Hello, I know I'm late to this trend but I just died in mafia and I need a new purpose in life. Please help me feel something again.
 
who killed u 🕵️‍♂️ 😤
(jk don't tell me, that would break the rules, this is a joke, ignore me)
 
1. How did you enjoy your time playing mafia?
2. Will you play again?
Sorry for the mafia questions,, I’ve been spectating the whole game!
3. Do you have any hobbies outside of gaming?
4. Do you prefer cold or hot drinks?
 
First Animal Crossing game?

That would be New Horizons! My parents never got me consoles growing up, so I never got to try the older games, but Animal Crossing always sounded like something I would enjoy (the slow pace, the cute villagers). Now that I’m an a d u l t, I bought myself a Switch to give New Horizons a try and fell in love!

Lol, I’m definitely still lurking and having fun watching the chaos unfold. Good luck!

1) So much fun! I really enjoy lying/social deduction games like Resistance and Coup, so Mafia is right up my alley! I also liked getting to know new people here on the forums.
2) Yes, definitely! Next time I won’t be quite so honest, so I don’t get targeted. You live and you learn. Glad you’re enjoying spectating though!
3) I used to practice yoga quite regularly, but my studio is closed due to the pandemic. I’m also a foodie and loved going out and trying new places, but that hobby is also on pause. These days I just stay in and curl up with my cat and a good book.
4) I prefer hot drinks! I get cold easily, so I’ll usually make a tea to warm myself up.

What's your favourite kind of tea?
Favourite AC Villager?

1) I like jasmine or milk oolong tea!
2) Probably Dotty, she is my oldest villager so I’m attached. She just has so much personality and her eyes go red when she’s shocked or excited lol. Some other faves: Melba, Lily, Lolly, Diana, Deirdre, Etoile
3) I only play Animal Crossing right now, but I heard Genshin Impact may be coming out on Switch so I’ll probably start that up again (I tried playing on PC but it makes my laptop overheat).
4) I wasn’t expecting that at all, I have terrible luck with giveaways! I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it, maybe spend it in the museum. I’m also eyeing a Ruby collectible but I’ll probably wait for Peach Jam to get hers first since she’s been looking for a while.
 
you said you're vietnamese in the 2000tbt giveaway thread so naturally, i must ask:
  1. do you have a favourite type of banh mi?
  2. opinion on durian?
  3. opinion on che dau trang?
i just ate so i only have food on my mind right now im sorry

1) Any time I order Banh Mi, I just go with the standard/classic for that particular place. I figure it's their bestseller for a reason!
2) I can't durian.
3) I like red bean dessert better (che dau do). Super impressed with your knowledge of Viet cuisine though!
 
Were you around in the 90s?
If so, what would you say the kids today wouldn’t believe was a thing?

i respect your che dau do preference.

more questions regarding durian, if you don't mind! because ive never gotten the chance to ask someone directly -- i grew up with and like durian so im like.. hm.
1. did you grow up with durian around you? (like your family having it -- or does your family not like it either?)
2. is it the smell or taste that you can't (or both)

(my parents grew up in vietnam (but are chinese) so i grew up with a lot of viet food!)
i cant speak it though rip

also non-food related question:
3. what type of aesthetic do you have/like (both in terms of general preference, and also in terms of clothing choices)?

Yes, I was! I think the kids today would be surprised to learn we used to check out library books by writing our names on a little slip that goes in a sleeve on the back of the book (if you know, you know). Seems pretty archaic compared to the technology we have today.

Oh interesting, so I learned something about you too! Hopping over to your thread to investigate further!

1) Yes, I grew up around durian, my parents enjoy it.
2) It’s the smell I can’t. I’ve gotten accustomed to a lot of things I didn’t like as a kid (like how fish sauce and bamboo smell bad but taste good), but durian I just can’t let anywhere near my mouth.
3) I'll link my post in the show me your aesthetic thread. To expand on that, I also really like fairy and celestial themes. Clothing is alot of blush and neutral tones, as I just find it's easy to match. I do like fun pops of colour though, and am partial to mints/teals in those cases.

That, I definitely remember doing. Good times. It’s also funny to me because I used to work at a school’s library during and after high school and with their system I had to use a scanner.

ooh... i think you'd be the first i've met that grew up around durian and can't handle it. interesting!! the smell has never been too strong to me but i can slightly guess what it is (ive heard people mention that they can smell it even from rooms away and im like.. woah?? its that strong??)

i feel the bamboo smell thing. i can only sometimes handle bamboo, and it took some getting used to. fish sauce is fine though!

your aesthetic is pretty! so soft and chill!

more questions!
1. do you have a favourite food?
2. what's your favourite vietnamese dish? (if it's different from 1, anyways -- if it's not, what's your favourite non-vietnamese dish?)
3. have you ever travelled before, or do you have places you want to travel to?
 
