I loved exile so much! It was made by pesto studios and I feel like cyan wouldn’t want to make any of the non cyan Myst games. However they sought after and received the rights to all of the Myst games. So who knows, maybe they would.

This demos so well! I played the original 1997 Riven, I hope 2024 Riven can make an impression on newcomers!

It’s so deep, expansive and immersive and I’m not sure if there is anything else out there that has the same feel.

Ok now I want to know where people live, if they have AC, what temperature their bedrooms are and how it effects their night water habits.

I’ve never tried keeping water by my bed at night, and chugging if I wake up in the middle of it now I’m night bottle curious 🤔

Like, will I feel magically hydrated and limber in the morning? Just another thing that I add to my routine to make me feel great in the morning?

I’ll update if I piss the bed.

Do people wake up in the middle of the night and drink a whole bottle of water? Am I missing something?

I’m usually like “don’t want to be warm under the covers and need to pee, I don’t dare hydrate past 9 pm”

Omega mart in Las Vegas might come close?

Can’t think of large scale ones unless you include the rest of Las Vegas.

It’s an inhaler corticosteroid and anti inflammatory often used for asthma but incredible for post infection cough.

If I’m ever sick and have a cough, this puts a stop to that symptom and recovery is so much faster. Don’t even touch any over the counter cough medicine over this imo.

This is such a good reply! I didn’t see it before I posted despite it being older, must have been a fedi hiccup.

Just because your parents have dogs doesn’t mean they can offer a safe environment or know what to do with them. All the changes and the environment posed for your dog are incredibly stressful for the dog. Please be compassionate that your dog is going through more than you even though you literally broke your leg and probably experienced the worst pain in your life. Changes in living situations are the biggest adjustments for dogs ever.

Please don’t listen to people suggesting anything with the word dominance, pack mentality, wolf study, punishment or anything forcefull. All of that is guaranteed to make things worse.

A certified trainer (CCPDT and the various acronyms associated, the dog academy, anyone force force free) will get you on course faster than any website or book.

If you want your dog to make it out of this, your dog has to be a priority, make it your part time job.

My quick advice if you can’t afford a trainer and will only look up free internet advice from strangers:

Start with giving them something low value to chew on in a distraction free room. Have 10 minutes worth of super high value treats. When they are chewing the low value, walk up to them and give them the treat. Let them chew on the low value again. Repeat. Try for 10 minutes at a time. Adjust value of chew and treat so they don’t react when you walk up to them.

Next session, If they start wagging their tail when you approach. Try making it harder by taking the item for 1 second then, give them the treat then give it back. Ramp up duration or value of chew and items as progress is made

All of this has to be a happy and joyful affair. You are using a happy and friendly puppy voice the whole time. The dog has to feel good about this the whole time. So make sure you and the dog are in as good of a place mentally when doing it. This will all be harder if the dog doesn’t have other prerequisites like a leave it or drop it command.

There are so many ways you need to modify the above strategy for your particular dog that I can’t stress enough how valuable you’ll find a certified force free trainer to be. A vet check might also be suggested by the trainer. I think my advice is barely scratching the surface of what to do and how to do it, I haven’t even met your dog so what do I even know? Very little!

If you need proof that force free methods are a way, the AVSAB statements are quick and easy to read with tonnes of source citations: https://avsab.org/resources/position-statements/

This is incorrect.

Every reputable source and organisation recognize this pack and dominance theory as an outdated idea, especially for human animal interactions.

The American vetinary society of animal behaviour has very direct and well written statements on that and where the ideas came from and what the modern solutions are.

Yeah! Who’s getting more sad about getting socks every year? As soon as I moved out I started appreciating the gift 😃

If people ask for gift hints I often say “fun socks!”

God, I loved its brand of sci-fi weirdness. Season 2 was extra strange, and I was here for it.

I was sad it got cancelled, but I knew the world wasn’t ready for it

The same behavior happened when sync came out. Endless complaints about an app being from on app store with the option to pay the hard working developer for their work.

Do they go on public transit complaining that see ads there too? At least when you pay for the app the ads go away forever.

Yes! It’s much nicer than fdroid.

Thirsty dog speaks the truth.

I would agree with this answer for the Zeitgeist of how Canadians see Albertans from a stereotypical way, and this is true for our rural population. But politically, Ontario takes the Alabama cake for voting in so many Ford’s so many times. How do you guys keep doing this?

I’ve read all the responses here and am horrified that you seem to live in an ungrounded plastic bubble. Is that a Canberra thing? Or can’t even find a small metal object the size of a coin to make discharging painless, how why?

If it’s an old house there should be tonnes of metal things to touch.

Corners of walls, radiators or central air vents or return air vents, screws on switches or power outlets, furniture with metal bits on it, sinks taps and water fixtures with metal parts, thermostat, fireplace casing.

Literally touch everything and report back.

Yeah wall corners are often metal and the paint on it seems to soften the discharge.

Damn, I was going to suggest this, I do it all the time. Perhaps shuffle around and touch everything in sight until you find something that zaps and therefore discharges you. Once you find something grounding (zappy) touch that before you touch your dog.

If by a good chunk of change you mean free then yes. Mod tools are not paywalled in sync. I think the reasoning was that mods don’t really get paid so they decided not to add insult to injury and mod tools are free.
