Will Wright was passionate about rallying and how it was shown in The Sims 2

While researching the development history of the original The Sims on TCRF, I came across a link to a fan site about Will Wright in the sources:

This is a very interesting site. There's a biography of him. And one of the chapters describes that Will Wright was into rallying and even participated in one of them:

https://web.archive.org/web/20200119021426/http://will-wright.com/willshistory1.php

Will Wright also used to be into Rally, before he was into computers. "It's very small in the States. The American version of Rally was in fact a little more hardcore than the European. It wasn't as competitive but they didn't allow pace notes and so when you're going down the road you don't know what's around the corner. I still love following the WRC".

He plotted a route through the southern states that was hundreds of miles longer than the more popular path. It avoided the northern roads likely to attract more contestants and police. He and a partner, the race organizer, zoomed across the country in a Mazda RX-7 outfitted with a souped-up engine, a roll cage, an extra fuel tank, a night-vision scope, two police radar detectors and a prototype of a radar jammer. The team got one speeding ticket near Indianapolis and Mr. Wright talked his way out of two others, once by pretending to be a lost local resident and once he convinced an Indiana state trooper he was a writer for an automobile magazine test-driving a car when he was pulled over for doing 104 mph.He actually won that race with a time of 33 hours, 39 minutes.".

How it was shown in The Sims 2?

And this hobby of Will Wright was shown in the game. For example, in the form of this collection of objects:

And the tire table was posted by EA for the download as far back as the turn of 2004-2005. But there's also the sports car from the base game.

It was supposed to be an aspiration reward. But it was also, at the same time, a CAREER reward for the career of a "car racer", the costumes for which are available in the base game.

But it's not that simple. After digging around in the car code, at the level of, I must say, my shabby knowledge, I came to the conclusion that there should be two career rewards for each career. The first is something given out at early career levels, like a punching bag, purely to pump up skills faster. But the SECOND award should have been... cars - and not at all "decorative" or working as a "personal cab", aka house - community lot - other community lot - house with the additional option of going to visit other sims.

Suppose your sim works in the police. At the beginning of his career he can get a scanner, and at later stages he can get his own, real, personal police car. When he selects the "Drive to Work" option in this car, he will not go to the unknown, but, for example, to a community lot where thieves, robbers, pickpockets like the Unsavory Charlatan, drug dealers and pimps will show up. Sim can arrest all these criminals, take them to the police station, and interrogate them "with intensity".

Pretty cool, huh? About the AUTORACING... Take a look at this ancient "kind of mod"...

Swimming competition!!! (Note - part of it, namely the lane dividers in the pools, "went" to Nightlife EP). And the dog competitions are in The Sims Pet Stories! On that basis, then why wouldn't there be car racing in the game as well? Especially since the motion animation is in Nightlife EP.

But everything is not so simple with the racers. Something is missing... Maybe THIS... (helmet)

Please pay attention to this creator's work in general. If it is something from the game, you get a "good and quality" thing. However, when you start to "unselect", there are problems with textures and with a lot of polygons, which leads to a bad result.

I also noticed that the helmets matched the colors of the suits. So there had to be a green suit, a yellow suit, and a pink suit.

Importance of Wearing Hard hats in Construction Site

 Safety is important in the construction site. Among different types of hazards in construction sites, head injury is remarkable. The importance of wearing hard hats in construction sites is huge; it prevents workers and engineers from different accidents and hazards. Safety of the head from falling objects is important. So, wearing a hard hat is always the best decision.....

i finished my merlin rewatch like a week ago but i propose a rambling unrefined idea that totally doesn’t stem from me feeling robbed by the year of round table shenanigans that was time skipped and also my love for alexander vlahos

they should’ve brought Mordred back earlier, like series 4 instead of series 5. we would’ve gotten to know him a lot more especially considering he’s mostly in the background of any episodes he was in in series 5 unless an episode was explicitly about merlin not trusting him. it would give his betrayal of arthur a bigger impact and maybe give him more consistent writing. he could’ve also helped merlin with magic stuff and it would’ve led to more moral conflict on merlin’s part. just: this bright eyed, relatively newer knight who’s been so staunchly standing with arthur and camelot but has also been kept at arms length from the one person in the kingdom he can really connect to for instead of what i think is a few months in-universe is now years in this hypothetical alternate timeline.

