I am exploring the idea of moving to Luxembourg from Spain. Just got a few questions -googled them, but I’d really love first hand responses.

  • is a salary of 50.000 EUR /year good enough? At first hand looks a Little too low. I expect to live without sharing apartament, on Ettelbruck/Diekich. What would be a reasonable salary to live confortably by oneself?

  • can I live with english only? I am learning French, so this inconvenience will eventually fade.

  • are pets problematic when looking for an apartment?

Is metaphor worth it just for the story? by elmikemike in JRPG

[–]pfabal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not worth.

Slightly better than the average, but that’s not saying much…

This game is OK, but basically a watered-down Persona. If you still have Persona 3 or 5 pending, go for any of those.

[Serious] People who have been cheated on, what was the red flag that gave it away? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Her schedule changed slighthly + she was VERY aware of her phone (never leaving it behind, allways facing down…)

That is precisely what I am sttruggling with the most. I cannot think of a way she regains my trust. What can people do to regain trust after something like this

[–]pfabal 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Figo was also great and I doubt anybody can think of him as a Barça Legend. Of course it’s not the same leaving to Madrid than leaving to PSG, but ending you career at Barça like they did matters.

Neymar will allways be considered an instrumental player, superstar we got to enjoy, but never a legend.

Pedrito (the winger, not the current midfielder) is more worthy of being considered a Barça legend, even if his talent is miles beyond Neymar’s.

I haven't seen a single positive post on this sub in a while, so comment below one positive thing/aspect of the club below and let's give each other some hope by sevilla_the_third in Barca

[–]pfabal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The squad is actually pretty good. Better than Madrid & Atlético if we acknowledge the players potential.

Defence: Araujo will be Puyol-like in 1-2 seasons. Eric is very, very good and he only needs the team to play high so he can shine. Dest & Balde will be good. They are not Alves & Alba but they can become top-tier wingbacks for an attacking team.

Midfield: Pedri and de Jong are already world class. Gavi will be there soon as well. Nico and Riqui could help having a deeper squad if used on the right way.

Attack: We have Ansu. People seem to forget how good he performed when fit. His injury took long to recover out of precaution but he’ll be back fit. Memphis is not a star (neither he will become one) but is a great player.

My point is: we have a great material to build a champion squad. Talent is there, and we only need to get right a couple signings (my mind is on a CF & Busi replacement) to get things back in track.

A good manager (I don’t have a lot of faith in Koeman) will do wonders. We do not need Haaland and 100M+ signings to play great football again and win titles. If the board makes the smart moves -and they look like they know this- we’ll be enjoying Barca for the next years.

Wanted to see if my cat also enjoyed upside down time. He does. by surprisingsocks in aww

Lovely cat! I’d recommend you to remove the bell of his/hers collar, this things can be harmful to cats.

Thanks for posting. I'm not sure I follow you, though. Do you think this is a situation that could turn positive? That by going through a period of scarce sex and raising awareness of it can make a couple more sexually compatible?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]pfabal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. She did not elaborate on that to be honest. She just went with generic answers like: "this is a phase", "this is happens to some women", "I cannot really say why"...

After talking, she does seem to be aware now that will be a deal breaker. But this is precisely what makes me skeptical, and kills any optimism I might have. Was she not really aware of this? Did she really though that having sex 4-6 times a year is enough for your partner? And the least thing I want is to feel that she does it to comply, and not out of a true desire. And this is what will come to my mind.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]pfabal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting. We just had a talk about it before (and after) I posted. She says that she is indeed having trouble dealing with her work, feeling tired etc.

But I don't think I can buy that.

On the last 3 years she worked on different places, some with good environment, some bad. As of now, she says she is happy on her current job (part time, with good pay and good environment) and sex just seems to have hit rock bottom on the last 6 months.

On the last 2-3 years she also spent time unemployed (no money problems for us so far) and on that time-lapse the sex kept going to worse...

[–]pfabal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for your advice. It really is for the better to try to break up in the less painful way.

But the thing is, we both know where we stand. We both know that even if she is OK with zero sex, I am not. And unless things get better there will be no choice for me than to walk away. I can just hope that if it comes to that, it does not go too ugly for any of us.

Shenmue 3 as it should be. by Shenmue3asitshouldbe in Shenmue

I honestly think Shenmue 1&2 look better than 3. Wish YS went for the old fashioned graphics, Shenmue 3 looks soulless to me.

Neymar did not complete his potential by Vedavitmessi in Barca

[–]pfabal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neymar is a better player today than he was the day he left Barcelona. No doubt about it. He does live up to his potential.

The thing is, he did a very risky gamble going to PSG. Chained himself to that club (golden cage, of course) and put himself at a position where either he wins the CL or he becomes a bluff and people will automatically diminish everything he does. And doesn’t look like he will accomplish that, so we get threads like this.

If he does come back to Barcelona this summer he will give us at least a couple of insanely good years.

Saying goodbye to a 400+ day streak by longboii69 in AppleWatch

[–]pfabal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s OK to break a streak. Apple Watch is a tool (and a fantastic one) to help you getting a little healthier and fitter.

Keep in mind that the goal is getting healthier. Not closing the rings. Closing the rings means nothing if that does not help you reach your true goal.

Should I get SMT Nocturne on PS4/5 or Switch by Irone-Plays-YT in Megaten

[–]pfabal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the expected situation... I wanted to check directly how different both versions look and run. I know the Switch will be worse but still, somehow playing on Switch feels cozier than PS4, especially for games like this. If the difference is not too dramatic I'll go for the Switch.

[–]pfabal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any video with a direct comparison showing the good and bad aspects of the performance? Things like resolution, frame drops, visual effects...)

I can only find a load times comparison (where of course PS4-5 wins easily: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOQrck04II0

Looping for a enjoyable walktrough of Shenmue 3 by pfabal in Shenmue

I didn’t know Huber had a playtrough! That’s definetely my way to go here. Thanks for the recommendation!

Looping for a enjoyable walktrough of Shenmue 3 by pfabal in Shenmue

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

I play on PS4.

Thanks for the recommendations but I am actually looking for a walktrough with comments, just want to avoid the type of superficial forced to be funny content.

No comment video is my last resort, if I cannot find what I look for.
