This is my 666th forum post. I will now lay a curse.

yo, like, look at my wizards, my dudebrah, they could be cool or something iunno
I just got 500 blam points, only now it would take 29,500 save points, to get to the Sup.Commander rank. Again I thank any user whom has taken the time of their day and checked the portal's submissions accordingly. I didn't think that was possible for me, formerly from 323 points to 500 points!
This isn't exactly a standard achievement for this thread, but today I surpassed 180 average medal points per game. I set this as a goal about a month ago when I started going through some games I began but left unfinished. It turns out I left a lot of points behind. According to nglogs, on May 1st I had 15,552 medals worth 360,255 points from 2,098 games, which was 7.41 medals/game, 171.71 points/game, and 23.16 points/medal. I now have 16,269(nice) medals worth 383,315 points from 2,129 games, which is 7.64 medals/game, 180.04 points/game, and 23.56 points/medal. Notably, my points per medal stat rose dramatically along with my points per game and is at the highest it's ever been. This is likely because of how many difficult and highly valued medals I earned as a result of this challenge that I previously avoided or was unable to get.
For a more normal achievement, I also just passed 100 reviews a few days ago, 94 of which were for games.

Thanks for the compliment, in two months I will get the Sup.Commander rank, if I can vote and gain 40 (and over) points a day. That NG March event, really kicked in, for a chance to catch up.
Congrats on the medals per game (for the long effort) and getting up to 100 reviews.

Nice. Unfortunately if you plan to keep that stat high it seems you won't be able to play a large amount of smaller games out there... all the DeathTiger0 point and click puzzle games for example, with just one five point medal each.
Difficulty doesn't always seem synonymous with medal amount or points, but it probably is the norm! Congrats!

No worries, I'm almost just as late to respond though I did get that notification...
It's pseudonymous at the very least. And it's not hard to set up new wallets. It's why cybercriminals always want bitcoins.
It's also not known who exactly invented Bitcoin. The name "Satoshi Nakamoto" is a pseudonym as well. It's unclear who and how many are behind this.
That's true. For us honest account holders though...
I admit it's an interesting currency, veiled in intrigue and mystery, with plenty of potential, I just don't want cash to disappear. It's a convenient format for entirely anonymous trade without a need to rely on any third-party services. No technology, no connection, no ties that may potentially falter or be abused.
It's still very inconvenient to even get my hands on cash. The next ATM is very out of my way, so I have to plan to get the money. And I don't want to carry around thousands of Euros either. Plus, it's even more inconvenient when traveling to foreign countries that don't have the Euro. I have to exchange the money and in a store I need longer to count it because it looks unfamiliar m
You see how hard they're trying to get cash to disappear hmm? ;) Imposing all these restrictions, making it far more difficult to use or attain than it really needs to be...
And to make matters worse, since we got the Euro I haven't once been to a country that has the Euro as well...
I like cash, but I still think it's inconvenient. :)
Ah, well maybe we're of the same mindset after all. :) I do too, but I'll keep on using it as much as I can if only to preserve what social integrity we have left here!
So glad we didn't make that switch to Euro too... personally I like currencies that are tied to different locations and cultures too. Remember when people used to collect coins as souvenirs? Alas, not as fun now either...
At least my norwegian course started again. It's been the furthest I have been from home in months.
A course that takes place at an actual establishment of education then, not via computer...?
Things are definitely opening up now, I just hope they don't have to close everything just as quickly when the spread picks up... speaking of, the airline Norwegian just started flying again too. :) Seems the last flight I had that hadn't yet been cancelled won't be cancelled after all!

Yeah, I don't like Bitcoin that much either. Also, it's not really environment friendly.

The worst of all, if I withdraw cash from "not my bank" I have to pay a fee. What the hell?
However, the ATM being not close to me... Well, I moved from Hamburg to a very small town. There's no bank here because it doesn't make sense to have one here. I would be surprised if this town has more than 900 inhabitants.
So glad we didn't make that switch to Euro too... personally I like currencies that are tied to different locations and cultures too. Remember when people used to collect coins as souvenirs? Alas, not as fun now either...
But the money still looks different? Finland even issued 1 and 2 cent coins even though they don't use them.
Plus, having one currency faces the trouble of having to do calculations in your head. "65 kroner, how much is this in my currency again...?"

Yes, it's a "Volkshochschulkurs" (compound words, yay!). And learning a language has much to do with speaking, so the teacher can correct mistakes. I'm also kind of glad I'm not learning swedish (sorry ;) ), but I don't think I will ever be able to distinguish all those "sj" sounds, haha.

