Oh, there's now missing posters for the cat I was asked about a week ago. He looks quite different from Cinder, so not so sure how they mistook Cinder for him. Cat has a white foot, white toes, white beard/crest.

And ofcourse these two.

Momma, the one that decided we needed more cats.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/3/2/AAGh9BAAD89k.jpg

And the one we don't name, but is desperately trying to integrate. She's ear tipped and spayed, and super friendly. We have a theory she was kept inside as a pet or over socialized, and either lost her food source for an extended period or deliberately under fed, because she is seriously underweight and lacks muscle/fat. That's Mirage investigating.

Onto the second set.

Jett, in an alternate angle that shows his spots/fluff.

Mirage, though the sun makes her look lighter it does help make the subtle differences visible.

Misty, she's the twin of Mirage with very minor differences, but has a grey undercoat. I assure you this is a different cat.

Mystic, in different lighting that more accurately portrays their black fade into brown. He cannot deny playing a part in their creation.

Ok, I would've done this yesterday, but it was a fair bit to sift through, but I feel I got reasonable images, while having a few extras, but when you're posting 10 cats that's already 10 images. I picked the ones that best showcased their features.
So here we go.

First up, is Cinder.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/1/2/AAGh9BAAD89Q.jpg

Sadie, his bonded littermate. Picked one where you can see her orange nova like feature.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/1/3/AAGh9BAAD89R.jpg

Sunnie, the very loud one with the perfectly split tone face, she's a blend of grey/gold.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/1/4/AAGh9BAAD89S.jpg

Sofie, the original big fluffy girl.

There was also Full Spectrum Warrior that was very close to the actual training tool used by the military at the time. I recall seeing the training tool and it's basically an alpha/beta game and would probably sell for 40 on steam these days as a finished game.

As for the original question, it's because they found gamers tend to have better coordination with using displays and controllers, thus are better at using unmanned vehicles or robots, though would need training ofcourse.

Oh yeah, this also reminds me of the time I was probably a target of being recruited in a video game. It was Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare 2, and I was using proper cover/suppression etc with an lmg. Guy then started going on about how good I was at doing such techniques like bounding and etc. Then was asking if I was in the service or considering it. It was one of those moments.

Wtf is a miqote?

The main race of FF14 and whatever other final fantasy mmo there is that includes them.

There's so many of them that they spill out of the containment zone.

Aww.. would you mind posting pictures of them? I remember how some of them looked from past pictures you posted..

I'll see if I can take some later, since it really comes down to weather/lighting, and getting them to chill out long enough.

I did post a recent one of Jett on an old car. Though I would like to get one of Misty and Mirage, with how impressively thicc their manes have gotten. It's remarkable at how much they look like Mystic, like little copy pastes.

Today was the first day where things seemed to be a bit closer to normal. All the cats were present and actually hung around for a bit to interact/socialize.

Misty seems to finally be coming around to letting me pet her normally, probably realizing there's worse out there than someone she's known for 13 months having to over extend to just barely stroke her head. Mirage is definitely missing Jaxx, but at least she's got her other two littermates.

As expected all the cats are too nervous/skittish to hang around the house too long, but they are together nearby in a neighbor's back yard. There's this black cat that looks 95% like Cinder that's been terrorizing them and randomly going under the house to run them out. He's very possibly the reason why Jaxx was forced out from cover and got caught. Ofcourse we'll never know the actual specific details of the incident.

Though on Sunday (27th) I was outside and this guy was with his kids looking for their cat. They asked if Cinder and Mirage were our cats due to the distance. He looks like Cinder, but with more white. Turns out their cat hadn't been seen for a few days and they were worried something happened to him. So I had to have the super uncomfortable moment of telling him about the dogs coming through here and it's unknown if they'd gotten any other cats at the time. Though we haven't seen one like that.

Did you know...

FEET! I think I see feet!!!

But seriously, I thought the one on the left center was just nips out at first.

There's been a few pinkish skinks here in the yard. The cats like to torture them, because they're so wiggly.

>:3

excellent

You really need to contact authorities about those dogs imho. Cats alone is bad but if they are a danger to cats, it's possible they will attack people or children too

We've already reached the same thought. Like I said, not really going to go into it until there's an actual outcome, so I just left it as 'may' to keep things slightly vague atm. I don't want to be the "put those dogs down" person, but the owners certainly need to be held responsible or authorities aware. Because they clearly can't control dogs with a prey drive that have killed at least twice.

They didn't finish the job with Jaxx, but they did about 85% of it, which is why we've already requested information from the clinic to support it.

In movies, people take one bite of food, then leave the restaurant. Do you think people do that in real life?

No, but it's just the visual of it that triggers memories of a relative that did do such a thing (the shoes). I also remember the slight of kraft singles cheese that they just let sit on their carpet and melt. It fused with the fibers.

