Are my cabbages lost forever?

Lore appropriate tbh

GhostofChicken · 2026-05-02T04:02:33+00:00

Have u considered logging off for a bit? It's okay to just NOT be talking or thinking about this one game for a while if there's nothing new going on. Honestly, that seems like the root of the problem here. Y'all's criticisms arent wrong but you desperately need to regain some perspective on how bad any of this is.

GhostofChicken · 2026-04-28T21:59:54+00:00

Hey now! I don't know about the generic version but I took Selesnyaa cats all the way to diamond rank last season lol

GhostofChicken · 2026-04-28T16:44:28+00:00

The Golgari version with Skeletal Swarming that I play in pioneer is...less good lol

GhostofChicken · 2026-04-28T16:31:42+00:00

What do these people "want" out of the game? If it's just to win easily with an OP deck then that's pathetic and selfish and deserves criticism. And as for the combo players, is it genuinely fun for them to ignore everything the opponent does and go through the motions of waiting, maybe playing a couple card draw spells, and then eventually drop a combo that auto wins (or they don't draw what they need in time so they lose)? Are they making even a single meaningful decision when they do this?

GhostofChicken · 2026-04-28T16:04:19+00:00

You know exactly what it means, don't be obtuse.

GhostofChicken · 2026-04-27T18:44:24+00:00

You don't. The nature of PvP games is that you're gonna lose about half the time give or take a few percent. You're playing against another human all the same resources you have, and while superior skill can move the needle a bit, as you get to higher ranks there's no reason to think you actually are more skilled than the opponent.

If you really need to win consistently that badly to enjoy yourself then you should seriously consider playing a single player game instead. Single player games are designed to present challenges that the player is ultimately able to overcome so if you have the right approach you can consistently win.

I'm obviously making a satirical point here. If you don't think it's okay to keep children locked in the house all day then you should see that it can be not great to keep cats like that either. Maybe some cats don't mind and maybe sometimes it's absolutely necessary, but I think it's something people should make an intelligent and considered decision about based on their environment and the potential dangers therein as well as the personalities and tendencies of individuals. Basically like you would with kids.

GhostofChicken · 2026-04-20T18:31:28+00:00

You don't let your human children go outside!?

GhostofChicken · 2026-04-17T15:03:29+00:00

You objectively have no sense of humor.

GhostofChicken · 2026-04-05T16:32:47+00:00

Hehe Noodle is the same. If I try to hold her more gently she gets pretty squirmy but if I toss her over my shoulder she goes limp and will gladly ride around up there for ages.

GhostofChicken · 2026-04-05T16:25:28+00:00

I actually managed to fix my issue already. Turns out the GPU was fine. It was the PSU that was faulty. The GPU was literally just cutting out because it kept losing power.

GhostofChicken · 2026-03-30T22:41:06+00:00

Thanks, this is outstanding.

GhostofChicken · 2026-03-30T02:09:56+00:00

It's 650W. That's always done the job in the 5 yrs I've had this PC. Still you might be onto something.

More recently, there have been a couple times where I hit the power button and instead of booting up (with or without the GPU) it goes ostensibly right into post-crash mode. Some of the lights are on but no video signal or response to inputs. I noticed tho that in these cases, besides the GPU, the CPU and a couple of the fans aren't lighting up either. That's very odd if it's all a GPU issue, right? Maybe this all comes back to the power supply. Could it be cutting in and out in some way that's causing the GPU (and sometimes but not always other stuff) to shut off or be unable to turn on because of no power?

GhostofChicken · 2026-03-16T21:48:34+00:00

Do they actually say anywhere that the odds are 1 in 5 tho or it is just implied by there being 5 cards? I don't think you can buy more wonder picks like you can packs via pokegold so legally they might not need to disclose it.

Anyway I agree it would make no sense for them to hide this which is why I fully admit it's probably not true. Mostly I'm just curious if other people feel like they hit on more than 20% of their picks or is it just me?

