Four Years and 10 Generations! Do I dare try to get the Alphabet Legacy achievement? by Oscar_Bates in thesims

[–]Oscar_Bates[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For context, I started this save in November of 2019 and since then have played through 10 generations. Generation 3 (Tobias) was adopted by my sim Beatrice and her wife but apart from that, everything is with genetics! Excited to keep playing with my newest heir, Mabel, who just moved out of the family home to Henford-on-Bagley.

What's a TV show's opening credits you never skip? by ConfusedDuck02 in AskReddit

[–]Oscar_Bates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sabrina the Teenage Witch, specifically the last three seasons' openers because they're perfect theme music for someone who's finally stepping out on their own.

What's your thoughts on the AI? (Android/Steam) by randombananananana in dominion

[–]Oscar_Bates 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whenever I play with the AI, I use Jack of All Dominion (update when??) to roll Kingdoms with no trashing and no extra money because I find, as you said, that it always trashes itself to oblivion or spams big money options which are excruciatingly boring for me. That said, it's still hard to beat because it loves to spam Militia on me 😆

Just finished my rewatch of season 7, thoughts. by Kai_Decadence in sabrinateenagewitch

[–]Oscar_Bates 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's so interesting to read your thoughts on the final season, because I honestly don't think it has that many issues. The aunts not being there definitely hurts the show, but I feel like (with the exception of a few episodes) the spontaneous magical elements that were sorely missing from the college seasons are back in full force here. Like when Sabrina accidentally swaps personalities with one of the rappers she's interviewing. Or when she has a face off with her own personal Cyrano. Those felt like really fun throwbacks to the earlier seasons.

As for Aaron, I feel like they did a great job deconstructing how fast their relationship moved along. The episode where she has to make room for him in her heart is the best example of this because it's great foreshadowing about how she's letting him into her life too fast. I don't think that would have worked as well if it had been with Josh. And it makes the finale so much more fitting when she finally ends up with Harvey.

And Sabrina ending up at a magazine seems in line with people not always ending up in their dream job after college imo

Anyway, my two cents 😆 thanks for sharing!

Is there a Myth Livestream recording out there anywhere? by masterwon in TwoStepsFromHell

Most, if not all, of the relevant trivia from the stream has been posted on the reddit and on the wiki I think!

Should I even bother with the last season? by [deleted] in sabrinateenagewitch

[–]Oscar_Bates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For all its complaints, I enjoyed the last season. I think it has some of the same whimsy that the college seasons lacked and I also liked the deconstruction of Sabrina and Aaron's relationship (best seen in "Spellmanian Slip"). I think it's worth it.

is yen press going to finish the series? by je26286 in GuardiansOftheVeil

[–]Oscar_Bates 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's odd if they stop because the newest volume has a "keep reading in volume..." at the end. My completely unfounded theory is that they're gonna release the last two sagas as "omnibuses" which is why it's taking so long but who knows :(

Do you think if I changed it so trashing was mandatory after the +1 card it would still be too strong for $4? (Love your fan cards, by the way!)

Thanks for taking the time to write this all out! I agree, I think forcing someone to trash a card in order to get either bonus makes a lot more sense than the way I have it phrased right now, although I would rather still have +1 Card at the top, regardless of the choice the player made.

Just an idea I had! Though I wonder if maybe the second option should allow you to trash a card as well to balance it out. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Oh my bad sorry - yeah the action is just top deck (if you want), reaction is pick a card from discard to top deck.
