I don't know... car racing, maybe.

A first time after a year in a school with a few friends. They stayed in that school, I didn't, and lost contact.
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 ?

ReKoil August 30th, 2022 9:38 AM



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?

Megan August 30th, 2022 8:20 PM

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?

StCooler August 30th, 2022 10:15 PM

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!

Nope, but I'm afraid of hitting stuff in the dark lol.

Many many times. Not actively though. As I don't have social networks, I cannot remain connected to someone I don't actively talk to, so I need to contact them actively with WhatsApp. Also note that I tried to stay in touch with some people who didn't reply back.
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.

Three times: moving to another city when I was 20, starting strength training seriously when I started my PhD, and moving to Canada after said PhD.

Do you often think again and again about something insignificant that happened in your life?
I do a lot lol.

_confused_piplup_ August 30th, 2022 10:44 PM

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?

ReKoil August 31st, 2022 11:23 AM

Nope.... 😢

If you could do-over any one moment in your life, would you? And optionally which moment?

ZeoStar August 31st, 2022 1:32 PM

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?

Megan August 31st, 2022 8:19 PM

It's a secret! But rest assured I know where it is. :3

Do you change your desktop wallpaper regularly?

_confused_piplup_ August 31st, 2022 9:59 PM

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?

StCooler August 31st, 2022 10:36 PM

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?

Duck September 1st, 2022 5:30 AM

Not particularly, I guess.

Is there a place you'd like to live in?

ReKoil September 1st, 2022 9:57 AM

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?

StCooler September 8th, 2022 6:14 PM

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.

Megan September 8th, 2022 8:50 PM

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?

ReKoil September 9th, 2022 10:30 AM

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?

_confused_piplup_ September 9th, 2022 11:22 AM

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?

StCooler September 9th, 2022 2:30 PM

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 like it when my answer to the question above gives me a hint for my next question 😇

Megan September 10th, 2022 3:03 AM

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?

_confused_piplup_ September 10th, 2022 8:20 AM

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?

Starlight September 10th, 2022 9:55 AM

My music apps!!! They're on constantly! I also love my various night sky apps.

What was your first Pokémon game?

ReKoil September 10th, 2022 12:17 PM

Blue or Red.

Have you played any Pokemon spin-off games? Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Snap, Pinball, Ranger, etc...

_confused_piplup_ September 10th, 2022 1:33 PM

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?

StCooler September 10th, 2022 4:28 PM

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?

Megan September 11th, 2022 3:40 AM

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?

_confused_piplup_ September 12th, 2022 10:31 PM

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?
