Worldbuilders naming towns: I named this town Elygwe’meth which means “Where the Dearly Beloved King died next to his Lover” in the language I invented and also a combination of the Old English word for diamonds and the Maori word for apples since that’s their main exports

People in real life naming towns: I named this town Big Falls cause big fall there

[bumblebeebats]

me poring over a fantasy map: Shit I already used that name for a town, I can’t use it again, that’s such sloppy worldbuilding

real life maps: There are six rivers in Britain called the River Avon, which means River River, because when the Romans asked the Celts “what is that?” they replied “a river?” and the Romans nodded and jotted it down

Terry Pratchett:

The forest of Skund was indeed enchanted, which was nothing unusual on the Disc, and was also the only forest in the whole universe to be called – in the local language – Your Finger You Fool, which was the literal meaning of the word Skund. The reason for this is regrettably all too common. When the first explorers from the warm lands around the Circle Sea travelled into the chilly hinterland they filled in the blank spaces on their maps by grabbing the nearest native, pointing at some distant landmark, speaking very clearly in a loud voice, and writing down whatever the bemused man told them. Thus were immortalised in generations of atlases such geographical oddities as Just A Mountain, I Don’t Know, What? and, of course, Your Finger You Fool. Rainclouds clustered around the bald heights of Mt. Oolskunrahod (‘Who is this Fool who does Not Know what a Mountain is’)…

Laundry Day Kitchen from simsza

6 New Add-ons for the Sims 4 Laundry Day Stuff.

This set has been put off for so long but I am happy it’s now finished and I can share it with you! The Sims 4 can always use more kitchen cabinets and counters. I was inspired when Laundry Day came out to make a companion kitchen. There also were no matching barstools for this pack so I added them in as well. Hope you all love it and happy simming!

Details:

Six new objects (Wicker Whims Barstool, Dutch Hutch Cabinet, Odd Ends Counter, Two Dutch Hutch Fridge Surrounds, & Odd Ends Island)

Each item includes all original swatches

Requires Laundry Day Stuff

Barstool found in Seating, Misc. §120

Cabinet and Fridge Surrounds found in Surfaces, Cabinets §100

Counter and Island found in Surfaces, Counters §125

I want to recommend @peacemaker-ic‘s No Occluder Applicances as I have altered the cabinets shader for even lighting.

Credits:

I used a lot of @brazenlotus separated Laundry Day items in the previews. Definitely worth downloading to go with this kitchen.

Thanks @pictureamoebae & @jenba for testing (a long time ago lol) and as always, Peacemaker for helping and keeping me sane.

**TOU: Give credit if you: recolor it, clone it, change it, upgrade it. Just please don’t upload under some shit, upload with lots, or claim it as your own. If you use them, please credit me and tag me because I would love to see what you have done with them.

Why do game companies focus so hard on antipiracy? I remember hearing they haven't been able to prove it damages sales at all, because most people who pirate either wouldn't have played otherwise or plan to buy but just don't have the money at the moment. And yet there's still entire departments dedicated to it. Not an accusation, just a genuine question: if it doesn't lead to a big impact in sales, why is so much money put towards it?

It’s primarily a timing issue. Most games have a brief time window at release where marketing and customer awareness is at its zenith. Unless the game is one of the few exceptions, that point is likely the highest it will ever be. This is the nature of product development - we have to spend a lot of money on marketing to build customer awareness/interest and there are always new games coming out who are eager to do the same. It is during this timing window that the vast majority of sales are made.

Not all game sales are equivalent. Somebody buying the game at launch is worth more to us than somebody buying the game a year later at a discount. Players who buy the game at launch will usually spend more on the game and enter into the continuing game cycle of continuing to play and engaging with future content like DLC, seasonal events, and so on. They establish the player community. Having a critical mass of players early is absolutely necessary for the game to continue running so that it’s there a year later for stragglers to buy on discount.

The purpose of anti-piracy isn’t to stop the pirates completely. We know we can’t do that. The purpose of anti-piracy is to make it less easy for people to do it during the release timing window. One core user experience design principle is to remove as many roadblocks to getting to the good part of the product as possible. This means reducing the number of clicks to get there, reducing the number of screens to get there, streamlining the onboarding process as much as possible so as many users get engaged and interested as possible. The reverse of this principle is also true - for every roadblock we introduce (no matter how small), we know there will be some number of users who those roadblocks will stop because the effort to them won’t be worth it. We often call this innate resistance to forward movement in users “friction”. Anti-piracy measures serve to provide more friction during that critical launch time window to buy enough time for the game to establish its foothold with paying users.

[adultprivilege]

If you tell teen couples that they're going to break up or that their love isnt real, you're an asshole.

Of course YOU feel that way, because most relationships fail, even in adulthood. That doesn't mean it's less real. I dont see anybody telling adult straight couples their love is fake (and that is NOT an invitation)

If you want to give unsolicited advice to teen couples, tell them to voice their discomfort and dont put so much value into first loves and virginity. Don't convince yourself that you have to stay together because it's your first relationship. Don't think you made a mistake by having sex. Be ready to feel uncomfortable because it happens in every relationship and let them know when something bothers you, but also be ready to leave for ANY reason including no reason because if you dont like them anymore like that then the relationship is over even if you dont say it.

But honestly teens date so this probably isnt their first relationship. They might know all that already. They might just not need advice. Leave them the fuck alone.

telling ppl attracted to men that there are no good men out there or that men can’t love only normalizes poor treatment from men & doesn’t do anything helpful

[myothertardisisonthemun]

#the idea that all men are naturally garbage is super unhelpful#because it absolves awful men of the responsibility to be better

[irrevocably-illogical-deactivat]

#it also discourages men who do want to improve their behaviour but don’t know how

#by convincing them that they’ll be reviled no matter what they do

#learning how to change involves leaving confort zones

#and making yourself vulnerable by approaching other people’s spaces for advice

[autumndiesirae-deactivated20250]

Also also it perpetuates internalized hatred and low self-esteem in men who are genuinely good and it leads to poor mental health and the sense that as a result of being the gender they are they are automatically to be reviled.

[blinkeasy]

It can also make trans men feel bad or guilty about being men.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Can’t tell you how many times a week the “all men are trash” thing gets to me. As a transmasculine person I often feel like I’m seen as a traitor or deserter and tbh I had at least three guilt attacks about it just today. I’ve unfortunately become used to them.
