2024.11.29 11:49 Immediate-Rope8465 here's the first chapter and prologue to a spore creepypasta i'm working on (feel free to give feedback/criticisms)
SPORE V0 Prologue:
Hello everyone, my name is Mike, and today I wanted to share my experience with all of you about a game I never expected to be able to play.
From my early years, I always enjoyed playing video games, flash, console, PC, and all other kinds. One game I have good memories of is a game known as Spore, a game by Maxis, released in 2008. The first time I heard about the game was by watching YouTube around 10 years ago, when Markiplier started his Let’s Play series of the game, which captivated 9-year-old me. From that day on, I always wanted to play the game, and one day, my brother’s friend gave me his copy of Spore for me to play!.
At this time, the game was really fun to play, and I spent over 100 hours in it, creating all kinds of creatures. But looking back, the game wasn’t really all that good. It mostly felt like five mediocre games in one. But back then, I didn’t care about that and still had a blast playing it. Recently, after buying a new PC, I decided it would be a good time to replay the game and see if it actually holds up to this day.
I grabbed the case, feeling the nostalgia of playing the game for the first time. After opening it and putting the game into the disk drive to start installing, I noticed something. There was an option to change the version of the game? I didn’t remember you could change the version, so I decided to check them out.
While scrolling downwards, at the bottom, I saw a version which said "zero." Huh, weird, I thought to myself, and wondered what it could mean. But after deciding to try it out and choosing it to start the installation, I noticed something was off. The game was installing way longer than it should. Normally, it shouldn’t take longer than 5 minutes, but it took over half an hour.
Did that mean the version was unstable, or was it my computer being bad ? After the game finally finished downloading, I put the game icon on my taskbar and noticed that it was a little bit different than I remembered. Instead of being blue, it was more whitish in color, and the galaxy icon itself looked more “realistic,” you could say. It was bizarre, and I couldn’t tell why, but looking at it made me feel quite odd. It’s hard to describe.
But either way, without further waiting, I clicked on the icon and started the game to finally see if it was truly going to be any different...
CHAPTER 1 PRIMORDIAL AWAKENING As the game finally finished opening, the intro started playing, but it was different. Outside of no mention of EA, instead of a galaxy, it was a massive black hole! And instead of sucking up creature icons and forming into the title, the black hole was sucking up planets and stars, and in a flash, it formed itself into a whole galaxy.
After the cinematic ended, I could choose a world I wanted to start the game on. After checking out the planet names, I found a planet called Tamaran.
I was quite surprised by the name of the planet, due to it being the same exact name of a planet shown in a beta version of the game. After clicking on it, I was presented with all the stages of the game, but instead of there being 5, there were 9?!
After thinking for a moment, I realized something: this wasn’t just an early version of the Spore I knew, but it truly was the beta that was shown in 2005! I was really excited to be able to play this game because I never really saw any major gameplay of it outside of the showcase Will Wright did.
I finally chose the first stage, and instead of it being the cell stage, it was a molecular stage.
After clicking on the button, I could choose if I wanted to be a herbivore or a carnivore. I went with carnivores because I wanted to see how the combat would look later on.
After making my choice, the game loaded, and a cutscene started playing that was different from the cell stage one. Instead of meteorites falling from Earth, it showed a large pool of water, which seemed to be a reference to the primordial soup theory.
After the cutscene, I could start playing. The gameplay of this stage was rather simple but fun. The main objective was to combine molecules and macromolecules together to form organelles to form your cell.
To combine the molecules, you had to use the mouse to drag them together, and after creating an organelle, you had to put it in the right spot, which gameplay-wise reminded me of Tetris.
An interesting detail was that every time you put an organelle in the right spot, the music changed with a sudden sound. The music itself was a lot like the music you can create for your city.
After putting all the organelles in the right spots, your cell fully formed, and you could choose the cell by clicking on it and go to the next part of the game: the Cell stage.
Before the cell stage properly started there, first, there was a short cutscene which showed how my cell finally developed into something proper.
After that, I could finally start the cell stage, and, being honest, it was the stage that was the most similar to the final release version, but that did not mean that it was all the same and still had a few interesting things about it.
The biggest thing being the art style: it was more realistic, with the background and the cell designs, as well as the area being procedurally generated. If you don’t know, Spore was supposed to use a lot of procedurally generated assets that would make the game more lively and unique, but sadly, it was not implemented into the final game. But being able to experience it firsthand was something special!
Anyway, for the gameplay, you controlled your cell and moved towards green organic matter you had to consume to evolve more, but you could also attack other cells with some weapons you could add to your cell. For example, a proboscis, which was like a long, flexible trunk-like appendage, instead of just sucking the cells, it instead ripped some of their organic matter out of them that you could eat.
As far as threats go, you had to deal with some viruses that could attach to you and kill you rather easily by injecting their DNA into you. But there were also some more familiar faces from the demo showcase, like the “spiky” bacteria that you could only kill if you had a spike, or the weird brown, smoke-looking thing that just drained your life force if you got too close to it.
Just like in the full release, after collecting enough DNA, you could lay an egg to change your cell and add new things to it. I’m not going to talk about it much because, for the most part, it’s the same as in the full game.
The cell stage itself was pretty short but quite enjoyable, maybe even more than the one we actually got to play. I noticed I could already go to the aquatic stage.
The fact I could play this stage that everybody talked about made me really excited, but I decided to give myself a break for today. After turning the game off, there actually was a short scene that showed the galaxy becoming darker for some reason.
After I turned off the computer and lay down on my bed and started thinking to myself, Now I’m playing this old version of Spore, but… if that’s so, how then did I never see anybody play or even talk about the gameplay? After thinking about it for some time,
I decided to look it up online to see if I could find anything about this build. After some research, I really didn’t find anything. The only things that popped up were the presentation gameplay. And this really made me question one thing… Am I really the only person that has ever played this game?

2024.11.29 11:49 Klutzy-Tennis7313 Why do people have to do the sleuthing for the 3rd Party Software instead of Third Party Software itself.
I assume everyone in the race and everyone doing hard content is using ACT even if they don't really say it, to upload the logs of a clear on fflogs Why is there no feature in it to also log the plugins used by a player? Wouldn't it instantly reveal whodunit, automatically invalidating everything they've just done.

2024.11.29 11:49 JohnToFire Attempt to create stock broker account not a bank with my email.
I know that a sticky here and other posts say known email with other banks is an approval criteria with earlywarning systems EWS . However there are no brokers on my EWS report. There are no stock brokers on any report I found. So is it probable that stock brokers are using EWS email as an acceptance criteria or could they be using another data brokers data like credit ? Partly I want to know should I also change my credit card emails or is there yet another report with stock brokers ?

2024.11.29 11:49 naradanerd Rekomendasi Baterai HP 3rd Party
HPku Poco M3 Pro 5G. Lupa sih beli tahun berapa, tapi kayanya udah 3 tahunan. Bateria udah mulai kembung,
Kepikiran mau bawa ke tempat servis, cuman kadang kalau ke konter pulsa (yang bisa servis) belum tentu barangnya ada. Takutnya malah harus ninggalin HP, jadi kayanya mau coba beli sendiri (rencana beli online, cuman kalau kalian punya opini lain silahkan).
dari berbagai jenis baterai 3rd party, kira-kira kalian ada rekomendasi merk apa gak? aku kepikiran Hippo karna udah sering denger, hp lama juga klo gak salah inget pernah ganti pke itu.
Will be appreciated more if y'all can provide the link. or even if you guys know if there are any store that sells official batteries/sparepart.
Terima kasih banyak semua :D
