You were my favourite hello, and my hardest goodbye. Two weeks shy of her 12th birthday, I had to say my final goodbyes to Nilla last week. I am broken and the world feels "wrong" without her beside me. I will miss her for the rest of my life.

I swear on my left tit that I didn't stage this either lol

Can you get any cuter?! 😍🥰

@flowwwstate @normalmity @Brendzun That's such a weird take

@normalmity @Brendzun when talking about fantasy MMOs everyone’s first intuition is to compare any of them to WoW since that was the most popular and well known game for 20 years in the genre (even outside of gaming spaces) so I probably wasnt wrong he didnt have to play it to know about it

Ok so, played FFXIV for about 2 hours Made a character and did a few quests Intro is really slow, the only thing I've killed so far is a ladybug and a squirrel It's jarring being in this fantasy land with dudes in actual hoodies and ripped jeans I hugged a cat and poked a guy

@ILucasK I feel like that tweet is just a MASSIVE "low-hanging fruit" situation but if I didn't feel that way, I'd be tempted to ask her why she acts like video games are specifically a male-only hobby. Like I know, incels wish it were but it ain't...

Funny thing is, I had someone that told me to either choose video games and anime or her. She was attractive and all etc. I straight up told her I’d rather play video games and stay single. Because I know how that will end. No one should choose to give up hobbies for someone.

Hey @grok help, my friend asked me which method is correct for measuring a tree branch?

@rolanberrypie Everyone loves a good nut..... 🥜

This was the only thing I ate on Day 1. One bag lasted me the whole day. You'd think I would have gotten tired of them but no, I want more!

I've been craving these nuts ever since I got back from Fan Fest.

Arrowleaf Balsamroot Other names are: Oregon sunflower or Okanagan sunflower.

Today's hike saw Piper fully ignore the whistle recall and take off about 300 ft from me. We were almost back to the car, so when I got closer to it, she did come back, but that's not the point. Back to basics it is, and no more off-leash for a while.

🖕

I briefly mentioned to my mom yesterday, "maybe we'll go down to Vancouver this weekend," in a not totally planned-out manner. She's since asked me NO LESS THAN EIGHT TIMES IF WE'RE GOING AND TELLS ME TO HURRY UP AND DECIDE AND LET HER KNOW EIGHT. TIMES. IN 24 HOURS. GIRL....

I have a new insta account for Piper stuff and gaming stuff :) instagram.com/pixels.and.paw…

Excuse the panting. I'm fat and asthmatic 🤣

Fully off-leash :) Took about 20 min to get back to the car & by the end, she was tired of listening to the whistle, so she stopped responding. I had to put her back on the leash & reinforce the behaviour again before ending the day with a big positive whistle recall. WIP lol

@ILucasK For us Canadians...That's $122 CDN

For those who weren’t able to get Miniature Aetheryte at FF14 Fanfest, the Square Enix NA site is selling them right now in stock and is available. Keep in mind it’s very limited in stock but also site will say “the item is unavailable and need to edit cart” when you checkout - this is FALSE. As soon as you are at check out, you MUST QUICKLY CLICK STOP BEFORE THE MESSAGE POPS OUT and continue checking out and click purchase ASAP. Only way to know if it’s in stock is through the item link itself. Happy Hunting!

Guess who's on stress leave for 2 weeks! 🤪

@snark_talks Imagine this mentality (story skipping bad!) if it were raiding we were talking about. The responses would be VASTLY different. People are allowed to do what they want with their time. Idgaf if someone skips the story. Idgaf if someone is a lore maniac. You do you, boo.

@snark_talks Imagine being bent out of shape by what someone else does with their time? Like we have a FINITE amount of time in the day, and if someone just wants to jump to level cap to play with their friends, why the fuck shouldn't they?

It’s 2026, we are gonna be 6 expansions deep into FFXIV soon. Can we stop with the weird gatekeepy behavior if someone doesn’t want to play through 250 hours of story to be able to play some of the best MMO raid encounters ever made? Heaven forbid someone asks you a small lore question if they start getting interested in the story after starting the game 10 years late. Are we really gonna keep driving people away with this weird NIMBY ritual? Just use your social skills (lol) and answer the small question, suggest they start a story alt on their downtime, or direct them to a synopsis video on YouTube. Crying about “story skippers” this deep into a game’s development cycle is peak cringe. If they set up a skip to Dawntrail for new characters to jump into the new story arc I and many others feel like it would be beneficial for the game’s long term health. While the Hydaelyn/Zodiark arc is great storytelling it’s also not a sacred cow for people to clutch pearls over. At the end of the day, it’s a game to be played. We’re all better than this and should start acting like it.
