Animal Crossing Wild World! I like New Horizons a lot too, but there’s just something about Wild World that’s cosy in a way no other game has been able to replicate for me

I see that .it domain 👀 siete italiani? Regardless it looks like a fantastic project, kudos! Especially interested in the static site hosting since right now I use an American service (Porkbun) for my own site, $30/year for 1 gb which is enough for me, but if I could switch to a European host for a similar price I totally would!

For me, what worked best has been smaller sites/communities! Specifically art/roleplay spaces (with the caveat these spaces also have a lot of drama and people who live for said drama) and virtual pet sites somehow lol. But I also feel like people online just aren’t as interested in talking or having actual conversations as much as they used to, so it’s less about looking in specific places and more about just… Getting lucky and finding someone on your same wavelength I suppose.

Gaming can be another way to meet people too. Can’t speak from experience there, but my brother was super involved in the Hearts of Iron IV modding community for years and made friends through it!

Well, nature is… What it is lol. Roman seagulls are built different man, wouldn’t be surprised if there’s traces of rat and pigeon in that

I saw them!! The Italian 24 hour news channel had a “chimney cam” next to the regular broadcast and I was way more invested in the seagull family than the smoke lol

I live in Rome so you’d think I’d see more asshole tourists but surprisingly I’ve never seen anyone being outright awful! Maybe all the crazies just go to Venice lol. The ones that irk me the most though, as someone who takes public transit, is people with 0 train/bus manners, stop trying to get on while other people are getting off!! Step the fuck out of the way oh my god some of us are trying to get to work!!

Immediately thought of Sonic Adventure 2 lol I’ve never met anyone who actually owned a pair (I don’t think they ever made it to Europe but I might be wrong)

I keep two windows side by side: the left one has my email, youtube and sometimes a comic I’m reading or audiobook; the right one has a browser virtual pet game I check every few hours and is where I open new tabs to check lemmy, imgur, etc. Pretty clean! But then the moment I work on either art or coding I open a third window that usually gets to 10+ tabs oops

My grandmother’s great uncle (so talking about the late 1800s) was killed by lightning while out on horseback during a storm. Pretty crazy odds huh?

For something spicier, around the end of Italy’s involvement in WWII Mussolini called his followers to move to the north of Italy. My aunt’s family were fascists (my aunt was a child at the time) and they were planning on going there too with this bus that was gathering fascists to move them all north. My aunt’s family had one massive trunk with all their belongings and it didn’t fit into the bus so they were forced to stay… Which was ultimately a good thing because that bus was stopped by the partisans who gunned everyone down before reaching Milan. So my aunt dodged a bullet, both figuratively and literally oof
