I have no idea what I'm doing with my life, don't think I ever will.

Since the news about the EA buyout, I've been feeling awful. I don't like sharing gameplay, also because I stopped playing altogether.

I might change my mind one day. For now, this is it. I don't judge who is playing. I'm not better than anyone else for feeling this way. Just venting, really.

Listen, I perfectly understand the importance of historical buildings, but comparing the East Wing being demolished to 9/11 is so out of touch. PEOPLE DIED.

Anyway, it's very hard to see the pictures, but this is very on brand with 2025. What an awful year to be alive.

What you mean? Erasing fat sims is mandatory, but gay sims? This where we draw the line. /s

I wouldn't be surprised.

If I could send something to Andrew Wilson, this would do.

Yeah, I'm thinking with my 39-year-old brain 😂 that's the issue here.

Do you ever see the little Windows Update orange dot and feel personally attacked and violated?

Happy to see people (players, employees) openly speak about the EA acquisition deal through all possible mechanisms, even if the effort may seem futile.

If jobs are lost or studios are closed due to this deal, that would be a choice, not a necessity, made to pad investors’ pockets—not to strengthen the company.

I've been sailing the seven seas for a really long time now. Unfortunately, I can't feel peace since I heard the news. I used to share screenshots of my gameplay and that's promoting the game in one way or another.

I'm glad you don't feel the way I do, though.

Then why are you in the middle of nowhere on your anniversary? 😭

I don't know what the reference is, but now I understand why I was so confused when she mentioned burgers out of nowhere 😂

Tatiana @cringeandthrive.bsky.social · 3d

It wasn't confusing at all! 💜

I agree with you. I can understand both sides. It frustrates me how young adults have unrealistic expectations about their future. As we get older, we realize the people we love is what matters the most.

Then I have to remind myself again that this is FICTION 🤭

I was telling one of my best friends about the EA buyout "drama" if you will, all she had to say was "Well, FUCK."

Yeah, when even your hobbies become political and now all I feel is guilt when I miss playing The Sims 4, "FUCK" indeed.

I hate it here. So so so much.

Then I need to remember this is fiction. Plus, the proposal just showed how much Rowan still has to grow 🙃 It really was the nail in the coffin.

Tatiana @cringeandthrive.bsky.social · 4d

Maybe this comes from the pessimistic in me, but dreams aren't this amazing thing like you see in the movies. Now, finding a partner you love and loves you in return, knows you in a meaningful way, it's very VERY hard.

Fair point! Something tells me he won't. Let's see what moonie has in store for us.

I don't know how to feel about this. She made the decision for him, basically. Now they're both going to live the life they dreamed of but with a broken heart? Ouch. 😭

It's not about shrinking your life, it's about finding your person. She's too focused on dreams and they rarely are the way you imagined. Welcome to adulthood, Sybil. 😅

I do agree Rowan is being a bit too dramatic with a proposal, though.

I 100% get the "I can't imagine my life without my partner" sentiment. He can be a vet in the city, lots of people have pets.

On the other hand, imagine if the relationship doesn't work out and you resent on making that decision for the rest of your life. So yeah, I can understand both sides.
