Hi there!
Man, what a shitty dig to make about a tragedy of death that just happened.
…Maybe Ho could wait until they’re done clearing the bodies and rubble before using the incident as a platform for his opinions?
I don’t care if he and I share some agreement on cars and their overuse within our cities, that is in incredibly poor taste.
I say mould because I’m English and that’s just how it’s spelled here (we also pronounce it with a U, pronouncing it without the U as mold would be…strange).
Not an overly exciting response I know, but there you go :P
6?! They’re up to SIX? I feel like the second one only just came out the other year…
Which one was it where the USA gets invaded and the ISS gets blown up? That’s the last one I played, the concept and set pieces were very cool but the whole thing just felt too much of a repeat of the previous games, so I moved on to fresher stuff after that.
What is it with people trying to make the entirety of October into Halloween?
It’s one single night, it’s not a season. Is this the Americans trying to push it on us to increase our capitalist consumption or something? I see it a LOT these past few years.
What’s next, turning Easter into a month long extravaganza?
That guy is such a fecker, intentionally going around being a tosser wherever he goes and trying to give us all a basld name. God, I can’t stand that pillock :-(
Except it’s mostly Americans, and their politics mostly has nothing to do with me. Such is life I suppose.
Excellent advice 👚
Do you remember when EXTREME IRONING!!! was a thing?
Don’t forget that your employer doesn’t give you your legally mandated annual leave, it’s one of your basic rights, like sick pay (applies to the UK, and hopefully a lot of other places).
<3
Because how else am I going to get those deep creases out of my blouses!
Ahh, old hanging balls, gotchya xD
Yeah the medium of text can be tricky to convey meaning sometimes, I’m a pretty sarcastic person (gotta love using humour to cope with every situation, so healthy…) with a very deadpan kinda delivery on a lot of it, so I often find myself wondering if my intent came across well over text. Tricky indeed.
Anyway you’re cool, and thanks for taking the time to reply so thoughtfully :-)
Now, I’m going to go back to being drenched in a cold sweat! It seems that’s today’s COVID symptom roulette wheel choice! 💦☉_☉💦
It’s good to have a positive outlook, but it’s also important to be realistic, and know when to move your energies elsewhere, I think.
I could set my mind to becoming a good orchestral composer, but all I’d be doing is wasting years of my life and a lot of money and effort, because I know I’m not at all creative in that way. My creative strengths lie elsewhere.
I could stick with it, and become at best a very derivative boring composer, but I wouldn’t reach my dream or being a good one.
And I’d miss out on other dreams I could have been following that were more realistic and would bring me more happiness in the end, you know?
But yeah, you also have to weigh that against pushing yourself past your limits, because maybe you’ll be great at something you wouldn’t have expected!
I think in the end as with most things in life, it’s about finding a balance between idealism and realism that works best for you :-)
It’s still a win thankfully as you say, especially given that for me at least we’d be meeting in a European court.
Though in general I hope I never have to take valve to court, period. Honestly if that happens something REALLY bad must have gone down haha.
Like a steam deck checking its phone while driving and running over my kids or something.
When I was 15 that would have been the coolest shit!
Not to say it’s not still cool, my capacity for joy and wonder at the novelty of crossovers has just faded over time is all.
It sounds a little novel if nothing else, I hope it picks up :-)
Man, all business/capitalism/personality-politics stuff aside, it must suck to be a developer, artist, writer, actor etc on something for years, pour your heart into it for a solid percentage chunk of your remaining lifespan on this Earth, and then have it fall flat.
Especially if it’s not so much the thing you made, but stuff outside of your control that’s holding it back. Lacklustre marketing for example - I hadn’t even heard of this.
Your username vintage balls reminded me of those little rubber balls we used to get at kids, I don’t see them any more (maybe they’re seen as too much of a choking hazard now?), so they feel kinda “vintage” to me now haha.
Those things could really bounce! I liked the semi translucent ones with the rainbow swirl patterns.
To be fair it’s been less than a day, one of the great things about internet messaging is how asynchronous it can be, it’s great for calming anxieties about needing to come up with a reply immediately like if you’re on the phone or something x.x
You’re right though, I don’t reply to things often enough, partly because I’m very sick with COVID at the moment but also a lot of it is my social anxiety and fear of rejection.
I get so scared of what people might say that I avoid looking at the replies, even when I initially reach out because I want to interact with people and form connections ><
It’s one of my big problems that I need to overcome, I’m still working out how to tackle it, but I do know it’s a problem, and it’s mine to solve.
Alas I can’t afford things like therapy, so I just have to stumble around trying to figure my ADHD, possibly autistic (wish I could get seen for a diagnosis…), anxious, dumb ass brain out 😅
I’m sorry in the mean time for being a bit annoying, I don’t mean to be on purpose :-)
I don’t know why people are downvoting you on your anti magic bean stance, historically they’ve not been a good gamble with ones money :P
But this time will be different, I get a good feeling from this guy! Not only is he not out to scam me by giving me dud magic beans, but he’s given me a bunch of extra packets that I can sell to my friends too, and all he asks is a tiny portion of the profits.
So now I’m gonna have a magic bean stalk and some semi passive income, all from hosting just one Bean party a month at my place!
I occasionally put “magic beans” on there :-)
Are you like, those old multi colour swirly rubber balls we used to get out of 20p machines as kids? Those were ill!
I can’t wait to see Commander Shepard, she’s gonna be bloody great!
I wonder which origin they’ll go with…
