Whee, a post! :D It has certainly been a while, and I gotta say, LJ has definitely improved a lot since I last used it, which is much more than can be said for certain other websites... Good on ya, LJ
( Read more... )
I think I'm the only simmer in the world who has trouble remembering to take pictures. I just get so involved with playing and things happen and then I sort of pull up minutes later and think, "Ooops, I should've gotten pictures of that stuff." I think my brain is wired backwards or something. Or maybe it's just that sharing gameplay pics is pretty new to me, so I need to get used to it.
Anyway, I'm kinda thinking about testing the waters with LJ again. Or maybe splitting things. Like maybe using LJ for game documenting, stuff that people would be more likely to comment on, and using tumblr to post downloads to, which people usually just like or reblog, anyway. Or something like that. But then, switching back and forth like that might turn out to be too much of a pain in the butt. In any case, before I make any kind of decision, I need to check out the Scrapbook thingy. I'm guessing they give you adequate space? Because I *really* don't want to screw around with Photobucket again. :p
But you know...If a bunch of people flee back to LJ (from which Tumblr likely took a lot of business), maybe that would open their eyes. Or maybe they're just catering to short-attention-span 10-year-olds who never used the comment feature anyway and don't care about the rest of us. Because I'm seriously doubting that commenting is ever coming back to Tumblr. If they were going to do it, they'd have done it by now, I think.
I definitely had to train myself to take pictures when I first decided I wanted to take pictures, that's for sure. I played for several years without taking a single shot because I just wanted to play and not be interrupted by something like that. Plus EA really pushed the storytelling aspect to get people to post on their website, and I didn't want anything to do with that. Never would have guessed I'd be publicly posting gameplay so many years later!
I'm trying to be optimistic for tumblr commenting again...but it's sure getting difficult. Scrapbook provides one whole gigabyte for free users. If you want more, you have to buy more...or go back to Photobucket. To maximize my space, I'm just resizing my pictures smaller than usual (600 pxls wide, if you're curious), and with about 450-500 pictures posted so far I've only used up 12% of my allotted space. (So Scrapbook tells me, anyway.) So it's not an infinite amount, but it's not terrible.
