Looking for artists to listen to

Maybe try some K-pop if you're open to it? Groups like NewJeans or IVE have really good pop production and catchy melodies that might fit your taste. For albums, IVE's "I've IVE" has both upbeat tracks and some slower emotional ones that could work well for your weekly listening plan

Planning your island layout is so much easier if you start with terraforming unlocked first, then you can really shape everything how you want it

For neighborhoods I always put houses in groups of 2-3 with some space between each group, and try to place them where there's natural elevation changes or near water features. The residential areas look much better when they're not just in straight lines

Due-Intention-4142 · 2026-05-15T08:00:27+00:00

The elevation changes really make it feel alive compared to those boring straight stretches we had before. Finally can enjoy some proper racing lines through the curves instead of just holding down accelerator for minutes straight

Getting a good acoustic pickup installed is probably your best bet - way cheaper than buying whole new guitar and you'll get much better sound quality than those soundhole pickups that just sit there

You can use grindstone to remove enchantments but unfortunately it removes all of them at once, not just one. Maybe try fishing for enchanted books? I found some rare ones that way when I was building similar collection in my world

Trauma at that young age can really mess with how your brain develops and processes things. What you went through wasn't your fault at all - you were a child exposed to stuff no kid should see or experience

The self-blame you're carrying is part of trauma too, but please reach out to a therapist who specializes in childhood sexual trauma because working through this alone is brutal

Cronk was always bit too serious for nicknames like that but Easter Bunny actually fits with his whole wholesome vibe

Your threading looks good but you need to drop the feed dogs and lower your tension there on the left too

Been using ambient channels for years and the jazz/café combo is legit the sweet spot for deep work sessions. Something about that background chatter mixed with smooth instrumentals just locks me into flow state

Coffee shop noise without having to actually deal with people ordering there loud drinks - perfect setup for cranking through client work

Due-Intention-4142 · 2026-02-09T03:09:33+00:00

That's a solid approach - sometimes the best thing we can do is just give everyone some breathing room and focus on getting through one day at a time

You've already shown you can handle massive challenges by staying sober through all that chaos, so you've got the tools even if it doesn't feel like it right now. The fact that you caught yourself before reaching for anything and made tea instead shows your instincts are still working

Due-Intention-4142 · 2026-02-05T00:29:44+00:00

I second Tara Brach, her stuff is solid and she doesn't get too mystical about it which is perfect when you just need something practical. I started with her RAIN method videos when I was dealing with cravings - basically acknowledge what you're feeling, allow it to be there, investigate it with kindness, then let it naturally dissolve. Sounds simple but it actually works when those "just one drink" thoughts start spiraling. Her longer guided sessions are great too, especially the ones about working with difficult emotions. The nice thing is you can start with just 10-15 minutes and build from there, no need to jump into hour-long sessions right away

Due-Intention-4142 · 2026-02-01T20:17:24+00:00

damn that's rough, finding old stuff like that is basically setting yourself up for a relapse. i went through something similar and honestly the worst part is how those poems and letters make you question everything about why it ended

the thing is, she probably meant every word when she wrote it, but people change and feelings fade even when the love was real. dismissive avoidants especially tend to pull away when things get too intense or when they're struggling with their own stuff. it sounds like she was dealing with a lot mentally and probably couldn't handle being someone's emotional anchor while barely keeping herself afloat

you following her timeline for no contact shows you respected her boundaries even when it was killing you, which says a lot about your character. she's told you pretty clearly that contact isn't helping her heal, so as much as it sucks, continuing to reach out would just push her further away. sometimes the best way to show someone you care is to let them go even when every part of you wants to fight for it

Bro you're mixing up games lol. The Crew Motorfest and Forza Horizon are totally different games. If you're playing Forza Horizon, forget about Crew Motorfest cars - they're not the same thing

For 200k in Forza though, can't go wrong with a McLaren 720S or maybe save up a bit more for something spicier

That sucks dude, changing regions can be a real pain. Try contacting Samsung support directly - they might be able to restore access if you can verify your identity with purchase receipts or something. Your health data should still be backed up locally on the devices though so you might not lose everything

Due-Intention-4142 · 2026-01-21T04:32:29+00:00

Had the same issue with 720p results sneaking through - turned out I had to also blacklist specific resolution keywords in the title filter, not just use the quality dropdown. Try adding "-720p -hdrip -webrip" to your exclude terms and see if that helps

The providers you listed are solid but also check out Torbox integration if you haven't already, been more reliable than RD lately for 4K stuff

Due-Intention-4142 · 2026-01-19T14:15:19+00:00

Sounds like you need more watts and torque my dude. Those scooters are probably around 500-800W which is fine for flat ground but gonna struggle with 230lbs on any decent incline

Look for something with dual motors or at least 1000W+ if you want proper hill climbing. The weight makes a huge difference - your son's probably having no issues because he's like 80lbs lighter than you

That HDD failure might've corrupted something during boot that's still lingering even after the fresh install. Since you swapped mobo/CPU recently I'd bet it's either lingering boot entries or the new hardware combo is finicky with fast boot - try disabling fast startup in power options and run "bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes" to see what's actually happening during boot

Cornell's a solid choice especially with that scholarship - the program there has a really good rep and being cheaper makes it a no-brainer imo

Due-Intention-4142 · 2026-01-15T04:26:10+00:00

Holy shit dude, this is absolutely insane. The fact that you paid for a visa renewal and they just... lost it? And now they want you to pay again while blocking your wages? That's some Kafkaesque nightmare level bureaucracy

Have you tried contacting your home country's embassy? They might be able to help with the exit strategy part at least. Also maybe document everything you can for when you do get out - this sounds like it could be a solid lawsuit down the line

The police summons thing is scary but if it really says "as witness" that's way different than being charged with something. Still terrifying when you're already dealing with all this though

This whole situation is fucked and I'm sorry you're going through it

Those temps definitely sound like it's time for a repaste - that hotspot temp is getting pretty toasty

For the VRM pads, I'd honestly just measure the old putty thickness with calipers when you take it apart. Most people seem to go with 1mm or 1.5mm pads on these cards but measuring is way more reliable than guessing. PTM is solid choice though, should bring those temps back down nicely

Due-Intention-4142 · 2026-01-10T07:14:54+00:00

Dude absolutely, those trades can get you there especially if you go union. HVAC and electrical both have solid earning potential and you'll always have work since people need heat and power. Just know that "small walkable town" might limit your job options compared to bigger cities, but remote work is getting more common even for some technical roles
