[OOC] Beyond a Fire's Embers

[Genkai]

Go out for drinks at night, ya know cause they're cool and soothing...lol

And yep, I saw and enjoyed it~ :3 I wanna get my HP post done and then I'll get to ours.

[mmidnight]

Haha, basically. And bonfires c: even though it's hot already.

Alriiiight c:

[Genkai]

Ohh well bonfires include s'mores so that should be ok? Stop making me hungry!

Hopefully I can finish the post fairly quickly, which means turning on some HP music~

[mmidnight]

I'm sorry!

HP music is lovelyy.

[Genkai]

This fucking site...of course I closed our RP tab because I thought it would just distract me but when I wanted to work on it while taking a break from fussing around the house, the Guild craps out. >.< *kicks it* Stupid software.

And yes, ahhh nostalgia.

[mmidnight]

It seems to be back now? I was reinstalling Sims 3 after banishing 4 from my computer for the rest of forever.

[Genkai]

Yeah for now it's back. ^^;

A new Sims did come recently right? Was that 4? What was wrong with it?

[mmidnight]

Yeah, it's four. I think it came out in September? Idk, but everything is wrong with it. If you played three and loved the open world, CAST, toddlers, and a bunch of other things then you're really going to hate four. It's like a broken down version of two. The only thing I liked about it was there were no routing issues and sims never got stuck on like, a plate in the middle of the floor or on stairs or on each other. And there's multitasking, which is nice but I'd rather have a full game than some half-assed piece of crap that EA is charging sixty to eighty dollars for. Here are all of the missing features from four that were included in past versions.

[Genkai]

I played a bit of Sims but I had a childhood friend OBSESSED with it and yeah...we kinda lost touch partly due to her internet/PC gaming craze but many of the missing features seem really stupid, I mean in the sense...why take them away? It seems like good chunks of the game are missing, enough to compile a long ass list. Well hopefully you didn't feel like you wasted too much cash on Sims 4 but it sounds like other people may feel the same way you do. :/

[mmidnight]

Oh, I didn't pay for it, haha. I never do and I'm not going to give my money to a company who thinks it's okay to charge astronomical amounts of money on a product that isn't even finished. They said they took a lot of those features away so that people with older computers would be able to play, but the style of the sims themselves are just so ugly. Even with CC I have a hard time making sims that I'm satisfied with, and I made cute af sims with three. So, I switched back because I saved my old download of 3 just in case I hated 4. I got it sometime in October from games4theworld and played it maybe five or six times? Which is saying something, because I'm a builder and a decorator as well and the games is just crap.

[Genkai]

That really sucks, anyone with an old computer these days HAS to upgrade at least to a new OS which sucks, I don't see why Sims would take away stuff just because they want people with old PCs to be happy when their target audience should be people with more modern systems. Ahh well, at least you can go back to the older version without too much of a hang up.

I'm working on a post for you. I'm so horrible. >___>'

[mmidnight]

It's really awful. Like, for every improvement they've made, they've taken away at least ten essential features. Idk, I'm happy with 3 and I'm happy to be playing again, although I lost a good chunk of my custom content.

And yay! All the posts for me, pls c:

[Genkai]

Sorry to hear about the content but hey, you've got time to make up anyway and fiddle, have fun. ^^ And you tried 4, maybe with 5 they'll undo the fuck up but hey Pokemon is known for ditching amazing addons for no reason at all...-shrugs-

Yes, I'm about done. I'll then switch to my tablet to finish that HP post and make dinner and some fudge.

My mom brought home cupcakes so i got a nice snack~ We need cupcakes in this RP...Peeta's party will have cupcakes and pizza and ice cream and sprinkles and everyone can forget about dying! :3

EDIT - Boo! A wild post appeared!

[mmidnight]

I hope 5 will be the sequel to 3, because 4 is a downgraded 2. Oh well though c: I have 3 back and I'm having fun decorating and hunting for new pretty CC.

Ugh, Peeta's birthday party is going to be so fun :3 And yay! I'll get you something tonight first thing, even though I have something else to do on the other site still.

[Genkai]

Alright. I'm just here, eating dinner and working on posts, letting netflix keep me company since the night is now a lazy/slow one thanks to more rain~ ^^;

[mmidnight]

I think we got your rain, haha. It's been raining for two days now. And I'm here, waiting to find out who wins Ink Master and starting on a post :3

[Genkai]

We just got another dump of rain...may get it for the next few days. With any luck, it'll clear up this weekend since I plan to go into SF for lunch with a friend and then go to a hockey game with my dad, sorta in the opposite direction. No one wants to travel or drive in the rain, super risky. :/

And cool, no hurry. I'm finally in my HP mindset, let's hope it stays put...though I do have my wand close by if it strays lol

[mmidnight]

Sharks, Ducks or Kings? c:

Let's duel. I've got my wand...somewhere >__> probably in my room.

[Genkai]

I think Sharks. Our friend has season tickets and he's giving us his tickets for Saturday for xmas. We're not big on hockey but my mom's brother played for his college up in MN for a good couple of years and I've never been to a game so I'm interested to see what my friend babbles about.. ^^;

I got Minvera's wand, it fits so nicely in my hand. And after reading her backstory on Pottermore, I loved her character even more. :3

Though she failed at romance, JK was amazing when it came to creativity and thought.

[mmidnight]

I hope you have a great time! My first hockey game was magic :3 it's a lot more fun than just watching it on TV. Who are they playing?

I got a custom made one for my birthday one year. My ex worked with a guy who carved them, which was pretty neat c:
