- Comment on The funny thing about being a third-culture kid is that I have no idea if German, English, or Arabic is my first language 1 day ago:
Sometimes I will make jokes to my friends that are untranslatable to english, and giggle to myself about it, while all of them are confused lol… but I think im also relatively funny in english and my other non-native languages, which is fine enough :3
- Comment on What do you think about what corporations are doing? 4 days ago:
I had a somewhat similar experience. Except because sony wouldn’t even let me make an account in my country I couldn’t add a payment card, so if I wanted PS+ I would’ve had to buy a gift card for it for the country my account was set to lol. Similarly I couldn’t buy digital games or DLC without going through that bullshit either, so I just bought physical disks.
I was a teen then so not having a job also meant the PS+ thing was a bit of a cycle - I wouldn’t buy PS+ cause I had no games that needed it, and I wouldn’t buy games that needed PS+ cause I didn’t have it, as I only had a limited amount a month to actually spend on games :p
Anywho yeah, with not having to pay for online, having mods, not being so loud I’d often miss plot critical details, way better options for control configurations for controller, and actually being able to buy games without having to go through loopholes… well I just found PC gaming better in just about every way once I got a computer, so I really had to interest in the PS5, especially at the price range it launched at

Next thing you know, they’ll be charging a subscription fee for using the software.
It’s called PS+, and they’re already charging for it /hj
But seriously. The last playstation I owned was PS4, I had so many annoyances with it, half of which were caused by sony not supporting my country properly. When I got a PC I didn’t even intend to use it for gaming much (other than some indies I couldn’t get for console) but I found the experience that wildly better I’d never booted up the playstation again, nor would I buy any further consoles
Them heading down this route is definitely not gonna encourage me to give them any of my money lol
- Comment on Do you cheat in games? 1 week ago:
I’ve “cheated” in Minecraft I guess :3 like playing with keep inventory or peaceful mode, when I just wanna hang out :3. Or turning on creative mode to quickly fly out of caves instead of walking back, or spawning in more torches cause I forgot mine at the base
Other than that the only time I cheated in an online game was for a knock-off halo game. That game was shutting down, and basically the only way you could play it was if you had the files as it was not available for download anymore by that point… and as the userbase dwindled most players left seemed to be cheaters, so then it was just leveling the playing field :p
- Comment on why i love my country 1 week ago:
So in my native language we change foreign names to fit into the grammatical structure better, and one way to change trump’s name would be “trumpas” which is also our word for short :3
It’s unrelated, but it’s mildly funny

Lmao x3
I would not be surprised if there was another country where politicians have a stick up their ass about it tbh. But hi, I feel like it’s been a while since I saw you on any post :3
- Comment on SBA #264 Drank 4 weeks ago:
There was an attempt to remove the ban a couple years ago, by a different politician, but it went nowhere, so… fuck Veryga
Fuck Jamie Oliver too. Not for personal reasons, but he deserves it as well
- Comment on SBA #264 Drank 4 weeks ago:
We used to have a variety of sodas here in my country, that was sold in bottles resembling champagne bottles, and they had designs aimed at kids like this, until one politician banned them, and I shall never forgive him for as long as I live

True :(

I don’t know where you’re from, but if it helps im sure our politicians are as much incompetent twits as yours are, I just find other stuff to focus on, like culture, and the spirit of the people, or history :3

Yep! :3 🇱🇹🇱🇹
- Comment on time to starr shootin some AI execs 5 weeks ago:
I wish lol… discounting sales I don’t think I’ve seen any semi-automatic rifles here for under a 1000€ (mind you, we’re in the EU so that is tax and any other fees included). If I was looking for guns under a thousand, it’d basically be bolt action hunting rifles, sporting rifles, shotguns, and pistols lol. If I could pick stuff like that for 500 it’d make it a lot easier to collect fun guns
Also the image of a gucci collab with a gun manufacturer… now that would be the most american thing I’ve seen in a while haha

