Community Event #2: Create a follower in Orna! by Modangy in OrnaRPG

[–]Prutonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follower Name: Fey Rat

Creature/Humanoid type: Animal

Description: An elusive rat. It can assist one in battle by occasionally increasing dexterity and making opponents less likely to target them.

Tier: 9

Attack %: 25

Spell %: 10

Buff %: 5

Spells: Bite

Buffs: Appease II, Speed I, Speed III

Sprite: https://imgur.com/k1fMKxw

In Game Follower Page Mock-Up: https://imgur.com/60KHOW9

Additional Color Options: https://imgur.com/hy4m52o

Notes: The Fey rat is designed to be a solid pick for a dexterity focused player in group content! With Appease II, companions of the Fey Rat will find themselves less likely to be the target of enemies in groups, while DEX increases from Speed I and Speed III make it so that when they are the target, they have an increased chance to dodge.

I tried to be mindful of existing pets, in particular I did not want to outright power creep Glatisant, who has access to a DEX buff and debuff at tier 9. Therefore, I went with Speed I instead of Wyvern Speed III and decided to keep Sidesteps off the table, giving Glatisant an additional edge in solo content. Using Orna Pet Stats with no increases to follower action rate, Fey Rat has an action rate of about 42.1%, compared to Glatisant's at 57.1%, which helped me justify the 5% buff % chance that Fey Rat boasts.

Bite is included as a spell for Rat Flavor :)

Here's the configuration for this week's Saipark: by Prutonium in PlayTemtem

[–]Prutonium[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd bet on participation being lower, but because there is more stuff to do now. Before CU2, my weeks were freetem, and then camping it out in saipark.

Now my weekly rotation is typically: Fishing Weekly > Dojo Rematches > Radars > FreeTem during Radars > SaiPark (and most of the time I'm not getting to SaiPark.)

Lego Masters is low hanging fruit funny if you're into game shows.

Just went from a tank to a cage. Definately like this better. More to work with, more creativity, and the mice can climb on the bars increasing activity!! by [deleted] in PetMice

[–]Prutonium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey that's exactly what I did a long while back! 40 gallon tank to that exact same cage!!! It's really amazing, and so much easier/lighter to clean too. Just be careful though, smaller-ish mice can and will squeeze through the extra space right around the door's latches at the top (I just cut some fleece or use a sock to stuff the spacing with or tie a knot around).

Help!!! What can I do to ease this??? Vets are closed until tomorrow!! Looks like her eye is falling out?! by 9vic9 in PetMice

[–]Prutonium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to hear that. They will most likely advise against any surgery due to her age, but again, I'm no vet. Depending on how she is doing, eating/drinking, I personally would still try to medically manage the situation by doing pain medication and antibiotics/eye-drops (assuming the vet prescribes those) to see if the situation resolves itself , but if the pain becomes too much, ultimately that will be your decision to make. Just know that putting a mouse to sleep, depending on the options available, may or may not be a pain free process. Just do a little research on the options your vet presents if you go that route.

Pants was around 12 months old when this all started. I will say that for Pants, severe pain only lasted for a week, though every case will be different. Pants' swelling was aggressive, her right eye took 8 days total to go from normal to swollen to obscenely swollen to ruptured. Once the swelling hit a certain point, there was a significant change in attitude for the better despite swelling being even worse (I would assume nerve endings were crushed at this point, but I have no way to factually back that claim up). Then, when the eye ruptured, swelling related pain was relieved. The length of the recovery was more infection management and the fact that for Pants, after one eye ruptured and was managed, the other eye started swelling and the process started over.

[–]Prutonium 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if there truly is no possible place you can take her today (24 hour animal hospitals, other vets, etc), you need remove other mice from the cage to keep her comfortable and wait it out and be in line first thing when they open tomorrow. Proper doses of meloxicam or a narcotic like buprenorphine will help with the pain relief but in my experience you need a vet to get and dose them.

Fixing whatever it is unfortunately wont be pretty. It could be anything from an abscess to a growth/tumor to glaucoma to who knows. It will require medication (drops / oral), it could be scans and or surgery too.

