Wow, this is an old post. Anyway...

I think I'm binge-simming. I'd been pining for the Sims 2 since I heard of it in 2004, (8 years-_-) but I never got any of the games until 2009, when I bought all of them out of misdirected impatience for the Sims 3... but then, I didn't get a computer that I could play it on until a few months ago... So now I have it, and I'm working on my first legacy, and I'm kind of in a slump now, but for the past two months, I would play 9-10 hours a day, staying up until 1am almost every night, and only doing schoolwork as a sidenote. I mean, I'm still doing that, but just on Tumblr and such for now...

But since hardly anyone ever plays it anymore (grew up, got Sims 3, etc.), I'm so far behind the times, and a lot of the great sites have been deleted... I don't know why... but everyone seems obsessed with Sims 3. Maybe it's just the new EPs, because I have the base game and World Adventures, and it's hella boring, with ugly Sims. Le sigh.

Anyway, Sims 2 is the fu*kin' bomb, but it gets addictive super quick. I still love it, though!

    • So, recently, I saw on the news (yes, on this website) that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.

    • And he paid Joe Rogan $30M for podcasts. Terrible company.
    • I sure hope the AI does not give out wrong info during education
