#Automatic Ball Launcher

[shittysawtraps]

Hello Toby. I want to play a game.

The game is fetch. A game you seem to love the idea of. Yet every time your owners take you outside to play it, you lay down in the grass and selfishly hog your toy.

In front of you…wait, you walked away from it. Okay, to your left is a tennis ball and an automatic ball launcher. Your test is to place the ball in the ball launcher, chase after it when it launches, then…you’re rolling in the grass. Okay, you want a treat? I knew that would get your attention. If you bring the ball back ten times in five minutes you get a treat. You can get it from the treat dispenser behind you. However, your brother Cosmo is here too, in a playpen right next to the treat dispenser. Fail in your task, and the treat dispenser will spill its contents in front of him, and he’ll eat all the treats and you won’t get any. Now show me who’s a good boy.

hey um, I may need some help? so, I have a modified tennis ball launcher that can yeet my dreepy while I go and do some stuff. so she was launching her self into a net that catches her and uh...she decided to phase through my wall and I have no idea where or how far she has gotten or how many other houses she decided to phase through. her name is dede and has 24/7 zoomies.

this goes for everyone: if your pokemon gets lost and you don't find it within an hour or two, put in a call to the nearest pokemon center and ranger station. let them know your trainer ID and a description of the pokemon, and they'll keep an eye out. pretty much all pokeballs nowadays are equipped with a biometric scanning feature that automatically tags your pokemon to your trainer ID and uploads that info into the box system's data, so they'll know who it belongs to.

in the future, i recommend 1. making sure her pokeball is equipped with the automatic recall function and 2. only tossing her around outside. that way, if she goes too far, the pokeball will automatically bring her back, and walls won't get in the way of the recall feature.

I wanted to add a Metroid character forever ago. I love the universe of Metroid and need to play more Metroid games, I’ve only played Prime 3, Prime hunters and Other M. I know, fake fan. I just never have money when new Metroid games come out. So bleh. Anyhow. Let’s get down to business!

Metroid doesn’t have a lot of characters in general, it’s a not story based series and a large part of the vibe of Metroid is being alone in space. That’s such an important part of the Metroid vibe and aesthetic and such, so characters aren’t plentiful. That being said, I somehow have only played the games that have more characters than just Samus. Shrug. That being said, Metroid probably has one character request as of recently and that is Ravenbeak from Metroid Dread. I’ll admit I don’t know about that at all outside what was shown in trailers, I wanna play it, i just don’t own it. But he isn’t my choice. I’ve chosen one of the hunters from Metroid Prime hunters! So when i first conceived this idea I had chosen Weavil. Simply because, i wanted a space pirate, but they added Ridley so i don’t need a space pirate representative anymore. For that reason, I decided i wanted one of the cooler hunters. My personal favorite was Trace but he’s a sniper with stealth abilities, I don’t think he fits into smash as well as other characters. I also almost chose Kanden because he’s a cool looking character with an interesting story. BUT instead I’ve chosen

SPIRE! Seriously, look at this guy! He’s SICK! (Note OP likes rocky stuff). Spire is a being from the species known as the Diamont. It’s a shame he was made for a DS FPS game. Seriously who thought a Metroid Prime game on the DS was a good idea? Metroid Prime hunters you’d think wouldn’t lend itself to creative move sets since all the characters were designed to be played in multiplayer but the characters were also designed to feel different in multiplayer so that gives me plenty of room for that purpose. I think he’d be a weight much heavier than Samus, maybe close to K Rool. I think he should feel like a bruiser, like a living armored tank. So let’s discuss move set! By the way, I plan to redo the first two posts to add move sets to those characters and not be so wishy washy on the DK section. That being said.

For his Neutral B he will use his signature weapon the Magmaul. In the game it’s a bit of a chargeable grenade launcher and when Spire himself uses it adds a damage over time effect and it splits into more projectiles when it hits. Obviously we’ll used both of those properties BUT, i won’t be using the charge property. Instead he’ll fire it slowly and be at the fully charged state by default. This way holding the B button allows you to change the angle at which you fire it.

For his Up B he briefly makes a platform of magma to jump off of, dropping a magma spike below him when used in the air like elwind or Sonic’s spring, and leaving a magma spike on the ground when used on the ground. This move does not induce special fall.

