hello sorry ! it's been hard to reply with ... everything going on this week
it's been hard in general, there's just been so much
how are people doing?
@junko7: woah the art is very pretty!
the forums move pretty quickly there right?
i feel like it seems fun but potentially overwhelming!
@totalanimefan: aw :-( do you video chat with any of your friends?
yeah i've been trying to think about what the best case scenario could be for 2020 at this point
:vichardxC: unclear...
oof do any of you watch black mirror ?
it's like someone got bored of the pandemic episode and skipped to the next one
we're in a black mirror jumanji smoothie

@totalanimefan: it's been a rough week
i took a sick day today ...
that's good
it's wild that a pandemic is not the biggest thing happening right now ...
how about you?

@totalanimefan: oh i see, that's ok haha
you seem a lot more hopeful than i do
that's true, i hope there will be a lot of change happening this year
it could be an opportunity to build new structures that actually bring power to the people and support Black lives
i've been doing what i can to help out, but it's still good to take breaks / disengage as needed
sustainability is important !
i've been logging off social media and deleting the apps from my phone, i check maybe once a day
how have you been taking care of yourself lately?

@totalanimefan: yeah i can definitely see that -- it's interesting how covid lead right up to this and how it must have played a factor in the way things are playing out currently. and that's good to donate if you can! i have been too
yeah having community support helps a lot for sure, so have hobbies. i've been playing music/piano and drawing lately and it's helped a lot. and watching she-ra lol i've been binging it all week and it's been a helpful emotional release. and i guess making food though i'm starting to repeat recipes :p
have you been making anything good lately? i could use some inspiration on the cooking/baking front!
and aww thank u ^^ i think you are friendly and open to chatting, like your signature suggests
@chiffonorange: hey chiffon! it's been ok
this past week has been a lot but i was about to dedicate time today to rest/recharge
how are you?

@chiffonorange: it'll be good to get out of the house and have some fresh air
is it getting hot where you are?
it's starting to get hot and humid where i am, i have the fan on currently

@xvz: Mmhmm. *nods* It always has been this hot since I live in a Southeast Asian country as it has no seasons, just the usual humid weather and sometimes unexpected rain lol

@chiffonorange: ooh i didn't know that about you, i was wondering where you would be with your time zone haha
may i ask which country? (no pressure if you don't want to say)
do you like the climate you're in? is dry vs. wet season a thing?
@totalanimefan: oh fun, what have you been playing?
those all sound really good! i might make chicken noodle soup sometime
i try to change it up but lately i feel like i have no brainpower for deciding what to make, so i've started to repeat recipes a little
i've been making brownies and cookies too hehe
i've also been eating vegetarian a lot lately, since meat doesn't really keep unless you're freezing it
it wasn't really a conscious decision but it does feel easier for cooking since it takes longer for my ingredients to go bad
aww that's so sweet ^^ i can definitely see that, joining a conversation when you're new to the community can feel nerve-wracking, and people can still have social anxiety even though it's over forums. it can take time to settle into the community, and even then it can still feel hard to jump in

@xvz: That's alright xD I live in Malaysia and that's a hard one, there are times I do appreciate it and don't appreciate the hot weather sometimes lol. And yes, though it's more of a dry or wet season rather than vs. :o
Also mind if I say something about the joining a conversation part? No worries if you don't want me to talk about.

@chiffonorange: ooh i see, i had a friend from school who is from malaysia. do you speak malay?
do you have a preference between dry and wet season?
and feel free to ^^
i think something that's a little hard about voltra is that you have to tag someone directly for them to get notified
i feel like anyone can respond to anything i say, but since i tag someone it makes it harder for people to join if they weren't the one tagged
(if that makes sense)

@xvz: Yes although I speak...well, kinda bad tbh lol and I speak three languages (Mandarin, Malay and English (if it counts haha) and rarely speak Cantonese except with very few words, hmmm... Not a fan of dry season but I do like wet season a bit as it can be pretty cold (hence why I like cold weather (autumn counts too even though I never experienced it in my whole life ._.; )
And alright then. True *nods*, Pinging them is the best way to get their attention unless they're afk or did read your reply but haven't think of better words to reply back. :o And yeah, especially if they don't seem to be interested in joining in to chat with. Sometimes I do get anxious about talking to new people or people in general unless it's someone close to me.

@chiffonorange: oh cool, that is a lot of languages to be fluent in!
my impression is that these are all common languages in malaysia?
haha what's your definition of cold / how cold does it get?
autumn is nice, i like how it's brisk and breezy but it's so short, it goes so quickly from too hot to too cold
yeah that makes sense, it's not always easy to know what to say, especially if you're trying to join a conversation or don't know people well yet

@xvz: Yep, hmmm..... I would say they're pretty common depending on which city you're in. And a windy weather would be fine lol, sorry if I didn't explained it very clearly.
and I see, that sounds comfy and I thought autumn is colder than summer and spring haha my bad for not doing researching perfectly.
*nods* True, true. Even when you try talk about interests (like roleplaying, drawing, watching TV and stuff) just to get to know about them, some of them tried to (or just straight out) troll you or being acting creepy by asking what you're wearing or send them a picture or something that most people wouldn't want to ask those kinds of things whether in RL or internet.
Sorry if I talked nonsense about it.

@chiffonorange: ah i see, have you grown up there your whole life?
you don't have to apologize ~
autumn is colder than summer and usually colder than spring!
i wasn't sure if cold weather for you meant the same thing as like, snow
or if you meant like, breezy / cool
that sounds awful, i'm sorry those have been your experiences :-(
hopefully not on voltra ?

@xvz: Yes. :o and I see and also my bad for not explaining the cold weather part clearly to you. I should've said windy weather earlier minutes ago Dx aaaahh
Yeah it is, and I hope I would never encounter those things again and it's not on Voltra since people are genuinely nice here unlike some other forum site (*coughs* Gaia *coughs*).

@chiffonorange: it's ok haha you don't have to stress over it
is all your family there too?
ah yeah i think part of it is like - if the community is so big that your actions don't have consequences (on other sites)
something else i wonder too is i feel like voltra has (maybe) a slightly older crowd, like 20-30s?
so like the community is slightly more mature and community-minded