All this durian talk is reminding me of those cat vs durian videos.


I think it's so funny when they try to bury it.

1) I'm a foodie, so this is hard. I really cannot narrow it down between sushi and pasta!
2) Bun bo hue! I'll admit, I do love pho alot, but lately I've been appreciating the depth that comes from a spicy broth.
3) I travelled alot as a student. My dad was like... wtf are you doing, you don't have any money. But I'm really grateful that I did because look at the situation we're in now lol. Outside of Canada, I've been to Greece, Italy, Prague (which is how I knew about the clock), Vienna, Budapest, Japan, and New Orleans. I'd still like to visit Vietnam (never been), Bali, Barcelona, and Machu Picchu.

i think travelling when you're a student (or right after you finish) is probably best if you're able to! not as many serious responsibilities to worry about. thats so many places though -- it sounds amazing!

1. what was the most memorable experience you had when travelling?
2. what languages do you speak? did you ever feel affected by language barriers when travelling?
3. did you ever experience any sort of culture shock during your travels?

1) Italy stands out as my most memorable travelling experience. In the last year of our program, we had to pick from a list of elective courses. All the other courses sounded... hard lol. Me and like 11 of my friends chose the fluffy course abroad in Italy called "global perspectives on health" or something LMAO (it was basically a 5 week vacation). We stayed in a hostel and walked along the beach to class and had dinner together as a family every night. And once we got into a routine, it actually felt like we were living there. Now that I'm an adult, I see that as such a special experience because it's so hard to all get time off at the same time and travel in a big group like that. I'll probably never have an experience like that again.

2) I can somewhat understand Viet (like when my parents talk I can understand perfectly, but TV shows use vocabulary I've never had to learn). I can even less than somewhat speak Viet (like very basic grammar, probably only things I would need to say around the house). I cannot read or write at all. Apparently I was really fluent as a kid but then lost it when I went to school, I really wish I'd tried harder to retain it.

3) This kind of ties back to part of question two. Since the places we were going to were "touristy", I didn't anticipate language barriers to be that much of a problem, but we did struggle a few times. I also learned that for alot of places in Europe, only the tourist areas reflect what they look like in pictures, and the rest of the city is actually quite run down. And lastly, THE DRIVING. I was pretty upset the first day in Italy when our driver was appallingly reckless. I did not feel safe at all, and said something along the lines of "This is illegal". And my friend said, "If they have different traffic laws here, then it's not illegal." Culture shock.

the italy experience sounds amazing! honestly travelling with a group of friends is the best -- its the main reason why i travel. things just become so much more comfortable

also i feel you on losing language thing! i apparently used to be extremely fluent in teochewnese but i lost it. now i only know how to say simple things including "i dont know" --that one gets used a lot

regarding the driving -- if you ever go to vietnam be prepared for the insanity that is crossing the roads. its... such a shock because its a never-ending stream of motorbikes and you sort of just have to walk straight through it. the drivers are used to this and adjust around you, but you have to be consistent in waking and not surprise them -- i almost stopped a few times out of habit but my friend kept dragging me along

im sorry im like dominating your thread GKLFJDLGKJ its just fun and shared experiences are nice and im having fun reading about your experiences

1. what did you study in school?
2. now that we've finished the game of mafia: did you like being town-sided? do you think you'd have preferred being mafia?
3. how do you feel now that the game has ended?

I've HEARD about the infamous traffic in Vietnam, it honestly sounds like a trust exercise.

It's okay lol, I'm having fun too. <3

1) I studied pharmacy!
2) I did enjoy being town. I hate games that rely on luck, winning doesn't feel satisfying at all. I much prefer games where I have to use my brain, both town and mafia require brain power in different ways, so I think I would genuinely enjoy both. Although-- lying does stress me out ALOT, but I think I could do it in a forum setting.
3) Do you mean how did I feel when the game ended for me, AKA when you had me killed off? Jkjkjkjk. I feel quite satisfied, I'm glad the town won, especially after they invested so much time and energy that last day.

oooh! get that hella pharmacy money 👀
lying on a forum setting is definitely easier than lying in realtime. more time to think it through-- but still hard!

s..sweats nervously

I feel quite satisfied, I'm glad the town won, especially after they invested so much time and energy that last day.
honestly, yeah! they worked so hard though i was rooting for emolga it was like... impossible

1. do you like pharmacy? how did you end up studying it?
2. if you had to pick another field, what would it be?
3. you mentioned playing maplestory: did you play any other MMOs/games?
