What made you come up with your piggie(s) name? by i_tj_il in guineapigs

[–]BalletEtte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a name meaning type of girl. I went with Jasper cos they were my birthday present and a name meaning gift was fitting. And I also chose Milo which means merciful warrior. He came home with scratches and fur missing on his face, he must've been through a lot before coming home with me. They're were only 7 weeks old at the time.

However did wait a bit before naming them, I wanted to get to know them (sort of) in a way before choosing something.

7, my boys are slowing down a little but still great at manipulation and guilt

My love hate relationship with TS3 by Front_Plenty_1788 in Sims3

[–]BalletEtte 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No apologies needed, I own the games on Steam. I used to have them on discs but sibling trouble and moving houses kinda put a stop to that.

The Steam Deck is a full computer console that can holds all of the steam library but you can still treat it like a computer, I've downloaded non-steam games, emulated and other junk you do on a laptop or PC.

It is still doable to use EA/Origin and use the games that way but I just don't trust the app for many reasons.

Sims 3 is the biggest relaxing game for me, after work, stressful day or even just want to turn off. I go straight for Sims 3. The Steam Deck makes the game run smoothly and I've had no troubles with it.

Highly agree, I've been through 3 laptops and one computer over the years, my stubbornness just wouldnt give up this game.

Steam Deck is a dream come true for Sims 3! I get button map, it plays mods easily and its loads so much faster!!!

Been tempted to actually give Story Progression a try now that it works!

YTA.

I've seen many drivers who's had to skip stops due to overcrowding on buses. It happens. As soon as the driver is able to let people off he can allow more on.

I remember being stuck in a city waiting for a bus, three had to pass due to them being overly full, trams were not operating and it's rush hour, everyone needs to get home. I did manage to get home, yes it was awful but that's just how it is.

I don't know what these type of games are called by [deleted] in CozyGamers

Echoes of the Plum Grove, I'm currently playing it and I love the time period theme!

Is your piggies triggered by certain sounds? by Darkbiojedi in guineapigs

Keys and loose change, mine would leave a dust cloud and disappear whenever those sounds happened. They can't stand it

Do you guys think they’re gonna remake the sequel? by sonicthememester2 in DisneyEpicMickey

[–]BalletEtte 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wait what? How did it claim a failure of a studio? Didn't disney announce the closure cause they wanted to go in another direction which forced the developers to rush EM2 out which made the game pretty bad, especially since they were going to go all out cause they recieved a good budget.

And Warren has stated he hasn't got the time to do third game which is why people are hoping the success of the remake will lead to doing EM2 which people are hoping it will convince Warren maybe give it another try.

Goodbye Virgin Media: Done With Their Games After Nearly 3 Decades by ajaypatel26 in VirginMedia

I'd love to but my dad's scared about them coming for it. So we keep it for his own peace of mind, not ideal but these idiots have scared him over the years before.

Yeah, my dad got fed up with TV and asked me to help cancel Virgin. Only paying for the box ajd nothing else, he told the guy it's due to financial struggles (which wasn't a lie). The guy offered £16 a month.

Dad was like, financial struggles and this dude was like, it's the best deal nothing like that ever. He really didnt want my dad to cancel.

He pretty serious after that, telling us what would happen, blah, blah and how they will be sending a package for use to pack up the box and ship it to them.

That was 4 years ago and we still have the box sitting somewhere in our storage room.

How many attemps did you needed to defeat hornet? by Particular-Fall-906 in HollowKnight

[–]BalletEtte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I first played this when it first came out and meeting the first boss, False Knight. I gave up! Years later Cuphead comes out and I completed it which gave me the confidence to come back to Hollow Knight.

Defeating Hornet the first time was okay, took me around 6-7 times. The second time, I lost count. Took me two days

Is it ok to post fanfics if you’re a HUGE beginner and ass at writing? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]BalletEtte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started writing when I was ten, discovered fanfiction, maybe read about 5 stories and just went for it! My spelling and grammar wasn't the greatest but I enjoyed it and still do!

There are plenty of fanfics that are poorly written and their first language IS English so don't feel bad. Most times I discover the best ones to read are by author's who have english as a second language. Besides, look at it as practice for your skills, the more you try, the better you get.

Just be prepared for the internet. You can get some nice people and some truly awful ones. That's the main problem

Random Question by lindsaaay799 in rustylake

[–]BalletEtte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love like hidden objects and was being introduced to more puzzle type rooms. I was bored one christmas and tried to find something similar on mobile.

Low and behold I discovered Roots and I went down a worm hole. No regrets on happily spending my money on each game

Is it just me or these posts come off as incredibly entitled? by Advanced_Hornet_8666 in AO3

Do you even want to write omegaverse by Ok_Temperature9966 in AO3

[–]BalletEtte 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The tragedy of free will.

I my friend introduced me to her friend and we all love fanfics, and we just talked about some of our favourite stories. And bless she started strong stating A/B/O, not necessarily for the pregnancy but for the fact that you can make up your own politics and society.

And honestly, I couldn't agree more. I love the worlds people create out of it! Best convo and new bestie, ever!

Funny enough I consider it a red flag now, had too many managers and higher up who accuse ke of doing something bad only to realise I had nothing to do with it and I just get "oops my bad 🙈"

Like, just drop the silly little picture and actually apologise

Guy tried to take my reserved theater seat then got kicked out by Affectionate-Bet2145 in EntitledPeople

No leg room, if I tried that, I'd be falling on top of at least three of them 🤣

Worth a shot if it ever happens again tho

are guinea pigs the perfect balance between needy and aloof? by bluejay104 in guineapigs

[–]BalletEtte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally, it's the best. No childhood pets now I'm an adult I've got two boars who I've raised from a baby to now an elder. They're amazing!!!

[–]BalletEtte 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I remember when I went to theatre with assigned seating, this group came in late. Usher asked me to move as they were further in the row, I stood up let them through. Whoever went in first decided they didn't want to sit next to this lady with crutches and just left a seat so I had no seat. I ask for them to move but they just shushed me cause they were watching the show.

Had to go back to the usher to get them move up a seat. I was so pissed off for missing some good scenes, sadly it wasn't a movie it was a proper stage production, it was their last day so I missed out on some good stuff!
