Going to the Concert Made Me Wanna Watch the Show Again

My comment so far on the pilot: We needed more Mr. X - especially him randomly appearing and teaching dances.

My mum's (aka my concert buddy) comment so far on the pilot: Logan hasn't aged a day (and she also thought James was wearing a wig)

Redefining Building

Kulo Sena is well on its way to being something resembling an uberhood, with four subhoods, two "downtowns" as regions of the Spirit World, one university (also representing the Spirit World, and there are at least three more in the pipelines) and way too many lots to build. And you know me and building.

Here's the thing, though: I've been on a major text-string replacing kick in my TS2 game. I've replaced strings for the names of the seasons, the days of the week, all the romantic interactions, the zodiac signs, you name it. All to give my game more of a fantasy flavour, reflecting the worldbuilding I've already done for it, and also to help me feel more at ease with romance as a gameplay element.

So I was chatting with my mum this evening, and we were talking about doing the same sort of thing for my own view of building - reframing it as something other than a tedious chore that I have to keep doing because no downloaded lots ever meet my sims' needs. Here's what we've come up with...

If you play TS2 as a life simulator (as opposed to a building simulator or a shooter) then you are probably the kind of player who loves your sims. Like I am. Therefore, building is an act of kindness. It's what you do to ensure that your sims don't starve or freeze on an empty lot, and that's what makes the actual playing bit possible. And if, like me, you loathe the task, even if you're only building for pixels... that makes it closer to a truly selfless or charitable act.

With that worked out, I'm actually motivated to get the first few households somewhere to live... yay! It just goes to show that the language we use to describe things and the stories we tell ourselves about what those things signify are immensely powerful. And on that note, I'm off to nurture my sims by giving them a roof over their heads. :)

my mum complained about how we dont do fun stuff anymore because of phones and the internet but when we lost my dad in the giant hardware store i offered to go exploring to find him and she was like "nah ill just call him ^-^". ok hypocrite. who is truly lacking whimsey and zest for real life between us?

Dude, I love my mum so much. I was feeling extremely overwhelmed because my room was a mess, I was stinky and sweaty after being in Australia sun, I was tired, sad, feeling generally pretty blue, so of course I told her, (reminder it’s quite late and just after Christmas celebration) and she offered to clean my room while I took a shower, and I did, and now I feel great. My room is cleaned, and I just wanted to tell somebody about this because I want everyone to know I love her and she’s the best mum ever.

Silly conversation I had

Mum — "I was gonna buy you some Captain America comics for Christmas, but they're so expensive! Who's even buying these?"

Me — "Homophobic cis white men who live in their mum's basement."

Mum — "Obviously, but that's not what I meant."
