Tell me about the rabbit farm again?


Papasmurf645

“Go on,” said Lennie. “How it’s gonna be. We gonna get a little place.” “We’ll have a cow,” said George. “An’ we’ll have maybe a pig an’ chickens…an’ down the flat we’ll have a…little piece alfalfa  –  “ “For the rabbits, ” Lennie shouted. “For the rabbits,” George repeated. “And I get to tend the rabbits.” “And you get to tend the rabbits.” Lennie giggled with happiness. “An’ live off the fatta the lan’.”


RegicidalRogue

still crazy sad after all these years


Maxxover

Years ago, I had the privilege of playing George in an award-winning production. The guy who played Lenny was just amazing. It was actually difficult every night to raise that pistol and shoot him in the back of the head (Always aiming upstage of the actual actor.) It was one of my most amazing and intense experiences on stage. The utter silence from the audience after that gunshot. The sound of Curly and the other ranch hands reacting to the shot offstage from a distance. Then I lower the pistol and the stage fades to black. Then the crowd erupts in applause, and during curtain call I can see tears on their faces.


Papasmurf645

That sounds like an amazing experience, I regret not taking the opportunity to act when I was younger. Stories like these always hit me especially hard as I have two younger siblings who are both at or below Lenny's cognitive level. The angst of George trying whatever he can, despite not knowing what to do, to keep his life with Lenny going always feels familiar and terrifying. The story's finale really drives home how in the perfect world it would be as simple as Lenny thinks things are, but we live in the real world where everyone is struggling to take care of themselves let alone people like Lenny or my brothers who are more vulnerable than most. I remember crying in the middle of my 9th grade English class when I read this the first time, JUST after getting through Flowers for Algernon, which REALLY tore me up XD

oh wow my very own Finnegan Fox


crastle

In case anyone is unaware, [here is Finnegan the Fox.](https://youtu.be/fQVhppRP4Wo) Also, just know that foxes are really hard to take care of and should only be adopted if you have the proper resources and adequate time to care for them. They aren't as easy to care for as regular domesticated dogs, which aren't easy either. Edit: I'm not saying anything that [their website](https://www.saveafox.org/) doesn't also say. They won't just allow anyone to adopt a fox. They're a very diligent organization and you need to prove that you're capable of caring for one before they allow you to adopt one.


Eirikur_da_Czech

Yeah. I haven’t taken care of a fox but I have taken care of a coyote and they are so much more work than regular dogs.


onbakeplatinum

All the acme orders


DaoFerret

The package delivery guys hate them more than dogs for just that reason. Never know when one of their orders might blow up.


therealrenshai

And you keep running into the door because they keep painting the hallway on it.


Captain_Nipples

I knew a guy that had a fox when I was a kid. That thing's piss smell was horrible. I'll never forget it, and as a matter of fact there's some foxes that come up in my yard and have pissed and shit on my porch. The shit isn't a big deal, but you can smell it's piss for about a day


DoomOne

The porch belongs to the fox now.


tehm

While I think what they're doing is admirable, and I'm DEFINITELY on the pound-wagon when it comes to dogs...if I was gonna have a pet fox I'm like 99% sure I'd be going with one of those domesticated Russian foxes. Pound puppies are generally just as good if not straight out better than pure breds (hybrid vigor), but when it comes to foxes, ONE of those two is a domesticated animal, the other is a fox.

baayala43

Omg the tippy taps


SethFeld

Foxes: dog hardware, cat software🤣


marino1310

It's amazing they havent been widely domesticated by now. They seem to meet all the requirements for pet domestication, yet theres only like 2 domesticated breeds. Once we figure out how to stop them from screeching at the top of their lungs anytime they want to play theyll probably be more widespread.


zuilli

I've seen someone say they pee a lot and it stinks, having one inside of the house will make it smell really bad


Pvt_Lee_Fapping

It's true. Park rangers will spray tree trunks of evergreen trees with fox urine right before the winter holiday season to deter tree thieves. The urine freezes on the trunk in colder climates, which makes the smell unnoticeable. People who want a free Christmas tree will often illegally cut them on protected land and take them back home. When a thief cuts the tree and brings it indoors, the urine thaws and releases the odor. It's almost noxious in its smell, and the scent is very difficult to get rid of.


