At first, I thought choosing online communities for the community assignment would be easy, but it was harder than I expected. I had to stop thinking about platforms and start thinking about actual communities.
After thinking through a bunch of options, I decided to focus on the life simulation gaming community - specifically fans of The Sims who are now trying out Paralives.
Since I’ve been playing The Sims since the first game, this topic felt like a really good fit. A lot of "Simmers" have become frustrated with the game over the years because of bugs, expensive packs, and gameplay issues, so there’s been a lot of excitement around Paralives as a possible alternative (or at least some competition).
For my communities, I chose:
- the Paralives subreddit on Reddit
- the official Paralives Discord server
I’m looking forward to comparing the communities and getting more familiar with the new game at the same time.

That's an interesting choice! I have a Discord account as well, but I really don't know how to use some features.😅 I'm looking forward to your future blog posts about your feelings about the Discord server!
