My time at somewhere

I don't think I ever shared this before, so here's the art I got to put in My Time at Sandrock as part of my Kickstarter tier.

I know the game version got dusted up a bit to fit in with the whole "Sandrock is a very sandy and dusty place" thing, so I wanted to share the original picture, with all the wonderful shadows and shading @mulbubble added for me that got a lil, er, smudged by the dust?

Hi darlings! I know the people follows me for the fandom but I need your help right now. A friend of mine has been fighting sickness but there is nothing to be done anymore. She has been making cheap comissions but she didn’t get more than 5 a month so she is still tight on money.  Now her concern is leaving her dad with debt, so she is asking for donations. If you can share or donate, it would mean a lor. You can check her fb page(if you doubt this is a genuine call for help, which I perfectly understand) here. It’s in spanish but nothing google translate can’t solve.

Relevant posts are: 1 2 (First one the important thing is the text)

Thank you so much for asking this!! And I do have some head canons for Peach! I wish he would appear more in the game (through texts,books, and paintings.) it even just texts about living in pitch darkness underground. But I am not a chemist or a biologist! So all these are my thoughts and opinions.

People used to live in the ruins underground. To me it gives me Metro 2020 vibes on monsters and people living in isolation. But as more and more people struggled to even survive, it gave way for some individuals to want to venture into ‘forbidden’ areas in hope of saving themselves, loved ones and people.

But we need to talk about the 4 histories of my time at Portia.

Age of corruption. This time period is a bit further than where we are right now. We are almost living this life but normal civilians don’t access to human sized robots (Ack) to do our house chores just yet. But the age of corruption is just humans living lazy, luxurious, and pampered lives. Which unfortunately when you have humans that get whatever they want with very little effort it makes greed and entitlement a big problem.

Day of calamity - entitlement meant war. Consider it like nuclear war. Humans created weapons to conquer and destroy neighboring cities. The smoke from the chemicals, and fires covered the skies. Chemical rain caused mutations in animals creating some of the monsters we see in the game. But the chemical warfare didn’t just Mutate animals...it also affected humans. Between the war and chemicals the human popular became sparse. Now I don’t remember if the game mentioned exactly what the smoke was that covered the world but I can only guess it was the chemical smoke. Which goes into

The age of darkness. Humans lived underground. My guess is because of the chemical smoke clouds which meant chemical rainfall. (Chemical rainfall is a real thing even now. Our real world is so infested with pollution that it rains out of the sky 💀). So humans to escape the nuclear chemical infested air (okay technically it’s the dust particles but I’m gonna say air), water, and rain they had to live underground because the air would be unbareable for humans. I like to think of Fallout for this. Like in fallout 4 with nuclear rain and how it hurts and Being near radiated water hurts. But with the sun covered away for so long initiate a nuclear winter. So humans now living isolated underground would cause problems naturally... finding a mate would be hard being confined to what group your ancestor fled with. Plants don’t grow well without sunlight, radiation is in the water, lack of vitamin D, and no proper ventilation for smoke, FREEZING temperatures and the threat of other creatures that lived underground.

The age of darkness is when the church of light was formed. In times of panic and fear religion thrives. Stephen Kings the mist shows how fast religion can come about in times of fear, and uncertainty. Which would have split our already divided survivors. The religious followers who believed religion will save them and the explorers who didn’t beleive saving would magically happen.

This is where Peach would have been born. He would have been born underground and he was apart of the explorers. He aided in the dangerous ruin dives to find technology that was salvageable. I feel a lot of people would have died finding all this technology. Because I think peach wasn’t a fighter per say as he was more of a scientist. It would have taken the combined work of an explorer/adventurer and scientists to get it all going. But peach managed to build a machine to dispel the chemical induced darkness. Which lead to

The day of the bright sun! Peach used the machine to dispel the clouds in as many places as he could. But of course it took decades before the clouds fully disappeared. But even after humans were finally free...humans went right back to war again for control. But now control for the ruins and the technology within them.

That was a quick and not so great overview! But now my head canons!

💻I don’t think Peach lived a long life. He would have been exposed to radiation and chemicals during his entire time exploring for parts, building it together and having to go to the surface to use the machine in the first place. He probably died a painful death and the radiation slowly but surely killed him.

💻I don’t believe he would be a church of light follower. During the age of darkness the church believed all technology was evil. But Peach believed and risked his life every day to find technology that could save them.

💻I feel he’s a nerd and not a fighter. Django says after Peach, people formed the civil cops and military over knights. Which I think means civil corps were originally people who aided in the ruins dives to keep the scientists (Peach) safe.

💻he popularized umbrella hats because he used umbrella hats so he could use his hands while protecting him from the radiated rain.

🐻Oaks growing up with Papa Bear Oaks would rely on medicinal herbs.

🐻after awhile he will push you to see dr. Xu but you never know sometime a cup of tea and berries from that Bush might help.

🐻expect some nice freshly picked apples all cut up for you to eat. He will grab (or try to buy some flowers) to help brighten up the room to help you feel more relaxed.

🐻he’ll keep you nice and warm! His faux fur cape will be yours while you are sick. You can stay nice and warm and have his scent to smell. His scent of his outdoors adventures...be that good or bad.

🐻since he doesn’t have much else to do, he stays home with you most of the time. He tends to your needs while doing what he can to comfort you. He doesn’t eat extravagant meals so you’ll have basic food to eat. But he does try to make you delicious food! The effort is there, but the taste may say different.

Even more strawberry X X if you want any of the files for these I’ll share. You’ll need this mod to put them in.

I was a bit late for this game, as it was released in 2018, and I just started it a couple months ago. But I am so happy I found this game and if you are a lover of laid back games like: harvest moon and stardew valley, I am confident that you will also love this game. Be warned, though it is on all platforms, the Pathea (the devs), have not spread their efforts evenly across the board. Consoles lack severely compared to the updates PC is getting.

My Time at Portia takes place in a non tech future, where humanity is recovering from technology destroying their world. The Church of Light has made it their goal to spread information on this, trying to convince the town that technology is bad and we will once again be cast into the dark ages if we continue to dig up this history. On the other side of the town holds the research center, dedicated to preserving ancient tech and creating new/better technology for the future. It’s obvious from the start that there is no side picking for you, in order to advance in the game, you must help the research center.

I won’t talk much about the actual story, as I don’t want to ruin it for those that have played, but I can say that the story is well written. It advances smoothly, and what I enjoy about it, is that it never seems rushed. Do things at your pace, there is no hurry.

My only disappointment with this game is how it ended, the final boss fight, didn’t feel like it was the finale for me. Whether they left it that way to add more updates, or it was just meant to be that way, I personally am not impressed. When the fight ended, I thought for sure there would be at least another fight after that, but you find out after that it is the end of the game. Credits rolls, they give you your stats and you are free to farm and build your reputation after that. But it’s over.

This is my one and only negative thing to say about the game though. The story leading up to it, made me fall in love with the characters and the city. Each character has a story of their own, a personality, and quirks. Some you will hate and some you will love. It’s balanced.

Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.

“By using the platform, authors give all rights to the work to Amazon, who can then license your elements to other authors with no compensation to the original poster.”

I know the people who follow me are here to see the stupid stuff I share along with stuff for the fandoms I follow, but I really hope someone could help. A dear friend of mine is in the hospital, she doesn’t have insurance and hospitals are expensive, more expensive now that we are faced with a pandemic. I don’t know her current status, but I do know she’s been struggling financially to afford her treatment. If someone  wishes to help, you can donate to her paypal here
