My mother is Asian and my father is British. My father had a pen pal that was a friend of my mother’s, and my mother also decided to write to him. I believe they wrote for about two years before deciding that if they want a relationship, they’ll have to get married. So my mother moved to Britain and they were married within the month.

Before the internet (and Facebook) became more accessible, my mother would write to her family often and occasionally call, which was expensive.

I tend to prefer bigger games delay purely so they don’t release as buggy messes (hello, Cyberpunk 2077).

Hoping they use that time to refine what they have and maybe even have it ported to PC for release.

I don’t think I’ve seen a more gen-AI game before in my life.

I just switched when the API nonsense shat all over the actually good reddit apps, since I primarily used reddit on my phone.

I saw lemmy touted as an alternative and figured why not?

Dad fell for a Microsoft key scam. They were calling him about invalid registration or something. Kept asking for £500.

Stopped calling after my infuriated sister, who was living with our parents at the time, basically bullied the shit out of them on the phone.

I’m not sure about other places, but in mod comments on Nexus it’s fairly standard to just reply in your native language and have the other person translate.

You’ll often see discussions with one half in English and the other in Chinese, for example.

Ah, this is something I genuinely didn’t consider.

I suppose it’d be better to pick up the games I’m interested in on GoG and play them on PC?

Classism and stupidity.

Although they got a bit stuck on Hadrian’s Wall.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m British, but I always assumed that America is the way it is because we shipped a bunch of over-zealous loons over there that we didn’t really want here.

Part of me isn’t surprised as to how things are turning out.

I mean medical intervention is a common way to try mitigate mental health issues. For many people it can never truly go away, but the effects can be lessened. Similarly, there are avenues to help with obesity, whether it be the psychological or physiological aspect.

FFXIV’s Honey B. Lovely battle theme. Everyone else seems to love her theme but I absolutely abhor it.
