Just… brava friend. Brava indeed
I genuinely try to use it bcs I think it’s a cool character, but there’s really not a lot of situations that warrant one ><

I mean that’s Assassin’s Creed for pretty much everyone these days, who even remembers Asheron’s Call?

Is there another AC now? I haven’t kept up
Armored core/animal crossing/ace combat
Also Assetto Corsa

I Always Update Ubuntu After Watching Entertainment Tonight.
What about using idiomatic expressions without punctuation.
Shoot, again?
It’s a defence mechanism. I want to scare people away from trying to participate in a topic they know nothing about but feel like an expert in. Those that do know about the acronyms are worth the while.
