“Do you mind if I include this in my book?”

I’m cool with roleplaying as an animal person, wearing a costume, the fetish aspect, whatever. Live your life.

I just don’t understand why they’ve all standardized to using the same terrible art style. It doesn’t look like a human, an animal, or even a sonic character (which I assume is the root), but a fourth thing. You can tell a furry by how they draw a normal human because of how deep set the habits are. Is there any other group as exclusively committed to an art style?

If I spent that kind of money on a wolf costume I’d at least want it to vaguely look like a wolf.

Edit: If you think these don’t heavily share a style (as compared to anthropomorphic characters from non-furry animated series, for example) then I don’t know what to tell you.

It’s a quick-draw stance to minimize motion, I believe.

Good point, but it’s still an annoying meme format because of the nonsensical double negative on nobody saying nothing.

I know I’m alone on this hill, but I’ll die here.

You’re right, it’s exhausting.

TIL, thanks

One time a friend and I (both in IT at the time) tried absolutely everything to fix a bizarre computer problem, then he told me to literally pull the hard drive completely out if the case and sit unplugged overnight before putting it back in. For some reason that worked, even though unplugging everything and plugging it right back in did nothing. Asked him why and he said “No idea, I was desperate.”

I saw a road sign the other day with a very detailed horse on it, and it distracted me for a second thinking “What the hell is up with that sign? Are there wild horses here? Is there a horse crossing up ahead? We’re in the middle of the city!” So I almost missed the woman leading a horse out into the road from behind a dense bush right behind the sign, not checking for traffic at all.

Probably would have been safer without the sign.

Interesting, I guess in 1994 it would make sense to redraw the guy instead of copying the asset over in Illustrator like you would present day.

Is this AI generated, or is my radar off?

In my experience people will often offer $20 for anything worth up to $1000 and as little as $50, any less and they want it delivered for free.

The number of people who offered me $20 for my $1200 TV was staggering, and one woman wanted me to pay her to take my beanbag chairs.

I was talking to a couple of friends about how I wanted to play the Dark Urge and recruit Minthara in BG3, but I never could because I couldn’t bring myself to be that mean. One of them said “Hey man, I’ll make the tough choices, no problem. You just tag along and watch.” So we started a new playthrough.

Right as we get back to the grove and are about to wipe out the tieflings, both of them start in with “I don’t want to kill the tieflings! This sucks! Why are we doing this!?” So we loaded and changed our decisions.

And I’m thinking “This whole operation was your idea!”

Close, they actively fight success. Legally obligated to, even. It’s their fiduciary responsibility to keep you using the app.

Better to just accept the gifts for yourself and let them fire you. I imagine a juicy wrongful termination suit would be appropriate.

.2% per year? So we should expect about 10% of people to be murdered by 50?

I was going to say .2% is better than I thought, but that’s pretty dire.
