A (likely secondhand) PS5 because a game I really want, Digimon Story Time Stranger, releases this year! That’s my biggest goal right now, but aside from that there’s also some albums and Tamagotchi I want to buy eventually haha

Nope there’s a form we compile for them where they give us either their IBAN or credit card number (just the number and expiry date not the secret code) alongside the name DOB and civic code. They keep a copy of it since it’s tax deductible too. I actually don’t really know exactly how it works because so far my team leader has been the one doing all the paperwork for me

Oh this is 100% legal here in Italy! It’s called commission based income (or something like that) and there’s no minimum wage here either (I worked for €5/hour at another job…) so it’s not a scam. Scummy for sure lol but completely legal.

If not Indeed is there anything else you’d recommend? I landed my previous jobs through connections and never really learned how to look for work online for as pathetic as that sounds haha. Genuinely the basic office job paying €800/month has been my goal for the past few years but they’re much harder to get than I thought they’d be, or maybe I just have no idea what I’m doing lol

Good on you for warning others honestly! That wounds dreadful, yikes

This place is very upfront about the fact they expect people to quit since they mostly hire high school/university students (another reason I don’t like it here, I’m in my 30s and older than everyone…) so that’s good, my problem is that I’m unfortunately a people pleaser and hate the idea of letting my team leader down after she’s been so nice to me haha. I know it doesn’t really matter and it’s something I just need to get over but it’s easier said than done lol

Oh totally!! I don’t have reason to think they would try to scam me but better safe than sorry

Oh man sounds crazy lmao!! With how incompetent they sound I find it hard to imagine they lasted much longer after you left

Oh I won’t add this to my CV at all lol so no worries there

Immediately thought of Sonic Adventure 2 lol I’ve never met anyone who actually owned a pair (I don’t think they ever made it to Europe but I might be wrong)

I totally forgot about Pokemon Shuffle! I remember being really into it for a while, but then hit a wall and it seemed like the only way forwards was to pay so I dropped it. I actually bought the full game for Pokemon Picross because I liked it so much lol

POKEMON RANGER WAS SO GOOD!! I 100%ed the second game multiple times because I loved it so much, the story and characters were so fun and I really appreciated the gameplay changes from Ranger 1 lol… Like I enjoyed the og Ranger a lot too! But boy it was unforgiving lmao

I actually really want to revisit Guardian Signs! At the time I played it (a few years after launch) I didn’t enjoy it, I don’t remember it super well but I remember finding the story lacklustre and the backtracking tedious. ;; But I was also at a time in my life where I just wasn’t as interested in pokemon, I feel like I’d enjoy it if I replayed it now

Omg?? I’ll have to check that out, thank you for the links!!

Omg it turns out I was following you there already?? Small world haha!

I keep two windows side by side: the left one has my email, youtube and sometimes a comic I’m reading or audiobook; the right one has a browser virtual pet game I check every few hours and is where I open new tabs to check lemmy, imgur, etc. Pretty clean! But then the moment I work on either art or coding I open a third window that usually gets to 10+ tabs oops

Ooo they’re adorable!! Kind of reminds me of the koroks from the Legend of Zelda, I love how you’re rendering the crystals too!

Hehe thanks!! Happy to be here, it’s a sweet little site so far! And I do!! My main site is Buzzly, but I also post on sheezy.art under the same name when I remember to lol

Mostly my own original characters which are either humans or anthros lol, with the odd quadruped animal as well! All the commissions I’ve done have been for people’s characters/fursonas too. And alas no insta haha I never posted to any mainstream social media (except I guess DeviantArt but I left back in 2013 lmao)

I’m finally getting back into drawing! Ended up getting really burnt out last month due to commission work (my clients are lovely for the record! I just find commissions very stressful lol) but finally felt like picking up my tablet again (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

I’ve also been playing a lot of Golden Sun lately! Finished the first game and started The Lost Age and man they’re just incredible games, can’t believe it took me this long to finally play them!!

Happened to me once when two of my friends started dating and then had a nasty breakup. Thankfully they didn’t involve me in it, worst that happened was one of them did complain about the other to me but it didn’t devolve into full on shittalking thankfully, and I just told them point blank I’m still friends with their ex and while their frustrations are valid, I’m not comfortable with them venting to me. We’re all adults so that’s where it ended and I’m still friends with both! I don’t think they ever made up but I also don’t feel it’s my place to ask lol it’s been years at this point so it’s just water under the bridge

If this keeps happening to you I’m afraid you need better friends. Unless the reason they’re fighting is due to something serious (assault, robbery, discrimination, etc.) there’s no reason they should involve you. I know it can be hard to be harsh with people you care about, but sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is to tell them to grow up lol, sometimes people need to watch all their bridges burn before they realise they’re the one that needs to change