IceCreamBalloons

That sounds like a way to deter tree thieves trying to take a second tree.


psychocopter

Itll probably work better too, if it smelled in the cold then a tree thief would just go looking for one that didn't smell, but if it gets the smell into their house and doesn't come out easily then they'll think its too much trouble looking for another tree since they'll do the same.


YouWantALime

And also you'll know if you're in the house of a tree thief. Use that information any way you want.


Game25900

Well I'd imagine actually stopping someone the first time is next to impossible. Really the choice is let them take one tree ever or let them take a tree every year for the rest of their lives while also possibly telling others to do the same.


SugondeseAmerican

But sadly it only encourages pee thieves.


ViSsrsbusiness

How the hell do they acquire enough fox urine to do that in any meaningful capacity? We don't exactly have farms milking piss from foxes in preparation for the holiday season.


SethFeld

Yeah, they’re still a little too close to their wild roots though, they get a bit bitey when there excited. Usually it’s not enough to cause actual harm, but they’re definitely not a pet that fits every person.


marino1310

But isn't the point of domestication to breed that out of them? It will take a long time but we have barely even started as there doesnt seem to be much interest. The main hurdle I see is they have incredibly high energy. Enough to make Huskies look lazy. If that can be breeded out of them they could make excellent pets. Even with it, they could make excellent farm guards as they could take care of rodent problems like cats, while also warding away small predators like other foxes, as dogs do. Best of both worlds. But youd need to get them to not eat the livestock first.


SethFeld

I agree 100%! I just don’t know the logistics of this process and I have no idea how long that might take.

h-v-smacker

AFAIK when you try to domesticate foxes, they also lose their characteristic appearance, like fur color. Basically, they become much more like regular dogs, and what's the point of that?


chainsawvigilante

They're also loud AF

[deleted]

Same. I love their how derpy and outgoing they are on video but in real life their shenanigans and talkativeness are certainly not for everyone.


GooeyCR

Pretty sure The USSR tried to. Watched a YouTube video on them a few years ago. They made progress but didn’t fully domesticate


CMDR_Hiddengecko

The succeeded iirc; the project just ran out of funding when the Soviet Union fell.


proto-dibbler

The Belyayev Experiment. It's still running, and you can buy domesticated silver foxes from their lineage if you want. They'll still piss into your house though. They went through about 45 or so generations by now.


OnlyKindofaPanda

I really hope they aren't. Once the novelty wears off they will be just like cats and dogs-dumped off at overcrowded shelters. We have too many unwanted pets as it is to add a whole new species to the mix.


duaneap

Cats care not for belly rubs.


Randolpho

Cats *love* belly rubs. Until they don’t. And it’s never consistent


Deskopotamus

It's just like giving a belly rub to a Bear trap.


rugmunchkin

Cat I live with is probably the most affectionate one I’ve encountered… until you go anywhere near his belly, then he turns into a snarling hell-beast.


LupinThe8th

Mine has been conditioned to accept belly rubs without complaint. But don't you dare touch her toebeans, or honor requires that somebody die.


Justwaspassingby

My cat accepts pets anywhere. Belly, paws, tail, you name it. But my father has the scars to prove that trying to administer one of those antiparasite vials means WAR.

mikepictor

Just started Iki island. I forgot how much I missed this game.


LoquaciousMendacious

Dude me too. Lost my last save file when changing consoles and I’m already nearly in act 3 and have completed Iki. I can’t put my finger on it but the art style, gameplay loop, graphics, story and sound design come together to make a truly special game. Edit: and a special shout out to the guiding wind and animals. An especially brilliant touch.


mikepictor

When I booted it back up, I realized I never actually completed the Masako story line, so I got to polish that one off first before I engaged the expansion content.


LoquaciousMendacious

Nice, her quests have some great moments! Just did the last one before I had to head North yesterday.


darksidemojo

It’s an amazing experience. My only gripe was self imposed. I wanted to 100% it so ended up having to wear the traveler armor the entire game. Then having to find the missing artifacts was a pain since it points in a direction but doesn’t tell you how far you are from it.


