Sky puppy!!

Ohh interesting! So would her chromosomes be XXY?

They’re gorgeous!! I’m curious, what do you mean by hermaphrodite?

Huh I actually never considered that, thanks! I’ll chuck it in the machine next time I wash my dog’s harness

He looks like he’s about to ask me if I have games on my phone

I got one this morning!! Immediately clocked it as a scam lol. I didn’t delete it but it disappeared from my inbox so I guess the account was closed

I feel like of all places to try and scam people lemmy is… Not a good choice? From what I’ve seen (and I haven’t been around too long tbf) the community gravitates towards more tech-savvy and educated people, so unlikely to fall for scams like these. They’d have better luck on Facebook probably, just attach an AI-generated Jesus and they’d make mad cash lmao

I got a wired wired XBox360 controller at GameStop 10 years ago for a really good price and it works wonders! I’m on Windows 8.1 and for most games it doesn’t require any sort of configuration either, I just plug it in and it works right away

The real tragedy here is that with the OP deleted I doubt we’ll get a follow-up. How am I meant to sleep without knowing if this man managed to go three days without shitting??

Mh, not sure how I feel about these. On one hand, as someone who mostly buys games secondhand, I appreciate they can be resold unlike actual digital releases. But what’s going to happen in 15-20 years when Nintendo pulls the plug on the Switch servers and eShop? Won’t these stop working? So at that point it’s just a piece of plastic whereas physical cartridges would still let you play games. Feel free to correct me if I’m misunderstanding how they work!

Omg it turns out I was following you there already?? Small world haha!

Not sarcasm just a poor choice of words haha. You’re right in that the internet wasn’t safer, what I was trying to get across was that at least when there were sites for children they had a curated space where they wouldn’t be exposed to anything inappropriate, whereas now they’re on sites that don’t cater to children (and nor should they!) where they’re exposed to lots of things they shouldn’t be exposed to

You’re right, the word safe there was a poor choice lol. But I still do think the internet was at least better for children when there were designated sites/communities for them with appropriate moderation, instead of children being on social media. Though of course the ideal would be for them to be playing outside but that’s a whole different discussion

Issues with Flash and the actual quality of those games aside, what I really miss from that period of the internet was that children could use it safely. There’s no spaces for children on the internet anymore and I think that’s really sad, nine year old should be playing Hannah Montana dress-up not get eating disorders from TikTok influencers

Edit for clarity: I didn’t mean to come off as though I think the internet was ever safe for unsupervised children because that’s not what I believe. What I was trying to say is that the loss of spaces made for children, with adequate content curation and moderation, pushed children on social media which is awful for them

Good post op!! My first Pokemon game was FireRed and bulbasaur was my first choice too - one day I want to restart my save and soft reset for a shiny one!

Ooo they’re adorable!! Kind of reminds me of the koroks from the Legend of Zelda, I love how you’re rendering the crystals too!

Hehe thanks!! Happy to be here, it’s a sweet little site so far! And I do!! My main site is Buzzly, but I also post on sheezy.art under the same name when I remember to lol

Mostly my own original characters which are either humans or anthros lol, with the odd quadruped animal as well! All the commissions I’ve done have been for people’s characters/fursonas too. And alas no insta haha I never posted to any mainstream social media (except I guess DeviantArt but I left back in 2013 lmao)

Every time I hear a new piece of news about the Switch 2 it’s disappointing. Bummer

I’m finally getting back into drawing! Ended up getting really burnt out last month due to commission work (my clients are lovely for the record! I just find commissions very stressful lol) but finally felt like picking up my tablet again (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

I’ve also been playing a lot of Golden Sun lately! Finished the first game and started The Lost Age and man they’re just incredible games, can’t believe it took me this long to finally play them!!

Happened to me once when two of my friends started dating and then had a nasty breakup. Thankfully they didn’t involve me in it, worst that happened was one of them did complain about the other to me but it didn’t devolve into full on shittalking thankfully, and I just told them point blank I’m still friends with their ex and while their frustrations are valid, I’m not comfortable with them venting to me. We’re all adults so that’s where it ended and I’m still friends with both! I don’t think they ever made up but I also don’t feel it’s my place to ask lol it’s been years at this point so it’s just water under the bridge

If this keeps happening to you I’m afraid you need better friends. Unless the reason they’re fighting is due to something serious (assault, robbery, discrimination, etc.) there’s no reason they should involve you. I know it can be hard to be harsh with people you care about, but sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is to tell them to grow up lol, sometimes people need to watch all their bridges burn before they realise they’re the one that needs to change
