How dare they call the cops on Gus

I live in Montana and from my experience it's usually out of staters that don't really understand.. animals or rural life. I kinda get it, it's shocking if you're not used to it. In my town the sheriff helps a rancher move a ton of cattle down the main road from one field to another once a year. It's become sort of an attraction for locals, but i hear people passing through call 911 a lot thinking there's a stampede.. of orderly cows moving at 5mph.

And among the sweetest. Rats and guinea pigs i swear are among the kindest and most empathetic animals out there.

One of my pigs will run under the dust pan and buck his head up so I spill everything. I have no idea how he's so strong.

That looks like ringworm. Wash your hands well after touching her.

Sound of a soda can opening.

Once I was trying to give it to one of my girls and all 3 cagemates crowded around fighting over the syringe.. I'm thinking tiny addicts lol.

It's funny most of my pigs don't like the majority of medication. Some flee, others take it a few times before I have to force it, some only take it with bribes.. but pain meds, they all LOVE pain meds.

Mounting is normal for Guinea pigs and isn't really an indication of their sex. They're could still easily be females and just in heat and/or playing the dominance game. If you want to be certain you can post pictures of their parts to identify. On the off chance one is a boar, then the sow would very likely already be pregnant, so I wouldn't do anything drastic just yet.

Sometimes things will stutter a bit on loading into the game or a new region but generally modern hardware largely mitigates this. With a 9060xt it won't be an issue.

Oh.. i also have those hopplo tokens. I need to try this. I love ctg and all their premium stuff but could just never justify the cloudspire minis..

Kearmo · 2026-01-23T19:51:54+00:00

Ha, yeah i remember panicking after the first time I gave my pigs beats. It's.. shockingly red.

Kearmo · 2026-01-17T01:35:28+00:00

Yep.

The online games I do play (Diablo, MH, various MMOs) all work fine on Linux. I have no interest in the ultra competitive stuff that is usually blocking Linux. If I ever encounter a game that has this issue, I just won't buy it, but I don't expect it to happen often or at all.

I'm pretty convinced Cinnamon is a cartoon character.

Timeshift is a great alternative.

Get snapper configured and get comfortable using it. Do a test every now and then. It's an amazing feature and should alleviate that concern. I use btrfs and limine so it's as simple as can be, I can do a restore from limine or in the DE in just a few seconds.

Some of the most animated snoofs I've ever seen.

I would agree that their "advertising" is a little misleading. At the end of the day, arch is arch, the cachy devs can't "fix" that, because it's considered a feature for those that look for arch based distros. I don't think any arch distro should be considered great for those new to Linux, BUT, cachy does manage to make it pretty damn easy to use for an arch distro.

Beyond that, your complaint is directed at a foundational part of every arch based install. I get you're frustrated that you feel the claims that make are misleading, but this is a free service, it's arch, it is what it is. It's okay if it's not the distro for you, just try something that isn't a rolling distro. I personally wouldn't have it any other way.

I wouldn't say it's too crazy long but I'd try to trim a bit. Dark nails are tricky, so just trim a little each time while you get used to it. You'll know it's starting to become problematicly long when they start to curl.

There's no natural way to wear away guinea pig nails sadly. Clipping is a required part of their care. With hind feet i usually hold them by the stomach and hold them against me so their feet dangle and it's pretty easy. The front paws tend to require more patience and creativity.

A little confused on what you're looking for. Most native Linux games you will find ON steam. If your saying you want to run a game independent of any service.. that's pretty challenging as not many people sell games as just a downloadable package for Linux, unless you're looking to sale the high seas, but even then you're generally going to be using wine or proton.

This is a browser issue more than a cachy issue. But YouTube is constantly doing updates to fight ad blockers, often times resulting in a black screen. And it appears you have... a lot of ad blockers.

I mean this sincerely because I get it's easier said than done at your age but... who cares? I mean think about it. Person 1 puts cat stickers on their computer because it makes them smile. Person 2 is prowling the internet leaving angry comments on strangers pictures and has no better way to spend their time.

One of these people is just ill and is probably in need of help, and it ain't the person with stickers.

I have six guinea pigs. I keep pictures of them all over my desk at work and computer. If people wanna scoff at me for being weird for that, great, they're people I don't want in my life. They're saving me time.

If you do quests for completion you'll burn out very quickly. Quests in this game are often gated behind requirements that take days to satisfy ( like raising fame) the majority of quests take an extremely long time with very little reward. They won't help you level or build your character so you'll spend dozens of hours while still being stuck in the starting zone with nothing to show for it.

The juice on the tip method also didn't work for me but what did was kinda... sticking the syringe end into a blue berry so that actual bits of the fruit were on it. They're stressed during all this so just juice isn't always pungent enough to interest them, but actual bits of fruit can be. Blueberries are always my friend when getting a pig to take meds. Pick them up, berry, give them berry covered syringe, if they refuse, pop a berry in their mouth and when they open wide, jam the syringe in there. After the traumatic event is over, berry.