That too!
O

Yeah that's another thing. A few years ago there was no shortage of cards with free withdrawal, but now, suddenly it's harder than ever to find one. My old card expired and I had to start looking for an alternative, and found there were basically only two banks (out of the 20-30 I researched) which didn't have a ATM fee nor a card/account fee. Everyone else either had one or the other. Free card but they don't let you use it for free unless it's specifically for card payments/online payments, or a debit card without restrictions, yet you pay a yearly fee to use it.
Finding a card that doesn't add a margin to the default currency exchange rate's no easy task either. In the end I have 3-4 different ones for different purposes, for travel, for ATM, for regular playments.
Fortunately alternatives like The Cash App and N26 seem to be making it a bit harder for banks to compete with unnecessary restrictions, just hope the game-changers don't eventually grow to the point they start imposing the same restrictions.
However, the ATM being not close to me... Well, I moved from Hamburg to a very small town. There's no bank here because it doesn't make sense to have one here. I would be surprised if this town has more than 900 inhabitants.
Ah, well in that case it makes sense. Back in the day though, even the smallest towns had their own... as a kid I remember going to the post office to make a deposit. Every town with at least a couple hundred inhabitants seemed to have one.
But the money still looks different? Finland even issued 1 and 2 cent coins even though they don't use them.
Yet you can pay with Finnish cents in Latvia, and maybe you'll get some from Spain in change? ;) The global order of things reduces the appeal I feel. A souvenir needs to be truly tied to a particular location to have any personal value. Collecting items isn't as fun if there's not a certain challenge to it either.
Plus, having one currency faces the trouble of having to do calculations in your head. "65 kroner, how much is this in my currency again...?"
That's true, but if it's a battle of comfortability verses individuality I'd definitely go with the latter. I'm not a great fan of the 'anything that makes life easier makes life better' approach. Too leisurely a lifestyle and you lose your competence, and confidence, and sense of accomplishment when you do something worthwhile.
May seem like cash is a trivial aspect of it all but still... I don't mind those extra calculations. It's one of those small challenges that actually make travel fun IMO. :)

Haha yeah I remember those discussions earlier. :D Those additional challenges just add to the sense of accomplishment if you do learn it though *hint hint*
Anyway that's cool to hear, and that studies are possible even with their more traditional form right now. You definitely do learn a bit easier with real interaction.

Luckiyl I can get by with two cards. One from my regular bank and one for my savings book. I can use that one to withdraw cash abroad wihtout additonal costs a few times a year.

This town was mostly farms a few decades ago. We don't have a post office either (but the next one is only 2km away, so there's that). But we do have a McDonald's, because the Autobahn is close by, lol.

Yeah, but you can't really do anything with the coins, except for collecting them. If that's you thing, great. But for me it's another inconvenience to stack up on piles of money that I can't use. ;P

Ah, that's quite the difference. That said the majority of the population here is also centered around Stockholm, a tenth of the people in an area equivelent to maybe a hundredth or less of the total landmass, so in the countryside the density is even less. But maybe the number above gives an accurate comparison after all if it's the same way in most countries, everyone gathering in the main cities...
I am. ;)

Apart from digital numbers? ;)
Honestly I suppose I'm not much of a coin collector either. I just usually save a few each time I've been somewhere exotic and return with a little spare change. An otherwise inconvenient monetary surplus becomes a set of simple souvenirs just like that. :) I do collect a bit too much of too many different things though.

I think in Germany it's very evenly distributed. Of course there are "hotspots" like Berlin (3 million), Hamburg (1.5 million), Munich (1 million) and of course the Ruhr Area (5 million). But there really isn't an area like the Finnmark, where you can drive for an hour and never even see another car, let alone some small town.

I guess the most famous is "Fischers Fritz fischt frische Fische, frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritz", it's a guy (maybe the son "Fritz" of a guy named "Fischer") who fishes fresh fish.
Another good one is "Brautkleid bleibt Brautkleid und Blaukraut bleibt Blaukraut" (Wedding dress remains wedding dress and red cabbage remains red cabbage).
Not a tounge twister per sé, but still funny: "Tschechisches Streichholzschächtelchen" (little match box from the Czech Republic). Basically it's a sort of shibboleth: if you are not a native speaker, you will have great problems pronouncing it correctly.
And if you are from the Ruhr Area, you most likely will speak 8 "sh" sounds, instead of only 4 (note that "st" and "sp" are pronounced like "sht" and "shp" in high german, with only a few exceptions).

Sounds population-wise pretty dense then! :O I'm trying to picture how many people per square km there might be further up North here... in a lot of areas it's probably not more than 1-2/km at most.

Nice. Seems you really chose the most difficult ones too, Googling around ones like 'Zehn zahme Ziegen ziehen zehn Zentner Zucker zum Zoo' are so much more beginner-level. ;)
I'm probably pronouncing these way off at the moment, seem to adopt a Russian accent with the second one for some reason, and the other two will probably take a while to master...
Interesting how similar to English the "Fisher Fritz fishes fresh fish one is too. Could be an international tongue-twister. Extended Swedish alternation: Fiskare Fritz fiskar färsk fisk, fräsh fisk fiskar färskfiskfiskare Fritz.

Btw 'Fischer' wouldn't be just 'fisher'? Name implied only because of capitalization? Though why is Fische also capitalized?
