For a movie with this premise, may I recommend The Lobster

My 18 year old sphynx, Hairry, had congestive heart failure last Sunday, but I got him to a vet in time for them to help. He's doing well on medications and I get some extra time with him.sphynx cat curled up in a blanket with a leg stretched out

The vet was an ordeal as their initial diagnosis was lymphoma and were going to give steroids. A friend that works there offered to come in on her day off, made them wait for radiology to report back, and figured out it was heart failure. If they had given him steroids, it would probably have killed him, so I'm extra grateful she gave him some extra attention and care. He still had to stay in an oxygenated kennel for a day and a half as the meds cleared the fluid from around his heart and out of his lungs.

My client does, but I have the option to click through if I think it's worth it. Connect is the client.

Yeah, COVID really did put the idea that people can self organize constructively in the face of global events into the ground.

The users at lemmy.world basically already drove the mods in that community to suggest vegan communities on other instances to basically not have to put up with the rest of lemmy.world. It's a dead community walking and the whole ordeal convinced me to block .world. I've seen less content, but damn has my experience on Lemmy gotten a whole lot better.

On my phone, the bottom was just cut off. I searched for way too long before realizing that.

He only thought it was a fart. Not the first time for this error.

I thought it was a weird Sailor Moon AI image at first, but then it kept getting worse.

In what resolution? Lossy or lossless compression?

Best: 6. The music, characters, and Kefka are just the best.

6 was also my first. While I've tried to go back and play 1 through 4, none of them hooked me like 6. 7 is probably my second favorite, but I did not like the remake, especially the combat. After 7, most of them were just ok at best. 5 is also adequate. Never played the MMO ones, though my partner does, so I get grape memes and such by proxy. We've also played through 6 while reading the lines to each other in character, and split the side content of 15 while doing the main plot points together. We tried to go through the 7 remake together, but it was such a slog that we put it on "have the CPU win all the battles" just to get it done.

I'm not talking about the consumption of animals here, to be clear. What I'm talking about is spending days and a bunch of money planning to kill something, doing the killing, and skinning/eviscerating what was killed, and often displaying the stuffed corpse. Hunters and fishers refuse to admit they're obsessed with taking pleasure in killing something.

Miss me with the "tradition" stuff, it's just peer pressure from the dead and a fallacious argument. Don't tell me it's to eat, like I said, I'm not talking about the consumption here, so please prove to me you are literate by not bringing up that point. And don't tell me you're respectful to the animals you kill; I don't believe the planning, stalking, and killing is a good way to show respect.

My tools serve me, not the other way around. It's not worth the time and effort to wash by hand or sharpen on a whetstone. I don't need an expensive knife to cook at home. A pull through sharpener and honing steel are adequate. Get the right material and you don't have to worry about the metal in the dishwasher.

Blocking a user hides their content in comments, but it still shows up in inbox when viewing all as well as in comment chains in the profile view. It would be great if blocked users didn't show up in these places.

Let me know if there's more info needed.

Western setting where a new gold rush for dark stone pits gunslingers, lawmen, saloon girls, etc against tentacles, the undead, mutated gangsters, snakemen, and lost technology as they travel between worlds.

It's coop and there are different missions, most of which have randomly generated maps that are created from a deck on you explore, giving it endless replayability. Characters gain experience, skill, and gear but also can become injured or mutate (nothing the church or surgeon in town can't fix for a price).

It also has tons of expansions. While the physical games add up in cost and require a lot of organizing, you can give it a try on tabletop simulator.

There's even a Japanese themed set that can combine with the Western ones.

Combat feels so slow (programming.dev)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

When I was doing some cleanup and running into enemies in old areas, it made me realize how slow combat is and why. If you have timed blocks, it has to be slow to give players time to react to attacks, so every enemy attack animation ends up being long and they all add up.
