Dang. Been a while since I used this website... So ummm...hi again Tumblr!!
Actually thinking about maybe writing a short review/thoughts on sort of thing for the Samsung Galaxy S20 phone. I had to switch phones when my Pixel 3 died and ended up with this. I was so uncertain that I would like it though, cause I never really liked Samsung devices much in the past. So, yeah, feels like this could be a good place for that sort of stuff maybe?

Pokémon Drawing Challenge
I’ve started drawing quite a bit and I’ve given myself a challenge of drawing 30 randomly selected Pokémon. Today I just drew Pokémon #9: Marshadow. I’ve been having a lot of fun drawing these guys! And you can see that even over 9 drawings I’ve improved quite a bit. Drawing is relaxing to me so I’m happy I’ve gotten into it more.
Everything was drawn using Clip Studio Paint and a Wacom (except Marshadow which was drawn on the iPad version of CSP). Really love that software!
Android 8.0 Oreo
I downloaded and installed Oreo onto my Pixel and I absolutely love it! I've gotten close to 5 hours of screen on time which is 1 more hours than what I could get with Nougat. The notification shade looks absolutely GORGEOUS. The settings are much simpler and less cluttered. I'm loving the new long press shortcuts design (Pixel only I believe). I also have been enjoying the granular notifications (impatiently waiting for Facebook to use them). The autofill is cool since it works with my password manager (although I haven't gotten many chances to use it...). And lastly, the BEST part...EMOJIS!!! It's like the dumbest thing ever but I love getting new emojis!! The redesign actually looks really good for the most part and I'm excited about some of the new emojis that were added with the latest version of Unicode (I think that's what it's called?). I actually manually checked which ones were new (in the categories I care about).
So yeah lots of improvements and I'm sure there's plenty more I haven't discovered yet! So here's to diving even deeper into Oreo and seeing what wonders it holds ❤️.
Let’s get SPLATTING!!
Got the Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl amiibo for Splatoon2 when I was on a small vacation in Sherbrooke/Lac Brompton. So this photo is taken using my sister’s Canon 80D camera with a 50mm portrait lens (this is what she told me anyways). These are placed on the railing around the cottage house balcony and there’s bushes and trees and whatnot behind them. I think this turned out really well!!
Camera: Canon EOS 80D
Settings: 1/160 shutter speed, f/4.5 aperture, 50mm lens
Check out my new amiibo buddies!! These are such cool looking amiibo!! Nintendo did a great job with these.
This is the cutest and most corny app for long-distance couples
Okay, so there’s this app called “Couple” in the app store. ((I think it may have been called “Pair” as well, but I’ve got the AT&T version.)) Let me tell you about this cute little motherfucking app.
Okay, so you have this icon
Not all that impressive, but still cute nonetheless.
Then you open it up, get yourself and your adorable-as-fuck significant other registered with an email and password. You get “paired” and have this little facebook chat sort of thing that only the two of you are able to see.
Oh, hey, and what’s this little thing?
Yeah. There’s this button you can press to gently tell your S.O. that they’re on your mind without having to say much more. How fucking cute is that?
Alright, so you’ve got a wall you two can share. Now there are other little features too such as a place you can draw on the same screen damn near to real-time.
And then you can take that shitty little drawing you created together and post it up on that wall so neither of you will forget how crappy phone screens are to draw with, but damn if that isn’t cute.
Lastly, you have the thumb kiss. Now this feature is unique because no matter where you are in the world, you can use this app and know that you’re both doing the same stupid thing and giggling like an idiot all the while. With a thumb kiss, you press your finger to the screen and your S.O.’s will show up once they do the same.
Then once they get close and/or touching, the screen changes a little
And after a second of touching, the screen turns red and vibrates to signify your “kiss.”
And if that’s not the cutest shit that a dumb little app on your probably-a-piece-of-crap-phone can offer, then you need to get out of my face and go try this app because it’s totally free and will have you smiling for a week.

Rebloging for all my followers out there with long distance relationships… This could help so much!
Also for anyone in a relationship who just want to feel closer whenever they’re apart.

@foolish-idiot @luciferhimshelf *brow wiggles*
This isn't bad and it was awesome when they were still updating it. Without the updates lots of things are breaking. I used to use this all the time with my boyfriend.
