I use Element (not X) daily, but a major frustration is that sometimes messages that you’ve received won’t show up until you restart the client. In the past a lot of “Waiting for this message, this may take a while” also appeared. In the android app there is also no search function.

Don’t get me wrong I love the concept and the app so far, but it isn’t nearly as polished as Discord is (which I also use daily)

Spectre.css 🫡

Viewfinder has such a cool concept, I tried picking it up but 5 minutes in my motion sickness got the best of me.

Still Baldur’s Gate 3. I don’t know if I commented last week but I finished my first play through (chaotic neutral). Was really fun and already started 2 other runs 👀, one githyanki run with custom Tav, Lae’zel and the gith hireling and a lawful good run with my half-orc monk oc.

Still playing BG3! It’s really fun but the combat can be quite challenging, even when playing on the easiest mode with a modded party of 6 and infinite money. There are just so many things I have to keep in mind… Or perhaps my build just sucks lol

Baldur’s Gate 3.

Just picked it up, never played other cRPGs or D&D but I’m really enjoying it! Not doing a lot of quests yet but just exploring. Combat is quite difficult to understand sometimes because it has so many rules I’m not used too, but I’d like to think I’m learning slowly.

The rest and spell slot mechanic is also quite interesting, as it forces me to not pick too many fights before taking a long rest. This is totally new to me 😅

For anyone interesting I’m playing as a human conjuration wizard and my party is Astarion (arcane trickster), Shadowheart and Lae’zel (battle master).

Same here, no snow, just a lot of water everywhere. I hope there will be another winter comeback somewhere before April, I want to go ice skating outside :(

Slay the Princess. Just discovered it, 100% it already. I love it so much. The soundtrack, the art, the plot, the voice acting, it’s just so awesome. I don’t normally like horror VNs (looking at you, ddlc!) but this one is less shock horror and more actual depth to it. You can feel the love put into the game. Sorry if this sounds too much like an ad, just hyperfixating a little :)

Oh and I think the snipers in the current Fortnite season are wayyy to annoying.

Best:

• Cyberpunk 2077 (1.6) My first open world AAA game, I really enjoyed it and even though I was a total noob the gunplay and missions were very doable. The lore in everything made the immersion so deep too. Great soundtrack too!

• Slay The Princess I really liked the writing and art. It really feels like a full experience, the voice acting is on point too (I loved The Voice Of The Smitten!!)

• Deltarune (chapter 2) I loved Chapter 1 and Undertale, and this new chapter did not disappoint either. Didn’t had the time to play it yet until now

Worst:

• Warzone 2.0 Made me realise those more realistic shooters weren’t for me at all. Had only played more cartoonish shooters before (Fortnite, Valorant etc)

• Hitman 3 Hitman is on its own really fun, but I just couldn’t seem to find the solutions. I got stuck at the Bangkok mission.

I will turn on subtitles for dubbed media too

Atomic Shrimp makes variety content about things like foraging, scambaiting, Amazon scams and grocery shopping

Sarah Z makes some really well researched video essays about niche entertainment stuff

Brady Brandwood makes videos about his pet lobster, Leon the Lobster, which he got from the grocery store

(YOU WANTED TO!)

That I understand, but adding your kids on your credit card so their score goes up and things like having debt just to pay it back is weird to me

Pretty sure we have some sort of database or Registry for people who don’t pay back their loans. And loans do show up when for example mortgage people do a background check on you

As an European credit scores sound so weird to me 😮

Oh yeah, you do need a credit card for some hotels here. So that’s a reason I guess?

Where I’m from almost no one under 25 gets a credit card, because most non-online/prepaid/crypto credit cards have an age or income limit.

Everyone over the age of 12 has a debit card here. I think it promotes healthy spending knowing you have a set limit and immediately see the amount of money change. Overdrafts are also not enabled by default and require an extra package.

Venmo/Cashapp etc are also uncommon here.

Americans getting credit cards so young is so foreign to me. Here you only get a credit card either for business reasons or if you travel internationally where the European standards for debit cards don’t apply

9/20 damnit, thought I’d be better at this
