Yeah make sure sonic has a small hedgehog mansion so he’s happy.

YouTube has lots of informative videos about hedgehog housing and care.

@Link-Hero Yeah it is very very young. I will find him a good cage and stuff.

Sonic is good name because the other I suggested were ... very unique. My SO did not like the name Adolf and I do not know why!

They're probably thinking it must have lost it's mother, so it needs someone to look after it, @Link-Hero .... ? Sonic is a fine name, start teaching him to go FAST now, @Zuljaras

So last week a package from amazon (a slim sleeve-type case for my laptop) said it had a delay in Cincinnati. A bit weird but I had no rush so whatever.

Today I receive the package and its got disgusting stains of something-that-looks-like-it-could-be-dry-blood-but-I-dunno. And now I'm super weirded out.

And to make things worse, the case didn't even fit my laptop.

@Eel dry blood?

I wouldn't order from that place again just to be safe... (not amazon, the actual seller)

@Apportal it was some shop named West Star Angeles.

Here, a pic:

@Eel Well, even if it isn’t dry blood, them spilling something onto the box doesn’t exactly seem “trustworthy” to me. At the very least unprofessional.

I’ll refrain from ordering from them now thanks for the info.

To be fair, I assume this happened during shipping.

Perhaps the transport truck had an accident or something.

I've clearly missed something in my brief absence. I love hedgehogs (well, most animals, really), and he's certainly a cutie! Young too, from what I have gleaned from my skimming.

I drew my sketch of Anthro Parrot as Avian Kickboxer.

Somehow it looks like Kass from BOTW.
I named him Pierre and he is a Blue Yellow Macaw.
He has big brother Red Macaw as his manager.

Is it just me, or is YouTube also showing you guys like 5 times the amount of ads they did before?

If you mean videos that would normally have maybe 2 ads suddenly having ads every few minutes, yeah that's been a thing. I think it was MORE a thing a month or two ago, like some people I follow didn't realize that was happening on the vids they uploaded for a while.

"telling people what we're doing ahead of time is hard durrrrrr" - Youtube

My brother pays for YouTube premium, and we’re in the same family group...

So I haven’t seen ads at all!

Most of the videos I watch are on the shorter side or are something longer broken up into several videos, but generally the ads aren't too frequent.

A Cuphead playthrough I've been watching, however....The entire video is just short of two hours, and I swear there's an ad every 5-10 minutes.

Streaming and video watching is becoming the new commercial-filled normal TV. Figured it was only a matter of time.

Yeah, YT is definitely putting more ads in videos .... I watch some that are only 10-15 mins &, as well as the one before starting, there's at least one during! I usually skip through some of those videos, so I'm only actually watching about 5 mins, too

I knew it there was something really wrong from FF XVI after i got reply from user on Pushsquare just now !
That game was condemned !! 😠
I'm DONE with Final Fantasy Roman numbers started from XIII-2 !!
Don't care with XIII-2, Lightning Returns, XIV.
15 banned, 16 condemned !
12 was the last masterpiece, 13 was anomaly and really disappointing but i accepted it for very unusual circumstances.

@Anti-Matter what did the user say

@NintendoByNature
He just informed me that FF XVI was rated 18+
He was also user in here.

FF XVI was rated 18+
Damn.
That game will be banned in my gaming area. I will stop outside of the game store and not let anyone buy it. I will be angry with those who purchase this. BANNED I TELL U. BANNED

@Anti-Matter
FFXVI is going to be a very mature story about warring nations, politics, betrayal and deceit.
I believe a story like this warrants a mature rating. It could make it more intense and a better game because of it.
