FYI, that Sims expansion is a snowy mountain one with winter sports, but the world it's set in is also based on Japan, complete with Japanese items and building materials to make our own house with. But now I'm playing Fatal Frame, with its massive focus on traditional Japanese architecture, all I can think about is building a nightmare house.

Also, the Scylla and Charybdis thing from the other day is probably one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, because I've read the Odyssey (or important bits from it anyway), and the thing is that Odysseus didn't plot a careful course between them - there was no careful course between them, that was the point. He just decided that losing a few of his crew to a monster was better than losing the whole ship and all of them to a whirlpool, so he sailed by Scylla and listened to his men being eaten. So I guess it is up to you to decide whether Boris Johnson/the government thinks a recession or a public health crisis is Charybdis in this situation, and which other one is worth dealing with to avoid it. Also, twat. Who cares how much (or little) Boris Johnson knows about Classical literature in this situation?

That is interesting to know about the Sims expansion. I can see why you are thinking of building a nightmare house given what you are playing currently!

And I am so, so sorry for how upsetting the political situation is at the moment. It's a terrible situation all over.
