when the new fans from tlovm come asking what's the percy/vex ship name and we have to explain it's "perc'ahlia" yes with an apostrophe in the middle yes, THEN WHAT

I just bought Mass Effect: Andromeda as a reward to myself for surviving having family staying over visiting multiple times (and because it’s on sale on the PSN) and my god I don’t think I’ve ever seen worse font selection in a game of this calibre. It is so hard to read and I can’t imagine how this made it past playtesting??? If I was dyslexic or even slightly visually impaired this would be downright impossible.

Video game fonts and menus have really been getting worse in these big titles lately (from what I’ve seen) and I don’t understand how that can be a trend like don’t you want people to be able to read the stuff you spent time implementing???

There’s no accessibility options either, of course : )

funniest part of euripides' orestes is when menelaus repeatedly tells his nephew (who is being haunted by the furies) that he looks like absolute fucking shit before asking him what happened but also telling him to be, like, quick about it

please please please do NOT give up on medicating your adhd because you have a bad experience during your first attempts. finding the right medication/dosage combo takes trial and error, but it can feel like a MIRACLE once you do.

Being medicated isn’t for everyone, but it is a powerful tool in our toolbox. and I am seeing way too many people giving up that option prematurely, because they are unware that:

there are different medication options. they do not all have the same side effects, and not all are amphetamines 

dosage matters. if you are discontinuing bc of side effects, consider trying a lower dose first

some side effects will balance out after the first few weeks if you stick with it. you are looking for a longterm solution, so give it time.

a good doctor will be willing to work with you to find a regime that works

finding the right meds/dosage combo will take trial and error. and it will be worth it once you do.

"wangxian look so handsome in their archery competition outfits like they're getting married! 🥺" Ok but no one cares. Wangxian absolutely flopped in comparison to these HORSES! Look how handsome they are!!! Their manes are so sleek and shiny!!!! I wonder what their names are! Ever think about that? No you probably didn't . Because you only think about yourslef .

When artistic visionary Ann Ghelld passed away, she bequeathed her beloved townhouse to the city as affordable housing for fellow creative types... on one stipulation; that nobody touched its eccentric and wildly impractical layout. While this final request has caused its share of architectural headaches, nonetheless, the Ann Ghelld Building survives in the heart of Sim City’s basket weaving district. Upon crossing its unusual threshold you might grab a coffee from Cafe Urele, pick up a bouquet or snacks from LlaMart Convenience, or simply catch the elevator up to any of its three apartments.

I love watching LilSimsie’s videos, even though we play different editions, and I particularly enjoy her shell challenges - where she uploads empty exterior walls and others have to make a lot out of it. I especially liked this one, referred to lovingly by LilSimsie & her followers as the “Big Mistake Shell Challenge” - because all the exterior walls are 100% diagonal.

This is just as difficult to work around in TS4 as it is in TS2, so I wanted to join in the torture! The (wonky) red lines mark the untouchable shell. I ended up really happy with the results, so I’m sharing this fully-furnished, cleaned, play-tested, CC-free apartment building in the hopes you’ll enjoy it too.

Important info, more pics & download link below!

🚨 PLEASE LOAD THIS LOT BEFORE MOVING SIMS IN 🚨

When you move Sims into an apartment, it’s difficult to safely alter anything outside, so please make sure to check that everything is as it should be before you move Sims in.

You do not need CC or mods to play this lot. However, it was made with a few common mods in mind, and if you don’t want to use them, please tweak the lot before playing:

Rugs have been placed off-grid. Either make sure you have Rugs Off The Grid, or delete/move rugs to avoid graphical glitches as seen in these previews.

If you don’t have Water Inaccessible Flowers and Trim Inaccessible Bushes then you may need to move/delete some landscaping and/or fences.

The ground floor was designed for use with Apartments & Shopping On The Same Lot. If you don’t use this mod, nothing bad will happen, but the bottom floor will not sell anything except via the vending machines & electronics kiosk. You can replace the convenience store with a common area such as an indoor pool, computer room, etc, or even another apartment; I honestly recommend leaving the cafe as-is, because your playable Sims can still work there as a barista.

There is no CC in this lot, but there are some deco "accessory” items not normally accessible by players (e.g. a saucepan). If you delete these you may not be able to replace them. Similarly, some items were placed with Shiftable Everything. If you delete some items you may not be able to replace them in the same positions without this mod.

A corner counter in the top apartment may not corner properly when the lot is placed. This can be fixed with moveobjects. Although it clips, it is considered within the apartment, so you can put objects on it without apartment cheats.

If you don’t use Shiftable Trash Chutes, your chutes may appear glitched (see below). This is harmless and can be fixed simply by replacing the chute. Note: the chute on the second floor was originally placed with the cheat setquartertileplacement on.

If you play with CC, then I also have some suggestions for where it might improve this lot:

The expensive computer in the cafe (I hate that hideous thing) would be much better as a laptop.

