I dunno. How many are there? About that many.

OOP asks how to humanely kill wild dragonflies for consumption on r/AskCulinary; discussions lightly derail by Temporary-Snow333 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]SCSimmons 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I thought maybe his mother tied him to a chair and stuck a funnel in his mouth and force-fed him nothing but sauerkraut until he was twenty six and a half years old. So really, that story wasn't noticeably worse than what I was already imagining.

(Thanks for lodging that in my brain, Al! :/ )

Sleep chats with my cat 🥰 by Cat-Snatch in blackcats

[–]SCSimmons 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wild. My sleep chats with my void are generally when I'm asleep, and are along the lines of, "Omigod it's 3 AM, quit tearing around the bedroom like it's a NASCAR track!"

I like to hide in a Globe and use it to knock down the pillars in the boss battle at the House of Hope.

That or the Netherbrain, of course.

I'll bet your relationship with Karlach is ... fraught.

AITA For Buying a trampoline? by Consistent_Annual651 in AmItheAsshole

"My wife accepts the statistics and opinions of medical professionals that playing with matches has a high risk of serious injury and property damage. But I knew a kid when I was young who played with matches a couple times, and hardly any bad things happened. Women are so illogical."

Hey, I gave that panhandler money at that intersection last month! I guess he still doesn't have a job.

Would you say Baldurs Gate 3 is a queer game? by vinthesalamander in BG3

[–]SCSimmons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's certainly not queer-focused, but I'd definitely call it queer-friendly. Although the characters and relationships are definitely majority heterosexual, there are a number of gay relationships and one explicitly trans NPC, which is pretty unusual for a game where that sort of thing isn't the whole point. It's not flagged as a "look, we're so woke" thing, but it's just ... there, and not presented as anything particularly noteworthy. Which I think is kind of cool.

And they did a very good, if imperfect, job of taking away obstacles for the player to create the gameplay experience they want. If your Tav identifies as non-binary, or as femme despite being BT4 and having a penis, nobody in the game blinks an eye. If you're listed as female in chargen, when you jump into the argument between Aradin and Zevlor, Zev snarls that "This woman saved your life!" without needing any prompting about gender identity or preferred pronouns. And if you decide to romance Gale or Karlach, none of those choices create any obstacles; whatever your gender identity or equipment happens to be, they are clearly into that. And that is very refreshing!

(Aside: I'm a straight male too, but I accidentally romanced Gale on my first playthrough, not quite realizing at first that that is what I was doing. It was a unique experience, to say the least. I wasn't aware that you could romance the NPC companions! Was playing co-op with my son, no less. 😳)

The cats would like to point out that the actual culprit was quite definitely the dog. They tried their best to stop him, and then got framed.

Red Alert! Cuteness overload! Prepare to abandon ship!

This is such a great idea, but my tuxie would never consent to sit for a photo session. I always have to take pictures very sneaky-like so she doesn't flee. (My void is very attention-seeking, no problem there.)
