EA did seem to do this kind of cross promotion in Mysims all the time, so I think this is intentional.

There seems to be a trophy of Faith from Mirror's Edge, and an outfit from Dead Space in Agents, so I wouldn't doubt it.

Good luck getting new fans.

If you have any free drives perhaps you could also try a dual-boot for Windows, there's no shame in using Windows if you need something on it.

You might could technically get it to work in virtual machine of Windows through VMWare or Qemu/KVM if it's just text editing, but it may be slow depending on your specs.

If you don't mind Krita and just hate the text editing, you could try mixing it with another program just for text.

Also my girlfriend made this comparison and I can't stop thinking about it. XD

A close-up of my sim, who oddly has the exact same expression as the next picture.

A "rate your pain" graphic often used in doctor's offices this one rated "1 - 2, Hurts just a little bit", a drawing of a smiley face with a pained looking smile.

I started playing Mysims again, and I have been having fun playing recently, the UFO essence has the coolest neon green. : )

I'm glad I'll get to play Kingdom on PC soon. : )

A screenshot of my Virtual Machine with MySims running, My sim is in Vic's Awesome Arcade looking at the back of an elaborately built flatscreen TV with game consoles attached to it.

Another screenshot of MySims, My sim is in Vic's Awesome Arcade looking at an elaborately built purple-blue couch designed to look comfortable.

Behind it is a neon green fridge with black trim, although it did have an elaborate interior filled with junk food and snacks it doesn't appear as such due to an overlay that the game already places when the fridge is open.

Another MySims screenshot, My sim is in Vic's Awesome Arcade looking at an arcade machine of Ship vs Eye, below the controls is a mosiac of an eye in space, and at the top of the cabinet is a space themed marquee.

These people are the same people who get bent out of shape when someone has the audacity to want Windows XP, but that's a whole different topic.

I use Linux Mint and even I have to open several Windows VMs to use certain programs or play some games, and everyone who says retro games work better on Linux than Windows usually only plays more mainstream games.

This is an unnecessary hassle for people who don't enjoy that process like I do.

I can't stand Linux users who answer every Windows problem with "Just install Linux", I feel like half the people who say that have no real grasp of the reality of switching to a whole new OS and losing access to several programs you either want of have to use.

Everyone's response is "Use the filter", but the damn filter **I am using** doesn't work if they aren't tagged.

Yeah, it's one of the things that bothers around here, because someone dear to me has betrayal trauma.

Now there is a chance that flat out porn shows up (Which happened for the first time today.) and would have caused severe distress if I was living with them.

I recently played Broken Reality and found this little guy, I love him so much. : )

The fact there is a whole bunch of them is great. : )

Wildcard Answer: Midnight Synergy's Wonderland.
Also Waterbugs or Cosmic Bugs by Retro64 is also a good choice for a low-spec PC. : )

BudderPecan @budderpecan.bsky.social · Jan 9

If there is a stubborn game with very specific hardware demands, 86Box may be a good candidate. : )
I think it runs from several pre-DOS computers up to Windows ME or 2000.

Runs Windows 95, and 98 flawlessly. (Which were the only ones I truly tested.)

However I think I'll be just fine since my last game was Fish Tycoon. XD

You unwittingly start a haunted version of the last game you played. It is modified in both aesthetic to reflect your deepest fears, and in gameplay it varies.

A popular and/or well known game is changed to be easier than the unmodified version, but the more obscure the more perilous it will be.

I think it's even worse on your end because they had to write "Grok" under it so mobile users know what what the hell they are looking at. XD

Apparently this has been out for months and I just noticed it today. (A dear friend likes to show me memes from Twitter)

I just burst out laughing at how ugly this thing is, and I am not even a logo designer. XD

This started out as 3D shape practice, and then I had too much fun. XD

I haven't posted in a while, but I just drew this whitetail deer. : )

A whitetail deer, touched up with a brush that resembles the MS paint spray brush.

Text written below it reads "Airbrush Effect".
