Yeah I’m really worried that Sims 5 will just be worse. They’ve been trying to push that online-only multiplayer thing (which is part of why Sims 4 sucks) and they’ve been making gameplay simpler and simpler. They still don’t have a burglar in 4 and have responded that burglars are too “adult”. Sims 1 had burglars.…

Yeah, it’s mostly just visuals. There are some great mods out there, but they’ve been providing fewer and fewer things in each pack. We’re lucky if we get one new career in an expansion and some like in Eco Lifestyle don’t even make sense. Not to mention the lack of whims is new packs is super lazy. I feel like the…

I think a lot of the not-greatness stems from deciding to dump most of the plot points of the comic so the tone is bizarre. They started with the Ms. Wardwell possession, but apparently having her father only pretend to be summoning Satan to get ahead, putting a spell on her mother so she’d be sent to an insane…

I thought they’d do more with Adam dying since that seems like the biggest loss from her possession by Lilith. But the show seems to have trouble acknowledging that what Lilith did was bad so having her actions have consequences seems difficult for them

They’ve mostly been kind of boring creatures too considering they’re supposed to be lovecraftian. This one was probably the most interesting with the scene where they thought they got rid of it and it almost kills the biology class, but generally they don’t have a clear enough theme or sense of one being even worse…

Yeah it’s pretty fucked up that she considers herself “his ex-girlfriend” and considers that sexual relationship more important than her relationship to her siblings (which she doesn’t even seem to believe are really her siblings)

Yeah it seemed like a waste of the fact they changed her from a WWII hero to a WWI hero- WWI was way more ambiguous and having every German be evil is just lazy. I thought WW was ok but yeah I thought it could have been much better. It had some fun action set pieces and I like Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman fine (at least…

Yeah- and the trend of “minor female villain and male villain actually in charge” across 2 movies so far is not great. I particularly thought Dr. Poison could have been used more as she was a really interesting character with a cool look and Ares was super boring. I still think Diana realizing Ares didn’t need to be…

At least with that Nick show he’s probably going to qualify for the Coogan Law- I’ve heard some mixed things about whether most Youtube child stars do (I think it otherwise only applies to kids that happen to live in California). Like Nastya lives in Florida now so I don’t think she’d qualify

Personally someday I’d love to get something like a big heated soaking tub so I could take long baths without fiddling with the water and could stretch out as much as I wanted

Yeah I’m mainly a car listener too but I’m still driving in to do testing for work so I’m sure I’ll listen to more than I’d like (which would be either none or just “Father Christmas, Give Us Some Money” and “Don’t Shoot Me Santa Claus”). And less time shopping indoors means fewer annoying Christmas songs which is a…

Yeah I hate it more than “The Christmas Shoes”, mostly because they play “Do They Know It’s Christmas” way more around me and especially way more commercially so I can’t escape it. It’s the most insulting charity song. They just had to write a song about why you should help feed hungry people and they wrote one about…

Also the areas that aren’t Christian (and most of Africa observes some form of Christianity) are Muslim (or a little bit Jewish). And the non-Christians aren’t any worse off for not knowing that it’s Christmas, because they don’t care about Christmas nor should they have to. 

Yeah I figure it must attract statistically enough people that it’s worth all those commercials (though some might go to the dealership to get the car as a “present”). But there must be a lot of people in debt to their eyeballs

I mean I can kind of see the people who’d use the ‘elf quarantine’ or negative COVID-19 test this year, as I’ve actually already seen children debating among one another, basically unprompted, whether the Elf could have the “virus”

Yeah it didn’t offend me the way it apparently did a lot of people- I thought it was stupid, but no stupider (and possibly less offensive) than shit like “We are the World” or even worse “Do they Know It’s Christmastime” which somehow makes the fact that they don’t have snow in most of Africa seem just as bad as the…

Yeah- and a similar thing happens in shopping centers where the biggest store hasn’t been filled in a while. Nice places don’t want to be next to that- you start seeing more dollar stores and like cash for gold stuff popping up and then you’re even less likely to go in. Yeah even though the movies are like $14 for a…

My only problem with roller disco is I’m very clumsy. Is there a roller skate version of those adult tricycles? 

Yeah it’s like the decline of Macy’s etc- except less their fault since it’s pretty impressive they made it this long with a sudden 90% reduction in service from a global pandemic. When enough of the ‘anchor stores’ at the mall closed, all the little stores started to close, then the whole mall had to close, then the…

We could save everything if we can just bring back disco
