In the Lord of the Rings fandom there’s a persistent debate whether balrogs, or Durin’s Bane specifically, have wings. The text in Fellowship is ambiguous whether what it is describing are literal wings or something else wing-like.

    The Sims fandom: whether The Sims 4 is a good game or not. Some love it and it’s the only Sims game they play; others hate it and it’s the only one they don’t play. It’s very divisive. Personally, I love 2, 3, and 4 equally, though I’ve never played the original.

      Did you know Sims 4 has certain low-tier items be less performant to ensure players buy more DLCs? Alsp I think early paychecks are smaller too, but that maybe art imitating life.

      That said, theoretically it was harder to survive in 2.

      The original is my fav simply for the vibes. The music is great, the graphics are charming and the gameplay is simple and fun. Great expansion pack content too. I still have all the original CD copies from when I was a kid.

      Sims 2. 4 It’s a bit too complex and realistic for me. I like the very simple models and ideas behind the older games.
