1.0 of "CountWordula" (yes that was my idea) soon.
Now imagine this was sims.

I never "air dryed" my hair cause it looked too chaotic. Turns out I actually have wavy hair... It will lay flat on day two yes, probably because of my length. But that it needed all these years for me to realize.

I messaged them yesterday and it's doing great and will probably be successfully released once it eats by itself.
17.08.2025 18:12 โ ๐ 25 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Black ink I always had clog up even my BB Kaweco nib. No matter which brand. Also ink that is darker like Diamine Espresso. I think the darker they are the dryer they are.
17.08.2025 15:54 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I do, but I dont take pictures on days I look terrible :D
I learned good face creme, hydration, right dosed allergy meds, some sun exposure, right iron levels and a lot of sleep help :D And yes it is as exhausting as it sound.
That's really odd but maybe that some issue with the fine nib. I only have an M and it only ever dries up when it's 40ยฐC outside. Other than that it's my most reliable pen together with my preppy.

16.08.2025 13:15 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0As creators we help the games to become what they are. And we love doing it. I always felt like this was a symbiosis. But reading this makes me feel like I want to drop Aquatica coverage alltogether. I have been on the devs' side for so long and this is how it's thanked?
16.08.2025 06:39 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I really dislike is how the Aquatica dev team views creators. Many of us have been following and supporting the game since 2015. We provided tutorials and guides where the game was lacking them. Did we have critique especially when Snail did shady stuff? Of course. But we go back as its our passion
