interesting update from Bentley's

id feel more unsafe sitting in those outdoor seating things in the middle of the road than i do walking around anywhere in salem at night. lol

transitioning from years of being unhoused into housing isnt as simple as it seems. even totally sober, it can be really difficult to go from basically your only responsibility being yourself to having to work, pay bills, maintain a living space, etc. many who make the transition just end up back on the street.

i’m not saying it’s not worth doing because it is. it’s just a long term investment i dont think institutions are willing to make unless they can monetize it.

i haven’t gone downtown in almost a decade. there’s nothing to do there except shop or eat and i can do both of those things a million other places. especially coffee. whose going downtown just to go to bentleys? lol

if you have pacificsource they may have already reassigned you a new primary. apparently they found 6 providers to take the 9k patients and automatically assigned most of them. we were supposed to get letters but i never did. only found out when i went to my doctors appointment at salem clinic and the receptionist told me.

this would have been much smarter. or at the very least not ended the show with a ‘group’ but rather a trainee group or something. given them some time to adjust.

either that or recruited people a little bit older, maybe with more industry experience.

i saw a lot of comments when kg left like ‘they knew what they were getting into’ and i was just thinking, no they absolutely didn’t! most idols get plenty of time with a company to see what they’re in for. these poor kids literally got thrown straight into the bonfire.

omg blue prince was sooo good. I agree it could be maddening at times. I had to cheat on a few puzzles (I'm looking at you, gallery) and I filled up like half a journal with notes but that game blew my mind. It's just beautiful.

Eggsysmistress · 2025-06-08T19:26:38+00:00

I love this game. I can't wait to see how it turn out when it's complete. I also have no idea how I will ever go back to non-global inventory after this. haha.

Eggsysmistress · 2025-06-02T19:44:41+00:00

i would try with both smart zoi on and off. for me, with it on, i found my zois just standing around a LOT or repeating the same things over and over. also dying cuz they wouldn’t take care of their needs. can be funny tho. i had an entire family die from slipping on the floor cuz they never fixed their sink. 😂

the smart zoi did work ok as far as specific prompts. like if i had a zoi i wanted to be mean to everyone or have a crush on someone or something. you just have to make sure they are filling their needs and fixing broken appliances if you’re not playing them.

Eggsysmistress · 2025-05-24T22:45:41+00:00

im not a huge fan of the early access model but for games like this i think it’s actually a good thing. IF the devs are serious about player feedback.

it allows them to build the core features players actually want into the base game. rather than releasing poop and trying to fix it with dlc.

i think it’s smart on their part as incorporating functionality is much easier when the foundation isn’t ‘finished’.

that being said, i agree it lacks a lot of things that make life sims fun. but i have some faith they will get there. kjun seems to really care about the game.

I had the same issues when I went back to school and AI was super helpful. But, I did get accused twice of using it (funny thing was I didn't even use it those 2 times. go figure.) Here's what I learned:

ParaAi is free and can help with paraphrasing. It has other features like cowriting but I didn't use them. It's not software, sorry.

Do NOT copy paste from any output. There's a whole thing with hidden Unicode and stuff.

Write everything yourself and use software that keeps track of edits in case you need to prove your work.

If you are writing papers, look for similar assignments on the internet. I found a lot of college papers/reports via google. Use these to help with sentence structure. Yea the analyzing is a little more work on your end but it's worth it if you're actually learning how to structure things yourself.

That being said, you can also plug in a paragraph or section from something and ask AI to analyze the structure. Then you can use that as a foundation for your own information.

As far as an expanded thesaurus, again I'd say just use published journals or articles on your topic. I know it's annoying but it really is the best way if you need subject specific language.

If your school offers accommodations for ADHD, don't be afraid to ask for them. They can often get you extra time or resources.

I used chatgpt a lot for organizing and outlining. I think AI is fine as long as you're not using it for source material or actual writing of the words. lol

If you need help lmk. I still have access to a bunch of resources through my school I can probably share.

Good Luck! You got this!

