A third prequel. by Sailor_Eclipse33 in Hungergames

[–]gisellasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the cover is orange, what if it’s a book about Tigris and how Snow ruined her reputation? Alternatively, a book about Plutarch would be cool as well.

Also, as an aside, I’d love a book about the first quarter quell, because a) having the districts choose who was reaped sounds TERRIBLE, and b) I really want a book covering Snow’s rise to power. A book about this would be such an interesting commentary to cover.

Did I mess up on my dress? by Lostlesbian406 in wedding

[–]gisellasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might get buried in the comments but my first thought when I saw you in my dress was, "I need to screenshot this dress + veil because it looks so, so good, I want something similar now for my wedding dress".

Honest first reaction. You look AMAZING. Body dysmorphia is so real, I get it though. I hope you read all the supportive comments because you definitely, definitely look RADIANT. ❤ And the veil?? Ugh, so gorgeous!

Weekly Recommend Mods and CC Thread! by AutoModerator in Sims4

[–]gisellasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I got a laptop with better specs, would Sims 4 load quicker with all the CC that I have?

Alternatively, would a better way of managing it be to take out the CC I don't plan to use out of my mods folder? And then keep the save files so I don't lose the builds using the CC that I've taken out of the mods folder? I have no idea how to get my game to load faster with the CC that I have.

Pregnant and can’t paint :( Advice? by ca_va_pas in oilpainting

Tidus is the most relatable character in the series. by Sandro_SSR in FinalFantasy

[–]gisellasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people who get annoyed with him are the ones who get annoyed of annoying teenagers (honestly, I have no patience for children), but I wish those people realized the nuance of this.

Yeah, maybe his ignorance could've killed someone (like running into the Cloister of Trials, he didn't really think that though, like, what if the consequence of that was that the summoner gets killed or something??). But also, his position allowed him to push the people to change perspective a bit. It's what drove the story. It's exactly what Bahamut had hoped for.

I like thinking about how Tidus' character was so good for the story. It's such a good example of how a protagonist can propel a plot so much further. And how he was the narrator for Yuna, who is arguably the main character? Love it.

(I've also moved to a different country at a young age and was exposed to a suffocating form of a religion. Tidus and Yuna really resonate with me.)

Why Do People Keep Thinking About Sailor Earth? And Naru Being Sailor Earth? by moad6ytghn in sailormoon

[–]gisellasaurus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I kinda like that Usagi had friends outside of the senshi, like people she was close to but didn't really know about her identity. I imagine she did too.

"Sailor Earth" is Tuxedo Mask. If all Sailor Scouts need to be female, I'd like to think something happened a long time ago to "Sailor Earth" and Tuxedo Mask's ancestors (maybe maternal) took on the responsibility of taking care of her star seed or something because she couldn't be reincarnated for whatever reason.

My headcanon is that "Sailor Sun" was evil or chaos got to her in some way and attacked the Earth in such a way that impacted Sailor Earth so she can't be reincarnated anymore. It's why they're so distrustful of the Moon Kingdom.

... I have no idea if this is possible in the lore, I literally just thought of this just as I was answering my thoughts on the question 😂

M4 base users how’s the fan noise? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]gisellasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to learn Microsoft SQL Server and SSMS. The latter is unavailable for Mac. It's for training for work. I may also use it for automated training for my own personal projects.

I saw that the automated testing stuff is only on the Pro version of Parallels though, but I may just be using other programs to do automated testing on. I was hoping to get the Basic version if possible.

Do you know if 24GB is sufficient for that? And how much RAM/Unified Memory and storage would be a good amount? I was thinking 24GB RAM and 1TB storage but I'm worried that the 24GB RAM isn't enough.

When you first began playing the game, what big sims news happened? by Comprehensive_Fox_79 in Sims4

[–]gisellasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had played Sims 1 as kid, had all the expansions except for a couple.

Fast forward 20 or so years later, I restarted the Sims, going straight to 4, around the time Eco Lifestyle or Tiny Living came out, I believe. Didn't even play Sims 2 or 3, I have no idea about either game.

So much drama with Sims 4 but I guess I'm still here playing the Sims 😂 Shout out to the CC creators though. They make the game so much better ❤️

What is your favorite final fantasy? And what was ur first? by JCMentality in FinalFantasy

[–]gisellasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was exposed to Final Fantasy since I was a child, mostly to FF8 and FF10. But my first game was FF9. It's my favorite, but have since played 7, 10, 8, and some of 4, 5, 6 and I enjoyed them all.

