Estonian dude

Got the Humble Monthly for Stick of Truth and This War of Mine. Additional games are just a bonus. But damn it has had some high-profile games on it. It's a shame only 5% goes to charity, but oh well...

I used to travel an hour to school. Or an hour and 15 mins when on a bicycle.

I have to say it again, I mess up Low Levelled and Ring World all the time with the similar writing style and no profile pic... Bloody long and difficult days ahead. Gonna be harsh.

Have been singing and/or drinking wine and baking cookies for the last 13 hours now. Gonna be fun tomorrow.

As we told you, go for it. you only regret things you don't do. (speaks me with 3 bottles of wine already in me)

If a thread about relationships on a webforum dedicated to an MMORPG is not a place for programming talk, then what is?!?!?

And we've got the winner! Next round in a few days.

[bleep]. I remembered.

Heading to physio in half an hour. Wonder how much he tells me this time. My knee ain't as good as it could and should be.

Well, it's all legal. And my girl is 19. Then again, I am only 21 aswell, but still.

Used to sing it out loud with my mate. It is kinda tongue twister actually.

But you just don't know until you've met if you haven't seen in years. Might be the love of his life :D Anyways, would be a cool story. I've walked 20 miles during the night in the middle of winter (which is minus degrees here) for being let down, but well, that was a story aswell of how [bleep]y some people can be.

Had a beer with coworkers which turned out to be 2 beers and then tequila came into play... Eugh, I have to work in half an hour. Terrible.

selling nominations for votes HEY! Only I get to sell nominations! Now 2 moar votes pl0x.

Keep the hard drives. RAM depends on which speed you currently have. If you need to change motherboards, it is helluva lot easier to just change CPU aswell, and go the whole way. You can probably also salvage the old case.

I have done a fair bit on that area, trying to ship different vacation destinations to friends or family so that we could go visit them, cause I am too lazy to go somewhere alone. I am pretty well-travelled aswell, having been pretty much everywhere in Europe (including Iceland), to the States (and Puerto Rico), Egypt and Indonesia (the geographic and naturalistic border between Asia and Oceania runs within Indonesia, of which I was on the both sides), thus having been to all parts of the world besides South America and Antarctica. I have been above the Polar Circle and I have seen midnight sun and aurora borealis. And this summer I am going to Canada. And in autumn probably going to visit Italy, Greece or Spain for a simple holiday with some sun. And Maddy, this is a bit sad, but so is life. If such stories are not told, then it is even worse. People won't take it seriously enough and won't protect themselves. It needs powerful conveying.

There are actually no laws permitting or forbidding movies to any sort of audience, except pornography. As such, most movie chains have simply put their own recommended age limits to movies and they may or may not admit people to the movies without an ID. It all comes down to the employee at the theater. And the highest limit our cinemas have self imposed is forbidden under 16+, but it ain't really common or enforced. Even Deadpool was 14+.

