Arika got a reaction from Gamer Schnitzel in The AMA
That's not even true. Sure the most popular ones are of people who have done something great or are from famous people, but normal everyday people do them all the time.
You don't have to participate, other people may want to and clearly have.

You're an individual, the best type of person there is. The world would be a very boring place if everyone was the same.
Thanks for the answer anyway.
I find Ozzie's fascinating, It's almost like the C word is a term of endearment to Aussie youths, at least that's how they're portrayed in the media here in England. Beer guzzling and foul mouthed, very much like English youths tbh

HA , I barely drink. i drink like twice a year. I do curse when i'm around people im comfortable with (not excessive though), I also know how to turn it off when i need to be professional or around new people. I wouldn't call my self feminine either. I feel like I'm half way between girly and tom-boyish. To be honest, I have no idea what i am.

Shape-shifting. Who wouldn't want the ability to like like what ever they wanted? Most people would say flight or something boring, but with Shape-shifting i could turn into a bird (or, hell, even a dragon) and be able to fly anyway. it's just such a versatile power that has endless possibilities.
My backup would be Telekinesis
Keyboard is what i'm the most picky about. It's hard to find a keyboard i'm happy with, but once i find it, i can swap out as many other parts as needed, but the keyboard will stay the same.

alright, a lot to unpack with this one .
I have not, though it's also not the kind of music i go looking for.
Harrier Jump-Jet.
not always.
generally newer, but i can appreciate older ones.
Sounds about right. Seems most people don't know about it
Nope, thats why i made this AMA
Not sure if AA counts, but the 2K22 Tunguska is terrifying
Because it's not something a regular person would really think about?
as above.
38
A thing, no matter what.

Carbonara pls!
Definitely Simulation, and maybe as weird as it sounds, the one that has impacted me the most was Eurotruck Simulator 2. I have a much greater respect for trucks on the road while i'm driving. I used to hate driving around or behind them, but now i understand them a bit more

I can say the top one right now is Final Fantasy XIV.
The other two seems kind of out there. There's a lot of games I enjoyed, but it's hard to pick which ones I'd gush over again. But if you were to make me pick two, they'd have to be Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana.
Settling down somewhere with a house, maybe a partner. I probably won't move from where I'm at in general though.

Simple answer is: photoshop
The extended, proper answer would involve me creating an actual tutorial for it since it would be too hard to explain purely in text. I can see if I can put one together in the next day to two since you're not the first person to ask.

It's a close race between Drama and Graphic Design. Neither of them actually help with my current job but they were by far the most enjoyable classes

I've given up on using voice chat. The "good" experiences outweigh the bad in terms of numbers only. but the bad experiences outweighed the good in terms of everything else. Most of the time the reaction was "cool a girl" that's it. Just wanting to get a girls attention is rarer (at least in my case), generally it was people berating me, verbally abusing me (for any little mistake, or even like dying in a FPS game where respawning is a thing) sexual comments, unwanted PMs and friend requests. Some people just get really weird when playing an online game and they know there's a girl, it's like they lose all semblance of how to act normal because there's the anonymity of being online.
It's also part of the reason why i hid my identity on here for so long because of the similar demographic.
not necessarily part of the answer to your question but there was someone i was friends with that i met on a game that we used to play together, but it turned sour when he was under the assumption that i was his girlfriend and i liked him (we never spoke about being in a relationship at all) it was just that i was the only female that he was friends with (both on and offline), so i guess it was inevitable that he would develop feelings. Ever since then, i feel like i need to tell people "Don't mistake friendliness for flirting".

I haven't had many "hardships" in life, but the thing that stands out most would be bringing my self to drive again after a car accident when i was 19 that i had no right in surviving, let alone walking away with a few minor scratches. came over a blind hill as some guy crossed into my lane trying to turn into another street (80km/h speed limit so effectively around 140-160km impact for both cars). hit head on, airbags (which are not soft in any way) car written off. Ambulanced to hospital, xray'd, only had a scratch on my cheek from the (metal rods in) airbag. nothing broken, no internal bleeding. but just the feeling of dread in the split second. i didn't drive for the next like 8 months

Arika got a reaction from Lord Mirdalan in The AMA
honestly, it's probably my co-workers that are the reason I'm staying in the role i'm in. we have a great team and I don't think i'd have the kind of connections I currently do if i went off to do something else. Some days i do wish i could just get up and leave because i deal with a lot of stupid people everyday. But ultimately it's a fairly easy job, laid back enough that i don't get TOO stressed and the pay makes me happy
