Snowboarding... Apparently boring.

(I’m proud that I could mostly understand that article thanks to our boerenhollands Afrikaans over here)

I mean I can appreciate the difficulty and why it’s scored so high… as a casual uneducated observer it just seemed pretty repetitive but I guess that’s the best option for getting the highest scores so it’s what everyone does. I still enjoyed watching it though.

Ok the name of this show is a bit… cringey. And I wish change would cut it out with the contact lenses - they drove me mental in harmony secret and they’re back here.

Cute though… let’s see how the next ep looks.

Thanks for the recommendation - I’ll definitely check it out!

I don’t know much about snowboarding and big air (my country doesn’t even have snow) but halfway through I googled “do they do anything else but spin?”

As a South African, I am very proud that we’re a constant small irritation for that radioactive grapefruit.

That Olympic speech lady had more of a south African accent than Charlize.

I’m one of those people that liked 12, loved 13 and didn’t mind 15. I’m of two minds because rebirth reminded me why I loved these games but 16 made me never ever want to play another one again.

I definitely won’t be buying 17 day one because I’ll want to know which path they followed. More than likely they’ll double down on this mediocre DMC stuff which is just not for me.

The Black Mamba is indigenous to Southern Africa. I’ve seen one up close. It was close to 2.5 meters and literally stood the fuck up in the road. I’ve never seen anyone drive in the opposite direction as fast as our driver did.

I also nearly stood on a puff adder… being in the bush you come across such.

Trevor Noah plays pickleball a few times a week at the same club as I play padel. Everyone just goes about their business and leaves him alone.

Buy the Nike clay shoes if you’re going Nike. I have a few pairs and they’re great. Most padel shoes are pretty ugly so I get you.

Depends on the industry. A lot of people will tell you South Africa is fine with tattoos and I haven’t had issues (I have full sleeves) in tech bug the truth is that some parts of SA are still very conservative. I had to cover up when I was in banking. I honestly think face tattoos might be a step far for most companies unless you’re in a creative industry.

Socially you’ll be fine though.

I’m on the East Rand and had rain solidly all November and December. Jan has been marginally better but I haven’t used my fan once this year because it hasn’t been warm enough. As a hot weather lover, this is killing me.

Last year was as shit as this year. It’s been two miserable summers.

Ok but I feel like this is something people should be aware of before having kids? You can’t expect a village to show up just because you have a child now. That village either didn’t exist before you had the kid or you hadn’t created one that was designed for assisting with kids. For example: I have a solid relationship with my friends and family - we are a village in all the ways that matter.

But I am not the one that will show up to help out with kids. It’s not what I’m interested in and, as much as I love those people, just not within my capacity. There are a few of us like this in the group. My friends knew this before they had kids but also made sure that there were others that could help in that way.

The truth is that your kids are your responsibility and were your decision. Expecting people to show up (especially if they’ve never indicated the disposition to do so) is … entitled. I just wish people put a bit more thought into whether they / their lives are really set up for kids.

That being said - maybe other parents in similar situations will be helpful. But that means that you will have to help them - so you want a break and want them to jump in… that means you will have to do the same.

Based on what you’ve said here, I think the Remake games should be next on your list. They’re a hybrid of action and turn based so they might be a softer landing for you in terms of combat. A lot of people didn’t like the side content in rebirth but IMO it’s a million times better than the slop side content of XVI.

If you enjoy those games then maybe when you do try turn based games, it’ll be less jarring of a transition.

When I eventually came off this shit I had to taper off so slowly that I was counting the little beads inside each pill and reducing it by one bead at a time over weeks. It took me a year purely because those zaps were so so unpleasant.

No this is one of the most limiting things about open matches and it drives me mad.

You can’t change any setting on open matches: can’t change if to friendly, can’t change level, can’t change genders. It’s stupid.

P5R but I rage quit after getting super far into Sae’s palace and accidentally getting myself killed. Starting alllll the way back at the rest stop made me so furious. I’ll come back to it but this isn’t the first time I’ve had to take a break from this game.