For his Side B his uses the Dialanch, his version of the morph ball in multiplayer. He unleashes spikes on his body and rolls in the direction you used the move in. Unlike similar moves like rollout it’s not a chargeable move and is not stopped when he makes contact, instead it does a bunch of hits, and keeps going until you reach full distance or press B again. If you hit a wall Spire will climb it, in this state he will automatically stop using the move when he gets to the top of the platform. When used in the air assuming you don’t hit a wall it does induce special fall. I see this mixing up his ledge options.

For his Down B he covers his body in magma and it hardens instantly. Now he moves even slower but every move now has 2 or 3 hits of super armor and he cannot be launched in this state, but he will fall significantly faster. But in this state even him falling does damage to opponents. Or maybe it should work like Monado Shield but i liked my idea so bleh!

I know this one is late and to make up for it I will be doing another character today so it still looks like daily posting. That being said i hope you all like this idea for a move set. I had a lot of fun coming up with this one. “Tomorrow” I’ll be doing a post that requires a small amount of research. I will probably start ending weeks with posts that require research until I have no other choice either way.

RimWorld: Anomaly Part 2

I have another story to tell.

Spoilers below for a couple entities and a couple mechanics from, I'd say mid to late game?

A looong time ago, I got a call from a nearby colony begging to drop something near me with a reward for accepting the delivery. I'm down to clown, and it was a pretty good reward, so I said sure, why not?

That's not alarming at all. It says I can bring it to a holding platform to learn more, so-

Oh.

Great. Anyways so this motherfucker is an agent of pain, even moreso than this neat ball that I've found a few times now.

In the mean time, I have another obelisk to poke a-

-aaaand there goes Johnston's arm.

And stomach.

A few things happened after that. First we had to fight the darkness, then we had to avoid red rain so that we wouldn't fight each other, and we sent the mad ball out a couple of times, and things were actually going pretty good for a while, until the Revenant escaped containment.

So, it is no joke when one of these things gets free. First off, its like the other baby sightstealer thing except it doesn't automatically uncloak to attack. It leaves smears on the ground to indicate where its gone, but unless you have some kind of splash damage weapon like grenades or launchers, you can't reveal it or do damage to it because it is truly invisible.

Cue me panicking and building a couple EMP launchers and grenades, juust to have handy.

Another thing that happens is when it attacks and hypnotizes people, it drops a chunk of its own flesh? And you can study it to learn how to hunt and fight it.

First one gave me a longer trail to follow. Second one let my colonists hear it when its nearby. Third one finally decloaked it once we got near it.

But that meant that three colonists were downed to its hypnosis.

Wish I had screenshot this moment, but when you finally kill it (it takes a LOT of damage before going down, and I had brought basically everybody out to hunt it, so be ready with all of your best pawns), it destabilizes into a pile of revenant goop and returns to its spine only form. Which you can recapture, and it reforms again basically right away. Giant pain in my ass, but apparently regardless of the fact it regenerates it released all four of my colonists from hypnosis.

... I wish the story ended there. The story does not end there.

Time passed. Checking my logs, I killed the revenant on the 8th of Jugust, 5504. We had a third new obelisk show up the next day and are studying it.

And suddenly Johnston's fighting herself. Wait, what?

Its actually wild how much of an exact copy hostile Johnston is. Here's original Johnston:

And here's copy Johnston:

They have the same tattoos, the same favourite colour, the same fleshy biomass arm and stomach, they're even both showing up as married to the same man - the only differences are that one of them is naked and not part of my faction.

Check it out - copy Johnston's even got the same mood modifiers. Honeymoon phase, turned down by a different guy, likes her bedroom and thinks the dining room is impressive? Just absolutely bonkers to think of. This Johnston has never even seen the dining room!

Fun little notification - both were injured enough in their fight that they were both downed, and they both got back up at the same time, putting this on my screen:

So, what to do with a violent duplicate out here to steal your man? I did the only rational thing that I could think of.

I took her prisoner and recruited her.

I've got a kind of ranching-focused colony right now so another pair of hands to milk, shear, and look after animals isn't bad, you know? Copy Johnston still thinks she's married to Lorell, but if I click on Johnston from his social tab at least it goes to the correct Johnston. So at least he knows which side of his bread's buttered.

