    Does anyone know what happened to our friendly @Creamu? Until recently you could find him in front of you wherever you went, but then he was suddenly swallowed into thin air. He was last seen near the infamous, cursed @GhostLatte 's van and then nothing. 😱 I fear the worst. Has anyone heard from our friend? @Creamu, if you are there, give us a shout!!!

    Today I have to continue my plaster work, but I have to leave this message here before leaving the house now:
    "You are an Eulenspiegel!"
    My grandfather would have said exactly this to you, and yes, this is meant benevolent -- despite some of the Eulenspiegel stories being anything but harmless.

    :teach:→ You are not supposed to translate a name.
    Some of your jokes are really "Eulenspiegelei" (an Eulenspiegel's prank). Of course only the harmless kind! Some stories contain severe injuries caused by his pranks. Some are very mean, but the very last one is so ingenious I'll put it here:

    Lying on his deathbed he is visited by a greedy priest, who believes the dying prankster must have a lot of money. Eulenspiegel promises the priest money, shits into some pot and covers his dirt with gold coins.

    When the priest returns Eulenspiegel says: "Take some gold, but don't be greedy and grab too deep into the pot."
    The priest grabs deep into it and gets what he deserves.

    Interesting. Did you know in Italy we often associate shit with money? A rich person we call a money shitter [caca-soldi]
    Or if someone squashes a dog shit with his foot we say he will be financially fortunate. Or by eating lentils you will shit money. So, in the end, 💩=💰

    Oh please… I knew right away it looks somewhat condescending and know-it-all. I thought the usage of ":teach:" would bring a little irony to this and prevent such negative interpretations. (You used this figure in the past as well, so…)

    It is a weak point of mine: You triggered some of the useless "computer history" memories and I couldn't resist.
    But I can edit the (mostly) off-topic part away if you want.

    On what computer/OS did you read Narcissu? I never run unknown software on my main Linux machine, only on unimportant or toy computers.
    The Windows 10 tablet goes mad when selecting fullscreen (half picture only) and it doesn't save music volume.
    I'll probably have to read this on my "Optical Drive Beast" computer on the attic.

    Is there a WinXP compatible mode option in Windows 10?

    I read it about 10 years ago on the old Windows XP PC you already know. It was also converted for VNDS (Visual Novel Reader) for NDS consoles: with a flashcard you can read it on 3ds as well.

    Those compatibility options do hardly anything. They can be helpful if an application does an explicit version check.
    The half (or 2/3 picture) is more a high DPI problem, but the compatibility options for turning this off… don't do anything as well.
    I will use the XP computer on the attic -- and surely not a DS. That would be an even harder punishment for the ears.

    Thankfully nothing happened to the HDDs as I avoided falling from the chair.
    Our very old house does NOT have ceilings/floors made of reinforced concrete (like it should be). The main load bearings inside the floors are made of oak timber/tree trunks (missing correct vocabulary: big, strong wood stuff)
    The floors are a bit elastic and transfer shocks. If I fell down next to the PC, it could be too much for 3.5" HDDs

    Answer: Sims 3 had a deep circular scratch. That destroys some sectors fully, opposed to arbitrary scratches damaging many sectors a bit (so that error correction still has good chance).

    A professional reseller must know that… apparently they didn't (and asked me to send the disc back to show it to all employees for the future).

    Your words aren't hard to understand; probably work in any language

    I just want to add:
    Lieschen is also a victim of the past society, with strict religious rules. The people brutally excluded such “sinners”. Gretchen, already "guilty" of the same deed… internally panics and gets aware of the unfairness and stupidity:

    A boy may literally(!) fuck around as he wishes, but a girl becomes a sinner and whore (“pariah”).

    It was true until a few years ago. Today, in Italy, there is absolute sexual and costume freedom, even for women. Young girls on onlyfans offer nude and masturbation photos in exchange for money, as normal work, with the consent of their families. 😲

    Many women feel defeated and crushed when somebody seriously questions their visual appearance. When somebody tells me that I'm ugly… well… I got some comparisons (hard to translate) to exaggerate+make fun of myself, outplaying the other person's words.
