I basically lived on these during my failed grad school attempt.

And then they would've ceased to exist, and one more adult-content-inclusive marketplace would be permanently offline.

Pretty sure a bunny sabotaged the power steering on my car:

Not about him but about the type of people who voluntarily interacted with him: he had a woman over who saw me playing Wesnoth. She asked me what I was playing, I explained it was a turn-based tactical game. She stared blankly for a second and then said, "oh so like Halo?"

This has been my experience with this. Except for generating placeholder crap. I guess for that it's fine.

This warning is a damning indictment of the tech industry's failure to educate (and in many cases, deliberate attempts to mislead) the public. This shouldn't need to be said. This was always the case with email, instant messaging, etc.

Here's a photo from a month or so earlier before it seemed like there was any noticable QoL impact from what was going on. The surgery in January to unblock his gut was very much worth it.

A photograph of a large brown, tan, and black tabby cat sprawled out on the couch. His ears are perked and he's looking intently at the viewer.

Thanks. This is Wesley, he was a very sweet boy, most personable cat I've ever met. This was taken only a day or so before we had to make the call. In stills he looked great, but the cancer had made it to his lungs and his breathing was quite difficult and shallow and was limiting his mobility.

5. Goldeneye 64 Where I first started to enjoy FPS games with *some* stealth elements.

The box art for Goldeneye 007 for the N64. It depicts Pierce Brosnan and Izabella Scorup as James Bond and Natalya Simonova respectively. James Bond is facing the viewer and aiming a pistol at the viewer. There is also a montage of scenes from the film.

4. The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time One of the first games where I really felt compelled to explore every last corner of the world and always felt it was hiding more secrets.

The original box art for The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. It bears embossed-looking text for the word "Zelda" in the title, with a crossed shield and sword behind the Z. The shield predominantly blue, with an N=2 Sierpiński triangle in gold emblazoned on it.

3. Civilization II Where my love of the 4X genre started. I spent an unreasonable amount of time playing this as a preteen and early teen.

The box art for Sid Meier's Civilization II. Various icons of history, including a sailing ship, the statue of liberty, the pyramids, and a modern city skyline are depicted in sketched style on a sepia-toned background.

2. StarFox 64 Smooth play control, cool character design, and probably what solidified me being a furry before I knew what furries were.

The box art of Starfox 64. Depicts a winged fighter spacecraft with an anthropomorphic fox in the cockpit, flying above a blue-colored planet. A larger "mother ship" is in the background.

1. Tribes 2 First large-scale team FPS with vehicles I played. If I could wave a magic wand and bring back one multiplayer video game, this would be it. (Yes there's Tribes Next, but last I checked that was pretty dead.)

The cover art of the game "Tribes 2". It depicts a man in a brightly colored set of scifi armor hovering wearing a jetpack, wielding a disc-launching weapon and carrying a banner on his back.

revhowardarson had a good post about this:

Screenshot of an X post by user @revhowardarson aka Theophite;
"gaydar used to be a much more powerful sense. an average man in the 1950s would view this image and say "huh, must be the wind." like a skyrim guard interrupted on his patrol path. today we all know what it is to behold a putter in the way these two men behold." Below this post is an image entitled "Study of Gentleman with Golf Clubs" by J.C. Leyendecker, depicting two young men, one of whom is examining a golf club while the other watches.

Post the thing that turned you into a furry

An image of Sally Acorn as depicted in season 2 of The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog. She is a female anthropomorphic chipmunk, and wears blue boots and a blue vest.

They don't define sexually suggestive as nude, but "provocative imagery and partial nudity." Swimsuits (on men and women) fit that in my opinion. It doesn't suppress it, it shows up in my feed just like anything else, I just have to click to expand it with this label config set.

I mean I'm also a huge dork and have a dashboard of temperature sensors throughout my house so I'm definitely not like. Normal.

I also have a cat I guess, he's pretty neat.

I hate every time this comes up because it's an annoying generalization by kneejerk cynics. I'm an engineer and have an extremely ensmartened house.

I'm not sure I agree with the "pretty good fuel economy" but I love mine :)

This is how you prevent the online left from spiralling into the same level of historical illiteracy and nonsense that the online right fell into two decades ago.
