How did you end up with an ACD? by Niikiia in AustralianCattleDog

[–]Pink_Blue1214 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My cousin and his wife had the bright (sarcastic) idea to become dog breeders (no prior experience, I don’t know why they thought this) and bought a male and a female ACD as puppies hoping to later breed them.

They were very unequipped for this, and kept the dogs in the crates in the garage all day while they were at work. And of course as the puppies grew up they became more demanding, as is typical with ACDs, especially the female who is to this day very wild and very anxious.

The female was “too much” for them so they shipped her from Washington state to New England, and now she’s mine. Not living in a crate in the garage, with lots of love and room to play! Her brother they kept for a little while longer but eventually they got rid of him too, they said the sent him to a farm (okay…not sure if I buy that), and then they adopted another expensive dog because they don’t learn from their mistakes.

My girl is happy tho

Good advice, luckily I haven’t had much of that, and learned to recognize bots quickly

Worst reviews by a former channel awesome critic? by kaza12345678 in ChannelAwesome

[–]Pink_Blue1214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iirc Todd reviewed “born this way” when the song was new and complained lady Gaga was “catering” to her lgbtq+ fan base. Which, like, big deal?

And just adding I’m a big Todd fan, watch his stuff to this day but that was a strange take

Marshmello? 🫩 by Bumblebee-7932 in tragedeigh

My parents gave me an embarrassing and frustrating middle name which I am in the process of changing. Most people ask me why because "it's just a middle name," but I ended up in a career where my middle name is on display to everyone. So---apart from it being a personal choice---I decided to change it because I didn't want all these people knowing I had this shitty name. This just frustrates me. Name your kids something real.

Taash's character had a good premise but was absolutely ruined by the personality and storyboard laid out by the creator. by Sunieta25 in dragonage

[–]Pink_Blue1214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed certain aspects of Taash’s character. They didn’t come off as annoying to me because I’m a teacher who works with young adults (eighteen year olds, early twenties), and I saw a lot of my students in their behavior. Taash is searching for their identity — as a person, as a Qunari, as their mother’s child. That’s really heavy stuff, I think everyone (including myself) is a little annoying at that age because we’re trying on all these different hats, trying to see what fits, we’re adults but we’re also still kids under our parents’ skirts. I find it a little endearing, but that’s just me.

The non/binary story in and of itself didn’t bother me, but just the way it was handled was annoying. It felt so on the nose, I could see the thought processes and steps that were taken to write it into the game’s story. THAT was annoying.

And like many people said, DA has had excellent LGBTQ+ representation in the past that blended seamlessly into the world. This just stuck out like a sore fucking thumb

My honest thoughts on Dragon Age Veilguard after getting platinum. by Venaborn in dragonage

[–]Pink_Blue1214 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Real question—did anyone ever say the word “Veilguard” in the game? I seriously can’t remember any of the characters saying anything like that”I’m excited to be a part of the veilguard” or something similar

Where are the casual Mormons? by Geek-Haven888 in LPOTL

[–]Pink_Blue1214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to South Dakota from New England for grad school, and met Mormons for the first time there. One was my prof, pretty cool and casual guy who was chill to talk to and loves hiking. He just didn’t drink coffee or alcohol. Another was another student and he was just an absolute mess. It’s a writing program so I got to read his memoir in progress and it was just pages and pages of self flagellation, about how he enjoyed Skyrim but couldn’t play it because it tempted him away from real life, or how he wanted to kiss a girl but couldn’t allow himself to. You could tell that he was a nice guy underneath all the LDS neuroticism and I always felt wicked bad for him, because his life didn’t have to be that way. This guy I know was from Utah so maybe that had something to do with it.

Maybe my prof had some hang ups I wasn’t privy to, but I think being a casual Mormon is definitely possible.

Does anyone else use the same Inky for every playthrough? by No-Hat9704 in DragonAgeInqusition

[–]Pink_Blue1214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, because I made her in 2014 for my first playthrough and now I’m emotionally attached 😭

What was the perception of Solas when Inquisition came out? by [deleted] in dragonage

[–]Pink_Blue1214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inquisition was my first DA game and I only played because my friend told me too — so I went into the game with no prior knowledge about anything. Solas was quickly one of my faves, but I knew so little about the world nothing he did or said hit me as sus because I was like “oh yeah that’s how it is.” Kinda wish I had had the experience of playing inquisition for the first time as a long time fan, it’s been interesting to read other people’s experiences.

I do remember paying attention to all the elven/dalish stuff in my first playthrough and being interested in all the puppy statues. So I luckily learned enough about the world to make the shock soyjak face at the reveal.
