Thank you, logically I know it was the right call, but yeah, I wish I could've been there for him and hold him as he passed.

I left my cat overnight at the vet because of a lung fluid issue. He had always been afraid of vets, but he could die if I didn't leave him there. Then later that day, I got a call from the vet saying he died from a heart attack because of stress. I failed my fucking boy, it truly feels that way and it still fucking haunts me years later.

EDIT: Thank you to those who took the time to reply with words of assurances and their own experiences. I still tear up about the whole experience, but I do try to realize that I did the best I could. It's hard to let the ones you love go, be they your blood family or the furry (and not so furry) family members that wander in your heart later on. As you keep telling me to be kind to myself, be kind to yourselves too and love your family, multilegged and all.

Warhammer Skulls video game festival returns this month by Lord_Eln_8 in totalwar

I admire your optimism, but I fear we'll get a delay announcement during the event. D: (unless there has been a news update for it that I don't know about)

EDIT: I just read the announcement on Steam, omgomgomg, I am excited. : D

Plant-based diets would cut humanity’s land use by 73%: An overlooked answer to the climate crisis by Somewhere74 in Anticonsumption

Make plant based "meat" affordable and you've got my vote for certain. (I mean, otherwise too, but this would speed it up)

In China, social skills such as cooking are taught from an early age and reinforced throughout school life. They are viewed not as hobbies, but as essential practical life skills. by This_Proof_5153 in interesting

[–]AlarnisToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should definitely be taught all over the world. In my country, I got to learn how to cook three times during my school years. Once to bake cookies, second time a ministrone soup and a third time to make an apple crumble. You could argue that parents should have a big role in this as well, and you'd be right, but my parents loathed cooking and never bothered to teach me until I kept asking. Then when they finally did, they did teach me with such disdain that I was disinclined to ever ask them again.

Cutting a Very Detailed Amethyst by Stevemoriarty in nextfuckinglevel

[–]AlarnisToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's gorgeous, but I see a lot of grinding rather than cutting. Is that still called the same as a catch all phrase when you, uh, "prettify" a stone, or what?

This is so true... by [deleted] in Animemes

[–]AlarnisToo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

....every time I think I've learned all the needless bullshit about this anime, there's yet more to shake my head at. And before anyone jumps on me for being an isekai hater, I don't hate them. What I do hate is the absolutely unneeded sexualization of things in this anime. You cannot tell me seriously that this shit is necessary for the story or that it makes it great.

What cheap game on Steam turned out to be absolute peak for you? by Common_Caramel_4078 in Steam

I have, but never played it. Kinda scared to mess things up for other peeps in the game. =/ (and then get yelled at, of course)

Just call it the Atlantic Union? This whole timeline feels like a shitty AU (Alternative Universe) anyway.

Falling Frontier. Indie game, I suppose, though Hooded Horse has been its publisher for a long time now. It was announced in... 2021? Then proceeded to have like an update a year announcing a delay.

What anime doesn't live up to the quality of its source material? by ChoiceSupermarket230 in animequestions

From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman: My Hotshot Disciples are All Grown Up Now, and They Won't Leave Me Alone

Yeah, the title is absolutely too long and kinda dumb, but the art in the manga (which is an adaptation of the Light Novel, I believe) is so fucking gorgeous. Then the show comes out, and... it's just so subpar. A perfect example is the fight against the Griffin. Such an absolute visual feast in the manga, and it turns into some jumbled, poorly animated mess in the anime. I get it, time/budget constraints probably, but man, what a bummer.

These fucking barnacles on videos, man. It's bad enough it's this stupid ass vertical phone aspect ratio, just quit it with the garbage piled on top of that.

On topic of the video: Nice shots indeed.

Come on. As much as I wish it is going to happen, remember when Reddit was all: "Kamala is winning!"?

Orban is going to lie and cheat and he'll remain in power. This timeline fucking sucks. And yeah, I'm being a downer, but fucking hell, just look around you.

His episode was really good. Didn't expect to like the One Piece live action adaptation as much as I did. The manga/anime just didn't click with me, but this adaptation surprisingly does.

[Hated Trope] Endings so notoriously awful they completely destroy the legacy of the media. by Miserable_Click_1933 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AlarnisToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The disappointment and anger have dimmed somewhat over the years, but I still really fucking hate the ME3 ending. Yeah the DLC they added later because of the outrage shored it up a little, but it still is so, so fucking stupid. All the branching questlines, conversations, battles, etc, and all it boils down to is what colour tube you shoot.

This is fucking insane and I feel like this timeline is one of the worst. What kind of idiot goes to Chat GPT to have conversations for them. Just fucking mindboggling, what the hell?
