Wait for a sale. I don't play this game but I've heard Sims 4 add-ons sometimes get discounts on the Origin website or elsewhere.

And what do you mean by changing locations?

I want to try using VPN to change my location, the prices are different in every country, but I do not know if it is worth trying because I read I can get easily banned.

Just torrent it you pleb

Alternatively maybe you can get a used gamecube copy for cheap

visual is nice, but I'm so picky about my visual smut. written however, I can make exceptions

Any tips to make playing Sims 4 more fun? Specifically without using mods? I just started a new legacy challenge but got bored again. I used to be able to play for hours but now I’m having trouble.

Make a scripted story with multiple families. Use cheats to create/play more unique families than "struggling young adults" or "rich family with a fuck ton of kids and the motherlode cheat". Maxis nerfed a bunch of the skill cheats so its not as fun making a master chef grandma or a kid with the logic skill or whatever, but the career cheats are there and that's ok I guess.
Everyone says cheats make the game less fun, I think it makes it easier to tell stories. The sims is not that "difficult" of a game and it isn't meant to be hard, so any challenges to make it harder are just dumb imo.

>>4729
Same, it's like I don't have any imagination left. Also S4 feels more "goal oriented" and that just makes me want to grind skills and whatnot which is not as fun as just fucking around in S3.

I've ended up just building houses based off of nonsensical challenges, and let random sims run wild and free on them.

It usually ends in chaos if you build multiple houses on the small lot as a kind of mini neighborhood. I love love love doing tiny home challenges.

>>4734
I actually really like this idea anon thank you! It kinda reminds me of when I made a huge neighborhood in Sims 2 with a bunch of sims with detailed stories/backgrounds that all intertwined. I kinda find this harder to do in the Sims 4 though because you can't really create neighborhoods, but rather use the ones that are already made.

To keep in line w/ this thread I usually like to play simulator type games (Stardew Valley, Sims, Animal Crossing, etc.) or basically games that allow a lot of customization. I also wanna get more into JRPGS.
As of right now I've been playing a lot of Mario Party 9 actually lol. I found my old copy with my friend the other day and now I just really want to unlock all the constellations, cars, and other fun things.

Can anyone recommend a free game for Mac in the vein of oldschool JRPGs like Secret of Mana/Evermore?

>>3407
>black and white
Wich animal did you have as your Creature?

Been playing too much Destiny and Warframe.
But also some JRPG's like Wild Arms and Last Ranker.
Can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077 and Death Stranding.

Been playing a lot of Age of Empires 3 lately. I love the building and civilization aspect of it. I have the War Chief DLC and game on CD right now but I think im gonna cave in and just buy the whole game on steam soon.

>>4723
lmao just pirate it

What about video related?

I know this thread is dead but I want to contribute. It is sometimes energetic but overall I find it to be chill. Its Care by Temporex, hope it counts and would reccomend to listen to it on spotify so he gets some monetization.

>>4707

This is nice. And I found a lot of other chill music from the Spotify(tm) playlist. But seriously, thanks.

There is nothing the matter with watching some series dubbed, but I know you just wanted to shitpost.

A bunch of VA's and Content Creators just pulled out of a con that has Vic as a guest.

As always with these things, I'm going to wait until the real legal shit goes down before making any judgements.
Kinda sad if such a high-profile anime VA really did do any or all of what he's been accused of. Not a big fan of dubs in the first place, but I'm going to viciously separate Junpei and Ed in my mind from the actor if it ends up being true. I can't let go of my young teen years and fictional idol that easily.

I like his dubs. Edward will always be my husband no matter what vic does though lol. I see a lot of people saying to pull the shows off of like Netflix and Hulu and like… fucking don't. Just because he's shitty doesn't mean you gotta pull a good show. I believe some of it is true but probably not all of it. He does seem kind of creepy ngl but god damn is his voice nice.

It was definitely the right call to save Brothers K for last! I feel like it contains pieces of all his other novels in it, so having already read them made it a richer experience.

>my secret
Idiot savant, probably. Apparently I taught myself to read when I was 3.

