Once in a while, they’ll have a thought bubble over their heads that have an item/resource in it. There are imps running around the island who vanish when you get too close to them. I will note that the longer I play, the more mechanics I discover that cut short the time drag somewhat. Knowing a certain quest won’t be done for several days and a previously-colored area of the map will be ‘frozen’ for that stretch of time is really a morale-killer. Also, I mentioned in my last post that I felt the balance was off. Which is an admirable goal, but some of us thrive on stress. They want you to enjoy it at a pedestrian pace and not stress about it too much. They want it to be a chill experience in which you can dip in and out. I really do understand what Spry Fox is trying to do. I’m still torn about how I feel about the long-term quests. So if a quest is 70% done, my brain immediately focuses on the 30% I need to do. That messes with my brain because my brain is the type to only look at what needs to be done. However, each quest has a picture representing it and how much you’ve done of the quest. You press Y (on the XBone controller) to bring it up and it’s very helpful. There is a quest log on the right, upper corner of the screen that tracks your daily quests. It’s been interesting for my competitive/compulsive brain to have several quests I can’t complete in one day. I tried out Code Vein by Bandai Namco ( Anime Souls) and quickly gave up for several reasons, but the one thing they did right was have the choice to have hair down to my knees. She’s by far my favorite avatar and she would have been nigh-on perfect if I could have had longer hair. But it speaks to the power of representation and how meaningful something seemingly silly can be. I love everything about her and just looking at her picture once again makes me miss her. Or rather, she’s an idealized version of me. As long as she was wearing sunglasses, she looked remarkably like me. I loved adding tats and making my character look as much like me as possible. Back when I played Saints Row IV by Deep Silver, I changed up my looks on the regs. It’s funny because I have no interest in that kind of thing in real life, but I’m all about it in games. I have to say that looking at hair/clothes every day is one of my favorite things to do in the game. I still miss the black twisty braids, but I can live with this for now. The picture above is medium straight black, which is close to my real hair. My original haircut wasn’t there, but there was a black hair that was long and wavy. Then at some point it didn’t bother me any longer, but I did check out the hairstyles first things first the next day. I didn’t do it, but I did think about it off and off for the rest of the day. When I was told that I couldn’t get my hair back, I actually thought about restarting the game because it bothered me so much. ![]() This is how compulsive my brain gets sometimes. I had to hope that it would be offered on sale at the store. By the way, I don’t get that–why can I infinitely buy the same hairstyle? I hopped onto the Discord to ask if there was a way to get my old hairstyle back. ![]() I even tried buying the same hairstyle again, thinking it would give me my old hairstyle back. Me being me, the first thing I tried to do was figure out how I could change it back. It seemed more Victorian or some such to me, but whatever. There was a cute ‘goth’ hairstyle of curls loosely tied at the nape of the neck. I didn’t want that to happen because I really liked my black twisty braids, but I felt like I should try the new content. Would I be able to store my hair and change it at will like wigs? That’s what I thought it might be, but I also had the sinking suspicion that I might just lose my hair completely. I have a closet of clothes and I can switch them out whenever I want by visiting Flamey, my bonfire. I had noted that I had just opened access to haircuts and didn’t know quite how it worked. Before I get into that, however, let me remind you that I ended the last post with a question of sorts. Kit’s shop for a second time and have upgraded my tent (storage space) twice as well. I finally bit the bullet and scraped up the 400,000 coins needed to upgrade Mr. It’s something like Day 16 and things have really opened up. I’m still stuck in and on the game, Cozy Grove, by Spry Fox.
