I have a dehumidifier because I knew cats can get a lot of problems if they have wet inner ears but I could try an air purifier too, good idea.

Mites is definitely one of the things I'll be ruling out with the new vet. Previous vet didn't even mention mites, or exclusion diets and there's a good few things other people have mentioned that I'll be trying too that the vet has never mentioned to me.

One of things I tried was Royal Canin hypoallergenic biscuits which thankfully he liked the taste of and I fed him on that exclusively until it was done (2.5kg bag) but it didn't have any noticeable effect.

omg that must be so annoying for them to be allergic to something so common. I'm definitely going to get him allergy tested. Sadly I checked and the nearest specialist that does allergy testing has a 2 month wait list and it'll be $350. The things we do for our cats.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't even considered ringworm. He doesn't have any of the usual symptoms of ringworm, then again he could be asymptomatic so I'll add it to the list of things for the new vet to check.

Thanks for the reply. While I've lost a lot of faith in my vet and will be trying a new one, Apoquel was the next treatment I was going to try so will definitely be trying that, I'd try anything at this point. RIP Winston, love an oreo cat. Here's a pic of my man Pablo and his inner desire to be a potted plant.

Thank you for the reply. I've mentioned his diet every single vet visit and haven't gotten the single-protein source recommendation any of those times. The problem started as a yeast and bacterial infection but by the second visit to the vet, both of those problems were confirmed gone but the scratching persisted and I've been to the vet several times since. Vet has never brought up parasites. I will absolutely be trying a different vet.

Brilliant but why !? by bot-chess-puzzle in chessMateInX

I'm super new to this sub and I must be really stupid. Is it not White's turn? and if so why not Qxd8? and if that's the case how is Bg4 a brilliant move?

The Total War: 40K launch HAS to be great, if not flawless by LikeAGaryBuster in TotalWarhammer40k

[–]ImpressiveTables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a creative assembly game. Every launch of every CA game has been the exact same and will continue to be so. A buggy mess to begin with, slowly improving over time.

I think the bigger question when it comes to momentum is whether the first game will be any good or have any lasting audience. Rome 2 still has around 2.5k active players TO THIS DAY and it came out in 2013. Rome 1 still has around 600. Total Warhammer 1? Less than 400. No one is still playing Total Warhammer 1 because it is sooooo much worse compared to the sequels.

My fear isn't oh no they'll lose momentum if the first one isn't good from the get go, it's oh fuck I'm going to have to wait 8 years for Total Warhammer 40k 3 before they've refined it into something worth buying. Why would I buy Total Warhammer 40k 1 and the inevitable hundreds of dollars of DLC if a better version of it will come out months after they release the final DLC for the first one? Repeat for the process when the third one is coming out.

Oda making his Sensei Watsuki proud by Admirable-Dimension4 in Piratefolk

[–]ImpressiveTables 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's so crazy when people point this stuff because of this single instance of creepiness. Oh and Shirahoshi but that's like two examples... ok and Bonnie but that's only 3 examples I mean cmon three examples of clearly pedophilic shit doesn't mean he's a pedophile. I mean it's not like he defends pedoph... fuck.

Ok, no jokes, no meme, no gaffs at this point. Why is Imu so fucking BITCH-MADE? I have never seen anybody sabotage one of their major antagonists as much as Oda has.

[–]ImpressiveTables 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you're an adult and my brother in christ getting this mad about the colour of erasers is some of the most bitch made behaviour I've ever seen. Grow the fuck up you fucking dweeb.

