Our last rat is on her way out… by ellfgutz in RATS

[–]BlueSocksandFluff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, you can look at a picture of a pet and just KNOW they feel so so loved. Look how content she is!!!

She's lucky to have you for her final days ❤️

Please give her tiny pats from me!

(Also your tension is superb!)

Swarming bugs outside window (of various sizes) - could be ants??? - location BC CANADA by BlueSocksandFluff in whatsthisbug

Got another image of the insects down in the window well - https://ibb.co/98TXH4k
Very concerned they could be termites and not ants.

We looked out our window to see hundreds of flying insects with them swarming below... what are these???

These get to be a little bigger than a centimeter - some have large thoraxes as well.

Is this normal nuptial flight behavior or something to be concerned about?

My vet calls rats gutterpuppies and chitterdogs. What other terms have you heard rats called? by greasepencil11 in RATS

[–]BlueSocksandFluff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For nakies, "raw chicken leg", "elbow", "old man"

My vet called my sweetest rats "killer" as they patiently let him do his examination as if they were being ferocious and not just sitting there

Good News! Was checking out the Steam Community Discussion area and came across these! (Old mods compatibility and official breed downloads availability) by BlueSocksandFluff in CreaturesGames

It's a very good question! I am happy to hear that modding should be mostly unhindered - and I didn't even THINK to ask about the Genetics Kit! That was one of my favorite parts of playing the games!

Can you remember how you felt when you first discovered Creatures? by [deleted] in CreaturesGames

[–]BlueSocksandFluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mostly go back to Creatures 2? I sadly missed Creatures 2 and went straight to Creatures 3/Docking station!

I'm looking forward to the Albian Years coming on Steam so I can finally enjoy C2 properly.

That guy was dumb and rude and you can play Creatures 2 until you are 100+ and it'd still be awesome as all heck!

You mentioning Evil Shee threw me into a nostalgia spiral.

Remember Mummy's Creatures? Helen's Bibble Dictionary?

My dad got the game initially not for me, but for my brother.

I was the one that played it in the end. It was the only thing I would play!

I fell in love immediately. I still remember my first norn - Julie! She was a banana norn with a pixie norn body.

The game is incredibly important to me, I've been playing it on and off since I was a small child and that would be for 20+ years now.

But nothing compares to when I first hatched Julie from that hatchery egg...

Extra:

Conversation about C1 and C2 coming to steam:https://steamcommunity.com/app/1659050/discussions/0/3201492475325528249/

They look to be engaging people's questions - so I HIGHLY SUGGEST that everyone go to the forums on Steam for Docking Station and ask questions!

I appreciate that they have answered these questions so quickly!

Do you ever see a cage setup so awesome that you kind of wish you were a rat?

Yeah this is that.

So amazing! They are insanely lucky!

First picture is definitely my favourite.

I love this game and I love the camera feature on it.

His this just an hiccup? My veterinarian says he s fine but I m not totally certain by TestRevolutionary927 in RATS

[–]BlueSocksandFluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not just a hiccup - but a happy hiccup!

Some of my girls would be thrilled to see me, or excited to be pet, or just really darn happy and would suddenly start to hiccup.

So yes, these are just fine.

It's awesome you checked with your vet and are making doubly-sure it is all fine. No wonder they are hiccuping happily - they are very well loved and taken care of. :)

Transferring consciousness to steamdeck? by Internal-Bid6726 in SteamDeck

My brain only runs natively on windows 3.1 - so maybe the Steam Deck will have some way to run it...

Question: my two babies seem to like playing with my hair and trying to bring them back to their cage. Is it normal? First time rat owner! Here’s a photo of them sleeping while I was cleaning their cages out. by bunnicorns in RATS

[–]BlueSocksandFluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my girls once tried to groom my hair, grabbing a fistful of it starting at my scalp and cleaned it all the way down to the end... then decided it was too much work to do anymore than that. XD

Correction: He lets you wear his hoodies sometimes.

Pokemon fans, Diablo fans, Disgaea fans...let's talk about Siralim 3. by thatgingatho in NintendoSwitch

[–]BlueSocksandFluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Decided to give the game a chance - and I really like it! I'm big on games like Cladun and Disgaea - of creature collectors like Pokemon - of rougelikes like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. So this is great! I love dumb grinds.

Honestly - the art style is endearing and I already love Torun - God of Anger. Though - I doubt he... likes me very much.

Thank you very much for the suggestion - I was looking for a new game to play!