Not that this dude hasn't married, dated, or hooked up with 1/3rd of the colony. Bisexual highmates in a pro-polyamorous colony are wild.

I kind of wish there was more to the mood modifiers for copy Johnston. Like, she's got a high opinion of Lorell because of modifiers original Johnston had when she was copied, including a modifier to her opinion of him because they had done some lovin' recently? That's messed up, right? Wouldn't it mess her up too, emotionally? I have to wonder.

Also, is Johnston still looking like a word to y'all or no?

Twinsies! Seriously, its SO uncanny.

I keep looking for differences or signs that she's not quite human, or that recruiting her is going to come back to bite me in some horrible way later down the line, but so far so good.

Anyhoo, I don't think I have enough space left in the post to talk more on the Revenant or the trials it put me through, so I'll save that for part 3?

Also, I didn't honestly expect the last one to get notes like it did (not a ton, but better than my posts normally do), but if anyone's invested I'd be down to introduce more of my colonists and tell some other stories that I think up? Let me know what you think!

Acer Aspire V13 – white year

For long time, I have collected several computers. Which are, by now, their own way, are old machines. More or less. Retro tech. So, this is my white computer. It is made of plastic. Acer Aspire V13. I spent with it many years.

I cannot say it is a gamer computer. But, you can play it, rather, normal about some things, that were modern those days! It is excellent runs with Windows 8. And, whole year, I play with it! I can say, I turn on it in a summer. And I start to explore it, as a retro computer terms, now.

It is absolutely new system installed. And something is installed. So, well, it is not a whole year. But, it is ok to have some year result for white computer. I use it. For games. And what I play. Not so a lot, but there is something. So, this is a list.

I start play! Summer. 2024. And, most of all, I play in three games! Something I try as - can it launch or not. But, here it is, three games. There are! Quake 3 Quad Damage, Colin Mc Rae Rally 3, Doom 64. Most of all I play these games by weekends. And, a special place! Special prize! I try to find some cool funny game. And I launch several times Captain Goose. Captain goose, dude!! I play not so a lot, so without places. And, I just set it as a list of games, as order of date, I launch them, and, I play these games during year. So, here they are, games I played most of all!

Quake 3 Quad Damage (Quake 3 Arena + Team Arena)

I remember this game since my sunny and winter days. During my Pentium 2 and accelerators of 3d graphics. Such a hurricane thing. Innovation. Because of, it does not have a casual levels. And, it is, really, like arenas. Locations. You run with them. And all the time - shoot.

Quad Damage – it is edition. It includes version game Arena and Team Arena.

During Pentium 2 era, I played in only Arena. Well, and, now, during autumn I played this game. So, arena after arena you make complete. So, I walkthrough this game twice. But, well, you can understand it, with most easy levels of difficulty. I can Win and Bring it on! It is first two difficulty levels. But, well, with easy level you can play with fun and with positive!

Graphics is cool and it has some fantastic thing in game. Something like, energy weapon, beams, energy balls, they are flying there. And there are some rockets. You can to select avatar from all of the characters – and, there are lots of them!

So, to start with easy difficulty level, it is correct to begin with. And, from the start, I cannot to play it well. And, only, some time after. I start to complete one arena after another one. Arenas are very different. And fantastic ones and gothic too. By style. They are very different. As a characters, which runs there. There are lots of them! And, they are very different!

I, often, to use such dark green thing. Which is shooting very fast. And, more rare, I prefer more slower rocket launcher. It happens, that shotgun – it is interesting. Especially, if to shoot from a short distance in a narrow corridor. From a far – it is, also, possible – but, it is about better aim and it is not so fatal. And, reload time is, rather, normal – second or something like that – in this place, it is big time. So, in a medium case, this dark green fantastic thing is like automatic gun. And, also, there is some fun, at least, with low difficulty levels, railgun. It is like sniper rifle. You need to stay at open space. And take a place higher. And to look all over the part of the arena or all the arena. To observe it. And, with eagle eye shoot, this way you get immediately a frag! So, this is ok to happen! At the low difficulty levels, you can perform such a tricks. I use some weapons features and arena features.

