The cod was believed to be the king of the fish. I hope to live up to the name 🐟

Oh nice. There’s only two bosses/mini-bosses I dislike in that game, that one’s one of them. It just doesn’t seem very Sekiro to me personally. The next section is one of my favourite parts though, which makes up for it for me. Good luck! It’s an awesome experience, and one of the few games I’ve bothered to get all the achievements for.

Funny, after water, beer and coffee are my two most consumed drinks. I like whisky too but haven’t been drinking as much lately. It kind of comes and goes.

Amazing. This makes me want to try and find that old Pokémon card somewhere in my parents’ house

I’m horrified. Thank you.
If you’re bored and want another one, I haven’t checked through the comments but Dragonite has always been my #2. I had a card of him with the carrier bag and I always wanted to have him on my teams on the video games. Ruin that one, or fuse it with Lapras, that would be very interesting.


Here is my Bulova Sea King “Whale” from 1971 that I bought used a couple years ago. Still runs very well 54 years later.

I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it like that. Everyone I know says “gaygged”. Must be a regional thing or something.

I’m pretty sure I saw ChrisSimpsonsArtist post this a while back. He does a lot of, uh, interesting drawings, where most have way more than the typical number of fingers. Pretty sure this is intentionally too many fingers.

That’s one of my all-time favourite games. How far are you? I’m jealous you get to experience it for the first time.

My favourite has always been Lapras. Ruin my childhood for me please.

I love her large ears. Reminds me of a fox.
Islay was named after the scotch, so you were right about the island in Scotland! When she was a little younger, the grey in her coat was far lighter in colour and looked like a smoky colour, so I figured since Islay is usually a smoky scotch (and my personal preference for any hard liquor outside of Canada), the name seemed fitting. We would’ve called her Peaty if she went by he instead, for the same reason.
I hadn’t put two and two together with my username here, that’s hilarious.

When I told my coworker about Islay, she got very excited to use that fact to help support her arguments with her right wing family or whoever she argues with about this sorta thing. Thankfully all my friends and family are left wing, most are far left, so I don’t ever have those sorts of arguments in my life, but I was more than happy to help her situation.

Oh definitely, I will. She’s worth the much higher price.

Agreed. I love her coat, she’s such a model.

I’m not too sure! That’s a good question though. I’m curious now, I’ll have to ask the vet the next time I see her.

More often than not, cats with both parts tend to develop cancer as a result of it, apparently. That’s according to the vet anyway. But yeah I think they tend to be sterile in most cases.

Good to know, thanks. That’s just what the vet called her, I wasn’t aware there were bad connotations with the term.

Both parts. Islay has both testicles and a uterus. We call her a she (since our other cat is a boy so it’s just easier if one is he and one is she), but technically she’s a they. Unfortunately it’ll be very expensive to get her fixed because of it.

Weird, on my end it doesn’t look like that. I’ll take a closer look on my break today.

I will say, lately I’ve been on a nostalgia kick, and have been going through the Pokémon games again. I’m emulating them, but recently found my GameBoy Colour and there’s just something about the non-backlit screen. Somehow the colours just look better to me, I’m not sure why. It’s definitely objectively worse, but I like it anyway for some reason.

I’ll keep an eye out for that album as a used CD or record, if I can find a copy for cheap. All my money will stay in Canada that way. Thanks for the recommendation!
You should listen to more Lightfoot! His discography is vast, there’s bound to be more of his stuff you like. At the same time, there’s probably lots of stuff you won’t like. I’m personally a big fan of his record Gord’s Gold, it’s a comp album but he re-recorded everything for it, so it’s all new recordings (or was all new in 1975), which gives you a more mature voice on some of his older tracks. Canadian Railroad Trilogy especially sounds way better rereleased (though I love the original too, it’s probably my favourite song of his). It’s a pretty early comp album though, and is missing a few of his biggest hits, like Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald. He has Gord’s Gold Vol. 2 as well but it’s not as good imo.

I was about to go to bed but looks like he beat me to it. I guess I'm sleeping in the living room tonight



The Last of Us totally blew me away
I’d never played TLOU before, but was recently looking for something new to play and heard great things about it. My parents watched the show and loved it, so I decided to give it a shot. It took me a little bit to get into, but once I did I got hooked hard. I beat the game and then went on to watch the show with my wife, she loved it and now wants to watch me play Part II. Unfortunately that means I can only play it when she’s around, and given we both work shift work, means it might take me a long time to beat Part II, but it’s incredible so far. I’m not too far into it yet though so no spoilers for Part II please.
What does this community think of this game? I know it was very well received, I’m just curious how patientgamers feel towards it. Also, how did people like the show? I thought it was great but I’ve heard some people found it boring. I prefer the game but was very impressed with the show as well. I’m looking forward to season 2

Also, I’m playing around with what day of the week to post this, and seeing what days get the best interaction. If you have a preference, please let me know!

PS: to all who celebrate, merry Christmas, and I hope it was a lovely day.

Favourite games to play around Christmas time?
Lots of people have traditions for their favourite Christmas songs and Christmas movies, but I don’t see games get talked about as much. It makes sense, there’s not many Christmas video games, but does anyone have anything they like to play specifically around the holidays? For me, I always go back and play some Elder Scrolls games. I also tend to play a lot of racing games around Christmas (tradition with my dad), and of course most of my playtime in hockey games are during the winter. Does anyone else have anything they like to revisit, or any genres they save, for this time of year? I’d love to hear about it
