although it still bounces from 'perfect summer day' to 'why's it so bloody cold?!' ... but next thing I know it'll be burning hot for days on end, so I'll have something new to complain about. :p
DeleteEntirely too true. I don't even use the blanket anymore. But it's only compensation, because I can't use the fan. Makes my allergies even worse.
DeleteWow, that sucks ... is the pollen really bad there this year?
DeleteToday the temperature jumped to 32 outside, it was so wonderful :D
The pollen is really bad here every spring, summer and fall. One of the reasons I love winter so much is the mercy.
DeleteFor sure ... I still love summer, but I remember being SO sick that time of year ... it was rough :s
DeleteSure is. If I could, I'd live in the Arctic or at the North Pole or just somewhere it's wintery all the time.
