![]() ![]() I already gave my whole “ I want to see emotions!” spiel in the earlier entry, so I won’t reiterate. I came for the tub, I stayed for the expressions. If your Sim feels most comfortable curled up in a bathtub, then let ‘em be. I can appreciate an unconventional resting spot as much as the next person and, hey. So bonus points for an uncommon twist to this pretty common concept. Thousands of Sims would think to hold phone convos on their bed or on the couch. I will argue that the concept is marginally more unique. Like I said earlier plenty of custom phone conversation poses. The model’s expressions are so soft, so cute, and so beautifully unfiltered, you can really feel how comfortable she is talking to whoever’s on the other end.Īnd don’t forget to grab the phone accessory (courtesy to Sims CC creator quiddity)! So that’s why ratboy’s Phone Call Poses won me over. ![]() If my Sim is going to cannonball into a pool, scale a cliff face, or parkour their way over a bench, I want to see it on their faces, too. You’re in it for what the body is doing.īut when all the effort goes to how the body looks, it leaves the face looking pretty meh. I’ll be the first to admit that a lot of custom poses turn me off due to the facial expression. However, the expressions in this pack really blew me away. At a grand total of six poses, it’s enough to be called a pack, but it’s pretty low compared to most pose packs that offer upwards of fifteen variations. There aren’t that many options in the pack, either. God knows there are plenty of phone convo poses for the Sims 4 out there. I mean, I get that the concept’s not unique. These poses are on my personal favorites list. If you want to set the scenes right, you’ll need these cute Halloween accessories by BackTrack, of which the creator of this poses had a collab with. (Otherwise you’d just have a guy gesticulating to thin air and a girl cradling nothing.) There are ten all in all, and they all – one way or another – tell a story. So say that loud and say it proud with these pretty spoopy poses by wasabi sims. It’s not so much a holiday as it is a state of being. Halloween Gift 2020 Collab with BackTrack by wasabi simsįor the batty babes, seductive sirens, underworld overlords, and ghoulish guys and gals, Halloween never truly leaves you. And for the poses that require furniture, you’ll also need the ever-dependable Teleport Any Sim mod by scumbabo. So no downloading these and wondering why your Sim is floating in mid-air.Īs always, Andrew’s Pose Player is necessary. I figured I’d separate them from the group just so that it’s clear they need a little something extra to work – be that a bed, a desk, a chair, or a tiny pumpkin cupcake. So these are basically solo shots with props. You won’t really need anything else for these poses to work just the Pose Player and a heckuva spunky attitude.Īnd maybe an appropriately-fiery background. The original poses all have some level of confidence and sex appeal, with maybe a hint of smugness coloring the expressions.īasically perfect for the Sims who know they’re hot. There are 14 original poses in this pack and five default CAS poses (specifically, the poses for the Evil trait). ![]() Let your Sim’s face and body do all the talking, because they definitely have a lot to say. Model Poses 19 Posepack and CAS by HelgaTishaįor the sexy, saucy, and downright sassy Sim, these custom poses scream effortless power and natural badassery. ![]() But given that these are all independent standalone poses, you won’t need scumbabo’s Teleport Any Sim mod. These offer a variety of positions that your Sim can take without needing any sort of accessories or furniture around them (i.e., chairs, beds, etc.).Īs always, you’ll need Andrew Studio’s Pose Player. These solo poses put them squarely in the limelight (and focus) of the shot. You can definitely have two Kids or two Toddlers (rather than one of each), but do be aware that some of these poses need Sim A to carry Sim B, so… Best to consider the logistics before setting up. There are four poses in this pack, and they’re only for Toddlers and Kids. Whether your Sim’s kids love each other, hate each other, or are absolutely indifferent about each other, you can still score a sweet heartwarming photo of the two.Īll you need is a pose player, a Sim teleporter (all links in the category description), and an absolutely sunny background. To position your Sims correctly (as the poses intend), you’ll need scumbabo’s “Teleport Any Sim” mod. To use these poses, you’ll need to install Andrew’s Pose Player. Grab two or more Sims for a great photoshoot and a good time. Custom poses that look weird and slightly out of context if there’s only one Sim doing them. ![]() ![]() Spawn location 1-4, the PHs are just common NPCs (e.g. This can make it difficult for hunting the rare creations since they could kill each other before you have a chance to kill them.

