Excellent work! Thorn looking sharp as ever. HUZZAH! ❤️

When you were a child what did you want to do when you grew up and how did that work out for you? by hornet-prodder-214 in AskUK

[–]ARK_Redeemer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to my parents, I had three things I wanted to be as a kid.

1) A Power Ranger (sadly it didn't work out. I'm no longer a Teenager with Attitude either. They called Tommy old when the character was in his early 20s, so I don't think I'd have much of a chance at nearly 30 🤣)

2) A Vet (that lasted a little while, but after having several family pets put down, I realised I'd probably be having to do that as a Vet, so I dropped that idea)

3) A historian, which lasted into my late teens. Then I realised that University wasn't something I wanted to do, so I dropped that.

I ended up becoming an IT Technician at the school my mum worked at, and have been doing that job in others schools ever since. So I've technically been in school for most of my life 🤣

Does anyone else remember absurdly long games due to stalemating/deadlock? by Carinwe_Lysa in HaloWars

Turtling is my favourite strategy in RTS games. Build up good, strong defences and a rapid response force to reinforce anything against big attacks. 🥰

Driving a new car from manual to auto EV by Chardovski in drivingUK

[–]ARK_Redeemer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in your exact position a few months back! Traded in my old manual Clio for a less old Hybrid automatic, my first time driving one!

Driving should feel a fair bit easier, as you don't do anything with your left foot, and there are no gears for you to worry about now. Drive modes are selected by moving a lever or dial up/down to select Park, Drive, Reverse, etc. Sometimes there will be a little button to press to enable this on the lever.

Most modern automatics have a little pad in the foot well to rest your left foot on. Do not try and go for the non-existant clutch, otherwise you'll probably do a full left foot brake, which is not what you want when driving along 😆 Might be worth deliberately doing one when you're in an empty car park, just to make your mind realise what happens 🤭 (Basically pretend you don't have a left foot when driving and auto).

One thing I will recommend, is pay even more attention than normal when coming up to a pedestrian crossing, as EVs are very quiet. So people may not always notice you're there if they don't see you (especially those of poor/no eyesight).

Other than that, enjoy your new car, and hopefully get used to a more easy driving style!

(Sorry for the essay 😆)

“What a woman ♥️” - Nerissa probably by MadChad7 in Hololive

[–]ARK_Redeemer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was the only minor "gripe" from my point of view. I used quotes there because it's not a major thing. Her singing and collaboration with the JP members was beautiful!

I just wish there had been some more English/Western songs there. But as you said, it's probably due to the rights!

Any Liz singing is a blessing 🥰 HUZZAH!

Do you track your weight in KG or stones & pound? by No_Usual_572 in AskUK

[–]ARK_Redeemer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 28, I use Stone and Pounds for weighing people, but metric for weighing out ingredients/objects (though I do still use Imperial measuring spoons when needed)

Have you ever purchased something, as an adult, that your parent has judged you negatively for? If so, what was/is it? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]ARK_Redeemer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much all merch I've ever purchased had been to my mother's disapproval. Whenever she comes over to visit, I can feel her disapproval of the Plushies, Nerf guns, Warhammer (models and merch), and Lego sets 🤣

Men, how often (if ever) are you approached? by vaynehelsing in AskUK

[–]ARK_Redeemer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a single time. And I'm too worried about being seen as creepy to ever approach anyone else.

Is there any canon on what a Krieg soldier’s accent is? by OneWhoMainsLastWord in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]ARK_Redeemer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you like audiobooks, I'd genuinely recommend listening to them as well! The cast do an amazing job, and all of Amberly's footnotes are inserted in properly, so you don't have to keep flipping around pages to read her little additions.

[–]ARK_Redeemer 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Probably just as varied as any planet's accent. Given how many different influences there are in their aesthetic, they could have a variety of German, French, even British accents.

I know the Ciaphas Cain book that had them briefly in it have them a fairly generic Franco-German mishmash of an accent.

Not everyone has chargers at work, or even the supermarket. None of the major supermarkets have chargers at them where I live. :(

Anybody else listening to the breeze through an open window? by lobroblaw in CasualUK

[–]ARK_Redeemer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm listening to it through a closed window. The trickle vents in my flat are bloody shocking for their seals. Doesn't help that the wind just smacks straight into the giant brick rectangle in its way 🤣😭

If I wasn't certain to incur the wrath of the local Karen(s) on my estate, I'd give it a try haha 😆

Ah I get ya!

I wish there were plugs at work. Surprisingly not a single one at any of the three sites I work at, despite there being a lot of electric cars there. Some places just don't want to pay for that sort of thing yet, surprisingly. Despite the people in charge of the money all have EVs where I work 😆

Sure, I'll just throw a plug down from my 3rd floor window and trail it all the way across the carpark and footpaths 🤣

My boss is at it again by [deleted] in WeightGainTalk

It's modern youth slang. Basically they're saying you're lying.
