    This is supposed to be wholesome but it’s actually really fucked up.

    It's funny, because I remember playing Persona 5 and seeing that statue in Shibuya Square every time I'm running to the train.

    And then I visit Tokyo and there it is. Like getting to meet a celebrity IRL. Except it's a statue. And there's a someone next to it with an Imperial Japanese flag screaming fascist shit in Japanese. And at the crosswalk there was a guy with his dick out flashing people.

    Japan is a magical place.

    Imagine being an agricultural scientist, known as the pre-eminent agricultural engineer of the entire country, and being best remembered for how much your dog loved you! Be that good to your pets everybody, you are everything to them.

    This dog is the reason Helen Keller brought the first Akita to the US, and now I'm not happy anymore. I don't know a single Akita owned by somebody that is responsible enough for the breed and the dogs are all shitheads because of it. It's what we pin on pitbulls and their owners, except in my (somewhat extensive, worked at a kennel 2 years, own a dog and interact with a handful of local akitas) experience, it's pretty much breed universal. These are the epitome of working dogs and do not seem to handle a chill lifestyle well at all.

    Very similar tale. Dogs are amazing.

    Dogs can't be amazing; that's blatant propaganda. If they were amazing, I'd want another canine friend and I can't handle losing one right now.

    That’s how we ended up getting a second dog when our turned 10.

    She’s 12 now and the other puppy is 2 and a total insane whirlwind of fur. So not we have to vacuum 2-3 times a week of we don’t want hair everywhere, and even then it’s everywhere anyways.

    Sorry for your loss. I recently lost a friend too. Not mine but I still loved her.

    Thank you. It's been a few years. I'm okay but, much as I miss having a dog in my life, I don't think getting another one right now would be a good idea for them or me. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.

    Honestly, same. I lost my own in 2019 and I'm still not ready. I know I'll get another but the time will have to be right.

    I have a kid who turns seven very soon. They remember some of our previous dogs, but very vaguely. I'm waiting for them to ask for a dog, then I'll decide.

    I also have three cats. Two of them are around fifteen years old. I'm going to have a lot of processing to do distressingly soon.

    Here's the Reddit rumor mill, but it's consistently with what I've also heard.

    It basically boils down to his home life falling apart, him doing pornography (VGLewds) to make ends meet, the toxic stew of internet culture wearing away at his ego, and him giving up on any project almost entirely for the last four years.

    Hardly the only webcomics artist to have a tragic spiral. The Sinfest guy also really went hard off the deep end and has taken to churning out some of the most nakedly fascist comics I've read to date.

    Saddest episode of tv I’ve ever witnessed.

    I loved the episode but I actually preferred the one about Fry's brother more touching and sadder. I think it's because I've never had a dog but my brother and I are really close.

    Fun fact: if you actually do this then you'll turn the game on to discover your Nintendog ran away due to neglect.

    Yes, I'm serious. Take care of your virtual pets, people!

    Couldn't you just set the system's clock to ensure that doesn't happen?

    The Wii Fit game (I forget the actual name) let you enter your pets and track their weight. Then they'd sometimes show up and run beside you while you were running or cycling around the island. It was a great touch.

    I can't fire it up to look. Our tabby that passed away in 2020 is probably still on there, as is our gray and white cat, who is not doing well - we're at the "keeping him comfortable" stage. (He's okay for now, he's still a happy cat, but he probably only has a few months left.)

    I kinda did the opposite of this with Undertale.

    I had the game spoiled for me, so I just played the pacifist route. Every replay, pacifist. I thought about doing a neutral or a bad route, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

    Last time I opened the game, it was maybe my fourth or fifth time getting the good ending. I just left it there. Let them keep the world they deserved to have.

    Yes, I know it's a stupid and illogical sentiment. Bite me.

    Dude you've engaged with the main theme of the game. Doing a genocide route is literally about how your devalue your connection to the game and become something akin to a psychopath because of the desire to extract as much content out of it as possible. Nothing to be ashamed of by not doing that.

    My son made me promise I'd watch his dinosaur Tamagotchi while he was at school. He was paranoid of it even getting hungry.

    i once had a cat follow me into the depths of a mine craft cave. I left him down there years ago and still think about him.
