The Dutch word for 'potato' is 'aardappel' which translates literally as "earth apple"

They're just not the same for me, unfortunately. They have a place, but I prefer reading.

I just wanted to be able to read a book without (possibly) straining my neck :(

What a weird thing to say.

There have actually been three popes from Africa! Though the last one was pope from 492 to 496. Not 1492... 492.

I totally agree with you though, I just had to "uh actually' a little because I think it's interesting.

Playing D&D

Playing with randoms is a huge mixed bag for me. I live in the Netherlands and frequently get paired with fellow Americans, but there's also plenty of people speaking French, German, Italian, Turkish.. plenty of people that just can't communicate at all.

I once joined a team of three French dudes who I was just barely able to understand their strategy for bot defense missions: wear the armor with explosion damage resistance and call in a 380 and walking artillery barrage on yourself. If possible, run to one of the little pillars and lay down on top of them (bringing a jetpack helps with this).

I haven't done a bot defense differently since.

Maybe we need to encourage something like Deep Rock Galactic's player base does: type 'r' in chat to ask if everybody is ready. It'd be awesome if it was added to the menuwheel of things you can yell while on a dive.

If I'm always THE smartest then who can I ever ask for help if I need it?
