Can't you tell?
Spoiler:
Anyway yes. Mine are grey and orange though. Have you ever gotten into a fight? I mean an actual, physical, fight. |
I once have, against a bully.
Do you prefer to swim in cold water or in softer, slightly fresh water ? |
Never had the chance to try really cold water. I love swimming so almost everything will do. But as I said, never tried really cold water.
Do you prefer autumn or spring? |
Autumn
What is something you are unlikely to try? |
Any drug, anything that could cost me my health or life, and bug-based food... Well, lots of other things actually, like running naked in the Amazon rainforest :P
Spoiler:
Do you like your first name? |
It's ok I guess. Apart from tying me to a religion that I don't believe in it doesn't really do too much harm. Technically, it's even gender neutral. It's also fairly hard to corrupt so people have a harder time to make fun of me. Now, my last name on the other hand...
Have you ever slept in a tent? |
Yeah I guess once or twice, maybe when I was with scouts. Honestly, I don't perfectly remember but I am quite sure I did lol.
Do you live in the same city (or anyway near) your relatives? |
I live on the same piece of land as my parents, just in different houses.
Not sure if I can call it neighbors, since it's technically the same address =P My siblings live not far away, 15-20 minutes by car. Do you have a fixed daily routine? (or do you just get up and go with the flow)? |
Very fixed. Oh so very fixed. Get up early, prepare for work, walk to work, work, get home from work, spend the last couple days knowing you won't do anything meaningful before you go to bed and hope to be able to sleep. Rinse and Repeat.
Been doing that for many years now. It's never gonna change as long as I draw breath. Do you have a good constitution? |
...I think this means my countries constitution? I guess it works.
Is being too confident in yourself a bad thing in any way? |
Affixing 'too-' to anything implies its a bad thing. But yes, its the personality trait - along with being born into wealth - most likely to make someone decide they should lead a country and I don't think my country at least has had a leader who didn't make at least one colossal, millions-of-lives-ruined-and/or-ended level mistake in my lifespan.
Have you ever seen Aurora Borealis? |
No, but apparently I am in the right country to see some of them! (Going a bit to the north though)
Do you have wild big animals (wolves, bears...) close to your place? |
I might have seen some deer. But not much else. We have a small forest in the near vicinity.
Have you ever practiced your off hand to do things better? (basically trying to be ambidextrous) Quote:
|
Not really, I feel like I made my hands specialize in something each and if I change that, things go very badly :') I absolutely can't write anything with my off hand...
Think of the furthest place you've ever been from where you currently live. How much is that distance, more or less? |
Approximately 8,000km (had to use my fingers on Google Maps, can't get any navigation its that far haha)
How many e-mail addresses have you had? |
There's two I still use... one of which is a new one after it's predecessor got hacked many years ago.
There's one my parents once gave me as a kid. Two school related e-mail addresses back when I was still in them. So 6 ? What's your favorite type/genre of music atm? |
Anything heavy works for me. (as long as it's lyrically understandable).
Do you have anything planned for the last half of 2022? |
No, not really. Survive the Canadian winter a second time I guess, even if that's a plan from November to April lol.
Do you often get angry at a videogame? Quote:
|
I don't play games that often. And the ones that I do play don't end up being so frustrating that I get angry. The most angiest I was was me getting annoyed at Nier Automata years ago. I got pretty far into that game; pretty close to the end of the first loop. I died to something stupid and simply closed the game and have never touched it ever again.
What's the prettiest view you get in the place you live? |
Hmmm.... when all the tulips are in the state where they are ready to be harvested, but haven't yet, I think.
There are a whole bunch of same colored tulips in 1 row, and all the rows next together make for a pretty and very colorful sight. Other than that nothing comes to mind really. It's a nice rural view every day so nothing that's the 'prettiest' otherwise imo =P Do you have a personal motto? |
I'll just rip off pokecommunity.
