You have not experienced life until you've experienced Goose poo poo. Not only is it ejected at speed, but it's a frequent delivery, rendering any limited water course a soupy mess of digested greenery.

It's also slicker than most lubes.

They're also a highly territorial bird that does a good job of scaring the poo poo out of people.

It wasn't an ELE that wiped out the backer funds. It was Tristan Timothy Taylor.

Geese are extra yummy, but they ruin public spaces with their crap. A regional park by my house has to close off huge areas because there is so much goose poo that they worry it will be a health hazard.

Our doggo has a new job. One of our runner ducks abandoned her youngs, and we were able to at least save one of two.

Now we are nursing it at home, and our doggo watches over it nearly 24/7. It's already at the point that when he's not around, the young one starts peep-peep until the big doggo is back, and if he can't get to her (door closed etc.), he goes nearly crazy.

He also never was that silent over the day in a long time, basically just watching the young one all day. When we let it take a bath and are not fast enough/not watching, he catches it out of the water and starts licking it clean.

They outnumber humans and get pissed off at the drop of a hat. MoD knows all about it, there's a treaty so they steer clear of the airports.

Weirdly they're actually really good for waterways in terms of liberating Nitrogen, but we're already usually very well stocked in that regard because of farm run-off.

I've thus far resisted the urge to turn up to our official meetings in my 'Lord Humungous' gear, but this does raise some interesting ideas. Maybe some form of utili-kilt, and have the gimp cover the nipples?

Honestly the pre-ponderance of over-sexualization in the post-apocalyptic prepper is massively out of place given how everyone's going to smell like rear end. I just go with the flow. This decade it's feathers and assless chaps. <shrug>

i mean nothing wrong with being a furry imo even if i personally find it weird and dont get the appeal it's ultimately a harmless hobby and/or kink.
what's weird is submitting a photo of you in a fursona when your company asks you if you have pets

I'd say it's a goo indicator to determine whether or not your game is taking too long to develop.

Once you hit the thrift stores, it's a safe bet to consider yourself "taking way too long".

So now that there is a new ship for sale, I'm guessing all progress towards wanting cig to be accountable for producing nothing except ship sales has been entirely forgiven, and the backers are flocking to get the next new piece of dlc?

The Tevarin are the honorable warlord-led birds with suicidal war tendencies. I think they represent the Colombians in world war II.

garbage data being fed into tables at massive rates without any sort of protection can cause unrecoverable corruption

since no one there has worked on MMOs or basic security for databases this kinda poo poo is gonna get worse and worse and worse

I'm sure they have basic backups to restore customer purchases but I have no doubt the tools to do that are archaic as gently caress and probably require a ton of manual input

People seem really skeptical of the funding tracker going crazy during the reign of Corona-chan but it makes sense. Look at sales of PC hardware for example, it's way up and lots of items are sold out. It was even more pronounced a couple of months ago. Games are one of the few things that are going to do well in this situation, and now that the whales have nothing else to spend money on they naturally have more to waste on SC.
