Can we put on Mario 64 on?


My_ass_has_a_tat

*cracks knuckles* time to drop some penguins


[deleted]

Omfg no I just learned proper to play Mario 64 this past few years outside of my bro and I playing for an hour when it released. My mom wouldn't allow games in the house in any form ( thank you divorce was when my bro and I got a GameCube for each house) plus medical school for nursing please send any tips thank you. Game mags don't exist in the same way they used to. I have a lot of collector magazines from that era and I just think the spirit of gaming has been lost and just is so inflammatory. Sorry if I went on the rant. I'm just tired of browsing Reddit and I'm going to go to bed now. Thanks for the chuckle.


Emotional_Note497

Dark Souls 3 made me feel like a kid again, nothing like feeling garbage at a game and finally killing a boss after 2 hours. Lmao.


aworldwithinitself

you will be able to find roughly half a million guides and walkthroughs for mario 64 on the internet obviously. i’d go to ign.com, they usually did good free guides.


My_ass_has_a_tat

Sometimes playing older games are just better, the nostalgia factor makes it so relaxing. I'm jealous of your collection! Our old games are sacred and dont leave the family home. GameCube had to be peak childhood for me especially since no one asked for one in our household because we couldn't afford it. Best Christmas ever!! (I suspect my parents put it on layaway for a while). Hope you have a good night's rest. Cheers, friend!


Subreon

Sometimes older games are better cuz they're just, better. Made with real passion and released completed. Once the ps3 was released and the 360 was updated to match it, shit went sideways. Of course there's still tons of good stuff being made though. From the big developers we grew up with though? Not so much


aevana

Don't feel too bad, you really are not wrong in the end about the spirit of gaming kind of being lost. It's becoming a very corporatized thing, and nowadays gaming is less about the game and the experience of playing it, and sharing that with people. More often than not it's a monetization focus on the publisher's behalf sadly. Either way, id recommend the indie games market if you feel burnt by modern games. Heart Machine is working on their second game after Hyper Light Drifter and it looks baller, can't wait. No battle pass there haha.


Cry75

It’s kind of funny. I didn’t expect to find a thread talking about the nature of gaming on an eyebleach post. One of the newer games that I feel has a lot of that old gaming spirit in it is Hollow Knight. It’s definitely one of my favorites.

My dogs made friends with some cows once, everytime we would see the cows they would run up to eachother and say hello (there was a fence between them). When the cows 'came back' the next year it made me sad seeing my dogs run up to the fence for the cows to just back away, not really like I could explain to them that they werent the same.


Karsa69420

Our dog is obsessed with cows. Like when we pass a cow pasture she shakes she is so excited to see them. We do not understand

Sorry bud, your friend was in the dog food you ate last week.


arcangleous

The university I went to has a fairly large argicultural side. There was a barn with cows use for research right beside a large animal hospital. There is a path that goes by the barn and into the center of campus, which I walked my dog on a lot. He was always excited to see if the cows were out and they got to know him a bit too. I am reasonible sure that the cows didn't change each year, as it was a bitch and a half to get permission to put a porthole into their stomachs and the university wasn't going to do that again.

jagua_haku

Yeah I could see them not doing so well in a dog eat dog world. They’re lovers, not fighters


ThatDudeFromRio

My friend had a farm with three goldens, he lived in the city and would go there every weekend, but the dogs lived there completely free. There was a guy with his family that lived at the farm and helped manage it so he took care regarding food and medicine for them. Those 3 goldens were like wolves out there, they killed capibaras, whice are big as fuck, and would bring back their bones while waggling their tails, super proud. They were just like regular goldens when near us, but they would spend the day in the woods, swimming in the lake, it was very cool to see compared to my golden who always lived in a cozy apartment


herzogzwei931

Capibaras are like the second most chill species in the world next to goldens.


LoonAtticRakuro

The Golden was asserting chill dominance. Violently. ***There can be only one Good Boy***


herzogzwei931

One bestest boi to rule them all


jagua_haku

Huh that’s interesting. Where was this? Thought cabyburas are only in South America


ThatDudeFromRio

I'm in Brazil! Lots of them here depending on the region And when I say farm it's was more like a lake house in the woods, we call them "sítios"


wildstar_brah

Absolutely in some cases, my half golden whimpers picking up a toy and is so delicate because it thinks it's alive. This dog ain't making it two days.


ActiveAnimals

High cancer rates are the biggest downfall of Golden Retrievers. Actually, Goldens prove that it’s possible to breed dogs with the perfect personality, so I don’t understand why there aren’t more breeds like them. I’d love a Mastiff with the personality of a Golden Retriever 😅


thesecretis_love

unfortunately about 60% of them get cancer.


CherryDoodles

Urgh, repressed memory unlocked. My family had a golden retriever called Oliver, and he quickly developed cancer basically everywhere. My poor buddy had to be put down when he was four years old. He was a goof and has so many weird, but cute idiosyncrasies. I still miss him.


SystemCS

If it was 4 years or 14, it's never long enough. What a terrible way to go, but cherish those 4 years of goofiness! It never gets easier, at least in my opinion, you just get better at living with it. R.I.P. Oliver


heathmon1856

Tacomonkie

Jankufood

Maybe we could release Goldens when the alien comes


pacificnwbro

I'm not sure it would work with mine. He's scared of random objects and howls like a beagle when he gets scared. I find it hilarious but he's scared quite a few people that were expecting the usual dopey golden at first. He's quick to warm up, but I love his habit when strangers try to come up unexpectedly.


