A couple times. I highly prefer not to, so I only do it when I really can't think of anything.
Have you ever forgotten to redeem a gift card you received? 😇 |
No, but I've never received enough gift cards for this to be an issue.
What's your favorite time of the day? |
The gym :)
What's your least favourite time of the day? |
The moment between waking up and coming home from work. Sometimes even until longer. My entire life so far has basically been just survival moding through each day. :(
What's a good thing that keeps you going each day? |
Money. 🤑
What is something that cheers you up when you're in a bad mood? |
Spoiler:
Playing games usually. Browsing PC can also help as there's often funny shenanigans in this section =D Have you ever eaten food with chopsticks ? Quote:

|
Quite often actually! I eat noodles a lot and I find myself enjoying them more with chopsticks than with a fork.
Do you have a lucky number? |
Nope, I'm not very lucky in life; when I succeed, it's on me :coolcat:
But I don't succeed often. Can you work from home? Quote:
Spoiler:
|
I could probably ask and there's a chance I could. But our business ethics very much discourage a workstyle that requires working from home. Despite being an IT firm we very much work with concept that were created in the 90s and you know how well business likes changes...
Do you have your own business or would you like to start your own one at some point? |
I do not have my own business and I wouldn't mind having one. I just don't know how or when it would happen or what it would be about.
Is your physical health ok? |
I suppose it is?
Have you ever made a choice and then instantly regretted it one second after making said choice? |
It happened so many times I can't even remember lol
Do you study or do you work/wait to get a job? |
I've been with my current job for a solid decade :coolcat:
Do you keep leftovers and eat them the next day or do you toss it out? |
I try to eat any leftovers as I'm really not fond of wasting food, but I don't always get to everything sadly...
Would you ever go deep-sea diving? |
Lol yeah I would love it. I like all the sea related activities. Never really got over 15m down. It's pretty cool. It can be scary, but idc, my love for sea exploration is bigger.
Do you play an instrument or have you tried playing one? |
I don't and I haven't. I think it would be interesting to try playing an instrument. But I'm currently not thinking much about it. ^^"
What's your favorite piece of music? |
Hard to choose one, so I'll choose one for each of the three bands I love the most:
Spoiler:
What's your favourite meme? |
A singular favorite meme? =O
I... don't really know... Can I just shamelessly plug the one I made myself? =D Spoiler:
Cat memes, I guess? Because everything is better when it involves a cat =D Spoiler:
What's your favorite ride at an amusement park? |
I don't go to amusement parks. And I don't have a favorite ride, either. ^^"
What's your favorite author/content creator? |
I think it can be either Cydonia or Sabaku No Maiku. They're both Italian and their content is top quality. Cydonia does Pokémon stuff, while Sabaku makes content about most of games. His Dark Souls serieses are top tier.
What's the last video you watched on YouTube? |
"Sam Ryder - SPACE MAN - LIVE - United Kingdom 🇬🇧 - Grand Final - Eurovision 2022"
Though since it's a music video I listened to it while doing something else, so I guess it doesn't really count as I didn't actually watch anything =P There is nothing but music videos on YouTube in my recently closed tabs so I don't remember lol How often do you e-mail someone? I've noticed I mainly receive e-mail and rarely send out any myself =P |
Not typically. My last email was something financially related.
What is an experience that has made you stronger? |
When I looked at myself in the mirror in February 2018 and I told myself "you're shit", since then I have never missed a training at the gym (well I did miss some training sessions due to taking the plane or moving somewhere).
A positive thing that happened to you last week? |
I got a call back for a much higher paying job that is only a few blocks from home.
Have you ever broke any rules at work? It's fine, I may or may not secretly be your employer. |
Idk. I broke a couple pens when I was really frustrated. We do have a ton of those. So I don't know if that counts. Also, technically, being on PC while also being at work (aka not producing any profit) probably also counts. ^^"
What are you looking forward to this week? |
Bold of you to assume I even have anything to look forward to.... 😔
... seriously though I don't have anything out of the usual planned 😅 So I'm just gonna recycle that question and torture someone else with it 😈 What are you looking forward to this week? 😇 |
Finishing the first half of those God-forsaken study notes, doing some home-oriented shopping, and having my house's gas stoves replaced by new ones in preparation for the upcoming winter. (Not like we don't need them right now though... there's been an unusual cold wave lately.)
Have you ever had to cope with annoying neighbors? |
I do, and all the time, it was because of their dogs whining for hours when they're left alone.
