Predators and Prey

Just played a game named BS Zelda: The Ancient Stone Tablets.
93/100, I'd like to say. The "real time" voice acting and the compact format are well-executed novelties. The only problems are technical ones...mostly having to do with how you move from one week to the other (the game has 4 episodes, each lasting roughly an hour)

Poor Meta

*inexplicably scurries in*
*stands on hindlegs and leans against a wall nonchalantly*
*notices everyone staring*
...what? lalalaa...

...ok, so I may or may not be a lich. So sue me.
Coffee? Coffee.
I agree, yes. Coffee. Definitely coffee.

Never heard of that one. It's a fangame, right? Does it have a semi-open world like the official older Zeldas?

It isn't a fangame. Was released for an obscure SNES add-on called Satellaview. One gets reminded of the PC-Engine CD or Sega CD...except this add-on needed a subscription to a satellite service.
Ohh, now I remember! I have heard of that one!
I don't think Satellaview even was available over here - or if it was it was really badly marketed, because I haven't ever heard anyone even reference it o_O

I hope everyone’s doing well! I’m going to start the final round of voting sometime today (probably around 1:00 PM PST, 8:00 UTC), so if you want to change/add votes, do it now!

What would you say is the best way to tell my parents about me being on here? I don’t think they have any bad ideas about furries, so would it be good to just say something like “This is like one of those old BBS systems. You remember those, right? This is a fun and welcoming community that I don’t regret joining. This community was mis-represented in the news for a while, but it’s a lot better than that. You can look it up on Wikipedia if you have any more questions.”?
I think that would be fine, probably.

Hard to answer, really, since we do not know your parents. Do you feel the need to tell your parents about your internet habits or the communities you frequent for any particular reason?
Voting? What!? Where!
We are voting on who is the cutest rat. So far polls suggest that the cutest rat is me, Meta the rat :3
...or maybe it's this :D

I just figured that I should tell them at some point! But that’s a good point! If they ask, I’ll explain it to them, but if they don’t, I won’t go out of my way to tell them. Thanks for the advice!
The current feel like temperature is 103F :/


And no, I’m converting it to C! :v

*Southern And hot Appalachian raccoon noises*
Well, I’m converting it to degrees Rankine! Why? Because us backwards people really need to hold on to our outdated, unscientific degree system! 103 degrees F = 562.67 degrees R!

I never told my folks, but I was also about 24 (or was it 25?) when I joined the fandom and they had already expressed that they thought that the fandom was all about bestiality and had no concept of the fun SFW art, games, and general wholesome fun we have.

Based on your situation? Just tell them you joined a new fandom. It doesn't have to be an awkward "coming out" type thing. I'm sure they are curious about your interests and want to know what you enjoy!

You have the right idea to let them know ahead of time that "hey, a lot of people have misconceptions about the fandom based on some bad publicity in the news, but it really isn't a well rounded representation of the fandom."

You can direct them to Wikipedia or wikifur or whatever, but if you are comfortable, you can also volunteer yourself to explain your interests in the fandom to them. It is probably better than relying totally on whatever they find online.

I have raisins!
I wish I had raisins! I just have a somewhat bland apple instead. And a tin of Altoids, the mint things.

I need an excuse to post Transformer output... ah!
Did you buy them at Savings Skunk?
Naturally.
And then I went to Mischief Mart to get mischief things.
What kinds of mischief things did TR the mouse get at Mischief Mart? Well, the mouse got himself and all the rest of the crew a free ride to the Moon. The crew had all been given the moon-trip on a whim by the manager and he told them they were free to use any means necessary to get to the Moon and then leave without paying for the trip. The mouse got himself into the crew cabin and was given a tour of the ship. He asked how it was that the manager had allowed them to take a free ride to the Moon. The manager explained that it was all just the way things were done at Mischief Mart. The mouse got very excited and asked " Why is there a big blue sign above the ship that says "Mischief Mart?" The manager pointed down at the ship and said "That's the way things are done at Mischief Mart!"

Wow, a moon trip! I didn't know Mischief Mart had it's own spaceship! :eek:
Or that they just give people free rides to the moon on it. I guess that's just how things are done at Mischief Mart! ;)

I'm wondering what Transformer would make of @Ravofox 's rise to the office of President of the United States.

Alright, here we go :D
Ravo the fox replaced Donald Trump as the President of the United States due to teleport shenanigans. Ravo decided to become the King of America and became the leader of the United States by tele porting into Donald's body after a big fight with Donald. During this time, he managed to form the Ultimate United States of America, and he created several laws which he believed would work for the benefit of everyone in America. For example, his laws prohibited gun owners from owning more than 5 guns in any one location, and also prohibited Americans from having sex in a bar where more than 20,000 people were watching. Ravo became the most hated leader of the United States and accused of making America into a communist nation.

Sounds about right... @Ravofox should have known better than to indulge in such horrible governmental overreach :p
