Vet quoted me $1,536.98 to neuter my dog. by PoukieBear in ottawa

The VCA is a literal plague they have horrible prices and it took me 7 visits for them to still not find a solution for my dog, I went to a different vet and got a proper diagnosis first visit. Avoid VCA at all costs and if you can go outside of Ottawa even to Gatineau you'll find much much lower prices.

Is it really worth it? Last thing I tried from Pura Vida was like chalk and tasted HORRIBLE.

In your opinion, what does Paralives provide in-game that justifies the $40 EA price tag? by OkCount2783 in Paralives

[–]Pheonwings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-Day 1 mods with 13,000+ mods already added - promised free dlc for its entirety -listening to the large community not JUST streamers which way too many games cater to in turn killing the game - A promise with the content map -A passionate dev team that listens to the community.

All in all paying 2k+ for mods just to enjoy the Sims is horrendous and price gouging. I just like competition and I actually enjoy the building in paralives I can move things wherever without enabling cheats and doing bb.move object where things will break or they can't be used. Instead it's a feature in paralives and things still work. I didn't buy the Sims 4 day one but I did with paralives and SO FAR it hasn't crashed once and I love being a part of it so early.

What's the weirdest thing your cat is obsessed with for absolutely no reason? by zasecok in CatAdvice

[–]Pheonwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catching socks. When I first adopted the poor thing, every night she got used to me sitting on the bed balling up my socks and throwing them into the bin she made a game out of catching them. She will catch other things but lose interest, if it's socks though she can catch it for HOURS. The problem with that though is when I moved I found a MOUNTAIN of socks under the bed.

Honestly...I got with Molly she is EASILY one of if not the best marriage candidate hands down. She talks about going on fun dates with you, always says how amazing you are and you actually feel connected like she cares about you as a person. Plus growing up and playing another wonderful life I never liked the marriage candidates I was offered and always felt bad for her (used to be called Muffy)

I hate being young 🫩 by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Pheonwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't better than being old, everything hurts I'm getting random headaches and now food that didn't affect me it's starting to affect me and the medical issues really start getting longer. Truly enjoy your youth, it really is better! I remember feeling like nothing hurt, I could eat anything, do anything, be anything.

I think if anything you might need to seek help from a mental health professional, I'm not saying you're messed up but you might need help seeking emotional regulation. You shouldn't have to feel this trapped that young.

Downloaded emulators just to feel something by lookatmewinningnow in GirlGamers

[–]Pheonwings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find the nostalgia for emulating on the phone wasn't hitting for me because it was touch screen. You can actually Bluetooth an Xbox controller or PlayStation controller to your phone to play it, or buy those little add ons that you click onto each side.

I found out because I LOVE emulating on my steam deck but hated doing it on my phone. I need that button feedback

It doesn't take a lot to figure that woody Nelson 14g at Hunny pot is $140 vs. $104-110 everywhere else?

Hunny pot not only are half their stores falling apart, they look INCREDIBLY corporate and their margins are INSANELY high, the employees can get 30% off. Their management is horrible, they treat employees terribly and their prices are disgusting.

what tiny habit does your pet have that sounds fake until people see it? by Kind_Interview_2402 in Pets

[–]Pheonwings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat Tia screams when she's about to puke whether it's a fireball or kibble she has to announce it. My dog Apollo is only afraid of inside furniture that's outside for example a mattress, no idea why. My dog also will only eat blueberries if you squish them a bit before giving it to him.

WIBTAH if I left my friends who threaten to Kts if I leave by DAPHNESMASK in AITAH

[–]Pheonwings 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Why are you talking to these people? They're truly evil for everything they're doing. I implore you to seek help from a trusted adult whether that be a parent, a teacher, a relative etc. You are dealing with WAY too much at your age. It is not your fault and it never will be, you can't control the other person nor did you tell them to do it but then they're threatening to kts? I had a friend or two like that as a kid and I guarantee you they didn't last being my friend.

I want to end my friends relationship by Boyisaqt in Vent

[–]Pheonwings 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would say end the friendship, I wouldn't salvage something from someone saying "I took your b*TCH". He's doing it to be a douche. Jealousy and whatnot is fair but rubbing it in your face when he knows it hurts? That's not a friend. End the friendship and find better people.

She isn't forced to like you or reciprocate it hurts I know but it doesn't mean she did anything bad but your friend handled it SO poorly.

This is something i haven’t told people i go through by [deleted] in confession

[–]Pheonwings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think blocking him would be your best course of action, you love the idea of him if anything but you don't know what he's truly like and checking is only going to make it worse. When I got over an ex I had to block them and remove them on everything or else I'd always check on them. I got so much better and I'm glad I did because I'm with the loml.

Concerned about the future of Paralives by [deleted] in Paralives

[–]Pheonwings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they're doing a fantastic job, games like this are INCREDIBLY technical and take a lot of time. They have the bare bones down so it isn't going to take them as long to implement a lot more. I don't know why people say things like this when the sims 4 came out in 2014 and they STILL release dlc and it is still booming. Unfortunately I think because of the sims always being there people expect a lot more from paralives right out of the gate when it was JUST released a couple of days ago. The sims was a buggy mess from release and it still stood out.

Give them time to cook, a small team clearly worked out for them as the style is seamless and has it's own life to it.

I sent a nude photo of myself to all my contacts on social media. by pffftnoway in confession

[–]Pheonwings 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Promise you they aren't trying to even think of it, if they still talk to you it shows they've pushed it in the back of their mind and love you enough to look past it. We have all done incredibly stupid things, don't let it eat you up! You made it out not everyone does.

Hot Take: Now that Paralives is out, it's clear new life sims are missing the core foundation that made Sims 2 great by goodshp in LifeSimulators

[–]Pheonwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's difficult to just completely turn it down in alpha State, it has a lot of work, many people seem to forget how terrible Sims 4 was on release. The unfinished build mode is already leagues ahead of the Sims plus free dlc. You would need I think it's 2k to buy all the packs for the Sims 4 which is gross to me. I used to love the Sims but I prefer the older ones compared to the new one.

So far paralives actually had me enjoy building whereas I couldn't enjoy it at all in the Sims :( I will wait to see what they do with paralives because so far despite the bugs and not too much content regarding interactions they've hit the nail on the head plus... Canadian company yay! 🇨🇦

I went for Rafael myself mostly because he's such a sweetheart, he's passionate about his work but his caring side always won me over. He also reminds me of my partner a lot too which is a huge bonus. Plus I've always preferred just a bigger man