Man though you know what makes me sorta sad is when nerdy, “quiet” kids latch on to me during camp and they just talk and talk and talk about a thing they’re into (Skyrim, Pokemon, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, dinosaurs, whatever). And I see the kids just light up when they say something and I can chime in with an ‘oh hey, are you talking about [x]? I love that thing! Tell me more about it.’
Like, their parents will warn me ‘so-and-so is pretty quiet and hard to engage’ but no, man, just listen, your kid is so smart and so into This Thing, they’ll engage like fuck and talk your damn ear off it you let them. Frame it in their damn terms. Or! Just! Listen to them about their Thing! And they will engage with the rest of the material! Because they know you care about them! Amazing!!!
Quiet kids are usually that way because either no one listens, or there is always someone more dominant speaking wise in their group that always talks over them and then they give up. Some quiet kids are starved for attention and really really want to talk, but don’t always get the chance to
Everyone who reblogged this are good people. Bless you, this made me happy to read
Sims 3 VS Sims 4
So the SIms 3 and the Sims 4 are both the same and totally different. The general idea is the same (you control virtual people and work to make their lives great or miserable) but the play style and mechanics are completely different.
I’ve been thinking about the two games and their strengths and weakness for a couple of days now. I actually watched @tamashiihiroka playing the Sims 3 on her Twitch channel and it really got me thinking about the two games. I played the Sims 4 almost immediately after (my Sims 3 game was not installed on my laptop at that time) and so many things became really obvious to me.
First off the Sims 3 has this amazing open world where every other sim is living their own life in parallel to your own sims. You have full control over your family members at all times and you can manage them as little or as much as you like. Their actions are highly influenced by the traits you give them and if they’re left on their own they can create their own stories. However the routing is terrible (literally cannot move if there is a plate on the ground blocking the way) and the relationships feel very shallow if you will. Lots of public areas will also be rather void of other sims when you get there because the game has to see which sims are available since they all live lives of their own (although less complex).
The Sims 4 on the other hand loses this big open world and you can’t micromanage your family when only one sim leaves the lot/loaded neighborhood. The other sims appear to be living their own lives but really they are mostly just there and living when in the loaded area. The traits don’t influence them quite as much as one might hope, they always put their needs before any other action. Also the emotions system doesn’t play as big of a role as advertised. On the upside the routing in this game is fantastic! Sometimes there will be awkward clipping as sims squeeze past each other but OMG they can squeeze past each other!! No more jams in the doorway or lineups at the staircase. The relationships have a lot of depth (at least to me) and they feel more meaningful with the two relationship bars. You can really create stories instead of just leading lives. Everywhere you go there will be other sims for you to interact with, you will never arrive on a lot, in a neighborhood that is empty. Yes there are loading screens but really, in the end, it doesn’t really take much more time than waiting for your sims to walk/run/drive/bike to their destination.
So in this sense the games are very different. Family play and building a multi-generational family are big parts of the Sims 3 experience, the Sims 4 is a lot more focused on story telling and each individual sim in my experience. However with a recent update with toddlers it looks like they are really trying to add to the family experience. Sure the Sims 4 was off to a rocky start, there were no pools and no toddlers and you had loading screens and no cars. Everyone complained that it was like taking a step back in time. That’s not really true though. The Sims 4 is just a different experience. It’s brought a lot of stuff to the table. Multitasking is one thing I can’t see myself playing without now that I have it. The amount of depth to the relationships that exists even without you doing anything is lovely to see. Sims are aware of others around them, just yesterday I was playing and noticed my sim would often turn her head as she walked past someone. At a party one of the guests was crying in my closet and one of sims autonomously went to comfort them. These are they experiences I’ve loved. I do miss the open world, I miss being able to manage family members back home as well as those who were out and about.
Honestly the Sims 4 is not a step back, at least in my opinion, not anymore anyways. With everything that’s been added over the past like 2 years or something, it’s become a great experience. It’s just a different direction. I hope that in the future (like 3 years from now when they announce the Sims 5) the best features of both games will come together. I miss having 5 traits to really define my sim’s personality, I miss always knowing what my sims are up to and being able to guide them every step of the way, but I love the relationships and expressiveness of the new sims. I love the better routing system and building system and sim creation. So for those who have tried the Sims 4 and disliked it, maybe it’s just because you need those experiences that only the Sims 3 can offer and those who refuse to go back to the Sims 3 are in love with the new experience. Then there are others like me who can’t really decide. I’m sure I can’t be the only one who would love to see both games combine to become the ultimate Sims game. In the end no one is right or wrong about these games, we’re just different people looking for different things from the game series we all love so much. Really, all of us are right, because whether a game is good or bad, fun or boring, it really comes down to the players to decide. The Sims community seems to have decided that both the Sims 3 and the Sims 4 are games that to this day are great, just not for the same people.
