One Hour One Life Forums

i'd really like to see newborn baby skeletons decay faster at the least. ive seen griefing where they would just get reborn over and over again and die repeatedly in working spaces, leaving bone piles everywhere. even when suicide babies arent griefing they still leave corpses all over and it drives me nuts because typically moving the bodies isnt the rest of the players first priority, understandably so.

to my mother--

i was born to you at the start of a famine, from what i heard among the adults, a troublemaker had been through the village. the small town was down to its last plot of carrots which they were trying their best to defend with no avail. you were a young mother, and you had no name, so you simply declared yourself Hope, and you named me Foxtrot. you took me foraging on the outskirts of town and we came across some wild seeds! i was happy-- we'd be able to help get the town back on its feet! you tried to leave me with an aunt so you could go get the seeds, but i wanted to stay with you, we were too poor for even baskets it seemed, so i wanted to help you bring them back, and we did, planting them with the utmost optimism.

but that wasn't enough, everything happened too quickly, someone threatened to murder us, i think to protect the food, so we just ran. i wasn't sure where we were going, but i knew i wanted to stay with you no matter what. you gave birth to my sister along the way, we ate wild plants and eventually found the remains of a small attempt at a settlement on the edge of the desert. i knew we'd probably never go back home, so this would be our new one. i started to try and create tools, my sister started working on the farm, we both had daughters and things were going well until we were attacked by a bear-- i led it away and we were safe for the time being, but the desert was a harsh place, there were plenty of snakes and it didn't help that there were wolves and more bear caves nearby, but there were grasslands just east.

i instructed everyone to start moving that way, we'd start a new farm, and i'd stay at the forge to make us equipment with what little resources i had. you all did so, but soon you found yourselves under attack by two bears this time. you came back to me in the desert and we tried to discuss how to get rid of them-- we had no weapons, you were too old and weak to risk going back to the village to steal them, so you decided to try and lure them away. before you left, you said "If I never see you again, luv ya.", i replied with a "love you too" but i think you were gone before you could see it-- i wasn't worried at all, though.

i continued working on my project, and then came to check on everyone, but by the time i got there, it was too late. all i saw was two bears, and a few piles of bones. i was devastated, frustrated and hopeless, in my grief, i almost let them take me, too, but knew you would have wanted me to carry on, so i did. i led the bears away once again and went back to work. i had a daughter soon after! she continued the work on the farm, had a child of her own and i grew into an old woman, we had some tools finally and i wished you were there to see it.

sadly, as my life was coming to and end, both my daughter and grandchild disappeared-- i thought they might have just run, but nothing was missing from our camp, so i can only assume the worst. i died alone with all that was left of our small family's sad story. it was a hard life with a bitter end, but i will say it was still one of my favorites. hope our paths cross again one day!

i feel like this feature would be a bit redundant because it only adds additional steps to what is already happening in the game.
if a player is born somewhere they don't want to be, they'll just run off within the first few seconds of being born-- press the abort button. if a mother doesn't want a kid, she'll just keep moving-- pressing the abort button.
it won't feel any better to be aborted than to be abandoned, and a baby aborting themselves won't feel any better than a kid running off.
plus, once you're in the game you already have to wait a few minutes before you're actually able to do anything but waddle around, adding close to another minute to that window wouldn't be super engaging.

not to mention i don't think the game itself is really supposed to be about picking and choosing where you end up, your quality of life is supposed to depend on the situation you're born into. i mean some people do play it that way and that's fine, but there's not a lot you can do to force people to stop playing how they want.

however, the benefits from this could be that the mother knows a baby is coming and can prepare herself, and also wayyyyy fewer graves littered all over the place.

i don't think anyone here said anything about banning people with differing opinions, much less anything about people being able to grief or brag about griefing. do that all you want, it's just a game, and talking about griefing in a game isn't violent ideology meant to tear down entire groups of real people. griefing may have been part of the argument jason was referring to, but ultimately this topic is less about the argument itself and more about the things said during the argument and troubling ideals that users are expressing.

