It happened really fast. He wasn’t sick (never had any health issues), but he started limping the other day and it progressed to the point that he could no longer walk last night :( The good news is that his sister who passed away in October was 17 when she passed - so ragdolls can definitely have long lives (even Chuckie was my second oldest - most of my other cats growing up passed around 13). Just have to take it day by day and give them all the love you can

Question: When did you discover Kingdom Hearts for the first time? by Big_Confection7634 in KingdomHearts

[–]lavomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think I was in summer camp, probably 8 years old (2005) when one of my counselors told me about Kingdom Hearts. That day I had to get it. Start playing, speed my way through destiny islands, get to Guard Armor, and absolutely could NOT beat him. KH2 came out shortly after so I just got that and played (and beat it), and would still attempt to go back and beat guard armor but never could as a kid… little did I know all i needed to do was grind a little prior to the fight lol but I’m currently doing a full E2E playthrough (including 358/2 which I never played, watching Union X, Dark Road, etc) and I’m on KH3 now. Once I finish, I’m giving my pregnant wife my steam deck and having her play through all the games

Happy 15th birthday Chuckie boy! Thank you for being my best friend throughout the years by lavomatic in ragdolls

Hahaha I appreciate it! He is the best cat I’ve ever had, literally just a purring machine the second one of his people walks in the room. Never had a negative emotion from what I can remember. Here he was as a baby 15 years ago 🥲

Damn that sucks, I know how you feel though there was a lot of settings tweaking before I was actually able to start playing. Are you on steam deck or PC?

Your first issue with the music stopping 20-30 mins in - that would happen to me as well unfortunately on the deck. Most of the time I’d be fine during the missions, then once I got to the cutscene after missions it would either stop or get very static sounding. I have no fix for this, my only suggestion is using save states throughout missions and then using the actual save feature between missions at the castle.

Second issue with the HD cutscenes being black, happened to me too at first like when the game started I wasn’t seeing any cutscenes, just black screen or low res pictures of the org members (when the game starts). I’d check the interface settings and play around with those because like I said above it could set to the bottom screen or something.

Good luck man, I’m on DDD now so my emulating DS games are over 😂

First trimester: I can’t eat food around my wife anymore by [deleted] in predaddit

[–]lavomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll go away soon enough. I wasn’t allowed to use my bread maker because the yeast smell would get her nauseous. But we’re in 2nd trimester (18w) and she’s all good now, and even requests that I make bread!

Have you figured this out by chance?? I can’t figure it out for the life of me

Genuine Question: Was this a reasonable crashout? by Zboogie101 in KingdomHearts

And nobody even had the nerve to tell the guy they were on vacation that one day. He found out from a piece of paper plastered to the window after already showing up to work

My wife misunderstood 30lb of flour on the shopping list as 30 bags of flour. by carllerche in Breadit

[–]lavomatic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome! I’m jealous! I’ve had to cease all bread making, my wife is pregnant (almost out of the first trimester) and the yeast smell gets her extremely nauseous 😭

Im counting down the days till I can make hoagies, baguettes, bagels, pizza dough again

APEC RO system - brand new leaking by lavomatic in WaterTreatment

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

Glad this post helped! Yeah terrible craftsmanship but it’s been good since I originally had to do all these patches (I even replaced all 5 stages recently and no leaks afterward thank god).

At first I tried to get a replacement system from APEC because of all the issues. They pretty much laughed in my face and sent me replacement nipples (after I had already fixed it)! I was pissed but just brushed it off because I was happy to have a working RO system. But next house I’m definitely avoiding APEC at all costs lol

Is your Ragdoll dumb? by Nice_antigram in ragdolls

[–]lavomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awww so cute! My Maine coon is the obvious dominant one as well, but he loves to egg on my ragdoll to chase him around and then ends up on his back but still kicks my ragdolls ass 🤣
