Ted has been thinking about PC games and bothering anyone who would listen with his thoughts on them ever since he booted up his sister's copy of Neverwinter Nights on the family computer. He is obsessed with all things CRPG and CRPG-adjacent, but has also covered esports, modding, and rare game collecting.
At a Q&A with fans, musician Kayleigh Amstutz—better known by her stage name, Chappell Roan—was asked about her Sims 4 preferences by a member of the crowd. Roan responded by revealing a deep love for The Sims 2, specifically its GOTY-style re-release, Double Deluxe, and even cited it as an inspiration for her style of performance.
I think that touches on a pretty universal millennial/gen z experience: Furtively exploring sex through videogames, getting flummoxed by non-existent Tomb Raider topless cheat codes or ensorcelled by spurious accounts of unblurred"woohoo" scenes in The Sims. We've all been there. I gotta imagine kids these days are seeing stuff in Discord servers or Peter Griffin creepypasta-themed Roblox games that make my generation's preoccupations seem tragically quaint.
On a more serious note, Roan then mused about the lasting impact The Sims 2 had on her creatively:"I was really, really involved with Sims 2. I still feel like I'm in Sims with Chappell—I'm Kayleigh right now, obviously, I have stains on my dress and I'm carrying my purse."how she adopts a distinct character when performing, a drag queen persona separate from her usual self."For Chappell, it's like a Sims character. I can dress her up and put her in a world.
"I loved to just make my people cheat on each other—something I do not participate in," Roan said."I wish I had it still, my Sims 2."Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.Ted has been thinking about PC games and bothering anyone who would listen with his thoughts on them ever since he booted up his sister's copy of Neverwinter Nights on the family computer.
