TLDR: A long life description in bitlife and some questions and ranting at the end.
Hey there,
I just started playing bitlife again cause the mafia update, one of my recent lives went like this: 1-18 years: Not much happened, except i started shoplifting at the earliest age i can because i wanted to work myself into the italian mob. Keeping up appearances is important, so i was a good kid at home and at school. I joined a baseball team out of chance, i was like 97% athlete so i thought why not, noone would expect the star player right? Years flew by and i'm out of high school, with a chance to be drifted in to a pro team, and by a surprise me option, i got drifted. Then my view changed, let's be the baseball god! 19-49 years old or so: Played pro baseball in two teams, the first got championship once, the second went into the top ten before i was too old to continue playing. Got lots of awards, the golden glove i got 8 times. Got married to a nice girl, had a kid too. Did the resolute challenge, which is running now, i hated it, reading books with the new mechanic is ugh. Then the 50 year mark comes, and i'm out of the team, with like 700000000 dollars in my pocket. My fame was still like 80%, so i thought okay, athlete career over, let's go actor! I kept my actor career and fame right at the top till an event comes up that i'm gay. It was like at year 65 or so. I thought what the hell now? Dumped my wife and kid, got right down nasty with everyone, and got fired from the lead actor position which i was occupying. My money got down to like 300 million, because the judge who conducted the divorce divided everything equaly. My fame declined, and at like 75 or so i'm completely ordinary. The mafia still remembered me it seems because when i asked, they granted entrance into the italian mob. Remember, i'm like 75 at that time. Began to conduct auto burglaries, and built a nice extortion racket. At 90 years, i'm still living with everything at least in the 90's. Got accepted into the family, took the omerta, oath of silence for you who is not addicted to mafia stuff, basicaly you can not leave the family and if you do you'll get killed. At 97, some unfortunate events appear and the soldier of the italian family gets killed by a bullet to the head. I was sooo near the 100 year mark!
Now, questions: Can anyone of you contact the bitlife devs? I tried facebooking, tweeting, and emailing them but got no answer at all if they'll make at least a toggle for us blinds who want to have a chance of escaping prison? I completely understand that they don't want to redesign their minigame, but now that the mafia update is out i think we need to have some way of escaping too, sometimes you get life sentences or like 40 years and that's that. And yes, i know you can close and reopen the app, but to me that feels cheating.
Alternatively, do anyone of you have humorous or unexpected bitlife situations?
