I need a few suggestions for miis to make for chilling on my Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream island.

The theme for my island is all evil/villainous characters or people.

The one hard rule is none of the miis can be living persons, I may make exceptions for people I know irl but that's a conversation to have with them not the internet. lmao That said, I have a very poor grasp of modern media figures so if you suggest a character that didn't exist 15+ years ago I will probably do a head tilt and blink vacantly for a moment before running to google.

I'm not against having new faces on the island, and hell you may even trick me into watching your favorite show, so throw anyone ya want at me! 8D

ANYWAY here is a video of Samara from the Ring and Voldemort being pals

Tomodachi Life: Evil Island Returns!

When the first tomodachi life came out I made an island that was populated by my friends, family aaaaand real and fictional horrible people/entities. We had Hitler, we had Pol Pot, we had Slenderman....

So guess what I am doing with the NEW Tomodachi life? Yes, the exact same thing, I just haven't added any monstrous real humans. If I do start adding real evil people on this island I am absolutely only gonna add people who are already dead irl. Because currently-living-and-fucking-up-the-universe people don't deserve to possibly date Mothman on a fake island they will never know exists.

Yet again I find myself being frustrated with online game guides. Not because I can't find the information I want, but because the information isn't organized the way I want it to be so I have like a billion tabs open to grab various bits of information that are related to each other but often put into separate section in online guides.

Woe is me and my doofus brain.

Today is a big day

My hands, destroyer of game controllers.

i posted a bit ago about wanting to take pictures of the way my favorite controller has been worn down by my playing games... I didn't realize at the time that I have only had this controller for just under 4 years. I ordered it in late February of 2022 and here we are in early February of 2026, and I have some photos to share.

Generic view of the whole controller shows the places my thumbs have worn of the paint in the areas I rest my thumbs when I am not using them to push buttons. I find it interesting that despite the fact that I could put my thumbs in essentially the same positions of empty space on either side, but I don't.

The D-pad has a lot of wear on the lower left quarter and it's almost impossible to see from looking at it from above, and even these oblique angles don't show it as much as I'd like.

Can you uh... can you tell which trigger button I use more? All of the back of the controller had texture bumps, all of the bumps on the areas my palms cover are completely polished off. The trigger and bumpers only still have as much texture to see because they have more angles to hide from my fingers and palms.

And now for my favorite photos in this post... the joysticks.

The joystick I use to move my character (L-stick, top photo) has been worn down to expose quite a bit of the bare underlying plastic, AND there is a DENT IN THE STEM from it hitting the outer ring and that is WILD to me.

The camera stick (R-stick, bottom photo) is less worn, but there is some of the plastic starting to peek through, and it has a scuffed stem.

AANY way I ordered some joystick caps and they arrived yesterday and it definitely feels different having them on. How long with they last against my caustic hands though? -cue sinister laughing-

[damies-emmerly]

I need to clean my controller and then take a bunch of photos of it so I can post here about how my hands DESTROY everything I love. 8'D

[damies-emmerly]

I was just complaining to myself that my PC desktop is too cluttered when I remembered what so many other people have going on with theirs and kinda shut myself up. It could be a billion times messier and still not be the messiest in the world. lmao

I had Frozen pop up on my radar again recently and it's got me welling on my friend who hates that it wasn't true to The Snow Queen story by Hans Christian Anderson, which is a story she loves and thus Frozen is stupid for being based on it, but not true to it. She does like the movie but she can't forgive that particular sin that the movie creators apparently committed. The thing is, which I remind her of often, is that every time I see text about the movie being related to The Snow Queen it's phrased as "inspired by" not "based on" which is a HUGE difference in meaning.

To me, based on means it would need to follow some of the original story line, while inspired by means they saw lady with snow powers and thought "that's neato lets expand on that but in a possibly wildly different way!" I always say this as soon as she starts her rant before it really gets past the first line of "but it's not accurate to the original work..." Words choice and reading comprehension are important!

I hate my blue eyes.

Going outside in summer is often super painful for my eyes and overcast days hurt, snow hurts, bodies of water reflecting sunlight hurts, white sand hurts, pale concrete hurts. EVERYTHING FUCKING HURTS.

What a delightful Victorian in Easton, PA. 5bds, 2ba, 2,088sqft, $399,900.

This is a sun room before you enter the sitting room.

Cozy sitting room. I would say that the mantel is original.

There's a large dining room with double doors to the kitchen. Sadly, the fireplaces have been blocked off and they apparently put the heat returns in them.

The renovated kitchen is nice, but a little too modern for me. Look at the service stairs.

The sunporch is so pretty.

Cute full bath on the first floor.

