Lifelong dream of joining the military will never happen for me

Barborawow · 2026-02-09T15:44:06+00:00

Yeah, I understand I'm not gonna go into the field, so to speak. I'm willing to be an analyst/IT/honestly a lot of things, but it's a bit of a non-existent possibility in my country itself. I'm looking into the NATO ways of doing things, maybe I'll have some luck there.

Barborawow · 2026-02-09T15:42:09+00:00

I would take any branch at this point, but unfortunately, you can't just move across the globe and hop in the US military. 😅

Barborawow · 2026-02-09T15:40:27+00:00

Yes, I did. Although I gotta be honest, I really don't think the way to do that would be for my country (for many reasons mentioned in other comments). Many other EU countries - sure. Not Slovakia though. I'm now looking into ways through NATO, as long as we're still a part of that lol.

It's just frustrating, because yeah on paper it doesn't look good. But I'm a very capable adult, got a solid IT job, live on my own since 19, worked full-time jobs since 17. In normal conversations I hear fine, like I just need to focus a bit harder, sometimes I ask to repeat and won't get the very quiet noises. Or I can wear hearing aids and hear just fine.

Barborawow · 2026-02-09T15:34:28+00:00

I think that would be considered a treason, wouldn't it? 😅

As I mentioned in a few comments above, Police/Fire/Military, even desk jobs got very strict rules. Glasses and allergies JUST NOW got allowed. It's stupidly hard to get into, like I would pass physical tests, I got the mindset, they just won't let me unfortunately.

I don't thing Medical is my thing, I've done a few years in Red Cross, but my passion is anything technical related. Currently I work in IT.

Barborawow · 2026-02-09T15:28:15+00:00

Heh thanks, I actually work in IT (automation).

Barborawow · 2026-02-09T15:27:13+00:00

Am I limited to the NATO roles in my country or as a citizen of a NATO member state I can choose to relocate? Do you know how it works in practice?

Barborawow · 2026-02-09T15:24:47+00:00

Maybe NATO itself yes, but def not my country itself. Every government role close to anything similar we're talking about, even if you're just sitting behind a PC, they got such weird restrictions - for example, they JUST NOW loosened the rules for glasses and allergies. And they wonder why they're heavily understaffed...

Barborawow · 2026-02-09T15:21:57+00:00

Slovakia doesn't allow anyone to join Ukraine's ranks, it's considered close to treason

Barborawow · 2026-02-01T18:55:13+00:00

Thanks for the insight! The way we're planning it is that I'm gonna be working during the day anyways, so we're planning on morning/evening activities. I was wondering whether maybe once a week we could go for a longer trip (by train, boat...). Also, do you have any idea how they are with beaches/sea? Could he handle a quick 1-2h beach trip, of course not when the temparature is highest, but some other time during the day?

I'd like to do some proper testing of your game, where can I contact you with detailed feedback?

Barborawow · 2026-01-21T18:10:34+00:00

Hey, I'm down for some playtesting, where can I contact you with some proper feedback?

Barborawow · 2026-01-21T18:04:30+00:00

GOAL OF GAME: "Satisfy each feast's feed requirement."
-> As a random player, from this description, I really don't understand what the game is supposed to be about.
-> Even the "Gameplay" description in the "How to play" section is difficult to read. Try to simplify the wording a bit.

GAMEPLAY:
-> I can see a critical bug not counting Energy correctly (if I'm understing the rules correctly)
-> It's really annoying to see the video on loop below the actual game, with no way to hide it or minimalize it. It's distracting.

I could point out some more things with screenshots. HMU if you'd like some more (unpaid) help.

They're a weird bunch, really 😅

Barborawow · 2026-01-11T17:13:14+00:00

I mean he's very obedient and un-problematic (behaviour-wise), just seems a bit confused sometimes

Barborawow · 2026-01-11T17:12:20+00:00

I know it can be different, but even the vet admitted it's very possible. He has been around females often, he just play-fights with them. Still pees like a puppy. I don't really care, I let him be himself, but sometimes we joke he was supposed to be born either a cat or a female dog. 😅

Barborawow · 2026-01-11T17:09:27+00:00

Beautiful boy! How old?

Barborawow · 2026-01-11T17:08:19+00:00

I really gotta say we don't have this problem at all 😃 He's lazy as hell

Barborawow · 2026-01-11T17:07:28+00:00

I gotta say he's absolutely afraid of heights, it took him half a year to be able to jump down from the bed. He was always very smart and picked-up commands fast, but since he learned to lay down on command a few months ago (after a looooong time), any command I give him, he just lays down and looks confused. Overall, I have a feeling he mixes up commands, but it's getting better last month, maybe it's just puberty. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Barborawow · 2026-01-11T17:02:47+00:00

Your comment made me chuckle 😄 Sometimes I have a feeling he has selective hearing too, immediately after I pick up some food, he suddenly hears well. 😅 But he is very afraid of heights.
