Fun fact: Banned from the discord for a week, in part because I suggest they not do paywalled information from here on out. No, I'm not kidding- it's one of the listed reasons. Another was telling people earlier previews were most likely faked not-in-the-game content, with examples and reasoning.

The worst indicator of fake price increases gotta be pop. Or soda, if you're nasty. How in the hell can a 2 liter of pepsi be 3 dollars regular price? How. Explain it. A 20oz is also somehow nearing 2.50. The ingredients in this stuff cost nothing, and STILL cost nothing. Why is the price higher?

the @thegameawards.com website is so fundamentally broken i dont know how they get any votes at all. It took me 20 minutes to vote for 11 categories and the page has now entirely stopped progressing. none of the "next" buttons do anything, even after reloading or opening in a new browser lol

Lol Lmao

Alright boys lets get in there and promote our cau- it did not go well

hey guys download @lumpinou.bsky.social 's law and disorder mod lmao I got sent to jail for 3 days after poorly representing myself in court as "not guilty" for punching a townie for being randomly generated

i love this font

you are a bug and i am going to give you the landlord special

I just learned Disney's anime bullshit series Twisted Wonderland has an Oogie Boogie design in it now and he's a kansai dialect (I think? It'd make sense) speaker with piercings and the face of your best friend's slutty step dad and WOW oh my GOD

bluesky just showed me a magic the gathering post on the discover page because i called marjorie taylor greene a cunt you're doing amazing sweetie

Me: I can't wait to rush through A Realm Reborn so I can, for the 4th time, get to the content after it! Actually Me: Ok so I'm level 36 Paladin and level 31 THM, not yet BLM, but I don't know if I want to stick to either of those, so I haven't even STARTED the fucking awful sylph quests yet...

so here's a thread of a bunch of fucking morons responding to a question about line delivery with silent moving pictures

Hoping my sims lull is over. I'm playing as an angry protester who is poor and rallying for "Simoleons For All". Give me money. But not in a begging way, in a fuck the establishment but also yes im very poor way. I wanna become a 5 star celebrity through politics! I've never done this career.

I made christmas tree cake dip and dipped a cheese stick in it

On The Nature of The Sims A philosophical explanation of what I think makes The Sims a genre in its own right, and how competitors/imitators- like Paralives, for a relevant example- seem to miss the "point" of games like this, and could benefit from a closer look. www.patreon.com/posts/143607...

You can sign up to the Paralives Patreon for 7 days for free. In doing so, you can view their first real Gameplay stream, which is part of the reason the game got delayed 6 months today. The stream is rough. It's beyond rough. It's "probably not ready for early access in 6 months" rough. It's bad.

I've been calling this for months. They clearly weren't confident in the product they have, and now they've said as much openly. Big props for owning up, and I'm excited to see actual true gameplay footage at the end of the month. It's about time!

I know we all go through it but I don't LIKE being in that "I don't feel like playing the Sims for a couple months" phase.

Why doesn't every Sims 4 item have this level of texture quality? Look how gorgeous this is. It's so smooth

At this point why does Sims 4 content even come with swatches at all? If everything's this muted, nothing needs to have color selection anymore. Just give us one muted brown and a big middle finger. I miss the rainbows. I miss the variety. I miss the patterns. I'm so tired of beige bullshit

these travertine tiles, francine? these travertine tiles? oh my god, these travertine tiles, francine, oh my god, these travertine tiles, oh my god

Krafton is offering employees who are uncomfortable with the company being "Ai first" voluntary resignation severance packages. But watch the silence from the simfluencers on this one. If Inzoi survives this, gaming is just done. The whole industry is fucked. automaton-media.com/en/news/kraf...

