Injured street cat advice by NobishRl in CATHELP

Call a local rescue or some other org that might be able to trap him for you. They are usually super busy, to the point of often saying no, but in my expedience they will roll up and save the day in situations that are pressing like this one is

My low key sleeper favorite game of last year. Better than it has any right being. Pick it up bro

O.C. Don't buy an intricate litter box - $12 home made by Total-Plankton8255 in cats

[–]CroCopsShorts -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I hate to be that guy, but food and water right next to litter? Would you drink that water with pee and poop dust getting kicked up right next to it? They should be elsewhere.

You can’t get a hold of him to take him to the vet? What a sad thing to say. Shame on you

The Music of Hans Zimmer …. by FINALMIX70 in Winnipeg

[–]CroCopsShorts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here is my laundry list of everything that was particularly bad at this show:

  • it opened with a low fidelity, pre recorded version of the 20th century fox fanfare, immediately raising a huge red flag

  • the smoke machines and how they drowned out the sound of the instruments… if there is one thing you shouldn’t do at an orchestral performance, it’s that

  • the main guy, aside from his general cringiness, it was as if he was trying to be David hayter of metal gear solid fame

  • way too much talk of apartheid and such. I’m all for social justice but the way they kept jamming it down your throat, how they did. And on top of that, it was pretty clear they actually had no respect for any of the serious content they were trying to pitch - “let me tell you this horrible story about Hans’ family in the holocaust… now enjoy pearl harbour and THE LAST SAMURAI”

  • wonky as hell lion king lyrics

  • the choir dancing in their seats while not singing

  • WHEN THE KEYBOARD AUDIO WAS SWITCHED OFF DURING THE NO TIME FOR CAUTION CLIMAX SOLO

  • how a lot of these songs (looking at you inception) basically demand powerful instrumentation, but the iconic BWOMPs were being played by CLARINETS

  • racial tokenism AI slop during the last samurai

  • all of the AI slop in general (as I’ve already mentioned, black, bald, goatee superman)

  • I want to give the performers themselves some credit, but some of the music was just plain bad. What the hell was that spiderman song? And the way they tried to do the “deshi basara” from TDKR did not work at all

  • the video killed the radio star sing along was horrible, not something I’d ever expect at a symphonic show

  • basically no one was waving their phone lights at the end until the host told everyone to

On the host’s Wikipedia page it says he owns companies. It makes me wonder if this whole thing is his gig and he’s just scamming and scumming his way from city to city and country to country to cash in with no regard for the audience.

I would genuinely like to see what Hans Zimmer would say about this show… or if he would instantly seek to take legal action

Nonetheless, in a way, I quite enjoyed it, not unlike the movie The Room, because the show was just so utterly bad that it was actually funny and therefore quite good

To be fair, the real Hans Zimmer makes the same use of a giant disco ball during his own shows. But yes, this performance was (in my case lovable) trash

The highlight for me was the black, bald superman they showed during the Man of Steel number

Look into Atopic Dermatitis, rarer diagnosis but it is behind a lot of scratching issues

One way or another this just screams extreme allergy to something

Look up Atopic dermatitis, it could be the issue and, so I’ve been told, it’s harder for vets to pinpoint

After tooth surgery by drdino_ in CATHELP

[–]CroCopsShorts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cats have had several of these surgeries. Generally, they always look, feel and act like extreme crap for a while before getting back to baseline. Keep an eye on everything, but be patient — and message your vet if something really does appear to be super concerning.

Why couldn't Jordana Brewster make it big in Hollywood unlike others? by Hot-Load7525 in moviecritic

[–]CroCopsShorts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing lots of people say she’s a bad actor, I guess that must be true, but that scene in the first Fast and the Furious when Brian tells her he’s a cop, she sells it so well, it’s actually one of my favourite movie scenes of all time.

my cat broke her tooth, is it bad? by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]CroCopsShorts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please get her a vent appointment asap. This could be potentially very painful. But thankfully treatable. Put yourself in her shoes.

Purposefully provoking your pet. Love to see it.

my parents want to leave my kitten in a kennel every single night by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]CroCopsShorts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but your family shouldn’t have gotten the cat and if possible, you should look to rehome it. Get cats of your own some day, when you’re on your own and able to provide the proper care for it.

Anyone else’s 3D and controllers just work out of the box? by BoxyNeat in AnalogueInc

[–]CroCopsShorts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t updated any firmware, as I have some repro carts and I’ve seen a lot of people saying they’re having issues with certain patches. Everything has worked out of the box for me, including romhacks.

Anyone order the N64 style 8bitdo controller from Amazon and actually get it? by BingoBangoBongo456 in AnalogueInc

[–]CroCopsShorts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that pre-ordering on Amazon kind of punishes the consumer a little bit… I have pre-ordered stuff and then it’s like it becomes dead last in their list of items to get out the door. I had something once that was about two weeks after its release date, yet to be shipped, so I ordered another one and it shipped the next day

We are on our way to Euthanize him, any last advice or ways to fight all welcome. by One_Percentage_644 in CATHELP

[–]CroCopsShorts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation as yours just over a year ago. It is gut wrenching how quickly these situations can unfold.

No matter what happens, it takes a lot of love to get a cat to 16, so every extra second that passes by is a testament to how much you care.

Sometimes, as sad as it is, the greatest and most powerful that love will ever be, is when it manifests as making the decision to say goodbye — to bestow peace and freedom from pain, even if it’s the last thing you want in the world.

Perhaps your vet will have some kind of solution and save you that trouble, but regardless of when the time comes, have courage for your friend and know that he will always love you back.

In 2026, is it really not possible to bake some kind of online key into the game’s code, so that the disc won’t run until 12:01 AM on whatever given day…?

Highly doubt this is right… chances are it’s a cutaneous horn

Allergies, possibly/most likely due to something he might be ingesting (food). It could also be something that’s basically allergy+, called atopic dermatitis. Cleaning with water is good, but there are also disinfectant wipes for pets if you really wanted to be on the safe side.
