    I like my voice until I hear it recorded and then I'm surprised anyone puts up with me.

    wat

    You have a perfectly fine voice and manner of speaking.

    I don't, people from Austin mostly don't have Texas accents

    You may not use the accent in your day to day but surely you use more idioms than you have iron skillets under the stove.

    hm I don't think so

    mostly the things that make me stick out are behavioural

    like, going camping and initially bringing my boots inside the tent and then, upon being asked why I would do that, going "uh scorpions???" and then going

    oh right no scorpions here ha ahaha >>;

    i don't think of myself as having a southern accent and then i went to PAX fancy dinner and Will was like "where are you from again?" and i said "Richmond, Virginia" and like tobacco just appeared packed in my lip and my shoes flew off and my car turned into a donkey

    Allegedly a voice of reason.

    I find y'all to be a great alternative to "guys". Feels bad saying "you guys" when it's literally not a single duder. Y'all just fits that niche so well.

    I spent years trying to deflect my accent back to the "proper" American one.

    it was a losing battle.

    Ludious on the other hand has a delightful drawl he tries his best to hide

    Or rugged, where if he tried to hide it, it would still be so broad and pronounced that nobody would notice he was doing a thing.

    Honestly, I only notice any of my base southern accent when I'm talking to either country folks, cause I start to slide into the good stuff. Or when talking to folks from the Northeast, cause even the slightest of southern intonations sounds different when talking to them.

    I mean I say "y'all" and, on occasion, "fixin' to" or uh

    call blond people toeheads

    but there's not really a cadence or anything

    I guess sometimes I say "yes, sir" and it comes out "yee-ess surr" or sometimes I'll let out a "May'um"

    I say y'all all the time though. It's useful.

    I don't know, the regional/class implications of English accents seem exhausting.

    Can I do all that in the 360 version?

    Bet I can't. :(

    The majority of the new content is next-gen/PC only

    Heists, criminal enterprises, etc.

    The 360/PS3 versions of GTAV are legacy games.

    They did new heists, too?

    I don't think they did, no

    But I was under the impression Heists weren't a thing the untermensch on 360 could access?

    Maybe that's other stuff.

    Nah, we have heists.

    There was content parity cross-platform for a while. I forget when they stopped adding content to the 360, but I'm under the impression that outside of performance it's pretty much the same as current gen/PC was at the time. I haven't played it too much so I'm not too sure about content. For whatever reason I can't play GTA4 or 5 online over wireless and that's mostly been too much of a pain in the ass for me to bother with once I finished up the heists.

    that sounds racist.

    wat

    toehead just means

    blond person - mostly it refers to babies

    It sounds like something you'd call Uma Thurman

    It derives from this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tow

    It basically means "blonde" in the sense of having hair that resembles tow

    Yeah that's horribly inappropriate

    re: y'all, I used to not say it (not out of like, any reasons, just isn't California dialect word) but the woman across the hall (/my old roommate) from Wyoming uses it, and I respect her a lot and kind of picked it up from her.

    I miss her.
