Sadly no... But I'd like to!

What personal achievement are you most proud of?

_confused_piplup_ April 13th, 2023 1:19 AM

I think my high school degree. I mean, I am almost there to get my degree in psychology, so I should say this, but high school was a very bad place under certain conditions. I was often undervalued and at the final exam, when some external teachers came I got higher scores, which kinda helped my self-esteem. I had enough of that place and I studied the bare minimum without caring too much, yet still having some good grades and I got a high score at my degree, so it kinda felt like I won the "high school game".

What's your fav anime?

ReKoil April 13th, 2023 5:47 AM

Gintama even though it's been a while since I last watched it.
A bunch of the jokes went past me as they were referencing Anime I hadn't seen yet at the time, which for the sports anime references still holds true lol. I should probably re-watch it some time now that I've watched a lot more Anime.
JJBA is also great and I loved One Piece before it became so dang stretched out.

What's a country you'd like to go to sometime ?

Given how tired I feel in general I'm pretty sure I'm not getting enough =\

StCooler April 13th, 2023 5:14 PM

Some countries of Europe: Poland, Germany, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Greece, Italy. Also maybe I should visit the country where I am now ^^"

Do you listen to the same music as when you were younger, or was there an evolutoin?

_confused_piplup_ April 13th, 2023 6:52 PM

*looks for Italian wells to welcome Cooler the Slowpoke*

Not an evolution, but rather different eras. One constant is I have never been fond of Italian music.
I have always loved foreign music, obviously not understanding it but appreciating the musicality over the lyrics, which explains a lot of my music taste changes lol.

I remember listening to random English music as a child and I loved Mika. Then, during elementary school I kinda got into classical music already as I was about to enter a musical class. I still have a Bach cd that I used to listen to quite a lot. I wasn't super fond of it, but I definitely enjoyed it and loved to recognize how many instruments as I could. Then, around 14-15, I got into pop, when actually it still had some sort of dance vibe and actual dance music from th 80s/90s. I still listened to some classical.16-19 I kinda preferred electronic music, always without lyrics mainly. I was into EDM but not like super exaggerated stuff, but I listened to several remixes. I wasn't really satisfied with the genre because there was a lot music that I didn't really like. So, it was more like finding a good song and sticking to the fee good ones.
Then I got a bit into hip hop, which is a genre that I really didn't like at first. In general, I still am of the same idea, but it became much more popular and so it was easier for me to approach it. I liked few artists and mainly Playboi Carti, not for the lyrics but for the musicality. Surely it's something particular in hip hop imo. I haven't heard much of other artists because they all sounded the same or it was too rap kind of thing and I didn't like that.
From a year (or maybe a couple) I am back on classical music and there's a lot to listen and to explore. I sometimes go back to some songs of past eras, but 90% of the time it's classical music. I love other artists too like Ichiko Aoba and Wet leg. Genres that never truly attracted me are rock, metal and similar ones.

What headphones do you have?

Megan April 13th, 2023 8:05 PM

I've gone through a little bit of a journey in recent times:
I tried out wireless earbuds that worked on my old devices but only had half the charge they promised (2.5 hours out of 4). I bought some new wireless earbuds (JBL) which have that problem that one of the two is a lot quiter than the other. At least until some random point at which they get as loud as the others. Haven't figured out why. They are also not compatible with older devices of mine which is a bummer.
In general so far I'm not a huge fan of wireless earbuds. :(

I have some wired earbuds (JBL too) that actually work pretty great. I use them when I'm home on my laptop which is too old for newer Bluetooth standard. The wire is also enforced so it doesn't tangle up.

Lastly there's a somewhat newer Sony wireless headphone (over ear) which seem to be pretty great. But they also only support the newer standard so I only use them with my Switch and my phone (at home).

All in all: 3 pairs I currently own. There may be some other ones I forgot because I never use them, though.

What was your dream job as a kid?

I mean, the video game music part is still true. I'm not listening to J-Pop anymore. But that's mostly because I don't really listen to music as much as I used to. I still turn on the radio and listen to whatever they are playing (it's the "culture" channel so a mix of classical, modern and older stuff).

Sweet Serenity April 14th, 2023 1:58 AM

When I was a kid, I always wanted to be famous, namely from acting and/or singing. I wouldn't have called it a dream job though because, as a kid, I never saw acting or singing as a "job," even though it pretty much is. I never had dreams of going to work in a kitchen chopping meats and vegetables everyday for chump change. I'm not really sure what my chances are of me acting and singing are nowadays though, but I still do enjoy singing as a hobby. Seeing plays on Broadway made me interested in acting and the most I've done was acted in plays in my school theatre classes.

Do you pay attention to the news?

Jbsundown April 14th, 2023 2:26 AM

Nope, not since I left my home country! I still hear about important things of course but I don't specifically look at things. Being in countries where I can't understand the language perfectly certainly helps with the blissful ignorance of all the ways leaders around the world like to make things difficult for us all :D

What was the last sport you participated in?

