Furry's Obsessive Spying Is Destroying a Friendship

Ask Papabear - Tue 29 May 2012 - 11:13
Papabear,

So I’ve got this fur-friend who lives nearby. He's sweet, he really is, but he is ever so obsessive. 

I've known him since last autumn, and due to we both having gone through a tough growth, we both consider each other furry brothers. 

We spent the past New Year's together with another fur. He and another fur later became mates, and after a stormy relationship (due to him being extremely suspicious about everything) that other fur broke up with him because he was stressing him out and he was pretty much living his life, not his own. 

After that, my fur brother got upset and refused to ever talk with him again. (Just like he refuses to talk to anyone he's had a past relationship with.)

Now, I'm VERY good friends with the person that broke up with him, and we've sort of wanted to get it on with each other, but as I’ve promised him not to, even if they weren't together anymore.

And even before they became mates, we talked regularly together, and he was EXTREMELY obsessive over me, and had moments where he went "You like him more than me, don't you? Say it!" even though I’ve told him several times that I don't put my friends on a ranking list.

As both he and I are fans of the annual Eurovision Song Contest (Europes most popular TV-show), I spent the Eurovision week together with him and he kept spying on me. Whenever I went to the bathroom or the like, he sneaked onto my laptop to read conversation logs, so I had to put a password on my laptop and lock it every time I went somewhere. And it didn't stop there. He kept sneak peeking over to my laptop screen whenever we were both in his couch, and he got upset whenever I tried to shield his vision from my screen. And whenever he wasn't trying to spy on my screen, he asked me like every 10 seconds, what I was doing, who I was talking to and what we were talking about. He even wouldn't let me send texts without asking who I was texting. It felt like I was in a "Big Brother is watching you" community. 

Now, while I was visiting him, I told him that I had plans to move in together with the fur who used to be his mate because where I currently live, the two furs that live here are moving out (they're a couple and obviously want to live their own life) and I can't stand the neighbours upstairs. They're noisy, got no respect whatsoever etc. And if left alone, that's when my bad thoughts creep up on me. (I've got a depression since 10 years back). Anyhow, when I told him that, he told me he might not ever be able to talk to me again. And later that evening, he texted me (even though I was 2 meters away) and said it might be the best if we part ways. And the next day he acted as if everything was fine. And that next day was when I was going home as well, and when I got home, I was so exhausted from EVERYTHING that had happened, and I still am. I've honestly pondered if it'd be best to cut ties with him. He's stressing me out as hell, and trying to help him just makes my own depression seem to get worse.

I'm afraid that if I let this go on the bubble will burst and I'll take everything I've kept inside out on someone.

What would be the best thing for me to do?

Dear Anonymous,

Papabear believes you already know what to do, but I will add a little advice to an uncharacteristically short response from the ol’ bear. Since you care about this furry, you can try sitting him down and saying, “Look, you know I care about you, but your obsessive spying on me shows that you do not trust me, and when there is no trust in a relationship—ANY kind of relationship—then it is doomed to fail. Because you mean a lot to me, I am giving you a chance: stop spying on me and being suspicious of me and we can continue to be friends. If you can’t, then you are correct in what you said in your text message to me: we need to go our separate ways.”

See what he says to that. If he agrees to try and do better, then give him another chance. If he improves, then great! Your friendship can continue. If not, then you have your answer. Same if he rejects your proposal outright.

Your friend is clearly very disturbed. He could probably benefit from counseling, but the kind of help he would need is far beyond what you can provide. Not only that, but you have your own issues to deal with (your depression) and being in this unhealthy relationship can only harm you if it continues the way it has been. You need to surround yourself, as much as possible, with loving and caring people, not people who stress you out and make your life miserable.

Before you cut him out, talk to him one more time and give him a chance. This is always the right thing to do, but judging by what you have told Papabear, I frankly don’t think he will change that easily. Therefore, protect your own sanity and well-being. You’ll know what to do.

Hugs,

Papabear 

Do you feel/act like an animal?

Furry Reddit - Tue 29 May 2012 - 11:07

Do you personally show any actions that would make you seem more animalistic/furry? As my friends call me, "kitty" because i streach like one, although ive told them im a canine. Or my ears twitch or prick very noticibly towards a sound. Tell me if this is normal, or just something diffrent :3 what have you fellow furries noticed before?

I need help, and I'm sure you can lend me a paw.