"I'm still thinking of a better motto". What's your 'go to' beverage of choice in the morning? |
Water, it's what I drink most of the time, though. Tea and juice are just occasional things. And I just can't get into anything else, especially coffee! Hate that stuff!
What do you do when you can't sleep? |
I usually start watching something or I go tell my parents and they do nothing. One time I woke up at 3:00 and I simply couldn’t sleep, and I just waited for someone to wake up.
What is your favorite food? |
Pretty much like half of my local Chinese restaurant's menu 🤤
With the other half being good food as well, but not favorites =P I'll go with their Duck dish 🤤 Tipan Ap ? Ti Pan Ap ? something like that. If we count snacks I'm going with chocolate though 🤤 Have you ever drawn a fictional character from a franchise you like? |
I drew God of War's one and only Kratos when I was in high school :D
I've probably drawn Pokémons too, but that's pretty much it. Do you have any hidden skill? |
If I have one then I haven't found it, yet. Not sure if I'll ever find it, though. I think I need to be in a better place for that and have some other prerequisites fullfilled. ^^"
Is there an instrument you'd like to play? |
I always wanted to learn guitar, but for the last couple of years I have been seriously thinking about getting an electric piano. I'm just not sure if I'll be able to play it with my current limitations. I think some lessons might be in order first to see if I'm able. I've always loved pianos 😊
Do you make New Year's resolutions? |
Spoiler:
Nope. Never have, and likely never will. That sort of thing wouldn't motivate me anyway tbh. Do you check your horoscope? |
Not into that
What's an opinion you will likely not change? |
Negative ones about myself and the world. I could probably also come up with some philosophical stuff that may not change in my opinion. But at the same time a couple already did change so I won't.
Have you ever been on a boat? |
Yes, twice, once to go hiking on an island, and once to watch whales :D
Do you order your groceries? |
No, I just go to the supermarket once a week =3
How many cellphones have you had? |
Actually 5. But only the first and last one was not handed down to me. I haven't really used them much, though. They mostly stuck around because I needed one and others just gave me their old ones at some point. Though, this year there were some technology involving changes that made me buy a new one. Otherwise I would still be using that one that, by this point, is already over ten years old. xD
Do you have special apps on your phone? (Not the usual phoning or messaging stuff but rather things like drawing apps and whatever else you can get nowadays.) |
Banking apps, dating apps, a music app ^^"
Other than that I use a noting app on a daily basis. Do you often use your phone to browse websites? (I almost never do) |
As a secondary option. I don't like most mobile versions of websites.
Have you ever created your own website? |
I made a free one when I was a teenager.
It used templates though, so I guess I didn't truly design it myself. Have you ever contributed to a wiki-article? |
Never ^^"
I don't know much of anything to contribute! Have you ever been to a wedding? |
Yes, a bunch of them in fact! And I believe nearly all of them were the typical church celebration + "extremely long meal that lasts the whole day" deal. It's always very tiring even if you're just a guest, but I can't help but feel so happy for the newly married couples ♥♥♥
Do you wait a long time / care a lot about sales or discounts? Could be of any product of course~ |
A bit too much. I check that kind of thing repeatedly.
When a game offers a decent amount of character design customization, how long do you usually spend on it? |
Far, far, too long in all honesty! I'm a complete sucker for those things 😅
Have you ever stolen anything, even if it was by accident? |
Fun story time: I wasn't really a child, but like 13 lol. I went in a shop with my dad and I was kinda dissociated because I don't even remember the shop and what we were shopping. Anyway, I see some chocolate candies and I kinda wanted it so bad. I wasn't hungry, but I wanted one of those candies. I was thinking "well, it's just a candy. I can get it without anyone noticing." I mean, it's not a good thing to do, but it's still just a candy. So, I am a very nice and rule observer person, so it took me a lot of time to figure out how to get the candy without being watched. Somehow I manage to get the chocolate candy and once out of this shop, I show my dad and I laugh because I got it free. I thought dad would have laughed on it, because it was just a candy. Instead he was quite angry/disappointed and told me to get back and buy it. So, we go back in the shop and I tell the person that I got the candy.
