It's always sunny elsewhere-

"So, why not just go and talk to one of them? They are not animals in zoo enclosures for you shitheads to gawk at."

"Oh right, as if it's that easy!"

"Yeah! If it was that easy none of us would be single and a virgin right now!"

"Man, you guys suck-"

"Says you!" Five out of the six identical brothers shot back at the brunette on her towel next to them, applying sunscreen onto herself. It was a nice sunny day, the sextuplets accompanied by their lady friend decided to spend their day at the beach, mostly because if they didn't god knows when the next time she'll be free to come with them.

"You're the one who's hanging out with us of all people, Aki!" Osomatsu stated.

The girl rolled her eyes at her friends, rather humoured as she slathered sunscreen over her legs. "I'm hanging out with you guys because we are friends, it would be a boring beach day if I came here alone." She simply replied before closing her sunscreen bottle and standing up.

Placing her hands onto her hips she looked down at the phatetic excuses for adults that were her sextuplet friends "So, do you losers plan on just watching girls from a distance or are we gonna have some good ol' fashioned summer fun?" She asked, earing those blank looks as they stared up at her.

"Come on, hot girl summer can't start without me..." Aki sighed rubbing her temples "I'll... Crush the watermelon between my thighs."

The brothers looked between one another before grinning. Oh how easy they are to sway. "Alright, let's go then!" Osomatsu announced, causing his brothers to follow suit.

The gang proceeded to engage in classic summertime activities. Swimming in the sea, collecting seashells, building a sandcastle, burying Karamatsu in a hole, you know... Fun stuff. Of coarse Aki was the one that had to get him out of that hole-

"Whew..." Aki sighed out as she sat in the shallow water, needing a break after the digging she did. She washed the sand off of herself, feeling the presence of at least two people behind her. The footsteps were faint, where they trying to sneak up on her? Who could it be? Most likely Bakamatsu.

Was she right? Weeeeell...

As she stood up she sensed a hand reach out towards her- just before one could blink Aki had grabbed the person by the wrist and flung them into the deeper part of the water. Well it wasn't that deep- maybe just a bit over-the-pelvis deep on the Aki-scale.

So... Who did she throw? Ichimatsu.

"Woooooow Aki, way to scare him! Just after he worked up the courage to approach you as well." Todomatsu, who turned out to be the second person, snickered as he watched Ichimatsu's head shoot up above the water surface. Absolutely shook.

He sort of just sat there, dead on the inside.

"Ah fuck-" Aki winced before shuffling her way trough the water.

As there was no more fun to be had Todomatsu woild take his leave and let Ichimatsudo his thing, Osomatsu said he'd be the one obtaining the watermelon from a fruit stall somewhere nearby... Gotta make sure he picked the biggest one.

"Sorry Ichi!" She said as she approached him, poor guy, he was like a cat that had a bucket of water dumped onto him. "You good dude?" She asked, looking down at him, bending down she extended a hand out to him to help up.

Did he need help? No... But he sure needed a pick-me-up.

Ichimatsu blinked a few times, from staring into space, to staring at Aki's hand, then up at her face- he didn't know what he wanted more, to melt or to explode. One could swear a halo of light formed around Aki's head as she shielded him from the sun as she towered over him.

So radiant...

But he accepted Aki's hand, his face contriting a timid expression as he tore his eyes away from her. "... Fine... I'm fine." He simply answered, he was going to stand up on his own, but he didn't expect to be pulled up just like that by her.

So strong...

Aki pulled Ichimatsu back up onto his feet, securing an arm around his back just in case his legs wobbled. Good thing she did because Ichimatsu felt like jello in her hold. "There you go, nice and easy Ichi." She said. She made sure that he was firmly planted on his feet before letting go.

Ichimatsu retracted his hand, covering it up with the other as his gaze shifted around, looking anywhere but up at Aki... Or even worse, the boob window of her black swimsuit. "Thank you Aki-chan... You... You really don't need to bother with me." He spoke lowly, his voice slightly shakily as he scratched his cheek.

"But I wanted to bother myself with you." Aki stated, rather bluntly, he may be trying to close a door but she was kicking them off their hinges. "So, you wanted to ask me something?"