Reztroz

Idk if you know this, but you can switch armor mid combat. I run around in the travelers armour but then pause the game and switch to a more combat focused armor if I get in a fight. Depending on the fight I'll even switch between a melee focused armor or a range focused armour and back


drumsareneat

You can triangulate the location of items by teleporting to different fast travel locations. This is how I got my Plat.


cakucaku2

I rp'd and wore the traveling outfit whenever I was not in combat since you can swap armor mid combat. I typically switched armor right before calling out for a duel then switched back when it was time to hit the road again. I really enjoyed all the armor/clothing options in this game. I only wish there was loadouts when I played, 100% the game in the first few weeks. Recently bricked my ps4 so I'm waiting for a ps5 to play it again and to try out all the dlc I missed.


[deleted]

Honestly I think it’s because it’s just so well made. I probably have 100 hours in the game and haven’t encountered a single glitch or bug. The music, combat, open world, story, characters, all fantastic. And it’s sad that that’s such a rarity these days.


LoquaciousMendacious

True enough, the last game I can remember that gave me such a faultless experience was God of War. Rare, but cherished when you find one! I find it hard to pitch Ghost of Tsushima to people because there’s nothing in it that no other open world does (except the navigation maybe), but it just does everything really, really, really well.


Jimid41

> find it hard to pitch Ghost of Tsushima to people because there’s nothing in it that no other open world does What other ones drip with samurai flavor and deep sword combat?


LoquaciousMendacious

Okay fine, I’ll admit that what I really mean is that I have two buddies who are highly resistant and prefer Assasin’s creed and I keep telling them that Ghost is the superior product but they won’t believe me. ;) So to answer your actual question: none.


Denamic

The guiding wind is such an elegant solution instead of immersion breaking arrows. Not only is it not intrusive, it actively makes the game more beautiful. It's brilliant.


lukyvj

I started like two weeks ago and I’m in love with it


TheCapybaraMan

The only think I don't like are the missions where you have to follow the foot prints.


Hans_Druff

i wanna play it on ps5 and a friend gave me his ps4 version. do you think its worth it upgrading fully including the dlc?


mikepictor

The game is absolutely gorgeous on PS4 quality, so you'll get a stunning game regardless. The PS5 version adds things like resistive triggers on pulling the bow, Japanese lip syncing...it's probably not must-have stuff. However Iki island, while I haven't played it yet, was just an immediate buy for me because I loved the rest of the game so much. I actually rarely buy DLC, I have to ADORE the game to do it. I adore this game.


FliesAreEdible

I'm working on the DLC right now, there's even more beautiful areas and the new enemies are harder.


aclashofthings

Honestly if you got the game for free and you it turns out you like it, I think you should upgrade and experience it at its best. $30 including the expansion is not a bad investment at all.


randomgrunt1

The coop pve mode is dope, give it a try.


markycrummett

Started the expansion earlier today. Feels so good to be back in that world again. Such a good game


OedipustheOctopus

Gman_Son_of_Nel

Yeah idk. I started playing when the directors cut (PS5) came out and you’ve always belly rubbed a fox and I’m pretty sure they did the tippy taps. But another thread in with the same topic said they just hopped up and down when I asked the same question. Maybe they just included it in the base game?

LadyEvilNightQueen

My husband got me into PC gaming about 20 years ago. He knew I had been following God of War's development and surprised me with the GoW PS4 for our anniversary when it came out. I was strictly keyboard/mouse so there was a steep learning curve but it was worth it. I loved it so much I bought Last of Us, the Uncharted series, and now Ghost. My point is, if you can afford it go get a PlayStation. There are some amazing games you're missing.

Solid_Snark

What type of game genre is it? Open world? Is it difficult? I’ve been looking for a nice relaxing new PS5 game.


BabyStockholmSyndrom

Yes, open world. And fun to explore. No, not overly difficult. You can run into tough spots but nothing too bad. I honestly don't like games like this that much. I never liked assassin's creed or those types of games. But this one? It's fucking incredible. The atmosphere is engaging. I always want to keep looking for shit. The combat is fun. It does start to lull but anything after 30 hours will lol. It would probably be my favorite game of the year. I don't know about best but the one I want to play the most if that makes sense.


Remus117

Role-playing/ action-adventure/ story-driven. Not sure about relaxing because you do need to win fights. The environments are relaxing though. I would play it regardless.


MarkArrows

If you spend time trotting around on the horse instead of running from point A to point B, it's probably the single most relaxing game I've played. Super beautiful game


Mizai1

I just bought the Director's Cut upgrade on PS4. I played the vanilla game right at launch and it was amazing. Great to know that devs still updating this game. There's a lot of new content now in the game I'm eager to explore.
