That happened to my family's first cat (misdiagnosis). He was having trouble breathing and walking. We took him to a vet who said he had allergies or some bullshit like that without even really looking at him. He was dead the next morning. Feline leukemia.

...Er, not trying to scare you or anything.

No, I'm kind of prepared for it. I'm more worried about him suffering than anythign else.

I mean, I'm really hoping I'm just overreacting and he's just got some little virus or infection but the whole "won't lay down cause he can't breathe" thing seems a pretty big indicator.

Ugh, I told her to stop taking him to that vet. They always fuck shit up.

My dipshit sister took him to the vet, vet claims he's perfectly healthy and it's just early arthritis. Gives him vaccinations and charges us 200 dollars

But he refuses to lay down, refuses to eat, is wheezing like no other. I ask my sister how the fuck the vet could have possibly thought this was healthy and she just shrugs.

Look it up, and it looks like he has Blastomycosis. Honestly, we didn't have the 200 dollars for *this* vet trip that was a complete waste, let alone another one plus whatever drugs he's going to need.

Ugh, this fucking sucks.

But seriously, probably that. The video even says more people than you'd even want to play with, and it looks kind of buggy with a lot of people. So I'm guessing that they were making a multiplayer hack for Super Mario 64 and figured why not just push it to the limit because they could.

How many such events will it take to convince you?

More than one. Jesus Christ this is like basic fucking shit, people.

Like, what happens if next year everything goes back to normal and we don't have major end of the world hurricane events? Then we magically somehow cooled the earth and saved it? That's how dumb some people are sounding over this.

The funny thing is, I believe that climate change is effecting the weather. But the way some people act like one event is the proof of this makes me sad for the future of science.

To be fair, Kojima completely flip/flops motivations between MGS4 Peace Walker and V so it makes sense that people seem to miss that point.

Like MGS4 makes it seem like everything that happened was a mistake nobody planned on and all they wanted to do was make a perfect world like The Boss wanted.

Then Peace Walker comes around, and Zero and Cipher are complete fucking assholes and Big Boss completely rejects the Bosses will.

But then MGS V comes out, and it turns out Zero was comatose most of the time.

So like, even Kojima couldn't make his fucking mind up.

Metal Gear Solid was infinitely better when Big Boss was a villain and not some misunderstood whiney anti hero tbqh.

Although I guess they half assed tried to make him a villain again by the end of MGS V so it's whatever. Just like they tried to half ass his motivations in Peace Walker to fix the massive fuck up that was MGS4.

So which part of it sucked? Do tell then. Did you even watch the movie?

I watched it when it came out. I just remember not liking the whole thing. The only specifics I can say now is that I didn't like the bullet curving stuff and I thought the story was kinda dumb.

It's nothing to get upset about. I just didn't like it. Chill out.

There was one dude I knew who was wanting to become a doctor, but he started to talk about all sorts of crazy shit and started to sound radicalized so I stopped talking to him back in 2004. Sometimes I wonder what happened to him, especially with how things in the US have gotten.

I like how whenever someone on here doesn't like a game, they revise history and say "it wasn't even that popular". I think that's interesting.

http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/la-noire-the-complete-edition

But okay, yeah, it was totally as popular as Rockstars other games.

BTW I would say the exact same thing if Manhunt or Smugglers Run were suddenly being remastered. They definitely weren't that popular but I still liked those games.
---

http://i.imgur.com/vQLlUd0.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/tWy9NTL.png

Like, LA Noir was okay but it's probably the least favorite of any Rockstar game I've ever played.

And I don't even remember it being that popular in the first place. But at the same time, RDR is apparently a complete mess from a coding standpoint, everything else was already re-released on IOS, and I guess they really have absolutely no plans of reviving Midnight Club, Manhunt or Smugglers Run (Outside of GTA Online updates)...

I only ever went to the mall when I was that age to buy something because I literally had to travel 20 miles to get there.

I can honestly say that as his cousin, we typically only went there to buy video games at Babbages or Gamestop, get a slice of pizza at the food court, and then left. Occasionally we'd check out the Spencers next door cause my sister worked there, but usually we didn't buy anything there cause it was overpriced.

In fact, we only started loitering at the mall in our 20's after we started college because we'd have 2 or 3 hours to kill between classes lol

This mall fucking sucks now so I don't even really understand why kids go there. It's all overpriced shit.

No, I would not accept it for the reasons already given in that it is too likely to be abused without any sort of gain for me. I have no reason to own automatic weapons, short barreled weapons or suppressors. (well, maybe suppressors but I'd rather just my neighbors deal with the noise than deal with licensing)

I would rather just leave it up to states to decide license and laws surrounding firearms.

I wouldn't be surprised if Smash Bros Switch or at least some sort of re-release of Wii U/3DS released around the time of the paid online. It'd certainly be a big way to get people on board with it.

