Tell Rizzo he's one of the cutest pups I've ever seen.

Super cute, though the music sounded weirdly ominous to me. It sounded less baby otter playing with toys and more baby Cthulhu playing with humans as toys.

Well that's pretty much how I already live my life, so it should be an easy transition to indoctrinating my kid into nerdy shit.

Obviously she'll rebel and get super into sports or cars or something, but what can you do? 😄

That's awesome to know. I suppose they're really just a game of "let's pretend" but with a bit of structure.

For me they're aspirational. I haven't played a pen and paper RPG in over 20 years, but like to imagine I'll find the time. With a baby on the way, in about 8 to 12 years I'll have a captive audience to play with, between her and my wife.

It's the same with our giant shelf of board games that are better with 3 players. We're playing the long game here.

I think this counts as an example of mutualism. The human benefits from not having to hold its phone, and the cat benefits from warms on chin.

Not sure if a joke or not? I opened the post expecting a gif of a tortoise running down the road but was met with a static image.

If so ... nicely played.

That or the fox thinks it's in the presence of its god.
