As someone who has played almost every iteration of the Sims and have been waiting for a decent alternative,,, AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I'll be free from the shackles of giving EA money for a half assed DLC's and stuff packs

Just looked it up, it looks cool :) might play it as well once it comes out

I CAN'T WAITTTTTTTTT

@jeanne yesss please dooo!! There won't be pets in the initial release for early access but it'll come with later update and they won't pack it into a paid dlc!!

@callie hell yeahhh!! Literally been waiting for 7 years since their first teaser trailer TvT

https://youtu.be/v0RkQUG24U4?si=qSUkIcfSzFUy2VLS ,, https://youtu.be/v0RkQUG24U4?si=nwgXkv3jiNCK3A-o the paramaker and build mode is just ksjkdksaksdjkksdskdk

that's actually insane i didn't even realise it's been that long T.T i think the wait was 100% worth it tho!

I'm procrastinating on making mine because I need to get my heavy printer-with-a-scanner out and I need to accumulate more things to scan ;p

Ugh, I so feel that. My scanner's sadly kicked the bucket tho...

feeling this in my core lol

Best viewed through the main page I think

holy shit that's so cool

@her-letters TY! Hopefully things are working well on your end

nothing's bugging out for me as far as i can tell, u're all good :D

Fuck it I'm going to bed

sleep well dude

good choice tbh

Oh boy, I ended up rolling in bed for 2 hours then came back to my desk HAHAHAHA

🤡🤡🤡

Omg idk which is worst... colour or b/w. Cleaning was a PAIN!!! I'm glad my blog reminds you of a good past. It was (and still is tbh) difficult finding people who love the same subgenre and interests! Being in a scan group felt like community :,)

Aghh so cool. I always wanted to work with romance mangas/manhuas but at the time their scanlation groups were always full!! Also I was absolutely the worst member in my group. I tried my hardest but I always turned in my tasks late xD But when the 1000th chapter came along no one dared to work on it because of that horrific colored cover and I had to step in.. Gosh those were the days!

Really? I have never seen a group turn people away :o ) I always late too haha and I get Discord spammed... That redraw was... CLEAN (mangakas love to make it hard for scanlators)! Redrawers and translators are literally the pillars of scanlations!!! RESPECT o7

For the scanlation groups that I wanted to join at least,, OR I didn't try hard enough. TYTY <333

"Influencers are not just people who sell things. They are the thing being sold." interesting so even though they're paid to do that there is still something about them that's being "sold" since usually they say if something is free, like a service, you're the product 🤔 i liked his performance for the nostalgia & it felt like a chill hangout but there *is* something unsettling about his whole career being recorded

specifically for consumption, i'd be happy if i had everything of my life backed up for me, but not publicly to sell and have scrutinized forever... being an influencer sounds like it sucks what are you influencing if anything *you* are being influenced by everyone and everything for the sake of your livelihood

@Grey Saw your post about his Coachella performance last month! I totally enjoyed it as well but was really really nagged about the idea of it being a power move or something that was the complete opposite... the word 'influencer' has always been a bit of a con to me. You're not influencing anything, you're being continuously shaped by an audience, an algorithm, and a brand deal, all at once.

The product is you but you don't own any of it...

Well said. Especially as someone who has been (unfortunately) studying business as a part of their major, you really see what...they think of creatives & how they'll do anything in their power to commodify you or (with the rise of AI) replace you. Not to mention how they treat the everyday worker (had a professor explain why unions were bad & why they shouldn't be a thing)

But all of that to say that dehumanization economically & financially makes its way into our culture & media. How they treat what gets regurgitated to us through all screens or radios--& how even though something like Bieber did could just be normal to someone not batting an eye, it's really eye opening to the state of culture in our modern day, speaking from an U.S perspective. idk if that made sense. bazinga.

absolutely elegant segue from biebs to 9/11 and back again. i loved your final call to arms to make weird stuff. a counterculture is still possible, i think???

@lee made total sense very well said!!

@anthill TY I was worried that it felt out of left field for everyone so that's reassuring.

I do think we're already in the early stages of a counterculture, honestly — the indie web is a pretty good sign of that. But it's too early to tell where it's headed or whether it'll hold.

The tricky thing is that countercultures run on the feeling of being part of something exclusive, something not everyone has found yet and the second that feeling gets too big, the machine notices and comes for it. The hipsters went through exactly that cycle. So did punk. So did every subculture that ever meant something. The question is whether this one is small and slippery enough to survive,,,

And yours is absolutely beautiful! Consider me a fan. Thanks as well~

Thank you! c: I see peak on your site brb