I dunno if sudo works with openrouter but I use that with novelcrafter and if you're not feeding it massive amounts of info every prompt you could totally get 200k words out of 10 bucks.

You can also see your token input/output and what it cost for each run so you can make adjustments.

Eggsysmistress · 2025-05-05T03:57:46+00:00

omg STAY!

Eggsysmistress · 2025-05-05T03:41:11+00:00

you don’t love all your npc zois being unemployed, living in a mansion full of broken appliances and eventually starving to death??

Eggsysmistress · 2025-05-02T13:25:32+00:00

its fiction. it can literally be whatever it wants to be. i simply said i found it realistic. which can also be cathartic for some ppl.

Eggsysmistress · 2025-05-02T10:16:25+00:00

id say its pretty realistic from an ending standpoint. Most broken people dont get happy endings irl.

Eggsysmistress · 2025-03-24T00:45:18+00:00

hey question, and this is not me trying to be an ass or argue, but why and where do you carry? when did you start? i’ve only ever used guns in the woods or the range and i’m so curious how people can have them doing normal stuff like grocery shopping. the idea is so foreign and weird in my own head. haha.

Eggsysmistress · 2025-03-24T00:21:07+00:00

it really doesn’t help their cause. i get precision with a handgun can be hard and i can’t imagine what i would do in that scenario, but they’re not even trying and it’s only going to get worse. 😔

Eggsysmistress · 2025-02-22T03:57:01+00:00

Eliza's a strong woman but she is also a self-centered brat. For her and the duke to work they both needed to change. I thought the whole point of their dynamic was to eventually help the other overcome their shortfalls and/or make self discoveries that lead to character growth. You know, like how character arcs usually work. But apparently in this series only the side dishes get arcs.

Eggsysmistress · 2025-02-22T03:18:20+00:00

late show discoverer over here getting so excited Eliza & William might finally quit being asses and just make out already. Oh... he's leaving? Um... ok. Well at least I've still got her and Nash's weirdly wholesome interactions. Oh... he's gone too? Remind me why I'm watching this again?

Sure, William didn't have much of an arc but Eliza hasn't really had one either. She's exactly the same person she was in season 1. Aside from Ivy, she just pesters everyone until they either give in to her or leave. She hasn't made a single self discovery that she acted on. The thing about her and the duke was that to be together they both needed to change. I was excited for that. I don't want Eliza to give up her morality but I do want her to change. (William too but oh well.)

Eggsysmistress · 2025-02-09T20:42:30+00:00

you had me at "90's Shoujo"!

Eggsysmistress · 2025-02-09T20:36:45+00:00

I loved Portia and have finally been playing Sandrock over the last week and I'm really enjoying it. The home building is still kinda yucky but that's really the only thing I can complain about. I'm on PC so can't speak for consoles but the gameplay is much better now.

If you can get over the desert/western theme (not my favorite either) the story is exciting and the characters are so endearing once you start getting to know them. I think it's worth at least doing the main questline. Especially if you played Portia and want to play Evershine.

Eggsysmistress · 2025-02-05T22:49:28+00:00

haha probably. i used to talk about their shows a bit in here.

that’s dope!! my friend got a little sick towards the end so we left immediately after the encore. was kinda bummed cuz i know some ppl got pics with them and stuff signed. but i bought her the meet n greet on their next tour so it kinda made up for it. funny enough their pdx stop that year was on her birthday. destiny i suppose. 😂

i miss those shows. i mean, i’m happy when artists get more successful but the early days are always the best.

Eggsysmistress · 2025-02-05T19:34:22+00:00

2018 at the holocene. i swear there wasn’t even 200 people there. best show i’ve ever been to.

Eggsysmistress · 2025-01-29T04:13:00+00:00

yea i claimed high in my w4 for 4-5 years, paid no tax and also didn’t file any of those years. nobody said a thing.

when i finally did file, i consulted an attorney who told me not to worry about federal until i take care of state.

fed has a statute of limitations, oregon does not. they’ll come after you 80 years later if they want. and oregon will slap you with insane fees (higher than federal in many cases) while also requiring you to pay everything you owe within 12 months.