Ichimatsu flinched and his head shot up to look up at her. She was so perceptive too, in his eyes at least. His eyes were slightly wide, but his pupils expanded at the sight if her face. It took him everything in his power to keep eyecontact with her like a normal person as he meekly nodded his head at her question "Y.. Yes... I wanted to... To ask..." He could feel himself screwing it up already. His heart was hammering against his chest "D-do.. Do you... Uhhh- do you want to- to..."

"Take your time Ichi." Aki gently reminded him, placing a hand onto her hip, he looked like he was going to start hyperventilating. "Remember to breathe."

Ichimatsu inhaled deeply, fuck it, he was just going to spit it out. "Do you want to go get kakigori with me??"

Aki blinked as she processed the question, it was such a simple question too. From the way he was wrecking himself, Aki thought it was something big but no. He just wanted her to accompany him to get kakigori. It was just... So sweet. "That's it?" She asked.

She only got a nod in return.

Good enough. "Sure, let's go." She said before turning around and shuffling her back to shore, only to pause, look over her shoulder only to see the fourth sextuplet looking rather stunned. She was going to bite her lip, but digressed and allowed a smile to make it's way onto her face. "You coming, Ichi?"

That seemed to break him out of the spell he was put under. He blushed in embarrassment. "Ha? Oh- y-yes! Yes!" He exclaimed as he shuffled after her. "I'm coming!"

Aki snorted, refraining from making a dirty joke as she waited for the purple Matsu to catch up. That way they ended up walking together, side by side. Ichimatsu kept his hands to himself, crossed over his chest while Aki's hands swung back and fourth freely at her sides. "You know, I actually... Don't really like kakigori..."

"Eh?" Ichimatsu let out a confused sound at her confession, his head snapping towards her while she stared ahead. "W-why did you say yes then??" He questioned.

Aki puffed her cheeks out and huffed, they stopped at her towel which allowed Aki to grab her wallet before continuing the walk. Kakigori was just flavoired ice... just having it in her mouth made her gums hurt. "I just... Don't see myself saying no to you." She admitted, pursing her lips for a second before grinning instesd. "I didn't want to say no, you... Usually don't talk to me, so this made me happy."

He... Made her happy? That was such an unbelievable thing to think about. Just who would the doll of darkness be able to keep happy? Well... Aki, apparently. The thought made Ichimatsu rather happy as well, he wasn't completely useless then. Aki liked having him around. "So... You don't actually want kakigori?"

"Nah... I don't. I'll see if I can get myself like... Whatever I feel like." Wow, must be nice having a job that provides you with sustainable income, and in turn with money that you can spend however you want.

While not exactly good at small-talk the two made do- a good way to keep Ichimatsu engaged was to talk about cats to him, his special interest. Aki even brought up her own cat and like a proud mom showed him the pictures of her furless baby which she had in her wallet.

Ichimatsu got his kakigori, which was paid for generously his sugar mommy of a friend, while Aki ended up with a can of beer. Nothing else in particular caught hey eye.

That was until the rest of the Matsus came back into view and there they had the watermelon. The virgins were keen on making Aki keep her 'promise'. "Oi, Aki! Check it out!" Osomatsu announced, holding up the watermelon.

"Time for you to make good on your promise, our dear Aki-chan." Karamatsu added, ever-so-slightly tilting his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose. "Show us the true power of a woman's quads!" Oh the pain, and it came from his voice alone.

Ichimatsu scoffed, mostly in distaste at his brothers behaviour. Usually Choromatsu would be the straight-man in this situation, yet even he was stoked about this. "Idiots..." He huffed, glancing up at Aki who had a rather unreadable expression on her face.

"Woooow... You guys are... Really dedicated to it. I wasn't even that serious." Aki mumbled out, pressing her lips against her can. She could do it sure but... She understated the resolve of a bunch of adult vigins.

"Don't underestimate us Aki, of coarse we took it seriously!" Jyushimatsu piped up "Now, crush the watermelon!"