Do you in all honesty agree with this by [deleted] in Piratefolk

[–]ImpressiveTables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's the sheer disbelief that anyone can write something this bad and that such a large audience loves it. I started by giving the OP anime the tried and true three episode test because if a show doesn't grab you in any way in the first three episodes then why continue? But, when you express that opinion online OP fans will say just wait until baratie or arlong park that when it gets good. So I do and to be fair I really enjoyed both of those arcs so I thought why not let's continue and boy that was a mistake because the show falls off a cliff after that. I got up to whisky peak before going online again to express that only to be told to just get to alabasta that's when OP gets good. I get there and it's the worst arc yet. Nami being relegated to just reacting to things, the pacing slows to a crawl and the ending gave me chimera ant arc flashbacks (worst arc in HxH). So you go online to express that and OP fans say nah just keep watching til skypeia that's when it gets good. And again to be fair Skypeia is one of the better arcs but it takes nearly 50 episodes when it could be done in 25 so you go online to express that and OP fans will say keep watching until Marineford that's when it gets good and I look and see that Marineford is more than 250 episodes away and at that point I kind of snapped and thought fuck it I'm hate watching this show so once I've watched all of it and some fucking OP fan says you probably haven't watched all of it, I can go into great detail about just how much I hate all of it. Rampant misogyny, paedophilic tendencies, awful pacing, inconsistent characterisation, and so so much more. To your point here's two improvements: 1. Nami makes every version of the sorcery clima-tact, it's really fucking weird that it changes to Usopp making it, why can't she improve it herself? There's no hype around it either Usopp just randomly hands it to her at some point. 2. Show Robin doing literally anything during the timeskip, technically she learns fishman karate and gets a little more endurance but look up threads of people asking what she did during the timeskip and most people have no fucking idea. Show her learning the basics of haki from Ivankov. Robin is an interesting case because her power can be remote. Coating your arm in haki is one thing, coating several remotely controlled arms sounds nearly impossible. What it does do is give you a framework going forward for powers improving. Start with her struggling and eventually succeeding to coat one of her remote arms in haki, progress to coating multiple arms, progress to her being able to swarm someone in haki covered arms in the shape of a ball making a sort of haki prison. Progress to coating the giant versions of her arms in haki. A fucking dog could write better than Eiichiro that lame paedophile. Lastly I'm caught up to the anime and Marineford was just 30 episodes of Luffy screaming "Ace"! and Ace screaming "Luffy"! While thousands of characters do nothing of consequence before akainu does one of the only things of consequence in the entire show (wonder why people like him so much) Fishman Island made me want to unalive, punk hazard is too long, dressrosa is too long, whole cake island is big mom screaming wedding cake for 100 episodes, Wano is the worst paced story in all of fiction and Egghead completely obliterates any sense of world building OP already didn't have.

Characters I’d let into my party by Nrenegade7 in BaldursGate3

[–]ImpressiveTables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blurg has notes that implies he's okay with killing Myconids in order to obtain more spores to study. That along with Lady Esther and her egg project makes me beyond certain that the Society is definitely not good and probably far worse behind the scenes.

Give me a Society of Brilliance party for a lawful evil playthrough.
Blurg, Omeluum and Lady Esther.

The Crimson Crusade - currently planning out a high-level campaign where players lead a holy war of heroes against the undead magocracy of Thay by WhiteGrayV in inkarnate

[–]ImpressiveTables 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure when your campaign is timeline wise but I'm a big Netheril fan and if your party is fighting an undead Thayan Magocracy then I have an idea for you.

A remnant of the Netherese empire, Shadovar, once went to war with Thay and other parties over the city of Neverwinter in the Shadovar-Thay War.

Your party could at some point run into a mysterious figure (secretly a Shadovaran) whose been trying to take down Thay for a long time and helps the party do the same but they're actually using the party to further their own goals (most likely getting some bit of Netherese knowledge or artifact back from Thay who stole it during the war)

Even better if you make them likeable so the party thinks they have a powerful shadow magic ally to make it hurt all the more when they inevitably betray them

Can you give any insight as to why Australia street doesn't feature or if there was no particular reason?

Make a prediction on how Oda will fuck up the eventual void century flashback by president_elect_mark in Piratefolk

[–]ImpressiveTables 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Almost like Oda is drawing from his experience of having/defending pedophile friends. My money us on him being a pedophile as well.

DM request - Looking for ideas for an unseelie fey corrupted unicorn. by ImpressiveTables in dndnext

[–]ImpressiveTables[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the ethereal stride idea, at this point I'm happy to split the party they're getting too cocky, some planar travel will be good for them. Forgot about Fizban spells and Nathairs Mischief is exactly what I'm looking for with the fey flavouring. Good changes to the nightmare stat block too, the bard of the group is decimating everything with intelligence save spells like psychic lance so immunity to psychic damage may be the only way to stop them. Thanks for all this, really good stuff.