Furry Reddit - Mon 28 May 2012 - 21:18

I'm working on a new fursuit, my 2nd in fact. My issue is the eyes. I have white buckram, and my fellow fursuiting buddy gave me no advice on how to make eyes out of it, or make a design on it. Furries of reddit, you're my last hope! If anyone could help, please comment.

Diablo 3 Easter Eggs, Whimseyshire and Beyond

Gaming Furever - Furry Game News - Mon 28 May 2012 - 17:59

Diablo 3 is the latest gaming hit from Blizzard and has broken previous records to become the most pre-ordered game on Amazon.com of all time.  This great title includes a bunch of easter eggs as well as various pop-culture references and Blizzard Employee cameos hidden within the game.

Previous Diablo games have been known for the infamous "Cow Level" in which players could unlock a secret level with cow enemies in it.  Blizzard stated at launch there was no "Cow Level"  well there isn't as far as anyone has seen but there is a PONY level.  Yes if you gather up the various items required you can unlock a hidden level called Whimseyshire which is a magical cute land of happy clouds and rainbows in an obvious poke at My Little Pony populated by magical purple and pink unicorns and other cute creatures that are all hostile.  They may look cute but they can kill you depending on your level when you enter it and Whimseyshire is available on each difficulty level with increasing loot quality and mob strength.

Screenshot152

So, you want to go to Whimseyshire?  Here is a concise list of items needed to make the Staff of Herding which will unlock the level when you go to Old Tristram Road and speak to the Ghost of the Cow King.  Unlocking the level and entering grants a Feat of Strength.  Once you have the staff you can upgrade it to unlock Nightmare, Hell, and Inferno difficulty levels.  There are rumors of a hidden boss if you unlock it on Inferno.

Leroic’s Shinbone Act: 1 – Found Inside of the fireplace in Leroic’s Manor (Click on the burnt logs) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eIbYgfoBSs
The Black Mushroom Act: 1 – Found in the cathedral, most commonly floor 1 (Click mushroom pile) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-RLeehzfYA
Liquid Rainbow Act: 2 – Inside of a mysterious cave in act 2 (Dahlgur Oasis) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2irGFmldec0
Wirt’s Bell Act: 2 – Bought for 100,000 gold from Squirts in the Act 2 Bazaar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FspdRzxIg_k
Gibbering Gemstone Act: 3 – Drops from Chiltara in the Caves of Frost(Found after Bridge of Korsikk) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxUh63yx4oU
Plans: Staff of Herding Act: 4 The recipe to craft the staff is a drop from Izual (Act 4 Boss) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geoODfSVs3U

And there you have it, good luck and happy pony slaying.  Apologies to MLP lovers for the equine carnage.

As far as other Easter Eggs go there is also a hidden level called Development Hell which obviously is on Hell difficulty and can be opened as an additional tomb in the Cemetery of the Forsaken.  If you unlock the 4th tomb you enter Development Hell in which you face off against all the developer staff of Diablo 3 turned into zombies etc.  Finally you must face and slay the game's producer which grants you a Feat of Strength.  The exact method of unlocking this hidden level is not clear and appears to be partially RNG or may be tied to having already earned other achievements.

Dev_Hell_Achieve

We put the Game Producer down a few days ago and earned the achievement.

Finally there are the Blizzard cameo appearances.  A number of the senior GM's make a special appearance in the game as high level elite mobs.  Below is me taking down Zarhym who is one of the GM's that regularly interacts with players on the forums.

Screenshot179

However the real prize is Bashiok and this famous Blizzard GM even has his own special achievement for defeating him which requires you to obtain a special item from and event and use it to fight him should you encounter this rare mob.  I am presently hunting Bashiok though he has yet to show himself on any difficulty level Normal, Nightmare, or Hell but from what I've heard he can appear in any difficulty his spawn chance though is very low.

Hopefully this helps you in your own quest for more hidden content in Diablo 3, good luck and happy hunting.

Why is having sex in a fursuit controversial here in r/furry?

Furry Reddit - Mon 28 May 2012 - 17:49

I posted this in the "Whats the purpose of the fursuit?" thread on /r/furry. I put that sometimes people like to fuck in their fursuits. I was amazed at the amount of downvotes that my comment got.

So I ask you /r/furry why is having a fursuit on whilst having sex so controversial in a place like this?

braces for downvotes