At the end of the year, the Quest 2 was still outselling the Quest 3. As of early 2023, Meta was estimated to have sold 20 million headsets. ![]() Of course, we’re not talking about smartphone figures here. According to IDC, Meta had a 50.2% share as of Q2 2023. If you judge the company’s journey in terms how much of the VR headset market it controls, it’s been a wild and unprecedented success. As an HTC Vive exec told me back in February at MWC, “I think Meta has adjusted the market perception of what this technology should cost.” Other companies can’t compete on price and content in the customer space, so the savviest of the bunch have moved over to enterprise, where clients have much deeper pockets. It has already edged the competition out of the market and generally sucked the air out of the room. If it can truly saturate the market and corner content, it will be better positioned to capitalize on mixed reality’s hypothetical exponential growth. How long the company is willing to play the long game here, however, largely comes down to how much patience Meta’s shareholders have. If you can’t do that while turning a profit, well, you gotta spend money to make money, right? The end game is getting enough of these devices into people’s hands to reach a critical mass of adoption, word of mouth and developer content. It doesn’t take an MBA to understand that this is a terrible short-term strategy, but again, Meta believes it’s playing the long game. This is despite the fact that the company has easily the best manufacturing scale in the industry. It’s widely believed that Meta sells its Quest headsets at a loss. But Facebook believes it’s playing the long game here. That’s not to say that having a division that’s $42 billion in the red over four years doesn’t impact its bottom line, of course. The corporation made $134 billion in revenue and $39.1 billion in net income last year. Why is Meta hemorrhaging that much money? The simple and cynical answer is, because it can. That’s a little over one-fourth a Zuckerberg (not adjusted for inflation - i.e., BJJ-related bulking). That’s roughly 21x the price it paid for Oculus, not adjusting for inflation. Between the end of 2020 and the first quarter of 2024, the company’s metaverse division lost $42 billion. From a purely financial standpoint (the only language shareholders speak), things are bleak. So where are we now? It’s complicated, obviously. Remember what a big deal it was when its avatars finally got legs? Mark Zuckerberg is probably as guilty as any single person for perpetuating that perception, happily working his hardest to make the company’s Horizon Worlds platform synonymous with conceptions of the metaverse. I suspect that were you to perform a blind poll, the majority of people who are familiar with the term meta would describe something like Second Life, the virtual world that to be on its fifth or sixth life by now. Imagine enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face - just by putting on goggles in your home.” “After games, we’re going to make Oculus a platform for many other experiences. “Immersive gaming will be the first, and Oculus already has big plans here that won’t be changing and we hope to accelerate,” Mark Zuckerberg wrote at the time. So, where, as of April 2024, does the Facebook/Oculus deal rank? But there’s always that little-discussed middle ground between transforming the human condition and just being an abject dumpster fire of failure. A decade after the deal was announced, it’s safe to say that the VR headset hasn’t changed the world we live in. It evokes a flood of romanticized images of Homebrew Computer Club nerds soldering together circuit boards in South Bay garages.Ī decade has now passed since Meta (née Facebook) announced plans to acquire the startup for $2 billion. It was a remarkable presentation, in hindsight - an all-too-rare glimpse into a plucky entrepreneurial tech spirit. More than anything, the system resembled a hastily duct-taped ski mask. Oculus’ Rift prototype felt like just such a device when it first crossed my radar more than a decade ago. In fact, you’re extraordinarily lucky if you average one a year. The dirty secret of this job is that true, game-changing inventions rarely cross your desk. Frankly, I don’t know how the editors do it.

