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.

That’s one of my all-time favourite games. How far are you? I’m jealous you get to experience it for the first time.

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.

Oh definitely, I will. She’s worth the much higher price.

Agreed. I love her coat, she’s such a model.

I’m not too sure! That’s a good question though. I’m curious now, I’ll have to ask the vet the next time I see her.

More often than not, cats with both parts tend to develop cancer as a result of it, apparently. That’s according to the vet anyway. But yeah I think they tend to be sterile in most cases.

Good to know, thanks. That’s just what the vet called her, I wasn’t aware there were bad connotations with the term.

Both parts. Islay has both testicles and a uterus. We call her a she (since our other cat is a boy so it’s just easier if one is he and one is she), but technically she’s a they. Unfortunately it’ll be very expensive to get her fixed because of it.

Weird, on my end it doesn’t look like that. I’ll take a closer look on my break today.

I’ll keep an eye out for that album as a used CD or record, if I can find a copy for cheap. All my money will stay in Canada that way. Thanks for the recommendation!

You should listen to more Lightfoot! His discography is vast, there’s bound to be more of his stuff you like. At the same time, there’s probably lots of stuff you won’t like. I’m personally a big fan of his record Gord’s Gold, it’s a comp album but he re-recorded everything for it, so it’s all new recordings (or was all new in 1975), which gives you a more mature voice on some of his older tracks. Canadian Railroad Trilogy especially sounds way better rereleased (though I love the original too, it’s probably my favourite song of his). It’s a pretty early comp album though, and is missing a few of his biggest hits, like Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald. He has Gord’s Gold Vol. 2 as well but it’s not as good imo.

Thanks for the list! The only metal band I really listen to a lot is Iron Maiden, I’m more a classic rock and folk kinda guy.

With everything going on politically right now, I’ve been listening to a lot more Canadian music recently. I tend to listen to records (and sometimes CDs) more than streaming, so I’m kind of limited to albums I own physically. With that being said, here’s some recents:

Tragically Hip - Up to Here. My personal favourite Hip record, just great classic Canadian rock. Side A gets spun a lot.

Neil Young - Harvest. Despite probably being the most popular album on this list, it’s probably the one I play the least. Still very good folk music though, I could just never get past his voice.

Stan Rogers - Northwest Passage. I only got into Stan Rogers a few months ago, and then found this record used in excellent shape for pretty cheap and had to buy it. Probably my favourite Canadian folk album now.

The Guess Who - Greatest Hits. Can’t go wrong with American Woman or Laughing. I don’t listen to a whole lot of their music, hence the comp album, but their popular stuff I quite like. I also have an old comp album of just their early stuff from before they were big which I actually like more, but haven’t listened to in quite a while. Maybe I should spin it again soon.

The Tea Party - Edges of Twilight. Definitely the most interesting album on this list, and another favourite. I’m yet to hear another album sound quite like this one, even from them. They’re an awesome band anyway, but this album is definitely their peak.

Mort Garson - Mother Earth’s Plantasia. This one unfortunately I have to stream, but I keep an eye out for it every time I go out to the record store. This is early electronic music.

Stompin’ Tom Connors - Stompin’ Tom Connors. Another one I’m currently streaming, but there’s nothing more Canadian than Stompin’ Tom. I’ve got one record from him, but it doesn’t have any of his biggest hits unfortunately.

Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers - The Serious Stuff. This one always makes me homesick. All my family is from Newfoundland but I’m currently living away from home. This album takes me home for a little bit.

Great Big Sea - Up. Another band from Newfoundland that takes me home.

Gordon Lightfoot - basically his whole discography. I’ve got a lot of Lightfoot records, and play all of them constantly. Probably my most listened-to folk artist.

Rush - Moving Pictures. I’m only just starting to get into Rush so I don’t have much to say yet. Awesome record though.

If you’ve got any questions I’d love to talk more about these guys! If there’s any bands you’re curious about I’d love to recommend songs too.

What have you been listening to? I love listening to albums all the way through, definitely my favourite way to listen to music.

Exactly! That’s why I love !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

Includes the TV show

Just added it to my Wishlist on steam. Looks like a nice game!

I’m going back through the Pokémon series again (out of order). Currently playing through Yellow

That seems pretty fun actually. I’ll look into it. Thanks for the recommendation