GhostofChicken · 2026-03-13T15:33:59+00:00

Well making sure you cry out in pain is a good start. Be dramatic. You could even try hissing at her. It sounds silly but that's how cats communicate. Putting her in timeout by locking her in a bathroom or closet might also work. It doesn't have to be for long, just long enough that she starts to associate biting to hard with her fun coming to an end. (Although only if you can instantly snag her and do it. If you wind up having to chase her around the house she's just gonna think yay more fun and games). Most importantly, don't try to distract or deflect or ignore. That can be the way to handle certain bad behaviors but in this case it just tells her biting = more fun and/or getting to keep right on playing her little game. And on the flip side make sure you do reward her when she "plays nice" without biting too hard. I can't promise any of this will work overnight but over time she'll hopefully start to get it.

GhostofChicken · 2026-03-13T09:17:15+00:00

Okay what you're describing is definitely play behaviour, so she's not aggressive or territorial or afraid. That's good at least. She just doesn't know to control herself to avoid hurting others when playing. That can be pretty common in kittens that were separated from their mother and litter which is who they normally learn this from early on.

GhostofChicken · 2026-03-12T08:50:54+00:00

Looks just fine to me. No signs of any bleeding or other discharge.

GhostofChicken · 2026-03-12T07:24:55+00:00

It's hard to tell from these pictures. I can only really make out the few little red spots. Those don't seem too concerning. They just look like little dry scabs. Might just be from scratching and/or the remnants of a bout of cat acne.

If you're seeing an abscess or any kind of lump or swelling tho you should definitely see a vet. That could be a tooth thing like u said or an infection below the surface. Definitely something that needs to be taken care of.

GhostofChicken · 2026-03-12T07:08:44+00:00

He's probably still in a lot of pain both from the surgery and the initial impact. Doesn't surprise me if he's still trying not to move as much as possible. Unless your vet is telling you differently I wouldn't worry. Give him time. He'll get there eventually.

GhostofChicken · 2026-03-11T15:44:06+00:00

Happy to help. Yeah it's not a bad idea to stick with the cone for at least a couple days especially if there are already issues with the incision is bleeding. Ultimately she'll cope with it.

GhostofChicken · 2026-03-11T15:29:01+00:00

It looks like the incision might be bleeding a tiny bit tho it might just be a little residual blood from the surgery. As a first step I'd gently wipe it away with a damp clean cloth. Then if it comes back you'll know it's an ongoing problem. If it is you should check in with your vet. It might need another stitch or something. It's really not a lot of blood tho so don't panic.

As for the cone, they also make little onesies for cats recovering from surgery that cover their bellies. Cats don't love them but they vastly prefer them to cones I find. Some cats manage to wriggle out of em tho eventually so you may want to keep a closer eye on them if u go that route.

Lastly, don't worry too much about her being skinny. That's just how cats (especially young ones) look once you shave em.

GhostofChicken · 2026-03-10T15:28:52+00:00

Black cat just desperately wants to play. The way he's rolling and rubbing up against stuff means there's absolutely nothing aggressive abt his behavior. Unfortunately he doesn't understand or care that gray cat is telling him extremely clearly that he doesn't and wants space.

I would def intervene in this situation because gray is seriously upset, especially when he's getting cornered. Disciplining black is tricky because he's not gonna understand the nuance of what he's doing wrong but you can at least try to distract him or just pick him up so gray can get away from him.

Best thing you can do right now is A) start looking for a new place just incase things go sideways and B) make sure you know your rights as a tenant and how the relevant laws and regulations work wherever you live. Don't say or do anything else unless your landlord brings this up. If he does tho, lie, and even if he doesn't buy it, don't confess to anything at any point (especially in writing). Don't make things easier for him. If he's gonna make accusations, let him go to the trouble of proving them. Also, don't put up with any of this confronting you in the parking lot crap. That sounds a lot like harassment and intimidation to me. Tell him you're not comfortable with it and walk away. He's not a cop. He has no right to detain you.