Would you quit your job to be a well-known influencer? (On whatever platform you want) |
I don't think being a public figure would make me happy. Well, nothing makes me happy. But being in the public all the time seems like something I wouldn't enjoy. ^^"
What's a dream of yours you want to see realized? |
I know it's a little dorky, but the only real dream I've ever had was to have a family.
I grew up in an extremely dysfunctional one and although I'm far from the best person in the world, I know I'd make a better Parent/Partner than he did. What's your favorite meal? |
Spoiler:
Though the Duck at my Chinese restaurant is a serious contender 🤤 Do you exercise/work out regularly? |
I walk to work everyday. Takes like an hour. Does that count. I can't be bothered, otherwise, tbh. I remember working out a lot in my youth. But it never felt "good" and eventually adult life took over and I couldn't be bothered, anymore.
What's your favorite website? |
TikTok
Do you prefer to cook, order delivery, or go out to eat? |
During the week, I always cook, because I'm on a diet.
On occasions, or for my cheat meal of the week, I order for takeout when I'm alone or I go to the restaurant if I'm not alone. How did you discover PokéCommunity? Quote:
Quote:
Spoiler:
|
Google. I wanted to complete my PokeDex in Shield and started looking for Forums to set up trades.
Ended up registering here and somehow I'm still here and not banned yet. Have you ever waited in a really long line at a physical store just to get something new that's about to be released? Quote:
It's a casserole with ground beef in it and topped with potato slices, which is where the differences already start as Shepard's Pie seems to be topped with a potato mash instead of slices. Leek is the primary vegetable in this casserole, with some Paprika in it as well, plus a different sauce. |
Nope, I've never been interested in anything enough to stand around waiting all night. Most of my life I also lived in a rural area and we didn't exactly have much money, anyway. So, being interested into anything wasn't really too much of a thing for me, either. ^^"
But even now when I actually do have the money to spend I still don't feel like waiting in line for something like that. Tbh. I'm also very disillusioned by the politics behind products and the many ways how they exploit your psyche (FOMO and the likes) that I just don't care... I may still get stuff on day one. But it's not the end of the world if I have to wait a little bit longer. Do you carry around a handbag or something of the like when you're outside? Quote:
|
Yes, I never leave the house without my Louis bag
Spoiler:
Do you live alone? |
Spoiler:
What did you eat seven days ago for lunch? |
Spoiler:
Actually a week ago, on a workday, so that means I didn't eat lunch at all =D Are there any songs you know the lyrics to by heart? |
Yes.
The song is called 'Into The West'. Sorry if the sound is a little low, I just wanted to show off the awesome credits that accompany it. What movie have you rewatched the most? |
The Dark Knight Rises, Man of Steel, The Raid 2 and Kaamelott First Installment, that I've seen three times each.
And The Batman twice. I've probably seen other movies twice :) Do you binge-watch TV shows? |
I don't watch TV. The couple times I had access to streaming services I did indeed binge watch some shows (like Squid Game and the Castlevania series on Netflix), though.
What's your favorite insect? |
Lady bugs are one of the few insects I will go out of my way to not harm. Another one would be butterflies.
But if it's a fly or mosquito they're dead =P Spoiler:
Are there any birbs you see commonly where you live? |
Pigeons, gulls, sparrows during the year, but not in winter lol.
When is the last time you ate chocolate? |
I don't remember, tbh. One or two weeks ago, maybe?
What's your favorite ice cream? |
I do not like ice cream, sorry...
You have not eaten chocolate for one or two weeks!? 😱 Quote:
Do you prefer your food hot or just a bit warm ? |
As in temperature? My mouth burns easily, so I can't eat or drink anything too hot. Funnily enough though, both of my parents drink coffee as hot as magma!
(at least to me) (on that line of thinking) Do you like spicy food? |
I do, but it doesn't like me back. 😅
How long do your shoes last? Mine need to be replaced like roughly every 8 months... I walk a lot and they'll be completely worn down 😕 And my shoes are walking shoes with a thick sole on the bottom side of the shoe. If I were to use sneakers they'd probably not even last 3 months. |
Every year probably? Even if currently I'm only wearing snow boots for outside and sport shoes for the gym and the office, which have lasted for more than one year currently.
Do you buy the DLCs of all the games you play? |
If the games already include the DLC then I'll buy it. Same if it's free DLC that gets added later, automatically. Otherwise, I'm not going to spend even more money on a predatory business practice like that! :(
What's your favorite place to buy new clothes? Quote:
My jeans are even worse. After half a year they just end up with a huge hole right at the private place. :( |
Nowhere really. I tend to wear my clothes to tatters long before I look to buy anything new. Same with shoes.
