I’ll wait and see how things pan out over the next little while, if more information comes out about it.

Definitely makes me want to lean hard into the Paralives early access launch in December though…

[2/2]

I know I haven’t been active on here for a while, but I’ve been around (chronic illnesses been doing their thing and kicking my butt)

This recent EA sale news though… not sure what to make of it. It makes me uncomfortable, if I could sum it up in one word.

[1/2]

Sitting in a doctor’s waiting room when the opening notes of ‘Love Story’ start playing and suddenly my mood is lifted 🥰

I also found my Sims 3 disc, WITH RECEIPT INSIDE 😂

Bought on sale at the end of 2010 for $49AUD - full price was $88AUD

I said on one of my social media bios (Discord maybe?) that I skipped playing Sims 2 somehow…

Guess who just proved herself a liar and is now questioning her ability to recall memories as a child/teen

I wanted to burst out laughing when I spotted this on the mannequin in the shop window, yet at the same time I also intensely wanted to buy it because my love for Charlie Swan runs deep 😂

Also very amused as I write ‘summer sale’ rugged up in multiple layers with a heater running in my room 😂

Yay southern hemisphere!

So what if I’ve been absent from social media & haven’t played Sims in months, Steam has their summer sale on so I just spent $75AUD on four new games & was able to get two more for free.

When will I play them? Who the heck knows? But now I own more games off my wish list so 🤷‍♀️

A screenshot of an iPhone open to the lock screen with a notification on it from The Sims Mobile game. The screen shows the date, Sunday 16 March, and the time 11:17 [PM, not actually shown but for context] The lock screen photo in the background is of a Smile Tile that reads ARE THINGS THAT BAD OR DO YOU JUST NEED SOME SALT (OCEAN, TEARS, [HOT CHIPS)? - is obscured by the notification] The notification itself reads: The Sims - Yesterday, 6:00 pm Hey, how's reality going? If you need a break, we're here for you!

Ignore the fact the notification has been sitting there since 6pm yesterday…

lol at The Sims Mobile and whoever is writing their push notifications 😂

When my two favourite things collide: The Sims and Tom Cardy

😍😍😍😍😍

speak now left me speechless... YouTube video by jaxson

Again, I was watching this YouTuber react to Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)

And fricking Long Live got me bawling too

Dammit TayTay 😭

speak now left me speechless... YouTube video by jaxson

It was this reactor by the way, he’s pretty cool (don’t worry Swifties, he reacts to Taylor’s Version, the cover art is absolutely clickbait haha 😂)

Latest obsession is watching YT reactions to Taylor Swift and now they’ve got me sobbing to Never Grow Up 😭

Hard relate

Biggest wish, greatest fear

Lip Sync Battle - Tom Holland YouTube video by Comedy Central Latinoamérica

Here, you know, because it’s only fair to share 😆

A screenshot from Facebook showing a post in the ‘Hand Embroidery Group’ by Samantha Zalupski The caption reads: If I've ever said "this is the best thing I've stitched" in the past, I was lying. This is my favorite, ever. (heart eyes emoji) Attached is a photograph of an embroidered image from Tom Holland’s Lip Sync Battle performance, showing him in the costume he wore and holding an umbrella in two hands over his head as if he is mid dance move

Facebook showed me this and IYKYK ⛱️.

Now I’m multiple replays deep. As someone said in the comments, it’s my Roman Empire 😂

Uprising

A screenshot from Spotify of a playlist title and description - it reads: daylist rockin air guitar night You listened to air guitar and rockin at night. Try some: rockin, air guitar, guitar, rock-ish, alternative rock and rock on Made for Kirsten

I don’t know how I forgot about how much I liked Uprising by Muse but I’m really glad my Spotify Daylist reminded me tonight

It’s the video I never knew I needed 😂 Jimmy’s the best

Awww thanks Sam! 🥰

A whole room full of balloons? You shouldn’t have! 😂

Hahaha omg! 😂

Thanks so much lovely 🫶🥰

Thanks Steph! 🥰🫶

Thanks 🥰

(You only missed my birthday here by an hour so I say it still counts! 😂)

Thank you lovely! 🫶

I’m just a tiny bit sad that I don’t get birthday balloons over here at Bluesky haha 😜

Anyway, I had a nice day - got to see my baby niece and have a cuddle (oh I saw my brother and sister-in-law too I guess 😂) and have lunch out with them and my parents

Pretty chilled day but it was nice 🥰

a woman playing a guitar and two women singing on a stage with the words i 'm gonna edit this later Alt: A gif from the video clip Look What You Made Me Do by Taylor Swift. It shows a crying Taylor Swift with curly hair playing a guitar (a Teardrops on My Guitar reference), a Taylor Swift with a high ponytail and sunglasses in a leopard print coat taking videos of the other Taylors and saying “I’m gonna edit this later” (likely referring to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West editing the recording of the phone call to Taylor about Kanye’s song Famous) and a Taylor Swift in a floor length silver sparkly one shoulder dress and a curly haired updo holding a MTV VMA award and a microphone (referring to the 2009 VMA incident where Kanye West stormed the stage). In the background is a black jet (only the engine can be seen) and across the bottom of the gif the words “I’m gonna edit this later” are written.

My new fave genre of YT reactor is the (usually male) Kanye fan listening to Taylor Swift for the first time & they choose Reputation to do it with. Seeing their eyes widen as they hear her tear into someone lyrically & the delicious irony when they have no idea it’s probably Kanye himself is golden

That moment when you learn a new word from the most unexpected of places: the ‘Too Hot To Handle 3’ Netflix mobile game 😂

(The word in question was susurrate, which apparently means to make a soft rustling sound, a whisper or murmur)

So, Trump got Twitter, Facebook/Instagram and now also TikTok sucking up to him - this is deeply concerning. Traditional media is on the decline and most people (particularly young people) nowadays get their news/info from these sites, which are now dancing to Trumps’ tune. Be careful out there.
