listen i Get why people don't want to pre-order games and 100% agree that its bad for game companies to assume things will sell based on name vs content/execution or not wanting to support bioware after the sudden layoffs + denying severance employees were entitled to, all of this i agree with, 100%
but i have seen like 6 separate posts saying "LOOK HOW ABSURD THE ROOK'S COFFER PERK IS, $150 AND IT DOESN'T EVEN COME WITH THE GAME, IT'S INSANE WHAT GAME COMPANIES EVEN DO THESE DAYS" and like that is just completely missing the point
you can absolutely buy versions of it with the game from other retailers like gamestop, for $150+game cost ($60) just not from bioware itself, because
they are offering it sans-game as a way for PC players or people who want to play ASAP and plan to download/pre-load to play right on release to still get the physical merch perks, because
either it is NOT going to ship and arrive in time from bioware for people who want to play right on release, or they can ship it early and not worry about accidentally pre-releasing it to same fans, plus
THE COST WITHOUT THE GAME IS EXACTLY COMPARABLE TO THE DA: INQUISITION COLLECTOR'S EDITION PHYSICAL BUNDLE IN 2015. That one was $200 for the game+physical merch like the tarot deck, a notebook, some coins, quill & inkpot, etc. If you add the game cost here it would be $210 for both the coffer and digital copy of the game. That's only a $10 increase in price from the 2014 cost of the last game which is barely even covering inflation over the DECADE since then
Like, yes, I am sure it cost less to make the items in Rook's Coffer than they are selling it, that is how selling anything works. But claiming that this is entirely out of line with industry standards and a greedy move by the company is like... ok, well, yes. The company exists to make money. They offer extra perks for people who really like the content and want to pay for it, that's... how most fan-based services work. You can dislike it and not buy it! That's everyone's choice and I honestly don't disagree! But kinda wild to see all these "what an audacious move and so unlike anything released in the past" posts for something that is absolutely standard and normal is kind of silly

trying to keep myself from buying the new sims expansion pack which gets the most unbelievably bad reviews on every platform and is generally regarded as an overpriced load of bullshit that adds absolutely nothing of value to the game and has a very good chance of rendering your game completely unplayable bc of how badly it's produced. but on the other hand i want to build apartments...

Very frustrated rn because i actually want to play ts4 but I’ve had pie menu lag for almost 2 years now and its lowkey discouraging because the only thing that helps is playing vanilla and even that doesn’t get rid of the problem because there’s still some lag

windows is so idiotically shit nowadays. I'm the sole user on my laptop and I'm the administrator and it wouldn't let me edit a file in a game that I MYSELF just downloaded AS AN ADMIN. I tried to give every possible user permission to edit the file including "everyone", didn't fucking work. I just edited it, saved as, and deleted and replaced the old file. like who the hell does this benefit. do y'all remember when pcs used to work.

already have to wait a couple of weeks to play after release so that's enough tine to mourn the possibility of not being able to play at all.

Do you relate to any of your ocs? If yes, why? 🚨 Send this to 10 simblrs you adore ❤️
Hi Micki! Thanks for the ask 🤍 🤍🤍
Hmmm being completely honest I'm not really good at creating different personalities and just characters in general so they all end up behaving kinda like me but not really hehehe. However the one character I think reminds of myself is one I haven't posted here named Elise
Tumblr media
(actually if you cross your eyes and almost close them and spin around three times she kinda looks like me). Like me she's very artistic and creative but constantly gets in her own way and sometimes doesn't really know how to channel her emotions in a productive manner. She's a foodie and a geek too <3

screaming because I checked in with one of my sims families and the infant was all the way on the other side of the little fake open world area from the fucking house and when I tired to have his mom go pick him up and take him home she would put him back on the ground EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME BECAUSE THIS GAME IS FUCKING DOGSHIT

