met Luke today!!!

Found out literally 20 minutes beforehand that he was at Cork Comic Con and of course I went down, sadly I have NOTHING to show for it because I was so flustered I forgot to ask for a picture lol, I only spoke to him and even that was a milestone as someone who has severe social anxiety. I was so nervous and he could obviously see that😭 But he was such a nice guy and I cannot believe that I saw Hans in front of me!!!!!!! 😭😭❤️❤️

TLDR: I was the most awkward person to ever live in front of Hans Capon of Pirkstein

Need help finding an RDR1/UN track

I’ve been trying to pin this down for YEARSSS ever since I first played RDR1 because it’s so creepy

The track is ambience, super eerie with off-key violins (not really with any particular tune). They’re sharp and discordant is the best way I could describe them. That part only lasts a few seconds and the rest of the track I’m not sure about

I've DEFINITELY heard it while roaming around in the base game on the new mobile version (can't remember if I ever heard it on the PS3 in the base game) around Gaptooth Ridge, but I've heard it way more in Undead Nightmare so I'm not sure if it's actually FROM Undead Nightmare or not as it's been a while since I played that DLC.

Thanks for any help🥹

My Trainspotting CD in my old CD player

(Cross posted from my TikTok) I loveee this thing my family have had it for years even though it makes the discs skip a lot :( it plays cassettes too so there’s an excuse to get the Trainspotting tape as well. Ignore my cat snoring in the back he’s just a sleepy fella 😭😭 I didn’t want to wake him just for this video

The collection so far

Very orange rn but I hope that’ll change when I get the 2nd CD👀 Framed the postcard like someone else suggested which is apparently quite rare I’ve discovered thanks to another person in my last post hehe

▲ 48 r/Manhunt

one small step for man(hunt)... (finally figured out how to convert MH2 models)

Finally I managed to convert Danny and Leo's models to Blender through trial and error as a TOTAL Blender noob!!! :D here is Danny just smiling and waving and shit... I don't know lol. I've never posed a model before so this is a first for me.

This has now put me on my way to making an alternate version of Danny post-Manhunt 2 (by mixing elements from him and Leo's models and MAYBE one or two from Bully if I can figure out a way to do so?) from a fanfiction that's been knocking around in my head about a hypothetical Manhunt 3. I don't really know how to go about that but I'll figure it out like how I did this!!!!

If anyone wants me to share the Leo and Danny models I converted lemme know, I'm sure someone more talented than me could do something way cooler

Screwing around with Daniel and Leo models

I’m trying to convert them into Blender models so I can edit them and make them into my own (WITHOUT downloading them from online if I can help it) and got a little distracted…..😭😭😭😭

Wasn’t expecting to see this in my English homework today!

I almost choked lol!!!

It also pissed me off that it was the wrong date and it claimed that the game targeted children which it never has and never will… but nevermind

Cross Country Edit🧡

I haven’t done one of these in over a year so it kinda looks like shit but oh well 🥹✌️ The bridle is kinda messed up, it was originally meant to be a micklem bridle but that looked weird as hell when I was drawing it. I also accidentally put the rein on the bottom ring of the bit… thank god this is a pixel horse

Does anyone else think the new Douglas Tesco is a bit of a nightmare?

I know it’s not finished yet so I’m excited to see what else they do with it, but I was in there yesterday and it was just a nightmare. I really liked that Tesco for the fact it’s perfectly spaced, there were windows actually visible, the lights weren’t too bright, etc. in my opinion there was no reason to do it up.
But now it’s so cramped and tight with bare white walls and it feels pretty much exactly like Paul Street Tesco, so I’m hoping it doesn’t stay that way for long!

But does anyone else feel like this too?

▲ 2 r/CeX

CeX gave me two extra DVDs I didn’t order (Ireland)

Hi all, my CeX order just arrived and I’m scratching my head majorly lol. I ordered Trainspotting and T2 Trainspotting on DVD almost two weeks ago and got complete radio silence for days. Last week they sent an email saying they couldn’t source T2 but could source Trainspotting.
A few minutes ago I got two parcels in the post, thinking maybe they could source T2 after all. In one of the parcels it was Trainspotting, but in the other it’s these two DVDs I didn’t order (Angels & Demons and MicMacs, neither have anything to do with Trainspotting other than the fact that Angels & Demons has Ewan McGregor in it lmfao). Consolation or what?
It has my exact address on the parcel containing the DVDs I didn’t want so it’s not like it’s a wrong order.
I’ll go into the shop near me tomorrow to see if it’s a mistake lol.

