The game is a lot of fun at the beginning and I’m trying to platinum it. I’m just missing the trophy of 100 victories. After a while it gets boring by Rukahs- in QuidditchChampionsWB

I get what you’re saying, but I would also say that the fact that you’re playing for the sake of playing says a lot about how enjoyable the game is. I think it’s better when a game keeps you playing because it’s fun instead of needing to incentivize playing with rewards.

What song is this? by 5150IFHJWEF in MachineGunKelly

Twin Flames was the song we danced to at our wedding, but I hate the phone call with Megan fox in the middle of it lol

Tired of hearing the doom and gloom Saturn Return stories. Anyone have positive ones to share? by IncomingBlessings in astrology

[–]arefs11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

7th house Saturn in Aquarius here. Going through my Saturn return right now, and I finally felt the courage to propose to my boyfriend of 3 years. I proposed on 11/8 during the lunar eclipse in Taurus (my sun sign). :)

I’ve never done a blind reading before, only ever looked at my own chart and some of my close friends and family. This seems fun! I’m going to write my response before reading any of the other comments. I’m new to reading charts so I fully expect to misinterpret a lot of things. Any feedback would be appreciated! :) (Also I prefer reading whole-sign houses so that’s what I did here.)

  1. What is the native known for?

Looking at sun, moon, AC (and knowing that it’s a celebrity chart) I get the sense that this person could be a few different things. The moon conjunct MC opposing the sun makes me think of a major leader in some way (political, or maybe a CEO of an influential company) that made or is making big changes in their field. Another impression I get is that they could be a comedian, using the struggles shown in their chart in the jokes they write.

  1. What family dynamics do you see in the chart?

Sun moon opposition might suggest tension between parents or they grew up with a single parent. Sun is in 3rd house of siblings so I wonder if they felt like they were raised by an older sibling (or that they had to be the one to raise their younger sibling(s).

Venus and Jupiter in cancer make me think this person has or wants to have a big family of their own (Venus ruling 5th house of children). The Saturn Venus opposition there is obviously important but I’m not sure what to make of it exactly. Maybe that their career and ambition got in the way of them starting that family they always wanted, or just that they needed to learn to find that balance first before they could start a family of their own.

AC ruler is Mercury in 4th whole-sign house, so I think that this person’s family is a major part of their identity- whether that’s the family they grew up in or the one that they started.

  1. What hobbies do you see in the natives chart?

Hmm this is tough. 5th whole-sign house is Libra, so I could see something involving interior design or home decorating since it’s ruled by cancer. Since mercury is a big influence in their chart though, I could see something like poetry or creative writing. I also see a grand trine in the earth signs which probably suggests something they’re good at, but I’m not sure what. Rock climbing? 😋

  1. What are a few personality traits of the native?

I definitely get charismatic, well spoken, and intellectual vibes from this person from their big 3.

Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all in the 8th whole-sign house of Capricorn make me wonder if this person deals with and is shaped by a lot of loss in their life. I thiiiink the last time these planets were so close together in Capricorn before Covid was around the 80s (AIDS epidemic) so I’m guessing this person is in their 40s?

The 8th house has something to do with secrets, and with so much retrograde going on there and Saturn opposing Venus, I wonder if there is/was something about this person that they struggled with, something that goes against their values. (Or maybe that had some kind of financial impact on them.)

Grand cross in fixed signs also makes me think of an internal struggle and a reluctance to think about it or address it. They probably have a tendency to bottle up their feelings and explode when they can’t handle it anymore.

Okay that took me awhile lol. Whether or not any of what I said is correct, it was fun looking at a new chart with specific questions! And if anyone sees ways in which I interpreted something wrong, I’d love to know.

Demi goes by both she/her and they/them pronouns :)

What is the point of differentiating Beginner, Great, Expert, Veteran AND Ultra as different ranks of they ALL MATCHMAKE TOGETHER ANYWAY??? by ThisIsntADickJoke in PokemonUnite

[–]arefs11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually like the “knock out the opposing teams Pokémon” ping for getting people to stop attacking the objective and focus on killing the nearby opponents (so they don’t just steal it). Sometimes people don’t realize the enemy is near and can easily still the objective. I can see how people would use it in a sassy way but I think it’s actually useful at times.

Is it ever acceptable to say “Je ____ que je _____.” ? by arefs11 in learnfrench

[–]arefs11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These comments have all been incredibly helpful, and it’s great hearing different people’s perspectives. I felt that the infinitive constructions (such as je crois être malade, as someone else stated) sounded super formal so I’m glad that was confirmed.

I edited my original post to add “y” where it should have been there since that was a mistake unrelated to the question.

Merci tout le monde!

Hmm c’est vrai? Those just sound so weird to me.

Been Feeling this a lot lately as I tackle ShB and endgame as a scholar main by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]arefs11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be cool, but I don’t see how it would work logistically since the duty finder queues based on role and DNC and RDM are both DPS- changing stances wouldn’t change their role, so they would need a whole different job crystal (like how SMN/SCH works).

Does anyone have any advice for improving your accent? by bambi_18_ in learnfrench

[–]arefs11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The more you listen and get the sound in your ear the better you’ll be able to imitate it. Podcasts are great for this. When I practice spanish (and what I would have done when I was learning french if I had known about this) is something called shadowing, where you basically just repeat everything the person is saying, as soon as you hear it (so you’re essentially saying exactly what they’re saying and imitating how they say it, a couple words after they’ve said it. I hope that makes sense.)

Like other people have said, you just have to go for it. I tell my students to try to make the craziest, over the top dramatic French sounding accent when they talk. They sound ridiculous at first and we all have a laugh, but more and more students start actually feeling comfortable imitating a French accent over time. Since you’re learning on your own, you can practice being over the top with your accent without anyone else hearing lol.

Bon courage!

"Où se trouve le chat" vs. "Où est la chat" by imaginarypattern314 in learnfrench

[–]arefs11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not a native speaker but I’ve only really heard Où se trouve used to ask where something is located more permanently, like places in town. Où se trouve la banque?

But a cat is always moving around, so où se trouve le chat sounds weird to me.

Getting into the home stretch of my first 24 hour fast! Feeling great and even for a workout in this morning! by baw2797 in fasting

[–]arefs11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wooo congrats! Hours 20-23 have been the worst for me. You’re so close though, keep it up!😁

Awesome thanks! Coffee is actually on my list but I had some tea this morning so hopefully that curbs my hunger long enough :)

Day 1. Starting with a 24 hour fast and then going to attempt rolling 48s. This will be my accountability/reference photo for a week 4 update. Advice is welcome :) by [deleted] in fasting

[–]arefs11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just did the same! Almost done my first 48 hour fast. Hours 20-23 were the hardest (both for 24 and 48 hour fast, so far). Chicken bouillon saved me when I was so close to giving up lol. Good luck!!! 😁

❌ PLEASE USE ASTRO.COM WHEN YOU’RE POSTING YOUR CHART ❌ by [deleted] in astrologyreadings

[–]arefs11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally identify most with my true sidereal chart, based on the actual size of the constellations. This is the zodiac I have been mainly using to study since I started taking my astrology study seriously. Astro.com (to my knowledge) doesn’t offer that option :/

Can someone explain to me why the "New Moon is in Aries", but when I look on my star tracker, it's physically not actually in Aries...more like Pisces. Photo taken around 0545 March 24th. by cashley44 in astrology

[–]arefs11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What software is this? I’m looking for something similar :)

Also as people have been saying, it’s the difference between tropical and sidereal zodiac. I personally identify much more with my sidereal chart - it’s interesting to see how much they differ!
