My Steam name had hanzi in it during my first startup, and the servers still have a bug that won’t update names. So I can’t play cross-platform with my PS5 friends, and also every now and then I get kicked from lobbies or even get a little misdirected racism over vc.

But one time I played with a group of Russian guys who kept talking amongst themselves until one said “你好(Babs)” and we had a short conversation in what was obviously neither of our primary language. That was a fun night.
