Started playing Animal Well the other day. It's quite good.

I once sat down next to my cat and calmly said "I wish you would shut the fuck up." And she responded by biting my knee.
I was like, "yeah ok, I deserved that one."

Our dog gets distracted easily and doesn't react when we call her while we're outside.
Occasionally, she decides she wants to visit the neigbors and takes off down the street with my fat ass in hot pursuit. And she loves to let us get close and run around us as we try to catch her to bring her inside. It's just a game to her, but it drives me nuts.
And then she runs back to the door to go inside as if it was what she wanted to do, and I'm thinking "nah, removed, we go inside because I want to, not because you do."

The food I made did have a tiny bit of me in it. That's why I'm not allowed anywhere near a kitchen anymore.

I don't think I ever got more than $200 in a month. But I keep the money in a separate account and only use it for game dev or business stuff.

I don't typically go for racing games, but I have fond memories of playing Extreme-G on the N64. It had wepons, high speeds, and a soundtrack that tricked a young me into thinking I might like techno music.

Grime. I lost my patience on one of the bosses and just couldn't get back into it.

I went through this just a few weeks ago. It was really hard seeing her refuse to eat anything. But at least she seemed to like looking outside, laying on her favorite blanket.

Had to put mine down several weeks ago. She was also 18. I lost several other pets and four grandparents without shedding a tear, but this one broke me.
The vet appointment was at 6pm, so I could spend the last day with her. She acted more or less normal for her age, except not eating for three days and throwing up water.
I was rubbing her head until her heart stopped. I still miss her so much.

I didn't migrate yet because I was five years into a project that I can only work on in my spare time, but you can bet that if I ever start another game, I'm looking at a different engine.

My cat used to wait for me to clean the litter box. Sometimes she'd look in it and walk away if it had too many clumps, but then use it immediately after I clean it.

I had one years ago with internet explorer that ended up being because "console.log" was not defined in that browser unless you had the console window open. That was fun to troublshoot.
I just got a bill for a Wayfair credit card that was issued by Citi bank that I did not apply for. I never even shopped on that website. I tried contacting both Citi bank and Wayfair, but since I don't have the full account number, I couldn't get past Citi's automated phone menu. Wayfair's phone system was a fucking nightmare getting transferred to various departments, but eventually transferred me to a foreign call center where they insisted that they needed my social security number and birth date to file a report, but I'm not giving them that. The best thing is that the scammer managed to get a higher credit limit than I was able to get on my own card.
For example, I saved a bunch of these small cardboard sheets that were separating the rows of cans in a box of cat food. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/93fe0342-3c15-48e2-9ece-57b8182113c6.jpeg) Add some glue and you have a little tent for your cat. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/6e26878b-5dbd-4d6c-9b18-f90a7eee79d3.jpeg)
I only ask because the bulging seems slight enough that I'm not 100% certain that's not just how the battery is supposed to look. This is inside a Lenovo ideapad flex 4. I only opened it to replace the hard drive.
After I showed her one of the bird videos, she now eagerly waits while I turn on the tablet in the morning and she watches me open Youtube and pick a video. Sometimes she accidentally closes the video, or opens the comments and then I need to step in to make sure she doesn't post any offensive comments. ![](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/e4gdc8aven4.jpg)
This isn't really meant to save anyone's life. But it would let someone know to come pick up your corpse before it melts into the carpet and your cat starves.
I don't remember why I originally bothered to read this manual 25 years ago, but I ended up reading it to enjoy the jokes and humorous writing it contained. ![](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/my8xcwzx694.jpg) ![](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/345xcgbz5d7.jpg) ![](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/84apckrz8x4.jpg) ![](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/k46ac5rode7.jpg) ![](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/pyvdce3rq6y.jpg) ![](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/6yxkcmen3g7.jpg) ![](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/b49zcpjalvy.jpg) ![](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/l4necj9ern4.jpg)
She's clearly having fun, running around in circles, chewing sticks, and finding and eating cat poop. And I don't want to discourage her from having fun when I take her outside (except for the cat poop thing -- that needs to stop). But she seems to have the idea that jumping up and biting my wrists or my ankles is a fun game that we both enjoy, and she seems to be getting more agressive about it. ![](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/my2pcxlrop7.png)

Let me preface this one by saying that the blame for this is entirely on me and my carelessness when shopping online. I did not get scammed. I was just being stupid. Several times. So I recently bought a synthesizer to connect to my MIDI controller (an 88 key keyboard with some knobs and blinking lights and shit). I saw that this new device has a 3.5mm MIDI port while I only had the classic 5-pin kind. No problem, I'll buy an adapter. The adapter arrives, and I discover that the one I bought has the female 5-pin connector and won't plug into the keyboard. Well, crap. Buy another adapter. Made sure the 5-pin side was male. Oops. Turns out that the 3.5mm MIDI cables come in type A or type B, and I chose poorly. So I search for "midi type a to b converter" and without thinking at all, I bought a converter that has two female connectors. Fuck me. At this point, a sane person would've just cut the first two adapters and soldered the correct ends together, but fuck it, I'm in too deep now. I gotta get a 3.5mm MIDI cable with two male ends to complete this daisy-chain of madness and find out how long it takes for me to get bored and find another hobby.

I'm tired of hearing about popular games. Are there any games you played and were surprised by how little attention it got? A game you really enjoyed, but was only reviewed by five people?

I have an app that I released a couple years ago (plus another legacy app that I maintain for one of my company's clients). My game has a long-ish title, but it was fine until some asshat at Google decides that 33 characters is too long. On top of that, every time I'm forced to update the target SDK, I need to spend several hours figuring out a bunch of new build errors. This is not how I wanted to spend my vacation time.
