Sims 3 has the most hours played in my steam library, but I haven’t played it recently. I seem to go in cycles where it’s all I’ll play for a few weeks, and then I won’t touch it for several months, and then I’ll come back to it again. It’s a great game to have mindless fun in, and last I checked, the mod community was still going strong.

I finished Arthur’s act for We Happy Few, and now I kind of remember why I stopped playing the first time. Just finishing the first act feels like a complete game in itself, and it definitely takes up enough time to be a complete game, especially with how large the map is and with as many side quests as there are. It feels rather daunting to start all over again from scratch as Sally. I thought about playing another game before starting Sally’s story, but I’m afraid that I’ll do the same thing I did last time and end up not finishing it again.

It’s still not a convincing one though. If it wasn’t this weapon used, it would have been another, regardless of where the perp first saw it. I’m not a fan of Activision, but this isn’t on them.

Oh, I’m not disagreeing at all. Even with all the evidence that video games aren’t the problem, it’s a convenient scapegoat to point a finger at while ignoring those who actually need to be held accountable.

Every time I think we’ve moved passed this as an argument, it pops back up. They’ll blame anything but those they should be holding accountable.

People have always blamed video games for violence, even all the way back to Columbine. This isn’t a new argument.

I did the same thing. It may have been because there weren’t as many dlcs and expansions, but it just felt really dull. Plus it didn’t have the completely open world like 3 did. Sitting through all those loading screens every time you wanted to go somewhere was a pain.

Sims 3, with all its faults, is the golden age. Long live the mods.
