What could happen is Klanq spawns as a robot with a level 1 ability to poof? Though if YOU are mechanical you cant get Fungal infections and that may include Klanq too... it introduces so many quirky issues and anti synergies in a lot of convoluted ways

I think so but I've never seen it happen. Klanq might not be able to poof if its coded like a Mutation. But if its completely story based and goes around that system then maybe it would still work. Mechanical creatures have their mutations replaced with "Modules" and don't gain mutation points, so

My Sakashima/Kodama/Keruga deck does this. And it deserves all of the attention it draws for doing so 💖 my only response every time is "That makes sense, I would also do that".

What no Gnomes?

We were member babes in the woods then. Just filling Word files with Images. Little objects with smiles and little L stick legs walking around on blank backgrounds. I can't even find them anymore, I feel like the flavor text for Wandering Ones from Magic.

Exactly, even people who hate cats end up advocating for their care better than the average person who loves them sometimes. Its frustrating, because why wouldn't you want to learn and accommodate the best way to care for the animal you love? That's nutzo behavior, keep em on harness and indoors!

If they're Feral, cats out of the bag there. That cat got failed by a society that didn't care enough to take an educated approach and defaulted to antisocial, harmful behavior because no one was there to help the animal whose entire life is built around us and our shit. Not the same thing at all.

"You just have to accept the danger for their happiness 😡" No actually! Thousands of experts and years of dedicated animal behavior research proves this is just people making shit up to justify the lack of effort/understanding on how to meet their needs. My cat is not happier dead/being attacked!

"But its natural 🥺" its not. That's not even true for dogs either. Supervised or covered outdoor spaces are important, sure. But just letting them roam is admitting you're okay with whatever happens to them good or bad because you can't/didn't want to do the work to make your house a home for them.

"But look how sad they are 🥺" not how this works. Not even whats really happening. They can and will do stuff thst will just get them killed because they are supposed to be in our houses or barns. My cat cannot get run over, killed by another animal, or stolen inside without a lot more going wrong.

His energy is so immaculate. Mel breathes and he just starts yelling "So I'm TAKEN by the way >:( don't even THINK about giving in to your obvious love for me" from across the chamber, unprompted.

You ARE Qud, in so many ways. Your writing and design lives in my head forever and I see it in small sparks of brilliance arcing in the world around me because of that. Your work is integral to the core of Qud and that needs to be discussed more when people marvel and swoon at what you've made.
