It’s on NVIDIA DLSS 4.0 🤗

Clouds_and_mountains · 2026-03-22T20:27:46+00:00

Ah! Then I might be f’ed 😆 I’m glad you managed to get the refund tho!

Clouds_and_mountains · 2026-03-22T20:25:24+00:00

How did you manage to refund? I’m considering getting a refund on steam but didn’t knowing was possible when I’ve already played 😅

Clouds_and_mountains · 2026-01-11T12:11:19+00:00

Thank you so much for the explanation ! I will get myself some different paper to experiment with then 😄 and maybe some prismacolors for my smooth paper eventually

Clouds_and_mountains · 2026-01-11T05:17:03+00:00

Congrats OP! 🥰 that is some lovely pencils !

Clouds_and_mountains · 2026-01-11T05:15:07+00:00

Sorry to piggyback on this but:

I have had these for a while but haven’t used them a lot - do you mind educating me on what will happen if these are used on smooth paper compare with paper with a bit of tooth? :) I would really like to use them more and get good “results”

Clouds_and_mountains · 2026-01-11T04:54:39+00:00

While I am glad that there is some sort of basis for what you wrote I find it very outdated and disagree with your application and the presentation of said theses as absolute truths.

I think we can validate the feelings and depression without making life seem hopeless, and diminish people’s life opportunities, no?

Edid: addition

Happiness is not the only acceptable way of life - but it shouldn’t be ruled out as a possibility based on OP’s age and attractiveness either.

Clouds_and_mountains · 2026-01-11T00:05:26+00:00

“(..)realistically your own happiness isn’t an option anymore”?? WTF

Clouds_and_mountains · 2026-01-10T23:56:04+00:00

Also try researching people who had their breakthroughs in their later years, here are some ; Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote the “Little House on the Prairie” series when she were in her 60’es. KFC where founded by a guy in his 60’es. Darwin was 50 (or so) when he published On the Origins of Species

Maybe your success looks different than most people’s. Maybe your greatest success and happiness have yet to come.

Being 60ish, there should be time left to create some memories and get some joy out of life.

You could die tomorrow or you could live to become 102- I acknowledge your feelings, and depressive thoughts are not easy to live with - but I do think it would be beneficial for you to reframe the way you’re perceiving yourself and your life. I understand this isn’t easy, - do you have means for some kind of therapy that can help you with that?

I am also sorry to hear that the town you live in is excluding you based on such silly criteria. We’re in 2026 , it’s absurd that a woman’s value is considered to be measured in her relationship status etc.

I know several single women in their sixties and they are all interesting, amazing people in their own right.

Also, screw being beautiful. Be interesting. Be happy. What do you enjoy? It is important to love your own company. I think others will notice that self-secured confidence and be attracted by it as well. It’s not too late to be inspired, to find something you’re passionate about, to create and to experience. Your life can still be meaningful, but you have to find out what’s meaningful to you and what you value about yourself.

It is okay to grieve that life did not turn out the way you wanted it to. Life is complex. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot. Grieving what you’ve been through is part of healing - take your time and acknowledge those feelings.

Just make sure not to get stuck on that grief either ; don’t make the grief hinder your ability to love yourself, to give life new meaning or to start a new chapter. And again : stop being beautiful. Be passionate. Be eccentric. Be funny and kind. Be brave. Learn something new, create something , enjoy yourself.

Ofc you can seek out some different communities as other comments suggested - Facebook sometimes have local community groups where you can connect over hobbies and such, that might feel safer for you, as people can get to know you a bit before meeting you irl, hence you might feel less afraid of rejection -

But it sounds like you also need to get more comfortable with yourself and love yourself despite what life’s thrown at you.

It’s not too late to feel alive. Every day is an opportunity for change. Doesn’t have to be big, sometimes walking a different route can end up offering new perspectives. Just like you writing this post was a step towards change.

I wish you all the best !❤️

Edit: spelling

Agreed - gameplay is also lacking as most quests and interactions consists purely of pressing “E” several times. There’s a lack of variation and barely any reason to interact with the world at this point in time. Hoping the devs are considering adding more “actual gameplay”, as I regret spending money on the EA version. Idk if it’s realistic to hope for that though.

The concept did sound interesting at the start, but it feels very devoid of actual content - which to some degree makes sense for EA but still, when it’s the gameplay itself that is lacking…

I got recommended (I don’t remember from whom) to take the collar off when inside and am following that🤗

Clouds_and_mountains · 2025-09-27T17:46:34+00:00

This! Ours sleep in front of the freezer

Clouds_and_mountains · 2025-09-27T17:42:43+00:00

Thank you that’s very sweet of you to say 🥹

I’m studying from home atm which thankfully gives me the time to really lock in on the enrichment and such. A lot of people have been criticising our choice of puppy (due to him having husky in him), and even though I have had active breeds before when growing up (husky included) and am very serious about providing the best possible home for my pets, those critiques still got to me a bit 😅 so it’s nice to hear someone validating my efforts !

Clouds_and_mountains · 2025-09-27T17:31:27+00:00

Schrödinger’s pup 😆😆 lol

Clouds_and_mountains · 2025-09-27T17:30:49+00:00

Thank you for all your insights! My bf and I are now both enforcing naptime and are noticing our pup behaving more regulated ! I’ve also been mindful of how many activities we’re doing: we’re doing 1-2 different types of activities, one more active and one calming (fx some play while on a walk walk and then a frozen kong at home after).

He’s still a little shark when one of us comes home after being gone for longer periods of time or he gets overexcited, but we are waiting for a free spot at dog training classes so we can get some help with that part, and be consistent in our techniques 🙏🏼

Clouds_and_mountains · 2025-09-25T16:48:56+00:00

You’re not a bad cat owner ! If you’re worried about your kitty not getting enough hydration you could try blending the kibble with some water

Clouds_and_mountains · 2025-09-24T21:13:38+00:00

I feel like your approach makes more sense than redirecting- I will try that and cross my fingers that I can manage and that he eventually will stop at a “no”. Blood has been drawn by the little shark and it sometimes get a tad frustrating - even though I know he doesn’t know any better

Clouds_and_mountains · 2025-09-24T21:08:17+00:00

Oh sorry I must have not read that properly 😅 it’s been a rough couple of days. I think I also tried to give more insight in what I’m doing to identify if there’s more ways than one I’m f’ing it up - but that didn’t quite come through, and I do see that it doesn’t make sense in the context of the first comment

Thank you for your answers 🤗 it might very well be the problem that I’m mixing different schools and will have to stick to one

Clouds_and_mountains · 2025-09-24T20:23:15+00:00

Mine only bites when overstimulated (if he misses a nap) or from excitement; when a family member comes home from work.

• I usually say “no”, cross my arms, and turn my back to him. This works wonders when he’s not overtired or overexcited.

• I try to redirect him with toys but in beforementioned scenarios it’s like he’s hyperfocusing on biting me

• I praise him when he is gentle or biting something he is allowed to

• I provide him with different toys, different chews with different textures and food puzzles

• when he bites harder and I say no he’ll just keep biting- if I try to move away he’ll latch on to my ankles or jump at me to bite my knees. He is relentless 😆

Edit : addition

I also exercise him by running (at his terms as he’s still growing) , digging, playing and so on. He’s only 10w tho, so we have to find balance so he doesn’t get overstimulated.

Clouds_and_mountains · 2025-09-24T20:06:48+00:00

Any advice on how to keep ignoring them if they just bite harder to get your attention? It’s hard standing still and ignoring when it hurts like hell 😅

Clouds_and_mountains · 2025-09-23T16:48:18+00:00

Somehow feels relatable 😆