"You don't have to go trough with it, you know." Ichimatsu remarked, poking at his shaved ice with his wooden spoon. He stabbed it into the ice and kinda just left it there. "They're being dumb..."

"Way to try and spoil the fun, niisan." Todomatsu remarked. Pouting, already having his phone out.

"Well?" Osomatsu spoke up and grinned, tapping the watermelon... It was rather dense. "What's the matter Aki? Can't do it?" The eldest brother challenged. "Or are you just shy?"

Aki inhaled before exhaling trough her nose, she glanced down at Ichimatsu and smirked "Hold my beer." She said, handing Ichimatsu her beer can.

Walking over to Osomatsu.l, Aki snatched the watermelon out of his hands with ease. "Watch, bitch boys."

So confident...

She sat down and wrapped her legs around the watermelon and squeezed it. The fruit stood no chance against her, as it cracked up, got crushed and broken open just like that. And it was glorious.

And messy, the sticky kind of messy. Gross.

Everyone else was pretty vocal about this 'victory'. But Ichimatsu? His mouth was merely hanging open. That just confirms it, Aki can crush his skull between her thighs.

How hot is that?

PXL'S Anatomy of Screenshots

So you want to take better screenshots? There are multiple factors to consider, and if you don't enjoy tweaking reshade settings for every image, my ultimate method may not be for you. That being said, there are tips and resources in this guide that are applicable to everyone and you can select to explore those that are useful to your specific situation.

Disclaimer: I am not claiming to be an expert, nor am I offering to provide troubleshooting on an individual basis. This is a general guide and if you are unfamiliar with any of the concepts, please use the mighty power of the internet to find tutorials. I promise everything that I have learned over the years has been published and documented a thousand times better than I ever could.

There are five factors to address:

Your computer's inherent capabilities

The game's limitations

The mods you're using

Reshade

Post Processing

Graphics Card Settings & Drivers:

Become familiar with your graphic options. If you don't have a dedicated graphics card (i.e. a desktop or gaming laptop, these features may be unavailable and you should skip.)

I have an AMD Radeon Pro card which is designed for workstation level systems. It's overkill for sims, but useful for 3D rendering and modelling work. I have changed the following settings for DirectX 9 applications:

anti-aliasing - enhance application settings

anisotropic filtering - enabled

anisotropic filtering level - 16x

texture filtering quality - high

surface format optimization - high

Consider overclocking your graphics card to unlock it's full potential. DO NOT pursue this venture unless you are ok with the risk of burning out your card prematurely. I use at present, overclocked Bootcamp Drivers from BootcampDrivers.com obviously, if you're not playing on an intel based mac through Bootcamp, this is irrelevant to you.

None of these settings are useful until you address the default games limitations, which leads nicely into the next factor.

Addressing The Sims 4's Graphic Limitations:

Everyone should be familiar at this point with lighting mods, 4k, textures, disabling ssao, etc. but, I'm still going to spell it out. None of this is new information and has been covered many a time by various players ad nauseum.

remove ugly blue toned lighting in the world by choosing a lighting mod from @softerhaze here

overhaul your graphics.cfg file (i use a custom blend with features specific to me), however @simp4sims has done a ridiculous amount of work in providing a simple to install file that can be found here - read through their tutorials!! they have provided an excellent oversight of exactly what this does and why it matters

improve the indoor lighting for your sims - previously i used @luumia's no blu, no glo - recently i switched to @northernsiberiawinds better in game lighting mod here, though i have tweaked some of the settings to suit my own personal preferences

i don't use the HQ mod, i don't find that it makes enough difference for the amount of effort it requires to convert CAS CC

It should go without saying, but tweaking your graphics config file is absolutely useless if you can't play TS4 at it's maximum in game graphic settings!

The Mods You're Using:

Now that you've put in all this work into getting the game ready to make use of quality mods where do you start? Well, the CC you install matters. Whatever your preference, whether it be maxis-match, alpha or somewhere in between, priority should be given to using items textured in 2k or 4k resolutions, and specific attention should be paid to using wall and flooring textures with bump maps, and or high quality resolutions (this is important later for reshade if you intend to learn about ray tracing).

I will separately post a guide to creators with crispy textures because that is it's own novel.

