It feels like I miss out on so much just because I don't speak this 'English'. I know that these little machines will broadcast your voice, but did you know it can also use written words, that are then translated so that anyone can understand? Isn't that so much better than babbling excitedly about whatever and leaving half of us in the dark

not everyone likes typing

like me

talking over the thing is easier

[modest_as_me]

Well if you really want to sound like a chattering monkey no one can understand far be it from me to stop you!

It just takes practice~

[deathblows]

if it bothers you that much it's probably not worth fussing over

if someone wanted to talk to you they'd text you

i have too much shit to practice for already to sit around practicing typing

[modest_as_me]

If something bothers me then that's all the more reason to fuss. That way something will actually be done about it.

Practice what, exactly?

[deathblows]

no what i meant is that if listening to the babbling or whatever bothers you it's probably nothing you should worry about like as far as what they're talking about

football fighting not getting killed

though i haven't practiced football since i got here obviously

[modest_as_me]

But sometimes the one doing the babbling sounds so upset. Like something is wrong, or someone has been hurt. Those are the cases I really don't want to miss out on.

Not familiar with 'football', I'm afraid, but the other two are important enough... But I still say that working on your communication skills could do wonders for you.

.. yeah i guess those times it would be useful but most of the time i could give a shit if it isn't anyone i care about

yeah i wasn't either until i got blackmailed into it

now i don't mind it so much

... OI!!! there's nothing wrong with the way i talk!!!

[modest_as_me]

The problem there is that no one will care about you in turn, and so what do you do if you're the one babbling desperately because something is wrong?

Well I can understand you, so there's that...

[deathblows]

you'd be wrong about that i have a gang who's got my back

tch just for that

[ he switches to audio, speaking in Japanese ]

I'M GOING TO TALK AT YOU! HAHAHA!

[modest_as_me]

So you do care about other people. See, if you lie I'm going to make the wrong assumptions.

[Have some Chinese, right back at you.]

Silly boy.

[VOICE REPLY; JAPANESE]

[deathblows]

I never said that I didn't care about people, oi!

Oh, right.. you can't understand this, huh..

.... Ehhh...? What's..

Sounds like Chinese.

[modest_as_me]

I heard 'Chinese' again. Did you understand me there?

[deathblows]

ok ok fine i'm done

no i don't know chinese but i've heard it a few times and it sounded like that

[modest_as_me]

Glad you got that off your chest.

Everyone I've spoken too about it has called it Chinese, so I guess that's what it is.

[deathblows]

yeah me too

what do you call it?

[modest_as_me]

Nothing, really. But it's like I tell them, I'm from a place called Konan, not China.
