i love your whole post and i especially agree about liking the sims more than dream daddy so you're not alone.Gnosia wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2017 11:04 pm When they first started the sims I wasn't sure I'd enjoy it that much but it's actually been pretty entertaining for me to watch so far. Granted, some episodes are more enjoyable than others (redecorate and renovate all day every day) but I find it interesting to see the choices they make while trying to keep a consistent narrative flowing as they go along. I also like how Dan chose options for Dab to "mouth off" and for Dalien to make a mess during the family activity instead of keeping their actions polite and proper all the time. I think it invites a little more unpredictability wondering what might happen in the future as a result while not completely destroying the storyline of this unconventional but tight-knit family they've set up. It really is like a soap opera in a way and (this is a strictly personal opinion here look out) more interesting to watch them play than dream daddy. I guess more to do with how they choose the path the story goes and are able to introduce characters and influence other characters actions at a whim, whereas DD seems to follow a linear storyline they're mostly reacting to rather than actually engaging with in a way that affects the gameplay as it does with the sims. Then again I know next to nothng about DD so it might be completely different than I think it is and I'll keep watching the series when they upload another episode of it anyway, but for the moment sims has me completely hooked.
tl;dr: This sims episode was nice, Dalien's true form is a glitch in the matrix and Dan clearly needs to buy Phil one of those volcano kits for them to make together. He's already creating slime in his room, might as well resurrect science Phil completely and go for broke.
i think phil should do one of those volcano kits for his channel tbh. but maybe not in his room haha
I did watch the latest sims video as I was falling asleep lol
so i'm hoping that they either change tabitha's career or something, or focus on dab and evan more.
though I might be unusual because I had an awesome Geography teacher who made a map round the school with things for us to find for map reading, brought in Japanese snacks to try when we were learning about Japan, and let us watch Tarzan when we were learning about rainforests because apparently the background animation is actually really accurate to what a real rainforest ecosystem looks like.

dan howell gives me life 
my Year 8 geography teacher made fun of me by giving me a Russian nickname (Babushka) and then made Russian jokes at me all term... I'm not Russian and my name doesn't sound at all Russian, I was very confused 
). Second, you get to see them play as and react to an adult female character in it, and it's not for the lulz, which doesn't happen as often, actually. I agree that them romancing Tabitha probably started because at the time, Deppy didn't feel comfortable with anything short of the compulsory monogamous heterosexual storyline and I like that now they're embracing queer themes on their channel as much as the next gay girl, but somehow between the Dream Daddy and the recent games, where they play as women lusting (sorry) after men (off the top of my head: Horse Prince, yandere simulator), I like the idea of Deppy being able to play as a woman in an established relationship, so there's no pressure to romance someone, where they can focus on her career and personality. Which they don't, but that's another issue.
shit - how I miss this emoji - or is it because sexualising men feels safer for multiple reasons, you decide) and the double pressure of the phandom wanting them to do "gay things" (again, sorry) and Deppy not wanting to appear sexist (you know, this train of thought: "because we don't want to be seen as sexist, anything we say about women can be misconstrued as sexist, so it's safer not to talk about women at all", like straight progressive comedy hosts on American TV have been doing for some time now, if you need a joke about finding someone attractive, joke about a man), women just disappear from the discussion altogether. It's for purely selfish reasons, I admit, but even when I'm watching two guys probably-in-a-committed-gay-relationship play games on youtube, I like my entertainment to include women, thank you. That's why I like Tabitha and I was a little sad to see their second child be a boy, too. I recognise that, like with many things, Deppy just can't win, there always will be people disappointed with their choices, but what I'd really like to see more of in the Sims is them exploring her personal storyline.
