30-ish year old dude stuck in the uk. I'm just tired yall.
If you've ever unironically called yourself a 'tumblr elder' or 'fandom mom', or some variation on that theme, I don't want to interact with you. You're all insufferable.
i used to really love mod the sims forums pre ts4 release, and even then i’d be off it for long stretches, but it was the only sims forum I interacted on.
But now every time I check back it’s a cesspit. I’m not talking bitchy fights about which version is best - that’s normal, whatever. I’m talking about the last time I was there an entire long thread about how the sims 4 adding hijabs was shoving religion down throats and anti woman. And I just popper in again and there’s an entire thread about how the sims 4 has ‘gone woke’ and it’s basically a long list of people pissing themselves over gender options.
It also included this gem of a comment.
wild stuff. Genuinely unhinged and hilarious without intending to be. 'We’re smarter and better educated than most sims 4 players’ Amazing.
D&D has become so much more fun since it clicked for me that I’m not the character, I’m the writer in charge of the character
If you’re the character, bad rolls and bad calls reflect badly on you. You want to Win because that means you’re doing D&D right, and if things go wrong, it’s because you’re doing it wrong.
If you’re the writer, your number one job is to do things to your character that the character does not like because that gives them the chance to be interesting.
all video games should have a “I’m shit at video games but I’m curious about the story and I don’t want to watch a let’s play” mode
I am
I made this post because I am disabled and no matter how much I practice there are some games I will never be able to play because I physically cannot move my fingers the way you have to and the responses to this post from other disabled people, people who grew up unable to play video games, and people who just aren’t very good at them has been extremely enthusiastically positive, while people who apparently can’t conceive of the idea that some people will never be good at gaming condescendingly comment, tag or send me asks telling me to try easy mode or to get good despite the fact that the feature I’m describing already exists in some games and mods. if you’re part of the latter group, consider that some of us can not ever be good at video games and we still deserve to be able to participate and have fun
Ok, real talk, if you play PC games I use a program called Wemod that has settings for almost every game ever and you can change them to suit your needs
Unlimited health? one hit kill? unlimited items?
They can’t mod multiplayer games, but every genre of game imaginable is on Wemod so I use it for everything from stardew valley, subnautica, hades, farming sim and more!
It mods the games to your level of ease without needing to mess with any files or get deep into webpages for mods yourself
It is a life changer
FYI ⬆️⬆️⬆️
Only passing along as the only games I play are on my phone.
Get an older sibling and have them play the game and you watch
One, this is older siblings who watch younger siblings play erasure, two that’s not the point. People deserve to enjoy the experience of playing a game for themselves. Watching someone play is fun. Playing yourself is a different kind of fun.
There are so many reasons why someone wouldn’t want to be challenged by a game, and it’s ridiculous that people can’t fathom someone requiring a different gameplay than themselves.
Back in the dark ages when I was a kid and we got our first computer, my dad noticed that I was sad because I wanted to play computer games like him, so he would let me play his games in god mode. Should a five year old have been playing Ultimate Doom? Absolutely not. Did I enjoy the shit out of it, particularly the part where I couldn’t die and could just wander around aimlessly machine gunning demons to death with no real goal in mind? Hell yes.
Also, no one should have to explain the reason they want to play the game in god mode.
That is absolutely none of your business, if someone wants to play the game with max items, weapons, armor, money etc., whatever reason they’re playing that way for. YOU, the anon on the internet have no business knowing or shitting on how they play. It’s THEIR game, and THEIR gameplay experience. and I hope OP was able to play their game the way they wanted to without being stymied by the games mechanics.
Can I Play That? is a fantastic resource for fellow disabled folks who want to play video games, as well as non-disabled video game devs who want to make their games more accessible. I highly recommend checking it out!

hey, you know what’s a really bad sims 4 mod? One that when you use it to modify an outfit in cas, it then spits you back out at the last save point instead of where you were when you entered cas.
When I found out Paramount+ was removing Star Trek: Prodigy I bought all 20 episodes of S1 from Amazon Video since that was the only way for me to watch all 20 at the time. On 6/27, I lost access to episodes 10-20. Amazon has done what they can, which isn’t much.
All 20 were accessible when I paid for all 20. The full season is what I was buying. Now, I only have access to 9 of the episodes.
What is the point of buying digital content if they’re just going to steal it back from you afterwards?! Is this not false advertisement?
Seems appropriate
People don’t seem to realize this. Digital purchases are great until the seller no longer has the rights to the media and suddenly its not yours anymore