Cool thing – it is lighting. But, it is not exists on all the arenas. As you aim - it never left your enemy. And, beam with lighting, so good to see! Also, theme. So, I hard to understand, how good to use here a thing, that throws grenades. It is exciting, but I do not understand. You throw. And, you need to wait some time. After - explosion. And, everything is so fast here. No one stands at one place. From other hand, if to use it as, something like, shotgun from a short distance, you shoot at enemy – then, of course, you make a damage. Yes, it is.

By the way, with this little game – I check computer works. And, with first two difficulty levels it is not so hard to play. And enemies runs. And, you can do everything. So, it is not bad. Very cool!  Lots of arenas! So, this is a good shooter!

Colin Mc Rae Rally 3

Not only with action, but there is, also, another kind of action. It is racing. For example, rally theme. So, I enter to this territory of rally theme. Arcade rally or like a simulation. Third Colin. It is a serious game for time, when it was released! I am so happy to launch it, at last!

Interesting rally sport is here. I have, already, not big experience with racing. It is Need for Speed 2 Special Edition, Colin Mc Rae Rally 2, Wrc 6. And, so, here it is, third Mac. I like it. Every game gives its own feel of driving. And, its own graphics. So, everything, has a variations! And, some unique way, every developer all these things to see.

There is view from a cabin here, views from a back side (third person view), and there is a view from a hood. Everything you need! And, there are tracks for selection and cars too! Everything exists! But, here you need to play in career mode. For Colin Mc Rae, for example. And, to open a new tracks. After career, you unlock new track in single race mode. And, at start, you have several cars and several track for single race.

And, I am a fan of to have a race - few tracks. And, after, calm way to do some other things! So, this is not about this! All the game – you need to open it! All the things, that exists in game! So, you need to play career mode, also.

Graphics is good. Tracks are interesting. So, I was surprised by narrow track in Britain, or some place, like this. It is very narrow, such little roads, they only for one car, not even little more place. Track in Greece, I remember, also. Roads are good in game! Very different. And mountains and forest. And narrow roads. And asphalt. And, even, between the trees, like you are though the forest to go, there is such moment! When, you at your first time, do this track - it is a wow! Am I going right, or not. I am amongst the trees! And, road is going like this!

Sandy roads, of course. Such a dusty one. There is a damage. So, game makes a good emotions! Need for Speed 2 is cool. And, this game is cool too. Here it is, a rally theme, this is a feature!

I am sorry, that I cannot to do screenshots for this game. All the time, it makes a black screen.

Doom 64

Dark action game about demons invasion. Part 64. By the way, this version is very different from, so, well known, Doom1, 2 from 90s. It plays absolutely different approach. New atmosphere. But, still same main ideas. New graphics! New levels! Game is cool. Dark.

Some dark labyrinths, but you are, something like, in space. Such abandoned in space. In a cold and full of monsters space. Some bases. Some monsters. So, it plays rather well as a standalone! And, it is a cool game! They do it cool, that they release a game for PC.

Levels, by the way, they are straight, so labyrinths. Not easy. For the first time. You, even, need to think. Where to go back, and what to open. Where you miss a button.

As such a puzzle. In labyrinth. To walk. You perform actions, open a passage. Walk in the different part of the labyrinths. It has its own way about to build a labyrinth.

Special place

Captain Goose

Well, I cannot say, I play this game a lot! But, I run it and was surprised. So, it is a goose there! I think, it is about a good and kind animals. And, goose is such a goose! Aaa! He has a ship. And he can take a ship. Such a frigate, there, something like, centuries 16-18. Maybe. Aaa. It shoots with cannonball. He is like a real pirate! Well, I play it, a little! It is funny, of course! But, well, I expect from a goose  - good and kind animals, if say the truth! But, anyway, it is cool little game! Ship, you can to upgrade by the way!

Playing little games. From time to time i like to play videogames. And write about it. Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.

Living along the Gulf Coast, my kids and I know firsthand how unpredictable and dangerous hurricane season can be. With forecasts predicting an especially active season this year, being prepared is more important than ever.

