From what i understand people could buy tomatoes or something using the in game currency and throw them at the screen. I think they blocked that or something based on what ive read on reddit but who knows if thats true or not.

Even if not, I'm not as concerned with teenagers being edgy compared to the possible positive effects here, personally

Had a mate over tonight for some food and games and for the first time in ages did split screen and tried out a few coop games alongside some others. Played the new Quake remaster (the bots on nightmare oh my god), Overcooked 2 (amazing game lmao) and he tried Twelve Minutes and Prey for the first time.

Good night, needed it.

He did, he particularly liked the Gloo Cannon, thought it was a cool idea for a weapon/tool.

Only got an hour or so in but he has his save kept for when he next wants to play.

Also yeah that game is rad, hope it gets a sequel one day.

So i saw that Sims 4 game is on gamepass for the PC, and ive not played a sims game so figured i would give it a bash. Its okay so far, made three characters who are living together and im still getting used to the controls.

However at the moment, all three have went to bed after inviting a neighbour in, who is now in the bathroom on his own, angry, screaming at the mirror.

As you do i guess.

LGR did a bunch of reviews for the content packs and "stuff" packs, if you like Sims 4 you should check them out.

He's a youtuber. Used to be LazyGameReviews but he rebranded. He also does a lot of looks at old tech.

I could have waited for Yakuza Like A Dragon to hit game pass. But no, a few months ago I saw the version with all the bells and whistle add-ons on sale. And just bought it.

God, do I regret that. This game sucks.

Ah, the Sims 4. Its a decent game, and the dlcs are ok. Just remember its a casual game, for an incredibly casual audience, which means EA will pump every dollar they can out of you with the dlcs.

I have a relative who bitches about the sims 4 for their dlc policy whenever they get the chance.

Yeah, it's a real racket. Though I did just score some free DLC for it the other day as a game pass perk.

Yep, this is what happens when you get a franchise so popular that it's some people's only game they play. Hell, my grandmother still plays sims 2.

I just realized my relative loves paradox games which also tally a high dlc total price and rerelease dlcs, lmao. Found something to bully him with.

You gotta get that cooking skill up high. My dude is like, a gourmet chef specifically because I didn't want him to set himself ablaze. His husband isn't a bad cook either.
