Maxis have lost touch with reality.

It's official. Maxis *ahem* EA have spent so much time producing simulated games that they've lost the ability to distinguish between reality and fiction.

According to MaxoidSam, items were hidden in the Sims 2 Glamour Life pack on purpose. It wasn't a mistake, or a half-finished buggy item tucked away out of sight to "finish" the game on time, oh no - it was to give the modding community something to do! Yeah, right.

My friend rohina got banned from the official Sims 2 BBS for calling him on it, though uh, the reasoning leaves a lot to be desired. But I agree. Two words, one of them being "bull", the total describing excrement of a male bovine.

*rolls eyes*

don't eat 8-day-old chickpeas!

Ooog. Remind me never to eat 8-day-old chickpeas again. I thought they were well-enough cooked to kill off any food poisoning germs, but they're not agreeing with me. Could be I killed off the bacteria but the toxins they produced were left behind. I, er, kinda forgot about toxins.

So I'm mildly nauseous. I'll be fine, don't think it's "proper" food poisoning, just feeling a bit blergh. It wasn't detectable by smell or taste, though, and food going off is usually noticeable. Most vegetables are either visibly damaged or smell sulphurous when off. However, chickpeas tend to smell odd when they're fresh out of the can or the stockpot, so I guess it's less easy to tell with them. Hence the note to self :)
