I’m not sure about the sims 1, but my original copies of 2 and 3 work fine for me in wine on linux, so if you’re on windows maybe you would be able to run your copy using boxedwine? Also maybe running the normal version of wine in WSL could work

Your peripheral vision works better than the center of your vision in low light, that’s why you can sort of see things in the edge of your field of view but not when you directly look at them

It doesn’t say what hormone though, is it like a lootbox system where sometimes you get like testosterone or estrogen and sometimes you get like epinephrine?

I mean this is a terrible answer, but DS pictochat fits that

I mean clearly they find them in grand central terminal

Yeah that’s why they had to label this one since it’s unusual, it got bitten by a radioactive venomosaurus and is now venomous

I mean yeah but why would anyone want to pay more for a new digital copy of a game instead of just buying a used physical copy? I mean I guess maybe if you didn’t have an optical drive, but I bet a usb optical drive and an original copy would be cheaper than the new digital version

There’s actually a hack to make sync automatic, I’ve been using it and it works perfectly https://github.com/draumaz/kdeconnectbidirectionalclipboard

Does Windows not run the originals anymore? My original copy of the Sims 2 works perfectly fine in Wine so it’s not like it depends on some weird online service or something

I bought one last summer and the only problems I’ve had were some display issues which were solved by adding kernel parameters to disable all of the amdgpu power management (which as far as I can tell doesn’t even increase power usage noticeably). Other than that it has been basically perfect and way better than any other laptop I’ve had. I wish it had real suspend, but that’s just not possible on modern CPUs so that’s not Framework’s fault

Well yeah, the full saying is “Don’t tread on me, tread on ukraine instead”. They just shortened it

Yeah you can only use each piece of information once so you need to constantly discover new obscure facts

If you’re missing the hard drive rails for an iBook G3 (500MHz late 2001, unsure if this is true for other revisions) so you just use some paper to stop the drive from shorting out the motherboard then you need to be careful if the drive tilts towards the front of the laptop because it gets caught on a transistor under the paper and would probably snap it off the board if you pushed too hard.

That’s verifiably true information that’s probably never been posted online before, so all you need to do is verify that it’s true with your own hardware and then prove that it did not exist anywhere before this comment and then you’ll prove I’m not a bot.

This should be how captchas work from now on and someone has to manually verify and approve you I bet that would be super fast and reliable

They used to have friends and family but they have now become hotdogs

I mean yeah but you don’t need an expensive computer to play games. In the mid 2010s I spent loads of time playing games on my ~$200 something Asus netbook, and more recently I was using an old Dell Precision from 2011 I got for $25 and put a $75 GPU into from like 2018 until 2023.

I guess maybe the difference is that people who don’t buy expensive consoles or computers also don’t buy expensive games. For the most part I don’t buy things unless they have a sale for like under $30, so even though I’ve bought a lot of games I’ve probably paid less total money for games than the average console player.

If you don’t ask the community first, then what you’re doing is not “moving the community”, it’s just abandoning the community and starting a new one

Huh, I’m kind of surprised that’s a new thing. I would assume way more people own computers than consoles in modern times so you would think that would always mean more sales

Shapeshifting, I will take no questions

Huh, chatgpt seems to do this for all games

I like my Logitech G502, you can customize everything and turn off RGB with Piper on linux and I think it meets all your listed requirements