also don’t kill lancelot off straight away in series 4. he’s a big part of the mythos despite having been put into the legend later in the timeline, it was such a waste to not have him in the show more. just have them push a horse or smth through the veil instead.

if they did this they could still have done the really big plots in the final two seasons. like you could still have the whole lancelot/gwen affair but just have it be that morgana enchanted both of them. maybe mordred is the one who discovers this and tells arthur bc of his loyalty so you have some kinda connection to the legends. if you still want him to die at some point, you could have him dying after the affair is found out like how the shade does in the original episode. OR he dies at the hands of ghost uther bc he stands for a lot of what uther hates (a commoner who became a knight, loves gwen, supports magic) maybe he dies protecting merlin after uther finds out about his magic or smth.

you could also have arthur lift the ban on magic but if for some reason you still want merlin to keep his magic a secret you can have it be like during the gwen/lancelot thing so this way merlin can’t bring himself to tell arthur that he’s been hiding smth bc he thinks it’ll be read as another betrayal. and you could still have the kara thing leading to mordred’s betrayal bc kara’s crime wasn’t using magic, it was attempted regicide.

and this doesn’t really break anything bc at this point, morgana’s motivations are less about reinstating magic and more about getting the throne. and just because arthur lifts the ban on magic doesn’t mean every magic user will be on his side. why would they be? he doesn’t have magic, he doesn’t know what it’s like, he could very well reinstate the ban whenever he pleases. morgana is magic, a high priestess at that, why wouldn’t she still have supporters?

“but what about arthur’s bane?” i hear you ask. well, hypothetical reader of this long ass post, to that i say: mordred is sent out with a group to find gwaine, percival, and the other missing knights. most of his squadron gets captured by morgana’s men and he decides “maybe i can talk to her” so he decides to go undercover about it. the episode continues as normal with some dialogue tweaks.

also!!! if lancelot and mordred are in camelot as knights at the same time you could have an interaction where merlin is like “this druid kid turned knight is destined to kill arthur, should i kill him/let him die?” and lancelot looks at mordred and is like “are you sure? also no! that is a baby. you can’t kill a baby, merlin.”

boom fixed your show /hj

#i am aware this doesn’t fix nearly half the things wrong with the last two seasons but i can’t stop thinking about this #i can’t believe lancelot never met mordred #they would’ve been besties #lancelot would totally stand up for mordred when the knights pick on him #we should’ve gotten more scenes of the knights just goofing around #like gwaine and percival stealing food from the kichens #or when they all played keepaway with gwaine’s hemlet #or the fucking “melding the saddle” shit they pulled on mordred #bbc merlin #merlin #bbc mordred #bbc lancelot

a commission for @bosstheme of one of their poems!!

[ ID: seven digital illustrations of a poem set in space. the full text reads, “Tight scattered universe, infinite nowhere,  a frozen hot vaccum embraces you whole. You are an explorer, but only a viewer, you came to absorb, not to touch, not to hold. but it does not know this, this life-giving reaper the place between galaxies where you have flown. its lifel-ending grasp is what makes you eternal. the grave of the astronaut, close and unknown.” the first image shows the first line of text in between two planets and stars. the second image shows the next line of text around an aastronaut which is floating in a dark expanse of space surrounded by red space matter. the third drawing shows a closer look at the astronauts helmet with the next lines of text next to and then on top of the astronauts hemlet, the second panel in this drawing shows a downward view of the astronauts legs with the next lines of text above them. the fourth image shows the astronaut floating untethered, we see the life line of the suit has been broken. above the life line is the next line of text, and there are two panels below the astronaut which show more colorful space gas and the next line of the poem. the fifth image shows another expanse of space with colorful galaxies on the top and bottom of the drawing and the next line of the poem in the darkness between.  the sixth image shows the astronaut floating in darkness with their limbs outstretched, very subtle lines are circling their body while the next line of text is beneath them. the last image shows the astronaut continuing to float, small in the void of space with red coloring and the last lines of the poem above them. /END ID]

