jacksfilms provided evidence of Sssniperwolf doxing him by travelling to his house and showing live video footage of it to her millions of subscribers, her stealing author's content (and not crediting), muting their jokes and saying the jokes herself, reacting to the same clip more than once in a video, and cases of adding zero commentary (wasn't even on screen).

jacksfilms created a second channel (jjjacksfilms) where he would watch her videos, provide value (he'd critique them and his viewers would learn how to improve their own content by what not to do), AND he'd research and try to include credits to all the original authors that Sssniperwolf was stealing from and didn't credit herself. He has many videos showing more examples of Sssniperwolf's shady behaviour.

Despite it being fair use for jacksfilms to critique her videos, Sssniperwolf doxed him.

This impacts more than just cheaters. Rockstar apparently didn't enable Proton support with Battleye meaning many Linux users can no longer play GTA Online. I don't play GTAO but I am not looking forward to when I can no longer play Red Dead Online.

"As we mentioned previously, BattlEye on Proton integration has reached a point where all a developer needs to do is reach out BattlEye to enable it for their title. No additional work is required by the developer besides that communication." source: https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3104663180636096966

DM: "Alright. Everyone else, please make up and write down two things about this player's backstory and let me know. Do not tell each other what you wrote. I'll choose which ones I'll use plus may throw in a couple myself" evil laugh

I was a child when I got Weird Al's autograph when he performed at an antique car show with the audience all sitting on grass. He was super nice.

I just went yesterday and bought $61 worth of things to get as close to 60 as possible, then used 60000 points and got 20000 points back. Getting $60 of things we need for $40 was still a win for me. So even though I agree they already got my money when I accrued the points, the reality is $60 of merch left and they gained ~$1.

So for now my plan is to only buy necessities there and only during similar promotions.

 

Not only will I not spend money at Loblaws stores this month, I will also take $750 away from them by using my points.

Even better is a promotion starts tomorrow that if I spend $60 worth of points, they'll add $20 worth back onto my balance.

Oh my kid doesn't play -- more or less just listens to me vent about EA while occasionally providing advice on how to make my Sims clothing/builds look better. :D

Aww thanks for the comment. I'll share this with my kid as they're the one who came up with that one. :D

I'm so looking forward to once Paralives launches (Early Access to be sometime in 2025). Out of all of the competition, that's the one I'm looking forward to the most. I've been a Patreon supporter for years and love seeing their weekly updates.

I'm not interested in giving EA any more money or in their 2 hour long commercial. However, what I AM interested in is all creative talents who may create their own versions of what the Sims movie should be based on Sims 4 is actually like:

  • No plot since it's up to you to think up the story in your head!
  • Dining out for hours but the Sims can't sit down and actually eat a meal.
  • Sims getting married when they've known each other for less than a day.
  • A wedding with guests doing things like pushups or using their cellphones during the ceremony.
  • A sim drops trash and now can't walk around it doing their 'hey you - help here - hand wave'.
  • A crying baby needing food with two parents who desperately need to pee. The parents pass the baby back and forth, pee themselves, then one places the baby down on the floor in the puddle of urine.
  • Famous Sims oddly appearing in every scene despite it not making sense for them to be there and oddities like wearing swimwear in snowy areas.

I break the spaghetti into 3 pieces before cooking it as then it's much easier to deal with. :)

 

I don't like the lack of transparency with how the Google Play Store doesn't list the permissions if one pays for the app and instead only shows the permissions if one doesn't pay.

I generally prefer it when devs release two apps -- a free version and a paid version. This way it's very clear on the Google Play Store what is being tracked in the paid app.

This won't affect me personally, but I am curious if others would be more likely to use and pay for Sync if the permissions were more clear for the paid usage case.

 

I'm Canadian but I expect this sale is on for other countries as well. This also means if you are in the USA -- the price for you to get the Sims 3 bundle is even lower. (EDIT: Note that the bundle doesn't include the Base Game which is required but can also be bought off of steam.)

@1993_[email protected] wrote a great post about Slashdot upvotes/moderation which I think makes a good feature request.

Here is the opening line of their post: "this was something I loved about slashdot moderation. When voting, people had to specify the reason for the vote. +1 funny, +1 insightful, +1 informative, -1 troll, -1 misleading, etc."

The post also mentions moderation as well so I suggest a full read.

 

I appreciate being able to talk about different life sims in one place such as Sims4, Paralives, and Life By You. Thanks for creating this community. :)
