Stray

Just completed. Very excellent. Wish it was longer, and the ending was a bit underwhelming but it was top quality throughout, checkpoints aside.

No need to apologies, but thanks. I apologize for calling you a weirdo, oh weird one.

My first comment was more of a general comment/question.

Fish probably aren't too fond of them in the last few moments of their life.

Are you suggesting that user sarfrin is in fact a fish.

More likely to be an Octopus going by his pic - do Otters eat octopuses?

Finished this, this evening. Enjoyed it. One of those rare games where it has such a unique and strong identity which it manages to carry all the way through the game. I did prefer the first half and found it quite touching in places. Sure there be those who will be pedantic and say it’s simple but it’s so well thought out, designed and written that it elevates into something pretty damn good. Hope Sony have more sort of partnerships/curation lined up.

Just started this. Good god the animations are sublime. Playing on my Deck and really highlights how good the screen is - the blacks and neons are gorgeous. I think I'm in love with the game already.

I've been walking round pressing B to meow in front of my actual cats. They are definitely a bit baffled.

I love all animals and one day I really hope I can have a dog, but right now cats are the absolute perfect pet for my lifestyle. The return on investment in terms of work put in versus affection I get back is huge. I literally just put out food once a day and that’s it. She cleans herself. Goes outside for toilet and buries it neatly. Socialises on her terms etc. She needs next to nothing from me but is always there for a cuddle when I get home. She’s awesome.

They are just playing long game to laugh at you when you have to pick up their shit.

Other people's dogs are mostly fine (and ones that aren't are normally more because the owner is a nob), but definitely more a cat person. Yeah, they have boundaries and won't be shy about telling you when you cross them, but who doesn't? Much easier to look after and affectionate in their own way.

Crazy cat lady might be a stereotype, but crazy dog person seems more prevalent. The Internet lies and find I rarely encounter cat people compared to how often I encounter dog people. Perhaps that is just because dog people do like telling you repeatedly about their dog.

Oh yeah, Stray. It's good. Just reached midtown, so will probably finish it soon.

A lot of dogs have that sad eyebrows look or sit outside shops whining waiting for their owner to return. They're just too dependant for me

I saw a cat sitting in the doorway of a supermarket just cleaning itself while people walked around it. It had just decided that's where it was going to do that and people would have to deal with it

" It had just decided that's where it was going to do that and people would have to deal with it"

Yeah.

The one big difference between cats and dogs, which just explains a lot of things I find, is that cats have barely been domesticated. Even your bog standard so-called "domestic" cat doesn't differ much from wild cats to this very day.

Cats came many, many thousands of years later than dogs, on their own terms, when man had settled, and stored grain, which attracted mice. Humans never "taught" cats anything, it was more of a natural symbiosis.


Mankind has kept dogs, on the other hand, since the hunter-gatherer days, and "used"/taught/bred them for their purpsoes.