Reshade:

Phew. Still with me?

There are many many many reshade presets out there, most are alike, but none employ ray tracing, and that is because a) it needs to be manually adjusted for every screenshot, b) they are paid shaders, and c) this requires advanced knowledge of reshade and a decent enough graphics set up that won't overheat - games running native ray tracing recommend a minimum VRAM of 8GB (please note RAM and VRAM are not the same) - i therefore do not recommend pursuing this option if your system does not meet those minimum requirements.

Start here to understand what ray tracing for reshade is. In my opinion, the shaders are well worth the price of $5 for the amount of work that has gone into creating them by the talented Pascal Gilcher. That link is a comprehensive starting point into expanding your knowledge of reshade and it's capabilities.

I have always created my own reshade presets from scratch, and while the core colorization settings I utilize remain largely the same, using ray tracing and re-light means every screenshot needs to be manually adjusted (lights repositioned, bounce and AO factors adjusted, etc) before being captured. @pictureamoebae just published a very timely post discussing the re-light shader and you can read it here.

Post Processing

Reshade does 99.99% of the work that traditionally would be accomplished in a photo editing software like photoshop. Occasionally, I need to adjust exposure manually, add depth of field manually, or color correct. Beyond that I use it to scale images to fit the resolution and file size limits of various platforms. Conceptually this reduces the amount of uncontrolled loss encountered when platforms like tumblr auto compress files that are too large. In reality, tumblr still makes images crappy compared to how they appear in my file folder.

optimize your images for various social media platforms using this guide

fix exposure or colorization issues using a software like photoshop

I hope that this gives you a starting point into expanding your methodologies. My process is continuously evolving and I find this aspect of the game most entertaining. For others who don't enjoy this process, it's probably not worth it!

Thanks for reading ❤ PXL

A couple of notes on 'Jay' (@/JayyBio on twt)'s reply on behalf of Quackity Studios, from a Public Relations and Crisis Management perspective.

Preface:

This analysis attempts to keep as neutral of a stance as I can on this. I will support any worker's right to fair pay, especially with the hours that the QSMP admins put into this project. That being said, we, the viewers, cannot fully understand everything that has gone one with regards to privacy and confidentiality within the project.

Delivery:

The source of this media release comes from Twitter account JayyBio, an account created within the last 24 hours for the purpose of posting this message. The verification for this account was a follow from the official Quackity Studios account. This is absolute bare minimum and really shouldn't be done for anything, ever. I understand that they may wish to reduce the impact on viewers following the Quackity Studios account that are unaware of the situation, but doing this (and attaching a seemingly personal account to it) significantly impacts both the credibility and visibility of the statement.

Removal of Lea from the team:

Immediately, the attacks on Lea attempt to put the admin on the defensive. The evidence regarding her removal (including the 'grooming' screenshots, which she refers to vaguely, and even calls the notion crazy) is designed to target a sore spot within the community, and further complicate the situation.

As a managing body, it is administration's responsibility to clarify things like pay, fair compensation, and work. The screenshots don't call it 'stuff to do' or anything that would imply casual activities. Lea calls it work. As Lea was in a paid position instead of a volunteer one, the responsibility falls on the Studio's head to clarify these things.

The only proof of unavailability is two screenshots, a month apart, with the responding manager enthusiastically giving confirmation with no warning or advice. The only thing this proves is that Lea was not scolded (in the images provided) for taking unavailability.

This whole unavailability thing is a huge, underlying managerial issue, because a discussion should be had if a paid employee is unable to make what the team believes is the minimum activity. Both extremes claimed by both parties, i.e a full on scolding OR complete blind support are not viable solutions.

In short, either they're still not releasing the full reason for release (due to privacy or confidentiality reasons), or someone is lying. Regardless, the whole situation is underpinned by a much larger issue for the managing team.

NDAs:

Honestly, the fact that they weren't using NDAs right off the bat shocked me. In business (and a lot more frequently than you think) NDAs are used to preserve confidentiality within an organisation for a variety of reasons that I don't have time to cover. Depending on your labour laws however, they cannot be used to hide information regarding employee wages.

