Maybe it's the world is a lot bigger or I'm supposed to be using the horse more, but I feel like I'm not seeing the golden bird that guides me to a new activity as much in Yotei, and I really relied on that mechanic in Tsushima to get me exploring and keep me engaged. Good game. But I miss my friend

Kind of takes the cat thing off the table, but hey, sometimes a bird shows up in your garage.

I was encouraged by the pigeon rehab folks not to expect a return phone call, and not to return the bird. Apparently the pigeon racing scene is a lot like the greyhound racing scene used to be. And it is more than likely that this poor creature was abandoned intentionally. Buying the enclosure now.

No updates. A couple folks in the racing pigeon scene said they'd try to figure it out come monday, but I haven't heard back. I'm going to make some calls tomorrow. If I don't learn anything, I will begin operating under the assumption that I have a bird now. Already got an enclosure picked out.

It is intolerant of the dev team, which, as we all know, is a slippery slope to having a platform where mods are not canonized super-beings.

I think it should be socially and legally acceptable to smack these clean off somebody's face if they're filming you against your will

Now I'm faced with a serious question:

Do I start Ghost of Yotei or do I move on to Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories?

When Simple and Clean drops during the ending scene of Kingdom Hearts 1, it does something to me emotionally that nothing in my real life has ever managed.

Techbros- "AI will soon take over. Virtual assistants are already smarter than the average person."

Meanwhile:

Anyone- "Text James that we'll meet him at 6."

Every virtual assistant- "King James the VI sponsored the creation of the King James Bible. The accuracy of the translation is disputed-"

He has immediately become everything to me. Obviously, my hope is that the information I've gathered will help me find his owner so he can go back to the place he knows and loves. But if he has to stay with me, I will do everything I can to make my home his.

Since Jordan Peterson's back in the hospital I'd like to take a moment to remember his highlights

He is getting ready for bed. The pigeon rehab people I've been talking to call this "Cake Pop Mode" and say it means he's comfortable.

The pigeon I rescued. Perched on one leg with his head partially tucked into is body.

If we can't find this little dude's owner then I'm the owner now.

Staring down the barrel of being the type of person that owns a pigeon.

We had a good run, but Jill and I have decided to go our separate ways. Convention appearances will not be affected. We're still very close and the waters are calm. However, this is a big change for both of us and we request that you respect our privacy. I will not be taking questions at this time.

While I understand the impulse to run away from the repetitive enemies in the worlds of Kingdom Hearts, I've chosen to fight them when they appear this time. As a result, I have been properly or even overly leveled to fight the world boss. Unfortunately, this is how this game was meant to be played.

1. I wish this big boy ill.
2. No, I've replayed it several times, I just hate this enemy type in particular so, so, so very much.
3. I hope to God I didn't make your job harder. Final scripting sounds like a real bear and those who do it are unsung heroes in the dubbing industry.

Whoever designed this fucker and then decided he should be literally everywhere and turn around instantaneously so you can't damage him should be in prison.

The large heartless from Kingdom Hearts that cannot be damaged from the front and spawns everywhere

Peacemaker is a really good show and it's a fucking crime that they made all those actors learn all that choreography for the opening sequence.
