I get this feeling, but I think it helps to remember the amount of times I've seen a message and been like "I have more to say than I have time/energy for at this exact moment". Still not fun to go through ofc

The context I always used to hear about was American businessmen doing playful insults during meetings with Japanese businessmen and it not being taken well.

Not like I don't have tons of other metroidvanias to play, but man,

Remember 11: what is a snow storm if not a cold, airborne body of water
Never 7: I think they went swimming at some point, idk

I have the opposite feeling on this, where I feel weird about saying "good morning" to my English-speaking friends at 10am, also because of förmiddag

The joke is that people often cite fishing as a side activity they enjoy in games, and that VNs don't have a lot of hard "game mechanics", so you'd either, absurdly, be implementing a fishing simulator into a choose-your-own-adventure story, or write a chapter about going fishing for no reason.

I always feel bad about asking for help, but I'll do so.

My name is Alexandra, and I'm a trans woman freelancing as a writer/editor and artist, but am struggling economically, with fewer and worse-paid jobs.

If you want to help, it's probably easiest through ko-fi: ko-fi.com/alexandraidv

Instead it just kept going after that

And now that you know that "anka" means "duck" in Swedish, you'll be able to understand about 75% of the wordplay in these comics.

Yes, "Fröken Ankfot" is literally "Miss Duckfoot". Although this character's name in the original English version is "Webfoot"

But can ducks' fursonas be other birds? Yes.
