@Sunsy I didn't used to hate EA as much. I loved the Mass Effect Trilogy. But you know what those games didn't have? A mountain of "surprise mechanics" and microtransactions. And, you know, they were actually quality, original games, and not the same game as the year before with slightly different graphics.
@ThanosReXXX On phone, Switch and tablet. I'm fully aware of adblockers but I try not to always use them with YouTube and Twitch because I know that hurts content producers. I only use it on PC. And since that only accounts for about half of my YouTube and Twich view time, I don't feel entirely like I am screwing content producers.
It was mostly annoying because it has been the same ad, over and over, for a product I distinctly have no interest in whatsoever AND is something of a rival product for things I do like AND is being advertised during videos about Nintendo games. Like Google is trying to make me not play Switch games.
@Heavyarms55
I was concerning to see more Expansion stuffs and DLC for The Sims 4 PC and consoles (Realm Magic, University Life). I did really hope the latest DLC was the Final add on because they were still pricey. 😣
Quick UGG update, I played it a bit with my kids today. While I had the stick, I was able to get the rake into the lake. Then my son took over and swam around the lake honking so much that the gardener came over to tell him what we were all thinking, “For the love of god, STOP honking!” In the process, he noticed the rake floating in the lake and took it back to the garden. I’m thinking that replaying the rake mission maaaaaay just add enough time to the game to make it “valuable”.
@NintendoByNature - Well earned then. We did a vegan curry earlier this week and subbed the cauliflower for chicken. It was okay. Would have been better if we did the cauliflower AND the chicken and just pretended it was vegan.
@Anti-Matter EA has been milking the Sims for so long with expansions... In any other series those expansions would be combined into larger packs and cheaper. EA gets away with it, because it's become the norm for the Sims...

@Heavyarms55 Which is pretty much why I play most of their older and classic games. Though, I did love Titanfall 2's single player, even if it was a more recent EA game.
@ThanosReXXX Firstly, thanks for reminding me, just downloaded the Ori demo. Secondly, I second the trying new games ideas. I'm reminded last year, I tried a visual novel game for the first time, and enjoyed it. If I never tried it, I'd never know I would like said games.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
@bimmy-lee That UGG story makes it worth it already. Wait till ya find the kid in the town. I haven’t stopped looking for new ways to terrorize him. Maybe it’ll be like a therapy exercise.

@Heavyarms55 In general, I agree with you, but in the case of YouTube, I know that Google is behind it, and even they themselves don't give a crap about content makers, and they've got more money than I'll ever make in 10 lifetimes, so I couldn't care less about the effects of me blocking their stupid ads in the videos that I myself choose to watch. In some videos, it gets totally ridiculous, being interrupted three times or more, so they deserve everything that the makers of Clean YouTube are serving them.
@Sunsy You're very welcome. I think that the Ori games are well worth a try, and they deserve all the praise that they are getting. It's only every so often that you can label a platforming adventure truly magical and enchanting, and far as I'm concerned, Ori and the Blind Forest is most definitely all of those things, and perhaps even a bit more.

@BruceCM Whether or not I read the comments depends on the article in question and if I have the time. I used to read almost everything on here when I first stumbled across the site in college, but I've added a full time job and multiple responsibilities since then. XD
@ThanosReXXX Considering what I'll be paying for this vs. the other service, that might have been a slight understatement....
Agreed on YT ads becoming pretty aggressive. I watch most of my YouTube on my phone, and they've definitely become more frequent over the past while. Nothing ljke watching a video and having a random ad interrupt while the narrator or channel owner is talking. It's made for some funny segues into the ads though.
I normally don't adblock on there when I watch on my laptop, but I'm starting to rethink that....
@bimmy-lee I've heard of that pie! Never have had it though. I should probably track some down next time I'm across the border. I like most pies.
Reads on Or wait on you to provide the recipe. As much as I love pie, I try to make it a once in awhile treat. I'd definitely need help eating it if I made one. XD
My grandma's family has a killer coconut cream pie recipe. She brought it to a family reunion earlier this month actually. Wonder if my mom has it....
Sounds like the goose horror sim is a success with the kids, aye?
@HobbitGamer - I can’t wait! I hope that kid is eating an ice cream cone, and I can knock it right out of his hand. It feels so good to be up to such awful hijinks.
@Tyranexx - I’m on a mission to provide recipes for sugar cream pie and award winning pumpkin pie (sorry @ThanosReXXX !). I love a good coconut cream pie! Not enough of them around if you ask me. I’m not turning many pies down, but the cream pies are some of my favorites. Dutch Apple is tops in my book though.
The sim was definitely a big hit. My daughter actually properly controlled an on screen character for the first time. It was really cool. She stole a carrot, evaded the gardener, and put it in a pond. After playing it, I’m fully convinced the goose that followed us had a to do list on a piece of paper, and one of its tasks, written in perfect cursive, was to “get the straw hat from the small boy (at any cost)”. My daughter made up a song, it’s a simple, yet catchy tune: The Goose is loose, snip, snip, peck peck (and repeat... over and over).
@Anti-Matter I love the Powerpuff Girls crossover up there. Not as sold on the fanart starter lines though. Fire/Electric for Scorbunny's line is an interesting concept.
@bimmy-lee I tend to gravitate towards most cream and fruit pies. I'm also down for a good pecan pie when they're available too.
I'm admittedly not a huge pumpkin pie fan, but I still haven't figured out if it's the pumpkin itself I don't like or if it's the spice (or other flavor enhancers). I tend to like most gourd/squash dishes I've had otherwise.
Glad that your kids seem to be enjoying Untitled Goose Game! I'd say that's a definite win if they're all enjoying the goosey shenanigans. Even more so since your daughter seems to be getting the hang of a controller!
That song sounds adorable, but I'm not sure how long I could stand a continual loop of it.
@Tyranexx - Yep, just like a lot of things, the song started out adorable, then five continuous minutes later you’re like, “please, if you have any compassion within you (little kids don’t), please just stop.”
@HobbitGamer - Agreed. I think it’s Untitled’s slow move speed and wide turning radius. Let’s not kid ourselves though, UGG was made for trolls like you and me.
