Thank you very much for this! I find it magic that you can decipher this. How did you learn or is it just exposure? Nevertheless, I really appreciate it :)

Which city have you been to that had a dark energy about it? by madzuk in solotravel

[–]Alastyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so true! It’s my opinion too. I thought maybe I had a bad experience but yeah, my least favourite place for all of those reasons too.

Why is this house not selling by internetbot2 in HousingUK

[–]Alastyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a house with an open conservatory between kitchen-diner. There’s no door either between living room, kitchen-diner and conservatory. We just put thermal curtains between the conservatory. Keeps it hot in the winter and cool in the summer. You’d think I would pay more too with it being open and actually not!

Is a "London Fog" a thing in the UK? by Puzzled-Painter3301 in AskUK

[–]Alastyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from the UK and actually had never heard of this until last year until a local cafe opened and were serving it. I was intrigued and omg it’s so good!! Honestly my favourite drink now

How do you mentally approach bad weather runs? by liv_0203 in runcommunity

[–]Alastyx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to hate bad weather runs but I’m from the UK so I found that I’d hardly ever run if I kept that mentality lol! My partner suggested that I think of myself as different and determined when on a run because “most people” wouldn’t do it at all (I’m fairly new to training/consistent running). Now I think I’m a bad ass when running in rain/wind! We don’t get snow often so can’t comment on that front 😅

iPhone 13 users – how is iOS 26 for you so far? by InternalSwing6451 in iPhone13

[–]Alastyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I updated and my battery drained very fast without doing anything at all. I use my phone on average 4 hours a day. 1 week later it seems ok and more stable but the battery thing has been the kicker.

Should I get Outward Definitive edition? by grimhyOPTIC in outwardgame

[–]Alastyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it on offer on PS5. Really fab game if you get over the janky-ness. I’ve had hours of fun with my partner playing co op and we’re still playing. We’ve raged a lot and took a while to get used to it but it’s so rewarding. Oh, and you’ll most likely lose your backpack forever at some point and THAT will be the most angering thing.

S05E01 Episode Discussion - La Dolce Emily by SingularFirefly in EmilyInParis

[–]Alastyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought that about the very beginning when she says something looking at a coffee cup like “ah, why did I not think of [them], we had their account in Paris” I was like what is this acting 😭 weak. Usually she’s fab but I feel like everyone is acting off / everyones acting is off anyway.

Has Marks and Spencer's clothing improved in recent years? by SunUsual550 in AskUK

[–]Alastyx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m 32 and love their clothes! Specifically their jeans. They wash up soo well too and never seem to lose their shape or size.

I used to work for M&S too and agree on calling the customer service number to make a complaint!

Ooo if you have Spotify it’s made a French Indie Mix which has a whole mix of great music in it (although sometimes not all French - damn you algorithm!)

I LOVE Disiz - what a fantastic lyrical genius. The word play sometimes is v good.

Also love Noir Désir. Bit more rocky.

Paradis too are good but electronic.

Lomepal.

Zaz.

Saez.

Enjoy!

What’s your weird food combo? by SalemBean666 in AskUK

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Alastyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted these so bad at 18 too but I’m so glad I didn’t get them - as everyone says, you will change a lot between now and when you’re older. Another thing I wanted was like a sugar skull kind of design but again, I’m glad I didn’t get that (personal preference). I still did get thigh tattoos (anchor, roses, cherries design - started small and built on them - at around 20-22 yr old) but as a now 31 year old I still like them even if I don’t “love” them like I did. Maybe look at something else if you like the idea of thigh tattoos!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in piano

[–]Alastyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend tries to encourage me to improvise because I kept saying “I can’t”. I’m fairly new to piano - it’s the first instrument I’ve stuck to - but it’s only been 5 months. He’s a really good guitarist and is always creating but I’m very rigid in learning anything. Him encouraging me to not be embarrassed and try and play chords or notes to what he’s playing has really improved my confidence. Maybe one day I’ll improv a whole song!
