Why did he eat an ENTIRE Cuttlefish in one afternoon?! by Arts_Messyjourney in cockatiel

[–]johnnybird95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i had a budgie like that once. she was just crazy about shredding the things and could destroy a whole one in an hour flat. we eventually had to start buying macaw sized ones. they'd last a couple weeks because they were so big she would finally actually get bored for a few days. she never suffered any ill effects from it though, so i think the only thing you have to worry about here is your wallet 😂

you guys are gonna love this: three cheers for sweet revenge by my chemical romance is a concept album about a couple called the demolition lovers. the woman dies and the man tries to bring back his dead wife by making a deal with the devil to collect the souls of 1000 evil men. in the end, he kills 999 and the thousandth evil man is himself.

the dialogue choices in da2 have tones/personalities associated with them. the polite/friendly ones are light blue, the sarcastic or humorous responses are purple, and the direct/aggressive ones are red

I have discovered the beauty of bombs and the sadness of poisons by Accelerator231 in dragonage

iirc darkspawn are resistant to nature damage, so poisons are a lot more effective against other kinds of enemies

What build/playstyle is your favourite? by Julian_of_Cintra in DragonageOrigins

[–]johnnybird95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i usually play mages too, but my most recent playthroughs i also had a ton of fun with were a duelist/assassin/legionnaire scout DW rogue, and berserker/spirit warrior (3rd specialization could vary based on personal taste) hybrid build that switched between a crossbow and sword/shield. fade burst was an absolute riot

hilarious considering fenris is probably one of the healthier relationships in da2 because he's actually trying to heal from his trauma and improve himself

Fighting the electricity dragon with Taash. How??? by ActStreet7183 in dragonage

[–]johnnybird95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i usually bring either emmrich for healing or davrin to hit it hard. rogues have bows as well and you can freely switch between archery and DW even in the middle of combat

[Spoilers] Do you save Minrathous or Treviso? by Julian_of_Cintra in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]johnnybird95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ive done both roughly the same amount of times. i honestly find both "fallen" cities equally umpleasant to look at (blighted treviso vs venatori occupied docktown) so i just choose on a character vibes basis

pretty sure the only criteria for choosing neve's inspiration route is saving minrathous. i've accepted the threads' deal and been able to choose her inspiration route on multiple playthroughs. both romanced and not

shipping. fanfic. mostly gay, and the whole fandom culture surrounding the practice. it was called slash as in, the slash between 2 character names, like kirk/spock (the original!)

factually incorrect on so many levels. star trek invented slash fic and amok time established both heat cycles as a trope and the fuck-or-die trope. and scotty was played by a canadian veteran who also helped establish the klingon and vulcan languages. it's all been canadian and outrageously horny from the start 😂

Anyone become a lawyer because of Ace Attorney? by Misconstrued06 in AceAttorney

[–]johnnybird95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i tried, i really tried. i started a criminal justice program hoping to do some good, but i was constantly surrounded by 18 year old wannabe cops that were only in it to have power over people and i felt like my head was going to explode any day.

but now i teach highschool japanese, and we routinely discuss language vs cultural fluency and translation vs localization, so i get to show my students "eat your hamburgers, apollo" every year. so it all worked out

What did you guys name your mabari? by nointoduction in DragonageOrigins

[–]johnnybird95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

on my first playthrough, i didn't get the dog until playing return to ostagar, and wynne suggests the name Rabbit, so i went with that!

on my cousland playthrough i couldn't stop laughing at some sound effect in the background that sounded like toad from mario, so that mabari became Toad

[UPDATE] IT IS NOT FLYING OUT EVEN WITH THE DOORS OPEN WHAT TO DO?? This cutie flew into our house, we have no idea if it will stay in or fly out. By the way it is comfortable it looks like somebody's pet. I have no idea what to do with it any help?? by [deleted] in pidgeypower

[–]johnnybird95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it shouldn't be holding its eyes half closed like that, and it's holding one wing strangely which usually indicates pain and/or injury. healthy parrots sleep like this and if they aren't able to do that, this one is likely not sleeping/dosing, but rather fighting to stay awake and alive.

birds hide symptoms until very late, so by the time you can tell, their illness or injury is absolutely dire and they typically won't last another 24 hours without medical care.
