I've always been kinda disappointed that we never got more Ever After High. Descendants was nowhere near the character designs, story and *vibes* that EAH had, at least to my inner child. Sucks when cool ideas get scrapped because of external forces unrelated to the merit of said ideas.

You know what? I'll give the Kaunas airport this - those airport security machines that scan through your backpack so you don't have to remove your electronics are pretty cool. Vilnius should have those too.

Remembering the time a high school classmate, who I decidedly did not have a good relationship with, came up to me in the hall at my university and the first thing I said upon seeing their face was 'Oh God it's you'. One of the funnier things I've done.

i just want a nice general course on literature taught in english, preferably one with more forgiving expectations of how many pages I can read in a day, is that so much to ask? why do I get a course like that only for half of the first year and then have to read linguistic papers for the other half

sometimes i feel like living in lithuania is not so bad and it would involve a lot less hassle to just finish my studies here with the friends I've already made, but then I look at the courses I have to choose from for the next three years and think, maybe the hassle of emigrating is worth it.

I think a big reason I like Astarion's romance the best in BG3 is just because it feels the most naturally paced of the male options? Like sure, you get the opportunity to sleep with him the fastest but the development of actual trust and feelings is more gradual.

The thought of having to go to my old high school to get a copy of my diploma is so nauseating it has interfered with my sleep on multiple occasions. I can't go back to that building man, I just can't.

The post about japanese curry not looking like it should taste as good as it does is wrong. Curry both looks and tastes great, what the hell are you talking about. It has all the best food colors- warm brown, potato yellow and carrot orange. In what world does Japanese curry not look appetizing

Remembering the time during my last year in high school when I was lectured by a drunk 11th grader for being a buzzkill by adding a few ABBA songs to the collaborative party playlist. Like, I'm sorry for adding songs about dancing to the PARTY playlist ig??

I've been getting back into playing minecraft. I haven't played really played or kept up with the game since I think like the 1.8 version? Anyway, this is all to say that I was pleasantly surprised they added some new songs. Some of them have an almost stardew valley vibe which I really like

I looked up all the party reactions and somehow Minthara is the one taking this seriously enough. She's just like "that's concerning, we have psychopaths like that in menzoberranzan that we put down for being too bloodthirsty even for Lolth. Bit worried you might not be able to control your urges"

Playing a dark urge character means that you will have to accept that literally no one in your party takes your condition seriously. You can tell them "hey I have an uncontrollable desire to kill and maim" and they'll be like "haha we all deal with that sometimes"

My assumption is the teacher organising this wanted her students to do their own research on Vietnam, and making them present accomplished this. But still, I feel like there was a better way than this.

The Vietnamese students made a presentation about the Vietnamese language and it was unsurprisingly the best one. All the others felt like both a waste of time and like some sort of cruel punishment by the teacher who organised this

Today I got to experience a bunch of confused lithuanian university students give extremely shallow presentations about Vietnam to two Vietnamese Erasmus students. I have never felt such second-hand embarrassment before. It was beyond awkward.

I thought I would be miserable at vu because it felt like I was settling, but it turns out more than half the people in my group also didn't want to be here and are giving up/putting their dreams on hold. Truly the university for those not quite good enough.

finished chihayafuru. I think this is one of the few shows where that joke people like to make about how all love triangles should just be solved with polyamory actually sort of works. Like, I am not fully convinced Taichi and Arata aren't kind of into each other as well lol

And those worker-less mini supermarkets operated by sensors are terrifying and I think even the relative convenience doesn't fully disguise that fact. I can't imagine enough people actually enjoying that experience more to completely replace actual supermarkets.

B) See, I don't think supermarket workers are in that much danger of being replaced by machines. Self-service checkout still require lots of maintenance, and people often choose the regular checkout when they have a lot of goods. Some even like the human connection I think.

This job has made it impossible to enjoy the song 9 to 5 as much because like, I WISH I was working 9 to 5. How is a person expected to even get through one 12 hour shift without living as an energy drink vampire. I have been taking 15 minute naps during my breaks just to not die.

No fucking wonder the main character of that book went insane, like yeah the genetic disorder, abusive father, both world wars, surviving soviet and nazi occupation had an impact but also sometimes that's just what 12 hour shifts do to a person.

I too regularly contemplate cussing some particularly difficult customers/coworkers out while trying my damndest to be polite. I too feel downright euphoric when my break starts. I too routinely toss out little appeals to fate to hopefully let me get out of that damn building faster.

Every time I pass the magazine stand I see The White Shroud by problematic king of Lithuanian expat literature(to quote my brother) Antanas Skema. That book has some issues but man did it get it right with how it depicts the soul-crushing despair of a job.

I get so tired of constantly having to like, perform and be a good employee in front of coworkers and customers because there's no real place to withdraw to and be myself in. I'd imagine smoking kind of provides that sense of briefly taking your mask off in an environment that isn't all work.

I get it now. The smoke is a ward against people wanting you to do work. Smoking breaks are when you run away for a little bit to the little bench outside and you don't have to be an employee with responsibilities.

Before I got a job I genuinely didn't really get why so many people smoke or drink energy drinks. It seemed like pointlessly destroying your health for no real reason, since like, you can just drink coffee for the caffeine fix and the smell of cigarette/vape/whatever the hell smoke is god awful.

Oh I'm mostly referring to the two encounters in act 2 where you can talk the enemy into killing themselves. The first time is in the house of healing with Malus Thorm, the other time is with the orthon in the gauntlet of Shar.

Being a bard in bg3 is all fun and games until you start regularly tricking enemies into killing themselves. Like, I can't help it, it skips a difficult fight and I have the skills to do it so it is objectively a smart move, but boy does it make me feel like a monster.

I think letting the player design how the guardian looks is good in terms of initially making the player trust the guardian more, but also, it feels kind of cruel that after act 2, the guardian uhhh, no longer looks like that at all let's say. That's potentially hours of work wasted lol
