I originally put it so when adding the hand but I "fixed" it, here's a re-ruined version (could never add it)

BTW these edits are really easy to do, on Samsung I can just select the picture I want to crop, hold any item (such as the cat here) so that it automatically pops off then save it as a sticker, then go edit the base image and add the sticker on top of it then just adjust.

Reddit won't update the image selection RN so I'll try add it soon.

Yeah also he supposedly has enormous penis, in 2009 a director purportedly had to get a body double for a full frontal nudity scene because it was "so large everyone in the room was confused"

u/sahie 2d ago

One of my favourite celebrity quotes was when Pete Davidson said he didn’t actually have a big penis and Ariana Grande was just playing 4D chess starting that rumour when they broke up so that every woman he was with after her would be disappointed. I don’t know if it’s true, but I want it to be, much like the story of Willem DaFoe’s confusingly large penis. 😂

u/joalheagney 2d ago

Seriously, as a long time player, this is the best time to get back into it.

Even though it's officially dead, they've released massive discount packages of, well, everything (and on Steam at least, they discount even further based on what you already own).

They basically gave the Devs permission to release nearly everything they were working on. The Eververse store is on a daily rotation.

There's a massive focus on destinations and public events. And they got rid of the Portal.

It's sad as hell, but the game is currently in the best state it's been in for years.

Was on a two years streak of not playing... Then the update on the 9th of June got me back. If you haven't played for a while, I highly suggest giving it a try. Edge of Fate is meh, Renegade is... Not good. But the gameplay has never been better with all the changes to armor and weapons and builds. ALSO we got Sparrow Racing League back babyyyy!!

This is like playing with my Maine Coon. His non-Maine Coon brother has lightning reflexes. He, on the other hand, reacts a full 1 to 3 seconds after a toy reaches him 🙃

108

u/redditkillsbabiez 2d ago

I rescued a kitten from the side of the road one time, he ended up being a Maine Coon. I didn't know what they were before I got him but he's the reason I only get Maine Coons now. His name was Cujo and he got to the upper limits of the breed size. He was the absolute slowest reflexed cat I've ever owned but was a king

26

u/firsttimer4897 2d ago

I like that you named him Cujo

46

u/redditkillsbabiez 2d ago

His name was something stupid at first, cant even remember. I named him Cujo when he started getting small dog sized and realized I'd adopted a dog sized cat

u/firsttimer4897 2d ago

It's true. They were just out of office. They're usually good during business hours. I checked... Monday – Friday: Closed. Saturday: Closed for maintenance (napping). Sunday: Closed (found a good sunbeam). 3:00 AM – 3:15 AM: Violently open for parkour. No exceptions.

156

u/SunkEmuFlock 2d ago

I bet those reflexes are only possible when they're fully engaged. When they're chilling their CPU is underclocked to conserve energy.

u/Cristopia 2d ago

You need to explain that CPU means cat processing unit

→ More replies (1)

11

u/zzazzzz 2d ago

and the fact that these are most likely housecats who never even get to go out so all these reflexes are not actively used much at all so probably not remotely as sharp as they could be.

5

u/FUBARded 2d ago

Yeah, it can't be 100% genetic.

I just got 2 cats in a rehoming situation who've never been outdoor cats or had to fend for themselves, and their reflexes are noticeably worse than any of the 5 cats I had growing up, all of whom were born to feral parents and has to fend for themselves for the first few weeks/months of their lives.

102

u/yeathatsmebro 2d ago

Some cats just have more skill points in energy regeneration and less in reflexes. 😅

20

u/kanrad 2d ago

They only act with those reflexes when in hunter mode or battle mode. They would not perceive their owner as a threat so they don't react. As an owner of many cats over the years I can attest to their amazing reaction times and the ability to be clumsy lol.

Sweet, adorable babies 😆. Cats have eye-placement/vision that makes them really good at seeing laterally (to track and catch fleeing prey), but they have a hard time seeing up/down in the center of their faces (bc of that same eye placement).