Two months later, it hasn’t gotten a lot easier

Hi everyone
Idk who’ll remember this but almost two months ago I lost my lovely senior cat Amber :( I am still absolutely devastated and I miss her every day. I dream about her every night and dream that she’s licking my hand and meowing at me. I can talk about her without crying (for a little bit) but I still have moments where it just overtakes me and I cry uncontrollably. I still can’t pass by the vets office without my chest getting tight. It’s also so so hard to talk about her in past tense. For weeks I had to keep talking about her in present tense. Also when I come home after a long day sometimes, I think “I can’t wait to see Amber”, and then I realise. She’s still part of my routine every day

On the bright side, completely by accident a few days after she passed away another orange cat just landed in my lap!! He was a stray for 4 years which led to him getting FIV (Amber was also most likely an FIV cat), and he was waiting in the vets to be fostered the day Amber was put to sleep. The second me and my family saw him we knew we had to have him even if it was very soon after she passed away. He has one ear (like how Amber had one eye, and how my old cat Ginger had no nose, so kind of going through all the missing facial features there lol…). We named him Vincent after Vincent Van Gogh and in the month we’ve had him he’s become an absolute softie, he’s helped me so much with my grief and I’ve helped him become a house cat and not be so afraid of people

He is obviously not meant to replace Amber. I still have dreams every night where I have both her and Vincent and they’re licking each other and getting along (even though I know that irl, she would have hated him lol, she loved being the centre of attention.) But the way I see it is that I have so much love to give so why don’t I give a cat who had never gotten love in his life a chance to get some of that

But yeah, long story short it still gets very hard sometimes. I would do anything at all to have one more minute with her. But I am so grateful for the 16 years I had with her.
My mom said something to me recently, that if I wasn’t upset it would be more worrying and that being so sad is only a sign that I loved her so much. I am fully prepared to still cry over her and all the other cats I’ve loved in 20 years, but hopefully she gets easier and easier to talk about because I love to talk about her.

Sorry for the rambling post

Some vampire Sims I made over the weekend

Sim 1: Rowan O'hAnnaidh

Sim 2: Gráinne O'hAnnaidh

Sim 3: Muirna O'hAnnaidh

Sim 4: Elvira Bayonet-Straud

My 'super realistic' save file has kinda gone out the window because vampires are just so damn fun to play as, and I've been having a lot of fun making Rowan a ripoff of Remmick from Sinners lolll

Odd chemically taste in Aldi Specially Selected chips? Or am I just weird?

Hi all, I didn’t report this to Aldi a few days ago because it wasn’t really a big enough deal for me and I assumed it was just an unlucky batch lol, but did anyone else notice an odd chemically/nail polish remover taste recently in the Aldi Specially Selected chunky oven chips? I really love these, they’re some of the only chips I can tolerate, so I was very taken aback lmao.
I cooked them in the air fryer which hadn’t had any cleaner in it recently, I cooked chicken in that same air fryer earlier that day and no chemical taste🤔

(The Sims 3) (Steam) Game will not launch no matter what I do

Hi everyone, so yesterday afternoon I began having an issue where my game just... won't launch. It might get to a black screen like its going to show the Maxis logo, but then it just quits to desktop. I'm fairly sure it isn't a CC issue because it's the same story with and without my CC folder.

I have reinstalled my graphics drivers (Intel), DirectX, reinstalled the game multiple times, including removing the Sims 3 Documents folder and the Steamapps Commons folder, used the Alder Lake patch and installed it correctly, used the Sims 3 CPU Add-On, cleared all my caches including with Regul Save Cleaner, etc.

On Sims 3 crash log analyzer, it says its a graphics driver issue, which doesn't make sense because it was working like a DREAM yesterday too, hardly any lag thanks to SettingsSetter, no crashes whatsoever, no texture glitches, anything. I just cannot understand what I've done wrong!

P.S. I had the same problem earlier that morning as well, but what did work was the reinstall after deleting the Sims 3 folders from Documents and Steamapps Commons and I could actually play the game (granted without my saves but I have a backup anyway), so I thought that would work the next time it happened too later in the afternoon. As I said... it has not 💔

Any help would be SO SO APPRECIATED! ❤️ I'm at my wits end with this game

My first household since redownloading after many years!!

Meet Stella O'hAnnaidh and her trusty steed Galway :) I used to play this game every day when I was like 11 (but because I didn't know how to optimise it the lack of an FPS limit obliterated my GPU...) and EVERY Sim I ever made was a girl who tames a wild mustang and is a horse whisperer lol, so it was only fitting to make this Sim of that same genre :D
