two weeks.

ALSO YES CATTES ARE GREAT, do it. get a rescue cat, simply because there's heaps of cats that don't have homes and it's a good thing to do. (also they usually take a while to settle in and learn about you so don't be too alarmed by their first impressions of your house.)

I love my Norwegian Forest Cats, but second the whole "get-a-rescue" idea. I had a specific set of wants when I picked up my two purebred cats, but absent of those considerations any catte is a good catte, given enough love & treats & respect.

Never, really, never ever get only one catte. Cats are very social animals and they will get bored to death when you take only one. Also, if you want to save hassle, don't get kittens and take a cat that is ~1 year old or so. My 2 maine coon baby kittens are really adorable but can be very needy and tiring regarding play. One would think they'd play with each other, but no, coming home after work and they want to play and jump around and mess poo poo up, if they haven't done already during the day. I'm still happy with my cattes, though. It's kind of a good preparation for having kids I guess.

Also prepare for catte hair everywhere. Long haired cattes are easier to clean up after than short haired ones though.

Generally, please don't get a catte without informing yourself of their needs beforehand. Only a happy catte is a good catte. And you don't want to be a bad catte owner, do you?

First you'll want to organize some details. Most specifically the following:

1. Where are you? Australia/EU is much more consumer friendly compared to the US.

2. When did you make the purchase? This establishes the expectation for delivery as well as the scope of the project.

3. When was the last time you installed Star Citizen? This determines the ToS that you agree to.

4. How did you buy the package? If you used PayPal to buy it then don't issue a bank chargeback because they'll just go after PayPal.

1. Living in the UK, but I used my American bank debit card.

2. November, 2012

3. I'm pretty certain I've never downloaded or installed this piece of poo poo.

4. Bank debit card.

I think I've started chargeback procedures with my bank, because they're asking me for:

quote:

A detailed letter explaining the dispute
The merchant s name
Date of transaction
Amount of transaction
Amount in dispute
When and how the merchant was contacted
The reason the merchant refused to issue a credit

Also I haven't formally requested a refund from RSI, I'm guessing I should go do that? I mainly put it off because I figured they'd just say no and copy+paste the same bullshit everyone else gets. If anyone else would like to chime in with suggestions feel free!

I got the big brown NFC I occasionally post pics of to fill the gap that was left after my roommate's big brown cat died. She was from a pet store, but we always thought she was a NFC (wrong face for a Maine Coon). I found an amazing breeder who screens her breeding stock for the exact sort of thing that felled the now-departed cat & bought Nico for my roommate. We quickly realized that a kitten needs more active play pals than a 11 & 18 year old elderly cat pair (especially when she got bigger than the two of them put together), so I grabbed my Ultra Violet about a year later. Much better for all involved, it's not like a toddler on the rampage at the old folks' home. Now the two NFCs are the best of friends & inseparable so I'm keeping them both when my roomie moves out later this year. The older two also seem to be a lot more active & lively with the young two always playing around.

(Hence why I post many pictures of my white floofball, but not so many of the brown one, as she's not "mine", even though she is.)

All that glitters is not gold.
As some sort of lazy hobbyist artist, I will admit that trying to create the image or styles or technology 900 years into the future sounds like.. daunting task. And technology would most certainly affect the fashion too. So, in that sense I don't exactly blame people if they opt to go with what they 'know'.. but it's not very creative.
I mean, middle ages vs modern time, don't think anyone in their wildest dreams could have imagined the poo poo we come up with.. and thanks to the crazy rate technology will continue to advance.. well.. 900 years is a drat long time.

Knowing that, it does seem rather silly how they've approached all of it.. they're stuck in those say.. 80's or 90's space adventure styles instead of going for a more futuristic view. Weird being stuck in age like that, but I guess that's the vision Roberts is stuck with. The vision he never got to create and never bothered to update?
So yeah, it'd be nice if they tried going creative and wild, do something really different. I've had my share of laughs over goofy costumes in futuristic movies but when you think about it, at least they're trying something new instead of playing it safe.

Also, 900 years into the future? We're already developing robotics and taking quite big advances on that field, why is it that everything relies on humans in the future? Is there some explanation to it in the lore, ala Dune where thinking machines were wiped out?

And out of curiosity, how many major disasters and such did they include into the that 900 year period? Wars, natural ones etc?

Not all cattes and dogs will be friends but it is great when they bond over their common love of food and soft places to sleep.



Greyhound and black catte bros

And yeah, get a rescue cat. Don't rush and get the first one you find, check a few adoption events until you find the right catte for you ; you will know.

My rescue cat chose me rather than the other way around. Due to my own lovely health, I wanted to get an older cat.... one that sleeps all day and doesn't make much noise. When I got to the rescue centre, as soon as Bow saw me, me wouldn't stop meowing. He was eating at the time, and kept going back to his food bowl to take a mouthful, then chewed and swallowed whilst doing figures of 8 around my legs. He was meowing throughout all of this.

"I'll have that human please."

So I came home with a 7 month old neurotic, loud, attention-seeking crazy furball... and I haven't regretted it one bit :)

You're going to need to request a refund from RSI because you don't actually have a dispute with them unless they refuse your refund. Yes, it's a formality, but it'll make the process smoother for your bank.

I had to do some work in my audio editing sw to time it just right, but well worth I think. Glad you appreciated that.