The person says: "oh yeah, that's ok. They are free." lol So, basically I didn't steal it but at the same time I did? lol. This says a lot about me ahah Have you ever been to another Continent? |
I've been to three continents in total: Europe, Asia, America. Asia only for holidays, and America only for work.
Have you ever invented a new recipe? |
Does throwing stuff from my fridge together count? I'm not a cook and my best skill is to burn water. So I don't end up making new recipes.
Have you ever cut ties with a good friend? |
That would require me to have any first irl....
Do you find it easy or hard to meet new/unfamiliar people? |
Depends on my mood and on the person. In general, I find it pretty hard to become friends because it takes time for me to open. I am a top quality introvert, so yeah. I often am speechless or sometimes I struggle to come up with the right thing to say, because I am afraid to be a mood killer (btw it happened lol). But sometimes, I manage to go along. if the other person talks a lot, then there's more chances for me to get in the topic of discussion.
Have you ever done a big change in your life? |
I realised I am not that shy, and I can easily talk to people, including new people. However, I find it hard to physically be in places where there are new people ^^"
When was the last time you met someone new? |
If you mean someone who I actually bump into on a somewhat regular basis.... so not like random strangers coming up to me to ask for stuff like directions or whatever...
hmmm... a new colleague I guess... like... 6 months ago by now? maybe 7. Unfortunately a different colleague quit like a month ago so the short staffed issues persist xD Are you from a big family? I guess the term 'big' is kinda flexible, so... do you consider it big? |
3 older siblings. One parent. I don't know anybody from my dad's side of the family besides my uncle who randomly resurfaced a couple years ago. So nope, not really a big family. My grandparents are all dead too. Lots of family who I never met because they never contacted. I'm now an adult and don't care to meet them.
What is the most huggable pokemon? |
I'll go with Phione. People have been bullying it ever since it came out because it's not Manaphy! :(
What's your perfect work environment? |
Gotta work with imagination since it's pretty much a distant future.
I think I would be ok working both alone or in a team. I think they both have pros and cons tbh. Personally, knowing myself, I am not an enterprising person, so I guess team work would also be fine. I think that alone I would have to overcome extra challenges. What's a sport you would like to try? |
I don't know... car racing, maybe.

A second time a few years ago. The bond with that friend just faded, we moved on, each on our own path. A third time with a group of friends from a training course in another city. Came back home when it ended, and we still had Discord, but the server became desert. A fourth time with a friend who left to work far away. Lost contact then. What is the best moment you have ever had with friends ? |
Spoiler:
None exist to pick between.... though... I played basketball on a team quite a while ago as a kid/teen. One of the teams I was on came in first in the regional tournament. Although I wouldn't call any of the people I was on that team with a 'friend', it was not like I was on bad terms with them either. We got along well enough and the team worked pretty hard to get there. Closest thing I can think of, I guess. How many different jobs have you had? |
Not counting internships and stuff? So far I've had two paid jobs. The first one was simple assembly line work in a huge pastry factory. I was there as some sort of contracted worker from an external company for six months. Not only did I get pushed around because I was too slow for them. The whole ordeal of having to work in shifts had me ruined so hard that I not only had multiple mental breakdowns but also my last workday (one month before I was finished, anyway) ended up with me getting put into a closed psychiatric ward for a day before spending two weeks in hospital.
My second job is my current software dev job. It's alright, I guess. But I get going back to the thought that working isn't exactly for me. I just didn't have a mental breakdown, yet. That's all. ^^" Are you afraid of the dark? |
My last post was an answer to Megan's post but Piplup posted a few minutes before me so I missed her question, I liked the question about cutting ties with friends, and I have to answer Megan's last question!