While many families take steps to protect themselves, pets are often left behind during emergencies, forced to endure the terror of massive storms because their owners weren’t prepared to evacuate with them or because local resources couldn’t accommodate them.

Preparing in advance is crucial for keeping your family—including your pets—together and reducing the risk of abandoning them during an emergency.

Here is our simple guide to creating a Hurricane Preparedness Kit for your cats and dogs and tips on training your pets to be ready to go immediately.

This post contains affiliate links, and we only recommend products we have either used, are using, or would use and share with our family and friends. Click here to read our Affiliate Disclaimer.

Hurricane Preparedness Kit for Cats and Dogs

A well-stocked Hurricane Preparedness Kit is essential for ensuring the safety and comfort of your pets during a storm. Here’s what to include:

Emergency Contact Information

ID Tags Ensure collars have up-to-date ID tags with contact details and any medical information.

Emergency Contact List Keep phone numbers for your vet, local animal shelters, and emergency contacts.

Basic Supplies

Food & Water Pack 3-7 days' worth of food and bottled water for each pet. A portable water filter is also helpful for extended emergencies.

Portable Bowls Collapsible or travel bowls for easy feeding and watering.

Can Opener Include a manual can opener for canned food.

Medications & Health Supplies

Medication Please ensure you have a minimum 7-14 day supply of prescribed medications.

First Aid Kit Your pet first aid kit should include antiseptic wipes, gauze, bandages, tweezers, and a thermometer suitable for cats and dogs.

Flea & Tick Prevention Have prevention supplies on hand. (We carry flea-killing medication and dewormer as well.)

Comfort Items

Favorite Toys or Treats Familiar items provide comfort during stressful situations. Invest in a second version of your dog's favorite squeaky duck or tennis ball (with single toss manual or automatic launcher). Don't forget the catnip and catnip toys for cats!

Blanket or Bed A portable, waterproof blanket or foldable pet bed.

Safety Gear

Leash & Harness Pack a sturdy leash and harness for your dogs and cats and ensure they’re accustomed to them.

Collar Ensure collars are well-fitted with ID tags. Consider a GPS tracking device to help keep track of your pet, just in case.

Cleaning Supplies

Litter & Litter Box Pack enough litter for at least a week and a portable or collapsible litter box for cats.

Waste Bags For cleaning up after dogs.

Puppy Pads Useful for indoor bathroom needs.

Travel Gear

Carrier or Crate A sturdy, well-ventilated carrier or crate for safe transport.

Seat Cover Keep your vehicle clean with a seat cover during travel.

Seatbelt Clip Ensure your pet's safety even if you opt not to use a carrier, crate, or backpack. Humans wear seat belts for our protection in case of an accident, your pet should too.

Dog Runner/Tie Out System Let your dogs or cats stretch their legs and get some energy out in a safe, controlled way. We use carabiners or bull snaps to change the length of the line and there are tree protectors.

Medical Records

Vaccination Records Keep copies of vaccination records and other necessary medical documents for each pet. Even if your vet is part of a more extensive network like Banfield or is great about sharing their records when needed, having copies on hand can save time during a medical emergency. They can also help when local authorities or pet-friendly accommodations need access to specific health and vaccination information.

Vet’s Contact Information Have your vet’s contact info readily accessible.

Identification

Microchip Info Ensure your pets are microchipped and the registration is up-to-date.

Recent Photo A current photo of each pet in case you need to post lost pet notices.

Backup Power

Portable Charger Keep a charger handy for essential electronics like phones or GPS trackers.

Hydration & Food Accessories

Portable Water Filter Useful for extended emergencies.

Freeze-Dried Food Lightweight, long-lasting food option.

Additional Items

Carrier Cover Helps to calm pets during transport. You can buy a custom cover or use a towel. [Please ensure your pet can still breathe fresh air.]

Calming Products Pheromone diffusers and calming treats to reduce stress are available for dogs and cats. Our multi-cat household has had great success with Feliway diffuser plugins.

Pet Raincoat Keep dogs dry during heavy rain. Smaller dog raincoats can be used for cats.

Cooling Bandana, Vest, and/or Mat Helps manage body heat in hot, humid conditions. In a pinch, you can use ice packs stuffed into spare pillowcases.

