This is a 6 foot couch. In case anyone wondered about just how long Nico could get.
A black cat laying across a beige couch. The cat takes up most of a cushion that covers 2/3rds of the length of the couch.

Well. I think it's earned its seal of approval. Or at least its beached whale of approval.

No cheating. Post the last pic(s) of your pet(s).

Proof of pets
A black cat on his side, one claw stuck into the carpet; he is being pet on his butt by my foot.

It's been 10 years these two have been alive; here's to many, many more.

In light of the other things I've just reposted, here's something I saw from Tumblr this morning. From 2023. And it's just gotten worse.

Fuck AI
A screenshot of a Tumblr post from user paxamericana, dated Jan 18, 2023: "It's so cool how the search function on every website, a technology that was essentially perfected over a decade ago, is borderline unusable now"

I suspect there's a lot of WoLs who are now like:

First row: what it's supposed to be

Every other row: what it turns into after any copy/fill/etc

Like: please. Realize you are WITHIN THE EXISTING RANGE
A screenshot of the conditional formatting screen from Excel. There are several rows with different colors. The top row shows "$A:$ZZ" while every other row shows absolute garbage

One of the few instances where I have a reasonably canon answer.

Yes, my team comp is pretty terrible (I don't care)
A three panel image - the left shows a trainer card from Pokemon Sword; the center panel shows a Pokemon list including Cinderace, Zacian, Zeraora, Lucario, Umbreon, and Sylveon; the right panel shows a screenshot of my character from FFXIV.

Other people: "I should get a new chair because mine is falling apart and probably not supporting my spine the way it should"

Me: "I should get a new chair because someone will occasionally steal it when I decide to use my standing desk and then refuses to move when I want to sit back down"
A small black cat is curled up atop a desk chair. Her face is upside down with only one eye visible and looking up at the camera

They looked at me like this when I turned around to take these pictures, and then they laid back down.
A small entirely black cat is laying inside a cat bed. She is looking towards the camera. A large black cat is laying atop a platform atop a cat tree. The platform shows significant signs of wear. Only part of the cat can be seen.

Not sure how poker works in the 56th century, but I think at least two of you are cheating - and I thought I'd raised you all better than that.

(all of them have the same two aces; Noah cannot possibly have a royal flush & Kai would need 5 of a kind to beat a royal flush)
A partial screenshot of the game RimWorld with three characters sitting at a poker table. All three characters have the same cards - two aces. The character on the left is claiming to have a royal flush, while the one on the far right is claiming to have a higher score. There is additional incidental dialogue.

Since @strixus.bsky.social decided to play Chants of Senaar on stream, I decided to pull out my notebook on the translations.

This is limited notes from early things I half remembered from watching PlayFrame. Later notes are much more in depth.

She's strange but otherwise harmless.

(Didn't post this one before because the livingroom was a bit of a mess at that point)
A small black cat sits behind a wooden DM screen, on the floor. She is peering off to one side and looks like she could be running a tabletop RPG game.

She literally has her tail wrapped around my arm right now.
A small all-black cat is pictured from the top along with my right arm which is being held at a 90 degree angle. The cat is laying with her head in the crook of my elbow and has her tail curled so that it wraps around my arm, almost all the way to where it is ~1 inch from her head

Heads up for people still on the shitty bird site: they have opted you into functionality where it will use your content for their LLM (not shocking).

You have to use the site itself to turn it off.

I mean, I was trying for 100%, but... you know... I think this worked out better being the end result of that run...

Requisite: "Nice"
A portion of a screenshot from Hades 1 showing the Lambent Plume keepsake at the end of a (modded) run; the description reads: "Gain greater Dodge chance and move speed each time you quickly clear an Encounter. Dodge Chance & Move Speed +69%"

I... do not care for how this question is asked when it could've just been like... "rate your stress level 1-10 before the pandemic and current"?

I'd say there's at least two.

But the point still stands.

I think, in no particular order, from several recent games:
- Enjoying several summer vacations
- Literally just sudoku
- My job, but with word puzzles
- Going to summer camp with hot guys
- Time loops

Nico says "good luck!" (or possibly "why does Xion get second dinner and I don't"... but I'm choosing to believe the first one)

No cats, it's okay, I didn't want to go get more work accomplished or anything...

I'm now pulling out a (pseudo)random image from the pile of saved posts for rainy days. May it serve you well.
A Tumblr post from user kleefkruid which reads: "My cats have this meow that means 'come with me to fix this' after which they'll lead me to the problem in question, usually an empty (or 'empty') food bowl or a closed door they want me to open. They look at the problem, they look back at me, clear message. What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they perceive as being in the realm of my power. I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony door and show me... the rain. 'Please fix this' they say. 'Please get rid of the wet' 'Silly kitty,' I say, 'I can't control the rain.' I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain" A single reply from user yeshallbeasgods contains tags from user the-golden-ghost: cat: I have a minor god who attends to my every whim :/ and for what :/