Spoiler:

Quote:
So basically I no longer have ties with anyone I was with at school, and anyone (minus 2) I was with at the university ^^" Now my friends consist almost entirely of the people I met during my PhD. Quote:
Do you often think again and again about something insignificant that happened in your life? I do a lot lol. |
Yes, I always do that's why I am confused!
Jokes aside, yes I am pretty much an over thinker in general, so sometimes I feel bad for having made even a small choice. Then, yes it happens to me to think about the small things that I would have changed in my life. Do you still have a childhood friend? |
Nope.... 😢
If you could do-over any one moment in your life, would you? And optionally which moment? |
I'll go back to any date before February 21st 2004, so I can have my dad back. I was practically a baby so I don't know what I could do over, but if I could have any overturn there is my answer.
Where is the secret chocolate stash mentioned on the forum games banner? |
It's a secret! But rest assured I know where it is. :3
Do you change your desktop wallpaper regularly? |
Not at all. Mainly when I want to try out a new distro or when I want to change my style, but that almost never happens. Like, once a year mainly.
Do you have a fav perfume? |
I no longer wear perfume, but at some point I wore one of Zara's perfumes for men.
Is there someone famous you would like to talk to? Quote:
Spoiler:
|
Not particularly, I guess.
Is there a place you'd like to live in? |
I live in a quiet town, surrounded by nature and animals both wild and tamed.
I don't need to travel very far for groceries and the like (10-15 minutes by car). I'd like to live in a house I own myself yes, but I'm in no rush whatsoever and I'd probably not move very far if I did xD So no, not really. What's your favorite and least favorite chore? |
My favourite chore: ironing, I find it very relaxing, and as it's using like 10% of my brain, I used to watch TV series while ironing. I'm saying "used to" because since the quarantine, I have stopped ironing my clothes :O
My least favourite: cleaning the bathtub. Just so long, so annoying. Is there something you've never seen in a videogame but would like to see in one? [<= Not sure about the grammar of this sentence] Could be anything, enemy, animal, story, object, weapon, feature, dialogue, anything. |
I've been playing with the idea of reimagining the way you get your starter in a Pokemon game. The way I'd go about it is to hide a Poke Ball somewhere in your home town. Then later on the player is allowed to visit the first route. Then you get a mechanic that is much akind to the Safari Zone game where you don't use your Pokemon and instead just throw balls. The player is basically allowed to choose their starter by catching them themselves. It's also a little more logical to start with something that's fairly common instead of that ultra rare special starter that only lives inside the Professors lab.
I would also make it so that that Poke Ball is secretly a Master Ball so it always catches the target. I know this is specific to Pokemon games. But apart from Pokemon and Xenoblade I don't enjoy video games anymore these days. ^^" What's a video game series you used to like but don't anymore? |
Hmmm... there's a bunch I don't really play anymore because my computer just can't handle the newer games in the series =P
Comman & Conquer maybe? After C&C 3 things kinda went downhill for the franchise imo. Red Alert 3 was still enjoyable, but I sank way more hours into Red Alert 2. I still sometimes play the older C&C games. Unfortunately Tiberian Sun was my fav and is the one that's the biggest pain to run smoothly on newer computers =P C&C 4 is where I lost interest completely. I think I played it for like 4 hours or so to give it a try and then just never touched it again. And apparently... they haven't released any C&C games after that? =o Did not even know that lol No new C&C game since 2010... oof. There was a remaster of the first Command & Conquer and C&C Red Alert at some point... which I played for a while, but tbh those first games never hooked me as much as Tiberian Sun or RA2. I just don't seem to play the C&C games all that much anymore, not even sure if it's a matter of not liking them anymore. Do you ever pre-order any games or merch? |
Yes, I generally pre-order pokemon games, but more because I want to have them soon or just in order to pay as soon as possible. Bonuses aren't great here, so I m not doing it for that tho lol.
