  1. I don't think this is a problem in and of itself. I would imagine SL has some overlap with the people who enjoy the virtual dollhouse/decorating stuff that a game like The Sims offers, as well as the virtual hangout+ social spaces that something like VR Chat offers. There's plenty on Steam that aren't your typical 'games' with goals/winners and losers and whatnot. The currency thing that others have brought up seems like it would make sense as to why SL isn't on there, though.
  2. If doable, I really don't see a downside to this. As you said, through friends lists and Discord statuses, this would help SL be more findable and recognizable to the broader general gaming community. Could also court a lot of people as SL would fall into the "Free to Play" category.
  3. I would unironically really like high-rise apartments (or not-so-high-rise) if they found a way to divide up the parcels in a way that prevented people from putting things on lower levels that didn't belong to them. Hopefully we get some sort of urban theme in the future, even if it's more row-house-styled and less of what this was.
  4. I find myself sinking into furniture often myself and my advice is just finding the right diet and exercise routine.
  5. I'm wanting a land one if I decide to get one. Will have room to park my car underneath.
  6. Yall are really gonna completely derail this thread over that?
  7. Any sims that have tornadoes or anything?
  8. Kind of agree with everything feeling a bit same-y. If someone who didn't already have a pretty decent knowledge of the themes and homes saw screenshots of any of the insides of any of the styles and homes, they'd be basically just guessing what theme/style it was. All the releases so far (apart from campers, I guess) have felt a bit like just different 'takes' on the Traditional. That said, I've still been pretty happen with all the styles and whatnot. Still, I'd kill for some brick/urban themes in the future, and I have to imagine at the very least we are probably getting some sort of modern theme eventually (a sort-of update to the Meadowbrook).
  9. Wasn't the last square region like that rumored to be commercial area? Maybe the BC could stand for 'Belisseria commercial.'
  10. Assuming the B stands for Belisseria? C could be.. Community? Center?
  11. For anyone that's been wanting to look more into the policing abolition movement, the ebook for The End of Policing by Alex Vitale is free right now. I've heard nothing but good things about it, and Alex has been making the rounds recently and is really great in interviews.
  12. Hope this is OK to post here, there's a game bundle that's out right now - $3400 worth of indie games for a minimum of a $5 donation towards BLM: https://itch.io/b/520/bundle-for-racial-justice-and-equality
  13. Regardless of intention, you actually have it backwards. Black Lives Matter is actually the one that means, "no lives of one race are more important than the lives of another race." All Lives Matter, on the other hand, is something that came about as a response to the BLM movement, and it essentially is saying "no, BLM is a pointless saying, let's go back to how things were before." Do all lives matter? Sure, they should at least, and that's the goal of the BLM movement, to make sure that black lives are not overlooked in all of this, because they often are. There was actually a really good Reddit comment I found before that explains before the problems with saying "all lives matter" as a response to "Black Lives Matter."
  14. Wondering if the double-thickness part of the train tracks here might indicate that I'm getting a little station put in behind my cabin.
  15. 1. Urban/industrial/warehouse loft type theme. 2. Modern. Think: Hollywood Hills type theme. 3. American craftsman/bungalow theme. 4. Spanish style theme.
  16. If the next theme announcement is at at the Dec 5-15 Christmas expo, this might mean we can expect them to release between Feb-April? Fingers crossed it's a city/urban theme.
  17. Yeah but whats the point of saying there are X homes and X are desirable when you're just pulling those numbers out of thin air?
  18. You go to school in the bay area? My school never went into there being X Linden homes and X of those homes being desirable.
  19. Not sure where these numbers are being pulled from, but someones gonna get hemorrhoids.
  20. Some of us think that orange and green area might be an urban area. See those alleyways?
  21. Yes, it is to bring in new premium members. No, long-time premium members are not getting stiffed. Tbf, existing premium members are already guaranteed income to a certain degree. This presumably is to get more premium members. But it's not as if new members have a monopoly, no one does. Is LL suppossed to give accounts that have had premium longest priority, in which case its pointless signing up for premium to members that have not done so already? The only ones with a real advantage, is anyone paying attention. They're doing a stifled rollout so that people can actually get houses, and they can get feedback and suggestions as the continent is made. It was a long time between when the project started (see the SSP thread to see the process and speculation from members. It was the better part of a year from when it started until when the first bit dropped) and when the first round of houses dropped. It would have been such a disaster if they made an entire continent with no gauge for how it would play out, and then have it fall flat. (Also, "ten more years?" really?)
