Just learned where "Women don't like the vehicle" comes from and I probably could have guessed.

I feel like I just did the closest thing to completing a Special Ops mission a normal person could ever hope to accomplish.

Their bones are so breakable. I'm scared! But also, I definitely need him to be in his cage before I go to bed.

Fucking idiot is resting peacefully on a shelf I installed specifically for him. He has no idea he's about to be Tom Clancy's Splinter Celled.

A bird, resting on a shelf, blissfully unaware of the fact that he will soon be thrust into darkness and wrangled like a sheep.

Trying to get the bird back in his cage for the night and nothing is working. The pigeon discord I joined is telling me to straight up Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Lights Out this thing. Shut the lights off, wait for my vision to adjust, and god damn grab him. Apparently they can't see in the dark.

The moments preceding this picture were the first time I, or perhaps anyone in the world, ever uttered the phrase "Please don't shit in my Playstation."

He took a bath.

Bird house.

A very large dog crate fitted with shelves, a basket, a mirror, and a baking tray that serves as a bird bath.

And, I've said it before, but Jesus Christ. This is the single funniest image that's ever been put to film. Thank you Spy x Family.

An obviously fully grown man palming a volleyball. The caption reads "Bill Watkins, six years old"

And let's not forget this guy.

The headmaster from Spy x Family absolutely losing his god damn gourd about elegance.

Another bullshit late night thought about Spy x Family coming your way. The character designs are fucking captivating. Anya is adorable. Loid has an effortlessly capable and controlled look. And both of the Briar siblings bounce convincingly between like raccoon and snake. Also Bond dry vs Bond wet.

I don't know. He's not a huge part of the series, so I can't remember his name.

Dallas Reid @fortworthreid.bsky.social · 3d

Look, I only have so many characters to work with. But you're right.

Dallas Reid @fortworthreid.bsky.social · 3d

Spy x Family is the perfect "secret identity" dynamic. A Spy, an Assassin, a Telepath. One knows everything about the others but can't reveal it at risk of revealing herself. The other two could probably make each other's lives WAY EASIER, but can't say anything. Also one of their brothers is weird.

Me at 11 years old, learning about the 3rd amendment for the first time: Damn. That's crazy. I doubt we'll ever need it again.

Me at 32 years old, watching the 3rd amendment do its fucking business: Damn. That's crazy. I can't believe we need it again. Also my back and knees hurt all the time.

Maybe it's the world is a lot bigger or I'm supposed to be using the horse more, but I feel like I'm not seeing the golden bird that guides me to a new activity as much in Yotei, and I really relied on that mechanic in Tsushima to get me exploring and keep me engaged. Good game. But I miss my friend

Kind of takes the cat thing off the table, but hey, sometimes a bird shows up in your garage.

I was encouraged by the pigeon rehab folks not to expect a return phone call, and not to return the bird. Apparently the pigeon racing scene is a lot like the greyhound racing scene used to be. And it is more than likely that this poor creature was abandoned intentionally. Buying the enclosure now.

Dallas Reid @fortworthreid.bsky.social · 10d

No updates. A couple folks in the racing pigeon scene said they'd try to figure it out come monday, but I haven't heard back. I'm going to make some calls tomorrow. If I don't learn anything, I will begin operating under the assumption that I have a bird now. Already got an enclosure picked out.

It is intolerant of the dev team, which, as we all know, is a slippery slope to having a platform where mods are not canonized super-beings.

I think it should be socially and legally acceptable to smack these clean off somebody's face if they're filming you against your will

Now I'm faced with a serious question:

Do I start Ghost of Yotei or do I move on to Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories?
