Hello there! Regarding the ask game— I’m not sure if this is a talent (my best friend says it is but I’m not sure), but I’m really good at finding things on the internet. Like, posts, articles, images— if you can give me even a semi-good description, I can usually find it, even if I’ve never seen it before.

Good at tracking things down you say! Since most animals cannot use the internet (except for that parrot that ordered strawberries lol) I'm going to assign you the animal alter ego of bloodhound!

So cute. This one seems to be sleeping but he can still smell you.

Bloodhounds are amazing trackers. (Although it can be pointed out that they do not possess super-human...super-canine?... abilities and are not leagues and leagues better than other tracking dogs. And there are things they can't do, like smell people who have driven away in cars. That's just not realistic! There are many myths like this about their legendary abilities.) Like all dogs, bloodhounds have ultrasensitive scent membranes. Their sense of smell is 1000 times greater than that of humans. Bloodhounds have some of the largest olfactory membranes found among dogs. Their tracking abilities are so good that their trailing of scents can be admissible in court as evidence.

As a result, bloodhounds have often been called 'noses with dogs attached'! And they are relentless: some have apparently followed trails for over 100 miles.

Also, they are droopy for a reason! It is believed that their ears and skin folds direct particles towards their nose, sort of like how an ear captures sound waves!

Ranking our cyberpunk characters from least to most knowledge of horses:

Lux: What is this “horse” you speak of. 

Memorie:  

(Is it a made up video game thing? An exotic pet? A type of carrier robot?)

Nikki: Aware that a horse is a type of large riding animal that exists in the Empire. She knows exactly as much about horses as she cares to. (When she thinks of horses, she is picturing something closer to a bull.)

Kass: Kass had no clue what a horse was before they started broadcasting, but now has a decent idea if not a perfect mental picture. 

Lyssel: Went down an internet rabbit hole one day five years ago and ended up learning in-detail about horse anatomy. They’ve forgotten most of it, but still have a very basic understanding of Horse. 

Soma: Soma actually does know what horses are and can clearly picture them, because they were prominently featured in his second-favourite video game; Betrayer King's Hall. Though admittedly, due to game mechanics, he does think they’re master trackers. (Like bloodhounds).

What does a normal date seem like for Bloodhound and Crypto? well, they don't go on many dates, but when they do it consists of either staying in the dropship and watching movies cuddled up at night in the lounge (where occasionally some other legends might sit down to watch for a bit before leaving), going out to the city to just look around the small family runned shops, staying in either of their rooms and just relaxing or talking about any news, or maybe just a short walk through the arena/ or any kind of just calm garden like scenary.

Of course, the other legends will always try to keep track on the dates since they're all still SUPER confused about the sudden relationship. Even Revenant will occasionally pitch in to eavesdrop on the couple out of curiosity, and then proceed to keep most information gained to himself in spite of the other 'skin bags'. Caustic just never really cared too much, he found the whole 'dating' thing to annoy him instead, being rather bitter whenever he woke up early to grab his coffee only for the table topic of the day to be the relationship between the trackers.

Crypto was a bit skeptical on being open on their relationship to the other legends at first, so of course Bloodhoudn respected his wishes and for the first month or so they didn't do anything to possibly expose their relationship. Then it was Crypto again that started to get jealous over the lack of attention and decided to just drop it, actually, he ended up getting really frustrated one match and after they won, he dropped his head on Bloodhounds shoulder and grumbled a few complaints in korean before whispering multiple very quiet 'I love you's and 'You dumbass's after the hunter had won them the game with only a sliver of health left and 0 heals. Obviously, the cameras from the drones caught everything and the internet went wild over the small action of the hacker, all the watchers at home qent wild with hollers or just couldn't believe their eyes.

During an interview a few days later, the pair were asked if they were dating, both rejected that and then later on the dropship in the comfort of the other legends they came forth as a couple.

Everyone was utterly stooped, many thought the pair were joking until Renee pointed out that neither of the legends tend to really 'joke' about theese topics.

And thus led to the internet growing insane with their shippings and the legends spying their date from the opposite table and behind newspapers.