Rechargeable USB Fan To ensure your pet gets access to continuous air flow, consider investing in a rechargeable USB fan. We prefer the clip-on kind like our mini Gaiatop because they fit almost anywhere and are easily charged with a standard USB C but they come in larger sizes and with different bases. The 8" Koonie is used by several vanlife YouTubers. You can also choose a fan that uses a battery pack that is interchangeable with your cordless tools and lawn gear.

Packaging Tips

Waterproof Bag or Container Store all items in a waterproof bag or container (dry bag) and place it inside or on top of one of the carriers. In an emergency, this will make everything grab and go. For pets with special needs, consider using a carabiner to attach a smaller dry bag with pet-specific items to their carrier or backpack. This also works well for multi-pet households if more than one family member will be helping with pet evacuation as each dry bag can contain all the pet related items for the pets each family member will be responsible for.

Easy Access Keep the kit in a readily accessible place for quick grab-and-go and make sure every family member knows where these items are, how to access them, and how to use them.

Training Your Pets for Emergency Situations

Being prepared isn’t just about having the right supplies—it’s also about training your pets to stay calm and respond to commands during an emergency. This is true for both dogs and cats.

Here’s how:

Practice Evacuation Drills Regularly practice quickly getting your pets into their carriers or crates. Reward them with treats and praise to create positive associations.

Go Bag Familiarity You can get your pets used to their emergency kits by slowly introducing them to the items. Let them sniff and explore the carriers, leashes, and other gear.

Command Training Teach basic commands like “come,” “stay,” and “shh” to help maintain control in a chaotic situation. Practice these commands calmly so your pets are more likely to respond during an emergency.

Stay Calm Pets often mirror our emotions. Take a few deep breaths, remember you've been preparing, and consider your circumstances. What do you know? What do you have? What can you do? If you can stay calm during an evacuation, your pets are likelier to remain calm, too. Your confidence will help them feel safer and encourage them to self-regulate, just like you did.

No family member left behind.

Preparing for hurricane season is about more than just securing your home—it’s about ensuring the safety and comfort of every family member, including your pets.

By creating a Hurricane Preparedness Kit and training your pets for emergencies, you can keep your family together and reduce the stress and chaos of a storm.

Stay safe, be prepared, and protect the ones you love.

Rye's Baffling™ TF2 yapping thread

You ever like a game so much you just want to yap about it constantly?

The Respawn Cabinet is missing the medium ammo pack

Go boot up an empty map and use the respawn cabinet. You might noticed every type of health kits and ammo pack is present except for the medium ammo kit. Why is this a thing? I have no idea. Someone already made a video about this weird detail. Check it out:

Avoiding drowning by standing next to a dispenser

Everyone knows that you can build engi's buildings in underwater. That's why sometimes you often running into sentries in 2fort's sewer water. But something that most people dodnt talk about was that dispenser's healing rate can negate the damage you've taken by staying underwater for too long. The underwater dispenser can be seen on Soundsmith's Snorkel Snipers at 11:55:

Bleed jump

I think most players already knew about this one so I'm going to make this brief. By equipping the boston basher, if you time your melee swings with your jump, you can gain an increase in jump height. Its like the caveman's version of the atomizer.

The Disciplinary Action (why yes random tumblr user, we already know about this one)

The Disciplinary Action has the longest melee range, allowing soldier to hit enemies behind him. That's all.

Niche and Well Known Uses For The Disguise Kit

Spy is a unique class. He's a pick class meant for getting important targets like medic, snipers and other generalists. He can only achive this by poking the enemy's back with his butterfly knife. Thanks to his uniqueness, Spy is often considered the weakest class in tf2 (That doesn't stop me from having 100 hours in the class). The amount of techs to his disguising aspect is not much but definitely interesting.

Disguising as Teammates- If you press R or - while holding the disguise kit, it will change to disguise your teammate. Everyone knew about this one already.

Fake reloading- By turning off auto reloading and having one less ammo in your revolver (and disguise as your enemy obviously) you can mimic their reload animation. This will work with automatic weapons like flamethrowers and miniguns which may result in a funky reload. Otherwise, it's a great tool to keep up the facade just a tad longer.

Auto Disguise: If you press B, you can disguise as the last class you've disguised. That's all.

