I have a group of friends I always play with.... and carry

I've always wanted to be that cool person in the group who's good at games and carries the group, but I've just never been good at the kinds of games I play with people. It is super impressive, though!

Roni January 28th, 2021 6:56 PM

last game i played with irl buddies was Among Us, and i wouldn't know how to carry there lol.

Setsuna January 29th, 2021 7:48 PM

I'd be the worst at carrying in among us, I've played maybe three games and I'm a pretty bad liar. I played with a group of people and my boyfriend automatically knew I was the impostor. Told me to team up with him for a round and I realized I couldn't kill him or everyone would know, so people just completed their tasks and won. Embarrassing...

Roni January 29th, 2021 8:14 PM

LMAO yes i'm awful at impostor. i pretty much just let my teammate hard carry while i do random sabotages and keep quiet during meetings.

Setsuna January 29th, 2021 8:35 PM

I'm the talkative kind of person so I figure people will probably just notice if I'm super quiet, and I just forget I can sabotage sometimes. Video games are fun when you just forget how to play your role, haha...

I've been looking for more gifs to add to this thread whenever I post, and man they're so cute...

Roni January 29th, 2021 9:45 PM

yea it sucks if you're normall talkative but can't lie to save your life lol. i wish there was a hack or something that made it so we could always be crewmate. i love just messing around doing tasks and tryna find out who the imp is.

Setsuna January 29th, 2021 11:01 PM

https://media0.giphy.com/media/mB2VDQZv3z3NaJJyLV/giphy.gif
This gives me the idea of some kind of mod where everyone is crewmates and it's just a speedrun or something where people have to complete all the tasks as fast as possible. Don't get me wrong, it'd completely destroy the whole point of the game, but it'd be funny at the very least.

Ooooo, so Shun's the "plays for fun and ends up winning" type? That is pretty impressive.

I feel like I try pretty hard, and it either works out or I end up making a lot of careless mistakes. I'm usually not that practiced anyways.

Not bad! I've since gone out for a walk (and grocery shopping) but the day's been a little slow. Which I don't mind. Got the chance to catch up on anime I've been slacking off on watching, and more preparation I'm doing for a grind in an idol game coming up pretty soon.

I gotta get the right girls, y'know?

Hope you're doing well too.~

Starlight February 1st, 2021 5:28 PM

A walk sounds really good, I could use one of those!

Is grocery shopping awkward where you live with covid restrictions etc?

I'm good thanks :)

I got a letter this morning saying I will be in the next covid vaccination group but I don't have an actual day yet, so that was weird / scary / good!

Setsuna February 1st, 2021 6:11 PM

Walks have been really kind to me, even though I hate wearing a mask so I try to stay indoors so I don't have to deal with it all. I was considering trying to go out more regularly after taking a walk maybe a week ago, but my mom's been worried about sickness and stuff... which is weird considering she was the one who sent me out shopping.

It's usually not too awkward, the stores aren't often busy (at least when I go around early evening) and it seems like it's all well-run and handled well. Apparently there's a big scare about it on the opposite side of the country, but I haven't felt unsafe or awkward going into shops. (minus the obvious, things like being required to wear a mask when you go out and sanitize when walking in)

Glad to hear, and that seems like good news, I'll admit I really haven't been paying attention to... a lot of this stuff but hey, that seems pretty good.~

Roni February 1st, 2021 6:50 PM

my neighborhood is perfect for safe outside walks considering how closed off and far away it is from the bustling city. also the fact that it's got really nice roads and walkways. just need the drive to go outside tbh.

and awesome to hear about the vaccinations Ash!

Setsuna February 1st, 2021 8:05 PM

That's pretty much the opposite of me. I wouldn't say I live in the heart of the city but I'm pretty close to a major train station, so while it makes shopping super convenient there's always gonna be people around. I like it when it's busier anyways though, I can stand out less.

Roni February 1st, 2021 8:17 PM

oooh trains! i've always wanted to ride one. sad that they're nowhere to be found in my province...

Setsuna February 1st, 2021 8:46 PM

Our trains are pretty much standard public transport and can take you between different cities, but they're really not all that special. I've been on a train out of the country and that's probably closer to what people consider travelling on a train to be like. I guess I'd describe the long-distance train trip as... it's as if you were on an airplane (the inside seems pretty similar) but you're obviously not in the air. I've only been on a long-distance train and a plane once each, but they felt pretty much the same.

As for our public transport trains, yeah those just feel like buses with more people on them.

Roni February 1st, 2021 9:21 PM

dang even planes are special to me considering i've only ridden them ~5 times in my lifetime (and just to neighboring provinces). i've been so interested in those high speed mag lev style trains Japan has. they're the first image that pops into my mind when thinking of trains. next being Thomas the Tank Engine lmao

Oh, the Shinkansen? Those seem really sweet, I'd love to ride in one. I can't imagine it'd be too different from what I've seen in anime and being on a long-distance train myself. Seems pretty cool.

