@lolwhatno You don't sound dumb at all; he's just a very random chap, but it was more the timing, editing and surrealism of the clip that I found funny. Anyway, you're very welcome for your weird mouth noise!
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
This might've been covered somewhere on this site already, and it's less "weird" and more "frighteningly impressive implementation of technology", but I saw this for the first time earlier and was blown away.
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@lolwhatno Whoa, hold on there, buddy! I get that the idea might seem a bit strange to you and I, but I'd stop well short of calling it "disgusting" or anything else quite so harsh. If that chap wants to dress up like a dog and play-act like one, where's the harm?
It does look like an incredibly realistic costume, but I'd expect nothing less for the price tag!

@lolwhatno i'd say 80% of the time when i see a comment that i agree with and genuinely like on pushsquare it turns out to be lolwhatno !!
again man i totally agree , i find it all very weird, and yea as @RogerRoger said if he wants to do that well he obviously can, nobody will stop him, but i still find it very weird and repulsive (and i believe i've the right to feel that way about it).
Also omg yes , there are way too many ways to make the world better rather than focusing on these things, i like the examples you gave, and there are a lot more things we can do if we really wanna make the world a happier place, rather than encouraging only the weird bizarre stuff.
@lolwhatno Maybe I came across too harshly, and I'm sorry if I did. I would never, ever attack your right to an opinion, nor your right to express it publicly. I was merely taking issue with the severity of the word "disgusting" when directed at an individual person, s'all. I wasn't, and am not, trying to start an argument with you, which is why I called you "buddy" (because I do consider you a friend, and reckon you're ace).
To me, calling something "disgusting" is pretty extreme. If the man's suit was made of real dogs, or was camouflage that he planned to use in order to sell alcohol to children or something, then I'd call it disgusting, but as an artificial semi-animatronic suit (not unlike something that'd be made for a movie, perhaps) I think the craftsmanship is pretty impressive.
I'd put "repulsive" on roughly the same level as "disgusting" as they mean broadly the same thing. In this context, both words express extreme disapproval.
Ultimately, I think I know where you're coming from. I apologise for being the language police.
That being said, and this is where I'll bring in @TheNomadLad as well, I'd respectfully suggest that we steer well clear of the whole "there are better things we can be doing" argument. I completely agree that there are perhaps some universal human truths which should be widely encouraged, but different things represent different levels of importance to different people. I personally believe that it's fairer, quicker, easier and healthier to respect an individual's focus and passion (even if grudgingly and from a distance) rather than trying to dismiss or invalidate it with larger concerns. I mean, c'mon, over the course of our lifetimes, most of us on this forum will spend in excess of £12,480 on our hobby (gaming ain't cheap!) and I think we'd all feel pretty rotten if, every time we sat down to play our PlayStations, somebody stuck their head in the door and said, "Shouldn't you be curing world hunger instead?"
Again, I appreciate that I might've made you more defensive than I intended to, but let's not start ranking the importance of everybody's interests. That's one heck of a slippery slope!
Anyway, yes, let's get back on topic.
Who wants to see a cat dressed as a shark chasing a duck on a Roomba?
What could be more "internet" than that, eh?!