Yeah, even on the bed.

That always bugged me on tv/movies.

And since I still have it sitting here easily accessible. Here's a flashback to when they first emerged to begin eating solid food. Jaxx is the grey on the left, and the only way to tell them apart at this point is due to the faint light spot on the top left center of his head between his ears. It's difficult to see in this, but it's there and remained. The other two are Misty and Mirage, but idk which is which.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/4/5/AAGh9BAAD7Fd.jpg

It occured to me yesterday/earlier that I haven't really taken pictures of them for a bit, probably due to the weather/lighting and just general dealing with stuff.

So a few hours ago I took one of Jett when he was stationary enough with decent lighting. Jett and Jaxx were essentially twins, the differences being that Jaxx was a bit lighter colored, Jaxx had more stripe bias vs spot bias like Jett, and he not quite as fluffy/large, but came very close. I'll see if I can find a recentish image of Jaxx, but not sure. Should also add that Jett is currently the second largest and might even overtake Mystic in size.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/3/9/AAGh9BAAD7FX.jpg

Thanks.

Apparently the dogs come from an area with cats all over the place, but they come over here to kill these. Makes one wonder if they've gotten even more.

Pretty sure the only aggression Jaxx ever showed in 14 months was playful chewing on my shoes and standing up to Mystic to prevent his sisters from being randomly bullied.

The others are also already starting to notice his absence, since a few keep vocalizing for him to come and watching the direction he'd usually hang out.

I gave each of the rest a good hug, except for Misty and Mystic.

Mirage and Sunnie were the most bonded ones with him, and seem to be waiting for him. Others are freaked out, as expected.

One of the quirks that was unique to Jaxx, was that I could literally just squat down and he'd come running over to lounge under me using my foot as a prop, like I was some sort of protector. Then he'd purr up a storm. He did that ever since he was about 2 months old, not sure why. Just some odd thing he'd do only to me, now I'm gonna miss it.

*sighs*

Today was a tragic Thanksgiving here. Had to euthanize Jaxx.

He was fine, stayed around the yard, slept in a tree. At about 3 pm, two large dogs roughly labrador/boxer size from a nearby street came running through. He must have been on the front porch, but they chased him in some manner and cornered him against a fence, they hurt him bad. He had no external injuries, but clearly had internal damage that turned out to be fatal.

The people that own the dogs were seen driving around to find them, they were confronted, and the younger one pinned the fault on Jaxx for 'being a feral cat and attacking the dogs' when he actually hides from dogs/people and is a super cuddle bug to me.

He was only 14 months old, but I guess that's how it goes.

I should note this is the third time now those specific dogs have gotten loose and tried to get the cats, this time they were successful. I won't disclose, but there may be action taken as they've killed a nearby calico previously.

Took long enough

Taylor, you get to watch automobile and anarchy, but at least you might get a really neat room.

Plus think of all the grunting.

2002, at least from my pov.

I recall actually being excited and playing through games with minimal issue, ofcourse might have needed a guide or something, but you could usually pop down to blockbuster or whatever, rent and finish a game within the 5 days, repeat.

Now it's almost a competition to see just how little they can put onto a physical format, while somehow requiring a continent or two of your storage space. Then you might need a seperate account linked to your other account to go along with the other linked accounts. And your rewarded with either a 100 hour slogfest or a 2 hour quickie, both of which may have gamebreaking bugs rendering it futile to even bother playing, but it's ok, you can throw money at them for some sparkly shoes in a first person shooter without the ability to see your legs.

I failed somewhere between 48 minutes and 1 hour 12 minutes into the month.
Really lived up to the whole cheetahs being known for speed not endurance.

No

I didn't demonstrate it, they saw enough.

Wow guys, the first game was great, I can't wait to play the second game 100% as solid snake

I had to refresh my memory in that I wasn't misremembering, but that game was great when it came to a certain part.

Whole damn game my parents didn't care to enter the room, when they finally do it's naked Raiden running around leading to "this is what you're playing!?".

It is a hard dose of time passage... still remember that chubby lil thing first coming out, though I waited until the DS lite came out.

Nintendo wants you and all your internet friends to cram themselves onto a futon and connect via link cable because they can't quite figure it out.

Based on my experiences with AID and NAI, I can imagine just how dumb/questionable it was. Not sure why they thought a scientific research paper generator would be a brilliant idea, when OpenAI have a 175 billion parameter model locked and sealed away because it knows too much resulting in it being a danger and only allow it to be used for the most wholesome simplest things under strict rules while charging a limb for it.

It always does...

The best part is when you see the canned version just sitting there, cylinderical and ribbed for her pleasure as it's taken aspects of the can. That right there is fine dining.

I do like it, but it really doesn't live up to expectations.

Tabaxi, if my memory isn't corrupt.

You know it was coming.