Quackity Studio's NDA was valid for the use of:

Protecting Copywrited Assets

Minimising Security Breaches and/or Risks

Protecting Storylines and "Lore Leaking"

Protecting the Privacy of team members and CCs

The NDA was *not* valid for:

Penalizing the formation of personal relationships (yes, even parasocial ones)

Communicating with other members of the team, even regarding Wages and Working Conditions

That isn't to say that the cases not covered by the NDA can't be called unprofessional (especially in the case of parasocial relationships) but they are not grounds for being sued.

You know what is grounds for being sued?

DOING A Q&A REGARDING SENSITIVE INFORMATION ON TWITTER!

The threats from QStudios from Lea's initial posts, while deeply unprofessional and drawing a fairly worrying image of the working environment, were just empty threats. Now that Lea has well and truly broken an Actual Signed NDA, this gets real complicated.

I'm not in law, so I'll leave it up to the armchair law students, but this is just a summary of my thoughts while reading up on the reply PDF.

Items not Covered:

Pay for the overall position (I do not know enough about french labour laws)

Treatment of staff who spoke out prior to Lea's statement (too much back and forthing)

Further Action:

Quackity Studios, please set up an account for statements and releases. I cannot emphasise how D-tier this is reading it through a brand new unbranded account.

ALSO GET YOUR CEO'S APPROVAL BEFORE POSTING A STATEMENT?

Staying Level-Headed

You know everyone was looking at qPhil coming back chanting “KILLZA KILLZA KILLZA” and like yeah we all want it, and we sort of got it through the initial chaos: the lava cast over the presidential building, the threats of further action against the Federation. It's not exactly the violent/furious rampage some might've been wanting or expecting, though.

And honestly? I'm glad---because it makes perfect sense.

Since the start, Phil has been very upfront about his thoughts concerning the egg situation. He knew and believed and repeatedly expressed (to his kids, sometimes!) that there was a very good chance they were going to die, or get taken away. He's always been very practical about death and treated it as an inevitable force that can't be evaded. Man, you can trace it back in his character so far. When the Nightmare happens, and Phil is holding a dying Chayanne in his arms, he says something to the effect of, "I'm so sorry, they just don't want you to live in this world."

A fact. A hard, cold, undeinable fact.

Phil is pragmatic. Married to Death. Hinted at having lived a long, long time; seen many things, outlived many people.

He is a survivor. And rule number one of being a survivalist: always be prepared to be faced with the cruel, the unfair, and the unexpected.

So, yes, of course it hurts. He never wanted his kids to be taken away from him---but he's braced for the blow. He has been mentally fortifying himself for a moment like this for months, and on another level, most of his life.

Thus, after he has a moment to allow himself to break, he takes a deep breath and keeps a level head. He talks to Tubbo and Fit, lets them fill him in on the situation, doesn't demand answers they don't have. When they tell him about how the island's president has gone off the deep end, Phil's immediate instinct is to believe the best in Forever and that he must be being manipulated by the Federation in some way. (Seriously! He draws that conclusion so fast! He immediately recognizes Forever as a victim rather than a threat or an enemy, despite Forever's position of power and "emotional unavailability.") And yeah, Phil instagates the lava cast, which is still griefing, but it's a localized, controllable form of griefing that is inflicted upon Federation territory only, and he follows it up with threats of further action with a viable plan. Then, he immediately plunges into an investigation of the old freezer/prison with Tubbo to look for any possible clues left behind.

Look, this isn't to say that the way that qPhilza---or ccPhilza, for that matter---is handling the situation "better" than anyone else, or that the other characters aren’t capable of making rational decisions. All of the other characters' various reactions, breakdowns, retaliations, and quests for answers are believable, well-played, and fascinating. (Like fuck dude the ccs are COOKING right now; and objectively speaking, the mines are pretty goddamn funny lol.) I just want to outline exactly why qPhil's reaction works so, so, so well for his character and why I'm ultimately glad that he didn't go all hyper-murdery, stewing about putting the Federation's heads on a pike or storming the Federation HQ or anything like that.

