'Bout everything I hear from the game dev industry in general is... pretty fucking miserable, tbh, outside the occasional small studio or whatever. Little worker protection, nasty environment especially from the upper ranks, etc. Blizzard isn't special on this front, in other words.

As I've seen it put aptly, there's a reason most of the major studios largely source their work in places like the US or whatever, areas where labor laws and whatnot are shite. Industry is just kinda' rotten

I mean, you do you. You do you_{(r pillow apparently, I don't judge, sometimes the bedding just needs a good time, I can respect that).}

Less(?) seriously, you'd probably be fine with normal pillows, but some of those fancy body pillows might draw some eyebrow waggles and chortling nudges, so, y'know.

... but yeah, unintentional, got it. It happens.

... is the innuendo there intentional, or...?

Uh. Huh. Is that cotton candy flavored macaroni?

I can see it working (sweet pasta's fine if you feel like making it, by and large), I guess.

Like, there might be something depending on the specific locality, but if it's common or easily accessible, I haven't personally heard of it. We're both stateside, and in general educational support for working class folks (or parents, or anyone with an irregular schedule for whatever reason) is... usually not great. You can definitely have low credit hour semesters, but odd hours or self-study/own-pace type dealios would probably take some finagling.

It probably exists, because sure, there's folks that need it, but something existing and something being easy to find or access is two very different things, especially if you ain't got a lot of money or time to throw at it.

... wait, spent? It's pure bred, or are you just talking the basic vet care stuff? 'Cause pure bred will... probably be worse for you. Mutts are generally just kinda' better in every way, in my experience.

Also sounds a lot like the primary owner is neglecting them on top of everything else, if you're the primary caretaker ~half the day, which extra sucks. Dunno how well toughing it out will work, though. Just the house training (i.e. no more mopping up piss) takes a good 4-6 months, and that's if the folks involved are actually doing what they're supposed to be doing.

... but yeah, best wishes. I was actually in a similar situation recently-ish, but there wasn't much money spent on it so sunk cost didn't get involved and I was able to convice the person that got the puppy to get rid of it in relatively short order. Wasn't, uh. Wasn't exactly a happy ending 'cause the person they foisted the puppy on ultimately ran said puppy over and killed it, but, um. It was a ending? I guess.

Puppies are a lot of effort regardless, tbh. Decently trained doggo with a nice personality can be pretty good.

Puppy is not decently trained. Training a puppy is a fairly substantial amount of work to do right, and until that point they're basically rampaging shit machines, like human babies except it's legal to sell them if they get too annoying.

If you're not a dog person you probably shouldn't have a puppy, heh. Leave that to someone that knows what they're doing and enjoys the experience, y'know? Anyway, g'luck, don't punt the puppy, etc.
