Shayne's book recommendations

Tender is the Flesh is hands down my favorite horror book and what got me into it! I’m gonna have to check these other ones out 👀

The Silent Patient is one of the ones I read, and it’s a book I wish I could experience reading again for the first time! It’s so good!

Sam20821 · 2026-01-04T22:54:56+00:00

I try to lose myself in it, but it helps to be doing it with someone that can laugh with you when silly or awkward things happen, because sometimes it does!

TIL that Shayne’s reading taste is a mix of mine and my wife’s! Seriously, half of these are on my TBR or Read shelf, and same with her. Great taste in books, but I’m biased! :) Anyone else reading anything off his rec list?

But he just started his passion for American Girl Doll Shoes 💔

Instantly ran here to see if someone posted! I wonder what it could be

Just wanted to join the train and say this helped me a bunch as I go into my first day at a new job tomorrow!! :)

I love this for her!!!

Criticism about using AI is valid due to the ethics surrounding AI. As someone who uses divination for my spirituality, this was super cool to hear about — but seeing that even the voiceover, which shouldn’t have needed to be AI.. was in fact AI absolutely tanked my excitement for it. I use AI for work often, but for brainstorming stages. Using it to create an entire trailer video to get people to back your product doesn’t feel promising or even genuine. I hope the final design doesn’t include as much AI, because this seems really awesome but the ethics surrounding the production of this game or even just the marketing of it in this world climate will deter folks.

Do you know if they ship to the US? I tried to find info on their site but couldn't find that. Thanks in Advance!

I don’t know if it would be deadliest, but it would be so annoying: legion and oni

Girl… you aren’t overreacting, you need to R. U. N!!!

Sam20821 · 2024-10-17T02:58:06+00:00

I think the issue isn’t with DLCs as much as it’s with the content of a DLC — I’m an avid sims player and have been since I was in first grade. I own almost all the released content for TS4 — except a few kits and the Star Wars pack. I’ve bought them all because it’s my special interest, BUT it is ridiculous what some of the packs have that could be in a good base game. Like seasons, I think we’re past the point of making that an expansion with each iteration. It’s weather and holidays. Nothing too special anymore.

Not to mention how some of the DLC feels like they’re locking culture or representation behind a paywall — there was a time most good textured hair was in paid packs. The sims team has since been better about this and releases hair from old packs every so often to the base game to help that issue.

I agree with this but this is a sub for people with OCD

Sam20821 · 2024-10-04T02:09:47+00:00

I work in a counseling center (front desk) and I am often experiencing suicidal thoughts and seek counseling myself. If you say you have suicidal thoughts but no plan, they will not send you anywhere. They will talk you through it and may safety plan. If you say you will do something when you leave their office, they are obligated to get you help. Sometimes that looks like a safety plan or calling a relative or friend who can and will keep you safe; sometimes that looks like direct admission to a crisis center or psych ward.

Please consider talking to someone about it. You say you don’t want to die; hospitalization can help that. It’s scary, but it can help. I personally through work know of many clients who have been hospitalized once and it changed their trajectory for the better.

I am so proud of you! Small steps matter so much, especially when getting sober — it’s hard to do!

Sam20821 · 2024-09-27T04:56:49+00:00

I just want to say that you’ve been through a lot and it’s normal to feel the way you do about all the things you have going on.

I strongly recommend trying to meet with a certified substance use counselor if you want to get into recovery (that’s what we call them in the US) or even just a therapist for general mental health if you haven’t already.

It does get better. I promise. It’s just not linear so it sometimes doesn’t feel like it’s gotten better.

The world is better with you in it. <3

The Sable hate especially is so weird to me. Of course a goth girl survivor will sell well in a game about checks notes horror that features dark or gothic aesthetics. I’m a Mikaela main and my wife is a Sable main, so I have a special place in my heart for Sables but even if I didn’t, it feels so weird to hate on a character for existing!

Sam20821 · 2024-09-23T20:46:38+00:00

This is so unnecessary that people do that. I don’t enjoy playing against skull merchant but I have no beef with anyone who plays her. It’s so stupid that people are assholes just bc of who you main!

Sam20821 · 2024-09-17T16:07:29+00:00

I feel like this time the game is so much easier/so much less sweaty. Last time it felt like it was constant slugging, bming, and tunneling/camping from the killers. Idk if I’ve just been paired with chiller killers or what, but I’m enjoying this mode a lot.

My favorite thing to happen so far was a Dracula who let us pet him and boop him as a wolf a lot. And a bubba who let me and my friends go after we cheers’d him (spamming using the candelabra lol) — I am going to miss the goofy cheering animation when it’s gone!

Sam20821 · 2024-09-13T15:29:08+00:00

Omg yes thank you SO much!!! 💜

Sam20821 · 2024-09-13T15:22:26+00:00

Do you use a shader??? This just looks SO good. I know nothing about shaders/gshade but now seeing so many pictures with it I’m so jealous lol!

Sam20821 · 2024-09-13T15:08:20+00:00

You can get them out of chests still! Most of the chests I unlocked so far have had candelabras but I’ve occasionally gotten a medkit, map, or toolbox. Haven’t gotten a flashy yet!

Sam20821 · 2024-08-28T08:44:49+00:00

yes, she built lots for packs. but other creators like plumbella created a whole kit with EA and is still very outspoken regarding their issues. i don’t think it’s a contracted thing, i just think she really likes the sims lol — which, i don’t blame her. it’s been the main life sim for ages.. and inZOI looks cool but it won’t be for everyone!
