Every. single. action. is. so. tedious. The second I tried to place my first path and build an enclosure, I knew I was in over my head.
I understand the finicky controls are what allow people to build incredible, elaborate structures. But I don't want to spend 12 hours designing a crystal monkey enclosure.
Planet Zoo.
As a kid who grew up playing Zoo Tycoon, I was STOKED for a new Zoo management game. I even built a whole new computer to run it.
Turns out it's more of a 3-D modeling program than a management/simulation game. And I don't have the time or patience to figure it out.
Upvote when it's a hot take I agree with. It's gotta be a hot take though. Not the most popular opinion.
Aaaaand that's it. Literally everything else I just read and move on.
"Derry Girls" and "Pen15" are both hilarious and perfectly capture the awkwardness of being a teenage girl. I actually had to ask my husband to leave the room during Pen15, because it felt like he was watching footage of my most embarrassing moments.
Edit to add: if you have HBO, we've also really been enjoying "The Righteous Gemstones". It's about a family that runs a megachurch. "White Lotus", which is about rich people on vacation, isn't really what I would call a lightheaded comedy... but it's definitely funny! Especially the first season.
8-year-old Porcupine worked her butt off to beat The Sims on PS2. I tried playing again on an emulator, but I haven't been able to get it working.
All of them. ๐ดโโ ๏ธ
But seriously, I feel like Seasons is an essential. If you like building, Tiny Living and Dream Home Decorator are great. Gameplay wise... idk they all kind of suck and feel samey after a while. And all of them are broken in their own way.
Matcha. ๐คค The closest Asian market is 30 minutes away, so I usually make it myself.
One. I am a dumb dumb and don't quite understand the point of being on multiple instances. Also so many of them are weirdly... ideological??
Honestly I just order from Target. I know the products are legit, and I can usually do same day pickup.
(Lately I've preferred to shop in person. The stereotype is true -- once you become a mom, getting a Starbies and walking around Target becomes your self-care.)
so. much. gossip!!!
My work phone is an iPhone. It's fine. ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ The camera is great, even compared to my pixel. The thing that drives me nutty is all of the ads. I love having ReVanced and xManager on my personal phone.
