Cute!
I agree, but I make exceptions for black widow spiders. I once even found one nesting in my car's trunk.
My partner has turned me into a spood fan. I oscillated between being scared of them and liking them in my childhood, but after meeting him, I think of them as weird little guys that hang around the house
So far the few I have around here give me a wide berth. Long as that continues we can all coexist
Yo.. is this a random gw2 post???
Just a shoutout.
I've been playing a ton lately and hear this LITERALLY ALL THE TIME. That, and something about wanting more violence ;)
Haha, I played a lot of GW1 and met some of my best irl friend in GW2 in the early days. I basically got the dragon mount and stopped playing shortly after that was released. Sad because I loved, LOVED Cantha in GW1. I should check in again. I have something insane like 4k hours into it. Didn't feel the need to escape so much after I moved abroad.
I just tried to respond but it failed I think.
You really should, the new content is good. Lots of stuff has been refreshed, the story is really starting to both answer questions and ask more. Icebrood saga was awesome and the three (omg you didn't play eod either omg) new expansions have been great. Anet changed their model so there's no more separate living world, those in-betweens will be included with the price of the expansions that will now be released more often. Dx11 is now baseline. There's fishing. And boats. And there are spear builds. And a new trinket slot! And other stuff I don't want to say! And the dailies system has been replaced and it's actually good!
I don't want to spoil anything, but you really should check in again!
I played a little bit of those. I think it was more everyone I used to play with got old and busy. :) I would like to check in soon though, give me a few weeks first to finish everything I need to do lol.
Also anet just announced another expansion is coming out in October.
Ooo what's the mechanic they're adding this time? I have in skiff but it isn't upgraded at all.
Nothing simple that isn't also a spoiler

It turns out to be an allegory for the Cuban Missile Crisis, but I didn't know that for a long time and appreciated it at face value quite a lot.
Well there is no absolute morality and spiders are scary so...
If they don't violate my personal space, they get to live, but if it crawls on my monitor or something similar, I'm getting the slipper

i can either kill them by falling or immediately.
...outside. They deserve to live outside. I unapologetically squish insects and arachnids alike inside my home.
perhaps if they wanted to live inside my house they should have considered not going out of their way to make my instincts scream for death?
Do what orb weavers do: set up a web and stay there, and if you have to move do so slowly.
Respect me and i'll respect you, run at me with your too many legs and i will send you back to god for adjustments.
