Nothing new here has been said except that enginetrap is gonna be at FWA. I’m exciteeeeeddddd. I fucking love their art.

Sure. Just make sure there’s a gate for marginalized communities who are trying to get out.

I have a lot of trans Texas friends, few of us have any decent options to leave. A fun fact: Texas ranks 2nd when it comes to % of trans people. Yet we have no voice, and a big part of that is thanks to how fucked the Texas voting districts are. That’s why a trans person in Dallas can be decently safe, but a gay person in Tyler will get their knee kicked in by a neo-nazi in broad daylight (this actually happened to someone I know, they have to walk with a cane now and they aren’t even 21); yet cities barely end up with any blue politicians at a state or federal level.

Mmmm… Spicy fly.

Imo there are two things that every VR game needs but very few have:

1. The ability to import a custom player model. I know this gets weird when the game has different armor pieces, mounts gear on the player’s body, and things like that. However, this, imo, is something that any VR game should have if the main character’s appearance isn’t important. Games like Myst or H^3 should have the ability to import custom models; meanwhile Bugsnax VR is okay without it.

2. FBT support. Even if FBT doesn’t actually do anything special, it still helps with immersion. It drives me crazy how attempting to lean in some VR games will result in you falling off cliffs due to your VR feet typically being placed directly under you. I want to peak around a corner or look over a ledge, why can’t I do that without exposing myself or falling to my death?

I have an old alienware laptop where you could swap the CPU and GPU on it. It was still trash (the thing died after about 3yrs; idk why I still have it), but it was a cool hidden feature.

Edit: of course, a normal CPU or GPU wouldn’t work in it, you needed one that used a different socket than their desktop equivalents and were significantly more expensive. Still a neat feature though.

Sorry dude, the world’s richest and most powerful country is currently melting down and turning to fascism. That affects everyone, directly or indirectly. You’re gonna get a lot of politics.

Honestly, based genie. Instead of fucking you over by twisting your wish into something negative, he fucks you over by spending time on small details. At least the latter will likely result in something you actually want, whereas the former will probably suck.

Bad dragon is probably the most well known. When I think of a company, I think of someone who’s gotten big enough that they have their own site as opposed to going through Etsy or something similar. The ones that come to mind are Nomad Complex, twin tail creations (I think they miiiiight be Canadian?), Hyena Agenda, Bossmonsta, creep cat toy company, Weasel Gear, plushlife (EU), weighted wildlife, donut moth (no longer around afaik), zero remnants…

What would you call artist collectives like Hyena Agenda, Nomad Complex, Bossmonsta, etc?

Edit: I perceive a “company” to be someone who’s business has grown large enough that they have their own site (instead of going through Etsy or someplace else) and are working with more than 2~3 people.

Good luck. The furry community is primarily a US thing, so a lot of the major furry companies are American. I’m sure there are more, but the only two companies off the top of my head which aren’t American are Nomad Complex (Canadian) and plushlife (German?).

One of our only unique, nearly fully home-grown cultures is gonna get wrecked by a madman trying to wreck the world’s economy. :c

There are many types of mosquitoes, but only a few suck blood. It’s the bloodsuckers they’re talking about when they say no one would miss them.

It’s like a safer version of Isaac’s pills.

This. I’m not giving up BBQ, sorry. However, if I can replace my heavily processed meats like nuggies or hamburger patties with something that tastes more or less the same, has a vaguely similar or better texture, and doesn’t involve killing an animal, then fuck yeah I’ll try it.

Talking about how an ingredient is a laxative as if it’s going to immediately make everyone shit their brains out just pushes me and presumably others away from meat substitutes. Tbh it almost feels elitist or like meat propaganda. “The fake meat is gonna make you die from diarrhea!!!” or “Oooo… Look at me, I’m a real^tm vegan because I don’t eat that chemical filled, laxative laced fake meat”.

A) the game’s rating would skyrocket as it’d almost universally get upgraded to an AO rating or equivalent (not sure if that’s actually something they care about though)

B) while not technically illegal afaik, there are a number of countries that would almost certainly ban the game if it showed children being killed. My understanding is that’s why child deaths occasionally show up in movies and TV, but tend to be avoided like the plague in video games.

They’d absolutely exploit it, but the technology necessary to exploit it would likely cause significant advancements that would likely filter back to Earth-side tech. It wouldn’t be the first time, laptops in their current form and cellphone cameras are two examples of tech originally developed for space. On top of that, the moon might not be as big as earth, but it’s still pretty big. It’d likely take a fair amount of effort to put a noticable dent in it.

Yeah, but, imagine the possibilities in humans

I wrote this and then realized I misread the post. Wew.

Thanks, I kinda fucking hate it. Everything about it looks wrong.
