Well not really I would say, normally... But I ended up playing at least one game of every generation anyway Well, besides the newest one ofc, but I'm sure it will happen eventually haha

Job mode you mean? Of course, I'm the same. I think everyone behaves differently at work, to some extent. But still, if you're totally awkward with other people or just can't handle social interactions then this job isn't for you, no matter how much you try xD
And ofc it will be fine, I'm not the least bit worried about that Looking forward to your weird faces :3

You can do it, think about being able to catch wooloo's the most fantastic pokemon in history. But I get it. Sometimes you just really need to sit down for it and have a bit of extra time - and who has that really.

Yes! I do agree with that, I mean some jobs just are impossible if you lack social skills. Just feels easier sometimes at work to be all out there haha.
It's going to be fun yes ~ :nod

I'm sure of it

Not much to add, but I'll inform you once I've acquired my first Wooloo :3 It's pretty much as you said, I'll probably play it somewhere down the line haha :XD

And agreed on both. I think it's sort of mandatory to be friendly and calm when working, as long as you get treated the same way. Even if you're not a fan of someone, you gotta be professional enough to not let it show (again, as long as you're treated the same in return).
Of course it's easier said than done, and it's a fine balance for sure, but maybe that's why I like Japanese customer service so much. They treat you incredibly well and respectfully, and I wish some of the grumpy Germans here could learn a lesson from that :lmao

Thank you, I appreciate that. We shall celebrate that day.

I agree with you so much. You can get so much more understanding from a mad or frustated customer/boss/coworker/whatever at your job when you at least try to stay professional (and hear them out. Some people just like to be heard sometimes).
Would love to see that someday - Seems like the Japanese tend to be so polite in general and I respect that so much.
Could learn a lot from that here in NL too. The other day I had to call a company for a customer (as she kept receiving the wrong information from them, even though she called like 3 times already). The lady on the phone was so overly sweet but she ignored my comment of "please check the information first before giving it to customers, makes everyone a lot happier" and hung up on me. Was a bit eeehh.
(Did end up getting the correct information before that though, thankfully)

lol sounds sort of rude, yeah. But at least she didn't cause you any further trouble... :XD

And with the Japanese you have some really funny moments, things you could never imagine over here. Like, we wanted to board a train during rush hour. So basically, that train was full of businessmen coming back from work. And it was FULL alright... tried to look for a free spot, but no luck. Then a japanese lady came over to us and explained in broken english that the train is full, and that she is very sorry for the inconvenience, but recommends to try going by foot or car bc finding a train with space would be very difficult (she struggled with that explanation for a minute I think haha).

Ofc it was alright with us, but she apologized again. We slowly walked away and she bowed and was like "I'm sorry, thank you. Thank you". Was sorta hilarious, but also really sweet haha. Makes you feel like they genuinely care for your well-being. In a similar case over here no one would even shrug their shoulders :lmao

Anyway Marmy, saw this and thought it was just the thing for you:

Ah really! Well at least they did really try to tell you - must have been awkward for them as well to attempt English haha. Love the effort though, that's not something you see everywhere (tbh, hardly anywhere).

Also, thank you for the timeline!! I definitely still have questions (as I've finished the first route just yet) - so I'm wondering what the others will fill in for me haha. (You will get a full on review in your thread tomorrowish, not today bc I'm braindead again

)

Anyway, watched the new Pokemon short finally. Didn't like it as much as the previous ones, but it's kind of wholesome still. Poor miss assistant xD

Yeah, the effort is what counts for me. When you see someone genuinely trying, it's okay even if they don't do so well lol. And the Japanese are always trying hard, that I can tell you :XD

And I never got a review, but I guess you you sumed it up for me on slack

There's definitely a real lot of questions left, but I think UBW and especially HF will tell you everything. After that, you're almost free to read/watch whatever you want (from Fate) :3

I agree the Pokemon short wasn't as good as the previous ones, but still good to see some insight into minor characters. Also really liked how much was going on at the streets, the team behind this really has a lot of creativity.
Ofc I'll tell you more once I've watched the last episode :nod

oh btw, I watched the new short and it was really wholesome :zomg

Loved how the ghost pokemon tried to protect the trainer from the kid haha :XD

And how it went full circle in the end with the letter.

A shame the next episode is going to be the last

Yeah, absolutely! A good yuri story with maybe some supernatural hints and gorgeous art? Sounds like a dream

(Okay I'll reply in your thread later today, I promise <3)

Ah, you never did get the review no

Kind of feels weird though as I'm already discovering new things in UBW and that makes my opinion keep flipflopping.
In general it does feel that UBW is a better story, less worldbuilding and more about the masters and servants in general. I really like wordbuilding, but it did make the fate storyline feel very slow, as if there wasn't a lot of action. Don't really have that with UBW, so much more going on haha.

Yes, the newest Pokemon short was pretty nice! Loved how the friendship between the two young boys was portrayed, was very sweet. (Also that ghost trainer is just awesome. Needs a hug though)

Oohhh that sounds really good! :zomg

Think I should try that myself one day, nice treat (And doesn't take as long as actually making rendang I'm assuming

)
