Reconnected with my sister and I found out that her favorite game is League of Legends. She just turned 12.
She's my baby sister. I don't want her to grow up.
League, eh? You won't have to worry about her growing up for a while

Who said playing LoL was part of growing up?

Grown-ups play Bloodborne.
I don't know what the hell I'm doing in that game.

How can you travel to someplace in your country and only eat at nationwide chains?
Maybe some of them get indigestion when they eat at local places.

Is the "Chinese" one mandarin I guess?

I am having a blast with the game. Pleasantly surprised as I did not like Dark/Demon Souls. I want to go back and give those games another chance.

I didn't buy the Chinese one, but I would assume so.
Edit: Yeah, just checked and it looks like it uses Mandarin audio instead of Cantonese.
Are you having trouble adjusting to the game in terms of mechanics, or that there's not enough guidance on where to go next, or the plot?
Oh yeah thanks for the link. My fiancé has been wanting to learn for a while so she isn't out of the loop when I talk to the fam. I had been meaning to get some pimsleur audio lessons for her but this seems a lot better since its interactive.

Might still wanna get the audio lessons for her, because the app is pretty much just a dictionary but with a solid amount of words/phrases/idioms. I don't think there are sentences in the dictionary.
Oh thank you so much. I've been looking for something like this for a while now, since I want to brush up on my Cantonese.
In other news, I'm really disappointed in a friend of mine. I helped her out with rent a few months ago and now she's completely AWOL. I mean, I know she's been online and seen my emails but... yeah. I couldn't care less about the money -- and I would do it again for any friend in need -- but I'm just dismayed and disappointed with her.
This is why I have trust issues, alluding to a previous post of mine

You're welcome, and sorry about that, man. Have you tried calling her, or does she not pick up? :/ I'm glad you're not cynical over this, but that really sucks. I had to borrow money from my sister to pay a month's rent once, but I paid her back once I got the money. It's stressful when money's tight, but at the same time it sucks that she doesn't want to face you.

Same. Money is a serious subject and whatever I loan out, I never expect to get it back. People are just toxic like that.
Yeah, I never expect to get the money I loan out back. Money's not exactly tight on my part, but... I guess I just have this implicit expectation of people being decent, that's all.
She did end up replying but only after a direct and specific question. Her answer was so short that I'm honestly wondering what I should do with this whole situation in the near future. I mean, I want to let this go with some amount of decency and respect towards her but I have no idea on how to approach it... because I still have to give her the benefit of the doubt that she has no idea of what is actually happening or doing.
She does admit to her own flaws; it's just a matter of whether I can live with that if we're going to be friends.

Basically everything. I was walking around on the street, and then that huge dudebro with the giant cleaver killed me. That was one of many deaths, and I don't know how to actually get back to the Hunter's Deam while retaining blood echoes or how to level up or anything.
I also took a quick look at the starting guide posted in the OT, and it looks like I made all the wrong choices, choosing a Military Veteran, with the axe and the pistol. I just did it because I tend to favor pure-power builds in RPGs.

I'm no counselor, but I'll give my opinion that this particular person is very dodgy with answers.
It could be something embarassing, but I hope you eventually get to have a face-to-face to talk like mature adults. It's a difficult subject to approach, but I hope your situation improves for the better.
She always has been dodgy with answers. I don't think it's out of malice but rather trying to sort through her own issues.

I'm going back to China for 2 week tomorrow. I'm very nervous and excited. I'm gonna be in Guangzhou. What might suck is that I just found out the relative I'm staying with doesn't have internet!!! How am I going to keep up with GAF and my friends back in New York?

Hopefully you find some internet!
At times though, I feel that being away from the internet for a while is therapeutic in a way. It feels nice.
More importantly, how are you going to link us pictures of food?

I hope you have a fun, amazing time over there! Take lots of pictures where you're over there as well.
Just like everyone here, I await the food porn. LolHey, without internet, you get more time focus on things over there. It won't be all that bad. ^^

Have a safe trip. It can be quite refreshing to go without internet connection for awhile . You'll be fine.

Hi. Joined recently.
My wife is going back to Vietnam next week. Wish I could go with her but alas, not allowed. Never got to go back to the motherland.

Reporting live from China. Already broke through their firewall. Screw you Chinese government. I don't know if GAF is blocked or not, but I have my VPN cause I need to update my Facebook and Twitter.

I'm on a tablet so uploading pictures is a little tough. I tested gaf without proxy and it is blocked. Hey Evilord, what did you do to piss off the Chinese government?

It's hilarious how easy it is. One of my friends was like "ohnoes I won't get internet while I'm in China" when she was leaving HK, but reappeared less than a few hours later saying she got a VPN.

I always thought it was a East/Southeast Asian thing. My hair has gotten brownish at times to when I've been in the sun. Same goes for many members of my family and random Hmong people that I see. Sometimes I'll ask if they dye their hair and besides the obvious ones, they always say no and that it got brownish from being in the sun.

I want to see this dark blue hair. I support your decision. :3
Maybe just get a streak of dark blue in your hair to see if it looks good?

So the bf and I were finishing up dinner (A+A in Austin, great place), and I was telling him that I wanted to try one of those skillet dishes one of these days. Of course right after I said that, a server walked by with one of them.
The problem is we have no idea which dishes those are. I know some places have "sizzling" dishes, but I couldn't find it on the menu here. Is there some other name they're known by?

Even we can never know the secrets of The Neo.
This is what actually happens to me with my own hair, the more I'm in the sun the more it'll start changing, although not a very noticeable difference unless you were really up close.

So how's China
The few hours between these two posts I've become my relatives chief translator and IT technician all at once.
Even funnier was that I was complaining about my warobe having nothing but work cloths. Now I end up having something professional to wear when I meet their client.
