from luna: a technical inquiry

May 31, 2026 - 3:39am — cicadapath
hello, hello!


I am running into quite the technical issue. I have been skimming and straining through old technical help posts on this forum for ages to find out how to solve this.. so in a moment of desperation, i turn to you!


whenever i have a post that i'd like to update, like a diary or bio, i click edit and then begin adding my changes in the text box. i hit save. although, when i check the 'recent posts' tab, i do not see my post with the red updated text on the title, nor my post bumped up at all.

how do i remedy this? is the updated tag only achievable via other users leaving new comments on your post? is it something on my end? how can i let others know that my post has been updated? please, help!


lots of love, luna Ooh ~

nameless wood [art]

a very different style from my usual... i wanted to try something sketchy and textured, something that evokes the feeling of someone very young and inexperienced trying out art for the first time, and my deer felt like a good match for the subject.

a (polite!) discussion about genAI and its use on TEFc and other creative spaces.

May 27, 2026 - 10:11pm — virtualfriend
let me preface this for transparency's sake: i am very much against the use of generative AI in creative spaces. largely because of the environmental impact of data centers, but also because i'm not interested in reading or looking at anything that wasn't actually created by a real person. however, this is not a space to air your grievances about genAI or to talk about why it's bad. no matter how much i might agree with you, i don't want to shame people or make them feel bad here. not just because it's unkind but because shame isn't actually a good motivator for changing behaviour - it's a deterrent. making people ashamed just makes them hide what they're doing, not stop doing it. does that make sense?

diary entry from today's frolickings.
image heavy. written in all-lowercase for stylistic purposes, and uh, good luck differentiating between "it" (the deer) and "it" (literally anything else).

its done! you can read lapus's bio here at toyhouse*! please mind that this page is quite gif heavy, so give it a bit of time to fully load out.

*my toyhouse pages are not mobile friendly! please observe on pc for the best experience.

keeping this to help with connection issues in the future :)

Basically what the title says! :'D

No matter what I've done, TEF refuses to connect and when it does, it won't load other deer, leaving me isolated in the forest, staring at the pictograms and waiting for them to spread. I was able to fix it for one singular day by uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but now that trick no longer works.

I've done everything. I've had my router reset, I've restarted my computer, I've opened the game as admin, I've used the .exe file directly from the game's directory to see if it was better than using the shortcut, and more. I'm so fucking scared I won't be able to play with others anymore, just as I thought I was starting to make friends here. I'm terrified even, because this was my little happy space where I didn't need to feel so anxious saying hello or cuddling with other deer. I don't know if I'll ever be able to play again, if this keeps up, at least until the remake is out. I hope the remake has better servers that aren't old and deprecated..

I'll still try interacting here on the forums, but i'm devastated I won't be able to see my lovely virtual daughter, Sanctity, grow and get her set. Maybe by the time I'm back from my sister's, everything will be okay