((Also, it's worth mentioning that all of his plans aren't """perfect""" decisions for the situation! Like his plan to play keep-away with Forever's briefcase of drugs until the effects of his last dose wear off. We know how unstable Forever becomes when the withdrawal starts to set in---he began to panic and pulled a gun on Phil. As terrible as the pills are for him, Forever becomes a danger to himself and the people around him when the medication wears off. He's so fragile right now, so if Phil going to try to get him to go cold-turkey, ideally, Phil would need to do it in a safer environment than just, fucking anywhere. Also Phil's follow-up plan is to assassinate Forever, potentially by taking advantage the apparent trust Forever has in Phil??? Like I get it, desperate times require desperate measures, and it still makes for an interesting story line that I would absolutely gobble up, but OW???? Like qPhil, bestie, are you sure that's the best plan in the long run????? Anyway, I digress.))

So that's about it. I miss my little huevos but I love this arc SO so much and I love pPhil and I have so many thoughts about him and I can't wait to see where this goes. Rambles over. Gn <3

HIIIII CAN I ASK ABOUT THE SIX YEARS LATER AU???

Howd they bring up the junior scouts idea to max??? Was he like Whatever sure or super tsundere or surprisingly emotional that they wanted him back after he aged out?? Did anyone else come back or do special day-long visits like how schools bring in visitors? What does max think of the new kids? They all look so cool i love Max's hair!!!!

HI HI HELLO YES OFC!!! :33

Okay so. I call it the '6 years later' AU but technically i have Stuff Planned for all the time that passed between now and then too, so this'll be a bit longer, sorry!!

Max joining the counselor team was actually kind of a natural/gradual development?? Basically, since I can't make CC content that isn't found family Max has a shit home life, and, even if he hates to admit it at first, the three months of summer camp become his bright spot each year. David and Gwen catch on to that, but there isn't much they can do to help outside of camp - until one day Max (age 13/14ish) shows up on Gwen's doorstep because he ran away from home, 'since his parents won't care either way'. While he does return home after hiding out at Gwen's place for a weekend, this kind of kicks off a pattern of Max running away sporadically, to Gwen's, later David's, or his friends places. I could go into more detail here but. this is already long. oop.

ANYWAYS. So with Max spending basically all the time he can away from home and the summers at camp, once he ages out there's. A Bit of panic starting in him once summer gets closer again, because his Safe Place seems inaccessible, and two of his OTHER options, especially for longer stays away from home, would also be unavailable. Gwen and David notice this (it manifests in Max staying over More but Angrier) and try to find a solution. Gwen proposes the Jr Counselor idea. They introduce the idea to Max by kinda implying that workload around camp is a lot, and it'd really hurt to miss one of their most experienced campers, but... maybe, if he worked there too (well, interned. basically unpaid. but! no camp tuition!) he could help them? so they basically give Max a way to say yes without admitting that he's the one who needs camp the most. He does insult the whole thing ofc, and says like he's just doing it because he knows camp would burn down without him there ("actually, most of the fires we had were started by you...?" "shut it, david") but secretly he's really really happy. He might even thank them later that evening. Quietly. Before complaining about it preemptively. <3

WAH THATS ALREADY SUCH A WALL OF TEXT ok ill hurry up w the rest:

While most of the other campers had some rotations over the years, I don't have conk rete plans for most of them - Nikki and Neil are still Max' gang, and returned for multiple summers, if not all. This year though, Neil is busy with college prep, and Nikki is spending the summer at home because of family crisis. They still video call a lot, they're still The Gang. I have sketched designs for them, but I'm not quite happy yet.

Max at first doesn't take his role seriously, because he's basically just Back For Another Summer, but pretty quickly realises Gwen and David DO have expectations, and DO give him responsibilities. He takes a while to come around on his new relationship to the younger kids, and especially one of the youngest kids takes a liking to him, a very anxious young girl, which annoys him at first, but... well. It's a whole ~character arc~ for Max waiting to happen tbh.

OK THANK YOU IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR IM SORRY ITS SO LONG. i wasnt lying when i said i have So Many Thoughts about this. ANYWAYS as thank u for getting this far heres a doodle of Max putting up his hair. :3c
