Something else I’m wanting to learn is a couple languages. They’re what the people of where my heritage comes from spoke/speak. I’m wanting to connect more to my heritage, as heritage means everything to me. I’m not naming them here because I can already see someone rolling their eyes and saying “You Americans always think you live here right now.” or something similar. Which is sadly more common than people realize. For example, a boy came here on a student visa and was actually from Ireland. He had lived there his entire life. He met a girl in school and they became really close. She brought him home to meet her family, and here’s where the problem started. Her family had it in their heads that they were the epitome of Irish people. If you wanted to meet someone Irish, your only option was to visit them. Well, they hated him pretty quick. Obviously, he spoke with an Irish accent. They decided that he was mocking them and insulting them all because they were Irish, and he wasn’t. They wouldn’t even listen to him or their own daughter when they tried to explain that he was from Ireland. If I remember right, he ended up thinking that just because of how stupid and pathetic they are, it was actually funny. I don’t know what happened to him and the girl, but that’s what I can see a lot of people saying when Americans talk about heritage.

I finally beat Baldur's Gate 3 last week! I put about 94 hours into it, and I loved every moment. It's truly one of the best games I have ever played. I was very satisfied with the ending I got, but it still felt kind of bittersweet knowing the adventure was over. I can definitely see myself replaying this game in a few years and going down a different path.

I am against it and even if I were able to, I would never want to risk it due to so many games now having the ability to be able to detect when a player cheats and the usual punishment for that is a permanent ban from the game. I believe there was a member from Faze at one point who cheated on Fortnite and he did it on stream as well. Epic Games were alerted and he was permanently banned and could no longer make a new account either.