Every so often I see posts on reddit of guys "making the move" or "finally getting over it", referring to shaving their head bald because their hair was thinning. And they're always celebrated as "looking so much better". But they clearly thought they looked good, right? How do they FEEL about it?

conservatives are actually just completely and utterly buttfucking braindead these are comments on "orange fuckwad told the patron saint of pedophiles to stop recruiting victims from his spa" they decided this means "he was standing up to a bad guy" and not "he was upset to lose his own victims"

Good lord, Virginia Guiffre? jesus christ. holy fuck though how is that specific detail not the top news on all news platforms in half the world? holy shit oh my god

So what's gonna actually get people to recognize that the Raw Dawg Comics guy is a piece of shit? Cuz openly advocating for violence in response to perceived cheating in a relationship didn't. how about actively shitting on self-diagnosis? will that do it? www.reddit.com/r/rawdawgcom...

my cat is on meds and thinks he is god now

when I listen to Magic Tavern my brain NEVER imagines arnie as hot as he actually is i guess his character art on shirts and merch and stuff is more schlubby but LOOK at this MAN

just spent 40 minutes reading reddit posts on kitty cat prozac because frankly my vet did NOT tell me ANY expected side effects or how it would work, and I was terrified my cat had been lost to the sauce after a week of it. Turns out it takes 3-6 weeks to "normalize" and be themselves again. I hope!

Hey. Dumb question. With all the talk about health insurance premiums...uh, Open Enrollment already happened and closed. So...any potential increases after december, those are *next year's* thing, not going to change the stuff we *just signed up for*, or...? How does this work

10 games to get to know me the sims the sims 2 the sims 3 the sims 4 the sims makin magic the sims 2 open for business the sims 3 world adventures the sims 4 get famous the sims 4 crystal creations the sims 4 businesses and hobbies

did you know that the Kinect Sports theme song sounds like the Persona 3 battle theme if it were run through a filter that turns it into music played by, and for, dogs raised by clowns? now you do

Well...the musical vibe is generally pretty different (It took until the pirates area to hear Skyscrapers, which IMO is the first "Katamari-like" song in the game), and the gameplay is built off the mobile games, which means the physics/pickup/knocking mechanics are all different (worse), but yeah

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

yo what the fuck hey WHAT the FUCK though? what the FUCK

I have decided that Roegadyn look bad in most outfits and rebranded to standard human man except still a caveman

saw a video explaining how to make normal ol' bread for slicing and sandwiches on a budget because people may be very food insecure at the moment. the recipe necessitated specialized bread pans someone who doesnt make bread wont have and a 250 dollar stand mixer great job

old art be upon thee

"Im not particularly interested in Paralives until they start putting out actual gameplay footage after years of machinima, faked scenes, and abandoned concepts all time-gated behind paywalls, so I can judge it by what it is, and not potential and wish farts" "why do you hate small companies???"

hey @finalfantasyxiv.bsky.social can you stop kicking people out of the game over and over today thanks

congrats to the coal miners in west virginia, who overwhelmingly voted for people who want them near death if it means shaving a few bucks off the mining process, on getting exactly what they voted for: being near death to shave a few bucks off the mining process. must be nice to get what you want!

It would cost Walmart about 90 million to raise wages to take all their employees off these benefits. 21 billion dollars minus 90 million dollars is still 21 billion dollars. They could raise those wages the same amount another 9 times and still only be out 1 billion in profits down to 20 billion.

So they finally release the first main DLC, nearly 2 years late, and alongside it, they devastate traffic and commercial infrastructure to the point where the game is essentially unplayable, bloated with pedestrians and cars, destroying performance. Then make it free to play for a weekend? Really?

Playing #FinalFantasyXIV as my Caveman OC Gliff. He came into posession of a grimoire, which was actually a mimic, that taught him to wield fire, making him the inventor of fire and possibly inventor of human-wielded magic. He "burned down his whole cave" before overcompensating and freezing in ice.

They say that from space the Earth looks like a small blue ball, but how did it look to you, Laika?

i have the distinct feeling that paralives' "we're shutting down our patreon and also all future content will be free and also early access will take 2 years minimum" development plan is going to backfire spectacularly...based purely on the math. How many sales are they expecting to get, I wonder?

Love when all the games I play get updates that break basic concepts and you just don't get to know if or when they'll ever work again. It's very rare sims 4 legitimately gets a "game breaking" bug but "sims rot to death while at work and school" kinda does destroy a huge chunk of the game. Christ

Had to share this from twitter just because