Mario Maker though? I dunno. It's on 3DS already. I wish it would go to Switch since that was like the only thing I felt bad about giving up my Wii U over, but I don't really want to buy the 3DS version cause everyone told me it sucks.

Solid Sonic posted...

Any Sonic? You're mean.

I'm not saying Sonic is bad (although I've never cared for it myself), but like Sonic and Final Fantasy VII are games that get extra high on "casual" lists due to their legacy more than anything else. Saying overrated may have been the wrong word to use, but the fact they're not on this very clearly casual list is odd, to say the least.

Final Fantasy VII and at least one early Sonic game deserve to be *somewhere* on any top 100 list though on what they did for their genres alone.
---

http://i.imgur.com/vQLlUd0.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/tWy9NTL.png

Man, this list is odd even for a bad list.

Like...you're missing obvious platform staples like Donkey Kong Country 2 and RPG staples like Chrono Trigger.

But you don't even have like overrated staples like Final Fantasy VII and Sonic.

I'm surprised they even remembered to put Super Metroid in there.

2) Has it been established that Bran even knew where they were or what they were doing? He's not omnipotent. Close though, I think?

It has literally been established that Bran is specifically keeping tabs on the army of the dead in order to keep Jon and everyone else updated. It is far more reasonable to believe that he would have simply seen them in need of help during one of his many raven wargs than Gendry running and getting help like he did.

That's a good point.

But then I wonder, is it MORE or LESS believable that Bran would happen to be warging at that exact moment or seeing that exact part of the army? Just when they needed help. I think at one point he flies ravens near the Night King and he explodes them or something. OR is it better that the magnificent seven survive of their own accord? Through sending Gendry and him overcoming obstacles to help save them? Instead of just Bran sending a text to Dany somehow. People complain about coincidental timing but turn around and suggest that?

I don't complain about coincidental timing because it's a TV show, I complain that Gendry being able to make that trek in that amount of time doesn't follow the logic that the show previously had.

Where as Bran coincidentally seeing they need help through his powers that the show already established would follow that logic.

See, if Gendry was established to have the Flashes powers, or teleportation, or something then I wouldn't be complaining about this.

And I get that they wanted a big battle action sequence, but there were still better ways to do it. They're completely surrounded on that lake, but they could have simply made it so that even after the ice froze back over they still didn't attack, leaving Jon and them to wonder what the hell they are planning. Then maybe the dragons would roar as they approached, and THEN the NK would have his army to swarm to make it appear he's trying to get them before they can escape.

They set it up as like some big reveal that Dany showed up even though it was clear as fuck she was going to show up so there was no reason to have them battling in order to build tension on if she would show up or not.

http://i.imgur.com/vQLlUd0.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/tWy9NTL.png

It's just really fucking stupid if you put any amount of thought into what happened.

Like, the Night King can apparently throw spears like javlin missiles, but he literally just watches the dude from across a small bond for days (or hours, who the fuck can tell with this goofy timescale) without chucking anything at them.

But wait, his plan was to lure Dany out there to get her dragon you say? They had to be alive for that to happen? Then why the fuck did he have his entire fucking horde swarm them the second he could?

Why did we have to have this ridiculous scene where Gendry ran days worth of blizzard terrain in hours to call for help when we could have just had Bran see them in need of help and use his powers to alert Dany?

Then you have the stuff that makes it even dumber after episode 7? Why did Beric and Tormund have to live through that horde rush if they were just going to possibly die offscreen when the wall fell?

Shit was dumb

Most people will call me a shill now, but this update is far better than the last one simply because (at least from what I hear, I'm at work can't confirm) they got rid of the bullshit RNG research mechanic.

Also sounds like they made the flying MOC optional.

I could almost understand people defending the microtransactions at the start. Even up until Gunrunning came out.

But the bullshit Gunrunning pulled in regards to needing the Bunker to buy the MoC and the MoC to mod the new vehicles, on top of having to pay 225,000 to unlock random research customization or wait 3 hours was bullshit. It was complete fucking bullshit because before you at least had choice in what you bought, now you have no choice but to buy shit you don't want in order to get the stuff you do want.

Honestly, that's the problem with GTA Online. All of these updates feel the exact same. Stock Warehouse/Bunker/Drug Den/Airstrip and then sell whatever you stocked in said Warehouse/Bunker/Drug Den/Airstrip.

It's just gotten really boring. And all anyone does is do the business missions, grief the business missions, or play whatever crappy adversary mode has come out while it has 2x bonus pay. Oh, and occasionally you can get a race that isn't complete shit I guess.

I wish they'd had released the mission editor so we could at least make our own missions, but apparently they can't figure out a way to monetize that so fuck it.
