What do you mean by ‘living standard’ ?

My 2 cats have finally started playing! One is like 6, the other a kitten, and they’re both good and friendly cats and were just taking time to warm up to each other. I heard growling and expected a fight, but saw them on the floor playfully tussling! they’d get up, chase each other, tussle a bit more… I had a royal bastard of a cat for the longest time, and am happy to finally have cats capable of being friends! Fingers crossed that they cuddle properly in the future.

Is the linked opencollective system the best / only way to donate? When I first joined and was unsure and hopping around on instances I starting doing patreon mastodon.world; does any of that flow towards beehaw?

Nice! I’m not too far off that, but I have a touch of experience with DnD and played the first Divinity game for a few hours (before losing interest). REALLY enjoying BG3 so far. It’s miles beyond that first game, which was a bit jenky and not as well written.

Save scumming required? no not at all. It’s a DnD style game, so the way the quests play out will change but barring a full party wipe you shouldn’t need to reload much. But do I save scum to get better roles so I can loot the chest? absolutely.

Preach!

Very good point about it not being about you. I didn’t really understand that until I was on the other side and doing some hiring. Sometimes we’d have no qualified applicants for months (like, we had a junior dev position and got people applying that knew nothing about code), and other times we’d have 10+ applicants that were perfect and we wanted to take all of them.

I used to think if I didn’t get a job it was on me. Turns out it’s a numbers game (assuming you’re not applying for something like a junior dev position with only cust service experience).

Lemon Cardboard seemed to fit for some reason? Which means she’s Lemmy for short… Kind of a strange coincidence.

I got a kitten. Want to see pictures?

Edit: Here’s us having cuddles on her first day home.

She can be loud.

She’s decided this is her bed. I need to chase her off and get a clean one!

Aww. Very nice that she’s back.

I hear you on coyotes. I’m one house away from their territory and although it’s nice to hear then every night, my fuzzball got out once and I was rightly panicked (he turned up after 2 days… nothing near your ordeal).

Madness. Next you’ll be saying trees have individual leaves and not just big clumps.

Hooray! Now, when she came back was she happy to see you, or did she just do the cat thing and say “eh, you again”, check out her food dish, and go to bed.

You can longboard on trails? I thought longboarding was just for roads or other smooth / paved things. Or maybe I don’t know anything about longboarding :D Sounds cool!
