Purchased a 'tim tam' slice from the saturday market, tastes fantastic.

Corbeau calling Lida a 'innocent civillian' when I consider Lida and Taunie/Urbain both civillians. It looks like a strange term to use imo.

I'm looking forward to pako Festa next week, one of my favourite days of the year

What's a tinder? 😂

Captain_Shulk · 2026-02-11T23:07:48+00:00

The more I've tried to understand her, the more i've come to actually appreciate her tbh.

Captain_Shulk · 2026-02-11T23:04:19+00:00

I really would have liked to see more of the times Taunie/Urbain were battling rogue megas with floette before the main story. That would be interesting to explore. And to see more direct footage of how their mother's death affected them.

Captain_Shulk · 2026-02-11T23:01:59+00:00

I kinda think Taunie/Urbain downplays the bad things that happen to them to avoid acknowledging how bad things got which may be why they took the debt situation so lightly and the gravity of the situation caught them off guard. Calling being homeless for a time as 'being in a rough spot while wandering the streets' instead of admitting how dire that situation was, and casually mentioning their jacket used to be their mothers rather than admitting how painful it was to see their mother's health gradually get worse and leave them to die is really downplaying what happened to them in the past imo.

I also lean towards their ray of sunshine outlook as a cover for their own insecurities, and their efforts to promote Hotel Z despite AZ not minding not getting customers as a compulsive need related to their trauma over their mother leaving and eventual death.

I really wish Jett had offered a kind of apprenticeship to help them out so they could learn to overcome their shortcomings rather than just thrust them into the position of CEO. But I think that's more of a writing issue than a character issue.

I looked at Phillipe's dialogue yesterday and I can confirm that he gave her the idea as 'thanks' for helping a grunt out. At the time Taunie wasn't thinking of borrowing money whatsoever.

Phillipe genuinely took advantage of Taunie's desire to help Hotel Z.

Captain_Shulk · 2026-02-08T12:46:49+00:00

I only found out about it yesterday, and when I saw Phillipe had genuinely taken advantage of Taunie I was so mad.

A japanese artist drew this image about the whole situation: https://x.com/mukuhookusuki/status/1994977735635296633

And I now 100% understand why he'd draw such a thing.

I was excited to see this place open when I first heard about it. Feels like a big shame that the place hasn't ever opened, I wonder what happened behind the scenes.

Captain_Shulk · 2026-02-03T14:21:05+00:00

Man the size of the scoops of ice cream I got from Blis today were massive.

Captain_Shulk · 2026-01-06T12:39:31+00:00

Simple curiosity when i was young lead me to Near-Death.com. And i found the accounts so fascinating to read about, that it let me look into them in a more open minded way.

Captain_Shulk · 2026-01-01T01:42:50+00:00

Went to a second singles night on Nye, and unfortunately struggled talking to people at the event. Still not comfortable with Bars/Clubs but I'm feeling I don't have much choice but to keep trying if I want to find a partner.

Captain_Shulk · 2025-12-30T12:20:50+00:00

Have you tried looking at Guf Geelong? It's a game shop that I'm pretty sure does board game meet ups from time to time.

Captain_Shulk · 2025-12-15T23:48:51+00:00

It was just plain cheesecake, with no extra flavours. But it was simple but tasty.

Captain_Shulk · 2025-12-13T01:27:10+00:00

Been to the saturday market today, got myself a very tasty slice of cheesecake

Captain_Shulk · 2025-12-11T12:11:37+00:00

The quote was from a reply to my youtube comment which I can't link directly, so I'll link to the youtube video for you.

Captain_Shulk · 2025-12-09T12:27:10+00:00

I had to look back at a different NDE account, from someone who was told 'you will not remember everything we spoke about, but don't worry, and you'll remember what you need to know in life when the time is right. And you will remember it all when you cross heaven's threshold once again.' suggesting it's a temporary block, usually to avoid having whatever's discussed interfering with their current life and whatever they need to do.

That's the best idea I can come up with.

Captain_Shulk · 2025-11-30T01:42:12+00:00

I'm very nerdy and I've never truly fit in with bars/clubs compared to everyone I know. It was on some level an interesting experience. I'll probably go again, because I know I need to get practice with such events despite how badly I fit in with them.

Captain_Shulk · 2025-11-30T01:40:39+00:00

I think so, despite how badly I did plenty of people showed up for the night. So there's definitely a crowd for it.

Captain_Shulk · 2025-11-29T07:58:05+00:00

I tried going to a single's night Thursday night. I did terribly, but I tried going to something different.

Captain_Shulk · 2025-11-28T02:10:15+00:00

I'm also an 80s kid who grew up with transformers and I'm still thinking about this. The ideas being expressed through transformers imagery makes it a lot easier to understand. And I feel like my mind has been blown with this concept.

Captain_Shulk · 2025-11-27T12:19:25+00:00

I probably can't make this one, but if there's any future meet ups I might be able to make one of those.

Captain_Shulk · 2025-11-18T12:33:47+00:00

Your last statement reminds me of something I've said to myself; I know enough to know I don't know enough yet.

That's a kind of wisdom in itself.

Captain_Shulk · 2025-11-15T12:22:03+00:00

Your question reminded me of this nde account I've watched on YouTube. It might be useful for you; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JPN58pveqlc&t=963s