>>4376
I liked Crime & Punishment a lot more than I thought I would at first - the first Dostoevsky I ever read was The Idiot, which has his most idealistic and sympathetic protagonist (to me, anyway). Raskolnikov is probably his 2nd most sympathetic protagonist - depends on where you put Alexei from Brothers K - but also, I think, the only one who manages to be endearing and pitiable in his evil.

Currently almost done with The Book of Disquiet, which has been a slow and meandering read, but very beautiful.

Stuff I read in the last two weeks:

>Homage to Catalonia, Orwell
>V., Pynchon
>Turing's Cathedral, Dyson
>Gogol [collected short stories]
>Fathers and Sons, Turgenev
>One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich, Solzhenitsyn

Solzhenitsyn also wrote "The Gulag Archipelago", which I'm going to start reading tonight. His novel was really similar to Dostoevsky's Notes from a Dead House - two Russian authors, two ""fictional"" accounts of the convict labor camps, different era. The regimes come and go, but the gulag remains…

>>4713
You read all of that only in the past two weeks, anon? Makes me wish I still had the motivation to read. I used to be able to read novels in succession like that but now I can barely force myself to read a single chapter.

>>4714
no the anon you're replying to but i usually force myself to read at least 10 pages a day and sometimes i read more because i get into it. its not much but its at least 300 a month which isnt bad

>>4714

Don't feel bad, anon. I'm a NEET housekeeper with too much free time. Also, three of the books I got through are quite short - one day[…], fathers and sons, and homage to catalonia were all very easy to read.

>>4556
The question was "Should someone's actions be excused if they make stuff that's popular" and the anon's response was "Anyone who likes their stuff is stupid anyway / anyone who lets themselves be mistreated is stupid anyway". It's not really a contribution because it doesn't pertain to the actual question asked.

>>4557
How are these not on topic though?
>The answer is yes. Art surpasses the artist.
>But yes, I do support boycotting the fuck out of Hollywood. Fuck the actress, fuck the director, fuck them all.

It's an edgy post but it has clearly stated opinions directly related to the topic the OP gave (also the OP's topic is slightly different than yours, it's "do you think the artist can ever be separated from the art?")

What about MJ?
>>>/x/1191

Anyone gonna watch the new doc?

Art is an expression of the artist and can encompass any number of that artist's traits. Had that artist lacked some of those traits, even the negative ones, his or her work might have been completely different.
For instance, Lovecraft's fear of the unknown is what lead him to write his iconic mythos, but it also made him uncomfortable with sex, minorities, and mathematics.

So, if you find something you really like that was made by a not-so-good, or downright sick and evil, person, treat it as a learning experience. The line between good and evil does not run between people. It runs down the middle of every man and woman's heart.

With that said, little of what Hollywood produces is actually worth this sort of consideration. It's garbage made by garbage people to reaffirm terrible attitudes in society. Don't consume it.

>>4632
That is a good way of looking at it, made me reconsider what I am consuming.

I also do think that there is a type of fan who would in the rise of the #metoo movement exposing artists for their terrible behaviour, deny at all costa that their fave is not a rapist, abuser & etc. I tend to see this attude if denial perfectly in xxxtentacion stans.
>x's gf comes out during a short spit with pictures of her battered face surfacing on the internet caused by x
>x would be found guilty in court of abuse and would serve his time
>x's fans called her fake and made rumors that she admitted it was fake
>she would on and off have a relationship with x after he got released from prison ( thinking that she might have been emotionally reliant on him despite abuse ) fans again call her fake
>x dies from shooting and his ex tries to attend a memorial
>gets harassed from fans to leave, may have been attacked and has a breakdown online
>some random cultish stans who dont know shit called her fake again and pretended to know x didn't abuse her
>months later, audio from x in prison, he verbally admit to physically abusing his ex multiple times
>nobody seemed to care or react

Sadly the extreme fans would go to convince themselves that their idol is not disgusting.

jfc that tumblr clone has a UI worse than the original

just use twitter, it's the same shit but better unless you're interested in things beyond standposts and memes

I think twitter is the only good option, everything else is suited for teenagers and it'd be cringe to be there.

>>4700
>>4701
twitter's character limits are a huge pain, and twitter is full of cringe teens too