Well, if you were to happen to have come on a Song Festival year, then that would have been a massive, definite must-visit. I think I've shared some pics and videos here about the thing, this thing is epic. 120k+ people singing the same songs as a choir. But, sadly, next one is on the summer of 2017. But it is a good thing they ain't that often, otherwise they wouldn't be so special. In Estonia, during summer the coolest time to visit would be around Midsummers' Eve, 23rd of June, which is pretty much the biggest national holiday after Christmas and Independence Day on 24th of February. We have huge bonfires everywhere, people having fun and traditions abound all over the country. Fun events such as jumping over the bonfire and traditional tug-of-war competitions. I think it would be coolest to spend it on one of the islands. There is also the Weekend Festival Baltics, which is in Pärnu at 4-6 of August and is apparently the largest festival in Nordics and the Baltics, which is quite a claim, but it had all tickets sold out half a year before last year with over 75k available. This year it is highlighted by Avicii, Steve Aoki, Afrojack, Robin Schultz, Axwell & Ingrosso and many others. Sadly I don't know pretty much anything about what there is to do in Latvia and Lithuania during summer, partly because this summer will be my first summer here in like over 10 years (I was here also at 2010, but that doesn't count). And well, you will find it mediocre or not all according to your expectations. We are a small country with a rough history and we are really sparsely populated. Over 50% of the country is forest and a further 22% are swamps. Our highest peak is 318 metres and rest of the land is quite flat, so you ain't finding mountains either. The weather is mediocre and mild. However, if you are a fan of birds, we've got one of the most important bird transit areas in the whole Europe with Vilsandi and Matsalu state parks. We have the "allemannsrett", which means you can hike and camp pretty much everywhere that isn't fenced off or used as a field for a specific purpose, which is pretty much everywhere. As we have so much untouched forest and swamps, it is quite easy to see elk and bears and foxes and other animals in the wild. I am personally yet to see a brown bear, or a wolf (who is the most secluded), but I have seen pretty much all the other animals here. We aint really got anything poisonous or specially dangerous to harm you, except the common adder, who is mildly poisonous, but ain't that dangerous either, and other wild animals are more afraid of you than you are of them, so there is no danger as there is in Australia for example. The state forest service has created lots of plank ways in the swamps and forest tracks through the whole country, so you can hike here for weeks without the risk of getting lost. We ain't got no big cultural achievements or anything to boast of, except maybe for Tallinn Old Town and the old Soviet remains. We still have a whole region and a district of our capital where you can pretty much experience the Soviet lifestyle nowadays, with Russian language and brutalist architecture everywhere around you. Our people are really quiet, and shut-in. We are one of the most xenophobic people around and you just won't see randomly people smiling. Or well, actually you can now, but 20 years ago when you saw someone smiling on the street or in a store he/she was probably under the influence of something. When Statoil first came to Estonia with the gas station shops, around 25 years ago, they had the requirement that every cashier had to smile and greet everyone who comes in. For the first few years, it quite often actually terrified people and they turned back from the door. Foreigners used to tell of our food a century ago that pretty much everything is variations of potatoes and meat, and it would be absolutely terribly bland, yet we manage to make so many and so good different sauces to go with it. Nowadays the things have quite improved, with 7 of our restaurants among the top 500 in the world and lots of domestic and international attention has been made to improve the quality and market our restaurants. Best ones are booked with a year-long waiting list. Our dairy products are also in the top of the world, as Estonia has been in the forefront of Holstein cow breeding and we had the best dairy herd of the whole Soviet Union and we still produce pretty much the best milk and dairy products in Eastern Europe, if not the whole Europe. We are not as famous for cheeses, but we have terrific sour milk and curd cheese products, which you can't find anywhere else and are really loved among people here. One point is that we have one of the lowest lactose intolerance percentages of the whole developed world. Our economy has been down the plunger thanks to the whole Soviet occupation and stuff, but well, thanks to our IT stuff things have changed and continue to improve. Tallinn is scheduled to be the first city in the world to get 5G coverage along with Stockholm and right now 4G covers 99% of the country (still excluding my [bleep]ing house where not a single service provider has managed to fix the issue as within 50 metres to any direction it is 4G with maximum coverage, yet in our house it struggles to have 1-2 bars of 2G). Pretty much everyone here can call out how Skype was invented here, along with Kazaa and Limewire and Transferwise and tens of other startups and IT-firms. We are one of the highest countries overall in start-ups per capita and it shows. Young people are energetic, we consistently rank high in all sorts of educational tests along the world (higher than US and UK definitely, about on par or maybe a bit below Finland and South Korea), and we are the second in Europe after Sweden in the percentage of people speaking English as a secondary language.

I wouldn't belittle USA if I wouldn't see you all getting so riled up about it :D I got work today. Damn how I sometimes wish I didn't have such a job with shifts...

Funny how the last.fm thread got me back to last.fm in over a few years and after checking my most scrobbled songs one made me scratch me head. Like seriously, I couldn't remember the song. It was that song and after one listen I remembered well why I had listened so much to it.

I'd actually say China has much more of an influence over us than USA. Pretty much everything is made there, and I think we even export more to China than to USA. Probably not in value, but definitely in volume.

I think we are slowly but surely moving back to Feudalism, starting from the States, only that instead of nobles we have banks this time around. They own everything and everyone, and it is specially getting more scary with all kinds of streaming and subscription services.

I see my last post absolutely succeeded. I can point out general location of pretty much all the states, since I have checked on it a few times. But if you guys start asking states, then I should start asking the states of Germany for example (I had to study them in German classes). That kind of ignorance and/or selfishness is what proves my points. And the fact that America is pretty much the only country that has spent nearly all of 20th and 21st century mixed up in some kind of a war. But even most Estonians would have trouble getting all European countries in place, especially since there are so many of them on the Balkan. Count in the "sovereign republics" like Transnistria, Crimea, South Ossetia, things get really messed up. I admire America and Americans in some ways. Yet in others I completely loathe them. I've been to the States and wiill come to Canada this summer, and the only continents I haven't visited are South America, Australia and Antarctica. I have lived more summers abroad than I have in my own homeland, which might explain why I might seem specially patriotic. However, I think it is kinda funny you call me anti-semitic.

I doubt you can even point out Germany and France. Or anything Middle-East.
