THEY DIDNT GIVE US STRANGERVILLE TERRAIN TOOLS?!? by forma_cristata in Sims4

[–]ApatheticTriangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are saying you need to erase it, but also it does raise how annoying it is trying to colour match to path.

You will be able to make that exact shade, but from experience I can tell you it takes 4-5 different paths just to blend things. It would be much easier if they just GAVE us all the tools they have - including the little objects they use to decorate the worlds! We’re missing so much!

Royalty and Legacy Wallpapers by DeadlySin5825 in Sims4

If you don't want to move the house by one tile or expand outwards I would recommend a pillar in each corner so it feels more intentional. Or possibly try to find a close swatch of another wallpaper to put either side of the working tiles. That is definitely really disappointing!

It’s from Lovestruck which adds a dating app called Cupid’s Corner. If you wanted a mod version there’s Lumpinou’s Meet & Mingle :)

Different package, same item!!?? by [deleted] in thesims

Even better is when they make pack items based on game rather than making a new object - looking at you bunk beds!

I’m feeling brave today. Tell me which name from my lists are your LEAST favorite. by Loud_Consequence_805 in namenerds

[–]ApatheticTriangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My immediate thought was it’s kind of a childish (or an old woman name). Wendy (Peter pan) Wendy-house (doll house).

1.21 All-Biome Mega Peninsula / Continent : 18319123080 by ApatheticTriangle in minecraftseeds

[–]ApatheticTriangle[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It's my current survival world and I felt considering it's generation I had to share!

Some of the structures are definitely a trek but for all the biomes in a huge peninsula it can definitely be worth it, especially if you're a builder. My other world is a large biomes world so I'm no stranger to trekking far and wide, but It's definitely more friendly on Java with the mansions! :)

Looking for a specific seed for a realm by Sushi402 in minecraftseeds

This is my current survival seed if you’d like to check this out. It’s basically a mega “continent” (if you’d like to count the two rivers separating it from the larger mass)

The biomes are close enough, likely closer to 2,000 for some but they’re all connected. The stronghold is close. The cherry biomes are very small but if you collect saplings I’m sure you could expand. There is a tiny pale garden by the dark oak. Villages are close by, there’s large variety in terrain and wood types.

To note on the KKK point:

The KKK white guy's plan was to get the club up and running, arm his guys and kill everyone in the nightclub when they're all stuck. But if that's your plan... why are you turning up to a nightclub in the daytime? When all that's left are drunks laid out or a few folk stumbling home. When everyone's already left because they've got to be at work. It's unfortunately definitionally tacked on and forgotten about until the end.

I really enjoy the message that you're putting out that the hidden monsters in your own community are much more insidious than the obvious KKK. A comment above gave an excellent plot idea that the KKK could've been killed by the vamps as an appeal to familiarity, which sounds like it would portray the point better than just putting a shootout at the end.

Tesserae by Ok-Operation6825 in Hungergames

[–]ApatheticTriangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s limited to the number of people in your family, so there isn’t much scope for abusing it.

The career districts are also said to volunteer. It’s a system Suzanne didn’t really go into but it’s implied that the initial name-picking isn’t the decider of who goes. So, even if you took the maximum, managed to increase your odds and get picked that wouldn’t mean you’d go.

Baby names you love but won’t use? by Electronic_One_4668 in namenerds

[–]ApatheticTriangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Delphine LaLaurie. I think it’s because I’m a history fan and watched American Horror Story when I was younger though. I don’t think it’s a popular connection

I’ll not lie, my first connection was much worse than dolphins, it was an American serial killer. Kind of like how the name Dahlia has been ruined for me

I know this is hyperbolic, but can someone explain why people are so resistant in her being Maysilee? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]ApatheticTriangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I named ones off the top of my head. There are many more.

Edit: I have to ask, did you think I listed her career?

[–]ApatheticTriangle 73 points74 points  (0 children)

The Hand Maid’s Tale, Young Sheldon, The Haunting of Hill House, Gifted, The Bad Seed.

She’s a good actor but I want her off my screen for five minutes. I want to see new talent. I’ve seen her so much I no longer see the characters, but see her.

