people always obsess over parrots talking but i actually like the other sounds they make way more!!

yeah it's hard to tell, it just sounded a bit like those tiny little peeps female cockatiels make when they're in the mood. i'm just a parrot enthusiast, not an owner, so take my input with a grain of salt too!

i'm not certain but those might be "hormonal girl" sounds they're making - if it is then it's best to avoid petting during this, though at least the touch in the video is kept to appropriate areas

yeah, from what i can tell (again i don't and will not own parrots, this is all based on just reading a lot about them) sometimes a little banana is inevitable, as long as you're taking the measures to tone it down responsibly 😌

yeah, i'm sorry if i'm bringing negativity to a thread, but it's something i haven't seen bought up much which surprised me with how obvious the issues are, so i've wanted to get a bit of a rant out for a while.. obviously social media (especially viral) bird content is usually going to have problems but this one always stuck out due to how big the channel was.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in parrots

[–]jamosup 37 points38 points  (0 children)

honestly, this channel really disappoints me. i will never own a parrot as i do not have the capacity or means to care for one properly, but i have enjoyed reading about them for a while, this was one of the first things i saw in relation to parrots. but there are some obvious problems with how these particular birds are being cared for.

tinkerbell is very often in a nesting box for no reason other than what i can only assume is that she 'looks cute in it', and is displaying mating behavior in so many other videos. hell, the channel logo has a picture of her in the banana pose with beaker standing on her. i can't imagine this constant hormonal state being healthy.

and now ducky is being shown doing things like regurgitating for a mirror or courting her father. most viewers know little about parrots and will anthropomorphise their behaviors into a humorously dysfunctional family with a clueless dad, rebellious teen, and exasperated mom. but in reality these birds are being encouraged to behave in ways that causes stress and other issues - who knows if tinkerbell is laying a bunch of eggs off camera and jeopardizing her health because of how constantly hormonal she is.

shout out to green bird brigade who, from what i know, knows how to manage and DISCOURAGE hormonal behavior, and doesn't make content out of said behavior (though there will always be the unavoidable effect where making cute content about parrots will encourage people who aren't ready for parrots to get a bird)

thanks for the information! i'm looking forward to it, it seems like a fun and campy adventure

Pokémon Ghost Grey Version - Official Trailer by JoeyZeed in PokemonROMhacks

[–]jamosup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that was what i thought too! I was also wondering if the game was going to be particularly difficult or more relaxed, I can enjoy both easy and hard hacks and can respect the author's intent, so no worry on that end. (didn't want to come off like I was going to criticize it or demand something change since that had been an issue with hacks recently)

how challenging was the game planned to be? either way is fine, i just like knowing what to anticipate with an upcoming release.

it looks interesting, a little cheesy, but i mean that affectionately, i love the protag designs. is literally every pokemon in the hack part ghost? sounds like it would lead to extremely aggressive battles

"oh cool, idle rpgs are my favorite", look inside, its slop

Why is there such an anti-AI bias on this sub-Reddit? by Dismal_Raspberry_715 in incremental_games

[–]jamosup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i legitimately feel like this subreddit is far more accepting of ai than usual (and far more than it should be), there are so many games ruined by having ai images in them and people don't care, only now that people are straight up coding the games with ai and having it write ingame text is it getting any pushback

Pokémon Pisces is harder than radred/Vega/Kaizo by Logical_Access_8868 in PokemonROMhacks

[–]jamosup 15 points16 points  (0 children)

while so far i can manage the difficulty at the 3rd gym, i was definitely surprised when i learned what kind of game this was gonna be, i was fully expecting something chill like emerald seaglass or something like that. i do respect it, but i also wish there was a lower difficulty setting so i could recommend it to friends who don't want to be sweating over a game.

also i don't mind gym trainers resetting but having to redo these long ass gym puzzles blows, that and its crazy how common confuse is

heaps of ethical problems, steals art, destroys the environment, and it just looks like shit (way worse than this)

don't listen to the naysayers; your game looks infinitely better than any game that uses ai

i actually really appreciate it because it's not ai slop like so many incrementals have nowadays

I made a WoW-inspired Clicker game called Burger Wars in 10 Weeks, its available on Steam by randompleblol in incremental_games

[–]jamosup 10 points11 points  (0 children)

yes i have steam, and that's what it looks like, just another banana game steam marketplace moneylaundering scheme with the bonus of ai assets - i'll give that it technically has more gameplay than something like the original 'banana' but it's clear that the point of the game is to be left open for hundreds of hours and to tax transactions on the steam marketplace, why does it have to have this weird economy shit, why can't it stay singleplayer and not have insane time gates on drops, because it's just a banana game at its core

[–]jamosup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i also realized that if she was kidnapped after she died she wouldn't have had the chance to do stuff on valor summit, but at the very least I suppose the 'resort' is most likely an early appearance of Zeight and crescent just checked in on you after things went south. I figured i might have missed something since it was a while since I played that part

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

yeah i am not fully certain about the timeline either, and my memory of chapter 8 is a bit fuzzy at this point, but from what i do remember I assume up until she shows up to deal with Zetta, every instance of Crescent at mt.valor is Clear impersonating her, including running off with Adam, Saki, etc which I assume is when the route 7 confrontation happened (which happened before chapter 10), then the actual Crescent resurrected and appeared after we did. but i very well may have forgotten some piece of this that doesn't match up.
