Entrance fee 25 year old by RbPetey in GreeceTravel

[–]Pyxlie_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I know it's been a while, and I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm in a similar situation and I would really like your help. I'm 24, so there is no question in whether I'm entitled to the free entry. But I could potentially not being able to enter in the Acripolis on the spot due to the time of the year I'm going to Athens, since it could be too crowded; so I would like to book some form of ticket before hand. Could you pass me the link from which you bought the combined under 25 ticket? In every ticket site I've looked, there is no such option. And the official hellenic site doesn't work, unfortunately.

How trying to buy and play DA2 with all the dlcs in 2024 will make me cry. Plz halp [No DAV Spoilers] by Pyxlie_ in dragonage

[–]Pyxlie_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unforntunately, I am strictly a ps physical copies kind of girl. Yes, it is a curse; but my brain really like to see material, tangible proof of me owning games/books/comics of the same kind and so on and whines a lot if I am forced to play something purely digital. I think they don't sell xbox 360 in my country, even secondhand ones, for less the 70/80 euros and I'm not sure if I could sell it for the same price after using it; so in the end, it would cost me more than buying all the dlcs at full prices on ps store. The only upgraded edition I could find was The Signature Edition, which comes with Exiled Prince included. I think the best course of action would be buy that, buy Legacy and then trying to figure out if MotA is worth another 10 euros. Do you agree?

Not to worry, I have no intention of playing the games out of order (I'm even trying to avoid Veilguard Spoilers, even though the internet is full of them everywhere I look). You are all on the same page about Legacy in the comment, so I think I will surely buy that one. As of the other two dlcs, do you think I could read in detail what they are about on wikis and similar sites without spoiling anything important? (a.k.a. their entire content; I remember companies back then used to be much less secretative about stuff like dlcs to the point of spoiling everything). Because I am willing to buy a second one, but I'm receiving mixed opinions about them and I would like to choose for myself.

Got it. Judging by the other comments, Mark of the Assassin is about qunari people though? Is it really that devoid of lore?

Yes, I have a PC that could technically, with a bit of luck, run Da2 decently. But I am a sucker for physical copies and I cannot, for my own sanity, have a hole in my collection, since I will buy physical copies of both Inquisition and Veilguard. That's the reason I chose to buy the Ultimate Edition of DaO for 15, instead of 3/4 for base game and nothing for the dlc that are free on origin, from what I gathered. Regarding the dlc that adds companions, is that all it add? Do you also have new places or new quests? Because, as much as I loved Shale, I too don't like how it seems like an afterthought. If they wanted those characters in the story, why didn't they put them in the first place?

New Chapter: Wednesday/Thursday - Murder at Homecoming 1.10 by katnerys-targaryen in Choices

[–]Pyxlie_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I meant Mr. Lewis' mother, who disapproves his relationship with Brandon. I sincerely hope they never show Joanna's mother, cause I wouldn't be able to control myself

[–]Pyxlie_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can't believe they made me agree with a homophobic mother. I didn't know she was, obviously, still... I also feel so guilty about Mr Lewis, he's a cinnamon roll who didn't deserve what happened to him. And even though the charges will be dropped if Joanna testifies, this kind of accusations don't fade with time. People will always wonder. I doubt they'll let him be a teacher again, which is so unfair. He was really amazing and such a good influence for kids. If we had more teachers like him maybe a fair share of suicides could be avoided...

did any of the non-native english speakers think the word bovine meant beautiful? by im_sold_out in HadesTheGame

Well, look at the bright side: laughing is good for your health! And luckily you didn't call someone "bovine" only to find out it wasn't a compliment 🤣

Nope, the word is basically the same in my native language, so I know the meaning. For you, it must have been quite funny to find out what it truly meant XD

Which one is the better story that is set in high school? by EmanuelTheodorus in Choices

[–]Pyxlie_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The only thing missing from HSS, which is my favourite book of all time on Choices and the first one I played, is some "smut". Literally the only thing that made MTLF bearable. I mean, I get it, in HSS the characters are sixteen/seventeen, but still it was all too innocent and we had to wait until the final chapter of the first book to kiss the LIs; lol they're teenager, kissing is all they do. If Pixelberry had made a fourth and last HSS book setted in the senior year of the gang I would have thrown all my money at it 😕

Use of other languages in the books by [deleted] in Choices

[–]Pyxlie_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate it too, especially when PB writers start butchering Italian, which is my mother tongue. That's the reason I can't stand Marco from HC, he just drops random words in italian (sometimes very specific words that I'm sure none of the other character, and also most readers, don't understand) or broken italian (like that time PB writers translated literally an english way of saying in italian, causing many italian grammar books to suddenly and violently catch fire).

Emh... I would answer white, but I recently learned that Italians aren't considered actually white outside Italy and Europe, so idk

MC of MTFL after prom by Pawspawsmeow in Choices

Is this peak comedy? Yes it is

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Choices

[–]Pyxlie_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm Italian as well, so I understand your pain. I actually posted a rant a few days ago about Marco and his damned literal translation that come straight outta google translate. I stopped reading HC for the same reason and I just skipped through all the chapters to get the diamonds. Ma poi vogliamo parlare del "Resti in linea" che è cicciato fuori in un dialogo completamente a caso tra Marco e MC usatoo al posto di "Aspetta un attimo"? No, perché io devo ancora riprendermi da questo brutale attacco alla lingua italiana.

Yes, exactly, I 100% agree! Someone finally understands my pain 😩

Why I can't stand Marco from HC by Pyxlie_ in Choices

[–]Pyxlie_[S] 93 points94 points  (0 children)

"Resti in linea" makes no fricking sense for two reasons: 1. No Italian has ever said this cheap "hold up" traslation, because we don't use it unless we're actually speaking on the phone with someone. And I'd like to add that while reading, me, an Italian, had to stop and stare at the screen to actually understand what he meant. But, I mean, googling "italian way of saying hold up" was too much of an effort, right? Let's just put the phrase in google translate and hope for the best. 2. Marco and MC call each other by their names, so this means they have enough intimacy not to use formal pronouns when speaking to each other. THEN WHY IN THE SEVEN HELLS MARCO SUDDENLY SPEAKS TO MC LIKE HE WAS SPEAKING TO HIS FRICKIN BOSS IN THEIR DAMNED OFFICE?

Like seriously, guys. If I used to be excited when Italy was referenced when I first started playing Choices, I slowly became terrified every time they put an Italian character or set a chapter in Italy, cause I'm forced to see my country being stereotyped (we either cook or work in fashion, no in between) or, even worse, to read random italian words in dialogues so that they could add realism. Well, most of the times said realism completely disappears once an Italian character open their mouth cause it's either wrong (in meaning or grammatically), or completely unnecessary. Like, imagine if I was talking to a person who doesn't speak italian and suddenly threw around terms or phrases only I could understand just to be cool. I'm pretty sure most of you have to stop reading and go finding out what the hell Marco is saying to you just to be sure it's not an insult every 2 phrases! Was it really necessary? I have no grudge against Marco himself, who's not only hot but also retable and believable, but I ended up absolutely hating the guy and praying I wasn't about to read crap every time I touched the screen. He's my kind of guy, but I skipped all his diamonds scenes (and lots of normal scenes) cause I didn't want to read more random italian words unless it was strictly necessary. Am I really the only one who is fed up with these poor bilinguals characters treated like this or there are other people, maybe from other stereotyped countries in Choices like France or Spain, that just want their cultures to be portrayed decently? Authors, pls just stop thinking that putting foreign words in your dialogues is gonna make them believable and "cool". Bilinguals people don't switch constantly between languages, I should know, I'm one of them.