Psychotic Vampire

Eh, I suppose it's alright. Though I'm having a hard time making it 'good' or even a power.
I suppose playing on the one variant it could be a sort of blood kineticist, using powers to alter/control blood even inside someone to make them pass out or save them.

The other option is to stab and bite people because I'm hallicunating my ass off.

woe is me

I used to call M&M's emitty m's when I was very young.
Then my cousin made fun of me for calling them "enemy m's" and an innocent treasure died, because I stopped.

Yeah, they're super complicated little rascals.

Prefer cats, though have had a dog in the past and totally don't mind them either. My biggest issue with a dog is that it's a bit more of a responsibility, such as walking it, obedience, etc. Which is why it used to slightly annoy me when relatives would try to push a dog on me hard, which is easy for them to say since they don't have to actually deal with it.

Had a neighbor for 2 years that really shouldn't have had a dog, just to reinforce things... boxer/pitbull size, locked up in a cage for 12-15 hours a day, messed inside on the carpet constantly, ran around the neighborhood unleashed, flea infested. They even got a second dog, because they had the first one so under control. They moved, so I don't know whatever came of them.

I remember this one time, when I had to spend like 3 hours at the library for reasons. I got it so I could use their computers and while that's awkward enough, I had this old guy straight up looking over at the monitor seeing RI at the time. 2005ish.

I kinda wonder what they were thinking when they saw the message board name and the weird topics at the time. I decided that was enough and never used them again.

40mm launchers are op in real life gunfights as well.

I mostly refer to game balance. In cod4 they were fine, in WaW I basically didn't use them as I was an iron sight arisaka masochist that would bayonet charge or run the BAR for more 'reasonable' gameplay.

Then came mw2 and it was like a disease... so now they're near useless in every game since, because we can't be having an explosive going off 3 feet away kill a player.

The Gate

That shit gave me weird nightmares once and I never knew the name of it for years. It's sure to go well with enhancements.

The noob tube one man army setup, was to have an AR with an underbarrel launcher and the perk one man army. I forget the rest of the setup, probably demolition expert or something that boosted explosive damage. Either way, the concept was simple. Fire your 40mm grenades, usually 2 of them. Then use one man army to swap to another class with the same setup. It restocked your equipment, so you could fire them off again, swap back to the first to repeat until you die.

I personally enjoy underbarrel launchers in certain games due to the optional utility of flushing someone out or finishing them off around cover. Unfortunately that garbage pretty much ruined them and caused much anger, so now you pretty much can't use them in any game.

The young black and white cat seems to be going unfed, so it's tried to integrate with these. That's ok, as it's actually super friendly and while a few aren't fond of it, there's no actual issue. I can even pick it up and other stuff.

However, it's pointed to a bigger issue. It's probably hungry, because it seems to be bullied by another black cat (or whoever TNR'd them stopped caring for them). From a distance it looks like Cinder, minus the white spot. It's ear tipped, but very aggressive and always chasing or trying to fight these even outnumbered 1 to 5+. It's clearly been fighting as its face is messed up, so I have a feeling they neutered it too late for it to avoid that aggression and it's most likely hungry.

Either way it's attempting to displace these and take over the territory, so every day gotta go out there and deter it. It's already got the younger ones missing meals in fear.

The flag on the vest's chest is backwards. The sleeve and rest are correct, but c'mon.

no. That's some bullshit. You want to ask my opinion on what something looks like? Show me a fuckin picture. don't ask me a question about it then ask me to find the picture myself.

It's green and black and looks kinda like a cat. There's all you need to know about that.

I agree it looks like a delphox/braixen copy job. I couldn't remember the pokemon's name it reminded me of, but it's basically a different top smooshed onto a braixen base as if it were made in a damn AI generator where you can still mostly make out the original.

You ain't missing much

It's not as bad as I thought it'd be, but still not a fan of it personally.
Just seems a bit meh, tilting slightly towards the 'goodish' end of the scale due to being slightly cute in aspects. I feel very mixed about it.

I guess more duct tape was needed to keep it on all fours.

They must have taken advice from the virginia country club that made the terrible 9/11 menu.

Though in a strange roudabout way the advertising totally works... because now everyone's thinking of KFC even if it's not in great light.

Several months ago, posted something I shouldn't have (durr), but yeah. It's still sitting in my history.

I constantly dream that I can fly by holding my breath and I've determined I actually do hold my breath in my sleep. So I'll probably aphyxiate myself trying to fly long distance.

My last dream was amazing, it was super detailed and I was in someone's room, and they had vintage posters that were surreal abominations. Those TMNT alien monster posters will haunt me for about a day.

It's usually the one with the exclusives I prefer, or at least a higher count of them. Followed by whichever name/mascot I like more. Kind of a mix, but it's also usually the 'secondary' version such as silver, sapphire, pearl.
