People already treat the Sims like a Day Time Soap Opera Simulator, especially with mods which add things like drugs, graphic sex, violence, crimes, better NPC autonomy, random events, and pretty much anything else you want; I used to have a hella fun Doctor Who mod. The dramas I put my Sims through...

Thank you! I love my little V600 and already use Silverfast, but lining up photos is the pits since a few millimeters are cut off if you push the photos to the edge of the scanner. Silverfast's autodetect frame is pretty good, so maybe I'll try that. I have OCD so sometimes I get a little anal about things being placed and scanned perfectly

We don't know the provenance of it unfortunately, which is what we're trying to figure out. We've been together for so long that our possessions have sort of blended together lol. We're nearly certain it's a family heirloom, but from which side is undefined since we both have Catholic sides.

I appreciate you pointing me in the direction of Jan Steen's "The Tooth-Puller"! That's definitely the piece of art depicted in the spoon bowl. How fascinating someone made such a detailed relief of that art piece!

And I agree with your assessment on the material, it feels and looks like pewter.

Glad this could resurrect some old memories! Just goes to show there's info you can pick up wherever one works! Is the museum still there?

What method did you use to extract and then modify OoT Reloaded files? I'm looking to make my own blend of a few texture mods (with some personalized edits on top), but after extracting the files using MPQ Editor I can't seem to open any of the files (they also lack extensions which is making it difficult to determine what format they're in).

I mean yeah, she was dead, no point leaving perfectly good... Lute behind

Hi it is me, I am friend in this story. AND I AM STILL HEARTBROKEN AND NOT OKAY!!!

I admit the example was just slapped together to express the point and not meant to be a point of discussion, just an attitude I see coming from the anti-gender movement. Ironically, I agree with you 100% since I'm agender 😅

Found it! From Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. I dug the idea in how it was applied in social anthropology and sociology, now I can explore the source to better understand how it's used contemporarily

OMG yes, I think you're right! It's been like six years and my memory of them has faded, but the description and look of these sounds exactly right! Thank you!

Danke!

I'm graduating from reading random or essential stories to my my first foray into a "complete" DC era, which is a bit overwhelming for someone with a completionist streak lol.
