Good thing I installed Mint on her PC then.

Pretty much. All I want is to be able to pay money to legally download old Nintendo games as simple ROM files, is that too much to ask?

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.

Probably, but then again, if you enjoy making art then just do it. It doesn't have to be beautiful, it doesn't even have to be good, as long as it makes you happy it is worth doing.

We need a yellow evil Ubuntu and a purple evil Green Ubuntu to complete the set

If you don't appreciate a good stick are you even alive?

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.

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.

What do you mean? Kbin is nice.

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.

Shut up Walter, let us have jaguars, llamas, maned wolves and coatis!

And vice-versa.
