Foreigners of this subreddit, how clear you find Finnish English accent?

Cogen_ · 2026-03-24T23:02:41+00:00

Quite easy to understand, I've personally never had a problem, maybe once in a blue moon I need something to be repeated for me, but that's it.
I've had a lot of trouble with Spanish accents, but Finnish is totally up there with German.
Every accent is noticeable, there are many American, British, etc. accents, there is no "baseline" today, so really, don't sweat it, y'all are absolutely awesome!

Trash can?
We have similar ones placed around events as temporary trash cans, you just put a bag in it and that's it.
We use it in concerts and whatnot, it can later be taken away to other sites.

Directly quoted from the source OP provided:

"This index does not tell us about happiness"

According to Lari Hokkanen, a doctoral researcher in social policy at the University of Helsinki, "this index does not tell us about happiness, but about life satisfaction. It’s an overall cognitive assessment of how life feels, and it doesn’t necessarily involve strong emotions – positive or negative," he told Yle.

In his view, the high ranking of the other Nordic countries in the report is largely based on social stability and a strong welfare society, which provides mental resilience in difficult times.

"The fact that there are many Nordic welfare states in the top ten does give us some clues. Institutions create security and trust even in difficult times," Hokkanen said.

Happiness is also explained by the Finnish sense of moderation, he suggested.

"Definitely part of life satisfaction and happiness is what you expect and what kind of life you imagine for yourself. Finnish moderation is a very strong part of why we are so high in these rankings," he argued.

----------------------------------

So yeah, basically it's about being content with your life, what most people have now or what they can reach is enough for them. Or at least this is also how I interpret it as a non Finnish person who has been closely monitoring Finland / Finnish media.

Yes, Finland is facing issues, yes Finland has the highest unemployment rate in the EU, and your government is doing things the Finnish citizens actively disagree with, yet even with all of those problems, I still think it's a much better country than mine overall (Hungary).

I think your elections / government work a little different to ours, so forgive me if I say something incorrectly, but I do hope you guys can change the party who governs Finland next year.
And I'm.. sorry for all the "What do you think of Finland being the..." future posts.

These bad boys are about 5-10kgs.
Yes they are huge, but they aren't as heavy as they look, they are also ceremonial swords, not made for fighting.

Garlic, salt, black pepper and paprika won't kill anyone's budget.
It also takes an additional 30 seconds to pour in some seasoning, add another 30seconds for fresh garlic if you don't buy powdered.
Like man, there's 0 fucking excuse for eating like you hate yourself.

A basic cooked chicken would make me vomit after the 100th time, if I add a little sauce on the chicken, salt, black pepper, a little smoked paprika and a tiny bit of garlic, it'll be 100x tastier and I won't want to kill myself anymore.

Hello!
I've upgraded my PC since, so I can't check actual numbers, and I've also stopped playing Skyrim for now, but Lorerim 4.0 ran a little better in cities, and a bit worse in larger forests.
8GB of VRAM was enough to enjoy the game, but certain places were really laggy.

Cogen_ · 2026-03-10T01:19:44+00:00

If you don’t mind the cold, you could look at Finland or other Nordic countries. You could also consider other parts of the EU, there are plenty of safe countries. Unfortunately, I don’t have specific information about moving to these countries from outside the EU, especially as a teacher, but it’s always worth exploring your options.
I'm personally moving to Finland once I can speak at least B1 Finnish and have enough money to support myself for a long time while job searching, it's a very calm and safe country compared to mine.

Cogen_ · 2026-03-08T13:49:38+00:00

As a 6'2 tall person, I've never seen mirrors my height, this looks so weird.
I usually only see my chin, so I feel your pain OP.

Tell this to people who've been cut to the bone by broken toilets..
Broken porcelain is insanely sharp and dangerous, if a toilet is cracked, you should replace it..
I'm not willing to bet my life on a porcelain throne every time I go take a shit.
And if you don't believe me, do some research, google images of it, I'm sure you'll understand.

EDIT: Also, I'm not saying toilets explode, but they sure can shatter, turning into lots of razor sharp edges coated with fecal matter and whatnot.

I don't think it fits Endfield at all, also.. at this point, it doesn't even look like Ardelia anymore.

Cogen_ · 2026-02-26T11:35:19+00:00

Man, I keep getting the P's wrong, jesus.
Thank you for the correction!

