Relative to its time, yes, but Sims 3 is peak Sims. It improved on 2 in every way, but the thing they did the best and left out of 4 was the create a style tool, which allows you to make any surface any texture and colour you like. You could have a wooden sweater and metal carpet. No limits. You could make uncanny replicas of most homes, furnishings and all.

"Paris to Voyager, you got me this round. Splitting the missile at the bottom just as the bonus plane flew over was a dirty trick, but it worked."

This looks like a ham-fisted corporate propaganda pic, so yes.

Let's get the cops to strip everyone naked at every traffic stop without any probable cause because that's how good justice works? Our police need no reason to strip you naked? No.

If the cops thought he had drugs on him, there is due process. But they tried to use the sound of plastic rustling as their probable cause, which is not a valid justification by a long way. This guy could be in prison for drug charges if these cops followed the laws in place to protect us. But because the cops cut corners and curtailed a man's rights in the process, any evidence is unusable. This man's freedom, despite being a drug dealing piece of shit, is 100% the cops fault, they know this is illegal but did it anyway. They set him free with their own incompetence.

In medieval times, when you had the flu, the prescription was lots of water. Not to flush your system and keep you hydrated as is modern wisdom, but to balance your humors, which is made-up nonsense.

Porsche Unleashed! That game taught me how to do real life 180s and 360s and that may favourite car colour is deep green. Great race replays too.

Here in BC, wine is one of our biggest industries. Winter killed off 99% of our vines. They have been given money to replant and survive, but we might be looking at the end of a major industry if these cold snaps are going to be an annual thing. And it's not like you can just replant and go on as normal, this will take multiple growing seasons to recover. These are some of the best spots for summer seasonal work and a big part of BC tourism, it could all evaporate.

She's newly elected. This was a part of her first speech and it has gone viral. She's Maori and I suppose this is her saying she's there to fight, but I didn't see the rest of the speech.

We've been trying to tell y'all this for years, we just want you to have fun and not listen to horrendous "journalists" that smear Star Citizen for clicks. But you don't create multiple offices across the world with over 1000 full time employees and dozens of third party contractors if you're trying to scam your fans. You also can't create a AAA studio from the ground up in just a few years. This studio started with 8 people in a basement and it grew slowly, because you have to. Only so many people are looking for work at a time and only so many of them are hirable. It took them 10 years just to have as many devs as other AAA studios, but they knew they had the budget to go AAA from early on. So for a long time there weren't enough people to deliver a game of this scope in a reasonable time. They knew it, we knew it, it was part of the plan. They were hiring like mad across the world for years and years because the payoff in the end will be a well supported AAA game like no other. Now that they are chugging along at full speed, people are starting to see what the rest of us have been trying to show you. Yes, Chris Roberts wants to be a billionaire CEO. But he also wants to build a rad game in good faith and has the money to do so.

So yeah, it's taken a while and will be a while still, but it's a genuinely fun game to play, even now. If it goes belly up tomorrow I've already got my money's worth of enjoyment out of it. Every quarter, new massive updates drop. Once Squadron 42 is launched and running smoothly I think it will change a lot of hearts and minds. Just play SC during a free fly week. It's janky as early access games always are, but genuinely a fun time.

You should all be angry at the shitty hit pieces that deprived you guys of quality online scifi shenanigans by lying to you about this game and remember gaming news isn't always good journalism, sometimes reputable sites will post tabloid garbage because there are no rules, only shareholders and click quotas.

Right? They react with appropriate frustration when someone denies the Holocaust happened, but then deny Holodomor with the exact same rhetoric as the Holocaust deniers.
