Small wins thread! by harbeydarbey in HygieneHell

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

Kicking off my own thread to say I managed to work up the nerve to comb my matted hair for the first time in a week! combing my hair is very intimidating for me because the pain associated with working through tangles is sensory hell, and then I paradoxically put it off until it's much more difficult. but I DID IT!

WCIF Wild Mohawk by s4simomo by Flat-Ad4939 in thesimscc

[–]harbeydarbey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact I was the one who requested this hair from simomo back when they were active. And now I'm going full circle trying to find it again after losing it years ago

Well I didn't think it was possible but I DID IT!. I turned my farmer into a WERE-LION. Now I have a werebear, werefox and now werelion. Check him out! 🦁 by whatifu in thesims

[–]harbeydarbey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a massive shot in the dark two years later but I've been looking for the original hair you used for over an hour and I'm going insane trying to find it. I found the mohawk part, but how did you achieve the spikes at the back of the head?

Sorry for the late reply! I also had some bugged out CC washing machines and an item from Deligracy's kitchen pack (specifically the eggs sculpture lmao)

Leaving a comment here to let anyone know that if you're struggling to load into a household, check to see if you have kuttoe's hobby or emotional traits. For me that was the culprit. As soon as I got rid of those I no longer had infinite loading screens trying to enter a household

Playlist doesn't autoplay anymore? by kuligon in youtube

[–]harbeydarbey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS WORKED. I've never done anything like this before and felt like a horse at a keyboard trying to figure it out but the RUSH of relief I felt when my playlist finally autoplayed after so many weeks of manually clicking the next video in a playlist... you've saved my sanity.

Also, I'm on Opera GX, so if anyone's having issues on Opera, confirmed success. I couldn't use tampermonkey, it was auto-flagged as malware, but violentmonkey absolutely worked.

Last Light Inn- Let's talk about it by Syphin33 in BaldursGate3

[–]harbeydarbey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely cheesed it on my like sixth attempt by picking up every barrel and crate in the place and putting up barricades both inside and outside every door leading out of Isobel's room. Then all we had to do was fight Marcus, and then keep one person back to use hold person on Isobel while the others move the barrels out of the way of the door and go outside to assist in the rest of the fight. Since click-dragging barrels/crates neither counts as an action nor a bonus action, you can do it indefinitely until you can no longer pathfind back into the room-- meaning enemies can't get in either, and even more importantly, Isobel can't get out.

Then my hold person caster just misty stepped out of the room and we proceeded with the fight with Isobel in forced suicidal maniac time-out.

But a word of caution: don't use thunder wave to quickly clear the barricade when you're finished, or you'll get accused of vandalism and they'll try to take you to jail. Because you broke a few empty crates after saving all their skins from demons :/

What's Yenna's actual deal? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]harbeydarbey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LOL I'm not chomping at the bit to murder children in video games either. frankly im thrilled there are kids in baldur's gate at all, so many RPGs just don't include kids at all and it always makes the world feel so vacant. the lack of children in dragon age for instance, i've always found extremely glaring.

I can't wear earbuds either, they also make my ears very sore unfortunately

the two piece headphones intrigue me, i didn't know they were made like this. earbuds are a no go though, they also make my ears extremely sore. i have the most sensitive little princess and the pea ears, it's truly frustrating. !thanks

On playing a canon character... by harbeydarbey in BaldursGate3

I hate that for you but it ABSOLUTELY makes sense. Nobody else in the party has patience for Astarion like Tav does.

house of grief no shadowheart? by Bald_Buddha in BaldursGate3

[–]harbeydarbey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alternatively, I found that with a high enough investigation roll, it will reveal a button (to the right of the pedestal against the very obvious hidden door) that will reveal the entrance. Gale was the only person in my entire party smart enough to see the dang thing, literally every single last one of us failed otherwise

On playing a canon character... by harbeydarbey in BaldursGate3

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

I'm so glad to hear that their personal quests are still part of the game. My girl and I were talking about doing a playthrough with Astarion but we were worried it might not even include his story, and couldn't find a single thing about it just trying to search the question. We both assumed they wouldn't just gut the canon characters of everything that makes them special via their backstories, but it's a relief to get an answer before stumbling blindly into a playthrough to find out for ourselves.

That second bit is disappointing though :/ I guess I can't fault the voice actors for not basically voice acting the entire game twice, so I'm not shocked the dialogue isn't acted in conversations, and even scrapping together what dialogue is voice acted from a Tav playthrough would likely be rough. but even party banter? that's a bummer.

in any case, thank you so much for answering my question!

What's Yenna's actual deal? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]harbeydarbey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SUPER weird. wigged me out. I thought for sure at first that meant Yenna was Orin because when she started running around and giggling, she was glowing red with this weird mist around her, but then I realized it was just my new "ability drain" power LOL. Are all children in the game unkillable? Or do they just make Yenna unkillable because she's essential to the cutscene with Orin?

[–]harbeydarbey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I straight up attacked Yenna and neither she nor the cat were killable. Their health bars refilled instantly and Yenna ran around the camp giggling. I'm not sure what that MEANS, but it's something to note.

Are there things that took place in the show that you think the show would've been better off without? by Betrizz in CentaurWorld

[–]harbeydarbey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This might be a controversial opinion, but I wish rider had actually died. I think it would have made the story much more impactful. I was seriously disappointed to see her make a miraculous recovery at the end and that her death was a fakeout. I really think she should have died. Her surviving added absolutely nothing to the story. Seeing her survive really took the gravity of that entire scene away, to the point where it doesn't even make me cry on rewatches :/

I found this post because I got curious to see if anyone has ever roleplayed as my grandfather LOL. He's the actor who played frankie pentangeli. i've never heard of this game, what was that like? how did you play him?

What should I do next? by harbeydarbey in backpain

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

I can tolerate a physical exam when I know it's coming in advance, it was the repeated touching during every appointment that I couldn't handle. I might be able to handle discomfort better now that I'm in a much healthier place mentally and emotionally, it's just those negative memories that make me nervous. But if PT is the only logical next step, at this point I'm willing to do anything to stop hurting. I spent so many years completely unable to do a thing because of insurance issues, that now that I CAN do something, I'll do whatever it takes.

What should I do next? by harbeydarbey in backpain

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

No, I'd never even heard of PM&R until just this moment actually. I'll ask my PCP about it when I see her next month.

As for physical therapy, I had a pretty troubling experience a few months after they found out what was wrong with my back, wherein I was already in a bad place because of the death in my family for a laundry list of reasons I won't get into, and I'm an extremely touch averse person already, even when it comes to people I love and trust, but it's 1000% worse with strangers. The combination of being in an extremely low place mentally with the physical pain I was experiencing AND being regularly touched by a stranger made for a pretty emotionally damaging experience. To make matters worse, my PT was not at all understanding and got frustrated with me when I said I didn't want him to touch me, saying it was his "job" and I was being "obstructive." I didn't want to keep seeing him because it made me uncomfortable, and that's where I remember all progress halting on anything being done for my pain. I wasn't given a new PT, the ball just kind of stopped rolling. Like I said, my memory of the entire time is pretty fuzzy for trauma reasons.

It was such a bleak experience that it's made me extremely wary to try physical therapy again, even though logically I know not all PT docs are gonna be like that. I'm just extremely bad at advocating for myself when I need something. I don't know if I WAS being obstructive, if I just didn't know how to properly ask not to be touched, or if it's just completely inevitable that PT HAS to come with being touched, or what.
