Serenes Forest's Teehee Thread

It's kinda funny how the Pirate Warriors 4 version of Blackbeard is so bad against Logia users. Power negation on contact is his entire shtick, yet he of all people struggles so much to touch Logia.
He can overwhelm other types through the sheer power of Mosou spam. But Logia types don't take damage until their armor is broken. Which Blackbeard sucks at. I don't think anyone in the cast struggles with that as much as he does.
It really feels like he should have a guard break move in his arsenal.

I think also one of the things i have to plan for is to leave Berlin within a year

I love the City, spending most of my life there and all, but what's happening atm...

It's been always a "Low wagea but cheap life" city

That cheap life part if flying outta the window faster than you can finish Rainbow Road 64 in MK8

I know Germany as that place where fellow Spaniards travel to so they can get work. In light of that, this is... rather sad to hear.

It's more of a Berlin problem, even if inflation is affecting the whole of Germany like the rest of the world.

Prices in Berlin are just rising Ultra fast.

To give an example, i am trying to search for a 2 room apartment in the part of the city i used to live in as a student. A couple years back it would've cost me ~750€ or so, 600 with a good deal.

Atm all i am seeing prices around 1500€....

1200€ if i am lucky, and that will be with 800 other people trying to get the same apartment.

In Berlin the wages are generally low, so these prices are...

How can min. wage people even live like this

Well here in the US, NYC was named the most expensive city in the world for the first time.

I know people dealing with high rent, so I can understand your position.

Have you ever considered a roommate for any relocation you're planning, to split the bill?

We're in that kind of situation here, though a lot of that is that there's not that many places available for rent to begin with. Even where I'm at I'm seeing 12 options and 2 are 2 bed for under 1500, above 1200 and of the places available plenty hit over 2000 per month. For a place that is far from the capital. And there are some businesses, but I wouldn't call it a booming hub of new ideas and bustling industries. What factors there are seem to include a convenience of geography.

Sharing accommodation isn't as bad price wise, but for how those work it's still ridiculous for many situations and plenty would be clearly uncomfortable moving into that. Last place I was in like that was a 2/3 bed converted into a 7 bed and pretty crummy besides. Price was thankfully nowhere near the numbers now, because I was not on much above minimum wage. And I saw worse when I was looking for a place in that time, I still remember that horror case full of mould and bad ventilation and the bed was a mattress on the floor and if it weren't for the cupboard and wardrobe would have been an empty room.

I went there multipe times, but not this year. Berlin is filled with museums as you probably know

We even have a "Long Night of the Museums" every year, for one ticket you can visit all museums in Berlin on that night.

We also have other "Long Night" stuff.

I am already living with my brother. and we plan to continue doing so for the foreseeable future.

But we also wanna start planning for the future (we don't wanna share the same apartment forever lol), and with these prices we might live well (me with full time and him with part time as a student), but it's impossible to put anything aside to plan for the future or for emergencies.

I agree. With the overall point, but I already spoke my mind there before, so let me agree with this part specifically. Let's all stop saying bad things about Binding Blade, and let's turn to praising Dougy instead.

...Seriously, it kills me that we're going to miss out on HD Dougy, for a few years at least, for the sake of Walking In HD. Such a damn shame.

In addition, I would also like to praise Doggy. I visited my brother yesterday and he has a very floofy and cuddly dog.

--

Speaking of dogs, I did not expect political commentary in the fricking Peanuts. There was some light jab at the presidental candidates earlier that year (1988 - "Abraham Lincoln would have won easy..." - Sally) already, but I did not expect this open a statement. Well, technically only implied, but pretty obvious nonetheless. Although, come to think of it, back when Schulz introduced Franklin, that in itself was considered to be a political statement.

It "helps" that Laguz adopt a "united front" when it comes to being anti-Beorc. Like the birds here being a good example. Both hawks and ravens attack Begnion ships in revenge of the Serenes Massacre... but outside of that, yes, they are different. But to those being victims of their raids, yes, it can look like they're not too different and thus get lumped together.

That's part of the reason why first nation peoples sometimes set aside their cultural differences to band together as one people. We all have that shared history of loss and grief and so we try to stick together against the colonialism still present in our nations.

This reminds me of a Q&A from my Smithsonian Magazine issue a few months ago.:

Q: I still see the term "American Indian" in use, including in the title of a Smithsonian museum. Why Not say "Native American" instead?

A: Native people prefer to be identified with their own specific tribe or tribes. But when it comes to describing all of these nations with one term, there's no consensus. Groups in Alaska like to be called "Alaskan Natives," while those in Canada prefer the term "First Nations." Some others in South America call themselves "AmerIndian." Even though the term "Indian" originally came from a misunderstanding, many tribal people still prefer it over the alternatives. (Some point out that any person born in the Americas could be called a "Native American.") I personally say "American Indian" because it is the language of the law between the tribal and federal governments.

Yeah pretty much.

Perhaps it's my Mayan privilege but I don't have much of a preference personally, I'm fine with any terms that aren't "Savage"

I haven't been to the National Museum of the American Indian yet despite several visits to Washington DC. Seeing one American Indian exhibit among many others in a large art museum is fine, but dragging family members through an entire museum of it isn't quite as easy as the Air and Space, Natural History, American History, or American Art museums. I want to visit the NMotAI, but I'd have to do with on my own, still don't have a driver's license or independent income for that.

I've actually never been there either believe or not, though we have lots of local museums with curious artifacts where I live.

Museums are a good first start but if you really want to learn about First Nation peoples than you should visit reservations and talk to people, which I know is easier said than done, but it's worth it.

I should consider myself lucky that I don't have to worry for apartment/house hunting. Heck, in theory my family owns two houses (one still with its loan being paid back, though), so we're set on that front.

Honestly, one of the main problems is that money is being hoarded at the top. The economy is stimulated if the money is allowed to flow freely. But that means giving the "peasants" more money so the "elite" would rather just keep it to themselves than let it go down even if it'd come back up again. Because that means they'd only have the money part-time, instead of all the time.

And then they deflect deflect deflect with the "it's socialism/communism!" card.

It's basically an accessory that gives Canto. You needed for Reyson, Janaff, or Ulki to talk with Naesala. This will turn the ravens to green units who would then leave the map. The ravens all need to survive too, if I recall. Then you get the Knight Ring.

"Communism would never work because it relies on people being generous and selfless expecting nothing in return, which is not true"

Capitalism relies on the elite being kind and selfless enough to let the money flow