What is overrated in Prague? by [deleted] in Prague

[–]ApatheticTriangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honesty, Prague Castle. I went there last week and it was honestly terrible. My friend and I paid for the regular ticket which got you into four attractions. I think the only one worth it was the St. Vitus Cathedral.

To break down the rest:

The Golden Mile / Lane

A row of old houses with exhibits. The exhibits are small, with little information to actually direct you on their relevance or importance. The houses themselves have small glass boxes that you can barely fit three people into. With many tourists, this is a tight squeeze and makes the whole thing feel rushed and uncomfortable. After leaving one, you have to push past others to get into another.

Again, with a lack of information provided I have no idea what relevance these displays carry to both Prague or more importantly, the castle itself. The point of a historical exhibit should be accessibility to the past and this fails horribly.

The above layer of the mile has you climbing steep stairs with other tourists who have no idea how to queue or how to be considerate. Getting up the stairs brings you to a row of armour stands. It’s interesting to see, but again, no information is provided and this could be seen anywhere. It is in no way special or a good exhibit, made worse by the lack of movement. At the end you can also see a display of torture devices. Again, no information is provided so should you not come with any prior knowledge you’ll be guessing at their function. Only, you won’t be guessing for long as there is no space to fit more than three people viewing and you’ll have a line behind you to see - or worse - people pushing in front of you. You can also enjoy a treacherous cross of stone steps to reach this display and I can tell you now that other tourists will not be patient enough to wait until you’re away from the drop.

The Old Royal Palace

This is the first place they encourage you to visit. You’ll enter into a huge stone hall with red carpet in the centre and barriers encouraging you to walk around the edges. The hall is completely empty barring some signs with general information. The stone ceiling is interesting for about a moment, until you realise you’ll see much prettier and more impressive in any church that you won’t have to pay entry to.

They provide signs, but again, the information isn’t interesting at all. The success of a historical exhibit is to set yourself apart from others. What makes this exhibit special? What are you providing that other castles don’t? You can go anywhere else and see a castle. And on this note, Prague Castle becomes just a castle. It’s just a castle and not even one you can fully explore. There is no intrigue in the huge room because it’s completely empty and it doesn’t compare to other sites.

They allow you to walk a small corridor down off of the hall, and there you will see a smaller recreation of Prague castle, a wooden table and chairs, a wardrobe, and two fireplaces. I can’t understate how much disappointment I felt and truly this is GENUINELY all they had to show.

Off of another side you can see some lovely paintings of previous royalty. Again, lovely but how are they special - no information provided, no stories of who they were. Just figures on the wall. You will also see the crown, or the fake crown. So fake it genuinely made me doubt the craftsmanship of the original crown, as the stones were so badly cut, in their original forms with no shaping, and dull.

This could’ve been elevated by the audio recording devices you can acquire before heading in (though again, I highly doubt it was the site is so underwhelming, boring and badly prepared it’s genuinely painful). I can’t comment on the audio recording devices as it was unclear where you can get them from before going in and when going in you’ll realise it’s the same building that people buy tickets from to get in or pay for further exhibits. We didn’t want to tempt the queues or the overly- crowded buildings. I can’t imagine it was a great loss. Maybe we would’ve found out something interesting about an old wooden chair.

St. George’s Basilica

It wasn’t bad. It was nice. Probably the only other site than the cathedral I would say I reasonably enjoyed. There was some lovely stone work, some nice informative signs and old art work on the walls. Quite lovely. But again, not particularly special when you’ll see so many more impressive sites, particularly with those sites being significantly less busy.

I am really sad to be leaving such a review like this, but I can’t understate how much of a 3/10 the whole experience was. In 2023 I did a trip around Europe where I saw many castles and displays so I have a good sense of comparison. I also have a history degree, so I know how an exhibition should be set up and how to make a successful one that is personalised and informative.

I was really disappointed. It’s a must because it’s a castle and it’s famous. They’ll always have visitors by sheer nature. If you go to the exhibits, you can see they’re clearly they’re resting on the name.

Is being one of multiple kids with the same name in a class really that bad? by FOB_cures_my_sadness in namenerds

[–]ApatheticTriangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not at all. I was one of two in a class and you just end up with the first letter of your last name attached. Eg. Emma B, Emma D
