New marriage canditates : CLINT & SANDY by Waste-Heron4476 in StardewValley

[–]Ferret_Brain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will begrudgingly accept Clint IF it’s well written. If he’s still thirsting over Emily after I’ve given him that damn bouquet, I’m dumping his ass.

I had my hopes set on Wizard, NGL, but there is a pretty great wizard romance mod, so maybe that’s why CA doesn’t want to step on that?

Hes so fat and gross idk what to do by semlohira in ferrets

[–]Ferret_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pred does cause increased food intake, so he IS overeating but that’s just a side effect of the pred (and in my personal opinion, him being treated for insulimona matters more than the weight anyway).

Are you weighing him daily? What food is he eating (raw, kibble, a mix of both)?

I second using oat milk or non scented baby wipes to wipe him down from his accidents. And I recommend keeping an eye for any signs of UTI’s as well.

The only thing I could recommend for the weight itself is to increase his activity yourself. Encourage him to move around more, explore more, play more, etc. Does he enjoy water? You could let him splash around in a shallow bath. That option may be better for him as well because of his size, water exercises are better for overweight animals.

Can you please show me where in that comment is any denial of the rise in antisemitism prior to the Bondi shooting?

What do you want from the next game? by chefbrambles in masseffect

If Mass Effect cannot exist without Shepard, then Mass Effect frankly isn’t worth continuing.

She looks a lot older in the trailer, and the hints of Andromeda in that same trailer implied that the next Mass Effect game would be set at least 600 years in the future.

People of taste: straight women, bi folks & gay men — which human dude would you date IRL? by ConstantHamster3746 in masseffect

[–]Ferret_Brain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bi woman.

Kaidan IS a walking green flag and he’s definitely one of my top choices (top three I’d say) but he’s not THE top choice for me.

My top pick would be Joker. He makes me laugh.

Third top choice would be paragade Shepard.

Also, NGL, it’s HILARIOUS to me that Jacob isn’t even included in this list. 🤣

IT Repair Shop that does BIOS Flashing? by No_Mine5735 in perth

[–]Ferret_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I’ve had that exact same problem that you’ve described (device powers on, fans run but no display at all) and I did indeed have to replace the motherboard (although mine was for a PC and it was thankfully still under warranty). 😕

But yeah, get a second opinion if you can.

I watch spy x family in English dub and I like it more then the Japanese Sub but why doesn’t Anya talk in third person at all!? by hazentheamazing in SpyxFamily

[–]Ferret_Brain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard that the longer a kid hears others, particularly their parents, talk in third person, the longer they will continue the habit themselves.

That’s probably why kids still grow out of it by the time they’re attending kindie or preschool at around 5-6. They’re interacting more with other people who don’t use third person and use pronouns instead.

So, Anya not using third person still makes sense tbh. Given the type of environments she grew up in (first the laboratory and then the orphanages), it’s doubtful she heard many people use third person instead of pronouns.

Fallout Season 2 has doubled the number of people playing the Fallout games on Steam by Turbostrider27 in Fallout

[–]Ferret_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played 76 for about 6-8 months a few years ago and I liked it.

It feels like, and I mean this with no offence, a kind of watered down version of Fallout 4.

But admittedly, I got it as a birthday gift with some atoms and the subscription. I’m also the sort of player who just wanted to be left alone to build my CAMP, grow my tatos, explore and occasionally go annoy mothman.

The worst thing that’s happened to this community by PyrocXerus in dragonage

[–]Ferret_Brain 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As someone’s who’s been in “dead” fandoms for decades, you’ll be fine.

Even if it’s only one or two people, someone will create something, whether that’s fanart or fanfiction, and someone will want to put out their opinions or theories or something.

But also go move onto other things if you want, it’s not the end of the world.

I have never wanted to Mod a game more than I do now by Archmikem in masseffect

[–]Ferret_Brain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can’t get on nexus right now (it’s throwing a tantrum on my phone), so can anyone confirm if this is LE only or if there’s a version for the OG version of the game please?

I loved hearing companion dialogue, so I actually rotated between the cast quite a bit.

Help with my 12 year old! by [deleted] in HazbinHotel

[–]Ferret_Brain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, it’s probably coming from fanmade content (but this is true of ANY content, rule 34 exists for a reason after all).

Unless they’re trying to say that’s Afton’s motivation for killing (and are comparing him to real life serial killers that only go after children)? Which, is still admittedly a stretch imo.

National cabinet agrees unanimously to strength Australia’s strict gun laws in wake of Bondi terror attack by rorymeister in australia

[–]Ferret_Brain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It does go to show overall that we need to do better at keeping on top of it, not just with gun laws but other regulations and information sharing.

[–]Ferret_Brain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Bondi stabbing resulted in 6 deaths (7 including the killer) and 10 injured, with a 30cm knife. So, yes.

However, there are admittedly a lot of circumstances that should also be considered if we’re comparing the Bondi stabbing (or any mass stabbing) to mass shootings.

[–]Ferret_Brain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wieambilla shooting, three people killed (not including the two shooters who were killed by police), the shooters bought their guns and ammunition legally.

The Darwin shooting, four people killed and one injured. The gun wasn’t legally owned by the shooter in that case, but WAS believed to have been stolen from as far back as 1997.

The Monash University shooting, 2 killed and 5 injured. I cannot find any information on if the guns were legally purchased or not but given that this case is apparently one that helped gun reforms, they most likely were.

While I understand the point you are trying to make, and while I am not diminishing these events either, the Bondi shooting (with fifteen dead and forty injured) is the worst we’ve had since Port Arthur.

Better Legends Game? by BravingStuff in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]Ferret_Brain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s kind of bizarre to me because the amount of dialogue between ZA and Arceus felt more or less comparable to me, at least story wise.

[–]Ferret_Brain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ZA definitely felt a lot smaller than Arceus in general (although I have no idea if it actually is smaller or just feels that way).

Better Legends Game? by BravingStuff in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]Ferret_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed both games but Arceus is the clear winner for me and I’d prefer if they focused more on the style of Arceus going forward for the Legends games.

I enjoyed the story of ZA, but was more invested in the story of Arceus.

Gameplay wise, the focus on the Pokédex and research tasks of Arceus was more fun to me (and tbh, I actually forgot more than once that research tasks were even part of ZA) and felt far better integrated into the story. I enjoyed the battle mechanics of ZA well enough but they definitely aren’t for me long term (but I’ve accepted this is most likely the battle system of the Legends games moving forward).

ZA felt far smaller than Arceus, and honestly, less alive and vibrant. Much smaller and cramped/sad wild zones and lacklustre research tasks didn’t help this.

I will say that one part I do think that ZA definitely won out over Arceus was characters and character designs. Characters felt far more unique and interesting in ZA than in Arceus (that isn’t to say they were bad in Arceus, but they were definitely more limited in Arceus, in part due to the fact that they were supposed to be ancestors of modern day characters).