Factors to Consider when Buying a Pet Dog

Dogs are possibly the most popular and loved pets among people all over the world. Most pet owners will either have a cat or dog, which has led to the lighthearted and mostly hilarious “dog people” versus “cat people” arguments and jokes all over the internet. Dogs are excellent companions for humans for so many reasons. First, dogs are extremely intelligent and can be taught to perform a variety of tasks. Besides, dogs are quite social and interactive therefore, an excellent pet to spend time with, unlike other domestic animals that barely show any concern for their owners. Dogs can also offer security and warn their owners when they sense something for example if someone breaks into the compound. Over time, many dog breeds have been developed, for example, Pit bulls and blue weimaraners . You can find these dogs in various pet shops. This article discusses some factors to consider when buying a pet dog.

One thing you have to consider is the breed of the pet dog you want to buy. Different dog breeds will have different characteristics and will want to be taken care of differently. Some dog breeds, for example, the pit bull or German shepherd are quite aggressive and might not be friendly to guests. They might hurt them however, they are excellent guard dogs. Other breeds like the bloodhound are quite good for tracking down animals and hunting. Pets like the chihuahua are much smaller and quite playful. They are quite convenient to walk around with and inexpensive to take care of.

Another thing to consider is the cost of owning a particular dog. There are two aspects to this; one is purchasing the dog and another is its cost of upkeep. Some exotic dog breeds are extremely expensive to purchase and keep, however, they are quite useful for the specific purposes they were intended for. An example is the German shepherd which is a wonderful security or police dog that can be trained to perform complex tasks, for example, sniffing out drugs and certain explosives or track down and stop suspects that are trying to run away without hurting them. Some expensive dogs like certain chihuahua breeds are not at all expensive to keep because they consume very little food and since they are in-door pets, they don’t catch many diseases or parasites.

You also have to factor in the intended purpose for the dog. Different dog breeds behave differently. Some are more equipped to perform certain tasks than others for example, the bloodhound is a wonderful hunter and tracker of wild animals. Other dogs like the Beagle are excellent house pets as they consume very little food and are intelligent enough to learn tricks like opening doors and flushing toilets. So what are you waiting for? Start looking for your blue weimaraners now!

One last thing to consider is the environment in your area of residence. Different dog breeds are adapted to survive in different environments. The Golden Retriever, for example, is a dog that thrives in extremely hot environments and is an appropriate choice for people living in arid parts of the country

Apex Legends is now available on Origin for free, official PC system requirements

Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment launched today Apex Legends, a free-to-play battle royale shooter available right now on Origin for PC. Set in the Titanfall universe, Apex Legends aims to shake up the battle royale genre with a cast of unique characters, squad-based gameplay, innovative mechanics and more.

Apex Legends promises to deliver a squad-based battle royale experience with a uniquely Respawn flavor. Players will select from one of eight Legends – each with their own unique abilities and playstyles – and the last team standing wins. Combatants can choose from unique characters like Bloodhound, the tracker who can see recent enemy activity on the map, or Lifeline, a battlefield medic who can shield teammates and bring them back from the brink of death. Balanced squads and teamwork are critical, as each Legend is easy to pick up and learn, but challenging to master.

Drew McCoy, Lead Producer for Apex Legends, said:

“Our goal in every game you play is that you come in with a plan but you leave with a story. We’re building a game that is not only going to deliver a fun and memorable experience at launch, but something we can keep growing for a long time to come.”

As the press release reads, Apex Legends showcases several new genre-leading innovations, starting before players even start the match. Once players are ready to begin, they’ll choose their drop point with the Jumpmaster system, giving each squad full control over exactly where they drop in. Is it smarter to head straight for the most valuable loot and risk early conflict with other teams, or make for one of the outlying areas to plot an attack and let other squads pick each other off?

Apex Legends also delivers Respawn Beacons, one-time use locations where defeated teammates can be revived, a contextual Ping communication system that allows players to call out enemies, weapons, locations and more with the push of a button, and an intelligent inventory system which automatically attaches gear and equipment to the appropriate weapons once players pick them up. All together it creates a battle royale experience unlike any other, complete with Respawn’s commitment to top-notch quality and fun.

EA and Respawn have also revealed the game’s official PC system requirements that you can find below.