The flower plots on the rooftop would also make a great produce garden with Honeywell’s placeable garden plots.

You can replace a corkboard in the lobby with a jobs board.

The signs for Cafe Urele might look nicer with a recolour or swapped out for a cute sandwich board.

The bike racks by the basketball court look a bit bare without some deco bikes.

The bare brick wall at the back of the building is prime real estate for some graffiti.

The busker’s guitar out the front will look a little more appropriate with an invisible amp recolour and maybe a decorative case.

If you find all the lights overpowering, don’t forget to turn some off.

And of course, don’t forget to add fences, hedges, etc. that will make this lot blend in better with the surrounding lots in your hood.

The first apartment has two separate bedrooms; Currently, it’s furnished as though occupied by two unrelated roommates - one sewist and one musician - but it could also work for a parent and a child. It has this kitchenette common area as well as a small balcony.

The second apartment is the most “luxury”. It’s a cozy open-plan studio with a double bed, a small but quality kitchen, and its own balcony. This is ideal for a D.I.N.K couple or perhaps a single Romance Sim.

The top apartment is the smallest and cheapest, barely fitting a kitchenette and single bed, but there’s space to move out on the building’s largest balcony. Perfect for an artsy single Sim working or studying in the big city. (The little reading nook bumpout is my favourite detail.)

All bathrooms are more or less identical, with a toilet, basin, medicine cabinet, trash can, and shower. The second floor studio has a shower/bath combo.

I wanted the lot to have free skilling opportunities, so all residents have access to the rooftop garden and free use of the crafting station & chess set there. There’s also a bookcase in the cafe, a guitar on the street for busking, an outdoor gym, and a basketball hoop.

Sims should be able to access everything (except the flowers/hedges - see above) without routing errors, though of course, with such an “interesting” layout, your Sims might get a bit cramped and fussy. The only issue I ran into is that there’s nowhere on the second floor for the newspaper to be delivered, so it often glitches into the apartment on the left, regardless of which apartment you live in. You can retrieve the paper in buy mode without cheats. This is not an issue on the top floor.

Thank you so much for reading! I don’t remember the last time I shared a lot for download; if you do end up playing it, I’d love to hear how it went.

What people think Ever After High is: ❤️🤍A fun, silly franchise about the kids of fairytale characters with lots of puns and cute outfits! 💜🖤

What Ever After High actually is: A dystopian world where once a generation, based solely on who they’re born to, children are assigned future roles in the reenactments of every single fairytale, which were actual historical events in this fantasy realm. This tradition is believed to be cosmically mandated to prevent complete societal collapse and destruction. Its origins are unclear, but its true purpose is to preserve the current and future power of the decadent elite. These roles then dominate the children’s lives in a strict caste system, determining their social standing and treatment, what interests and careers they’re allowed to pursue, how they’re expected to generally behave, who they should be friends and fall in love with; and many grow up knowing that they’ll be forced to die young, suffer abuse or other traumatic experiences, marry someone they don’t love and/or commit terrible crimes just because they’re ‘destined’ to. People well-known (or at least universally believed) to be immoral are not only allowed, but encouraged to raise children to follow in their footsteps, almost guaranteeing some kind of child abuse that nobody ever protests. Standard education revolves around perpetuating this cycle. One teenage girl’s rebellion sparks a larger student movement against the countless injustices of the system. However, half the students still cling to it because a) their destinies grant them privileges, b) they fear the loss of everything they know and love to defiance-induced chaos and c) their identities are so deeply tied to their prewritten ones that they don’t know who they are or what to do without them. Oh, and because they’re explicitly told by a trusted authority figure that they will die if they rebel. The young protagonists must now reevaluate their perceptions of themselves and each other and come of age while navigating this turbulent conflict and the questions it raises. For example: how much is individual freedom worth in relation to societal stability? How can you maintain a friendship with someone who has mutually exclusive beliefs and learn to compromise? If you personally do your very best to be fair and loving but support and benefit from a corrupt system that has been deceiving you, have you in fact always been selfish? They’re also forced to protect their nation from increasingly deadly supernatural threats.

I'm gonna need a couple thousand pictures of Loki in that all black suit now ok thanks

[manofbeskar]

The very first thing Din ever said to Cobb is “I’ve been searching for you for many parsecs” like this man was going across the galaxy asking everyone who might know something, following every lead, finding his way to this tiny little town to Cobb. And he’s been looking for other Mandos since S1. Imagine meeting someone and the first thing you tell them is “I’ve been looking all over for you” like what the fuck. Gay little Mando?? And then Cobb saying “NOW YOU FOUND ME”?? “WHY DON’T YOU JOIN ME FOR A DRINK?” Gay little Marshal… Damn

Sorry but there will never be another line in The Mandalorian that will be more romantic to me than that

TVA sucks so much it took Loki 15 minutes to find a loophole in their system and that was when he had restricted access to only his own file
