you are a shiny pokemon, comic book? tell me more about it XD
Well, it's an Italian comic book and it's popular in some parts of Europe. Don't know about the rest of the world. I'm an old-timer. We read comics under the table during our school lessons. The same thing kids today do with their smartphones, I guess. I don't have anything worth stealing - no wristwatches or expensive clothes. Basically, only my smartphone is worth some money but I don't really flash it around.
And I'd like to visit Manaus - not only because of Mister No, but it would be cool to visit a large city like this that's been placed at the heart of the Amazon rainforest.

they use world cups to atract foreigners and then trash it... most of the stadiums are forsaken... deserted... not even used or remembered, i hate it, if they cared about us( people) more than " lookings" we would be in a better way, the last 20-24 years of presidents made a mess of the country...
Unfortunately, I also know about this side of Brazil. my wife once took part in the development of one big project, which was canceled (because of the 2016 Olympics) :)

So, it's an Italian comic book. It's set in 1950s. Mister No (not his real name but nobody knows his name although there are some episodes when we learn it) is an American ex-military pilot, fresh back from WWII, lives in Manaus and has a small Piper aeroplane. He's transporting tourists, goods or whoever can pay him. Obviously, he often finds himself in all kinds of troubles - poachers, smugglers... Or even more exotic adventures where he's transporting archaeological or scientific teams dealing with mysteries like in Indiana Jones movies - ancient civilizations, lost alien spaceship, etc.

Not all, but people usually only remember what they hear/know.. And those are the most vocal ones + many say liew that are from there to achieve the "pity me, I'm poor" factor
yes, lot of people do this, even worse, for me i hate "pity" i prefer an oportunity to study and work than it( even if i never learned how to study correctly, and as nitrous said i think i may have something like ADHD, pity won't change nothing, but hardworking and studying and oportunities will.
there are people here that think " if someone has more than me, they're obligated to " bow to me", help me or give me wathever i want because if they don't they assholes, evildoers, selfish ... ( brazilian karens, but without gender)

venting again * they use world cups to atract foreigners and then trash it... most of the stadiums are forsaken... deserted... not even used or remembered, i hate it, if they cared about us( people) more than " lookings" we would be in a better way, the last 20-24 years of presidents made a mess of the country... around the year 2000 real( our currency) was near equal with dollars, 1 real was like 1 dolar, 1.10 dollars ...( but the situation wasnt good too lol)




you are a shiny pokemon, comic book? tell me more about it XD


just a tip for anyone who want come to brazil, idk what is in your place, but try to not look like a " gringo(foreigner)",don't be innocent don't walk with your smartphone on the hands, always hide them in your shorts, pants in your waist... if it is "bulky"( like putting most things on the pocket)it is more likely to be a target of buglars( idk if it is the correct word) backpack never on the side ideally at the front, but can be at the back too( if u get metro,train, bus, or in places with lots of people, put it in front...

most foreigners visit us like agent 47, lol, a clean shirt and a jeans is ok, being a gothic is also ok... be aware of wristwatches don't get a expensive one lol, preferable if u get a cheaper one to use at the streets( u can get one at shopee for like 34-50 reais, converting to usd it is around 6-10 usd), a online shopping like aliexpress, things at airport are more expensive than out of it.

there lots of good people, but also people that want to " pull your leg" if u have a brazilian friend or make a brazilian friend(good ones) things probably would be easier, i haven't been robbed yed because i attain by those " rules" i put to myself, about bulky things and expensive things( if they want to rob you, they will, but the less u look having something, the less probability to be a target you have, want to use smartphone etc? go to some place like where they sell bread, shopping mall, markets ...public places( if it aint a must , dont use on the streets)

althought there are lots of goods things from brazil and at brazil, i don't really like the way things are going
Sounds like the ghetto here, except if you wear a backpack at all your getting swarmed by police as a possible suicide bomber :ROFLMAO:

Thanks for your daily reminder. (y) Is there a dead rat laying on the book before the speaker in the Puzzle Pic? 🐀
View attachment 16718
And how can there be 11 seconds remaining, when I did not get it in time at all last time I played? :unsure:
You're Welcome @Kid Kidding :love:(y), I think that's a controller🎮🤔, definitely not a dead rat although it does look like one🐀😂. It's a screenshot I took after I completed the puzzle, that's why there's 11 seconds remaining(y). I wanted people to see the puzzle pic fully, so it makes it easier for them to complete the puzzle.(y)

AWA Daily Quest for today (7 ARP): Day 2 - Word Fury!
Just click on the quest itself in the Daily Quest section
https://na.alienwarearena.com/quests/5016

Guess the correct word❔to get 7 ARP.(y)
Odin is a god of which mythology ? Answer: _____ mythology.

NORSE


Edit/ Note: I don't know if we will get a fair compensation or not for the Twitch Quest Missing ARP🤷‍♂️, As AWA say "we've been increasing the ARP from various other activities, like the weekend and daily quests, to compensate for it rather than just a simply lump sum". I dont care if I get the missing ARP or not, but a lot of people did miss out:( and I would like to see them get their fair dues(y). So I guess, we'll have to wait and see how this one pans out.🤞

I'm using Firefox and after clicking "Start Game" both yesterday and today I got this:

AWA_SUCKS.png


To fix it, I use "This Frame/Show Only This Frame" and then I can play it (because it's no longer just an embedded frame):

AWA_SUCKS2.png

After that, I can play the game like normal and click the blue button to claim my ARP. (y)



Here's a puzzle that doesn't show you how to complete it, I would've had it done on time, but I dropped one of the pieces and got a delay as a result. You can see the last piece under the <Time 0> message. You don't get a preview of the image before you start, so that's why I'm posting this. (y)
