Having North Korea as their only neighbour doesn’t help though
I don’t know what makes you think South Americans are not under US influence cause I can tell you things in Brazil look exactly the same: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter… well, Whatsapp is also absurdly popular around here but I don’t think it qualifies.
I bet MS agrees with you which is probably why they’ve bought Bethesda and Activision Blizzard.
Good thing I installed Mint on her PC then.
Writers, no matter how good, are just regular people. I have much higher expectations and not as much patience towards a game studio with infinite money and no released games whatsoever in over a decade.
Would be my choice as well. The Wii had an amazing library by itself and could also play GC games out of the box, it’s a pretty good deal even without hacks.
On PC I must’ve spent thousands of hours playing The Sims, the first and second ones. They had fantastic soundtracks and were very chill experiences where you couldn’t really lose and didn’t rely on reflexes or strategy. Above all else I’ve always enjoyed being able to build cool houses. I would barely even play with the Sims themselves, I was mostly just creating families to not leave my houses empty. I had entire neighbourhoods made from scratch, all with wildly different houses with wildly different people living in them. I lost all my data a couple of times but I always kept the CD around with the key code written on it so I’d just reinstall and start rebuilding from scratch (that disc is probably still in my bedroom somewhere). Just selecting an empty lot and spending an entire afternoon building a cool house on it, then making a family to live there and putting all the furniture in place. Rinse and repeat, life was good.
I’d later go on to play other games that allowed me to build stuff trying to scratch that same creative itch. Mostly other Maxis games such as SimCity 3000 and Spore (never got into Sims 3 as it didn’t run well on my PC) but also Minecraft, which was all the rage and would go on to consume countless hours of my life. A few years later I also tried Sims 4, which did run well (on a newer computer tbf), but also felt so limited with the small fixed-view non-customizable neighbourhoods. It’s baffling to me that 4 couldn’t have the same features 2 had a decade earlier. Oh well, at least the building tools are much better than 2’s, so there was that.
Tl;dr: I like The Sims. The first couple ones, not the last couple ones.
We need a yellow evil Ubuntu and a purple evil Green Ubuntu to complete the set
Brazil’s energy will be 270% clean by 2030
Fucking hell, I had no idea and I love this game. This is where I draw the line, I’m joining the Epic hate train now.
if dolphins could survive on freshwater
Well, you’re in luck cause these guys already exist
If not friend then why friend-shaped?
Meanwhile, a couple hundred km down in the south of the country it has been raining non-stop for like two months now, with some small towns in valleys having been completely destroyed by floods. The climate here is all wrong, this is not normal.
I don’t think the locals are too worried about Japanese imperialism.
I had the same hope back in 2018 when Bolsonaro was elected in Brazil. Maybe this guy is just pretending to be insane and will be more reasonable once he’s president. I know better now.
cheaper
If only
Same. To this day I can’t listen to Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado without being thrown back to 2006 cause my cousin had bought that CD on release and played it all the time.
Yeah, I think geography is the main point here. As it stands, China’s coast is fully surrounded by American allies in Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines and owning Taiwan could give them control of the surrounding waters allowing their cargo ships to safely pass through if things get ugly with the US.
They’ll never get Vietnam.