Do you have a best friend? |
1 Attachment(s)
Spoiler:
Closest thing I have =3 Are there any series you're currently watching? |
Yeah, I mean, not sure if it can be considered a series, but I am watching Naruto.
What's your favourite show? |
You mean, TV show? I'll give you a top 3:
3. Fringe (about a section of the FBI that handles scifi/biological terrorism) 2. The Shield (about a corrupt anti-gang unit) 1. Sons of Anarchy (about a gang of bikers) Did you do anything constructive this week-end? Spoiler:
|
Productivity only helps the rich to get richer. So you don't need to worry about that. :P
Idk. I wanted to continue drawing a picture but didn't feel like it. But I did get pretty far reading "The Light Fantastic" which is the second Discworld novel Terry Prachett wrote. I'm currently going through the series in publishing order. Quote:
Quote:
|
Guess I'll be answering the constructive weekend question too...
Not really. I've just been feeling rather drained all weekend and haven't done much at all xD Watched some anime and did some shiny breeding, but not nearly as much as intended. Have you ever tried to write a story of your own? |
I have a HDD with around a hundred of stories I started to write but never finished XD
Also I made a Pokémon fangame with a story 😇 Do you wear perfume? |
Just the usual deodorant. Something that's not too excessive in its smell.
What's the oldest console you own? |
My 2DS I've had since 2014.
Do you like chocolate cake? |
Yes, indeed lol
What time do you usually wake up? |
Around 8:30 in the morning. My work starts at 10 and is not far, so even including travel time I have plenty time to do everything =D
What's your least favorite food? |
I think I don't have one. In general I don't like aubergine/eggplant, so maybe I don't like any meal that contains it XD
You get seven cookies. Do you eat one cookie a day for a week, or you eat them all at once? (or other?) |
Eat them all at once! Like, do you think I'm that strong willed? D:
Would you be willing to give something up that you enjoyed a lot if you realized that it also makes you feel isolated? |
No way in hell. I really don't care if other people like what I do, I've been burned by others too many times to care what anyone thinks of me anymore.
I'm going to be myself and like what I like even if that means being alone. Are you the type to reach out to others to make friends, or the person that needs to be reached out to? |
Definitely the person to be reached out to. Problem is people don't lol
Actually, yeah I have made some friends mainly from being the person who reaches out to people, but that was really hard, like it's definitely something I would avoid. What brought me to do that is probably the fear of being always alone. Yeah, anyway idk if it's the place where I am, but in general people won't have any interest in you, so you kinda have to learn to reach out to other people, I guess. Do you like rainy days? |
Yep
...Not much more to say there. How often do you eat breakfast? |
5 times a week as I tend to sleep late/skip it in the weekend. I need it on workdays though.
Is there a place or country you'd like to go to? |
Canada... But wait, I'm already there :(
Is there a puzzle in a videogame that you couldn't solve without checking on the Internet? |
Yep. Ever had to solve a slide puzzle? Those Pictures that are cut into multiple squares and one piece is missing and you have to slide the remaining parts into the empty space until you get the whole picture in the proper order?
Yeah, there's this jRPG called "Beyond the Beyond" for the original Playstation. It's basically the predecessor for Golden Sun (same company just years before that series started). That game required you to solve one of these puzzles pretty early on. <_< There are probably other games with other puzzles, as well. But this one in particular I remember very much. WHat's an old game you like? |
(I LOVE slide puzzles! :D)
There are waaaay too many to list here. The one I'd like to highlight though is my favorite game for the N64 (it also came out for PC(?) as well but shhhh) 'Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine'. Super good puzzle adventure/game that I've 100% over twenty times in my life. I've even done a very basic any% speedrun of it once. What's the oldest machine you've ever played a video game on? |
Our SNES back when it was still functional when I was a child I guess.
How often do you clean your house? |
Just my room and small bathroom lol, actually. Generally on Sunday.
What's your fav pokémon? |
Spoiler:
Quote:
Spoiler:
Which new game of a series would you like to see come out soon ? |
Ever since I've started playing LoL, I no longer play regular, single-player games XD
I think I would like a new old-school God of War game. Daddy Kratos and kid Atreus don't interest me much, I want my Kratos angry, furious, with his double blades, and without ties. God of War feels like a good quality average RPG-ish open-world-ish game, I prefered when it was violent beat-em-up. Do you like speedruns? Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
|
I like watching them. It's a good way to learn funny tricks, too. I think I tried it once. I basically beat A Link to the Past in only a couple minutes by going out of bounds and then walking to the credits xD
Who's your "hero" you look up to? Quote:
|
Who says Glaceons can't be their own heroes?
