    That’s rare.

    Being predators cats have a hunger drive that kicks in early to make them look for food before they’re too weak to hunt. In nature, cats are usually always a little hungry. Hence, if the food is palatable, most cats will eat constantly and end up eating more than they need by at least some margin.

    It’s not an active decision by the animal, but rather the hunger drive, which can vary quite a lot between individuals.

    This is complicated by the fact that cats are picky, to the point they can outright refuse to eat something they aren’t used to, or just eat less of it.

    My cat would never stop eating his favorite treat (freeze dried meats), the same cat eats a little too much kibble if I let him, and no wet food at all no matter how hungry he is. This kind of thing, you might argue is a decision.

    That’s… Not what I’m saying. What the fuck?

    The kitten doesn’t need to stay fat. That’s all.

    If a pet is getting its food from you, it’s on you to give it the right amount.

    The same applies to asking a vet for advice, if you don’t know.

    Bottom line: The health of a pet (or any animal in human care) is the responsibility of the respective human.

    My second comment initially made ABSOLUTELY NO STATEMENT beyond that fact, or what it means in practice.

    Ok.

    Doesn’t change that the health of an animal kept as a pet, is the responsibility of the respective human.

    Edit: are you downvoters assuming I’m suggesting you separate the kitten and mother? I’m not.

    Kittens and mother cats should go essentially untouched by humans for several weeks after birth.

    After that, just don’t continue to allow the kitten to overeat and it’ll be fine.





  • And once again Konami proves they have no fucking clue what horror fans actually want.

    These companies keep trying to grab both bones, completely failing to realize the second bone is a fucking reflection.

    They have tapped some genuinely competent studios for this comeback of the franchise, but tightening the screws, like, at all, and this shit will blow up. Setting up four games from the start may already have been a mistake.

    If Konami wants more, they don’t need to make more Silent Hill. They have so many alternatives.

    FFS, they are sitting on fucking Zone of the Enders, despite Armored Core showing there’s plenty of appetite for that kind of game.

    Or how about a modern Castlevania? Anyone?

    Or, get this, publish for some small indie studios with neat ideas for completely new stuff, as a low cost way to discover new potential franchises?



























  • Sure.

    But that’s limited to SATA 3 speeds. A “mere” 600 MB/s. Not to mention SATA SSDs often can’t sustain their theoretical maximums.

    USB3.2x2 can do 2500 MB/s, and with heatsinks on an NVME drive you can actually reach and sustain that transfer speed.

    When you’re moving more than 500 gigs of something, or if you move ISO sized things often, it’s really nice.

    When I occasionally have to write an ISO to usb for macOS or when ventoy for some reason wont work, I get annoyed at how I actually have to wait a bit, even though my thumbdrives aren’t slow.

    They’re just not NVME with a heatsink fast. I’ve gotten used to moving ISOs around like they’re text files.
