The whole purpose of Notepad is to open up a text file QUICKLY. Who the fuck cares about AI in this thing?

I also want Colorado, but for it to be an even bigger rectangle, the biggest it can possibly be. I’m willing to give up some Mexican territory for this.

Eso suena bastante fluido para mí! :P

I can’t imagine how many hours of my life I would spend retrying different outcomes for a single conversation like I do with RPGs.

Whoa, that’s mind-blowing. I always wondered what kind of jobs there would be for me if I suddenly lost my vision.

I appreciate that you used a tilde. “Si” is an entirely different word.

Memes you can hear.

Seriously! I remember living in the States finding weird social attitudes like people being unable to criticize Israel without being labeled antisemitic. Or the seemingly random hatred for communism even though the Cold War was not present in people’s minds regardless of whether they knew what it was, or being called gay for the stupidest things. What a baffling culture it was sometimes.

Mmm, the magic finger 😏

try to export their strict laws

No, not laws, but religious views and values. That’s what their laws reflect. Religious people are famous for trying to proselytize, convert, and meddle because they have a very fundamental belief that they’re dealing with larger forces of good and evil.

gives them so much personal joy at taking away our gay kissing

Again, please don’t reduce my argument to absurdity. That is not a productive or respectful way of making your point.

Whaaat, the party of small government is doing this? Impossible.

Telegram groups is where it’s at. ;)

Same, but a bit longer for me. I still find it crazy that so many people want to move to the US. It’s not the place people dream of.

Yeah, I have those games, but I want to know what direction they’ll take. I want to know how bold they would be if they wanted to.

Saudi Arabia is a country with one of the strictest laws in the world. Why shouldn’t anyone be suspicious of what they say or do? Why can’t people have a healthy amount of distrust and skepticism of their actions if, as you said, they’re trying to portray a different image of themselves to the world? Who says the mask can’t come off under the right circumstances, like the shameless right-wing downturn of the US?

The Sims IP has always been one of the most welcoming and famous platforms for non-traditional values that directly contradict their country’s principles. Because I don’t know if you know, but homosexuality in Saudi Arabia is currently punishable by death. It’s fair to imagine that some company-wide policy changes would take place when it’s acquired to align with its own views, which also align with the Trump administration’s crusade to eliminate liberal ideas. I mean, didn’t they recently bribe him with a luxury jet? Don’t you think they could have a broader joint interest at heart?

If franchises like Call of Duty have been targets of military marketing, it doesn’t take much to imagine how a corporation from an authoritarian country like SA would at least attempt to rein in social values in The Sims if given the chance.

Buncha Brit Blokes

I’d rather have that than the IPs being used to promote and indoctrinate some religious bullshit.

I wonder what they’ll do with IPs like The Sims. I can’t imagine they’ll allow same-sex relationships, naturally, but I don’t think they’ll allow divorce, either. :S

It has its rough edges, but I do like it overall.

The whole point is to not have a centralized system. Development is also part of that, so providing multiple front ends for the same community also works towards that goal.
