New Tool Unlocked!!! (On-Together: Virtual Co-Working)
AKA an impulse purchase but I was sorely wanting some kinda app or something to body double/hang out with my friend; normally we hung out on pony town (and it's a pretty okay/great social hangout tool) but because it's basically the equivalent of a large public chat, it was also VERY easy to get distracted if you're trying to focus on stuff.
(great for making unique ponies aka roddy and transformers!sylvie)
I love lo-fi spirit city for solo focusing and the room decorating + character customization, but obviously it's not meant to be multiplayer ... I've heard of on-together but the sudden impulse to get something for both of us bit my ass, so I got it LMAOOO.
(you can also have a mini version!)
Only a few days of using it, but honestly it's been nice for ... well, what it's meant to do: co-working together without relying on a camera; I've very much just played animal crossing while chatting through it instead of something like discord. You can have private rooms, you can join public rooms to work w/others or chat. Also has fishing LOOL and a cute map to explore w/different places to hang out. I haven't gone into the public ones bc I just tend to rely on spirit city, but for having a Second Person there that doesn't rely on being in a voice call or anything, it's really nice
The customization options don't feel as ... well OK they actually have furry/anthropomorphic options (literally wolf/cat/bunny heads + tails etc), but I mean more in depth of body variety. Spirit city isn't super in-depth with it either, but it feels like it has a little more choices. Pet gathering here is more of an ass compared to spirit city since you need specific clothing, and some are locked behind levels, which is kinda bleh. Obviously as you use it more you get the levels, but the currency gain feels a little stingy right now to buy much
Otherwise, got the same set of tools which is a nice thing to have: pomodoro timers, soundscapes + music, to-do list, journal, and a task planner for a set week. It's nice to see other people's pomodoro timers above their heads as well, giving that whole sense of 'well people are Seeing Me Working'
This is also on Dreamwidth if you wanna comment, though it's a little less clean!
