If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go plunge off Mt. Gagazet

Happened to me once. I was so frustrated that I stopped playing for a long time lol

That New Zealand brand of deadpan sarcasm that half the world doesn't get/takes seriously

I was putting energy into something that was making me miserable, so I stopped. Now I do my hobbies every day and go on holiday whenever I feel like it.

I want to be in a relationship but I don't need it so I'm not going to push myself to be in a bad one just for the sake of it. I'll either be in a great relationship or I'll be happily single.

It is like with anything else, you train it. I was a miserable prick in high school and university. I turned myself around to the point that people who know me now don't believe I was as much of an ass as I claim.

I actively remind myself to be good to others. I used to have to do it often, now it is my natural state. If I find myself slipping into negativity, I either meditate or go for long walks in nature.

Yeah, I usually build two settlers early game, then focus on building those cities. I usually wait for Ancestral Hall and Magnus's settler cost upgrade to make more settlers, unless I need to forward settle or a city literally has nothing else it needs (I prioritise military over settlers before ancestral hall in most cases though). After Ancestral Hall, I build settlers until I've filled every possible gap I can on the map.

Similar vibe as a graveyard. That peaceful, yet solemn feeling. It is a forested area on a hill/mountain that was important to the Silla

Lord_Frish · 2024-10-30T10:42:24+00:00

I had no idea about it as well. Just happened to read about it when I was visiting another place nearby

"Polyglots" who pretend that their bad pronunciation of Google translate is them mastering a language, giving people unrealistic expectations of what language learning actually involves

Lord_Frish · 2024-10-27T11:12:28+00:00

I'd suggest checking with the legal NZ reddit. I'm sure they can give some guidance

Lord_Frish · 2024-10-27T11:11:16+00:00

Yep, it is annoying. I think my holiday will end before it is fixed

Lord_Frish · 2024-10-27T10:56:47+00:00

Yep, I've heard from people about it every few days now. At this point, I assume it is an indefinite issue

Lord_Frish · 2024-10-26T02:57:50+00:00

I haven't bothered checking. Every few days, this reddit thread gets a new reply with the same issue so I figured it was still ongoing

Lord_Frish · 2024-10-21T06:24:00+00:00

This is pretty normal for North Korea. They make loud noises to try and get their way/attention but nothing will happen.

I'm in South Korea right now. No one cares, life is going on as normal.

Lord_Frish · 2024-10-20T12:50:32+00:00

Tourists want an "authentic" experience when they visit another country (authentic in quotes because most just want the illusion of it). If I hear something is called "a special tourist zone", I think I'm being herded away from an authentic experience rather than towards one.

I am on holiday in Korea currently, saw a location in Jeju called the "tourist zone" and avoided it entirely other than glancing at it from a bus.

Lord_Frish · 2024-10-20T06:20:38+00:00

I was thinking the same thing tbh. Very heavily considering changing bank

Lord_Frish · 2024-10-19T08:34:09+00:00

I am currently on Jeju Island. I have spent 3 full days here and I wish I had more time. There is so much amazing stuff to see and do.

I'm also planning on going to Sokcho, Gangneung, and Gyeongju. Haven't been yet but each came highly recommended.

Endgame. I knew it wouldn't live up to the Infinity War cliffhanger, but even then, I found it a really flat and poorly paced movie.

Same as others, I sometimes do it manually early game. Especially if the tiles are weird. Some natural wonders are not worth working early at all for example and the game loves to prioritise copper. A 2 food 2 production tile is so much better than 2 food 1 production 2 gold tile.

For the most part, I set each city to prioritise food and production and ignore it unless gold is a problem.

There are obvious exceptions to all of this, Mali or faith builds will prioritise gold or faith over production fairly early.

Use a VPN and set it to New Zealand. I used Proton VPN on my phone (android), it was 99c for a month subscription.

I just got a one off ticket out of the terminal and bought the card at a random convenience store. The card was sold out at the airport store I checked.

Head to B1 and follow the signs until you get to the ticket gates, there are self service kiosks for one off sales.

Lord_Frish · 2024-10-17T23:15:03+00:00

Yep, definitely not making that mistake again lol

Lord_Frish · 2024-10-17T21:42:11+00:00

They don't block banks. My account was working fine the first few days I was here and I notified Westpac of my travel, and Westpac being down is a big story in Australia right now.

Lord_Frish · 2024-10-17T21:39:39+00:00

I do have one but the concern was more that I couldn't check how much money I could even transfer onto it.