Have you ever regretted pre-ordering a game? |
I have never pre-ordered a game, I don't understand this practice ^^"
And as far as I recall, I haven't even bought games full price for like 10 years. Do you buy games full price? Spoiler:
|
I have no issue paying full price for a game. I've kinda stopped buying a lot of games when I realized that I just can't get into like 99.9% of them anymore so the few I still do like playing I might as well pay full price.
Do you cook your own food regularly? |
Huh yes, when I am not home with my parents, I always cook. Actually, it happens that I cook at least once or twice a week even when I am with my parents.
Do you have a favourite app on the smartphone? |
My music apps!!! They're on constantly! I also love my various night sky apps.
What was your first Pokémon game? |
Blue or Red.
Have you played any Pokemon spin-off games? Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Snap, Pinball, Ranger, etc... |
Lol yes, most of them. Pokémon ranger, all of them. PMD, red rescue team, explorers of time and explorers of sky. Pokémon Rumble, some pokemon pinball, pokemon link. Maybe I forgot something though. I loved most of them tbh!
If you had the chance, would you change your career? |
No, even though I am not on the perfect path, I wouldn't change it.
In which country do you see yourself in five years? |
I don't think I'll leave my country in ever. I don't know where I even would go if I had the option.
What country has the culture that interests you most? |
Hmmm pretty hard to answer. I would probably answer to this question in two different ways: cultures that interests me the most because I don't know much about them and cultures that interests me to a point that I would take part in it.
- Cultures I would like to know more about: Taiwan, China and Singapore because it's a melting pot of different ethnicities but they kinda live together, so I guess there's more cultural exchange. - Cultures that interest me to a point I would take part in it: probably Japan, but not as a stranger lol. Do you own a bycicle? Do you use it often in your town/city? |
I own a bicycle, it is not with me in Canada, and I haven't used it in like 15 years.
Would you change the usual starter types for Pokémon? (maybe use another triangle that grass/water/fire, or something completely different) |
I wouldn't mind if they did, for some variety, but I've gotten used to it so I don't think I would.
Are there any creatures from Mythology that you find fascinating? |
There are a bunch of creatures/ beings from Greek and Norse mythology that are kinda fascinating. But our culture has adapted them to such a degree that they are a little too common to me. Instead, I think I'd rather see some new stuff. Like from Japanese or even Aztec/Maian culture and the likes. I don't have any particular creature, though.
What's a food you'd like to try out? |
Crocodile meat. A colleague worked in some country of Africa and told me she had crocodile meat. Since then I'm rooting to try this! (Even if she said it was a bit tasteless like chicken)
What consoles do you own? |
GameBoy Advance, DS Lite, 3DS XL and Switch if we're talking functioning ones.
Oh and a stray PSP as the only non-nintendo survivor =P Used to have a SNES and N64, but they're RIP. Me and my brother pooled our money for a PS2 long ago, but that's also RIP. When you've got your eye on something you want to buy do you keep an eye out for a sale, or maybe other sellers, or do you buy it right away where you saw it? |
Even if I want to buy something it may still take some time until I do. There have been countless times when I wanted to buy something, went to the store, didn't buy it, went home and came back later just to get it, anyway. I can be very hesitant when it comes to buying new stuff and many times I never actually end up buying what I wanted to get.
But I usually don't care much for sales. Sure, spending less is a nice bonus. But it doesn't matter as much. And especially nowadays most of the stuff I buy is just food. Current times just make it easy to not spend money on nonessential stuff. ^^" Have you ever done Origami? |
Nope. I find them nice and interesting tho.
What's a language you'd like to learn? |
I would dearly love to continue attempting to learn Japanese but I think that ship has sailed unfortunately ;(
Do bonuses sway you to pre-order games? |
Not really. If I pre-order a game I'm usually already gonna buy it anyway and just grab it early for bonus stuff.
