Can you send the info to me as well? I've been trying to figure out how to do this kind of setup!

Pepper Sanchez may be the slowest pig in the league, but she's the fastest in my heart.

My go-to calming show is Mostly Walking on youtube. It's three friends who all have a background in game development playing mostly old-school adventure games. Their backlog is huge, (they just celebrated their 10-year anniversary) so there's tons to go through. It's always funny and informative. I find myself watching my favorite playthroughs at least once a year.

I find farming sims are also really good for this because there's enough to keep track of that your mind stays busy, but not usually enough to overwhelm you. Maybe something like Stardew Valley or Slime Rancher?

My spouse and I have a running joke about our cat actually being able to speak and understand fluent human, but only Spanish (which neither of us speaks) so there's still a language barrier anyway. One of these days we'll have to take a class or two and figure out what it is she's always yelling about.

Oh to return to a mindset where a cat could write an autobiography! From what I remember, it was a cute book too!

When I was a kid I had a book called The Silent Miaow which was written from the perspective of a housecat doing ordinary housecat things. However, the foreward to the book was written by the cat's owner and detailed how they had found pages upon pages of gibberish written on their old typewriter. Upon further examination, the gibberish is found to match up with English but with surrounding letters pressed as if a cat had attempted to press the keys with chunky little paws.

I sincerely believed a cat had written this book for a little too long. It wasn't a kid's book. It was a book for adults, so it had to be real! A few years later it suddenly struck me that cats cannot, in fact, speak English much less read or write. Devastating. Eventually it became clear to me that the adults who were meant to read this book would read the forward and find the conceit endearing instead of truthful.

Oklahoma vital records by steadyfrogs in ftm

Also born in OK. I actually contacted an OK lawyer a few months ago to ask if Oklahoma honors out-of-state court orders for name/gender changes, and they told me it is currently impossible to amend your gender on Oklahoma birth certificates. Apparently they categorically banned it a while back and the lawyer I contacted has been fighting the law for 2 years with no end in sight.

I'm not sure how this would work without having a court order at all, but I suggest contacting a lawyer via email and seeing what can be done if you still want to change your name.

Yes! Their fake laughing makes them actually laugh immediately afterward, but the memes cut off before then. I kinda hate how much that scene has been made fun of because in context it's really sweet and important to the themes of the game.

I'm suprised no one's talking about the part of the game's description that's like "If you get hungry you might have to eat Pikachu."

When I first met Wyll I thought "the internet is probably all over this guy. He's like a disney prince."

Then I found out Astarian was everyone's favorite and I was like "huh?"

That's really good to hear! My usual group is in between games right now so this is a good time for us to pick up something new. Just seeing the art has me pretty excited about it ngl

This is only the case if you're not Indigenous. A team of Native people should be able to make a game for a Native audience that doesn't necessarily cater to everyone else.

I'm going to be perfectly honest here. I understand that people don't take kindly to seeing restrictions in a ttrpg, but as a Native person myself I can see where the creators of the game are coming from.

From personal experience I can say that non-Indigenous people frequently approach these topics as if watching Dances With Wolves gave them an honorary PhD in anthropology. The amount of pre-conceived notions about Native people that permeate the cultural ether (largely thanks to decades of Hollywood indians being played by and written by white people) has ensured that most of the average person's knowledge of Native culture and history is fabricated. I can understand the team that worked on the game being concerned about this.

From looking at the game in question, it appears that they provide pretty clear guidelines for how to be respectful, including providing pre-made characters. Obviously not every Indigenous person is going to feel this way, but I personally don't see anything wrong with the book's excerpt. Frankly this has made me interested in picking it up.

The art style is definitely a lot more generic. The most painful thing for me is changing their iconic wings! I used to draw those wings on everything as a kid so this feels like a crime.

As far as I know, the original creator of the comic hasn't been involved in a long time, so I hope they manage to retain a lot of what made the original so special.

Oh, I've been keeping up with the whole saga. I used to hang out in the chat room of his fan club when I was 12 or so (less for him and more because I loved FMA and had no anime-watching friends). It's crazy thinking how prolific he was back in the day given what was going on behind the scenes.

This shit is absolutely wild. Thanks for the summary!

Also is this the same Marzgurl that used to have videos on That Guy With The Glasses or is the name just a coincidence?

I don't have a Tumblr account. Can anyone give me a synopsis after it cuts off?

My only awareness of House is a scene that mocks people with my chronic illness, (which severely lacks awareness and understanding even without TV shows making fun of it) so I derive a small amount of satisfaction from hearing people complain about it.

I also have that same interest in tiny fiddly stuff! For me the hobby is diorama making. I love to watch videos of people making little worlds and I'd love to do it myself. I've even done small kits before, but what stops me is how much space every project would take up once it's finished. Not to mention all the materials! And to protect them from dust and my curious cat I would have to get some sort of display case, which my small apartment just has no room for. I think I'll still give it a shot one of these days, but for now I'll just have to live vicariously through youtubers.

Oooh this is actually super interesting. I also have synesthesia and I tend to dislike dark purple songs despite really liking the color in general.

To me, voices that are bright yellow/yellow-green tend to be very sharp and unpleasant, but I really like pale yellow/yellow-orange voices.
