UNDERSTANDING RESHADE

I get a lot of questions about using ReShade, whether it's about errors, installation problems, or just for hints and tips. I put together a comprehensive guide to help you understand ReShade, including a troubleshooting section: www.patreon.com/posts/unders...

If I had the money, this is what I’d collect. I had half of these when I was little, and the rest were in my infant school library. Feel free to send me expensive gifts of original ladybird books thnx

The little wooden thingy at the side of the sofa was built by my grandad out of old wooden boxes, it still has the original printed words on it. I used to use it when I was little as one of the stands for a desk with a big sheet of wood across it 🥰

Oh thank you! I’ve had the pine bookcase on the left for probably 20+ years now. The white units are just ikea kallax. I’d love to get full floor to ceiling bookshelves and cabinets built in along that whole wall, but it would be very expensive 😞

Maybe I do it anyway and you get double the laughs: me getting confused about how to hook up power lines, and me having to stop every 20 seconds to cry about the noise

I had a vague idea I might actually attempt a let’s play, so everyone can scream at their screens as I am a complete and useless doofus playing the game, but next door is being renovated and

Took an hour for all my mods to load the first time today 😅 and now after many many months away from the game I can’t remember how to do anything. Looking forward to bumbling my way through again though.

I haven’t played it for ages so I don’t know. I’ve been watching a few videos recently and they seem to be having a good time with it

I don't like modding games, she said.

I'll only download the essentials, she said.

This may or may not have something to do with me watching a bunch of Cities Skylines 2 videos and thinking about how all my mods are hideously out of date

amoebae @amoebae.bsky.social · 3d

I would play a lot more games if I could get someone to mod them for me

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