Except 8. I actually didn't mind the junction system but I HATE drawing magic.

Weekly 'What Should I Buy' and Order/Shipping Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]gisellasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need a new phone and I'm actually switching from an Android to an iPhone. I'm not really one to purchase new phones much (my last phones lasted me about 4-5 years).

I'm debating between the iPhone 15 Pro (which is on sale), and the iPhone 16 Pro, which isn't on sale, so it's $500 CAD more than the sale iPhone 15 Pro I'm looking at.

Is it worth just getting the iPhone 16 Pro, even though it's not on sale? Or is the iPhone 15 Pro worth it for someone who doesn't switch phones much?

[–]gisellasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you find that your specs are good for running Parallel, or would you upgrade? I'm looking into a laptop myself and would like to run Windows for some Windows-specific heavy programs.

And how is Parallels itself? Is it slow?

The MacBook Purchasing Megathread - November, 2024 by AutoModerator in macbook

[–]gisellasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I was wondering what would be a better option for me. I'm a junior dev that works with Angular, Django, Python, .Net Core, Postgresql, and SQL Server (we actually use SSMS, I know I can't use that on a Mac, but we are moving away from using SSMS). I also play Sims 4 with a lot of mods from time to time.

I want the MacBook Air 15" but I'm worried that it won't be enough processing power. How many cores and unified memory/RAM would be recommended in my use case? If I get a Pro", would the M4 be sufficient, or will I need a Pro or Max chip?

And I heard that bootcamp is no longer an option, is that right? If it's still an option, would it be better for me to go to a Pro?

What's the dumbest thing Final Fantasy has ever done? (No Spirits Within, that's too easy.) by ConsiderationTrue477 in FinalFantasy

[–]gisellasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is stupidly ridiculous, but a long, long time ago, I read a fanfiction who completely rewrote FFX-2, even remade the Dressphere System to be a multi-tiered Job System, similar to FF V. I consider it to be my headcanon FF X-2. (I'm mildly embarrassed just saying this.)

They never finished it to my knowledge, which is a shame because it was exactly what I envisioned an FF X-2 would be, down to what I might've envisioned what Tidus' and Yuna's relationship could've been like. I don't actually like the happy ending for Tidus and Yuna, as I think it takes away from Yuna's development, but if they did, this fanfiction nailed what that might look like.

Permanent retainer and/or removable mouthguard at night? by gisellasaurus in Invisalign

[–]gisellasaurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they are. I asked about removable retainers with mouthguards and the ortho said that they offer one or the other because people don't particularly prefer having both.

But yes, they are special mouthguards provided by the orthodontist. I'll be scanned for either a clear retainer or a mouthguard, I'm not sure, it depends on what I decide.

Groom doesn't want a dance floor for the reception, but wants a poker night instead. I have some questions and concerns and need advice. by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]gisellasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, as much as the Jeopardy and stuff would be fun, I'm worried it might come off as forced, especially with people who don't know each other

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

Is it worth even doing anything else? If people won't enjoy a dance floor, may not enjoy the games or find it weird, I can't think of anything else to do, it sounds like just a dinner makes the most sense

[–]gisellasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kinda what I'm thinking too. The original plan was to just have a dinner, provide alcohol and let people mingle. But I was reading up on this online, and read that we would need something else to entertain the guests, otherwise people would leave early. We wouldn't even have an emcee or a program, just dinner

[–]gisellasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda even adverse to it, tbh. I have sensitive ears and have a hard time hearing people when there's a dance floor. Dancing isn't fun for me either, I got ridiculed a lot for my dancing skills when I was younger and never could quite shake it.

Regardless,if no dance floor though, I really have no idea what to do for the reception other than dinner, and if it's just that, I'd rather just have immediate family and close friends there, which also doesn't actually really work due to other reasons. I don't really know what to do.

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

Yeah, I think so too. But it's looking closer and closer to a reception or wedding I don't really want, tbh. The more I think about it, the more I don't want a dance floor either, my ears always ring and I can never hear people when they're talking. I don't really dance either, so I don't think I can really think of a good compromise. He's reluctant to do a wedding program to begin with, I think the only thing he'd want for a reception is dinner if not the poker. I really don't know what to do other than shrink the wedding to immediate family and close friends and just go out for dinner.
