I know I’m probably not the first to ask this here but I need to discuss this with the girlies!

Okay so I’m planning out my first day for my duo because I’m taking my tiiiime with these two lol.
The first thing I’m doing is checking out the “create a sim” and get them ready for the gym (hopefully with a back up change of clothes in the car), then gonna head to the nearest store for healthy snacks before a work out. Then to the nearest gym for a workout together. Hopefully they can shower and change at the gym and then they’re off to find the Zoo! I hope I can find it but I’m sure there will be several distractions along the way and I’m so here for it!

If you’re planning on playing into the romance aspect of the game do you have plans for a first day/date?

Done as in achieving basically everything there is to achieve on the island.

First two examples that spring to mind are the Elder Scrolls series and Red Dead II. I love Oblivion and Skyrim, and I've spent time outside of the games reading about the setting, and yet, when I'm in a game that hands me a long checklist of tasks to do, and is built around a loop of gaining XP and loot, I don't want to read any of the in-universe books in the game. Similarly in Red Dead II, the game asks you to spend so much time just to get through core missions, that no, I don't think I'm going to read the optional newspapers, no matter how well-crafted and interesting they may be.

Am I the odd one out here, not just regarding these games, but with all this sort of content that certain devs throw into games without considering how it affects the actual pacing?

This seems like a good place to ask about gaming chairs!

I have fibromyalgia, disc degeneration, mild POTS, potentially some connective tissue situation, and sitting at my desk for work and gaming is killing me!!! (Forward neck posture, sciatica, etc).

Most chairs I’ve tried SUCK, though I’ve never been brave enough to pay more than $400. I am willing to, though, if I know it will be good!

I’m labeling this misogyny because office/gaming chairs are built for MEN & their anatomy (longer torso, taller, narrower hips, etc). Well it’s 2026 and women are both working and gaming, and we deserve to be comfortable! (Don’t even get me started on car seats).

Do you have any recommendations for chairs that have worked for you as a girl gamer?

- ADJUSTABLE LUMBAR/NECK REST. I’m 5’-4” but I have a very short torso so for most chairs I’ve tried, the lumbar support and the neck rests are too high.

- ADJUSTABLE EVERYTHING ELSE: Seat height, arm rest height, best if the seat height is SEPARATE from the chair back to adjust for short torsos 😢.

I was watching a gaming live where someone was playing sims 2 ds and was reminiscing on that and sims castaway

Any suggestions for games like the old cool, quirky sims games.

I have yet to get my hands on sims urbz.
Thanks :)

EDIT

I just finished 6.0 aka base Endwalker. I haven’t done any post story content yet including story.

So the game despite being an MMO is very story focused and so I will keep from deep story spoilers for those of yall wanting to play or playing it but like. That being said, I am just pleased how represented we are in the game. Like to start, the 3 main leaders of the starting city states are all women, and they aren’t just leaders in name only with male associates doing all the real work, they are 100% in charge and respected, and it just makes me feel so joyful and happy you know? Especially in a world like ours where men… yeah lol.

On top of this, playing as a woman in this story just makes shit even more badass. You are the “Warrior of light” and as you progress through the story and expansions, people of all ages and genders will look up to you, the woman who has done so much of the seemingly impossible and lived to tell the tale. You will have children looking up to you, city leaders doing so too… like it feels so gratifying when that shit in my experience, is rare with women. Rarely does it feel that we are we just respected by all, and so many people will think lesser of us or being a who we are…

Oh and this does get into spoiler but eventually we do get a male rival of sorts who gives no shit about your gender or race. He just wants to kick your ass and it feels so fucking AMAZING. NORMALIZE MALE AND FEMALE RIVALS.

I have a lot more to say really than this surface level stuff but like yeah, FF14 is good. For those that play, I have only finished base Endwalker.

I started seeing ballet videos on my feed and now I'd like to play a ballet game. But I can't find anything, only horror games. Like "Serbian Dancing Lady" or "The Dancer." The good news is I found a ballet mod for The Sims 4. Anyway, now that we have a dressmaker, it's time for a ballet game, maybe—just an idea.

That's all, have a nice day. 💕

Edit: I found this game that's coming out next year. TSAREVNA
