They’re talking about Dungeons & Dragons, it’s kind of a tabletop game where one player (the Dungeon Master, or DM) basically creates adventures for the other players. It’s very nerdy but very fun and also takes a lot of time.

Or Breath of the Wild. It was a launch title for the Switch but also had a version for the Wii U.

Can current Windows even work with 2GB of RAM?

Moby - Porcelain. I don’t even know why but it always destroys me.

The original OpenOffice is no longer in development. LibreOffice is an active fork of that.

There’s a guy making an ATLA fangame for quite some time now.

Ooh boy, do I have some good news for you!

Rogueli*es

All 4 of them, really. Those games are made of hard decisions. Also QTEs, but mostly hard decisions.

I can see why people think European Portuguese sounds Russian but this is the first time I’ve seen anyone say the same about Brazilian Portuguese.

Even in winter you’ll hardly ever see snow anywhere in Brazil yet our christmas decorations would make you think this is Northern Canada lol

Damn. I was thinking this was an external door at some Antarctic research station since the weather there can get really harsh but I suppose just opening the door wouldn’t be actually that dangerous.

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.

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
