Don't Yap About Your Yappy

I am used to Word autosaving relentlessly; for the last few years it didn't really even have a "File>Save" command that I could see--it just autosaved like every five seconds or something. It took me a long time to get used not clicking File>Save at the end of every writing session, and I never really trusted it--with good reason, it turns out.

Apparently, when you turn off Word's new ai features, AutoSave is disabled and cannot be turned back on. There is toggle button in the upper left for it, but when I try to toggle it on, it says "Autosave is not available because of your privacy settings." I worked in my document yesterday, put my computer to sleep with the doc still open on the taskbar (my usual habit), and when I opened it today, the new work I did yesterday was gone.

This time I only lost about 300 words, which I had typed into my document from my longhand-writing in a notebook (so I guess I kind of autosaved them that way!), but if I'd really been on a roll, this could have been a disaster.

ok, sure, probably just because i'm in fucking texas but who is this kws group?

is that epic games? that epic games?

they put their moderation in the hands of the fortnite people???

not gonna log out from them, not gonna delete my account either, but also not going to fill this out. why do you need to know, especially when bluesky is not a site marketed to kids in the first fucking place?

bluesky itself is rated mature on the google playstore! as in adults only! as in children should not be here anyway so who is this verification for??

So I’ve made up another challenge called the Orphanage Challenge. Feel free to play it if you want - I think it’ll be fun. It revolves a lot around story-telling if you want the best experience. You also need to have a random generator where you choose the criteria. I recommend the custom list feature of Randomlists.com. Here are the rules:

STARTING OUT

To start out, you will first create one sim, a young adult. They will be the carer, and their gender, etc. can be whatever you want. It’s recommended that they have the ‘friend of the world’ aspiration, and traits such as good, neat, foodie, family-orientated… that type of thing. Once the carer is made, you will then make the children.

By whatever method you like, randomise the traits/aspirations, gender, age (child, toddler or baby) and names of the children. They must have no relation to the carer - they are orphans. You can make up their backstories.

Once the household is full, you can choose a lot and either build an orphanage or download one from the gallery. It should have multiple bathrooms, and enough bedrooms for eight people to live comfortably. Kids can share if you want. Once the house is build, set the household funds to 34,000 simoleons. Once you have the household and the lot, you’re ready to go.

GAMEPLAY AND RULES

The goal of the carer is to raise the children to be happy and healthy for as long as they are at the orphanage. If they have a birthday at the orphanage, their traits must be randomly generated. The carer does not have a job - their job is to take care of the children. Using cheats, add 1000 simoleons to the household funds every week as payment from the local council and to take care of the children.

Every weekday, there is a one in three chance (use a random generator) that a child or toddler will be adopted. If that is the case, randomly generate which is adopted, and move them in with another family, sim or couple (you can make these if you want.) There is also a one in three chance that a new child or toddler will arrive. If your household is full, you have two options: add them to a waiting list, or just don’t bother if the household is full. if you know a cheat or mod to make the household bigger, you’re welcome to use that. Names, genders, traits and ages should all be randomly generated.

Sunday is the main day when people come looking to adopt. Randomly generate how many of your orphans will be adopted (at least one) and move them in with their new family. Then, based on how many spaces you have left, randomly generate how many new orphans will arrive.

When the carer becomes an elder, the youngest orphan will take their place once they become a young adult.

-the rightful heir is a baby and they can tell it’s the right baby because of a giant birthmark on his asscheek

-the main character’s only talent is singing and the rest of the pseudo robin-hood group just kinda tolerate him because he repeatedly fucks up

-he gets hypnotized into believing he is this amazing swashbuckling sword fighting hero along the lines of Wesley from the Princess Bride and ends up fighting the villain while snapping in and out of hypnosis

-the vessel with the pestle has the pellet with the poison, the chalice with the palace has the brew that is true “what”

-he stumbles his way through the entire plot and never knows what the hell is going on

-Danny Kaye is the funniest motherfucker you’ve never heard of
