my working playlist of sim videos
I've been getting very well acquainted with games since being in quarantine.
Sims 4 is fun but I really wanted to order Animal crossing as well for the switch.
Also there is a software called homebyme that's fun to tinker with sometimes, (not really I kind of hate it) but at least it's free.
And then another fun thing is LUMION and Auto-CAD + CAS but you have to be a home designing geek to love this because it is complicated, and expensive. But this is what professional designers are currently using who are actually in the field of design and do this for a living. It's also expensive.
Boy oh boy do I love my tech bull shit. Like seriously, apps, games, cameras, editing softwares, torrenting, dark web, fucking with terminal and java script, Tumblr HTML, custom content modding on the sims, it's all... so insanely fun to me. Like I'm just a geek for technology bro. I go to the stores and just look at all this shit for hours. All the latest fun tech to fuck with. Like, oh boy. The apple store upgraded near me and I was in there for at least three hours fucking around with everything they had on the shelves. Like they have other cool technology in there not just iPhones and shit. and they had like classes they were teaching about Procreate (an app I love) and just... ugh. Don't even get me started. Digital design software is so fun. Building apps, building websites. 3D animation.
And in animal crossing you can design things too now, which makes it way more fun and the tumblr community far more interesting (and CUTE).
But yeah literally anything tech related, from space ships to remote control cars to, phone covers, self driving vehicles like, to military grade defense tools and Kevlar, like, just shut up and take my money it's all just so fucking cool, and I have an unending interest in all of, innovation of the modern era I suppose.
Don't even get me started about architects. Architecture was one of my first loves, before I fully blossomed into a full geek, I had a fascination with drawing ofc, and I liked to go on walks to get away from my college campus and take a breather (and smoke weed). And I'd chill out with a nice view of the city in my secret little spot, I was in an architecturally beautiful town to draw. And, I just started sketching the buildings and what I saw right in front of me. And I was like oh shit, I'm actually kinda good at this.
And so my fascination with, design and engineering began. IT doesn't surprise me, apple doesn't fall far from the tree. My mom is very much this way these are all 'traits' of hers, that I got. She is artistically talented, she can draw, she can do photography, she has a cinematic mind, she can write incredible pieces. But she is also very into design, color, lighting, engineering, technology and innovation. Forward thinking stuff.
My dad, is the technical numbers guy. Which I got his meticulous attention to detail from, and the obsessive ability to sit there and tinker with something for 900 hours (which my mom can't do). That is extremely technical. All he does is analyze, analyze, analyze the hell out of things.
Both my parents are mathematical wizards, very gifted in that area. My dad is like, nearly autistic with the numbers. He's won many awards because of it haha.
So it makes sense ya know, why I am the way I am. But anyway. I got on a completely random tangent, I have nothing to do I"m I quarantine so I'm just literally, talking for the sake of talking.
But anyways... Back to the Sims I guess, but what I'm saying is, there are things better than the sims to tinker with and waste time on, interest wise. And yeah, I'm interested in those things. But, I also enjoy wasting free time on the sims.
It's great for situations where you need a little bit of an escape and a destress thing and, for people like myself who like, need *a lot to do* to keep you interested, it has to be creative, it has to be immersive, and it has to be technical and complex- and aesthetically interesting. And a social tilt on it is nice too.
So yeah, I've just been enjoying the sims in my free time... having a blast.
Can't wait for normal life to resume though.
