This made me realize for the first time that Bowser is some kind of monster turtle thing, and not a generic dragon monster thing.

I..... I need to lay down. My mind has been sufficiently blown.

Well he's still a dragon, just one that has turtle as one of the main ingredients(an Ox is one of the others), I believe he's based off some kind of Chinese dragon, that or the Tarrasque

There is nothing more cute then seeing a child's favorite character come to life. The smiles I have seen, and captured, from children meeting their favorite princess, it's worth it.

I've been pretty critical of Nintendo but this is cute and a good way to show this to parents.

It is kinda' wild that parents nowadays are more likely to be sitting next to their kids playing video games. I think that wasn't as common in the 80s and 90s.

We're in a weird transitional period when afaik there is nothing that young kids are all into that is completely beyond the conception of their parents, like video games were to my boomer parents.

Today a good dog left this world and I'm gonna lionize her here, as she would have loved. This is Sophie and she is more awesome and bitchy than you could dream of being. She was so loved it hurt:

WALK. ME. NOW. This is my girl at her finest, demanding a walk. She never accepted excuses, you get out of bed and walk, Person. Ya Bitch.


She loved Sanrio more than me.


Her favorite angle for a photo. Maximum adorable:


Two days ago, she still had nothing but attitude. The best dog:




My blessed Grandmama told me that "We love dogs for their lifetime on earth, they love us for their's. Stop crying for a happy life!". I'm going to try that. I had My Sophie for over a decade, and I'm going to adore her for and eternity. I'm glad I was there for the best part of her time on this earth. She was 16 when we had to say goodbye, I spent more than a decade of that spoiling her. I wish I had more decades.

edit: I found my favorite photo of her. She would steal your shoes and lie on them if she liked you. For five years I had a green pair of flip flops I was never, ever allowed to wear.

Sincere condolences on your loss; she looks like a very excellent ladydog :). I lost my old lady dog a couple of years ago and it was pretty rough, I absolutely could hear her moving around the house for weeks after she was gone (not saying it was ghosts or anything, just that my memory was probably filling in sounds that it expected to hear).

It's probably going to sound incredibly nerdy but I really liked the analogy someone came up with that from a dog's prespective we''re like LOTR elves; we live basically forever, have superpowers of treat and toy creation, and for some mysterious reason we just choose to love and care for ordinary ol doggos just... because we do. It hurts that their lives are so much shorter than ours but on the other hand we do get to share our lives with many dog friends if we want to.


This is a very good video that everyone should watch and also reminds me of a story my Aunt's mother told me; She had a farm and had a clutch of duck eggs that she wanted to hatch, but the duck mother was very unreliable, so she put them under a very motherly hen. When the ducklings hatched, the poor hen was run ragged trying to keep the ducklings safe from the horrors of the pond. She was successful for a while, but then one day they heard a lot of panicked clucking and when they when to check they found the hen running around on top of the septic tank. When they got closer they heard the echoing sound of happy little ducks from inside the tank. They'd managed to get into it and were merrily paddling about on top of the liquid inside. The only access was a small vent hole so things were looking pretty bad until someone remembered a little fishing net they had, it took hours but all of the ducklings were eventually scooped out safely.

Happily all the ducklings were perfectly unharmed. They were washed and put in a nice safe enclosure with their hen mother :3:
