@drzero: hi welcome to voltra ^^
i think there are a lot of artists / people who are into art here,
it's been nice to get back into it for me and to have lots of people to talk to about it :3

@genuine fake: hi welcome to voltra! :-)
if you're looking for places to chat you can pretty much drop into any of the hangout threads whenever ~ and if people are online they'll be happy to respond, everyone here has been very friendly so far ^^
and there is an rp forum! 'role playing' - it's the third one under 'activities'

ahh i missed so much ^^
this was a really interesting conversation to read

@dragoness129: aww tysm!! <3
you have such a lovely avi too, i really want a necromancer for the skull mask!
you're rockin it

@totalanimefan: i'm totally for affordable housing too! it's cool to hear you all tried to get involved on the local level
it is really ridiculous how expensive housing is in the bay
if you like public transit stuff, there was this cool study that shows that japan's rail system is really efficient using slime mold!

also wow you've really been here from the start of voltra huh! how did you hear about it so early?
i haven't been to an event yet but i was looking through the archives and they look so good,
i'm really looking forward to being a part of the next one :-)

@chiffonorange: i hope you and bicycles get along again some day ~
yes some cities in the us are really expensive!
i think the bay area (where total is) and nyc are both some of the most expensive cities for housing
in nyc 1br apartments would sell for >1million dollars if you are trying to buy
i think in general young people in the us have accepted home ownership is unlikely
i will say there area many parts of the us that are more rural and way cheaper though!
but i think in general wages haven't really gone up w/ the cost of inflation and the rise of housing costs

@totalanimefan: how long have you been on voltra? ^^ curious if you've noticed any changes over the years ~

and those all look really fun - are they all rpg's?

i've eaten so many eggs these past few months lol, so many ...
and also a lot of chickpeas and beans
i've been doing like black bean tacos, chili, i made some hummus near the beginning and would have it w apples or w bread
sometimes i'll do a runny egg over rice + kimchi if i don't feel like thinking haha

@chiffonorange: ooh is it expensive everywhere? are you in a major city? (i don't know too much about your cities )
also i'm curious but is there tension between singapore and malaysia? like can you go b/n the two pretty easily or like how is the situation perceived culturally?

aw i see, yeah that's tough to have your family be dismissive of what you're feeling. there's still a lot of misunderstanding and stigma when it comes to mental health, i'm sorry you're family isn't being very supportive. i hope you're doing ok ~

ahh yeah it makes me feel like i have less control over my identity on the internet, like i use a photo with my email and i don't want to use my photo and real name for youtube. but so much is on youtube that i'm still going to use it :-/ i could try using a different account, i'm not sure if they make that easy or not, but also my subscriptions/algorithm recommendations would have to reset which is still a hassle

@chiffonorange: ooh i see. i don't think that's weird, plenty of people live with family for various reasons
lots of young people in the states can't afford to move out, and i know in other cultures it's considered the norm to live with family unless you have a reason to otherwise
are you close to them? (no pressure if this is a personal topic for you)

and yeah i can see that, i think the community here is pretty wholesome and relaxing ^^
the forums can be a little slow at times but i think it can be a good thing too - it's not overwhelming and you can post at your own pace

i think youtube started tying your comments to your email as a way to like, address toxic comments and online harassment (since they're tied to you and not just like, an anonymous username)
i really don't like having my identity tied to the youtube comments i make and my youtube account lol but i can see what they were trying to do with that approach