I think that’s pretty much everything I wanted to say on the topic, I know it was long so thank you for reading this far! I hope it was interesting for some. I really just needed to get this off my chest and out of my mind. Happy simming to everyone (or whatever else you might play).
New Year's phone theme! Bring on 2017!

Fossil Q Wander
I got the Fossil Q Wander for myself since it's currently on sale in Canada for Boxing Day. I also got a Fossil silicon bad for women in a turquoise-ish colour with silver clasp. The watch I got is the silver with metal band. So far it's been really great! Only downside is there's some ghosting when scrolling through the watchface selection. Everything else has been working great. It's very reactive and the edges of the display work all the time, unlike the Moto 360 2nd gen. It looks lovely too and is much lighter and slightly smaller than the Moto 360 2nd gen. The screen is nice and bright (I can't tell if there's a light sensor though...). I've had no issues with the always in display either and battery life seems like it'll be fine for a whole day (hard to say since I got it last night and today isn't over yet). The metal band is actually very comfy and the people at the Fossil store were kind enough to adjust it for me as well as change the clasp on the silicon strap from rose gold to silver for me. I went with silver since it matches my phone (I'm such a girl, I know). Also cause lately I've been really into silver devices for some reason *shrug*. The silver is very nice looking. The button on the side really does look like a tradition crown that can be turned but it doesn't, it's really just a button. The watch looks enough like a regular watch though. When I showed it to my mom she thought it was a normal watch. Vibration works good, not to sharp or too soft. If I'm really focused on something I won't notice it but quite frankly when that happens I don't notice much. It doesn't bother me either when it does vibrate. I haven't figured out how to call using the watch speaker and microphone yet though. I have to look that up. Overall I'm happy I got it even though it's not the world's best display and it has that "flat tyre" display. It's just right for me and that's what counts. It's not for everyone but for a girl with a smaller wrist it's the perfect smartwatch (it's not like I'm watching videos or looking at photos on here after all). I'll post some photos at some other point in time.
Personally, I’m still trying to figure out how $12/hr is considered “competitive pay”???? ????
(I could not make this shit up)
My apartment has windows facing the street, meaning I can hear pretty much everything that happens on the sidewalk beneath them. And this morning, just as my side of the street was getting the cars cleared for street cleaning, I heard some dude outside go, “C’mon, I just want your number, is that so much to ask? You’re so pretty, you know?”
Well, in light of recent conversations, I was like RED ALERT, and bustled my nosy butt outside to see what was up. Sure enough, a guy in his mid-to-late thirties had stopped his car, gotten out, and was now following a girl down the street. And when I say a girl, I mean a teenager.
Now, I’m brave and stuff, but this guy had shown himself willing to go so far outside the socially acceptable boundaries of behavior that I was pretty sure if I called him on this he wouldn’t take it well, and I was weighing my options when, like an angel of mercy and goodness, a parking enforcement officer came rolling up and she got out. First she saw me and was like, “Is this your car?”
And I was like, “It belongs to that guy down the street hassling that girl.”
And bless this woman’s heart, she gave this great eyebrow and was like, “EXCUSE ME SIR, UNLESS YOU WANT A $75 TICKET I SUGGEST YOU MOVE.”
I will give him credit for balls of steel, because he actually said, “Hold on one minute, I’m talking to my friend,” which, NOPE.
Fortunately the officer is like, “Sure, I’ll wait a minute, and in the meantime I’ll be writing you this ticket.”
So the dude goes grumbling back to his car, and of course he can’t park it anywhere nearby, so he drives off. In the meantime, I ask the girl if she wants to come inside for a minute to make sure the dude left, which she did, and sure enough DUDE CIRCLED AROUND THE BLOCK LOOKING FOR HER (I watched him while the girl was inside getting acquainted with my dog) before taking off. The girl is 18, she didn’t know the guy, and the whole time I was driving her to her brother’s house she kept trying to figure out what she’d done wrong.