Changing weapons: If you pull out your primary, secondary or melee weapon and press B while disguised, the disguise's weapon will change. Pretty cool I guess.

Demo Balling

In the September 2007 beta and the day one version of Tf2, Demo's Grenade Launcher has 6 grenades instead of 4 and his Stickybomb Launcher has 40 reserve stickies instead of 24. He's also incapable of dealing self damage when firing pipes to enemies in point blank range. Amusingly, rollers can still deal 100 damage to enemies in the 2007 beta. This might explain why Demo's pipes works differently in Meet The Demoman with various examples that shown to be impossible to recreated in day one and future versions of Tf2.

This unique detail have been talked about by Shounic in the video below 👇 (2:39 for the pipes roller btw)

Unfortunately, this nerf has an unintended side effect. Due to the Grenade Launcher has 6 holes, Demo only refills 4 of the 6 holes. The alcohol was too much. we need to put him down

Unused Spy's Thanks Voice Command (Not unused just patch out)

Before the January 11 2012 patch, Spy has a unique thanks voice command that were used in day one and subsequent versions of TF2 before being patched out. The voice line in question is just Spy saying the italian word prego (it means you're welcome in english).

Mach 2 Soldier

How this works is that you need the Concheror and The Escape Plan. After you equip them, make sure to follow these steps:

1. Fill up the RAGE meter

2. Intentionally take self damage by rocket jumping or shooting at the floor/wall until you're at low health (under 50 health)

3. Activate the Rage

4. Immediately switch to the Escape Plan

The Conch's rage and The Escape Plan's speed boost will stacked, allowing you to be the second fastest character in the entire game, beaten by a full boost bfb (baby's face blaster) scout.

How To Spot Disguised Spies (me no like french man)

Spies will usually try to deceive you and your teammates as your allies. I've already talked about some of spy's disguising technique so its fair to talk about the many ways to spot a spy.

Move Speed- If Spy disguised as a Demoman, his move speed (107%) will changed to Demo's (98%). This is consistent to every class except for Scout and Spy. Disguising as a Scout will not increase Spy's move speed and instead use his base speed. This makes it easy for the enemy team to spot you and its generally considered to be the worst disguise. For the spy disguise, its much more subtle. Every time you disguise to a spy, the game will have your wore a disguise mask. The disguise mask is random every time and it will often lead to inconsistencies. From the enemies point of view, their spy is disguising as a pyro yet he retains his move speed. Once you know this, it makes spy checking a little bit easier.

Collision Detection- You can walk through a teammate. You can't walk through an enemy. This applies to disguised Spies as well. But just to make sure, light him in fire or shoot him.

Spies pressing w- Spies often get tunnel vision really easily by their targets to the point where they just run towards the enemies' backs without a care in the world. mfs playing on 60 fov.

Facial Expressions- Usually, tf2 characters will make a specific face animations when doing an action or saying a voiceline. For some reason, disguised spies would sometimes lack in face animation besides staring at you ominiously.

I have an video example for this (5:51 for the clip):

here's another example at 6:12:

----------------------------------------------------------

tf2 has built in wallhacks (part 2)- If you point your crosshair at an invisible spy and press x->2, it will play the 'spy is not our spy' (and it's many variations) voiceline. This is not to be confused with the outlines of your teammates that's briefly shown when you spawn. Again, here's the video showcasing it (3:17 for the clip):

Soldier's Super Secret Stash Of Reserve Rockets

If you thought Demo having 30 reserve pipes and 40 reserve stickies were overkill, then you're correct. The closest person to ever stand toe to toe with Demo's absurd reserve ammo was Soldier. Soldier has 36 reserve rockets in the 2007 version instead of 20 reserve rockets he has today. You might be asking, why does soldier and demo have so much reserve ammo back then? The reason for this was because you can only get ammo from a specific weapon instead of the universal ammo box.

This thread is a big mess . I will probably update this if I find more interesting to talk about.

Thanks for reading this terrible thread.

What Are Interactive Toys for Dogs?

Dogs are intelligent and playful animals that require mental and physical stimulation to stay happy and healthy. One of the best ways to keep your furry friend engaged is by providing dog toys that challenge their minds and keep them active. Interactive toys are specially designed to provide enrichment, improve problem-solving skills, and prevent boredom. In this article, we’ll explore the different types of interactive toys for dogs and their benefits.

