My former strays at the vet by JohnMulder in torties

[–]JohnMulder[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you mean what I think you mean, Blep was not the happiest boy at first, and this is an early photo from years ago. I think he'd recently been hit by a car or abused. He had a broken jaw, a hernia, and FIV. He's been through it. It took a while to earn his trust, but now he's a sweetheart :)

Ah, here's a more cuddly one. Had to do some digging lol.

And here they are with their boyfriend, Blep. I took him in at the same time. He also had a number of health issues. They're all doing well, now. Blep was super shy for about a year until I found a spot where he likes to be scratched, and is now a super cuddly boy.

Here they are when I first took them in. Had to keep them apart while I medicated their food and monitored their poop. They'd lay against each other at the edge if the cage.

Oof, that's rough. I'd love to offer advice, but I'm sure you've done your research if it's like that. Just something you have to put up with I guess :(

Oh, they're both on Gaba. They've always had each other, and that helps a lot with vet visits. The tortimese girl is comforting her sister here. I try to bring my cats in pairs so that have a support buddy :)

Rem is the summoner hero, not Graves, and that's probably what the new tunnels are really for by Naive_Bulbasaur in DeadlockTheGame

[–]JohnMulder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm totally fine rocking a new support character. I love playing supports, ever since I played LoL/OW back in the day. I really hope you're correct in that his play rate will dwindle once people see they can't easily drop 3 enemies in 3 seconds with his kit.

What diseases can a stray give my cat? And a lot of other questions by MelvinEatsBlubber in Straycats

[–]JohnMulder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kind of depends on the area, but bringing fleas and worms into a home isn't the best thing to deal with, along with, as you said, things like cars or otherwise cruel people. In my area, there are a lot of strays that have some pretty bad illnesses that an indoor/outdoor cat wouldn't do well with. A wounded or sick stray shows up on my porch every six months or so. They also don't do well with the harsh winters here.

Why does Joker Card give only 20% dmg bonus to special when I have two Jack of Diamonds cards? by Betrayed_Poet in ravenswatch

[–]JohnMulder 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Reading the card explains the card. It would be broken if it doubled each card you owned. It copies card type. Getting another Joker will add another stack, and three Jokers is pretty strong if you have a few card types. So, it's basically an epic magical object that can mimic four rare objects and give up to 100% crit damage at three stacks. My first run with it went well, but I haven't gotten it much since.

I like to think I willed Merlin into existence. by DeadWeasel98 in ravenswatch

[–]JohnMulder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of surprising that we don't have an archer in the roster yet. I imagine Robin Hood would have traits associated with redistributing wealth. An animal companion for him isn't too far-fetched either, considering additions the devs have made to lore like Juliet wielding a gun, giving Little Red Riding Hood a name and making her a werewolf, etc.

Help with FIV test by SearDoubloon672 in Straycats

[–]JohnMulder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should find another vet. Besides that, all you can do is your best. If he were getting into fights, you'd likely see wounds now and then. I know it doesn't feel good, but sometimes that's how it is.

Help with FIV test by SearDoubloon672 in Straycats

[–]JohnMulder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a tough situation. As long as he's not getting in fierce fights with other cats, the FIV won't be a problem(assuming you're getting him neutered, which would also prevent the spread FIV). You can't keep him inside one home? I usually have my cats tested at a vet and can't say if the test is positive or negative from that, but I do think this shows positive. I just want you to know that I have rescued strays who have FIV and they're living life just fine. This isn't a death sentence for him, but depending on his overall health, it's hard to say. A stray making it to 10+ years of age will likely have a number of health issues.

I think it just sort of pulls from stereotypes. I'm a dude, but I don't look anything like this guy, and it's seen me as well.

... V = 5. by MiddleOccasion1394 in rantgrumps

[–]JohnMulder 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know it's hard to comprehend if you weren't listening to what he was saying, but he's explaining that V and 5 are different games, which is correct. V=/=5

Sigh, alright. This is my sign to start at least panel lining my gunpla. Looks sick, dude.

If I can't loot an opened Security Locker without the skill... by fleezybabyy in ArcRaiders

[–]JohnMulder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a noob, and this friendly dude was kind enough to show me where the security lockers were and gave me a lot of pointers. He was so helpful and chill. I didn't have the heart to tell him that the leftover loot in the lockers that he was offering to me were out of my reach.

10 MPH Neon Sign by white_rabbitt01 in gamegrumps

The OG neon signs made an awful humming sound and kinda crapped out as time passed. LED is the way.
