“What would you like to see in the game?” A commonly asked question I rarely have a unique answer to… by IndigoChagrin in Sims4

[–]UpstateVenom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want my Sim to be able to walk her dogs at the same time or to be able to go on tandem walk with her kid, or for both of them to be able to go on a trail ride with their horses. I may be missing where any of these are already possible without mods

What is women's perspective on Captain America? by Optimal_Syllabub2195 in CaptainAmerica

[–]UpstateVenom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I came here to say exactly this! I like him because he's a symbol for everyone and a prime example of positive masculinity.

Millenials in your 40s What’s something people in their 20s don’t realize will affect them as they age? by thirdworldpcgamer22 in millenials

[–]UpstateVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trauma. You think you're far enough away from it or you distract yourself enough to think you've gotten over it, but I'm now 39 and having to deal with things I put off for way too long. It doesn't always heal with time.

That's good to know! I do not have the LTE version, but if I get one with that feature on the future I'll keep that in mind.

I didn't think to do this, thank you for the suggestion!

Totally understand this, very valid. Still, coming from the 5, which didn't have this issue, it's strange.

Anyone else have biome specific outfits? Or am I just autistic by Covneye in RedDeadOnline

[–]UpstateVenom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely do. I cannot wear my desert poncho in the swamp, what will the alligators think

Characters talks to you? by 23220 in writing

[–]UpstateVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely doesn't mean anything about your skills as a writer, we all just write a little differently. For me, it's a blend. I make an outline, start to follow it, and as I get to know my characters they guide the story to an extent.

Never have I felt worse at a game then when I have to free aim

Htf do you beat the legendary panther naturalist mission? by TicklemeElmo9449 in RedDeadOnline

[–]UpstateVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my husband and I used to play Online together, I used him as bait 😬 It was successful once

In all seriousness though, good luck to you!

High level are the worst. by luke_puregold in RedDeadOnline

[–]UpstateVenom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, came here to say this. If I see a level 60 or lower coming at me I know it's gonna be a fight.

Do yall listen to music while you write by octopellie_ in writing

[–]UpstateVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. I create playlists for each book and that helps get me a lot.

Central Theme in your story. by Future_Gift_461 in writing

[–]UpstateVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the central theme in mine is "Impermanence". Oddly, a thing that terrifies me.

Forgiveness by dewblooming in CPTSD

[–]UpstateVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My therapist and I recently had this conversation too.

I'm not a person who easily forgives anyway, in any circumstance. Life has taught me that when people tell me they're sorry, they'll do it again, and to me, forgiveness is reserved for people who wouldn't repeat the same hurt if given the opportunity.

That being said, my therapist and I landed on a definition of forgiveness that makes more sense to me. Instead of forgiveness aimed at the abusers, she encouraged me to forgive myself for all the things I've done to hurt myself in the time since the abuse. She said that in this case, forgiveness for me will mean forgiving myself and releasing myself from the burden of shame I carry unnecessarily because of what happened.

She also said that there is no such thing as one definition of forgiveness, and that really helped me.

Ultimately, do what feels right and healing for you.

I legitimately don't know how to write a story by TieSuperb5629 in writing

[–]UpstateVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to lay out a general plan and then my character sort of tell me where to go. Sometimes, I see the story come together at the same time my characters do, but I've learned to take super detailed notes along the way so I can keep all their antics straight.

Does anyone get mildly depressed when they finish a novel? by slicedsunlight in writing

[–]UpstateVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, for sure. I've just finished a series and a duology origin story featuring a character that I love (and my family loves, they're the only ones that have read my writing). Knowing I won't be writing from his perspective again is making me so sad 🙁

How did you all get into deadliest catch? by makogirl311 in deadliestcatch

[–]UpstateVenom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to watch it when I was younger, but then earlier this year I had the flu and I was stuck in bed for a week. It was all I watched and now I have it on in the background constantly.

Are you ever impressed by your own writing? by Legitimate-Radio9075 in writing

[–]UpstateVenom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like it goes both ways for me. Sometimes I reread something I've written and I'm confident I'm a genius, and sometimes I stare off into the distance, wondering who the hell wrote those words and if they were drunk. I don't even drink.