Canon Ball

From a prompt on a03

*** *** ***

Marfi was surprised when the humans on his team took him up on his offer of spending the Glowsen holiday break with him and his family. He knew they didn’t celebrate Glowsen, but despite being an alien race from an entirely different solar system, they genuinely seemed interested in learning more about the festivities. That plus all off-world traffic basically stopped during the holiday to help maintain clear dark skies. There were a few vital spaceports that would remain open for emergency freight, but other than that, no ship was set to leave the squifra homeworld until after the fourth sunrise of Glowsen. Many on the crew who were not squifra planned to spend the downtime aboard the ship and simply roam about the metropolitan center they were docked at for entertainment during the day. A few in the crew who were aquatic or semi-aquatic had made plans to explore the nearby glowing marshlands to the north or spend some time basking in the warm, sprawling seas to the east.

Marfi had expected the three humans to be part of the first group. After all, no one looks at a human and immediately thinks, “Oh yeah, they definitely know how to swim.” He’d even seen Human Arnie jump back and shout loudly when Human Reyna accidentally spilled some water from an overly-full bucket she’d been carrying. He quickly left to change out of his partially wet uniform into a dry one. Or during a pick-up on Hemlet 3, Marfi also observed Human Avery using an “umbrella” to avoid getting wet in the rain. Several species aboard the ESS Tennago had varying levels of aversion to water. He just assumed humans did too.

He explained several times to them how squifra communities were commonly set up so that it was near impossible to not get wet several times through the day by just getting there or moving around. Roads were largely waterways. Running water and waterfalls were widely used as borders, doors, or other forms of separation or privacy. Many homes and shops had underwater entrances, although they were typically also accompanied by above-water entrances as well.

Still, the humans seemed unperturbed. Well, Arnie expressed a few reservations at first, but when the other two seemed determined to go, he said “it’d be worth it to be able to learn more about Glowsen with Marfi and his family.” And that’s how he ended up sitting next to three humans in what they referred to as “swimsuits” on the ferry. Ever so often, a new passenger would board and give them a quizzical look, but if the humans took notice, they didn’t seem to mind. They each sat with their overnight packs on their laps and took turns asking questions about the upcoming festivities or about various structures or landmarks they saw as the ferry went along. Marfi had to admit, it was probably the most fun he’d had on a ferry trip.

It didn’t take long before the familiar treeline of his hometown came into view. Many of the buildings used parts of the larger trees in their structure. Others wove between and among the roots and arches. The warm pink and yellow glow of the orrad blossoms that lit the otherwise murky swamp nearly made Marfi tear up. He always forgot how much he missed being home.

As soon as the ferry docked and was tied off, the group stood and stretched. Even though it’d been an interesting trip, it still involved quite a bit of sitting on a fairly cramped ferry. The crowds would make it be a while before they’d be able to disembark. Which of course wasn’t a problem for the squifra passengers who must have been traveling light and didn’t have to go claim baggage. They just jumped off the side and into the water, following a marked swim path into town. Human Reyna took notice. “Hey Marfi, do you ever jump over the edge like that?”

“Hmm? Oh, yeah, usually. I don’t typically have luggage when I come home to visit, so I just start swimming.” Human Avery looked over the edge of the ferry. “How deep is the water here?” “I’m not sure,” Marfi glanced down at the water. “I’d imagine it be at least four lengths to be able to accommodate the different ships that come in. I’ve never touched the bottom myself, so I imagine it’s plenty deep.” Human Arnie frowned at Avery and Reyna, then down at the water, then at Marfi. “What about if you’re traveling in a group and only some people jump? Is there a good spot to meet up with everyone again?”

“Yeah, people do that pretty often if not everyone has luggage to pick up. The spot to pick up your luggage is right along the water path,” he pointed out the area in question. Sure enough, there were several squifra already meeting up there. Those with luggage they didn’t want to get drenched loaded up in what almost looked like gondolas.

Marfi only caught a quick glance between Reyna and Avery before the former launched herself over the side of the ferry. While still in the air, Reyna tucked her legs in close to her body and shouted, “Canon ball!” before hitting the water with a rather large splash.

