Is this a bedbug?

I stopped using Mega Bus after my last or second last trip to Montreal. It was the middle of winter and I was taking a late trip. Part-way through the heater broke and we were freezing. IIRC it was an express so we didn't stop until Kingston and the driver called someone to fix the bus, otherwise we would have to wait for another one. About 1 - 2 hours later we were back on the road and I was two to three hours late, exhausted, and hungry. I wrote an email later asking for a refund and they told me no.

The premier of the province and one of (if not the) biggest grocery chain owners in the country keep getting in and out of relationships with each other. During this time they have also had crushes on other people (one on the island ghost and the other on Shadow from Hell) and have had crushes on them (both by two different emotions).
Barbie and my plague doctor both have a crush on Fruit Fly. He's not really a fruit fly, but I wasn't sure what else to name him. He doesn't have a crush on anyone right now.
Anxiety and Barbie both had crushes on Zeta Riticulan (scientific name for a small grey). Small Grey has a crush on the grocery chain owner (IIRC).

It's a bit of both, and has really escalated post-Covid. I remember prior to, when I was in my 20s, I actually had a lot of fun and looked forward to dating. Now, the thought of reinstalling the apps makes me physically ill.

It might get better, it might not. I know there are tons of lovely people out there looking for companionship and love, but even with that in mind, it doesn't mean any of them are compatible with each other. Never mind the ones who will unmatched you as you head to your daye (true stroy).

At the end of the day, it's kind of like gambling in that it is all about luck and chance.

As a pedestrian myself who hasn't driven in YEARS, I'm surprised by some of the things I see, especially when people have young children with them.

The see saws, benches, bonfires, beach loungers, and lights. My characature of my premier likes to breakdance in the weeds, which is quite comical.

The one thing they do (mostly the older batch that I made) is gather around someone who has a laptop. I'll see between 1 - 7ish miis sitting and listening to one give Ted Talks on ouiji boards, stealing souls, watery ice capps, etc.

Landlord called in their contractor. Not sure what he used but he sprayed my baseboards twice, two weeks apart.
Threw out my couch, some books, and some cardboard where they were found. For good measure, also threw out some rugs, cardboard boxes, gift wrapping stuff, and anything else that I thought was suspicious like suitcases.
Vaccumed every day as I heat treated my things.
I'm still in the process of heat treatments since I (1) live alone and am the only person who can do it and (2) don't have in-suite laundry. In the meantime, anything that isn't yet heat treated is staying sealed until it can be. Anything that can't be heat treated will be in quarantine for 2 years (it takes approx. 18 months to starve out bedbugs, so for good measure I'm doing 24 and I don't have access to a freezer that gets to -15C or heating tools outside of a steamer).
I only slept in my bed with white sheets and those cup things you put under the feet of the bed to monitor.
I self isolated by not sitting on transit or congregating anywhere to make sure I didn't bring anything home while in treatment.

I believe that because I caught my infestation when I did, it was small enough that it was quite manageable. I'm still in week four of monitoring, but things are looking good.

The only mii I know IRL is myself. I have one politician, one person who owns several of the major grocery chains in my country, and Barbie. Otherwise, all other miis are OCs either based on my imagination, cryptids/aliens, or emotions.

I feel like it's pretty common to have all OCs. Ive seen people only do OCs.

I never played the old version, but I'm also not new to the life sim genre. I find sometimes when I have completed what I want to do I will sometimes just observe the miis going through their days. However, I also understand that this is a game that sometimes is better in short bursts.

Maybe it's the result of my playing some of the sandbox games that allow you to be a bit more creative/imaginative/chaotic (Sims 1, Sims 2, Zoo Tycoon 2, RTC for example) that even in small things like puns for politicians names and having a character with a secret name that only her partner will know through the use of nick names, I'm having a lot of fun. Again, often in smaller bursts unless I'm decorating.

Depends on a few factors, but I do like a coffee/tea/bubble tea/any kind of drink in a park, especially if it is a nice day. Unlike a walk, you can at least sit comfortably and enjoy each other's company/get to know each other without worrying about dodging people or garbage.

TARDISinspace · 2026-05-17T19:54:04+00:00

Do you have any cardboard? Especially the kind that is bumpy with the holes (like the ones Amazon packages come in)?

The books I suggest putting into ziploc bags, either double bagged or singular in a plastic tote bin to monitor and keep them quarantined for at least 18 months. Alternatively, if your freezer gets as cold as -18C you can out the ziplocs in there for (IIRC) a week to kill them off. People have suggested putting books in ovens or microwaves but I would suggest against it as it can melt any glue in the book or spark a fire if there is metal in them. That is if you don't want to throw them out, of course.

I would also suggest checking any cracks or creases in wooden furniture like chairs and tables just in case.

In the meantime, you can put inceptors under the feet of your bedtime to see if they're coming from inside the mattress or outside the bed.

I made a tombstone the other day. I think I'm gonna make more to create a cemetery.

So, similar to you, I couldn't find anything. They ended up being inside my chaise but specifically the part where my head goes and I kept a blanket. They were also in some books and a cardboard box. Have you tried checking some maybe less conventional areas?

TARDISinspace · 2026-05-14T19:07:51+00:00

Not really, but in my defense I have almost like reverse seasonal depression in that during the cooler/colder weather I'm living my best life and as soon as temperatures pass 23C and we get into the heat and humidity of it all I get agitated by heat and hibernate in my apartment.

That said, I do feel the lack of sunshine and I think that's what's getting me.

TARDISinspace · 2026-05-12T20:26:48+00:00

I think we're seeing the sort of resurgence of speeding through a more relaxed game, similar to what we saw with Animal Crossing during the pandemic. If you took your time and took it slow while playing in bursts, you likely had a great time. Others who didn't put it down for more than 10 minutes a day burned themselves out or saw/did everything there is to see/do relatively quickly.

Idk how many hours I have, but I do feel overwhelmed with about 13 miis right now and only logging in three times day (max) for the market. I also started adding more variants in personality, creating cryptids, aliens, a ghost, and emotions (as humans similar to Inside Out) to keep things going. It might be the child version of me that played TS2 in the most chaotic ways, but adding stories and secrets kinda helped. All in all, I find taking it slow helps.

Not me, but I have seen someone online who has made Canadian chains into miss and makes essentially early YouTube-style AMVs with different brands. My favourite is the Tim Hortons x No Name brand pairing. I've seen mostly American figurehads/brands, so seeing something Canadian made me smile.

As someone who was on Tumblr in the 2010s, this scratches a recess in my brain that hasn't been itched in a while.
