[Forever-Free Friday] The Sims 4 (store.steampowered.com)

I've not played the latest Sims games, but I'm sure like a lot of you I played and enjoyed the originals a lot back in the day. Much like CK2 last week I'm sure it's only free so they can tempt you into buying lots of expansions, but the base game itself looks alright. Anyone played this one enough to offer any insight?

This isn't a giveaway, this is a free-to-play game.

I'm using the [Forever-Free Friday] tag for these occasional non-time-limited free games, you should be able to block that specific string if you don't want to see them

How does one do that?

Ah, I thought it was a built-in lemmy thing but the settings page in the web ui only offerers blocking users, communities or instances, not filtering specific strings. Do you use a lemmy client? I think most of them let you set a block/filter.

Yes.

I use Jerboa and I can't find any facility to block or filter a community's posts by text.

I guess jerboa is pretty similar to the web ui in terms of features as it's the official client, right? Either way you could try a different client (plenty of posts recommending different ones, I use Summit) or just ignore anything posted on Fridays with the tag if that's not what you're looking for!