That was… not how Marfi expected things to go. The other passengers on the ferry, few of whom had actually been paying attention beforehand, were now looking confusedly around, trying to figure out what had just happened. “Canon ball?” “Someone get help, that alien fell into the water!” “Why would a cannon be in a ball?” “Did you see that human jump off like that?” “Can they even swim?” “Someone call security, someone’s got some sort of canon weapon!” “Oh flarg! Is that why the human jumped? Should we jump too?”

All the passengers seemed to be frozen in place on the ferry, those near the exit had paused to try to look back and see what was going on. Marfi himself was frozen in shock, staring at the rippling water below, trying to decide if he should jump in after to help his crewmate or go get help first.

Before he could decide, a human head popped back out of the water. She didn’t seem to be disturbed or struggling. On the contrary, she seemed to be quite at ease and happy, laughing and looking back up to the startled passengers still aboard the ferry. Marfi sighed and let go of the tension he’d been holding on to. Humans could swim. They’d said they could, but actually seeing it first-hand was a huge relief.

“Arnie, my bag’s not waterproof like hers” Avery nudged their bag towards him. “Do you mind bringing it with you?”

“Or are you going to join us?” Reyna joined in. “The water feels great!”

“No thanks,” Arnie shook his head and picked up Avery’s bag. “I’m fine staying dry up here for a little bit longer.” As Avery stepped up to jump over the edge, all the passengers watched intently, half unsure of what to think about what was going on in front of them.

“Do a flip!” Reyna yelled from below.

And that’s all it took. Avery launched off the ferry and tumbled through the air before landing with another large splash into the water. As soon as everyone saw the human’s head return to the surface again, the hush that had fallen over the ferry broke and everyone began moving toward the exit again. Most knew about the weird things humans did, and those who didn’t have at least heard about the antics the strange aliens got themselves into. It was surprising, sure, but must just be a thing humans did.

Marfi watched as his two crewmates started swimming toward the water path. They weren’t as graceful in the water as a squifra by any stretch of the imagination, but they did seem pretty adept. They weren’t going to drown, in any case. He then turned to look at the human standing next to him.

“You sure you don’t want to jump?”

Arnie’s expression was comically scrunched up as he shook his head. “I’m fine. I don’t do heights and I’ve got stuff in my bag I don’t want to get wet. Plus, I’d hate to make you carry everything yourself.”

“I… I appreciate that.” Marfi’s head fins fanned out in a smile. They slowly made their way to the exit with the rest of the crowd.

“What were you saying before we pulled in about the flower lights?” Arnie prompted as they walked.

Marfi smiled bigger and picked back up on his narration describing the different features of his hometown as they walked to the luggage pick-up area. He felt just a bit more at ease having his crewmates with him, knowing that despite what they looked like, they’d be safe in the waters of his home. This Glowsen was certainly going to be one to remember for a long time.

ok umm i had adrawing to demonstrate butit kinda sucks ass so . in short. hwat if certain Types of carapacians had specific types of armor to match their status. by armor i mean like their carapace LOOKED like that armor. i dont know if it makes sense in words BUT HOPEFULLY ITDOES. like theyd have funky shaped heads that looked like hemlets to match their Status . .. orsomethang like that...

#mel roars

[spamton]

btw I have a theory that the three dragons (minus the light dragon) in BotW/TotK are zonai who swallowed the triforce to keep. After all, to become an immortal dragon one must eat a special stone, right? Well who's to say that the triforce and secret stones aren't of the same origin, then?

Not to mention there are three of them, and the frostbite, ember and charged sets of armour strongly resemble Zonai fashion WHILE also having the same hemlet designs as the horns of the 3 dragons.... But that's just me ^_^

My old sketches with the animatronic knight-gryphon. There were other characters there, but I never got around to drawing their designs.

Translation: Sir Sharpbeak "The Brave"

1. There are eyes under the visor.

2. Stands at the entrance (according to the idea it was a fantasy-medieval theme park).

3. One of the tallest (2.3 meters/7,55 ft).

4. The halberd is not sharp

And his humanization without hemlet