There's always still a chance! Plenty of incredible actors didn't get into it until their later years. There's some good websites online that you can find casting calls and just go and try them out! Go as an extra and see if you enjoy being around the sets at all. Or if you're looking at theatre stuff, try doing a backstage role for a night and see if you like what you see. Then just go to auditions, build up your portfolio and stick with it! Do you upload any songs or something? That could also be helpful for auditioning for more musical roles too :D

Alex_Among_Foxes April 14th, 2023 3:36 AM

Uuuuuuuuuhhhhh............ I guess the last time I did a 'sport' would be the time my dad hit me in the face with a fastball while we were 'playing catch'.
I was like 13 or 14 at the time, I never really liked to play sports at all. (much to his disappointment lol) I also had really bad luck whenever I did do some kind
of activity, like the time I was accidentally body slammed by a dude twice my size back in my old Boy Scout days... Those were 'fun'.

I wholeheartedly second this! I'd love to hear you sing or watch you act a part in a play sometime! Hell, if you ever traveled near my city, I'd crawl out of my goblin cave and come to support your performance!

ReKoil April 14th, 2023 6:28 AM

"What was the last sport you participated in?"
Guess I'm answering this too.

Last sport I played was Basketball, which ended in my late teens.

Do you play any physical board games ?

Megan April 15th, 2023 12:43 AM

Nope. Have no one to play with. <_<

Do you still have a favorite toy you keep around?

StCooler April 15th, 2023 2:19 AM

A small teddy bear that I've had for as long as I remember. He's a bit torn everywhere, I'm thinking about renovating him (yeah, it's a boy) :)

What traditional character class do you choose in RPG? (thief, mage, healer, tank, soldier...)

Oooh, good question. It depends a lot on the game being played. But lately I've been a fan of "monk" style classes, hand-to-hand combat stuff. So I guess I'd pick that? But there's definitely been phases where I play the paladin/warrior style. Rarely have I played a mage or thief though. Other than going for "loremaster" type characters.

What's the first game you ever completed?

ReKoil April 15th, 2023 6:58 AM

Ugh.... trying to remember stuff from decades ago....
Well the oldest games I remember playing were Super Mario on the SNES and Blue/Red on the Gameboy so probably one of those.

Favorite potato chip flavor?
Can't come up with anything atm xD

StCooler April 15th, 2023 5:14 PM

Roast chicken flavour :)

How many Shiny Pokémons have you found (not counting Shiny hunting) ?

A_NICK_IN_TIME2423 April 15th, 2023 8:17 PM

I have encountered one shiny pokemon when i was going to the electric gym in pokemon scarlet a ghost type and another in poke shining pearl when just getting encounters and my question for the next person how many times have you failed to catch a SHINY?

ReKoil April 16th, 2023 1:52 AM

One that I know off. Shiny Golduck in a Safari Zone, Emerald iirc.
Cant help but wonder how many shinies I've passed by in Violet simply because they are either tiny or hard to tell or both.

What's your preferred type of weapon in videogames?
Swords? Pistols? Magic spells? Bow and arrow? Axes? etc etc.

Megan April 16th, 2023 2:17 AM

It used to be sword, also considering for how long they've been treated as the best type of weapon in games. I've been trying to branch out to more interesting choices, though. Haven't really found a favorite, though.

Would you like to live in a castle?

Alex_Among_Foxes April 16th, 2023 2:31 AM

Normally I'd say 'YES!', but I'm honestly pretty content with just my goblin cave these days.

If you could talk to any person, living or dead, for ten minutes, who would you choose and why?

Have you tried axes or scythes? Those can be real fun sword alternatives depend on the game.

A_NICK_IN_TIME2423 April 16th, 2023 5:31 AM

I would choose to bring back Abraham Lincoln from the dead because it would be rather interesting to talk to a dead president and for the next person who views this message would you create your own pokemon fan game?

ReKoil April 16th, 2023 7:21 AM

I'm not interested in coding so no.

Do you ever take selfies?

_confused_piplup_ April 16th, 2023 10:01 AM

By mistake rarely. On purpose, never lol.

Do you nap in the afternoon?

StCooler April 16th, 2023 5:15 PM

I usually do, even at work :)

Do you spend too much time on your phone?

Megan April 16th, 2023 8:11 PM

I rarely use my phone at all. There are times when I have to use it for a phone call and sometimes I use it as a music player at work. And very rarely I use it for reference pictures when I draw something. Other than that not really.

Have you ever had to repeat a year in school?

I usually go with lances/spears or bows and knives (your basic Skyrim experience). But I've also not played a game in quite a while where weapon choice actually mattered. Like, jRPGs with turn based combat don't really play any different. Though, they're also usually the ones where swords end up being the best.

RadEmpoleon April 16th, 2023 10:23 PM

No I have not.

Have you been skiing before?
