  I heard they shaved a gorilla.

  Huh. So this is when I have a stroke. Good to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3's grip looks the most comfy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  2 or 3.

  I use to love G2’s, but they fell off. I found a sharpie pen a while back and was shocked by how well it wrote, it’s now my goto.

  Cut to the barber that’s clearly a coyote.

  IIRC he only go ice cream for him and one of his daughters, when the other two kids who were also with him watching them eat ice cream. Mom calls him out on that being a bit fucked up, Dad doubles down. Reddit asks OP what the fuck is he doing.

  It’s weird Bean Dad shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bro has no soul⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  (sighs) Would.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨House Flipper and Friends Humble Bundle has some fun looking sims⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been playing House Flipper. Worth the price of admission.

  The item catalog kinda sucks, but once you get use to it, it’s fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meow⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC, it’s more that they over time figure out what sounds and actions get their owner’s attention. We respond better, unconsiously or otherwise when they meow at out.

  My old cat figured out before I did that if she knocks shit off the coffee table I get up and check if her bowl is empty.

  Generally wild/feral adult cats are more or less mute outside of anger/mating/territory calls, but domesticated cats keep their kitten vocalizations if we respond to them.

  My current cat is very vocal and we responded playfully to his meowing as he grew up.

  I’ld be curious to see them revive Speedy with the less-than-flattering characters.

  Every culture has a stereotype of a lazy/drunk/yokel, but there’s a proportion issue. A village of regular workin’ mice, one or two lazy slow or old mice and it’s no problem.

  Apu wasn’t a problem at first, outside of him being voiced by a white dude doing Indian face, his orginal character was he was a hard working immigrant who had thinly veiled frustration for the lazy spoiled idiots he has to serve to make ends meet. Only to end it with the expected nice-ities expected of a clerk.

  I’m not Indian though, and it’s been a while since I saw the early seasons. Grain of salt. Cutting him out of the show whole cloth sucked though, not a ton of Indian characters on TV.

  Atleast Bob’s Burgers brought back Marshmallow when they decided to retool her a bit.

  My mother loved the Taco Bell Chihuahua, we had like a half dozen talking plushes of him saying different things.

  Was it racist? kinda probably yeah a bit, but it wasn’t hateful.

  Trafficking in stereotypes at most?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people see me as far older than 19 when I type the way I do sometimes?/Why do people think full stops are rude?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, each generation has words or a style of typing that they grew up or had to adapt to.

  IIRC Boomers and Gen Z use more emoji than Gen X and Y.

  Millenials grew up with keyboards, so they tend to type full sentences, punctuation, shit like that. With Gen X being a toss-up.

  Boomers tend to use formal language, but they suck at distilling their thoughts into something another human person can understand. (Boomer ramblings on Facebook)

  Wish I could find the article that broke it down, but search engine sludge makes any question about generations into links to quizzes.

  That story mode was unhinged difficult. Don’t think I got much further than that.

  It was such a cool level. I remember that was the only story level I beat in first couple tries~

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rate my breakfast⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell yeah man, Persist.
  Outlive your enemies.👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rate my breakfast⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey OP, it’s me, Wetstew. You doing alright?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite retro racing game?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s so satisfying when you get good at knocking out other racers. I remember as a teenager I would set my top speed to high and whittle down half of the other racers on my way to the front of the pack.

  It’s easy to get in the top ten when you drop the racers count down fifteen places.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favourite Metroid game?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Super is so good. The sound design makes everything gel together into a smooth slurry.

  But, like good.

  Metroid Prime is a masterpiece. The artifact hunt is a bit padding-y, but you’ll be backtracking to get the power-ups anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks legit, but can it actually be a real thing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like it is a protest against the dumb-ass anti-trans shit the people in power in this state are pulling.
