In all fairness, it’s in no way required to own a fursuit to be a furry. :) It’s only as expensive as you want it to be.
- Comment on Scary indeed. 1 week ago:
Because gamers have a finite amount of time and money? New releases are literally competing for both of those.

This is me, too. Even if I enjoy the trip itself, “having a trip planned” but not being on the trip yet is the most stressful time of the whole ordeal, and the stress only increases the nearer to the day of the trip it gets.

When you get an image with the mouth open and it’s alarmingly detailed, that’s when you can be absolutely sure.
- Comment on The T in LGBT actually stands for Thagomiser 1 week ago:
Yeah, I don’t know about that. The top left one, on the other hand…

If you’re gooning to the characters, you’d probably enjoy the movie, to be honest!

IDK, WDYM?

Video game travel always has that weird feel to it, too. For instance, in the Morrowind / Oblivion / Skyrim, you can run from one city to another in roughly a minute. Even if we very generously assume you’re running at ~15 MPH (which would be crazy fast for any distance), that would put them about a quarter mile apart. At more realistic speeds, 1/8 or so.
- Comment on Delivery robots are spreading across LA. Residents ‘both pity and hate them’ 3 weeks ago:
Perhaps it is not the entire world who is stupid while you’re one of a select few intelligent enough to really know what’s going on.
I’m not sure where you got the impression that that was at all what I was saying, but just to restate, the complaint was that the above points never even make it into the conversation when this comes up. The discourse is always ‘Robots are taking away our jobs’, and it completely misses the ‘…and that would be okay if we took steps to ensure everyone’s prosperity’ followup.
I’m not saying we should stop opposing this stuff because an alternative exists where it’s okay, I’m saying that we should be actively talking about that alternative every time this comes up, because the vast majority of people [in the US] are not used to even hearing it.
- Comment on Delivery robots are spreading across LA. Residents ‘both pity and hate them’ 3 weeks ago:
I agree with you, I just hate that it rarely ever even makes it into the conversation. “We need to regulate this new technology until we pass this other legislation that we are actively working towards which I will now outline” would be far more productive than just “This is bad and we need to ban it.”
- Comment on Delivery robots are spreading across LA. Residents ‘both pity and hate them’ 3 weeks ago:
The reasons related to them occupying sidewalks and whatnot are totally reasonable, but I really hate when something like this is opposed because it will take jobs from delivery drivers. That’s such a backwards way of thinking. “Humans need to work because working is how we make money and we need money to live” Sure, but like… what if we didn’t need money to live? What if the increased ‘free’ labor that things like this provide was just… shared equitably among everyone in the community? What if we had UBI so people didn’t need to work gig economy jobs that could be done by robots?
But no, that’s crazy talk.
- Comment on How come assassinations went away for the most part? Why send a bunch of god fearing young kids into a battle the upper class started or wanted when clipping one leader would stop it? 3 weeks ago:
Imagine you’re the leader of a country. You’ve got beef with the leader of another country.
You can resolve your beef by sending thousands or tens of thousands of plebs to die, while remaining safe yourself, or you can normalize directly targeting each other with assassins.
In the first case, you sit safely on your ivory throne sipping wine while the conflict resolves itself. In the latter case, you’re constantly looking over your shoulder, wondering who’s going to come for you next.
- Comment on Do young people still say words like "taped"? 4 weeks ago:
Taped as in, to record something on VHS.
- Comment on Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should 4 weeks ago:
Seriously, my first thought was, “Why isn’t this a thing?”
- Comment on When a judge tells the jury to ‘forget XYZ,’ how can the jury possibly do that? 4 weeks ago:
It could also, however, be legitimate evidence that proves guilt, but that was obtained through illegal means and therefore is inadmissible in court.
- Comment on i'mma breed you hotter 4 weeks ago:
We’re in a sadomasochistic relationship with chilis.
- Comment on Must have apps 4 weeks ago:
An even better option is Ventoy - You just drop the raw .isos onto the drive and it gives you all of them as options in a bootloader. Can put all of your distros on one drive (and even windows isos if you really need to for some reason).

That is fun sounding; too bad it’s VR + mobile and not… a more reasonable set of environments!
- Comment on Sick of this shit 5 weeks ago:
You know, I would totally play an extraction game where you play as a squirrel gathering nuts and things.
- Comment on Durian supremacy 5 weeks ago:
This makes it sound like a durian smoothie would be great, but also I don’t think I could handle the smell.
- Comment on I didn't realize it was so bad 5 weeks ago:
Wow, I’m very below average for my age bracket; I feel much better about my weight now! Thanks, Gemini!
- Comment on Who grew up watching Beakmans World? 5 weeks ago:
I loved Beakman’s World. It was a more wacky version of Bill Nye.

God, it makes the new models look so much worse when you put them next to the old ones like that.

And here I expected that link to lead to a certain highly controversial Penny Arcade comic.

It’s great because A) his parents presumably named him that knowing full well what they were doing and B) He could have chosen to go by Will, William, or Bill, but actively chose to use Willie professionally.

Yeah, that’s a lot less fun to imagine. :(

Now I’m imagining a room full of people swallowing battery after battery to test this product.

I think that would require a grasp of how brains work that we simply don’t have.

This is the way.
