  • Uh… fires? In italy’s houses? Rarely. Our houses are mostly build in concrete, bricks and other non-flammable materials (the old ones are build in stone). So it’s rare to see a fire here.

    And yes, we do have windows:

    If you live in the ground floor, most of them have bars, usually on steel (but sometimes in stone/concrete if the house is really old).

    If you don’t live in the ground floor, we don’t have bars, but the shutters are made of very resistant material so they are not easy to break. Also, windows are usually with double glass (to insulate the house better). They’d have a hard time breaking in a house here.

    If a fire happens, you usually enter through a window (the shutters are not usually down) or simply ask a neighbor for a key.

    However, if someone here wants to rob a house, they’ll try drilling a hole in the wall to enter because they know is the fastest way compared to the rest.



  • My experience with Animal Crossing started on the DS with Wild World, as I’m sure it did with many others. The game drew me in with its colorful villagers, daily routine, and slice-of-life feel. Years later I got back into the series with New Leaf on the 3DS, putting hundreds of hours into it. The progression system felt just right, and the level of customization for my villager was a real treat. However, when I finally got a hold of New Horizons on my switch, I couldn’t help but feel let down. Rather than a town that felt like it moved on when I didn’t play, I felt like I was in total control. Villagers would have to beg me to let them move out, rather than just leaving on their own. Everything felt a bit too… Doll-house in its design?

    Are you me? No, wait, I started with the gamecube game back in the day, but for the rest… are you me?

    I got new horizons expecting it to be just a better new leaf and it was a huge let down. I spent hundreds of hours in new leaf, I barely made 40 on new horizons and only because I had friends to “play” with (if you can call it play, the game was so empty of everything!). Even the upgrades to shops and the house were a letdown.

    I will definitely try the mod, because I miss the old animal crossing a lot!







  • This.

    The manbaby is not smart enough to understand politics. He just understands force. By not doing anything “by force”, he just keeps being a manbaby while the world drifts away from him without him even realizing.

    What’s going to happen here is that one day, the turd will start another tantrum and, instead of saying “yes, sir, you are right, now let’s keep being friends”, the same people will just look away the same way a parent ignores a kid throwing a tantrum over a snack they did not get.
