Speaking from LatinAmerica here (from an Argentine perspective, specifically- please give your friend a high-five for me lol), I don’t think it’s that exotic or too over my head?

The architecture and some cultural values are definitely different, but besides those sitcoms airing here and on nick at nite, a lot of…

Likewise, my partner and I are planning a Cancun trip with my parents (2022-2023 ish... depending on the apocalypse). We honestly couldn’t be more excited! despite just turning 70 you’d think they were 35 with the energy and enthusiasm they have for travelling. I feel really lucky.

Oop a big thankyou to the person running this project; I’ve been a Playstation gal myself my entire life (naturally gravitated towards it for the JRPGs and Survival Horror boom of the PS2 era), but the ONE Xbox game I’ve been dying to play is the Xbox release of Fatal Frame 2, Director’s Cut et all. It’s the only Xbox…

Let me tell you, as a Fatal Frame fanatic I want nothing more than a PS5 sequel to the series, but as it was bought by Nintendo since the 4th installment, I can only pray it even GETS a sequel for the Switch- we’re still waiting on 5 to at least get ported to it (and it’s my least favorite of the franchise tbh, what a…

Exactly the same! Diet Coke is that one particularly bad habit I have, but it’s all due to taste, not health. During one of my rarer trips to McDonalds, I had someone laugh at me for ordering a regular burger/fries order + diet coke.

“You know that diet stuff isn’t going to offset anything you’re eating today, right?”

Vouching for this one- also playing on PS5, been playing for abouuut what, 4 days? 7 crashes so far. Wasn’t even trying to do anything crazy, I’m riding a motorcycle for 30 seconds and boom, crash. textures will flicker, had a few t-posing npcs. Already had the game glitch like 15 minutes in, with a quest not marking…

Not me, but I grew up watching my parents sleep in separate rooms- I thought it was normal, and one day panicked watching a movie where “mom and dad don’t sleep together in the same bed = divorce soon” lol.

They calmly explained to me that their sleeping habits weren’t compatible (mom was a fidgety sleeper, dad snored…

This better pass. I grew up in Argentina, and amongst my ritzy high school peers, there would be whispers of how one of our classmates “had to go to Uruguay” over the summer (where abortion is legal- they’d go to fancy hospitals apparently, iirc?). In that bubble, I had never stopped to consider not everyone had those…

Doubling on not everyone being American or raised on the intricacies of American history. 

The first time I ever saw a confederate flag was when it was featured in Murdoc’s winnebago at the end of a Gorillaz music video, I must have been 11? and I grew up in South America. When I heard it got replaced with a pirate…

Oh god this horrifying to read. I need to go hug my partner now (who takes care of dinner every night and does all the laundry because those are the two specific chores I DESPISE. I do make it up by doing the deep cleaning stuff)

I had to google what habichuelas was, but it looks like the red bean version of our feijão(we use black beans). That along with rice are an absolute staple in Brazilian culture, and a necessity at the table; although I know we’re not always invited to the Latine party for not being hispanic lol

If tiktok has taught me anything, is that technology changes but teens stay pretty much the same. I feel like I’m having some sort of stroke with the discourse I’m hearing and the communities being formed. “Didn’t I already go through this in the tumblr era?” was my go-to phrase for a while until the algorithm finally…

Considering how most famous people’s relationships go, this sounds like an ideal situation to be honest lol- each person works on their own projects, doesn’t spill their work drama into the relationship? sign me up!

I used to think I’d want to keep every console that came my way, but I’ve made exceptions.

I’m definitely keeping my handhelds (gameboys, ds, even the infamous Vita) and my PS2, since it’s my favorite generation and there’s games I still play on it to this very day (from the 1 and 2 libraries).

I was actually just…

I pinkie swear this isn’t a “poor lil me” rant, but I came to the same realization after I became a homeowner (inherited my grandmothers’ house). It’s not even some sprawling suburban mcmansion, it’s a lovely small city home that you would think would be manageable. Nope. The stress over the maintaince is something…

Ugh, I’m another unfortunate one whose original launch PS4 started with the beeping and disk spitting. 3 different fixes at 3 different shops, yet it continued to do so. I eventually retired it (it had P.T on there!! That one still stings!!) and got a new one- the fat model but with the button instead of the sensor.

I’m picking the PS3, but specifically for my tastes.

It’s not that it didn’t have a great library, some of my favorite games of all time (Catherine) started out there! but coming after the absolute juggernaut that was the PS2, PS3's generation of games felt SO safe and less interesting by comparison. It was especially…

I’m Brazilian-American, but mostly grew up down south before moving to the US after college. People ask me if the change was jarring, but it wasn’t; all the problems I see in my home country are the same here, just with a brighter coat of paint and more humidity. When Bozo got elected I felt like I was reliving 2016.…

Similar story! my family owned the same fake tree since 1989, and it only got retired two years ago; it was always nostalgic to remember how HUGE it looked to me as a toddler, and by the time it was thrown out we were about the same height. We had even kept the glorious 80's Macy’s box it came in- I miss it!

Aaaall the way back in May I had a friend invite me to go on a cruise this December (“the rates are so good now!”); when I told her that something in my bones told me we wouldn’t be out of the woods then, she replied that her boss was an insider in the military and that things would be under control by then.

I’m not…