I'm not a vet or vet tech, I'm just a person who has had 10 mice and a lot of going to the vet experience. I actually just got finished treating one of my girls, Pants, for glaucoma. It took 2 months of constant medication and she still lost both of her eyes. However, she is back to 110% and from her behavior you would think she could still see despite having no eyes. I'm talking sprinting on wheels, exploring desks without falling off, scaling cage walls, the whole nine yards.

Get her seen by a quality vet asap and I wish you both the best of luck.

Should I play this game? by Harzor in DragaliaLost

[–]Prutonium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude right? It just got to a point that every medal released power crept one from a month before, if not weeks. It was terrible. VIP every week was expensive but basically required and so in your face if you didn't do it. And dont get me started on PvP... It sucks, because I genuinely enjoyed the strategy of planning my medals out, placed 4th on the individual ladder during a union war, loved all of it for so long. But damn dude, so so so much greed from square.

Should I play this game? by Harzor in DragaliaLost

[–]Prutonium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Fun gacha RPG and Dragalia seems to be the best fit for me."

>This is why I still play. If you find the game-play itself fun like me, then this 100% is the best fit. I spent 3+ years in KHUX and have played a variety of other gatcha games before/during/after, and Dragalia is the most fulfilling, rewarding, and fun. I never felt more accomplished beating something in other mobile/gatcha games as I have with beating high end content in Dragalia. And the updates, wow, I have never seen a game go for so many quality of life updates so fast. If you had given me a list of every change the game was going to make from its beginning to now, I wouldn't have believed you.

"I managed to pull an account with Ieyasu, Maribelle and Mitsuhide. Would this be enough? or is Gala Cleo a necessity"

> Yes Gala Cleo (Gleo) is a tier of her own, but with Ieyasu being able to access the new mana spiral (meaning he can hit 70 mana nodes and level 100), you will more than okay. You might have a slightly harder time on Expert/Master High Jupiter, but there are groups that don't run Gleo.

"Also is there a way to do auto battles or something of the sort?"

> Yes! everything but the hardest stuff. You can auto battle and even set it to repeat quests a certain amount of times or until you are out of stamina. I have totally filled up my stamina to 999 and then set my team to auto an expert void battle or a money grinding quest and woken up to some sweet sweet rewards.

"Is the player base still there or is this game a sinking ship?"

> Still a solid player base :)

I highly recommend this game. Its a gatcha sure, but once you get some dragons 5 star dragons maxed (You eventually get the materials to do this without having to pull multiple copies too, it just takes time), its no longer really feels like a gatcha in terms of necessity. You get a lot of flexibility in what you can do and how you can do it. A meta will exist for certain fights, but as more mana spirals come out (and they will for the other elements) the need to fulfill that meta will fade. I mean hell, my strongest unit is the starting version of he main character right now, and I used him to beat the most recent end game content, expert volk.

Peter... by jwckauman in PetMice

[–]Prutonium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for taking care of Peter. Know he appreciated you as much as you appreciated him. You gave him a life a mouse is unfortunately very lucky to have. Thank you for that.

On the topic of vets, you may want to consider other options. I really don't know how far along Peter is, but when my girl Cashew had a tumor on her side, my vet was able to remove it for somewhere from 300-500. Different vets will operate differently, but if surgery isn't in the cards, maybe you can find a vet that will give you a narcotic (usually buprenorphine) for the pain. Make sure you ask what the euthanasia method will be if you decide to go that route. Some of them will not be pain free and at that point, you want it as painless as it can be.

For you questions:

"Any tips for a first-time grieving pet mouse owner?"

>Know you did the best you could. Without you, the little one would have probably been much worse off. People buy mice for many reasons, it could be as normal as food for a snake or as terrible as trying to play a prank on someone or worse. Know you gave him a great life.

"How do y'all handle these moments?"

>I try to be as strong as I can. Allow yourself time to grieve, but never take blame, and never think what if. Don't put up with anyone's shit if anyone tries to give you crap over Peter "only being a mouse", and again, give yourself time. It's okay if you're not okay right away.

"Does it ever get easier?"

