I just went in game and had my sim ask the Future Cube about the future, and these are the results she got:
1. "The threads of your future knit together in a wave of darkness". <--- reference to the upcoming community stuff pack?
2. "Your uncertainty, certainly shall become certain, under certain situations in no uncertain terms." <--- any thoughts?
3. "I see a gnome wielding a frozen rabbit riding atop a llama into battle against an udder'ly impressive foe." <--- no idea
4. "Somebody is definitely going to get exactly what they want." <--- that's just a message for all of us speculators :p
5. "Your future looks pixelated." <--- thoughts?
6. "Without a doubt, that thing we talked about will come to be, as all of the signs are pointing to the answer that we agreed upon in our last discussion." <--- ???
7. "Your future is... not bright, but illuminated... probably to an intensity of 0.981 candelas." <--- this one we need to research a bit I think!
8. "Climbing to the top one rung at a time!" <--- if that's not a hint at ladders, then I don't know what is!
9. "Self-organization will be key to a happy future." <--- This sound like another upcoming feature. Inventory organization perhaps?
Please share your thoughts and any possible answers I didn't already discover!
I feel time travel, but to the past. Darkages to be exact. 1 refers to the dark ages. 3 refers to a knight holding a lance in medieval games. 4, sure the community asked for it. 5, an arcade game? 7, again medieval times, at least a time before electricity.
But whilst I would LOVE the opportunity to time travel to the past, and possibly accidentally wipe my sim and their family from existance, or destroy Nancy Landgraab before she was born, I won't risk getting excited and let down again.
So it's just weird responses from a future cube for me.
This is what I’m leaning towards too, especially considering what the Future Cube actually is. It’s a play on toys like the Magic 8 ball. People ask it questions and it produces an ambiguous, semi-mystical sounding response that is so generic it could apply to anything. Honestly, most of these do seem to be parodies of typical “Magic 8 Ball” responses. (If you replace the word pixelated with hazy, I’m pretty sure one of them is a direct copy.)
The only ones that seem like they’re hinting at future content are #’s 1, 3, 8, and 9. (And #1 is kind of half and half; obviously we all know that knitting is coming, but the wave of darkness part seems like the kind of language that toys like that use to make it seem like it’s a real psychic prediction.)
My guess? We’re getting inventory organization and ladders. Possibly something involving cow plants. But that’s it.