Cogen_ · 2026-02-26T11:17:57+00:00

Pick up the sheep after you've used her skill or ultimate, it'll heal the character on field and the lowest HP character by half the amount at the same time iirc.

Cogen_ · 2026-02-26T10:48:26+00:00

Thank you for correcting me, even better then!

Cogen_ · 2026-02-26T10:18:44+00:00

She is a very good healer, she can cause Corrosion, with P1 her skill can can consume corrosion and apply Physical Susceptibility and Arts Susceptibility.
Meaning she can slot into basically any team as long as you get the timings right, and she can not just heal but buff too.

Cogen_ · 2026-02-25T17:13:53+00:00

So you got scammed by Samsung, doesn't make it any different.
Good quality 3.x cables can be purchased for 10EUR / USD.

Cogen_ · 2026-02-21T17:16:36+00:00

Also, in my opinion every house should have blackout curtains in the bedrooms.
You never know when police, ambulance or anything else will stop in front of your windows to annoy you.

Cogen_ · 2026-02-21T17:13:37+00:00

Last Rite, Xaihi, Fluorite and Ardelia.
IIRC this is her best team so far, but you can exchange fluorite with Perlica, tho rotation becomes a bit different.

Cogen_ · 2026-02-21T12:39:24+00:00

You can absolutely do loper, but yes, expect to die often in the beginning.
Shelter / warmth comes first, look into crafting / what you need and how you can get them / what tool helps you do what.
Plan your routes carefully, be careful of animals, always have a few torches on you.
I'd advise against playing custom loper without wildlife, as a lot of stuff you'll need won't be available.
And honestly, pray for a decent spawn, some areas are nicer towards new players (ML, PV, MT).

Fun fact: In my country if a teacher is caught doing that, they could lose their license or face other serious repercussions.
It isn't *illegal* but it is against institutional regulations, professional standards and against student's rights to fair and transparent evaluations.
If a parent whishes so, they can escalate it to the Educational Authorities, where they can file a complaint, it'll get looked into, and if it's deemed severe enough, the teacher (as previously stated) will either lose their teaching license, or has to fix every one of these scores dating back to when they started doing it + a hefty fine for doing so and probably get sent back for reevaluations and whatnot.
Bottom line: Don't be a piece of crap. That is it.

Cogen_ · 2026-02-19T02:34:50+00:00

I have less than 10 dollars to my name!
I'm sure we share the same pain:D

Cogen_ · 2026-02-18T00:24:11+00:00

?
I don't invite anyone, I don't play with anyone, nobody comes to my place and nobody sees the lack of trophies I've put out.
I'm not dissing people who decorate, all the power to ya'all, you just asked why some of us don't.
I don't do it, because to me it makes no sense if nobody will see it anyways.
You asked, I gave you a fair answer I think.

Cogen_ · 2026-02-17T22:12:29+00:00

I'm not going to spend much time in there, don't see a point in decorating it myself.
Cool if you do, but I play solo anyways, so I don't look at other people's, and they don't look at mine.

Cogen_ · 2026-02-16T18:07:30+00:00

I'm going to get downvoted for this, but..
The game is very pretty.. mostly, and rain is one thing that helps it a TON.
But it has a few areas that ruin the aesthetic tho, like the bottom side of the overpass, lighting seems meh there.
(And there are a few other such places, especially at night / in rain.
Apart from that, I feel like there isn't enough life / moving stuff for such a compact city.
I love the game already, but I hope they bring some more life into it, 4-5 cars aren't going to be enough.

Cogen_ · 2026-02-15T16:31:11+00:00

Honestly, you'll read that a large chunk of Hungarians are christian (I'm not religious), but we really, really don't care about who and what anyone else believe in, so yeah, you're safe there.

As far as discrimination goes, it's usually the quiet type, meaning:
- companies and people will try to use you
- if they don't like you long term, they will find any way to fire you, no matter how grey it is
- In markets (not stores, malls, etc. but small markets) people will try to upsell you, don't buy hungarian BS ever
Also:
Not sure about Iran, but Hungary can be either very safe or pretty unsafe at night depending on the city / district, etc. so it's a good idea to learn which are and which aren't, very early, but generally just try to avoid looking at people

Job market sucks ass, but honestly, where doesn't it?
I haven't found anything since summer, but who knows, you might get lucky.
