Higurashi the freakout part of my reaction the actual discussion part

Dallas County is slapping up mask mandates and some people are losing their fucking minds. They can literally die mad about it, I'm just glad that schools are part of it. shit's crazy. In other news, my dumbshit cousin has tested positive for covid, turns out she had it a full 3 days before I predicted to my mother that she'd get it within a week, so props to her for subverting expectations I guess but WERGQRTFNGWRSFBDZGAWEGDVAEWTRABFGASD

ugh. Fun times. I had to take one of the cats to the vet today and they had been super strict for a year about covid stuff, you could only pull up and let them come get your pet, talk to you about it all over the phone, etc. They didn't open their lobby up until a few months ago when they were all vaccinated. I wore my mask in there today because there's just too much spiking happening, and I was the only one in the building with one. I don't think they're being flippant or anything, but I do wonder if/when they'll go back to tightening up on masking and distancing. Thanks to our shithead state government they might have trouble going back to stricter policies, although if anyone gives one of the best vet teams I've ever seen in my life any shit i'll go brawl in the parking lot, fuck it

I mean, technically Pete's proper name is Pizza Hut, but Steve has always just been Steve

lmaooooooo fuck that guy

I like to tickle his spotty toes and chant "Pete's peets"

god, I saw your city pop up in my twitter trends and was like oh boy people in Erika's neck of the woods still actin' up and SURE ENOUGH I can only hope that their "check" for it is to try and connect to your personal 5G and if you don't come up on their phone you're good. That or one of those pet microchip scanner wands. Fucking hell edit: I meant to quote MT but I'm dumb and lazy second edit: what the entire fuck, Alberta

WARNING: SAD SHIT IN THIS POST also I ramble like hell but I just had a breakthrough in my mourning so bear with me or just ignore the text, there WILL be pics to follow *you can skip this first part if you don't wanna read the sad I don't mind* So, I very excitedly introduced Percy to y'all a few months back. Pretty sure a lot of you know, but I haven't been able to fully talk about it but I think I'm ready to. We lost him due to an accident, we took him to the emergency vet and threw a lot of money at them but in the end the kindest thing was to let him go peacefully, because he was just too young and small to endure treatment. They said that if he'd been even a week or so older then there could have been a chance. It destroyed us for a while. Sometimes it still destroys me. I don't care if I only had him for 2 weeks, we pulled him out of a car engine, he instantly became ours. We loved him so much. He was my literal dream kitten--- an incredibly loving all black cat with THUMBS. We'll never know if he had the halloween eyes that would have truly made him my dream kitten. His were still baby blue. When we pulled him out of that engine we promised him we'd keep him forever and keep him safe, and we failed him. As we laid him to rest in our back yard I begged for his soul, his essence, something to listen to me, and asked if it was possible in the universe that he send us another kitten in need someday. I know it's silly, but I have weird views about animals and souls and stardust, whatever don't judge me. Percy had come into my life right after I lost a very close uncle. It was like losing a father figure. Percy was supposed to be a reprieve from grief, it almost felt like he was sent by my uncle to help my grief for him. In the end all I got was guilt that I didn't magically know the accident was going to happen and more grief. One of the lowest points of my life. *here's where it gets happier* Just a few weeks later we'd had a tentative talk with my wildlife mentor because she usually takes in some foster kittens during kitten season on top of the wildlife intakes, and we figured it couldn't hurt to see if any of hers felt right. Then the day before we're set to go meet hers another friend calls and is like heyyyyyyyy want a kitten? Turns out his wife had been leaving to go to work and saw a lil tuxedo kitten in the road so she stopped her car and got out to try and catch him but he crawled up underneath. She called her husband who starts hauling ass on foot to get to her since she's only a few blocks away from their house. By the time he gets there, kitten gets spooked out from under the car and starts running down the sidewalk towards the busier road when suddenly their mail carrier steps up, hollers something like "this what you're after?" and then she just intercepts him and snatches him right up. When we heard the story and saw his picture we both genuinely felt that Percy had sent us this one. His name is Pizza Hut (longish stupid ass story) but we call him Pete. He's helped me through my grief so much. He's currently in that wild stage where kittens will get the demons going and just tear all over the house for hours and then come plop in your lap for a snooze and snuggle. So everyone, forgive my rambling, it was therapeutic, and more importantly MEET PETE! he started as a lil fluffy potato but he's currently in that stage where he's longer and lankier and his fluff hasn't caught back up yet.

As far as I know, the only way to see full uncensored versions of this would be from the home release versions after broadcast. I know Funimation aired a lot more uncensored stuff for the US streams but not all of the censoring was removed. For example this scene from Gou (linked in the following spoiler for, well, spoilers and NSFW) still had censoring in the US stream but most other stuff did not. This is the uncensored version though The US regional blurays aren't out yet but I think the first set is due to come out in October? So we'll start seeing rips then. There might be some from the Japanese blurays but I haven't looked that hard because I plan on buying the bluray sets when they come out.

We might have had someone bow out, we're still discussing when this will actually be able to happen, so there might be a spot open! Everything's up in the air right now though

https://discord.gg/bHDyrBuvhw Lee has requested that players join this server! He said 6 party is about the limit and it looks like we've got 6 of us with our hats in the ring!

pfft heroforge and picrews PLEASE let an expert show you how it's done here's my fully polished character design are they horns? are they cat ears? who fucking knows but there's BIG OLE BAZONGAS

Lee is a very experienced DM and he knows how to help new folks along, so don't sweat any noob feelings, we all start somewhere. I haven't played in YEARS so I might as well be back to the basics but that's part of why I'm eager for this to happen!

I spoke to Lee and he said he would be happy to run a little introductory type session! For more seasoned players, it'd just be the 5e Intro Adventure so bear that in mind, but he feels it's a great way to introduce it to new folks and to let a group feel out a vibe together, so let's make this happen!

Oh man, that's a big change for sure!! I've never lived by myself before either, sometimes I wish I had for a bit just to learn how to better be alone but that's not how things worked out so guess that's a flavor of life skill i'll continue to lack in! I love that your roomie is still gonna be close and accessible, that should make things easier for everyone, but still very intimidating! Come in here and holler at us if you get lonely, unfortunately for you some of us Center roomies will never ever move out >>

Finally had the brainspace to sit and marathon TWEWY and loved it! Made me really miss the game, but the animation on its own was a fun experience and I really like how they handled it. It very much served its purpose of setting up hype for TWEWY Neo.... I was already excited but now..... MEGA EXCITE.
