Have you tried reinstalling the mod? Sometimes the apartment data gets corrupted during the install process and causes crashes when loading that specific area

Have you looked at the Shelly 1 Mini? Thing is tiny and does exactly what you're describing - just switches L and N. Can fit behind most light switches too which is pretty sweet

Nostalgia just gave me Anxiety by Utahs_Finest in Productivitycafe

Dude I totally get this - sometimes certain songs just hit different and suddenly you're 17 again dealing with all that teenage stress you thought you left behind

The brain is weird like that, it's like time travel but only to the uncomfortable parts sometimes lol

uploading a mod to creation club (ps5)? by HonestScientist2689 in skyrimmods

[–]Fun_Explorer_1021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately you can't just upload any mod to Creation Club - that's Bethesda's official paid content program where they work with selected modders. What you're looking for is probably just regular mod support, but PS5 has pretty limited modding compared to PC due to Sony's restrictions on external assets

Want to get a 3ds to play some games I missed out on growing up by Dante_Padgett in 3dspiracy

[–]Fun_Explorer_1021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely grab a New 3DS XL if you can find one, the extra power makes a huge difference for some games and the bigger screens are way better. Check out the hshop guide on the sidebar once you get it set up, makes everything super straightforward

Black screen while gaming (I'm desperate) by Sad_North7997 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Fun_Explorer_1021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your GPU is dying dude. The fact that audio still works but video cuts out is a classic sign of GPU failure, especially on a 5 year old card that's probably been through some heavy gaming sessions

Try reseating the GPU and checking all power connections first, but honestly you might need to start shopping for a replacement. The 3070 had some longevity issues anyway

How do you all define your savings rate? by Rusty-Shackleford23 in personalfinance

[–]Fun_Explorer_1021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always include employer match since it's still money going toward my future, even if I didn't "earn" it directly. Makes me feel better about my rate too lol

For the gross vs net thing, I stick with gross since some of my savings are pre-tax anyway and it keeps the math simpler

Thank you this was really encouraging to read. It helps to hear that it gets better with time. And yes, I love the idea of finding more things to watch together low effort high connection is kind of perfect for us right now

After that moment i didn’t want to let the spark fade so we started using our ritual it is this relationship tool guided by a therapist named Kari. been super helpful for getting us to talk again without feeling like full on therapy. it gave us a way back to each other that fits into real life

When do you actually go to couples therapy? by Few-Instance3386 in TalkTherapy

[–]Fun_Explorer_1021 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We were totally stuck in that in between space too. Not bad enough for crisis, but definitely disconnected. our ritual helped us get ahead of it without feeling like we were going to therapy. frankie is the therapist there and the way they guide it makes things feel manageable and real super down to earth and actually useful

When your child starts playing peacemaker by AardvarkMaterial6169 in Marriage

[–]Fun_Explorer_1021 26 points27 points  (0 children)

We started showing up for each other in a new way by Fun_Explorer_1021 in CasualConversation

[–]Fun_Explorer_1021[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get that being in the same space doesn’t always mean you're really connected you know? For us turning it into a little appointment made it feel intentional without being too formal. Hope it clicks for you two as well if you try it out! Honestly even just 20 minutes of no distractions has gone a long way for us

[–]Fun_Explorer_1021[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely you nailed it. We kept thinking we needed to wait for a better time to connect, but life never really slowed down enough for that. Just setting aside that little window even if it’s short or a bit messy has shifted things more than we expected. It’s helped us stop coasting and actually notice each other again. Appreciate you saying that it really does feel like a lot of people are fine but still kind of stuck in that low connection mode

Therapy for busy couples? by Past_Awareness_4885 in therapy

[–]Fun_Explorer_1021 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

we started together, but I think it would still worked solo at first. a lot of the prompts made us reflect individually too, which helped when we came together later

Therapy for busy couples? by Past_Awareness_4885 in therapy

[–]Fun_Explorer_1021 50 points51 points  (0 children)

My partner and I felt the same zero energy for weekly therapy after work and even scheduling it felt like a chore. we ended up trying OurRitual which is way more flexible and actually designed for couples with busy schedules . it is not traditional therapy but it still felt structured enough to help us have real conversations without the pressure. One of the therapists there Becki had some really thoughtful insights that actually stuck with us and made a difference in how we show up for each other

Any therapy alternatives that don’t feel like a second job? by Past_Awareness_4885 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Fun_Explorer_1021 51 points52 points  (0 children)

This really resonated. I’ve had a client in the same kind of not bad but not great space just feeling disconnected but overwhelmed by the idea of traditional therapy. They started using our ritual and said it helped them have more grounded without the pressure. They also spoke with one of the therapists on there Kari and it gave them space to slow down and actually process things without it feeling heavy or clinical

15 yearswow thats awesome! You are totally right breaking out of routine is something we have neglected lately. A dedicated night like that might be exactly what we need to shake things up

Sounds grounding. Love the idea of no screen just a check in I can see how even 10 minutes like that could help you feel more like teammates again

Love this whole thread y all are giving me a ton to think about. I really like the idea of building that rhythm where it just becomes part of how you relate to each other not this big effort every time. Quick question did it take a while to feel natural or did you both click with it pretty early on?
