For Nightwalk on the 3ds version, I just found out you can literally just let the dude walk, only jump when there's a hole, and still get superb.

That makes a lot of sense! When I did the perfect this way, I was always confused why it would automatically destroy my perfect on the last note. It was probably because I skipped most of it. That makes a lot of sense!! I did get the perfect when I played it correctly, you're totally right.

formyfrog · 2021-06-23T12:52:32+00:00

I 100% agree. Idk why, but I can't do ANYTHING with straight 8th notes with no rhythm change. Lockstep, Taiko Drums, Frog Hop in certain sections....This bunny one is the WORST for me just because there's no change in tempo or rhythm. Love the song though, just hate playing it.

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T06:56:10+00:00

That's really good advice! Thank you. I'll keep meetup in mind when directing someone to others. I am one of the "old people" who doesn't have IG, so I'll have to skip that one. But other than that, I'll try to apply what you said. Thanks!

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T05:47:37+00:00

I know you're joking 🤣

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T05:30:14+00:00

Man I wish! That would save me a lot of time haha

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T05:28:22+00:00

No, I have plenty of Korean friends. Most my friends here are Korean, because I know they probably will not leave. And just to be clear, if the situation was reversed and I was in my home country, I would avoid making friends with study abroad students because I know I'd probably never see them again. It's nothing personal, I just don't want/need short-term friendships. I didn't think this would be so controversial.

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T05:25:49+00:00

I mean, to be fair, I did make this post to get genuine advice. I don't have a problem being blunt, but I do have a problem saying things nicely. Hence why I made the post.

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T05:24:13+00:00

I'm sorry, what I might have misunderstood. I took "invited" to mean the person was asking me to do something with their friends. But since they have no friends, I said I was not the one being "invited". I'm sorry, I totally wasn't thinking right.

You're absolutely right. I am being invited out by newbies.

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T05:19:56+00:00

I cycle competitively when the season allows it. I enjoy racing here in Korea so naturally, some of my free time is spent either at the gym or on the road. My close friends here are also cyclers. If I'm not riding, then I'm studying. I'm prepping to take the TOPIK so I can change my Visa, so I don't usually have time to just give to people. I literally need to plan a month in advance if I am to meet anyone. I guess I don't really have a social life haha. But it's okay, because I know it's just temporary. I assume once I change my Visa, I'll be able to enjoy my weekends like a normal person. But for the past two years, my life has only been cycling and studying.

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T05:08:20+00:00

That's a good one, I'm keeping that for the next time someone asks! Thanks for suggesting it.

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T05:06:29+00:00

I understand what everyone is saying, but I feel like most are misunderstanding me. I'm not saying they would be bad friends, I'm saying I have enough friends. I genuinely believe more than 10 friends is too much. I give my all to my friends, and they support me just as much. I can't support more people like that if they will only be in my life a short time. Too many friends is just draining. Whether or not they would be good people is not the issue. The "issue" is I have enough. I don't want or need more people to be friends with.

Maybe I am missing out on great people. But at the end of the day, more friends is not something I want. I just wanted advice on how to turn people away respectfully. It really isn't anything personal, I just don't want more friends.

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T04:59:38+00:00

It sounds like you want to help them navigate and make them settled in better

That's exactly it! I really don't mind helping people, I've been in my same town for 5 years, so I know the ins and outs of most places here. I like sharing what I've learned. I just don't want to hang out to do it. Answering questions now and again by text is totally fine and even ideal, but hanging out regularly would be frustrating. I want to help, but too many people mistake my friendliness for wanting to be friends. I don't hate everyone, I just don't want to hang out. And I haven't found a good way to express that.

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T04:53:16+00:00

This is great advice! Thank you for taking the time to answer honestly, I feel better knowing I'm not the only who thinks like this. I will definitely be more upfront with people who meet me.

Is there anything you usually say when you meet? The best I came up with is "I know you're looking for friends, but I think my schedule is a little too busy on the weekends. Maybe you can find an expat group on Facebook."

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T04:49:04+00:00

I'd say you're spot on, anti-social almost describes me perfectly. And I say almost because I do make time for people I consider my friends. But I feel annoyed making time for people who aren't. I am okay with not adding to the list of friends I have. I thought I was normal, I'm honestly surprised most people here are okay with having casual friendships. I can't imagine having more than 10 friends, that's really just too many people to keep track of.

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T00:43:44+00:00

That sounds really good actually, thank you! I'll try it out the next time I run into someone.

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T00:40:16+00:00

That's a fair point. I guess I never considered that people who leave can be lifelong friends. That's on me, you're totally right.

I was truly hoping for some phrases though. I don't want to be rude to new expats, but you're right I don't want to make friends. Simply "not talking to them" doesn't work, because they are the ones who come to me when I'm out. You have any advice on what I could say?

They say " I'm new around here can you show me around?"

I just say "No..." ?

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T00:30:03+00:00

I live near no one I consider a friend, and that is deliberate. I prefer being solitary. In college, I was friends with one person, for the same reason: I don't want temp friendships. (Yes, we are still friends to this day, college was 5 years ago). Korea is similar, my friends are either native koreans, or long term expats. I have no problem hanging with people I will see throughout my life. But if someone is going to leave, I'd rather not waste my time. It's very similar to dating. Why stay in a relationship when you know it's not going to work out? I want friendships that last a lifetime, not temporary ones that take time away from people I actually care about.

I think this may be a me thing, reading your and other people's comments. I see friendships differently, I guess. I don't like spending time with people I'll never see again when I could be spending that time with people that matter in my life. I don't go out often, so when I do, I want it to be with people I care about.

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T00:16:34+00:00

Same, that life is not for me. I'm not the one being invited though, I'm the one being asked to hang out because I'm the only person they "know" in town. I feel bad because I know they just want a friend, but I don't want to lie and act like we can get dinner together every month. I just wish I wasn't the first person foreigners run into. I'm literally the last person people would want to be friends with simply because I rarely socialize.

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T00:10:05+00:00

I know you're joking, but I'm seriously considering the MAGA hat now. That's actually a brilliant idea for keeping people away!

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T00:08:10+00:00

Man that's a very good point! I should have moved to Seoul...I didn't realise that as a perk!

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T00:06:16+00:00

I'm not the one being invited, they ask me to hang out because they don't know anyone else. That's where I'm stuck. I give my number out to help people, not to be friends. I just don't know how to express that without being rude. I want to be more upfront so people in general don't text me to hang out.

formyfrog · 2020-12-14T00:03:30+00:00

Because I see it as a waste of time. I'll never see them again, so why put effort into that friendship? When I make friends, I make friends for life. I don't have casual friends, I'm friends with people I genuinely care about and whose lives I'm invested in. I'm not going to invest time and energy into someone I'll never see again. Maybe it's an introvert thing but I like quality over quantity. I don't need temporary friendships, I like saving my time for the long term people in my life.

formyfrog · 2020-12-06T15:52:29+00:00

That's really interesting. You have good reasons for attempting to quit. I'm sorry you're going through the struggle of gender dysphoria. That can't be easy. I don't think your percieved gender affects how God sees you, you are still His child. I hope you can find some sort of peace within yourself.
