Sporadic Update

- Diablo 3. Box requirements claims it runs on my Mac. It won't in any playable sense, since I can't kill anything at 8 frames per second, and this is after turning it to below screen resolution and everything graphical turned off. I'm going to go off and do something else instead of angsting, but I'm pissed that Blizzard essentially lied to me

Me answering to #14 would be cheating. :D

[synekdokee]

Is it cheating any more than an American recognising Johnny Cash?

[skiriki]

Yea but I'm the one who sent that song to her. ;)

[synekdokee]

Hahaha ahh, fair enough :P

Re: #14, do people actually say Finnish looks like German? That's like saying Norwegian and Gaelic look alike, except that kinda makes more sense since they are related... But you get what I mean.

The song in question is, of course, Rakkauden Haudalla by Juice Leskinen. Or more recently by Jonna Tervomaa, I suppose, I don't know which version you have.

[chn_breathmint]

Yup, Skiriki sent me the Jonna Tervomaa version. It's also the song that taught me how "y" is pronounced in Finnish because that can be a handful for other language speakers.

PS: This is America. People think that anything that isn't in English looks alike.

PPS: To phrase it more accurately, after this semester spent applying for Study Abroad in Finland I've met a bunch of morons who probably will get their asses kicked in their exchange countries, including a moron who told me he was GOING TO CHINA like I should be impressed because I look Chinese so at this point I'm just vaguely annoyed with and disappointed in my peers.

[synekdokee]

Oh I never thought of the Y pronunciation thing. I've come to realise that the hard R thing is difficult for most foreigners though.

told me he was GOING TO CHINA like I should be impressed because I look Chinese

*headdesk* Oh my god what. It's people like that who make me happy I don't look Asian. I get enough stupidity from Asia-fetishists who flip their shit when they hear I'm half-Asian, even if I was born here and identify strictly with Finnish cultural identity -_-

[chn_breathmint]

Yeah. I'm ethnically Chinese, definitely, but not all Chinese people are from China, and besides China is huge, so someone from China may not actually care where he's going because they aren't from that region. >.<

So mostly I was just really tired of everyone assuming just because I look Asian I'm automatically from China.
