rika's thread
 
hi! is this the right season to revive these?

I'm Astronaut/Adventure/Daenerys/Rika and plenty of other names. I'm an admin here and I'm old and sort of agender. My fluffy cats are amazing and I own 6 mechanical keyboards, and me and my cats and keyboards all live together in Europe. I do some roleplaying here on the forums and have been on PC's Discord server since the dawn of time.

ask me anything :)

If you could design your own mechanical keyboard, how would you go about it?

Hmmm... probably I'd like to make one that has arrows squeezed in and some useful stuff like Delete and Home and End, so like a 65% size keyboard - but also has the F1-F12 keys on the left instead of on the right :) it might be vividly purple and blue with maybe some minty streaks because that combo is delicious to look at. As for how I'd make it ahah, I have some acquaintances who could help me design a prototype PCB and 3D-print a case and I'd have to make a custom keycap set somehow. It'd be possible but tedious! :D

Hmmm... My absolute favorite might still be Interstellar. It is so beautifully made and well paced, and the twists and story are just wonderful. The only thing I might complain about is that its tone is so strangely serious that we never really get much depth in any of the characters bar perhaps Murphy.

aaAAAA idk! Hmm. I've used so many good ones already, and I've gone back to them several times too. Astronaut is really nice and I don't feel like changing it :3 but perhaps I'd try something like... Skywalker :) inb4 someone steals that now.

That's very tricky, wow. How about I think on that one for a while and get back to you later? Fun question!

My friends are hosting an annual Halloween party! Complete with carved pumpkins, candles, fake cobweb and other decorations. I've gotta think of a good costume for it... A friend and I might want to go dressed to match somehow. Have any good suggestions? :D

At first I thought you were talking about keyboards, the instrument... so:
do you play or have any musical instrument? What about music preferences? Opinions on the Pokémon games' soundtrack?

I've played the flute, the piano and a tiny bit of the guitar, and I own a shitty (but pink!) ukulele, a recorder and a harmonica. Can't really play that though d: mostly I prefer using my voice and sing~

I love movie/game soundtracks! Also some pop and lots of outrun/synthwave/chillwave.

There are some amazing pokemon tracks. Zinnia's theme is a work of art, as is stuff like Unova's Route 10 and ending theme as well as Hoenn's intro and ending theme, and of course Mt Pyre, Hoenn Route 104 and Kalos' Route 16 I believe. And Olivine City and most route themes in Sinnoh! Ah i can't really pick favorites, clearly. The anime has its pretty tracks too, I'm a sucker for the classics like Tears of Life, Oracion and Lugia's Theme.

Earth, preferably somewhere I haven't yet been, like Japan or the US.

Although if it was possible I'd also love to visit a planet where aliens lived and thrived like us, and see what it was like :) preferable without dying to strange radiation or gravity or gases in the process.

Any dead planet would just be scary to see up close, don't you think? O:

Lots of soundtracks :) Some of my favs are from the games Journey, WoW, LoL (login screen music, surprisingly good) and from movies Hans Zimmer or Harry Gregson-Williams have composed for, such as Interstellar and Narnia. The composer for Journey is called Austin Wintory and he is a treasure.

i don't 😭😭

i'm a depressed potato on intense D-vitamin drugs all winter, and then I become like a cherrim in sunshine when april rolls around with actual light and warmth anew.

Don't stop exercising. Other than that, carry on little dudette. You'll be me one day, but healthier.

Swimming is great. Badminton is loads of fun, as is Ultimate Frisbee! But I mostly just run for exercise tbh, although I do have a group I can play frisbee with weekly when I feel like it.

Eleanor October 27th, 2019 8:20 AM

Ok, since you mentioned that in my own ama as well, what about typical... snowy sports instead? Skiing, skating, hockey, etc?

I don't know if my legs remember how to skate o: but I love skiing!! I'm still pretty bad at it haha, slalom I mean, but I love it. It's hugely fun, especially in great mountain slopes in good cold weather.

Difficult question, really. I've had many favs in different situations! Some of the coolest pokémon imo are Zangoose and Chesnaught and Sneasel. Some of the cutest are Skitty, Bulbasaur, Ribombee and Raichu. Dragonair is perhaps the most beautiful one. In the games, my favorite ones to use might be Zangoose, Alolan Raichu and Magneton/Magnezone. In a RP, I can have fun with just about any pokémon as I give them all personalities ahah. That's the origin of Sneasel being my fav actually, as I had one (shiny pink!) in a RP about a decade ago xD Oh, Chikorita deserves a honorable mention though! It might honestly be my overall fav, come to think of it. Chikorika ;)

When I've really got nothing else to do and have my phone on me, I'm loitering with my friends - you lot! - on Discord of course :) If I'm at home, my preferred activity is forum roleplaying or watching exciting stuff on Netflix haha.

haha hmmmmmm i wonder from where

I like that despite everything, I'm still positive and excited in life and about the world. Everything is pretty in some way and everyone deserves to be happy. There is always hope as long as we can imagine it :)

If you mean physically idk. My eyes are kind of pretty? That's about it lol.

IPAs overall, but I really love a good weissbier in the sun (as long as it is really cold) or a really thick liquory chocolaty stout on a special occasion <33

Not sure, I think it's always been there. It's moreso science fiction than space, I'd say :) maybe from watching Star Trek as a kid?

One day, for sure! Gots no monies now though. Nor time. But it is on my bucket list.

Eleanor November 6th, 2019 2:05 AM

Now onto some questions: first, since you got me a bit curious, what's your field of work and research? And second... is Sweden as expensive as I heard it is? How much should I worry?

I can tell you about my research on Discord ^^ it's kinda unique. But basically chemistry + electronics!

Sweden is pretty expensive from what I've been told by foreign visitors. Especially Stockholm! But maybe we get paid more too idk? No need to be afraid.

Difficult bet. The keyboards have the technological advantage and are arguably more sturdy with their metallic/plastic frames. But my cats are very hairy and might honestly be able to win via a cowardly tactics in which they hide until their passive Hair Attack clogs up all the mechanical switches and effectively incapacitates the keyboards. Brains over brawl or however it goes.

Eleanor November 14th, 2019 12:36 AM

before this ama thing goes out of commission...

do you think of yourself as an adult? Or maybe do you think you're still a child inside? Do you think your age suits yourself as a person?
totally not asking because I turned 20 two days ago

I think I feel like an adult now. Not sure when it happened :) I guess I'm independent enough, and don't feel old or worry about being old. I'm comfortable with who I am, and I manage my life on my own!

I certainly wasn't an adult when I was 20 though, and didn't feel like one either haha. So don't rush to feel that ;)