Human Things that Confuse the Non-Humans
I've seen a lot of headcanons on my feed recently that are all about demonic traits and things that seem to scare or facinate MC, but what about the opposite? So I was wondering what sort of typical human things might either unsettle the non-humans, confuse them, or enchant them in some way.
Most of these are based off of personal heasdcanons I already have, so it's very self indulgent.
If ya'll have any other ideas, feel free to share, I'd love to hear them.
Also not proof read cuz I'm writing this at like 5 am due to sleep issues.
------
Circadian Rythem. I've always wanted to bring up how I headcanon that the Devildom doesn't even follow a 24 hour schedule, since the 24 hour thing is entirely based around the sun, and since they don't have a sun, it makes sense that days would follow some other set rule (I always think that Devildom days are much much longer, hence why MC is caught so many times in canon just taking naps wherever even when Belphie is not around), but that's a headcanon for another time. Anyways, I think the fact that Humans almost need to follow a certain sleeping schedule would totally confuse the demons. Demons only really sleep to stay at their strongest, it's not as vital to them. And the fact that humans can die if they don't get the proper sleep? Totally freaks them out. If MC ever pulls an all-nighter, they all think they're one foot in the grave. Having Solomon and MC getting naturally sleepy more often than the non-humans do might seem pretty adorable at times though.
The fact that human hair does indeed shed. I don't personally think demon or angelic hair would, I feel like hair is something they can change at will within reason (There is a chat with Mammon about him getting his haircut, but he said he was going to change it, so I like to think he made it grow back instantly and cut it like normal again). So I like to think that MC or Solomon leaving strands of hair behind is shocking, because the non-humans only ever associated that trait with animals, but they also find it weirdly cute in a way. The demons and angels do try to ask to comb or brush Solomon's and/or MC's hair from time to time. They feel like they're helping.
Being able to roll (curl? Fold?) your tongue. I think it would be hilarious if despite the millions of other things demons and angels can do, none of them can roll their tongues. And then they get confused too when they discover that not every human can do it either, just certain ones. Solomon can do it and treats it like a party trick.
Allergies. I don't know if it's said in Canon anywhere that demons and angels can have allergies...I hope not because (as much as it sucks) it would make sense for it to just be a human thing. Just the concept entirely would have the non-human's heads spin. What do you mean certain things can just have your body essentially attack itself? And it's different for every human? It can be quite literally anything? (The non-humans would absolutely have a heart attack if they knew about mine)
Human mimicry. I think we as humans just have a natural instinct to mimic or repeat certain things. It's a lot more noticeable with internet culture and memes and references and things, but I think a very human thing to do is repeat or mock things we come into contact with. For example, if we hear an animal noise, we try to repeat it like we're talking to it. If we see something in a weird position, we might try to pose like it, etc. We try to relate to things, which is why personification is so prominent in everything we do. (Like how some of us tell wobbily objects to stay or loud machines to shut up) The non-humans think this is very cute. They don't really do that. The closest thing they might relate to is a current trend, but those pass by rather quickly. Mammon probably thinks we're almost like a bunch of crows.
Emotional control/suppression. Hear me out. It's well known in canon that the brothers blow up easily. They'll fight someone over miniscule things. Even Lucifer, who says he prides himself on his control, loses his temper quite often. And Mammon, while seemingly the best at controlling anger, is very open about all his other emotions. The only two demons that clearly have the best control overall are Barbatos and Diavolo who are the two most powerful demons in the Devildom. It probably takes so much energy and power to keep themselves in check. We hardly ever see that dark aura around them if at all in the game, which seems to give the two this unspoken common respect. As for angels, it was already mentioned once that the angels do have magical methods forcibly controlling emotions, and despite that, I'm sure it takes ages of training and practice to get to the level of "patient perfection" they're supposed to exhibit. Now, humans aren't perfect, and of course, there's a lot of nuance to this like mental illness I won't get into, but generally speaking, we quickly learn how to regulate our emotions or how to supress them for society's sake. At the very least, when we get angry we dont suddenly get surrounded by a dark shadow or shift into a different form. And I like to think this terrifies the non-humans to a degree. They don't know when humans are angry or upset until it's blatantly obvious. They already are off-put by Solomon because they never really know what he's up to. And what if it's not even because he's doing "weird" things, what if it's just because he seems to be so calm all the time and no one knows how to read him? None of them know how to read human body language. There's no aura to see, no puffed up wings, no glowing eyes, no whipping tails. Humans can just...stand there, sometimes with a blank expression, sometimes just staring. It can give even the stronger willed beings the creeps. Bonus points if MC is great at masking too. You mean humans can just...take extreme emotions and tuck them away for later? I'm sure that's an absolutely wild concept. Most of the non-humans are just not capable of that kind of control. Albeit its not always the healthiest option, but just the fact that humans have the willpower to just sometimes choose or force themselves not to feel at all is Barbatos level intimidating.
