You have a way with words, this was a beautiful way of putting my feelings into words. I will use this rhetoric going forward in your honor. Thank you.

I mean, 19 years as an active member of EFF, but sure. You do you.

I hope you take this in the spirit in which it was meant: fuck you and your defeatist edgy apathy. Refuse and resist until the bitter end.

I mean, hyperfocus is as much of a thing in ADHD as is having trouble focusing. Joke doesn’t really make sense, and I am a party pooper.

Exact same answer, except no hammocks, candles, soap or PS5 but I might have some weed.

Have you tried utilizing A* algorithm as a basis for your search pattern yet?

Star Control 2, Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah first quote when you meet them. Chilling, voice acting is so good. Voice acting in that game was so good, I still listen to the dialogues every once in a while.

"We sense… something… something ancient… a sickly smell… a chilling wind.

My ancestors scream from within their chambers in my mind

but I cannot understand their words.

This feeling… a memory? It sickens us, and for the first time in our lives

for the first time in generations

We fear."

Man, I wish GOG would bring it back. Original was on quicktime, I’ve tried a couple of times throughout the years to get it working on a modern OS, no dice :(

Shameless gog dreamlist plug if you loved this game too (not mine)

None, before my mom saw me play Soldier of Fortune and shoot a dudes’ ball off. After that she bought me an “educational, age appropriate game”, The Logical Journey of the Zoombini. I wasn’t supposed to play violent games, and instead play this game I was supposed to get bored of because it’s educational, and go play outside.

Jokes on her, I loved that game, and played it a ton.

Of course I ignored the rule of violent games and just learned to alt+tab as a reflex if I heard someone open my door. Useful skill in other parts of life as well…

Our senior Karma has this problem as well. Her kittens (adults now, though) clean her quite often. You can help out by damping a cloth, and “petting” him with it. It should be very pleasant for the cat as well, since it simulates grooming. She has dementia, and that has caused her to not groom as well or as much as would be necessary, so we pet her with a damp towel if she stinks, and she loves it.

I would recommend a consultation with a vet to rule out underlying issues that would make him unwilling/unable to groom himself, as cats are naturally very clean and prone to grooming, it’s worth checking out just in case.

All 3 of ours are quite vocal, but only Ciri drives me crazy. She is extremely social young cat, and every time someone leaves the house, goes to the bathroom, takes a shower or goes out of sight for any reason, she will start yowling after them, and not in a cute way, it’s a banshee wail. She will also do this if she thinks it’s feeding time (1-2h before actual feeding time) or if she “can’t find anyone”. If ignored, she will escalate to clawing doors or bullying the other two to provoke a reaction.

We know the only way to make it stop is not to react, but she is REALLY good at provoking a reaction, especially when she starts this operation 04:30 in the morning when I need to get up in 2 hours for work…

Otherwise a very pleasant, smart cat.

On the left, the criminal herself, chilling with her (suspected) mom.

It’s been a while since I have disagreed so hard with anyone. With all due respect of course, can’t really debate taste.

I disagree with the story being awful or awkward acting. Story is the best one of out the 3 (if you don’t count Witcher 3’s DLCs, those were superb.) and has the most innovative story quests. Also, not to spoil too much, but your decisions in that game actually affect the entire world and story a lot, what you do in act 2 can change the entire story, my mate and I had completely different stories because of what we decided in act 2, and I have to respect that. Not like that Mass Effect kind of “you were evil or whatever, which colour do you want as your ending?”

I agree, combat is terrible, engine is terrible, everything is unintuitive and clunky. I’d say for the best experience, drop difficulty to the easiest one and play for the story. Also, change voice acting to Polish, I can’t stand Geralt in English in any of the games (Sorry Doug, cool guy, doesn’t fit as Geralt IMO.) and the Polish really adds to the atmosphere, kinda like playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in Russian.

After a dwarf in the slums told me that my mother sucks dwarf cocks in hell, I haven’t been the same as a person.

Good for you to give it a go even though it’s pretty rough by today’s standards. Totally worth it, love the game even with it’s massive faults.

Well, not specifically because I want to make them feel included, it is to stimulate them and satisfy their curiosity. Also helps skittish cats and dogs to gain confidence by introducing them to new smells constantly in a safe way.

Smells are way more important to both cats and dogs than humans, and more than most people realize. Example: I see a lot of people around walk their dogs and not letting them sniff properly but just tug them along, thinking that the physical exercise and waste management are the sole purpose of walks.

We have a retired hunting dog, turned 11 on Sunday actually, and she’s still ridiculously hard to tire by physical exercise. The only way to get her proper tired is mental stimulation. Sniffing is a big part of that. 30min calm patient walk is way better than 60min of “COME OON” -hurried impatient walk.

Disclaimer: not all dogs etc., but… most dogs.

I did not know this exists! I will be using this at least weekly from now on. Thank you!

Got a non-spotify link? Love me some synthwave.

I did in the end end up painting it a nice blue colour with a rust protect metallic paint. First layer looked awful, second layer looked quite nice already, but I’m gonna add a third one today. The paint can recommended 3 layers for proper rust proof, so that’s what I’m going by.

I am sincerely apologetic of posting content that you found not to be dull enough. I will try to be better in the future. Tool restoration indeed is interesting, but I thought merely soaking a tool in deruster for days would be dull enough :(

I will keep this advice in mind the next time I need to derust something. Thank you very much. Bought a house from the 80’s from a family of the previous owner, and they left a whole bunch of potentially good tools and other stuff in there.

A badly maintained, clogged, greasy electric chainsaw is on my list of things to open up, clean and lube up as well. Looking forward to that. As a mainly electronics guy, I only very recently started doing simple mechanical repairs. Opened up a fan that had a hard time turning, found out there were no bearings, just a rod acting as the iron core inside a DC motor. Disassembled, applied generous amounts of acetone to relevant parts, dried it up and greased it up. Worked like a charm afterwards, and didn’t even lose any screws.