I've never bought a game I'm not interested in just because it has good pre-order stuff xD Most pre-order stuff is pretty 'meh' nowadays anyway. Have you ever watched a movie on youtube? Like, movies you have to pay for? |
I have watched Akira on Youtube (it is freely available).
I have paid for one TV show from my country + the movie sequel, because during the first quarantine, I wanted something that I know can make me laugh. Have you ever had a worm in some fruit you were going to eat? I have even bitten one... It was bitter and sour. |
Nope, but other insects...it was not a pleasant surprise.
What's something you lost a long time ago that you still like to get back? |
My sanity? 😜
I don't really know what to mention, but one thing came to mind so I'll just go with that, even if it's not really that important to me. I had Pokemon Marbles as a kid, including a launcher and some cloth bags with Pokemon images on them to put the marbles in. I found the marbles and the Poke Ball shaped launcher recently as I dug through a storage bin with my old Pokemon stuff from back then. The cloth bags are gone though, can't find them anywhere. They were nothing amazing, but they were nice to have. If you could learn to operate any piece of machinery, what would it be? |
This one! Does it count ? XD
What book (from your favourite video game) would you like to get ? A novel ? A guide ? A comic ? |
I'm not sure I understand the question ^^"
You mean, a book from a videogame? Like the books you find in Skyrim? Or a book inspired by a videogame? I'd like to see a novel form for Dark Souls 3 :3 If you could be transfered to a fictive world and live there from now on, which would you choose? |
Probably one I made myself? The fictional worlds I've seen so far are full of troubles and some of them are insanely so.
If you were to come up with a story, what setting would it have? |
The story would be about Aurelia the Glaceon who sets out on quest to defeat every Pokemon there is in a fight and officially be titled the strongest!
After I win I put all the defeated specimens on ice and start an icy museum =D Spoiler:
Hmmm... atm I think I'd just go with an isekai like setting where I get reincarnated as a human Glaceon and use my icy powers to save the world. I mean... 😉 Do you like it where you live or would you rather move? |
Hmmm, not sure. I am considering leaving, even if family is quite important and I don't want to be too far from them, especially because I am an only child. Definitely, I am not staying where I was born because it's a very small city. I don't like it here. I like bigger cities, so I guess I'd rather stay in northern Italy. I am also considering moving abroad, but same thing I said before. All things considered, Scandinavian Countries seem to be really good, but they're still quite far tbh! I am also considering UK, but it's pretty expensive and I haven't made a choice yet. I used to plan a lot, now it's kinda like I don't wanna do it anymore, I just go with the flow.
What's the Country that fascinates you the most? |
I guess countries that fascinate me in a rather negative way are both the US and the UK. They're currently in such a bad state politically to a point where you just have to wonder how much worse it can even get. It's like this phenomenon where you can't look away from a train wreck... <_<
If you could change one policy of one country: what would that entail? |
To go with something recent... Legalize abortion in the US.
I'd also forcibly shove the metric system down their throats and get rid of Fahrenheit while at it. 😇 What would be your dream job? |
Researcher in mathematics? 😇
Do you prefer when the soundtrack of the final boss is over-epic, or when it is more tragic / sad? |
Depends on the boss and the game lol. I can go with both!
Who's your favourite videogames villain? |
No one in particular. I guess I kinda like Kefka from Final Fantasy 6 and Malus from Xenoblade 2.
What's your favorite color and your favorite thing in that color? |
Quote:
Quote:
Balor, from the Myth series (not games for sensitive souls...) Spoiler:
What is your favourite video game hero ? |
Does the player character in games like Fallout/Elder Scrolls etc count? 😇
#BeYourOwnHero 😉 Geralt from The Witcher is a pretty iconic badass. If you'd have tomorrow off, where would you go? |
To my bed? ^^"
I need to sleep lol. What makes you buy a videogame? |
| All times are GMT -8. The time now is 6:47 AM. |
