Sep. 21st, 2013 05:40 pmSo I've been using a giant laptop as my desktop replacement for years now, and putting up with its 17" screen (which is great for a laptop, but not that great for a desktop). Did you know that the entire time, we had a 24" monitor going unused in the basement? Because we did. For years. Just about exactly twice as much screen real estate, completely unused. But eventually I remembered that this was the case and we hooked it up to my computer! And now everything looks tiny because I have a choice of exactly one resolution that fits the monitor and that resolution is "a butt-ton by an ass-load". Which is why I've decided to start making the pictures in these posts just a little bigger.
Also, my Sims game runs at a bigger window size now, which is kind of cool. It was actually always set to run at 1366x768, and I never realized it was a bit shorter and quite a bit narrower than that until just now. That doesn't kick in until next update, though.

General warning: sometimes I swear.
Last time: Doc Boy and Frances J. Worthington III got married! They each had a baby, but then the babies turned out to not really exist. Instead they had three babies. And eventually two more! Doc Boy's want to top the criminal career, and Frances's want to top the law enforcement career, somehow failed to spawn a wacky sitcom. The nanny was horrible and my Terminator reference wasn't much better. Maddie and twins Owen and Lisa became teenagers, and got a series of pretty crappy dates from the matchmaker; Jinx hit child and youngest Keisha became a toddler. Then I stopped playing for a while in an attempt to avoid the inevitable.

Next time: Ghosts! Mystical powers! SCIENCE!!! Somebody gets pregnant... and somebody dies. Also, Yig Hall comes back for a repeat performance.