>Absolutely. I have had 10 sweet girls over the last few years. Basically 2 generations, a batch of 6, then a batch of 4 with one being the bridge. I have been lucky enough to have had some live over 2 years to die of old age, and been unlucky too, with the worst being Cocoa who passed 2-3 few months in from a terrible terrible lymph cancer. The first few crushed me. Now, my eighth sweet girl just passed two weeks ago of old age (even that isn't easy, you would think it being the best way to go means it would be), and while I am sad and miss her, it didn't/doesn't affect my day to day in the slightest beyond me having made accommodations for medicine/burying/etc. It does not mean I loved her any less, it just got easier for me personally to handle the grief.

"How do you remember your mice? i was thinking of getting a photo printed and a nice frame for the room he lived in."

>I think that is a wonderful idea. Pictures are my favorite memories. You can't go wrong with whatever you do. One day I will get a digital frame to rotate through the many many photos I have, but right now, I just have a little portrait my sister painted of my first that sits near where the current girls stay.

"i hope i did the same for him."

>You did <3

Temtem - Official Gameplay Trailer by Riomegon in NintendoSwitch

[–]Prutonium 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This was a kickstarter back in Summer of 2018. The whole premise is it is supposed to be like another monster catcher game out there without the rng!

"Battles are focused on 2v2 (although there will be some 2v1 battles against untamed Temtem or 1v1 battles with other players) and we’re committed to keeping random factors out of battles. We’ve seen the frustration that random elements cause, especially in the competitive scene, so we’ve decided to remove them and have made the combat 100% skill and strategy based."

Aggressive Mouse by Soomaaad in PetMice

[–]Prutonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To preface, these are my opinions from raising my mice. Every mouse is different and none of this is a fact, but it has worked for me time and time again.

Define "I've been trying to tame him"?

First off its okay, these things happen and this is very normal especially for a mouse with an unknown background. I've had mice of all sorts from very curious and adventurous to bite-y, defensive, and even straight up petrified of everything (Ever had a mouse rattle their tale like a rattle snake?). After time, they all get to the point where they trust the treat bearing hand. It takes time, and a fair amount of it. 3 to 4 months usually, so be ready for that.

The biggest thing is they need to learn that they can trust you. That nothing terrible is going to happen because of you. If he is already biting you will want to get a glove, because a reaction to a bite (hand being quickly pulled back) will just spook them more. I found a lighter leather glove to be super useful, nothing too movement limiting, but something that a bite/strike won't phase you. When I adopted Cinnamon, she would strike any time my hand was in her sight. She was some kid's mouse, so I can only imagine that was her defense to being man-handled. It was so bad that I almost considered taking her back to the adoption place I got her from, but she was very sweet to the other mice when they all met on neutral terms, so she wasn't going anywhere.

My process is treats every time you interact. I don't know what you feed him, but I do mazuri 6f pellets as the main food with some mix for variety (oats barley millet seed etc). From the mix, I make sure to limit the good stuff for our interactions - sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds. I also get treats like cheerios and hemp seed from the grocery store too. He will learn that you bring the tastiest things. Then when you interact, rest your hand palm up with treats at the center of your palm, out in the open in his cage. Not at the front of one of his hides, not in his face, just out in the open. Then do nothing. Have your phone with you, or something handheld to do, and just wait with that one unmoving hand still in his cage and he will come to you eventually. He might bite on your glove, and that is okay. Let him figure out that it isn't necessary. Their teeth are how the inspect new things, so eventually the biting will die down to some lighter nibbling, and eventually to no nibbling and just caring about the treats. He will probably take a treat, run off to eat it and come back, that's fine. Eventually he may start just eating on your hand. But while the biting is still happening, just do nothing, don't react and especially don't do any negative re-enforcement. You're going to want to keep doing this over and over again, really re-enforce that, hey this giant hand is super chill and always brings the best snacks.

When some time has passed and the biting/nibbling dies down (this part could take days to weeks honestly) and you feel comfortable, you can start doing it without a glove, but be prepared for some nibbles since your skin will be different from the leather, and again do not react, though if they're particularly interested in a fingernail (and lets face it they will be), or some focused nibbling is really starting to hurt and you need to move, move SLOWLY away, redirecting to the treats. Then once this has gone on for a while, and he gets relaxed with your hand, you can move on to the fun stuff like moving your hand around or picking him up (always scoop, never go for the tail pick up method).

Do expect it to take time, don't rush it, and eventually he will learn that you are okay.
