A staff lady in the Athens airport has just addressed me in Russian when she saw my passport. In an absolutely friendly way. I stupidly kept answering her in English while trying not to burst into tears.❤️

@Loukas Those who cry about “russophobia” just need to stop behaving like pigs. I haven’t seen anything but kindness from ordinary folks yet.

@Loukas Hahaha!!! Just yesterday my Ukrainian friend now living in the UK (meeting her today) mentioned Brits moaning about long border control queues after Brexit.🤣 Who would have thought xenophobia had downsides…

@Loukas Being friends with neighbours… if Russia ever manages this, I will come home.

@Loukas From your lips to the UK border’s ears - the officer was super kind, expecially when he realised I was an emigrant.❤️

Good advice.

@Lizette603_23 I talk to my cats in normal voice. To children, too. I remember how some adults (thankfully not my family) spoke to me in weird voices and went all fuzzy-wuzzy when I was a child - this always disgusted and terrified me. And apparently it’s not just me - oddly enough, both animals and children seem to like me, even though I’m 200% clueless with children.:)

@Lizette603_23 Never apologise for jokes! My reply was sort of light-hearted too - probably best illustrated by the face of Kevin from Home Alone…

Oh dear. Hello, another gaming rabbit hole. I am on my second playthrough of #BaldursGate3 and I smell two more at the very least, one of them as a bard. Never thought I’d ever, ever play a bard, but those chatterbox skills…

@Loukas I play a weird charismatic paladin now and she is more fun than I expected. Kills everything. But her class specific dialogue options give me toothache.

@Loukas I remember the line, but to whom it belongs... Auntie Ethel?

@Loukas It was her who made me like my paladin. Cracked her ugly head in 2 turns or so, with a little help from Karlach. That fight was a nightmare on my first playthrough.

@nemelle@mastodon.social avatar

@Loukas Exactly. Okay, I suck at DnD and all, but damaging spells feel much less effective than a good smack on the head.

We were told she looked very young at the vet lab yesterday. She took the compliment and was at her best behaviour.

Shameful confession. I have never finished an RPG without checking a walkthrough. You know why? When I was young and played Fallout 2 for the first time, I accidentally let my whole party die. After that my character died too (suicide). Never again.

@Loukas I dropped Disco Elysium because the guy decided to die on me early in the game and I never managed to save his sorry ass and continue. But I might get back to it one day.

I wish I had something to say aside from “I’m tired”.

The Kremlin “has nothing to say to Navalny’s family” on the day of his funeral.

Meanwhile there is a kilometre long line of mourners around the church now. Jealous much, Kremlin? Jealous of a dead man? Yes. Because no one will come to their funeral for free.

Rage. Tears. I can’t breathe.

Well, let’s lighten the mood a bit. Behold, macrocat on her new throne

In other news, I spent the weekend leveling my chain lightning sorceress in #Diablo4 (I find videogames rather soothing when I’m depressed, especially Diablo that just keeps me busy). Funny how people on Blizzard forums keep complaining that the game is too grindy - especially when they praise grindy and rather boring Diablo 3 at the same time. Hello, it is Diablo, it has always been grindy…

@jake4480 Some people bitch for the sake of bitching. Traps though… I hate traps.