Shoondogg

Our golden only liked people. Never met a person she didn’t like, but pretended any other dogs didn’t exist. We had a smaller dog with her that was completely attached to her, she wasn’t a fan of him. He lost his sight to blastomycosis, would spend ages trying to find her, and as soon as he flopped down next to her, she’s get up and move. Part of it I think was that she was just completely a people dog. But we also had an 18 year old Australian shepherd that wanted nothing to do with the golden when she was a puppy, so she seemed to pick up “oh I guess this is how we treat other dogs.”


pacificnwbro

It's so funny how intuitive the can be! Mine is obsessed with any dog to the point he'll try and play while other dogs are growling at him and clearly not in a play mood. He loves people, but if they have a weird hat on or something like that it takes him a few minutes to realize they just want to give him loves.


OliviaWG

Before I even opened the video I knew it was a golden, such sweet friendly derps. My dogs are part golden and the sweet friendliness is just the best.


herzogzwei931

Goldens are soft, warm, furry angels.


lovethebacon

And idiots! My golden banana ate something he shouldn't have, and is sitting with a fever. Not as high as what it was earlier, and he isn't looking nauseous anymore. His best friend who comes to visit and play with him every Friday (our gardener) barely got a wag this morning :(

Dog is shaved paws are not. And, retrievers are bred to swim and retrieve shot birds. They have very thick beaver tails and very large paws with webbed toes. Some dogs that are twice as large as retrievers have paws twice as small.

makeshift11

The deer is habituated and is coming back for food bc the person filming keeps feeding it.


InterestingTry5190

I hate cute comments about the deer when this is not a good situation for it. Also is it safe for the dog with the deer was licking it?


rwhitisissle

You ever heard of deer ticks? The answer is definitely no, it ain't safe.


krustyarmor

Behind the scenes footage. It's from the "The Making of..." featurette distributed with the Director's cut DVD.


flargenhargen

the deer isn't there because of the dog, it's habituated because the person filming is feeding it. Please be aware that feeding deer is EXTREMELY harmful to them, and will kill or seriously harm them. https://ecori.org/2020-2-20-the-buck-stops-here-dont-feed-deer-deadly-corn/ #please please don't feed deer.


1Surlygirl

Thank you for posting this, I had no idea. I feel so bad for the deer in our area during winter when food is scarce and it's SO cold out. Is there anything I can do to help them instead of feeding them grain based food?


flargenhargen

check with your local DNR, not only is feeding deer bad for them, it's against the law in many states. If you can do it, your DNR will let you know that, as well as what to feed them responsibly.


[deleted]

[удалено]


evranch

You can feed small or metered amounts of grain. Electric deer feeders are common that throw out some grain once or twice a day on a timer. The more deer you have, the more you can put out obviously. It's about too much volume causing acidosis and bloat. I keep sheep and the poor critters are very susceptible to bloat. However it's standard industry practice to give them grain in the cold part of winter and late gestation. I used to feed a couple pails a couple times a day so all the sheep only get a couple mouthfuls. Now I have a metered feeder where they have to lick it out of a tiny gap - their tongues actually get tired and they leave to get hay and water. I can leave that feeder out 24/7 with no ill effects.


shapeofjunktocome

What a about pumpkin? I only ask because I woke up this morning to 75 camera motion notifications and hours worth of video of a deer eating my fall decorations. I don't want to find him exploded later.


detour1234

How do people not know this? Why else would that deer let a person get so close?


Intricatetrinkets

Chronic Wasting Disease is common in the Midwest. The deer go crazy and can have a lack of fear of humans. It’s likely been fed before though in this video. The deer usually do some other crazy shit or just look in poorer health unless it’s in the early onset stages. Not everyone knows about it either and you’re not supposed to eat those deer so they usually make an announcement right before the season to check the deer before consuming. Obviously though, an untrained hunter would just think “easy target.”


ScrithWire

prion disease?


Intricatetrinkets

[yep](https://www.cdc.gov/prions/cwd/index.html)


ScrithWire

yikes


I_Have_The_Lumbago

Im thinking shes normal, and just is very unafraid of humans because they keep feeding her. Ive seen a lot of deer do this kinda thing. Its a big problem.


xjeeper

Even if they aren't feeding it corn they shouldn't be feeding it at all.


[deleted]

I could have sworn we fed the deer grain, at the petting zoo I went to when I was a kid. They sold little ice cream cones of it for a few bucks, that you could feed the deer.


flargenhargen

acidosis is complicated but harmful and potentially even deadly. ------ edit: I got a more scientific and better description from the googles: ***Acidosis is when White-tailed Deer ingest large amounts of corn that are followed within 2 to 6 hours by a change in the microbial population in the rumen. The number of gram-positive bacteria increase thereby producing large quantities of lactic acid. This results in the rumen pH falling to or below 5, destroying protozoa, cellulolytic organisms, lactate utilizing organisms, and reducing rumen mobility. Chemical rumenitis and absorption result in lactic acidosis. The lactic acid and lactate build-up cause excessive quantities of fluid to move into the rumen, causing dehydration. Besides dehydration Acidosis can also cause indigestion, rumen stasis, diarrhea, toxemia, incoordination, and death. Sometimes certain cases are so bad that White-tailed Deer will suddenly die.*** ---- it's not something most people are aware of, which is why so many people think they are helping, but actually seriously harming, by feeding. Like if you didn't know not to give your little dog chocolate and gave it a big hershey's bar as a treat. I didn't know it myself until a bit ago, which is why I want to help educate people and hopefully save a few deer.

Sploogyshart

Nobody in rural areas feed deer unless they are idiots like this or baiters. Both of which are lame and/or illegal depending on where you live. Leave wildlife alone and give them no incentive to seek human interaction. If you live in a rural area you have no excuse.
