Getting it, if only to menace pigeons with a balloon effigy of Robert Frost.

Junkrat’s took me a moment, then I realized - AUSTRALIAN.

... dammit, now I’m hungry.

You will experience what players know as ‘fun’.

Basically died due to a combination of lack of support from the sim owners, the restriction of the sandbox to group members only (which defeated the purpose of it as a means of advertising the sims), and waning interest as Mesh came out.

Oh, also it’s signature brush-stroke cel shading style was a COMPLETE accident. They were trying for a more realistic look when one of the modellers accidentally messed up transparency layers and wound up with that look.

Heh.. over in one of the Furry sims I frequent, there used to be a building contest called IRON BUILDER. You have two hours to build something according to a given theme. The catch? You may ONLY use the given prim type. So if you gotta make a pirate ship outta cylinders, you gotta think creatively...

I play Second Life, and I’m gonna be honest,this is what you get when folks can choose avatars. You get a majority of folks in physically perfect Ken and Barbie bodies (the ‘package’ stat on males invariably set to maximum.) and a bunch of folks with pop culture references.

Well, part of that was it was originally a MUCH smaller game. Like, ‘only the first section’ small. Then apparently the execs got a good look at it and said ‘can we have more?’.

Well, that’s a thing, isn’t it?

That’s the one. Was on my phone, so tricky to look up and cutpaste stuff.

A man was walking along a beach, when he comes across a boy. The boy is scooping up starfish on the beach, and throwing them into the ocean.

Well Sparkle Fighters tried branching out differently in Sparkle Fighters Four: More Sparkles. The problem is, fans hated it, and demanded a return to the older style. Sparkle Fighters V had the same gameplay, but with 3D sprites, but nope, folks wanted the old-school feel. So you now get Sparkle Fighter games that…

Yeah, that one went off the rails badly. Mostly a few ‘problem children’.

I should point out that there are some incredibly ingenious designs for dealing with heat. Some of those heads will have fans tucked inside. Others use special open-weave fabrics. Gel cooling vests are not uncommon.

Pittsburgh found out years ago that furries will spend money like water at the local restaurants and businesses. Word gets out that a place likes us, and maybe even has some specials for con goers (a common one is a 10% for showing your badge) and they’ll be neck deep in happy furs.

I am a furry and I work in a hotel. Trust me when I say that as bad as you think Furries might be, they’re NOTHING compared to professional conventions. I would rather have two hundred furries than a hundred optometrists.

Think it went over $80K after people literally flung money onto the stage at the closing ceremonies.

Short answer? Practice.

WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED THAT SOMEONE - ANYONE - WAS MAKING A NEW STAR CONTROL?!
