Most of my family is from very near there. I remember when this happened, it was quite the event

I have family in this riding so I was watching it closely. It was very nerve-racking to see how close it was. It was conservative several times while they were finishing counting all the votes.

Funny, after water, beer and coffee are my two most consumed drinks. I like whisky too but haven’t been drinking as much lately. It kind of comes and goes.

Amazing. This makes me want to try and find that old Pokémon card somewhere in my parents’ house

I’m horrified. Thank you.

If you’re bored and want another one, I haven’t checked through the comments but Dragonite has always been my #2. I had a card of him with the carrier bag and I always wanted to have him on my teams on the video games. Ruin that one, or fuse it with Lapras, that would be very interesting.

Here is my Bulova Sea King “Whale” from 1971 that I bought used a couple years ago. Still runs very well 54 years later.

I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it like that. Everyone I know says “gaygged”. Must be a regional thing or something.

I’m pretty sure I saw ChrisSimpsonsArtist post this a while back. He does a lot of, uh, interesting drawings, where most have way more than the typical number of fingers. Pretty sure this is intentionally too many fingers.

My favourite has always been Lapras. Ruin my childhood for me please.

I love her large ears. Reminds me of a fox.

Islay was named after the scotch, so you were right about the island in Scotland! When she was a little younger, the grey in her coat was far lighter in colour and looked like a smoky colour, so I figured since Islay is usually a smoky scotch (and my personal preference for any hard liquor outside of Canada), the name seemed fitting. We would’ve called her Peaty if she went by he instead, for the same reason.

I hadn’t put two and two together with my username here, that’s hilarious.

When I told my coworker about Islay, she got very excited to use that fact to help support her arguments with her right wing family or whoever she argues with about this sorta thing. Thankfully all my friends and family are left wing, most are far left, so I don’t ever have those sorts of arguments in my life, but I was more than happy to help her situation.

 

Hey everyone, just thought I’d let people know about !buycanadian@lemmy.ca and to go post over there, as it’s the far more active community. I’m sure most have heard of it already, but just in case you haven’t, I’m letting people know

 
 

I’d never played TLOU before, but was recently looking for something new to play and heard great things about it. My parents watched the show and loved it, so I decided to give it a shot. It took me a little bit to get into, but once I did I got hooked hard. I beat the game and then went on to watch the show with my wife, she loved it and now wants to watch me play Part II. Unfortunately that means I can only play it when she’s around, and given we both work shift work, means it might take me a long time to beat Part II, but it’s incredible so far. I’m not too far into it yet though so no spoilers for Part II please.

What does this community think of this game? I know it was very well received, I’m just curious how patientgamers feel towards it. Also, how did people like the show? I thought it was great but I’ve heard some people found it boring. I prefer the game but was very impressed with the show as well. I’m looking forward to season 2