Ash being ancient confirmed 😔

I love riding trains. Normally I only like "experience journeys" - steam trains and the like - packed public transport really isn't my thing, although the Shinkansen will be one of the first things I do if I ever get to Japan.

The best I've ever been on was the Glacier Express, it was amazing!

Roni February 2nd, 2021 6:07 PM

ohh so that's what they're called locally. epic name. wanna ride one even more now.

and yessir stuff like New York train rides i see in movies where it's packed to the brim with people is no bueno for me. i'd just want to ride for the experience, not make it an everyday thing or anything.

Yup, Shinkansen is the Japanese name of it, basically. They're just referred to in English as bullet trains though, I believe. Better to learn "Shinkansen" so you know what it's called when you get there, and the knowledge doesn't hurt!

Same, I would've been planning a trip for last November if, y'know, stuff didn't happen. It'd be cool to go though, since there are a lot of places I'd love to check out, and apparently my dad wants to go to see family, so I have an easy way of convincing him to take me. The language barrier is absolutely terrifying to me though, I've never really been in that kind of situation and I can't imagine what it'd be like...

Japanese can be, uhhh... pretty intimidating to learn at first. I don't know all that much, just basic reading. I don't know a lot of vocabulary, and it gets overwhelming when there are three different "languages", with one having 2000 characters people typically learn that can be pronounced different ways depending on context...

I think this is a good time to try learning something like that, but I haven't been able to do much because self-teaching is just not my style, and I've had trouble in language classes in school. I've still done (very) simple translations from friends and I learn a lot from the kinds of things I'm into (mainly anime and idol games).
As I don't really know the language much either (I won't pretend to) I'm not sure how much help I can be, but I've got a few links and resources I've sent to other friends who have been interested in learning it so hey, maybe there's something. Best of luck, Ganbaruby!~

that's tough. i've always wanted to see for myself just how clean the streets actually are, since apparently that's what Japan is known for.

the language barrier is indeed something that hinders me from thinking about going there too much. folks don't have subtitles below them sadly, and i haven't anything about Japanese since that one college class i took :S

Ecliptic February 2nd, 2021 11:59 PM

Japanese is pretty hard tho. I am learning Hiragana rn so hopefully it won't be too hard

Roni February 3rd, 2021 12:02 AM

ooh i know this! i think...

Hiragana is for native words and stuff, while Katakana is used for international/foreign labels? i dunno if i explained it right but i believe that to be the main gist of it.

I was attempting to learn it and had the same problem, it was all written not spoken. I've lost all of it now after being ill for a while but I am determined to start again when I can!

Cool / not cool, bonus story.

I was once fluent in German. I don't remember it. My partner used to watch me talking to german people via text and face to face. She remembers me being fluent. Others do too. I can't remember the language or speaking it since some head related trauma issues. Brains are weird.

the language barrier is indeed something that hinders me from thinking about going there too much. folks don't have subtitles below them sadly, and i haven't anything about Japanese since that one college class i took :S

How was the class actually, I'm curious and wanna hear what you thought of it. The thing about not having subs is pretty relatable though...

That's crazy, wow... I can't say I've heard of something like that happening to anyone else I've known, but I've definitely thought about stuff like that.

And yes, I'm quoting you still, it's easier and it's funny that we all just constantly get dragged into this thread and have to deal with it, haha.

It is weird but my therapists have explained it to me numerous times and it makes sense when they say it! I can now understand forgetting something, think of it like a damaged memory chip or a tape getting wiped. That sort of makes sense. Something you have is being taken away.

What has never made sense to me is these peeps that wake up from comas with a different accent or speaking another language. How is that even possible? It makes zero sense, I can't get my brain around it. How can you gain something you haven't learned?

Anyway, quoting you too 😁

Roni February 3rd, 2021 8:00 PM

i've been quoted, and must respond accordingly before i head back to work :p

the teacher was actually pretty good! Filipino guy but super fluent in Japanese, or should i say Nihonggo. has a Japanese wife too and she was a cutie! it was legit a fun class & i learned quite a bit under him, but for some reason the only thing that really stuck with me was otsukaresama-desuka, and i can't even remember what that means anymore lmao.

heya sorry to hear about you losing your German fluency :< that's awesome to think about tho, a German-speaking Rapunzel :p

but like yea, i've heard those stories of people gaining a skill too. like that guy who was featured in a documentary in a while back who became really good at piano after taking a big hit to the head. and no he didn't have any sort of training prior at all. brains fonny

That's the thing, I understand losing something, but how on earth can you gain knowledge you haven't learned? The only thing I can think of is that those people were exposed to that language or skill, maybe watching others or tv etc, and even though they didn't learn it, their subconscious must have taken it in. Otherwise, as a girl of science, I can only conclude ... witches :)
