- Comment on EA re-release The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 on PC as DLC-stuffed Legacy editions 1 day ago:
I wish we could get this for the Sims 3. I still play that over 4 sometimes as it had more content and better quality in some areas. Love the bigger neighborhood aspect, for sure.

I didn’t know about that last part. Now I’m going to say I’m a former JW so they leave me alone lol
- Comment on Does Gmail have more spam now? 3 days ago:
It’s not necessarily Gmail, I have a variety of these free email accounts and my Gmail rarely ever gets spam. But my Yahoo has been getting hit HARD lately.
This is not unusual for this time of year. At the beginning of each year, this happens.
My theory is that it’s because in the US, this is when citizens begin working on their taxes and are able to get tax refunds as early as January. This means that malicious actors have a wide variety of money potentially available from these people having money from tax refunds and they have a higher chance of getting more money at this time.
That’s my theory, anyway. It starts to die down after April, which is the deadline for US citizens to file taxes for the year.

They’re expecting the 50 series to have some scarcity issues, so be aware of that. In addition to that, it’s possible that people may scalp up 40 series because of an expected shortage, so be aware of that as well.
That’s what I experienced when trying to upgrade from the 10 to the 20 even when the 30 came out. People were still hoarding 20 series and I wasn’t able to comfortably upgrade until the 40 series came out.

Those are really great specs and yeah you should be able to run just about anything released so far at the maximum settings with those specs.
That’s quite the build, a dream for most of us. Lucky boyfriend you got lol
- Comment on Ubisoft lay off another 185 people and shutter one of the studios behind Star Wars: Outlaws and The Division 2 5 days ago:
Ubisoft deserves every bit of this.
Sucks for those people losing their jobs, though.
Ubisoft has been shooting themselves in the foot at every turn they make and making no intention on going back on any of it. Good riddance, Ubisoft. You used to be a company I looked forward to releasing a new game.
- Comment on GDC 2025 survey shows PC game development growing with lots interested in Valve's Steam Deck 1 week ago:
All according to Valve’s plan. No doubt they sell the Deck at a loss because the price is phenomenal for today’s hardware prices on what this can do.
But they’re definitely making up for it in Steam sales and continued market dominance. Not like they needed the latter since the competition is dogshit with even GOG lacking since they have no official Linux support.
- Comment on What was your worst relationship and when did you realise it had to end 1 week ago:
Recently I’d say. She had a lot of good qualities and we had good times, but we ended on a sour note when it became apparent to me that she was selfish and after she gaslit me.
I had long been bothered by her practically ignoring me after the afternoon hours. I felt really alone most evenings and nights. I’d call her and she wouldn’t answer or text her and wouldn’t hear from her until the next day. I’m 99% sure she wasn’t cheating on me, but nevertheless, it still hurt to know she was often ignoring me.
When I brought up how lonely I felt, her response was “it’s not my job (to make you not feel lonely)”. I didn’t realize it was…? That’s not at all what I was saying or trying to insinuate. I was trying to make her understand that she would tell me she would call me later that evening and never do so and I would make attempts to contact her and she wouldn’t respond. I felt alone and out of place.
Then she said some stuff to her ex that made me feel uneasy but I simply asked her to elaborate a bit on what she said. This is when she gaslit me to turn the problem back on me and in my face, saying I was making the situation about myself.
Then she spent the rest of the day enjoying herself and never once reaching out to me. It was highlighted more so on that day due to it being my dad’s 5th anniversary of him passing. But she didn’t know and I wasn’t holding that against her. It just so happened to coincide on this day and made me realize how selfish she usually was to me and how bothered it made me feel.
And then funny enough was how she said to me “I reached out to you and I felt alone.” Huh…where have I heard that before? And that remark was made because I simply asked her to elaborate on the weird thing she said to her ex. Saying “a lot would have to change for us to get back together”. The fact you have conversations like this with your ex when we’re supposed to be together is wild on its own, but the fact you said that sounds weird for someone who’s supposed to be in a committed relationship. But I didn’t say that and I didn’t react negatively to it. I simply asked her to explain what she meant by saying that to her ex.
And her response was to blow up on me for it and say I was making it all about myself 🤷♂️
Oh well. Good riddance to that relationship. I’ve been single ever since but I’d rather be single and at peace than to be treated and talked to like that.
It’s a shame and I sometimes miss her, but then I’m reminded of that and all the selfish ways she was with me and I’m happy to be single than to be there again.
- Comment on Do dogs and cats have dominant front paws? 2 weeks ago:
Not always, but generally his right more times than not. I was playing with him specifically last night to get him to use the left but he kept using the right.
I think it depends on his position to me, where he may be comfortable to use his left at some times and that’s when he chooses his left.
It’s something I just noticed last night so I’m still new to recognizing it as well.
- Comment on Do dogs and cats have dominant front paws? 2 weeks ago:
I noticed this last night with my cat.
I taught him a few years ago to reach out with his paw to ask for pets and he always seems to use his right paw even though I taught him on both paws. He reaches out his right paw and taps my hand or me elsewhere and brings my hand to his chin to get some pets.
Just noticed it is always the right but sometimes he will use the left, but he seems to prefer the right.

