not planning.

I already know 3 languanges fluently and a tiny bit of french, another one would be a bit too much. I originally wanted to learn japanese or korean for a bit but realised it was wayyy tooo much effort

Acturial science, is not really a science and falls more into the sphere of economics and business :< I do physics as of right now tho

My Favourite vandal is champions, but I dont own it, so my most used is prelude to chaos
My Favourite phantom is Prism or Ruination, depending on the map. Recon is really nice tho
(I will be honest, i probably wont get into actuary due to the difficulty but im happy with anything buisness related like accounting, I do hope i get acturial tho)

i knew this was going to come up https://www.vlr.gg/68989/team-liquid-vs-gambit-esports-champions-tour-stage-1-emea-challengers-week-1/?game=70177&tab=overview

this game honestly revolutionised my game view on valorant. seeing someone using the wall to block people off tube and immediatly go into post plant, was like shocking. I didnt realise valorant could be played that way and made me play sage on icebox for like a good 2 years :sob:

Everyone is very chill on disorder, i like everyone there except this sam guy, he lowkey a bum.

fun fact: first time I was in VCC I saw zerphyr's name and I really wanted to sub into that team cause I recognised his name from VLR then I found out he was 10x me LOL.

But honestly you guys are life savers every time you sub and definitely a few of the best people ive met on valorant ever :>

They replaced their entire roster from 2024, except john who isnt igling and now have 3 rookies.

Kyu's igling is not that great but a decent player
Narrate looks really uncomfortable on his roles
John looks good
Reduxx is inconsistent but has hopes to do well
cort is a fine player

can afrikaans speakers understand dutch ?

#62
GambleNats
1
Frags

Never talked to a dutch person, but i know the languages are very similar, to the point where when im speaking afrikaans, people in australia think im speaking dutch.

I assume its like reading japanese as a chinese person, where you get the main idea of the context and understand some words but like most of it is not understandable

Did you face racism?

#81

0
Frags

Not really

there were small incidents, especially as a child, being excluded from like tag, saying I had small eyes, asking if my parents were strict, pointing the pinky finger at me (got me more confused, than offended xd)

but like its just what children do, as soon as i got to like grade 3 it was chill and no one has really been outwardly racist

whats it like moving to australia

#83
GambleNats
0
Frags

the 20 hour flight to travel kills you, but the experience is fine and living alone isnt that big of a deal. luckily the climate of australia is very similar to south african, so I adjusted just fine.

the school system is very different and that was a bit jarring at first

ahh ok mb, I moved here alone, but I dont like actually live alone, I live with my aunt and grandma, but we dont really interact. I just live in their house, I buy and cook all my food, manage my finances, study etc

damn do you have an afrikaans accent? why did you move to australia (both countries are lowk similar asf)? and i wanna visit south africa esp. cape town soon, what are the recommendations

#97
GambleNats
1
Frags
+
  1. no, I dont
    I do have an english south african accent that most people can recognise is different from the australian one

  2. I decided to move to australia because it is quite similar to south africa, especially climate wise. and there reason i wanted to move in the first place is that south africa just isnt the greatest country economically, nor does it get treatment from other countries like game servers, events etc etc

  3. If you visit cape town, the best places to go are

    • Table mountain/lions head if you like nature
    • The best shopping malls are like Canal Walk (I go there often for arcade), Waterfront (Decent Escape rooms there and cool preformers)
    • Lots of nice beaches there, if you havent been before
    • best part of south africa, is like the food, so try stuff there. especially milktarts and biltong
