Posted in Cleaned out the game closet-- Posted 5 years ago
huh, gamestop didnt do you dirty? thats surprising
everyone ive ever spoken to is dissatisfied with gamestop's trade-in values. theres a lot of shifty stuff going on when you get less than 50% back for returning a brand new game you played once for less than an hour

although i guess it works to cleanup and get rid of old games you dont want anymore

ah i love the feeling of having no bloatware

i always fear that my fps will drop due to bloatware haha, so i try to wipe my pc every month or so, but it still doesnt satisfy me the same way that having a new pc does :)

i met a coolgirl today and im kinda infatuated by her
Harlequin
★★★★✩
Fun item with nice pose. Also, the eyes are a major plus.
However, i rate 4/5 because I am not too fond of any color combinations.
I do appreciate that all the artists featured different color combinations though, to provide a nice mix.

Nifty Nurse
★★★★✩
The syringe is really awesome, and I like the detailed shading and transparency effect. The dress is cute too.
That being said, the lack of a unique arm/leg pose makes it a bit underwhelming. I feel like the item overall is a bit simplistic too, especially considering that the syringe covers most of the dress. I would have liked something a bit more grand and stately, as others have suggested in this thread too, some extra poses might amp it up.

Botanist
★★★★★
The item is awesome. Easily my favorite in this month's set.
I don't own the item so I can't speak to the skin tone poses, but from the previews alone it makes it seem like the colors of the clothes are locked to specific skin tones, which is a bit disappointing since I would like to use any of the colors. I would hope that each recolor offers multiple skin tones.

Another critique: the bird on the head pose is a bit underwhelming. When considering that only 2 poses can be used from any item, it seems like using the bird pose doesn't really represent the item overall and it is a really small pose that can go easily unnoticed. Everything else about the item is rather grand, but the bird is just really subtle. It can be a good thing in some situations, but overall just too simple for a pose i think. Adding leaves or even a nest could be a possible good idea. But again, the subtleness of the bird pose could actually prove to be beneficial. It's up to the beholder, I suppose.

Cybernetic Guard
★★★✩✩
you know, this item looks nice in synergy with all its poses, but as someone who owns this item, i find it difficult to use along with other items. i'm wearing it on my avi now and i think it works surprisingly well, so there is definitely potential.
however, most of my problem with the poses is that they are all "accessory" style items, such as bracelets, armbands, scarf, belt, mask.
it doesnt feel like a full themed item to me. the legs and mask are the only motifs that really hint at any sort of coherence in my opinion.


Final opinions
This is a nice set. Botanist is the highlight, and it really falls in well with the March season as we begin to approach Spring here in the West. Also, as a sidenote, I would be interested in seeing more eyes and face poses in items (in general). I think that everytime I see an eye pose, it usually looks really nice.
I think that including the hair & faces featured in the artist's drawings would help to amp up the items? I find that the fluffy hair works really well with the nurse item, so to remove it kind of takes away its potential.
Posted in i didn't want to be saved Posted 5 years ago
i don't know who you are, but you saved me that night when i overdosed
i didn't want to be saved

i can't remember anything and that scares the hell out of me. there's gaps in my memory about that night. the last thing i remember was lying on the carpet floor downstairs after swallowing more than 80 pills and an entire container of cough medicine.
there is nothing in this world which has ever scared me more than forgetting. so much vulnerability.

all i know is i woke up in the hospital with bruises on my arms and legs, with no explanation. the doctors refused to tell me anything because it was "confidential." they wouldnt even tell me about how i arrived. who were they protecting?? i was left with questions that would never have any answer, and to this day it still haunts me

i don't know who you are or how you found me or what even happened that night
and i won't say "thank you" because i didn't want to live anymore that night, and right now i find myself wishing that would have been the final end because again i dont want to live anymore

why do i keep getting saved? i just.......want it to be over

Posted in How do you guys get ready for a date? Posted 5 years ago
i usually have a "date outfit" which is a really cute outfit that looks good on me. i reserve it for special occasions like dates
it's casual. it's denim jeans with a forest green coat and my doc marten's. nothing overly fancy

i just try to do what makes me feel good
but y'know, sometimes things come up. and they will. so don't stress.


god, i just went on a first date like 4 weeks ago and my day started off SO AWFUL before the date. i fell off my skateboard into some berries and got juice all over my outfit. and then i missed my stop off the train and had a panic attack..
but i still did the date anyway ^^
don't let the little things get you down or eat away at you. just try to have a good time and "go with the flow" as they say