Thank you for sharing that! Great to see with numbers, but also quite depressing.
- Comment on What is currently holding us back from mining in space? 3 weeks ago:
Of course, just surprised they actually exist.
Then again, I guess it shouldn’t be a total surprise since people are trying to raise capital and invest.

- Comment on What are the current most common symptoms of Covid? I was told about two years ago that a fever is no longer even really a symptom. Yet when I look it up on the CDC website, it shows fever is a sympto 4 weeks ago:
The US is currently giving away free test kits to all Americans, shipping is also free so this will only cost you your time.
They allow 4 per household and the tests do expire, but I feel everyone should get these to have on hand just in case they believe they have symptoms.
- Comment on Is there a way to search for specific words on a site? 4 weeks ago:
That’s pretty awesome! That had some options like that for sale.
This specific listing says that this is at no additional cost to the buyer. They give you 250 miles or 2 days to rethink the deal that was made and it extends to everyone. Not as good as yours but still good since the law doesn’t require it here.
- Comment on Is there a way to search for specific words on a site? 4 weeks ago:
Surprised to see there were some archived versions from a few months ago for this but the site seemed to have been broken by archiving though I was able to copy and paste it out and see more but still nothing.
Thanks for the suggestion!

For real lol. And that last bit on their comment is pure irony.
- Comment on Why is Green and Red the colors of Christmas? 5 weeks ago:
I always thought it was for mistletoe which has green leaves and red berries. But maybe that’s something that came after red and green were established as Christmas’ colors?
- Comment on Do spam calls "I wanna buy your house" ever work? Has anyone ever sold their house like that? 1 month ago:
Same here. I had one of these bozos reach out to me and wouldn’t give me an exact price but said he bought a “similar” home nearby for $120k.
Nah…fuck off. I paid more than double of that for my house.
I really wish I could get my fucking phone number removed from wherever it is that these scumbags pull from because their “offers” are nowhere near reasonable and just a waste of everyone’s time.
- Comment on How do I search for this part? 1 month ago:
This might be something to ask Amazon’s Rufus AI about. I’ve actually had success describing things like this and it finding what I’m looking for on Amazon.
You may also check Thingiverse or another 3D printing website for parts for “airsoft helmet” and if you can find it, like this one www.thingiverse.com/thing:2799476 you can either search for similar terms on a site like Amazon or have this 3D printed by a friend or a shop or it might be your entry into 3D printing with your own printer to print this and other parts.
- Comment on I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out? 1 month ago:
There’s a YouTube video on one time this happened and a woman was sucked out of the window partially and ended up passing away as a result. She was seated directly beside that window when this happened and others were trying to pull her in. The plane took an emergency action to land as soon as possible. She didn’t completely exit the window, but was partially out of the window.
Sorry I didn’t give you a story with a nicer ending, but just know that this is rare and doesn’t happen often. The odds of this happening are almost similar to winning the lottery. People are scared of flying, in general, but you’re generally safer in the air than in a car, statistically speaking for something to happen.
- Comment on Steam is adding a new default option for game updates 1 month ago:
Absolutely correct on that one too. Again with Rockstar and breaking GTA V mods again. Despite the fact I never touch online multiplayer ever.
Why the fuck does this game absolutely need to update which only ever just breaks my modding experience???
- Comment on Steam is adding a new default option for game updates 1 month ago:
I wish we could disable updates entirely for some games we choose. It’s extremely unfair for a company like Rockstar to replace a game like the original GTA games with the horrible “remastered” versions nobody wanted or forcing users to now install and use a secondary launcher that wasn’t there when they bought the game in the first place.
- Comment on If we're living in a simulation, why would the simulation creators allow the sims to ponder and speculate whether or not they live in a simulation? 1 month ago:
Video game designers do something similar to this in hiding “Easter eggs” in their games and the code that makes the game that often break the 4th wall or just bypass it.
Maybe it’s fun? See who can figure it out and come as close as they can to the truth without actually getting to the truth?
- Comment on Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match? 1 month ago:
You are correct. I’ve been watching a lot of true crime on YouTube lately and regardless whether someone is guilty or innocent, it seems it is ALWAYS in your best interest to get lawyered up and keep quiet if the cops are interrogating you.
I have mixed feelings about the guilty assholes, because it’s frustrating seeing someone give up their rights and be so open about their crimes but on the other hand, I’m glad they’re so dumb so they can be removed from society and punished.
But it is nothing but frustration seeing innocent people go through that out of genuine sincerity. “I have nothing to hide, so I’ll be open with the cops.” Fucking do not. It’s probably a 50% chance of encountering a bad cop but no matter how low the statistic is, there is too much at stake to risk encountering someone who twists your words and uses it against you to frame you so they can close a case.
Lawyer up and shut up. Don’t talk to cops as much as you can help it. Especially don’t volunteer to have your name cleared.