Benefits of Interactive Dog Toys

Interactive dog toys offer numerous benefits, including:

1. Mental Stimulation

Just like humans, dogs need cognitive challenges to stay sharp. Interactive toys engage their minds and help improve problem-solving abilities.

2. Preventing Boredom and Destructive Behavior

A bored dog can develop destructive habits like excessive chewing, digging, and barking. Engaging toys keep them entertained and reduce these behaviors.

3. Encouraging Physical Activity

Many interactive toys require movement, which helps in maintaining a healthy weight and overall fitness for your pet.

4. Strengthening the Bond Between You and Your Dog

Playing together with interactive toys fosters a stronger bond between you and your dog, making training sessions more effective.

5. Improving Dental Health

Some interactive toys are designed to promote oral hygiene by cleaning teeth and massaging gums while the dog plays.

Types of Interactive Dog Toys

1. Puzzle Toys

Puzzle toys challenge a dog's intelligence by requiring them to solve a problem to get a reward. These toys typically involve hidden treats or compartments that dogs must figure out how to open.

Examples:

Treat-dispensing balls

Sliding puzzles

Snuffle mats

2. Treat-Dispensing Toys

These toys provide both mental and physical stimulation by requiring dogs to work for their treats. They are great for keeping dogs busy while slowing down fast eaters.

Examples:

Kong toys filled with peanut butter

Rubber chew toys with hidden treats

Automatic treat dispensers

3. Squeaky and Sound Toys

Dogs love toys that make noise, as they mimic the sounds of prey and provide entertainment. These toys engage their natural hunting instincts and keep them entertained.

Examples:

Squeaky plush toys

Talking toys that mimic sounds

Crinkle toys

4. Interactive Fetch and Tug Toys

Some interactive dog toys take traditional games like fetch and tug-of-war to the next level. These toys are designed to add a challenge to playtime.

Examples:

Automatic ball launchers

Rope tug toys with textured grips

Bouncing balls with unpredictable movements

5. Chew Toys with a Purpose

Chew toys help satisfy a dog's natural chewing instinct while also promoting dental health. Some come with ridges or textures to clean teeth and massage gums.

Examples:

Dental chew toys

Flavored rubber chews

Durable nylon bones

How to Choose the Right Interactive Dog Toy

1. Consider Your Dog’s Size and Breed

Different breeds have different play preferences and jaw strengths. Ensure that the toy is the right size and durability for your dog.

2. Think About Your Dog’s Play Style

Some dogs love to chew, while others prefer to chase or solve puzzles. Choose a toy that suits their personality and energy level.

3. Look for Durability

If your dog is an aggressive chewer, opt for tough, long-lasting materials like rubber or nylon.

4. Safety First

Always choose non-toxic materials and avoid toys with small parts that can be swallowed.

5. Easy to Clean

Toys that are dishwasher-safe or easy to wipe down are preferable, especially if they involve food or treats.

How to Use Interactive Dog Toys Effectively

1. Supervise Playtime

While interactive dog toys are designed for independent play, supervising your dog ensures they use them safely.

2. Rotate Toys Regularly

To prevent boredom, rotate your dog’s toys every few weeks to keep them interested.

3. Use Toys for Training

Interactive toys can be incorporated into training sessions to reinforce positive behaviors.

4. Combine with Dog Grooming Abu Dhabi Sessions

After a fun play session, reward your dog with a relaxing dog grooming Abu Dhabi experience to keep them clean and happy.

Conclusion

Interactive dog toys are an essential part of your dog’s overall well-being. They provide mental stimulation, prevent boredom, and encourage physical activity. By choosing the right interactive toy for your dog’s size and play style, you can enhance their quality of life and strengthen your bond with them. Whether it’s puzzle toys, treat-dispensing toys, or chew toys, there’s an interactive toy out there for every dog.

For pet owners who want to keep their dogs both entertained and well-groomed, incorporating regular dog grooming Abu Dhabi services can complement their play routine. Investing in quality dog toys will ensure your furry friend remains happy, healthy, and engaged every day!
