I feel like someone just hugged me.

Sims 2 is the home you can always come back to when you need it. ♥

I love all the sims 2 players I see on my dash

I also love all the poor sims 2 players who follow this blog even though I don't play much these days.

Enjoy Russia, I guess, the only industrialized country that would even consider wanting someone who would hate Kamala Harris and be pissed Trump didn't get elected.

American leftism is at best centrist, and at worst pretty conservative compared to most of the rest of the world. You're not gonna like it dude.

Plus, we expect you take pay taxes for poor people and children over here in the civilized world. I know, it's crazy. It's almost as if we expect you live in a society and a community.

Cleared out about 2/3 of my closet.

Was very surprised over how emotionally attached I apparently were to 15 yo basic black cardigans I never wear.

But it had to go okay? I can't keep a cardigan I never wear when my closet space is soooo limited and tiny.

Sims 2 20 years old today... Happy anniversary. I love my bitch wife who spits on me every time I ask her for quality time together.

Hey, colour experts, give me a hand

I'm not that great with colours. I know what I like when I see it, but I'm not good at saying "this needs that specific colour", or "one more shade lighter or darker would be better".

I'm planning to crochet a blanket for my mom who loves red, but I'd like to include a couple more colours while still having it be mostly reds.

I landed on a plan like this:

First and last few rows are a dark navy blue, then a dark purple, going on to dark red to lighter red and a dark orange couple of rows in the middle.

If I squint and look at this, it looks kinda how I like it.

The question is: am I missing a colour between the purple and the dark red? What do you think?

All advise and input welcome. It's going to be a cute chevron stitch if I can figure that out (I have some yarn to practice it with)

It's not padding.

It's not filler.

It's actually good pacing.

I need a ned job. Do your best, potato!

Ias' first completed crochet project: a net bag for shopping. It didn't fall apart on my first shopping trip at least.

Up next: baby blanket.

Are you still having problems with wall hangings staying up? I had that too so annoying! I found the 3t2 job board made functional did that in my game. (mayfairsims tumblr com post 117077938383) I had to take it out and sell/rebuy every wall hanging to fix it. If you don't have that object it could be something else unexpected so sadly you have to 50/50 DL folder and buy new paintings to test.

Oh, hi.

Yes, I am still having that trouble and I do have that item in my game.

I don't strictly need that item in my game of course, since there are other hacked objects that perform the same function, so I'm going to try that.

Thanks for the tip!

Coincidentally, there are a lot of people who want to write stories without actually going through the process of writing them, so this sort of thing even go beyond what consumers think art is about.

I had a tattoo client ask if I ever used AI to design tattoos for me. Man I spent the better part of a decade doing shitty bit work as a graphic designer and now that I have the space to do whatever I want, I'm gonna let the computer generate random garbage for me? What next should I have a computer that eats my dinner and fucks my wife?

Also just Mr Beast, and all I know is that he's getting sued a lot.

Love it when Rolling Stone puts out an article about the 25 most influential internet creators and I've only heard of 7 of them

Teaching myself how to crochet but my first granny square only has three corners.

Look at the pretty yarn colours though!

Things hits don't tell you:

How many people reread it.

How many people liked it and didn't leave kudos.

How many people disliked it for a reason that I will not dislike it for ("wrong" person topped, A was mean, B was tall, whatever)

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?

Sims storytelling before you add the dialogue.

I haven’t listened to the audio, because it’s too perfect seeing characters emotionally move their mouth with tears while being completely silent.
