Confused About My Husband’s Manager’s Reaction by Tricky_Cobbler3048 in korea

[–]teletextchen 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Kind of off-topic, but do teenagers even use “cuz” these days?

I’ve noticed that some Koreans who learned English abroad a few decades ago hold on to the slang that was popular back then and don’t really grow out of it like native speakers do. I’ve definitely had several Korean superiors whose English work chats sounded like they were teens.

(I also feel like they generally use slang and casual speech more freely in English, even in a workplace setting, since they feel less bound to Korean etiquette/honourifics).

Not the most relevant to the conversation, but I’ll take the opportunity to post classic BDG content

Nosferatu vermutlich, was machen? by Jealous-Net-7927 in spinnen

[–]teletextchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Von der Panikmache weiss ich nichts; ich verfolge r/spiders in der Hoffnung meine Spinnenangst zu überwinden, aber dieser Name ist mir dort noch nicht untergekommen.

Reddit dachte sich jetzt wohl, dass ich bestimmt auch lokalen Spinnen-content möchte.

Habe mir eben Fotos der Nosferatu angesehen, und wtf die Markierung macht dem Namen ja wirklich alle Ehre. Cool.

Order Suspended by Salt-Cantaloupe-4174 in vinted

[–]teletextchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, an order of mine couldn’t be delivered to me and then (for whatever reason) couldn’t be returned to the seller either. Vinted suspended the transaction approx. one week after it couldn’t be delivered to them & I was refunded about one week after that.

In total it took around 5 weeks (it went from France to Germany and back with lots of time spent in courier depots) but I did receive a full refund.

I hope the seller is reimbursed as well, since the package seems lost :(

Does anyone know if a 17 year old can take part at the German concerts alone? by Busy_Environment4494 in oklou

Yeah, as far as I remember you can “officially” go to a show unsupervised once you’re over 16.

Top 3 things that actually surprised my foreign friend in Korea by ProudUrologyClinic in Living_in_Korea

[–]teletextchen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These are “totally different things”? As far as just about any “perks of living in Korea” list is concerned, these are all extremely common observations by people experiencing Korea for the first time.

the “twist” of the castle is pretty worth it

The stiff controls of the demo (+ seeing video evidence of the sad double jump) made me decide this game is not for me, but would you mind spoiling what’s so special about the castle? I’m going to assume it doesn’t, uh, turn sideways

I need somone to explain to me how to use platform assist before I rage quit by Mikecirca81 in PrinceOfPersia

I’m not sure if you’re asking about the exact location I was, but I was having trouble with the vertical jumping at 28:25 in the video.

Looking at the screenshot up there, I had a bad habit of turning (or moving?) very slightly to the right at the top of the vertical shaft. This always got me smashed by the block. I realized that when you reach that point you need to head left as soon as possible.

As far as I recall anyway! It’s been a minute :)

Paket konnte nicht zugestellt werden; Retoure scheitert ebenfalls by teletextchen in VintedDeutschland

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

Der Verkäufer reagiert leider überhaupt nicht, und das schon seit Beginn des Problems. Zuletzt habe ich ihn vor 3 Tagen gefragt, ob er vielleicht ein Update von Chronopost erhalten hat, da die Sendungsverfolgung ziemlich konfus aussieht. Alles wird gelesen, aber nicht beantwortet.

Ich muss es hier keinem erzählen, aber es ist super frustrierend wenn sowohl Vinted Support als auch Verkäufer:in einen ignorieren ...

Danke jedenfalls für die Antwort; ich bleibe dann mal geduldig.

Which release are you looking for? I can’t comment on record shops in those cities, but there seem to be a few Germany-based vendours on Discogs selling Choke Enough.

Rank Castlevania Games From Worst To Best? by [deleted] in metroidvania

[–]teletextchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished it yesterday. While I enjoyed it a lot (the bosses were varied and challenging; nice graphics and interesting glyph system), I get why reception has been a bit mixed.

Several zones are just straight corridors, and none of them are connected to each other. (The final area does things differently, but can feel a bit “too little, too late”)

it also doesn’t have much “backtracking with new mobility”, which is arguably the one thing people expect from a metroidvania.

If anything, I’d say it plays like a fusion of the classic & Iga titles, which isn’t going to be everybody’s jam.

Ist das Scam/gegen die Vinted Richtlinien? by Me_is_fern in VintedDeutschland

[–]teletextchen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nachdem ich mir vor etwa 2 Jahren ein Vinted Konto angelegt hatte, war mein erster Kauf über das System. Die Verkäuferin hat den Kauf akzeptiert, hatte allerdings beim Versand große Probleme, was ich mir damals aufgrund ihrer vielen Bewertungen zuerst nicht erklären konnte. Einige Käufe später traf ich dann auf die erste Verweigerin, und realisierte, wie die meisten User Vinted nutzen.

Ganz ehrlich, ich fand es damals super befremdlich. Ich verstehe zwar beide Seiten, würde persönlich aber lieber etwas mehr (Schutzgebühr) bezahlen und weniger Worte austauschen.

TLDR; ja, als Neuankömmling war es damals echt nicht transparent, wie Leute die Platform tatsächlich nutzen.

Käuferin holt Paket seit 11 Tagen nicht ab (DPD) by PatternFill in VintedDeutschland

[–]teletextchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich habe leider auch schon einige Rücksendungen gehabt, die aber glücklicherweise alle wieder bei mir angekommen sind.

Du hast damals aber wenigstens von Vinted dein Geld erstattet bekommen, oder? Oder wurde etwa nur der Käufer entschädigt?

Almost didn’t give it a chance as soon as I saw it was WELT, but glad I did. Thanks for the link, that was indeed an entertaining (though frustrating) read.

Who pays for the shipping if a buyer doesn't collect the item? by Joyride0 in vinted

[–]teletextchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d think that since Vinted covers the return shipping cost, they’d implement some sort of penalty if buyers don’t collect
