so. I don't really talk about myself on here at all, because I don't like to get too personal on my gimmick/themed accounts, but I don't want anyone to think I stopped making posts from burnout because of anything going on in fandom or with the series itself.

the long story short of it is simply that since November I've been dealing with a seemingly endless string of family losses. Some more surprising than others. Things finally started to quiet down in May so I thought by June I'd be back to myself and get into things again. That did not happen.

The fact that I started this account in November kind of makes it a miracle I kept up with it at all in that time, considering. but I do need to get back into normal routine and that has cut into some of the free time I'd normally have for this, so I'll be adjusting accordingly.

Anyway! That's the context. I do still have many things planned, I think I'm going to take the month off and work on what I can to come back fresh in August or maybe September? We'll see. I want to be prepared with a decent backlog in the drafts so I'm not doing things last minute. I do also have a few songs posts in mind that I've mentioned, so hopefully those will be coming along by then too.

hellow, new update, for now this is gonna look a bit more like a random thoughts / gameplay simblr...

ts2 is running amazing on fedora 41 - i'm legit not getting ANY pink even with a full stress test of high lot imposters, a TON of high-poly cc, etc! LITERALLY my dream!

but, unfortunately, i haven't got simpe, milkshape, etc. to run yet. which i've been procrastinating for some time due to lack of tutorials but also laziness, i'm liking my new schedule and i can finally enjoy this game the way will wright intended 🩷

A FINAL UPDATE FOR MY PINK SOUP EXPERIMENTATION

at this point, i have tested sims 2 on the latest windows 11 on various other PCs in my house, with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. there's barely any difference. i still am experiencing major crashing and pink soup issues on systems with an RTX 3060, RX 580, GTX 1660 Ti, and of course my 7900 XTX. dxvk, new drivers, literally everything great minds like @osab and @brandinotbroke and many others have suggested has done nothing.

BUT!

at their suggestion, i tried Linux. Fedora 41 as i said above.

AND ALL MY PROBLEMS HAVE GONE AWAY.

other games are now running smoothly too with 0 errors and crashing; of course i don't have access to the same apps and ease of comfort as i did on windows, but hot damn, i can play sims 2! with and without cc! again!!

i am also not the only one, funnily enough! in our tests this massive pink flashing issue seems to affect not just my PC, but many others who have both NVIDIA or AMD graphics cards. the only link we have found... is windows 11.

with Linux it just all goes away!

so tl;dr;

IF YOU ARE HAVING PINK FLASHING ISSUES ON YOUR WINDOWS 11, IT IS LIKELY NOT YOUR PC, IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE LATEST WINDOWS UPDATE!

so do NOT go out buying yourself an RTX GPU or a new CPU, it is just NOT going to help! don't bother with trying to reinstall windows because literally it has done nothing for me.

our current theory is that something is screwed with the latest update. in directx, in texture memory allocation - literally do not know. all we know is that a different OS just - fixes it. literally and figuratively like magic.

if you're willing to learn how to install Linux and potentially a new SSD, go for it! hopefully in a few days me or someone else will have a tutorial out.

LONG LIVE LINUX!

As an aro community veteran, seeing time and time again romance-favorable aros vent about not seeing aros like them and only finding romance-repulsed content, and romance-repulsed aros vent about not seeing aros like them and only romance-favorable content...

I decided to make two sister blogs (this blog and @apothicary) to hopefully be able to direct each kind of aro to what they're trying to find

[pressplay-if]

I've turned asks off for a little while, it's just better for me right now. I need a little radio silence until the update comes out, then I'll open the inbox again. But I will be answering asks received up to now in the meantime! Especially the kind ones that I got just earlier, I see you guys and I appreciate you <3