i'm not saying to ban everyone you don't agree with, not at all, i'm saying that telling someone that they deserve to die or to kill themselves and then turning around and acting like it was a completely innocent "opinion" or a joke that's protected by freedom of speech is wrong and that it should be discouraged from the start, not after the damage has been done.

no, someone including content like this isn't reason enough to discontinue the use of bitoin, it means that there is a small handful of people that are abusing the freedom granted by the platform to spread evil. it means that we do need to rethink how we treat these situations and that we do need to enforce at least minimal restrictions and moderation because obviously without them, things like this are allowed to happen. again, harmful content isn't in need of protection from censorship, it needs to be addressed for society's protection.

i second this

it's completely understandable to not want to have a strict set of rules and guidelines, and to allow people their freedom to express themselves, but i've seen plenty of hate speech, racism, nazi rhetoric, ect. in the discord as well as the forums in the few weeks i've been part of the community.

these things are not "opinions" that are in need of protection, they are violent and create a hostile environment to both new and existing players. just looking the other way isn't really a solution, it allows hatred to dominate the space and forces out players who are here to enjoy the community and the game. the people that exhibit this behavior lose nothing, but the people they're referring to, the people they're harming, are.

i understand that it's difficult to moderate public forums like this and provide the most fair and unbiased judgement in these situations;

as the community gets bigger, this will become even more relevant, and i think that enforcing at least a very basic set of rules and boundaries would be in the best interest of it's growth-- asking people to refrain from use of hate speech, slurring, or even posting graphic imagery isn't denying anyone their rights, it's just keeping the environment hospitable and accessible to everyone.

the problem i found with fullscreen on an ultrawide was mainly that the mouse calibration was off, so it wasn't possible to actually click on an item or an option in the main menu because your actual click would be like 40px off
the quick fix for this is changing the files screenHeight and screenWidth in settings to the dimensions of your monitor
it works, but you get a pretty big pillarbox effect

i'm sorry if this is a little off topic but basically i'm wondering what would happen if i took

and replaced it with this to fit a 2560 x 1080 resolution

do you think it would effectively fill the screen or would it just look all wonky? lol

anyways.... ...
the idea that males are "worthless" in this game is entirely based on the fact that women are needed to carry on the population,  i mean obviously, but people also fail to understand that what makes males valuable is in fact that they aren't popping out children every few minutes.
the male characters are able to focus on more advanced tasks and projects, as well as venture further away from the camp freely, people should be seeing this assignment as an opportunity to improve the settlement even more, advance the tech tree and work on the town's infrastructure. hell, if you're a new player it's a chance for you to learn more as well. that alone should provide enough incentive to keep boys, as well as play them.
people are only keeping girls and are dying to famine from overpopulation-- i don't see this as a flaw with the game mechanics, it's just this mindset the playerbase has adopted and doesn't really make sense to me.

yeah i just played a full life in a small village full of children named Hope too lol
it was small when i got there, just a farm in the desert next to lots of water
the first time i was born there my mother Hope shot me by accident, respawned to her sister Hope
when grandma Hope died, we buried her where she asked to be laid to rest, still in a basket for safe keeping
her brother died soon afterwards, he was placed next to her in the same fashion

The main issue is that the game is still in its early days and the ability to make tools and what not is about as far as it goes right now, as more content is added, you will be able to help society progress further.

Okay so i managed to fix it, and i'm not really sure how considering i haven't slept in... way too many hours....
but basically out of frustration with other issues that were popping up while trying to fix this problem, i just decided to do a reset of windows. did all that, tried to run the game, still getting the same issue, so i just pinned the onelife.exe to my start menu, ran as admin again, and it's... working??? somehow??
i'm so tired lmao

You might have been born right before she hit the fertile age limit? I've had that happen a few times.
