I like writing rants long after people think I’ve deserted the said blog. Then, when people chance upon my wordpress, they’ll see that I miraculously updated – only to be saddened by the fact it was nothing they wanted to hear.

But I’m consequentially bored enough to write a little letter to the sims community, just some things I hope we could touch up on. I’ve known you for many years, dear community, but lately we’ve been growing apart and… and… I hate to say it. It’s not you, it’s me. Okay, no – it really is you.

Dear Community,

1. s t o p . w r i t i n g . l i k e . t h i s . —-+}}} {it makes you look R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D} ///gb2 grammar school /// it was kinda cute looking when one or two people did it, and now everyone apparently thinks that the blatant slamming of one’s hand down on the keyboard is KEWL. I can imagine it working every once in a while, but when you start titling mundane things, such as “t h i s {is/] +++++++aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——–sssssss….im”, well. you’re getting a little overboard.

2. Fishing for compliments GETS YOU ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE. Be proud of your work or be humble, saying shit like “ohh mai dis work sux so much ugh ugh hate it ugh -_-” sounds pathetically like high school girls who cry that they’re fat to envoke sympathy from their air-brained clique.

3. If I hear the word “FIERZ” one more time I will murder a kitten. I am not lying. I know you desperately wish it so, but this is not America’s Next Top Model.

4. This is just a matter of opinion, but the amount of Simposing lately in the community saddens me. To me, frankensteining should be much more respected than it is, as it actually takes some amount of brainpower to get proportions/angles/lighting right rather than using a graphic 3-D interface, such as Simpose is. This is the only part of the “over-editing” controversy I truly have something against. I tend to respect people who frankenstein more than people who just fire up simpose and click some buttons to create a, pardon me, FIERCE POSE. (Speaking from experience. The program is incredibly easy to use, as I’ve tried, I still prefer franken.)

There, I said it! See… was that so bad? I mean, I know you’ll never change your ways. But at some point, hopefully you will learn to be yourself. But who am I to complain… I’m a small voice in a sea of a million, screaming out to the last shreds of the population clinging to that ever-far away thing named “sanity”. We’ll lose our grip someday, but for now, I choose to hold on.
