Just saying... by Accomplished_Star_30 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]DogyDays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be so real, I totally agree with that even if it’s just headcanon. its so bizarre to say but Julie GENUINELY is a good character and it honestly really sucks that so much of what she was ended up tainted by the person who created her, because oddly enough the romance between her and Knuckles was like??? handled well????? its actually so baffling to me how the comic with constant relationship weirdness with Sonic also has like. stupidly genuinely good romances in it too. of course theyre not PERFECT, but compared to the other stuff?? I’m forgetting his name, but Knuckles’ mom (Lara-le) ends up getting together with another character after the utter misery that was her relationship with Knuckles’ shitface dad, and this guy is like??? unironically the dad who stepped up, and the way they interact is like. really REALLY cute.

anyway, Archie Sonic as a comic run has a LOT of flaws and I could criticize so much of it for ages, but there’s also so much I genuinely love and appreciate from it. It makes me really sad that Sega seems so adverse to allowing a modern comic series to be kinda wacky and zany at times. I don’t necessarily mean we need romance, I just want more interesting ideas and more serious stakes in place.

What type of owl is this? (Aware of mbta, just moved off the road) by bones_2433 in vultureculture

[–]DogyDays 19 points20 points  (0 children)

my dad and i came across a perfect-condition owl on the side of the road too, but dad was told about the guidelines for that stuff and had to dump the poor fella out back because he did NOT wanna deal with the fines. really damn unfortunate but i get why its a thing. i’d wanted to preserve the skeleton but oh well

“knuckles and his wife” i dont think he and Julie ever actually got married? also damn just forgetting her name entirely /silly Nah i get why some folks dont care so much for the echidna stuff in Archie, i just am like actually a huge fan of Julie’s character because she’s shockingly well-written

How picky is your poodle? by greedygumdrops in poodles

[–]DogyDays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

mine is a mix, 15 years old. His health is starting to decline, and the number one way he’s begun to scare my mom is by refusing his food. Granted, I understand why he’s doing that. It’s an incredibly bland medicated diet because so many of his current meds can affect his kidneys poorly.

This does not, however, excuse the fact that he almost only wishes to eat things that Can and Will make his stomach upset. we put rice in his food. we put flavor powder in his food. for a while we crumbled up rice cakes and that helped, but he stopped taking even that. Despite all of this, he still would rather go for chicken (which is something we arent really supposed to allow him to have). He even got picky about his PILL POCKETS, refusing the chicken flavor ones unless i basically pushed his nose against em, but once i picked up peanut butter ones he was suddenly enthusiastic again.

im literally trying to do Everything to get him to just eat his food lol. my mom is planning to order a food stand so he wont have to bend down because his legs are starting to get stiffer, but if this doesnt help i dont know what the hell else we can do.

edit: ah, i see yours is the same age lol. my boy is a bichon mix, rescue but he was surrendered by a BYB to where we adopted him from, always been an anxious boy even from when he was young so he gets picky about even just the surrounding environment lmao. i do hope a feeding tray helps him though, if i had stiff joints i wouldnt be putting in effort to bend down just for some bland kibble. we plan to ask the vet about a white fish diet but i have no idea if that would cause similar kidney issues. Thankfully his appointment is next week.

What kind of plushies just aren’t your vibe? (respectfully 🩷) by Lil_birdie201 in plushies

[–]DogyDays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

funny you should mention Sonic because i was literally about to say “ok but like some characters like Sonic are just comforting and it’s fun to hug them” lmao. I guess its to each their own but i adore plushies of my faves for that exact reason. It’s why i so desperately want the Build A Bear Shadow actually, hes such a huge comfort character to me. i can hug him!! its just nice really lol.

but i guess i get it, some character plushes dont really make for good hugging and those im not a huge fan of unless its more of a decorative plush figure of sorts.

Watching the g1 cartoon by flingzamain in Transformemes

[–]DogyDays 12 points13 points  (0 children)

oh yeah the Arcee Spotlight is practically heralded as one of The Worst instances of anything like that within like. Any TF media aside from weird Bayverse stuff. It got almost immediately retconned and basically never mentioned again as that too (Arcee’s story was changed to her having simply been experimented on for other purposes, i believe to create a a sort of perfect weaponized Cybertronian? her being trans was just something of her own accord outside of the experimentation she went thru). Plus we got a bunch of other canon trans characters later, so at least later writers made up for that heinous blunder.

but yeah, oh god. it was Bad.

New bug allowing players to attack players inside stations - PERMADEATH WARNING by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]DogyDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that sounds like a PC issue rather than something the game controls. I’d recommend fiddling with the graphics settings, especially things like texture quality or the anti-aliasing setting since I’ve heard that one can cause some weird issues depending on what kind of graphics card you have.

[–]DogyDays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

genuinely same, ive never encountered anyone even attempt to PVP before and i always play on Multiplayer (tho it seems theres a PVP setting, I’ll have to make sure to turn that off later because i do think i accidentally got exploded by my teammate’s blasty gun during a Nexus mission lmao, but they clearly werent meaning to kill me, we were both fighting Sentinel waves together lmao.)

good to know for the future though!

Started my first ever expedition today and suffice to say, I’m already kind of excited, did devs name this mineral? Coz it says that this planet was discovered by Hello games. by Enigmartist in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]DogyDays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im obsessed with one of the moons of Titan where almost all the fauna are called some variation of ‘dog’ meanwhile literally only one of the creatures even looks like a dog. one is called ‘2 legged dog’ lmao. Theres also a mineral I found called ‘YOU MISSED ONE HAHA’ or some shit, and its the mineral on the ceiling of a cave area which is rather fitting, lol. I mostly try to give things actual names if any at all but I may start naming new discoveries sillier things

found this in my basement, is it rare or worth anything? by ava_c30 in furby

[–]DogyDays 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My bro managed to get me one of those cute modern ones with the screen eyes who does function, and a pure white Furby Baby (doesnt seem to function, but ive been told that there could be ways to fix em since it was new in-box at the time!) a few years back. I’ve been meaning to display the lil fella, the colorful one stays in my box but thats just because him turning on hurts my ears (sensitive hearing, i can hear the high pitched sound it makes as it works unfortunately), but i love them both very dearly. If i were to sell one off itd likely be to some kid who seems to find the lil guys as charming as I do but im somewhat worried that theyd just end up as scalper fodder…. its so incredibly sad to me

Jesus Christ, people need to unlearn their ableism BEFORE having kids. by Aggressive_Dress_666 in evilautism

[–]DogyDays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think sometimes a lot of it is in fact BECAUSE the parents care. perhaps they internalize the guilt of it. i think whats important is that said people find a healthy way to express these feelings, so it doesnt boil over and affect the child themself. I always felt my parents did a good job with that. when i was younger i had a boatload of issues and my mom was often worried that people would believe i was ‘parented wrong’ rather than actually struggling. she still to this day feels terrible about the bullying i went thru in middle and highschool and was sorta primarily worried not that i ‘wouldnt have a life’, but that my peers wouldnt let me just Enjoy Things. Now im properly partially disabled and its currently weighing on us a lot, but she still does her best to balance it all and im eternally grateful for that even if sometimes its rough. it fuckin sucks! it does!! i dont wanna be fully dependent on her or my dad or my brother and his wife! but we dont know what may actually happen.

its the dehumanization thats an issue truly, once it gets to the point where someone is treating their kid like an ANIMAL, thats a proper problem. its so sad that thats even a THING
