My aunt has a ragdoll. She constantly brings her comb to people and stands with her chin raised and eyes closed, ready for them to comb her. Gets very annoyed if they don't.

My aunt has a ragdoll. She constantly brings her comb to people and stands with her chin raised and eyes closed, ready for them to comb her.

I initially read this as a toy ragdoll, and your aunt bringing the toy doll and a comb and silently demanding people to comb the hair on the doll.

Apparently, this is how one is supposed to read it, for anyone else wondering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragdoll

I remember when Unreal Tournament introduced ragdoll physics.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

UT never did such a thing.
(I know you mean 2004 - what I'm hinting at is that the og one didn't and because of me knowing mostly that one my back hurts a bit more. Actually I remember Trespasser ~~with boob-hearth~~ ragdolling, wild)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I definitely remember the boob health meter, but it had ragdolling?

The main thing I remember about that game was it being the first one I played that allowed me to soft lock my progress.

edit: and being impressed at the lady's strength, throwing around boxes and barrels with one hand.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well fuck me, I never ever questioned the strength of her fully extended arm just casually throwing boxes around, not for a single moment.

The ragdolls, I remember corpses on slopes respecting proper boundaries.

It seems you could glitch it out too: youtube/i6cWEbkBeZQ.

The game had a pretty interesting history, too. In case you're not familiar with the details, you might enjoy this or a similar video: https://youtu.be/bp7PqRMI1HA

I read it as the aunt carrying the comb and asking for a brush

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I read it as an ant with a comb and three giraffes in a hot tub.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Obviously the toy ragdoll brings the brush to guests & demands brushies.

Now THIS is the horror film I want to see advertised on every bus in a nine-mile radius.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Well that's just adorable.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty confident it needs a new drive belt.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Carpurrettor is malfunctioning I think.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Timing belt needs a good tightening is all.

U know ya got em good when they start licking their paws

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

Heheh… they sound like a raccoon….

Adorable!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

For once I am actually happy I turned the sound on.

Top 3 cutest cats of the year

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Agreed.
(All cats are top 3 cutest cats of the year tho, that's just how cat math works, but it's no less true)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

sounds more like a star wars alien animal

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

My cat enjoyed this video once I turned the sound on..

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

And I thought my cat's purr was loud. Is quiet by comparison.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

thos video breaks maths. parallel strokes leading to a purr-pendicular outcome?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I wanna feel that good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

why do they lick when you do this?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

My guess is licking is just tightly wired to the feeling of getting brushed, as they use their tongue to brush themselves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Like how dogs kick their leg when you scratch behind their ears

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

ah yes makes sense. i had cats that did this too

Sounds like a 2000's cell phone ringer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Hmmm ... actually, if I would isolate (with permission) a single purr that would work nicely for notifications.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Omg I love it when they have such distinguished purrs!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Woodland critter noises 😄