You can take the stairs in the living room or kitchen to get to the upstairs bedrooms.

This room makes a nice home office.

The primary bedroom is quite spacious.

Pretty secondary bedroom.

The 2nd bath.

Here's where both stairs come up.

They made a large closet/dressing room.

There are several rooms in the attic, all finished.

The beautiful garden.

Through the arbor.

There's a cute garden shed and a garage on a 3,354sqft lot.

Fun lil note: Minimum wage in PA is only $7.25 an hour, and the mortgage payments on this house would be over 2k a month. A single full time income every moth at that wage would only make $1,160 even two people working full time at that wage would not be able to make those payments AND have money for bare minimum living expenses. So you would need to have a job with double the minimum wage just to cover the mortgage if it was just you. Obviously for people who are up for it you could rent out some of the rooms but that's a whole other can of worms that my anxiety would rather my head exploded than deal with renting out any space.

thinking about kuri cattle again...

From the time I pre-ordered Rune Factory 4 in 2012 to now I had never actually fully "beaten" the game. As of last night at about 2am I finally did it in Rune Factory 4: Special on my switch. And I would probably still be fartin' around, plot paralyzed by my not wanting to craft a solid weapon, and Ragnarok slapping me around like a rag doll..... if I hadn't won the Sharance Maze Lottery and got these bad boys.

So, ya know, FINALLY.

thought too hard about MRI machines today and had this come to me in a vision

[beesmygod]

mri accident is literally one of my biggest anxiety freakouts. i dont care about being in the tiny loud tube, im so scared of a secret piece of metal i dont know about in my body will tear through me like a knife through butter. what if i ate a quarter in my sleep

[neutral-wizard]

Quarters George who eats a $10 roll of quarters every night is shredded into a fine mist my the MRI

TIME TO POST ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE IMAGES!!!!

Back when I worked at the hospital, I had to take MRI training and it was my favorite thing every time. It was only like 10 minutes long and went a little something like this:

Hey. The MRI is basically a really big magnet and by basically I mean it is and we literally never turn it off. It's like really big. Really really big and powerful and The Magnet is always on. We don't turn it off Ever, for any reason. We mean it bro, The Magnet is literally always on. It's crazy strong and will definitely kill you. So don't bring any metal into the MRI room, man. You will fuck up the machine (because The Magnet is always on) and then you will die (again, because The Magnet is always on). Here's some fun questions for you to test your understanding!

1) The ______ is always on.

2) The Magnet is ______ on.

3) How often is The Magnet on?

4) The Magnet is always __.

5) The Magnet is always on. T/F

6) The Magnet is usually on but we know to turn it off for you because you're a very special boy :) T/F

7) My weak fleshy body can survive the wrath of The Magnet. T/F

8) Look at this 500 lbs steel hospital bed, which The Magnet has crumpled into an origami crane. Imagine if that was you.

9) Is The Magnet ever off?

10) Sometimes we turn The Magnet off. T/F

Thank you for taking MRI training. We hope you learned that The Magnet is always on, because it is. It's on Right Now and it will be on every time you come to the MRI. Have fun and remember: The Magnet is always on!

I love you MRI training. The Magnet is always on.

@thebutter

[thebutter]

it costs half a million dollars to turn off the magnet, therefore The Magnet is always on.

I have to get MRIs every 2 years and every single time I get in there and have 5 minutes of panic because I can't visually check my fingers to make sure I took my rings off and am waiting for them to be torn off my hands. (I checked 15 times between the dressing room and getting in the machine)(it doesn't help what if I was wrong)

And now, ever since learning off the buttplug rocket, I'm also afraid that I'll somehow have accidentally inserted a butt plug with a steel core (I do not own a butt plug) and it's going to rearrange my organs for me.

[damies-emmerly]

I was in the ER recently (gall stones, nothing to crazy) and it got me to thinking about MRIs and how I had never heard about MRI related incidents until the last like 5-ish years and now I am being bombarded with MRI shenanigans on all the websites I visit and I'm like... my phone totally heard me say the thing and now I am cursed. That said I saw a post about nurses having to grind off someone false nails because they had a magnetic nail polish on and the attitude was "Better safe than sorry" and now I am scared for my fingernails if I wear "metallic" polishes. At least mine will come off with acetone and would be an easy removal. lmao I also learned that surgical steel is non-magnetic. Which makes sense but I had to google it to be sure anyway.

I am frustrated by the lack of WRITTEN guides for Rune Factory 4's gear upgrading system. My dumb ass now wants to write one myself, But I don't understand it well enough to write one and I am not sure I want to let myself dive into the obsession that will result if I decide to actually write one. Or Is my google-fu broken on this issue and there are good written guides that I just can't find?