- Comment on im on day 11 of waiting for my up to 10 day delivery package and its maybe getting delivered today 1 month ago:
I had a funny thing with the package tracking where I could see my package being accidentally sent to the wrong city, and having to be sent back to the original warehouse so it could make it to me :3
Anywho, having worked in delivery im pretty familiar with how this kind of stuff happens where a package seemingly stops at one spot for a while, so I try not to get mad at the workers

- Comment on Why are games priced in € (EUR) quoted the same as $ (USD)? 1 month ago:
Taxes are always included in europe, so yes… though im pretty sure even with the sales tax games in the US end up being cheaper :p

Rasa :3 they also make syrups, and water, and fruit water (which I think is what la croix is) and other stuff ^^
- Comment on Mmmm tasty 2 months ago:
It’s not something I’ve seen around where I live, but in some parts of europe you can also get something called orangina, which has more orange juice than fanta, and also orange pulp I think :3
- Comment on Mmmm tasty 2 months ago:
Honestly it’s even interesting for me to think of the sodas here as more subdued cause to me they’re all quite sweet and strong tasting lol :3 I have heard that from people who have sampled both though.
Also on the note of antifreeze… it made me think of american fanta, which is an orange see-through liquid, and apparently doesn’t even really taste of oranges (?), meanwhile here in europe it’s a more opaque orangy yellow and is made with orange juice :3. I think it’s probably the easiest to see difference between all the sodas we have in both countries
- Comment on Mmmm tasty 2 months ago:
I’ve not had the american mountain dew, but I heard it’s pretty different from the european one :3 the one here just tastes like citrusy soda… a bit like orange and lemon mix, if I had to place it I guess
Funny thing is we have a local soda here with the name that would translate as “dew” :3. I do prefer that one; especially the lime & cactus flavour

I saw this asked on reddit at one point and I don’t remember the exact number, but I think it was a couple of dozen times above what would kill a human
- Comment on No one spells "lose" anymore 2 months ago:
As a non-binary person I do appreciate the ability to have non-gendered words in english :3 my native language has everything as male or female which is… Ugh
Also funny thing about the spelling reform - we had one here in like… the 19th century, though it was not because our spelling had gotten vastly inconsistent or anything, the main thing that was changed was that a lot of sounds written with polish inspired digraphs (sz, cz etc.) were replaced by czech inspired š, č, ž etc… and also the letter ł which was also a polish influence was removed… which is fair, we didn’t really have a use for it. We also still have the digraph ch :3
Either way, we used to often have things like old 18th or 17th century papers in our textbooks to read, and they were still perfectly readable with the old spelling if you knew those few changes, so it wasn’t a major change, though I do think it was a good one
- Comment on No one spells "lose" anymore 2 months ago:
Neither word is of french origin, im pretty sure :3
Anywho, yeah I know a large part of why english spelling is the way that it is is because of things like the great vowel shift, which came after the spelling standardizations, as well as the mix of germanic, latin, and french (norman) influences all coming with their own spelling rules (as well as one off words borrowing spellings from other languages like spanish), but as someone coming from a language with pretty consistent spelling where loan words are adapted phonetically, the whole mess of having to know the origin of the word to even begin to vaguely grasp at the spelling was an adjustment lol.
I mean, the weirdest spelling related quirk in my native language is that we have letters referred to as “nasal letters” which are not in any way pronounced nasally hah :3 compared to english, it’s a walk in the park
- Comment on No one spells "lose" anymore 2 months ago:
I spell lose as lose :3
When I was learning english I used to confuse the spelling though, cause the word lose to me sounds like the same sound as the double o in other words :3. Though once I got used to the weird english spelling rules I fixed that problem. Now if only I could remember which way round desert and dessert are…

I used to always make minecraft skins based on how I looked :3 there’s a few of them that even had my school uniform lol
My current one is a modified version of a skin I found, but I still picked it based on various characteristics of myself
