watching squirrels reminds me of myself when I was playing arc raiders, running from corner to corner, stopping to see if I hear anything around me, then scavenging for stuff, then run some more to another corner and repeat. then come across some big arc and run for my life

You know, I would totally play an extraction game where you play as a squirrel gathering nuts and things.

Not extraction shooter but if you like open world collectathons, Squirreled Away might be up your alley!

Username checks out! I trust you as an authority on this subject!

Not an extraction game but Squirrel With a Gun might be up your alley.

[–] Squirrelanna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 20 hours ago

Excellent recommendation!

Isn't Acron exactly that, in a couch co-op? 🤩

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That is fun sounding; too bad it's VR + mobile and not... a more reasonable set of environments!

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

True enough, though I gotta admit: a team of even mildly organized squirrels make the tree player (VR) wonder if someone cranked up the difficulty after the kiddos had their turns in the seat. 🥹😂

I used to get squirrels to climb on me for peanuts.

sits in your lap

Peanut please. Peanut me now.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Oh they'll nut you, alright! 😏

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

Oh ouch.

Hope your peanuts get better.

It's more like love-hate for me. They're terribly cute and they do play an important ecological role.

But they are destructive little shits. Mercilessly and needlessly destroying homes, gardens, and at times even vehicles. Their reigns of terror are expensive and tough to mitigate. And with so few remaining natural predators, their populations quickly grow to near plague levels quite rapidly. May your tomato plants be damned.

Stop chasing away the coyotes, corvids, raptors, snakes, or pretty much any mid-tier predator, then. Coexist > consume.

You phrase that like you are accusing me of something specific and making wild assumptions, but it's clear you know nothing about me, so it's really bizarre that you'd say such a thing to me. Like why phrase it that way? I mean, I am totally on board with protecting predators and I get the message, but why be so aggressive with your messaging to me? It makes no sense and it's kind of rude.

if apes hadn't been faster, squirrels would rule the Earth
