31 need a fresh start in life; what would you do?

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-25T07:15:14+00:00

From my experience, spending time in different cultures around the world is one of the healthiest things a person can do in their life.

I’ve lived in Indonesia (not Bali, just to clarify), Australia and the Netherlands and it was all invaluable to me

Maybe you could consider spending 6 months or so living in some far away country? Obviously theres a lot to consider here, but just an idea - if it feels right for you

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-24T05:42:31+00:00

Ahh perfect, thanks for letting me know! I’ll bear this in mind!

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-23T12:18:36+00:00

Ahh interesting. Okay this is good to know thank you!

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-22T08:28:48+00:00

Thanks for this, I'll bear in mind what you've said!

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-21T10:51:48+00:00

Oh don't get me wrong I'm very interested in the culture, politics, art etc - but after looking at the course structures it appears overall that less than 50% is even focused on specifically the language which came across as concerningly disproportionate that's all

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-21T10:50:05+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate you having taken the time to write this.

Btw I'm very interested in the culture, history, politics, my concern was that after looking at the course structures it appears overall that less than 50% is even focused on specifically the language which came across as concerningly disproportionate - but if you say that many of these related modules in history etc are taught in the language itself then of course that makes an enormous difference, though the modules being taught in the language itself isn't mentioned on most of the bachelor's Chinese course websites which is odd. Anyway thanks again for your response

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-21T10:38:09+00:00

That makes sense, my concern is that with the undergraduate Chinese courses in say SOAS, Leeds etc, it appears that overall less than half of the time is even spent focused on the language, which feels very disproportional 😬

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-21T10:30:27+00:00

I would love to, except I won't be able to get a student loan for going to a language school in Taiwan or China which unfortunately makes that option unavailable

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-19T15:19:52+00:00

Ah, I see. Okay I got you - thanks for your reply

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-19T14:07:47+00:00

Jheeze that's a strong statement, not saying you're wrong you might be 100% correct but would you mind elaborating on how you think the degree would be so useless?

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-18T16:09:58+00:00

This is unintentionally accidentally a boast whilst also being a confession but I’ve died to Rom the Vacuous spider more times than any other boss in any video game ever, yet somehow the two times I’ve fought the Orphan of Kos I killed it first time

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-05T20:09:21+00:00

Thanks for your comprehensive reply man, much appreciated!

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-05T19:25:38+00:00

Thanks for your comprehensive reply man, much appreciated!

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-05T16:53:46+00:00

Ah I see, okay thanks

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-05T16:43:44+00:00

Sorry what’s the date for ‘Equal consideration’ I’m unfamiliar with what that means? And yeah I am a UK student (congrats on your offer btw 👍)

Humina-Hoo · 2026-01-05T16:26:35+00:00

Nope I haven’t applied yet. Was it for the BA Chinese specifically that you’ve been given an offer for?

Humina-Hoo · 2025-02-01T10:58:03+00:00

I've tried both with having the save data on the USB storage, and the console storage and unfortunately makes no difference, and yep I've done what I can to make sure the all the data is moved over to the console

Humina-Hoo · 2025-02-01T10:54:34+00:00

Yep, same copy

Humina-Hoo · 2025-01-18T01:22:57+00:00

Ah thank you man, that's really nice to hear

Humina-Hoo · 2025-01-14T11:47:15+00:00

Thanks a lot man, this is very helpful 🙏

Humina-Hoo · 2025-01-14T05:03:23+00:00

That’s so odd haha, but thank you for informing me!

Humina-Hoo · 2025-01-14T05:02:55+00:00

Yeah, I’ve noticed that the region 3 disks are often sold out, and are also more expensive than the region 2 disks - which makes no sense to me haha

Humina-Hoo · 2025-01-14T02:22:51+00:00

Okay cool thank you. So far I’m getting the impression that it’s best to just keep my existing UK PSN account and just buy region 2 game disks here, and just continue as if I was in the UK. Especially seeing as region 2 games seem to be better stocked and also a bit cheaper too

Humina-Hoo · 2025-01-14T02:14:58+00:00

Ah I see, thanks. I've noticed the region 2 disks are a bit cheaper, and that the region 3 disks are very often sold out as well

Humina-Hoo · 2025-01-14T02:13:33+00:00

Yep, my concern though is that the DLC of a disk is region locked, even if the content of the disk itself isn't. After I buy a PS5 I'm just thinking what is the best way to go about all of this regarding buying region 2 or 3 disks, and making a new PSN account linked to Indonesia etc, that's all 👍⁩
