  • I mean, most people haven’t experienced a single day of existence where they’d have rather… Not.

    And it follows they have no concept of how someone can still function if they feel that way. Intuitively, you’d think those two things are mutually exclusive.

    So, probably also wierd how easy it can be to continue to go through the motions of life even as there is less than nothing inside.

    I hope the “days I want to be alive/days I want to not exist”-ratio improves for you.

    That’s rare.

    Being predators cats have a hunger drive that kicks in early to make them look for food before they’re too weak to hunt. In nature, cats are usually always a little hungry. Hence, if the food is palatable, most cats will eat constantly and end up eating more than they need by at least some margin.

    It’s not an active decision by the animal, but rather the hunger drive, which can vary quite a lot between individuals.

    This is complicated by the fact that cats are picky, to the point they can outright refuse to eat something they aren’t used to, or just eat less of it.

    My cat would never stop eating his favorite treat (freeze dried meats), the same cat eats a little too much kibble if I let him, and no wet food at all no matter how hungry he is. This kind of thing, you might argue is a decision.

    That’s… Not what I’m saying. What the fuck?

    The kitten doesn’t need to stay fat. That’s all.

    If a pet is getting its food from you, it’s on you to give it the right amount.

    The same applies to asking a vet for advice, if you don’t know.

    Bottom line: The health of a pet (or any animal in human care) is the responsibility of the respective human.

    My second comment initially made ABSOLUTELY NO STATEMENT beyond that fact, or what it means in practice.

    Ok.

    Doesn’t change that the health of an animal kept as a pet, is the responsibility of the respective human.

    Edit: are you downvoters assuming I’m suggesting you separate the kitten and mother? I’m not.

    Kittens and mother cats should go essentially untouched by humans for several weeks after birth.

    After that, just don’t continue to allow the kitten to overeat and it’ll be fine.




  • I think you made a common mistake. See, you don’t just bury the darkness, you need to also disossiate from reality so that even if you internally suffer accidental contact with the void, it doesn’t make it all the way out to become a physical expression.

    This way, you can disconnect your outward behaviour from you active thinking, so that even if you mentally implode, no-one can tell!

    Neat, huh?

    (This is horrible advice, do not attempt. Never hide this level of anguish with loved ones. Potentially useful in professional settings, but still harmful.)




  • And once again Konami proves they have no fucking clue what horror fans actually want.

    These companies keep trying to grab both bones, completely failing to realize the second bone is a fucking reflection.

    They have tapped some genuinely competent studios for this comeback of the franchise, but tightening the screws, like, at all, and this shit will blow up. Setting up four games from the start may already have been a mistake.

    If Konami wants more, they don’t need to make more Silent Hill. They have so many alternatives.

    FFS, they are sitting on fucking Zone of the Enders, despite Armored Core showing there’s plenty of appetite for that kind of game.

    Or how about a modern Castlevania? Anyone?

    Or, get this, publish for some small indie studios with neat ideas for completely new stuff, as a low cost way to discover new potential franchises?





  • Success, is when your work produces a bunch of value for you and your employees, financially uplifting an entire group of people.

    I’m sorry but I personally can’t see how selling your business so that a bunch of people who are already rich can use it to make even more, is a good thing in the long run.

    It’s one of the practices that is keeping the already rich on top, and more often than not leads to the business adopting the same opressive profit focus as everyone else.

    No-one looking to buy up or invest in companies is doing so for the good of the product or employees. They might claim they are, but ultimately, the whole point of investing, is getting a return. And once that priority is introduced, the people and the content will never again be first.
