Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

From what I've gathered, Sims 4 improved the most in regards to socializing and interaction between other sims, but as far as customization and making your ideal living scenario, 3 beats all.

Random Trains(of thoughts..and not)

First, lab was awesome, mostly cause I actually knew what I was doing. I expected to go there and be like the IdontknowwhatImdoing dog, instead I was more like the chemist-cat.

Then some dude on the train walked up to me and randomly kissed me(on the lips).

Are these social faux pas a regular occurrence in Italy? Some of these things are unfathomable, yet people do these awful things all the time it seems.

Well here's your present then.

I hope lover boy got a swift kick to the nuts from seha.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone (well all the US people anyway). I'm at work, so time and a half for the next 7 hours, then double time for 18. For some reason the day after Thanksgiving is holiday rate, but Christmas eve is not.

So I'm getting paid to duck out on my family. Only downside is I can't drink at work ._.;

I have more to come, but I rather wait til you've all been good little boys and girls.

I'm extremely non violent. I just stared confused and shaked my head to comunicate "I'm not up for it" and he walked away.

Yeah.

Wow new chapters of Dragons Rioting, it's been ages since last one!

Yah, essentially they cleaned up many of the errors that made Sims 3 such an inevitable memory-dump. Sims 3 featured an open-ended story mode that tracked each and every Sim in a game-world and what they were doing and where they were at any given point, which allowed for fantastic levels of interactions and progression, but which ultimately created unwieldy amounts of data complications as game-saves progressed (to the point where the game would no longer save or would crash on its own after much gameplay.)

Sims 4 opted instead for Sims 2 type 'neighborhood sub-instances' (instead of a seamless global neighborhood) which would then populate NPC sims for which the player could interact, which improves game performance, but at the cost of that 'Story Mode' progression (and adding the necessity of loading screens when moving across instances.)

This irked the heck out of the Sims 3 faithful, but of course made the Sims 2 faithful rather happy.

The other gripe, of course, many had was that as far as a "base game" was concerned, Sims 4 was very bare. It didn't have many of the features native to even Sims 2 or 3 or even 1, as a base game (no swimming or swimsuits even, and occupations are back to being rabbit-hole type places your Sims disappear off to, as if it were Sims 1 again.)

While it's inevitable that EA will add such functionality in later expansions, many saw this (cynically, but quite rightfully so, I think) as an EA expansion/DLC-money grab--i.e. offer bare minimums then make people buy all the parts later. :/

So it was really a lackluster launch for something many really were hoping would be something more. But insofar as the game exists, the inter-sim interactions are really neat for sure. Whether that creates enough play-ability to keep people interested until the necessary expansions come out is something else, especially with so many other games competing with it. :/

TLDR: People didn't like instances and too bare a base game, but it fixed core issues with the Sims 3 game architecture. If you are willing to wait for expansions, it will probably be very cool (eventually.)

Rrrrrraaaamses~ The man in gauze, the man in gauze~

Happy Thanksgiving :3

Is that Thanksgiving thing today? So should I assume my American comrades will not be joining me on Vana'diel tonight?

It's in there...

^_~

Luckily, Jaerik is absent.

I'm confused, is he back from being Snake?

you should make some AH people and stream it yo

People who play MMORPGs are not aware of holidays of any kind unless it brings them free things and only momentarily(we call this the "AFK rq" or "brb rq" response)only to return to heal their group(you know who you are....)...........speaking of which they also are not ones for social gatherings outside of things called "RAIDS" or "dungeons"

tldr; They should be on~

that actually sounds like a great idea lol, I'll have to see if I can stream (my program still half the time won't let me... still can't figure out why)

Then try and ship Seha and Comeatmebro :3

Napped, showered and fed, the world is a brighter place now.

Didn't do any homework, but that's what the weekend is for right?

Let's also squeeze a salvage into this weird day.

Seha, you could've joined in on commentary last night.
