Threw my back out. Bit delayed on posting at the moment. Sorry <3

  • I think this is sort of missing the point. While it is true that people are less likely to leave a service if they are more comfortable or if it is more convenient. They are also less likely to leave that service if the alternative is less convenient itself. This is why Linux has not had the worldwide adoption that its fans have wanted it to have. Even if you make setting things up easy, staying there isn’t. This is the same with a lot of things, such as Matrix which tries to push back against Discord but misses the mark.

    Lemmy is also an example. It has fewer features than reddit that make it less convenient. Not many, mind you, but some. I know people who refuse to sign up here because there isn’t native video hosting/embeds like with v.reddit.

    Is this good? No. Is it acceptable? Personal opinion. But people are willing to move to ANYTHING if given an incentive and a stable/simple alternative. Laziness is making a good idea that’s only been half baked, put it on the shelves and then confused to hell why people aren’t buying it.


  • I’ve yet to see a pet owned by someone homeless who was cold, struggling or suffering. They were the happiest creatures that I knew. They spent all of their time with their best friend, had lots of time for play and love, and were always fed first and fed well.

    I spent half of my 20s homeless and met plenty of homeless dogs and cats. Rats too. All of which could have run off at any point but never did. They were always warm, were protected fiercely by their owners and were STUPIDLY happy and well behaved. Super social and friendly.

    You also gotta think about it from our perspective too. No one cares about us at all. We often have to fight for ourselves and are completely alone in it all. No one wants to love us and, often, we don’t love ourselves. A pet? Can literally make or break someone. I’ve seen it. I’ve seen someone lose their pet and become homeless and I’ve seen someone homeless gain a pet and become a totally different person and start thriving. Just because something cared about them back.

    I also can’t think of any situation in which any of them would have chosen to keep their pet homeless if there was a guaranteed place for them to go where they’re happy and safe and loved. But there isn’t for most people. You said put them up for adoption but what if no one takes them? Now you’re both alone for no reason. What if they end up in a kill shelter somehow?

    Things are not as black or white as they appear. More black and white. Like a gorgeous husky I knew named Rocky who was the happiest fuck that I EVER knew.





















  • I legit had no idea she was supposed to be one. As a gay man I also wasn’t immediately swayed by the fact that she’s hot (badumtiss). I had not seen any artwork of the game or even the trailer when I started playing it. All I knew was that people would not shut the fuck up about it and I felt left out. I was avoiding looking into it because I didn’t want to feel more left out. So when I encountered her, I just didn’t realize. Now. The fact that she was on the splash art for the game should have been a hint but my brain just went with “She’s there as an important figure for Wyll”. I NEVER ONCE realized what was going on.

    To be fair, I was also playing as a Durge and leaning heavily into it. I wasn’t questioning much of anything, I was going full murderhobo on my first few playthroughs. I was just delighted that such an option even EXISTED so I jumped aboard. Didn’t see Gale for the first few playthroughs either because yummy hand. My first sex scene was with Mizora and was WAY MORE FUCKING GRAPHIC than I was anticipating it being.

    Last random thought but when I did my first playthrough as a good guy, I was romancing Wyll because he’s hot. But the second he started prancing around like a deer it basically shot his sex appeal in the head with a cannon. I remember choosing a cold as shit option at the end of it and him looking like a hurt puppy dog and I INSTANTLY went over to Gale. Started talking to him and realized I actually quite like every single part of his character and have never looked back. My husband <3










  • I’m fairly sure it’s when Vlaakith appears. They’ve got the right angle of looking up and when she shows up in Camp she’s all blue and ethereal, giving off a bunch of light. Wyll and his headgear isn’t a safe thing to set it off of as you can never get that headgear. I’d know. My first 7 playthroughs I had him without it because I had no idea a particular someone was a potential companion so I never got her on board. Wyll always just ended up with dope new clothes instead.