We will see what both look like after this winter. I repaired the frame on the passenger side with the self etching primer and undercoat and KBS on the drivers side. I'm doing all my current repairs with it and I hope it works, it had better given what I paid for it. It reacts with moisture and actually sucks it out of the rust so it can't get any worse. It managed to glue the paint can closed so bad that after the 3rd usage I had to store it in a large caning jar because the can would no longer seal. Its some pretty mean stuff and I have high hopes for it. I have the whole kit with the paint and etching spray that eats and neutralizes rust. I'm trying Rust Seal by KBS coatings (POR15) on my new repairs. I pumped it in through the holes under sill plate and got it all over with a small paint brush. Believe it or not this rocker that rusted out so bad had been treated internally with rust converter after the fiberglass repair was made. I really wish it worked like the name implies but my experience says otherwise. I hate to say it but I'm through with rust converter. I'm starting to wonder what a body shop would charge to fix the frame rail? I have so many other projects to do before winter plus a job. The thing that annoys me the most is that the underbody rust is, for the most part, only on the rear frame rails which is the one place I don't want it! I was planing on scraping down the rest of the underbody rust, etching it with acid, then painting it with KBS Rust Seal but I don't know where I am going to find the time. I welded in some steel and that was that. When I was poking around trying to fix the lift point I discovered the fiberglass had gotten loose so I pulled it off, reviling what you see.Įarlier this year the frame rail on the other side also had a rust through in the same spot but it wasn't as extensive. Not having a way to weld in a new piece I put a layer of fiberglass over it hoping it would at least stop the rust from getting worse. I pealed the loose paint off that spot reveling thin pin holed metal but only on the bottom. Several years ago, before I had a welder, I tried supporting the car with a jack stand in that area but the frame rail started to deform so I stopped. Part of the problem with that area though was probably me though. The rockers and pinch welds were always solid except for 2 small holes on either side in the back and the one lift point. I always garaged it and even sprayed off the underside in the winter. Of course, a clean Carfax just means nothing was reported, not that nothing happened. I bought my car with a clean, one owner, Carfax report in CT. If I had known this I would never have bought those new wheels and spent that money at the body shop. The PO obliviously never garaged the car in the years they had it. It only has 71K on it but what good is that if the structure is going to fail. Stuff like this makes me wonder if its time to look for another car. I'm going to try to weld in some 16ga steel plate but the area is already so thin its going to be difficult to find good metal and then the plastic gas lines also run right next to the frame rail. ![]() I was able to repair the lift point but I still have alot of work ahead of me. Today, I started on the lift point but discovered alot more trouble that I had ever anticipated. "Another thing to fix" I though and continued with the body work I had already started. Much to my dismay, the lift point pushed into the rocker. Then I went to put the jack back, I put it in the same spot where it was before and tried to lift the car off the jack stand. ![]() Later, I needed the jack for another car so I removed it and put a jack stand in a different spot to support the car. During this repair I had the wheel off and a jack holding the car up. The other side also needs repair but it isn't as bad. This is from me doing in improper repair about 2 years ago when it first started bubbling up. I ended up having to completely remake the piece between the rear door and wheel from scratch as well as the part of the inner fender behind it. It started with just fixing some body rust. My Escort has been down for 2 weeks so far. This is a long story so bear with me or just skip to the pics. ![]() ![]() Knowing the answers to these will help you in planning your trip.

In addition to doing the manatee tour and water activities through the hotel’s adventure center, we spent a few hours at Three Sisters Springs and a half day in Homosassa Springs, visiting the state park and a few other places. ![]() And to be honest, there really aren’t many alternatives. But, the price was reflective of that, and the location and property overall outweighed any cons related to our actual in-room experience. So, check the most recent reviews before booking. If you read the hotel’s reviews on, you will see that many echo these sentiments. However, I do know that they were beginning a renovation, so the rooms may have improved since our stay. It felt outdated (not surprising for an older hotel), and we had some noisy, semi-sketchy neighbors. The property and area, in general, is beautiful “Old Florida.” The only thing we didn’t love was our room. There were multiple dining options and even live music out by the pool one night. The large pool and hot tub were hits with the kids. We enjoyed that the hotel was right on the water and even saw manatees swim by on several occasions. Here, you can also rent kayaks and pontoon boats onsite. The manatee tour and boat tours leave directly from the hotel via the Plantation Adventure Center. This is a part of the Choice Hotels Ascend Collection, and while it’s not a “fancy” resort, it has a lot to offer and is in a great location.

This post was updated in November 2023 at the start of Crystal River Manatee Season. But in the end, I came face-to-face with a manatee, and it is a moment that I will never forget! While I thought that I planned it all out appropriately, I did a few things wrong. However, right now is actually the best time of year to do something like this, so better late than never!
