(v0180 (EXTN (ST also a lot of places accept hong kong dollars (which macau's currency is pegged to, and HKD is pegged to USD so it's also pegged to USD) and occasionally the chinese yuan )))
(v0180 (SPON (ST it's funny that macau's currency is referred to in chinese as "portuguese currency" even though portugal has never used it and portugal's actual pre-euro currency has a different name probably because "澳門元" is 3 syllables and awkward to say and "澳元" already refers to australian dollars )))
(v0180 (EXTN (ST I remember when I used to buy things with tickets because while the suggested rate was 1 robux : 10 tix, and most games defaulted to that, the real exchange rate was more like 1 robux : 20 tix so you could spend less on the same thing but you couldn't exchange all of it to tix because some games would only take robux and ) (ST it's all just gone now )))
(v0180 (EXTN (ST and builders club stopped being a thing around september 2019 it seems like ) (ST so a current roblox player is likely to have never heard of those 2 things ) (ST I also haven't played roblox since, like, 2020 so there are probably even more removed/renamed features ) (ST christ I'm old )))
(v0180 (SPON (ST one thing that kids these days will never be able to experience (and haven't been able to for... almost a decade? jesus) is learning how foreign currency exchanges work through roblox )))
(v0180 (ISTM (ST the annoying thing about hedgedoc is that it doesn't seem to have a way to generate a view link and an edit link for the same note )))

(v0180 (XSTM (ST TIL that, despite madden 25 (2013) existing, the madden game from 2024 is still just called madden 25 ) (ST oh well, of course they were going to take the least creative option )))
(v0180 (EXTN (ST also, don't take screenshots of them unless you want the screenshot's exact location to be known ) (ST probably at least one person will find it if they wanted to )))
(v0180 (EXTN (ST use extreme caution when talking about wplace, don't ever reference any location you don't want people to know about (e.g. your house, your town, etc) or even any particularly unique drawings that are near you, really )))
(v0180 (SPON (ST tbf even using twitter or bluesky is kinda weird by normie standards, they're all on instagram ) (ST it's funny how instagram and twitter/bluesky/fedi are 2 parallel worlds )))
