Congratulations, you are now white and no longer Asian. Please call the enclosed number (1-800-BE-WHITE) on your phone if your epicanthic fold has not changed overnight. Rs and Ls in speech patterns should revert almost immediately. Hair density in certain regions should normalize over 4-6 weeks.

Yo Northeast Asian GAF, it's about $600 or so to fly to HK in November with Air Canada.
This is so tempting.

I don't know D:
I need to see how the money's going to work out, since I'm planning to buy a car soon.
You have to buy a Ford F-150 or a Dodge Ram since we're all white now.

I just watched In Search of General Tso on Netflix and recommend it highly. It's really interesting, and I came away from it with a much greater respect for Chinese restaurants, workers, and owners.
I also came away with a desperate hankering for Chef Peng's original recipe.

There's a bunch of related deals for YEG, YYZ and some other city I can't remember through Delta, so it might be a code-share with Air Canada. I think the layover is in Seattle before flying across the Pacific?

I'll place it on my watch list. I find the documentaries to be the most interesting thing on Netflix.

I'm done with DOTA. The game has clearly passed me by after a 7 month hiatus. This last week of playing has just been an exercise in frustration.
DOTA is only worth watching at this point for me, and only during TI. I couldn't handle the community. I didn't even mind the fact where learning the game was like a second job, because I basically did that with WoW for years on end.
You guys just need to stop tying your enjoyment of the game to wins/losses. Just play your best and strive to play better than you did last game.
And auto-mute everyone in the game immediately upon entering the game.
Are you sure you're Asian?
Yep. Because I realize that unless you're in one of the top 5 teams in the world, you're just a varying degree of shit

So true. :<
I feel this way watching Kronovi in Rocket League.

I'm sad to say that it's not just about wins for me....gotta dominate. Being carried after a long losing streak is just as unsatisfying.
I feel like there's something super obvious that I'm missing that would improve my game. It just sucks being another team's punching bag. The other thing is that I've lost a lot of game sense from when I used to play regularly. There were some instances last night where I just shook my head in disbelief at some of my mistakes I made.
Whatever the case, it's off my computer...
That's why you mute everyone
It happens, people have bad games - in all games, not just DOTA. Nothing you can do but shrug, salvage any lessons you can (sometimes there aren't any), and move on.
I guess the same could be said of other hobbies too, where there's a skill level involved. Hell, I still have to repeatedly tell myself that hobbies don't have a ROI and I shouldn't be obsessed with things other than simply enjoying myself!
I had a few friends growing up that played competitive CS, and eventually they just quit because despite being at the top tiers they weren't having fun anymore. Some of my other friends just LAN because it was more fun to play with friends than a competitive ladder.

I'm all about the single player experience now.
I still get competitive on leaderboards sometimes, though. "Oh, you did this AR map and got a 115 combo? Here's a video of my 197 combo with 15 variations."

I remember being in accelerated classes in school. Really didn't think it was worth it for the extra workload.
Came to hate it, when you see how much work you do, and how much somebody else coasting to an A does.
Though now that I look back, easing my way through school, came back to bite me in college, university, and life after that...
That work ethic, where you're doing 100% more than most in class, really is useful in life.

Been playing a lot of Rising Storm. I really enjoy it. Good big map. Frustration yet rewarding.
But there is a fuck ton of racist comments towards Japanese from the community.

You mean Rising Storm?
Cause the Red Orchestra community is pretty fuckin terrible, and this was before they added the Japanese theatre.

Oops yea rising storm. Yea they're pretty awful, but sometime they keep the racism to the minimal and focus on team work and winning.
Man I remember the RO forums back in the days, people littered their forum avatars and signatures with a bunch of nazi germany symbols and would cry that ITS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE IM NOT A NAZI YOU GODDAMN JEWS basically. Just the most outrageous amount of Nazi fetishizing ever mixed with outrageous denial. They probably still do that.
I haven't played RS myself but I can only imagine.
Apparently Insurgency's community is probably like that too, but for Middle Easterners.

I've only been to HK like once for a day. I wish I had more time to explore.
Have fun!
Food pics?
Oh, I saw you in a server yesterday or the day before. I was wondering why the name "seductivpancakes" sounded so familiar. We should play together sometime!
The racist comments in general are way out of control. Anti-Japanese, anti-German, anti-Russian (but no anti-American, lol). It's relatively easy to ignore the comments, though. I think it's just a reflection of the terrible community - there's petty rivalries between all of the veteran players, and they're pretty unfriendly to new players (although they're pretty helpful if you ask questions).
But sometimes everything goes right. You get a TL calling out strats and getting good artillery marks. You get an amazing Squad Leader 1 that spawns half your team in a flanking position. You get a 10-player banzai charge going. That's why I keep playing that game.
I used to play Insurgency, too. It's impossible to get through a 16-24 player match without hearing someone make a Muslim joke.
Need food pics nowwwwww.

Oh man, Hong Kong. One of the best food cities in the world.
I'd suggest playing on a European server rather than a North American one. I've just found the community less toxic/racist in general (and this seems to apply to all WW2 games). But of course, there's always a fair share of Wehraboos
Man I never heard of this before but it makes so much goddamn sense.
They're WW2 Nazi Germany fanboys. (BUT THEY'LL INSIST THEY WEREN'T ALL NAZIS OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE BAD HITLER THINGS, JUST PATRIOTIC GERMAN PEOPLE DOING THEIR DUTY, YOU TOTALLY CAN'T DISPROVE THAT)
The German Army = Wehrmacht
We call anime obsessed people in the western hemisphere Weeabos

At the HK Supermarket near my parent's house I think the Banh Mi are still $2.50 each. It's on the other side of town for me though :<
