Most of the times I buy something it's usually less than 15/20€ and I pay with cash, I basically pay by card only when it's a larger sum, so when I'm shopping for groceries or one-time larger purchases, or, regardless of how much I have to pay, at automatic machines like those for train tickets.

Lately I've been using paintings by 19th century painter Ivan Ajvazovskij as my desktop backgrounds, currently I have this View of Constantinople. On mobile I'm using a vaporwave style background that I randomly found on Reddit more than a year ago, I've actually been thinking about changing it...

Not as a challenge, but that's what I did as a kid in my first playthroughs of Gold, Ruby, and probably FireRed too, using my starter for every battle! I remember that in Ruby I got stuck early on (I think in Dewford Town) so that I already had my starter fully evolved and over level 40 by the...

I watch very little TV or movies (I find movies particularly attention-demanding, and I need to pause them frequently if I watch them), and tend to prefer less mainstream music styles so there's a lot of shows/movies/music from pop culture that I have never watched or listened. For example I've...

Mine are Grass, Bug, Fairy, Ice, and Psychic. Grass is definitely my favorite, while the others are in no particular order.

I'm right-handed, and even if I tried to train writing with my left hand in the past, I never had enough constance to keep practising it. It certainly doesn't help that I don't write a lot by hand and when I do I have to take notes really fast and as neatly as possible.

The Pokémon from those gens are already part of the reason why I consider Johto and Sinnoh my joint-favourite regions, but I might give Johto the upper hand here, Gen 2 has many of my favourite Pokémon and very few ones that I don't like, and overall my favourite starter trio design-wise...

Gen 3 and Gen 4 - so much that I bought Emerald and Diamond day one (and if we count games that featured Pokémon and were released around that time, SSBB too - and those are three out of the only five games I've bought day one!). Gen 4 was the generation I spent most time on as I kept trying...

I listen to it (specifically, the ChilledCow playlists on Spotify) when I'm reading something and don't want to hear anything from outside, it's been my go-to "reading music" for a while now.

Excluding the Red Gyarados, IIRC it was a shiny Skarmory in FireRed.

My starter Charizard in FireRed (actually my third Pokémon game).

I've had four phones in my entire life (five if I count my father's old feature phone that I used for a while when I was 11). - the first one was a feature phone that lasted me three years. I changed it (it was 2011 and I was 14, for context) not because it was not working anymore but because I...

What I like the most about Pokémon games is exploration and completing the Dex. So my ideal Pokémon game would first of all have all of its Pokémon available without trading, and be structured like this: Larger routes with optional areas - one of the reasons why I loved the Gen 3 and especially...

I prefer to use my Last.fm stats as Spotify is only one of the places I listen music from, and Spotify Wrapped only has data from the first ten months of the year. My stats of 2020 so far are: Top artists: 1. Ozric Tentacles 2. Burial 3. Van der Graaf Generator 4. Goldfrapp 5. Sufjan Stevens...

I don't really watch a lot of video content as I always prefer reading (in this case, articles) or podcasts which I can listen to while I do other stuff; the main exception is definitely Jelle's Marble Runs - that is, marble sports. It's just so addictive and amazingly produced.
