We just had this conversation last weekend at my neighbourhood cookout. It might please you to know that every single neighbour here agrees with you. That's actually where the Bagel/beagle things came from. The lesbian couple down the street just got one and named it that, sparking the conversation.
My last dog's name was Deeoji.

Is there a way to make a video game about being an animal NOT boring? It always sounds good on paper, but then the gameplay boils down to three mechanics and constant repetition, which of course, makes sense.

And I'm not talking about games with an animal for a protagonist like Stray or Okami, but games where you're a typical animal and you need to survive.

It’s already supposed to be a game where players eat each other, the devs just insist on making oversized empty maps with poorly made terrain and few interesting features

Today we chilled out for a while and I offered her(?) one of those little yellow palm seeds. She looked at me like I was an idiot, then spent a solid five minutes imitating a Lorikeet. I wish I'd had my phone, but now I want to try to teach her some English words.

Why is everything asian always a performative set up

I hate their content so fucking much its all so fucking FAKE

Last night I was cycling and I suddenly encountered four adult boars walking in line on the road. The one in front stopped and looked at me and I quickly pedaler as far from them as the road allowed me to.
Being an urbanite, I'm clueless about boars.
1) how dangerous are they? I know the female will fuck you up if she's traveling with her youngs.
2) what's the best course of action if I encounter them again?

I've been thinking about stuffin a couple of raw potatoes in my pockets before heading out. Depending on the situation, I could throw them to divert their attention, make them ease up, or shoot it at their faces if things gets dangerous.

>>5054742
They're mostly harmless, but they do have massive tusks that can slice you like knives, espeicialy on the legs. People have died from having their femoral arteries cut. Boar hunting was a mega-alpha endeavor in the past, especially if you were using a boar spear, with the telltale cross bar to prevent over penetration. Some hunters, at least here in FL, sill still hunt them with spears too. Often from a tree stand. There are even "tactical hunting spears" and shit.

Also, if you have a dog do not let them get anywhere near these pigs, or they will die. Folks use pitbulls with kevlar vests and collars to hunt them down here, but you need a 2 or more dogs to do a good job and even then injuries are very common.