Spoiler:
Anyway... I don't really have one. What's the strangest thing you've seen being sold in a store? |
Has to be Sheep's brain! Pretty weird to see a full brain for sale in a supermarket.
What was your favourite vacation? |
When I went to the beach with my family when I was young.
Do you regularly rewatch some movies or TV shows? |
No, not into shows or movies. :(
Do you sometimes feel old? |
Lol yes, I do.
what's your fav season? |
Summer!
Do you prefer spending hours not doing much, or hours of high activity rythm ? Quote:
|
Quote:
I'll take a few quiet hours over hours of crazy energy any day thankyouverymuch. Are you a morning or night (or something in between) person? |
I'm usually just tired at night, but I also usually struggle to get started in the morning.
I'm often most productive at the end of the morning till late afternoon. Have you ever done any volunteer work? |
Yes! My internship year, the organisation I was in within my company went to do some landscaping for a nearby school. It was quite fun and a memorable way to spend my first week there :D
What was/is your favourite subject in school? |
Stuff that had to deal with grammar. So, it was English, Italian and the other languages. I didn't mind most of the others. I hate History though lol
What was your dream job as a child? |
I wanted to be a palaeontologist, and it was before I first saw Jurassic Park!
Also I loved dinosaurs, but what I loved most, was the reptiles/arthropods that lived before (in Carboniferous or Permian). Did you like dinosaurs at some point? Quote:
|
Not any more than most, I guess. I still remember watching Extreme Dinosaurs at some point. What an odd show that was...
What weird old kids show did you watch when you where young? |
You mean there's normal kids shows? 😱
Idk... I am Weasel, Cow & Chicken, Johnny Bravo, The Fairly OddParents, and probably way more. How much time do you spend playing games in a day on average? |
Oooh that depends. The joy of working from home means that number is pretty high! I'd say per day it's probably around 6 hours. Though lately it's been way less with the move and all that.
If you owned a restaurant, what kind would it be? |
The "Dark, Milk and White", where everything has chocolate and/or cocoa!
(I would already have more than enough recipes, hundreds, in my Chocolate Guestbook! ^^) Is you had a shop, would you be selling toys or video games ? |
Toys, because I fear videogame shops are useless, due to every publisher having their own online shops...
Have you been to a videogame shop lately? |
Physical videogame shops? Not in many years.
I visit online shops that sell videogames every now and then though =D Do you every use voice chat? |
Last time I was in a voice chat (that wasn't on accident) was many years ago. It was on a different forum where I was part of a user group that did stuff involving RPG Maker games. We occasionally had "meeting" to discuss things. I usually wrote everything down and posted it in our internal forum as a sort of recap.
I never really talked too much myself, though. What learning type are you? (visual, audio, writing down, ...) |
Kinesthetic. I tend to learn better by experiencing the subject at hand rather than merely watching or listening. While I have no problem learning with audio or visuals, I tend to remember what I learn better through experience and improve through trial and error. For instance, when I was in school, I tended to learn math better when I worked on many math problems as possible after the teacher explained it rather than simply remembering every formula or solution to a problem after listening to their explanations. In my science classes, I tended to learn better by conducting my own little science experiments on my own time after taking notes. Thus, I was able to fully understand the scientific method no matter how small such experiments were. In my reading and language arts classes, I improved my writing skills mainly by writing as much as possible and learning from the mistakes I made after having my grammar corrected. The same thing applies to my job skills as well.
Do you have any regrets in life? If so, what are they? |
I don't have regrets. I don't see myself doing anything different, given the information I had at the time of every decision.
Do you like to invent stories? |
Literally all the time. I'd say it's one of the very few things I'm actually good at.
Have you ever broken something of yours that was important to you? |
I've broken enough of my own stuff over the years. Some accidental and some in rage. The rage ones where usually the ones where I lost a lot of stuff that was kinda important to me. ^^"
Is there someone from the past you'd like to meet again? |
I can't think of anyone.
What's your favorite thing to drink? |
I'm a big fan of cocktails. I love making my own custom ones with different juices, syrups, lemonades and sometimes spirits!
When was the last time you just did... Nothing ? |
About three weeks ago when I got super sick.
Who's your favorite TV/Book character? |
| All times are GMT -8. The time now is 6:47 AM. |
