I like doing old prospector-y cursing for minor inconveniences. I work at a hospital, so I probably shouldn’t curse openly infront of the unwashed terbuculars.

My final form is Grandpa Lou Rugrats.

That was how I made peace with Biden in the first place.

“You aren’t voting for the man, you’re voting for the cabinet and judges he appoints”.

Atleast Biden’s cabinet was more-or-less competent. I didn’t always agree with them, but atleast there was a logic outside of “this will only benefit the obscenely rich/Russia”

They would have won the White House if they endorsed it more.

The fact that he wasn’t concerned that a notable chunk of his audience was either fasc-y or being led down that path is concerning.

I remember The Comedy Button (a podcast comprised of mostly ex-IGN staff) during Gamergate. A few of their fans were espousing that kind of thought and the hosts shut that shit down quick. They lost a chunk of listeners, but you gotta kick the nazis out of the bar.

Is this that crazy chick from HunterxHunter who falls in love with thirteen year old Gon?

It doesn’t need to be big to do it’s job!😡

Isn’t gallup one of those pollsters that still uses landline surveying? That’s got to skew the numbers.

Also people not being remotely politcally engaged doesn’t help much either.

“I vote democrat because the alternative are shitty and racist, but I am worried about this DEI, CRT, CBT, Trans stuff my weird uncle posted on Facebook”

Y2K could have gone south real quick without heroes like her.

I use the phrase codified. For example Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 didn’t invent fighting or exploring in 3D, but both established a baseline of what it should feel like.

Pokemon took what SMT/Dragon Quest/Mother was putting down, simplified and refined the vibe and made it more accessible.

Both games have full implented battle systems.

Cobblemon allows you to move while battling, and has faint animations.

Pixelmon is more feature complete, but it’s glitchier.

Definitely play it on a server. The procedural generated gyms are cool, but nothing beats humans.

Someone’s gotta show Lost Odyssey some love.

It’s such a shame. Pokemon has so much potential, but Gamefreak/TPC are… a bit shitty.

They could take a leaf from Morrowind. Open world, but use terrain and fog to hide the limitation and funnel the players along the points of interest.

Then late game let them go nuts, flying everywhere seeing the less than pretty areas.

Like Breath of the Wild had some empty ugly areas, but the worse areas were off the beaten path.

Also the bland areas were also usually hiding a shrine or something.

Cut to the barber that’s clearly a coyote.

IIRC he only got ice cream for him and one of his daughters, when the other two kids who were also with him watching them eat ice cream. Mom calls him out on that being a bit fucked up, Dad doubles down. Reddit asks OP what the fuck is he doing.

It’s weird Bean Dad shit.

(sighs) Would.

Oh, no language policing intended. I was just doubling down on the bloodlust.

Either. Either one of them.

I wish I were her.

IIRC, it’s more that they over time figure out what sounds and actions get their owner’s attention. We respond better, unconsiously or otherwise when they meow at us.

My old cat figured out, before I did, that if she knocks shit off the coffee table I get up and check if her bowl is empty.

Generally wild/feral adult cats are more or less mute outside of anger/mating/territory calls, but domesticated cats keep their kitten vocalizations if we respond to them.

My current cat is very vocal and we responded playfully to his meowing as he grew up.

Edit: Here’s a scientific american blog/article about it. I don’t think it’s something we have confirmation on, just a good hunch.

Nah, he was good with bunnies. He can pet them hard as he wants and they are okay.

Mice and dresses, yeah.
