At least that makes sense, there probably aren't a lot of landmarks in the woods that you can use to orient yourself.
I made the mistake of assuming that a major state highway would have at least some kind of sign denoting it. Silly me.
And the stupid part is that I managed to orient myself fine without the GPS; I only used it to confirm that the road I was turning onto was, in fact, the state route I thought it was because there was no damn sign. (This was after inadvertently passing it once and having to turn around due to a road closure.)

I sometimes feel that I have trouble dealing with people's grief at times as well...
I do too. :\
Sometimes it feels like I don't have very much empathy at all, and this worries me.
That's all you can say, Tools. That's more than good enough.
I actually do believe in Heaven, Hell, and Reincarnation. But one'll never know what's really going on till they die, so it's all speculation Science-wise. Regardless of beliefs, anyway.

I haven't killed any Sims in a while.
I should look for more creative ways to do it, the whole "use a grill indoors and burn down the house with everyone inside" thing has gotten old.
I'm just not a fan of games where I can't directly control my character.(same reason I can't stand long FMV's. If it's above 3 minutes and/or unskippable...)
If I could control the Sim directly, it'd be fun. Keep in mind, I'm okay with this on Sim City, but there's not any actual notable characters there anyway.
On The Sims 2, I created Amanda Young from the Saw series and moved her into a house designed as a warehouse. Whenever a Sim walked past, I'd make them selectable, and locked them in a room with a Cow Plant. When the Cow Plant was hungry, I'd make them eat the cake. I then got Amanda to drink their life.
I had about 22 gravestones by the end. And now the neighbourhood is virtually empty.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."

"But that is the truth right?"
This was close to my reaction. It was "blunt", but I wouldn't call it "snarky" or a " joke". What the troper said sounded rather naive, if not downright foolish.
Not sure how old they where, but most tropers should be of an age where they have a decent idea of how death works.
I guess it wasn't the best thing to say to them, but what exactly DO you say to someone whose asking if their passed loved one will "be here tomorrow"?
Seems like the sort of question that's easier to deal with gentility in real life, kinda hard to approach gracefully over a web forum.

Yeah, it's really strange question for a 15 year old to ask.
What do they expect? Someone is going to come forward and explain "Yep, death has been one big practical joke! You figure out it isn't real at some point just like Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. Your Grandma is going to jump out of her casket at the funeral and yell "Surprise!" and all the adults are going to burst into laughter as the children shriek and run for cover."
...OK, it's a good thing I don't really post in TVT...
I lost my grandma to some form of illness (7 years old), step-grandad to Alzheimer's (8 years old) and grandad to another illness (9 years old). And now I've lost my second auntie to cancer (17 years old).

I think most people do. In many ways, that sort of pain is a very private thing; in others, it's public. The latter is because of the external fact of it--the senses in which it is a change of status, and a communal loss--while the former is due to the individual relationship with the deceased, which is in the end subjective and unknowable. The closest we can get to accessing that is highly indirect; the easiest ways are nonverbal, which is what makes it so difficult, even more so over the internet.

Hi, Kexruct.
To the people on my TV right now: Why would you need 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms when you seem to have made it clear that it's just the two of you and your dog? Is there something I'm missing here?
I remember when my household was told of my step-grandma's death.
It was after the funeral had happened.
My step-grandmother was my mom's friend, my mom was the one who introduced her to my grandma.
After that my mom went on a two-month drinking binge and nearly died, we lost our house, and now we live here due to the charity of my mom's younger brother.

I got lost during a walk in the woods while using a GPS.

Someone on TVT has just lost their grandma, and they're going "she'll be here tomorrow, won't she?"
I said "No. She's gone, just like my second auntie."
Whoops.
I'm going to Hell for that.
Sometimes it feels like I don't have very much empathy at all, and this worries me.
But... It's online, so... Kind of hard to do anything but say sorry...
I'm only 17, so a long time to wait.
...
I really need get a Sim who dies of old age. I keep killing them off before they reach the Elder stage.

Then again, I am slightly biased. I've been playing the series since I was 7. Nothing pleased 7 year old me then roasting some Sims alive.

19.
Stressed.

I, having lost relatives when I was 7, know how death works.

@Tools You mean Aiko?
Then again, it took me two weeks to get over my second auntie's death, but I never asked if she was going to come back...

He was in WWII
