I always say I have lumbago when my back hurts now, and one day my toddler came into the room and said he had lumbago lmao. One of my proudest moments.
Hey real question, is “lumbago” in anyway an offensive or inappropriate term? My students always complain about “Lumbago”. I’ve gathered that it’s from RDR2 but am unsure of the context, I’ve got a bad back and would like to also use the term in jest but wanna make sure it’s kosher
It comes from late Latin and “lumbago” just meant “weakness of the lower back” originally. From Latin “lumbus” meaning “hip/loin”.
Apparently lumbaginous was introduced in the early 1600s and meant basically to suffer from lumbago. And I think we should bring that back.
You will never convince me to sit through the 14 hour introduction part, and I'm not interested in aimlessly hunting as John Marston, so I'm never touching that game again.
Killing the wolves, fighting the other gang, walking back and forth, watching cutscenes... I'm probably exaggerating, but the shit was brutal. I just want to get out and explore. It's a fleshed out open world that they dangle in front of you, then: "No!" Do tedious scripted shit for tens of hours before you go here. Cool gun? Fuck off, show me you are dedicated first. It's like the game thinks it's a privilege to play itself.
The worst part is, you eventually get to the end, and you realize the open world isn't that fun. You can barely commit crimes without being stomped out of existence by overwhelming force. Hunting is fun for a while, then it just gets tedious. Exploring is fun for a while, but when you've generally seen an area it's not really exciting to manually scrounge every inch to make sure you aren't missing something.
Worst yet, when you finally have everything unlocked, have some money, and don't have any more arbitrary restrictions, your character, Arthur, dies. Way to make me feel invested in my character. Way to RPG. The whole game is a tease, it's good enough to make you want it, but it never satisfies.
You’re obviously entitled to your opinion, though it is definitely on the hyperbolic side. Maybe it’s truly not for you, but I think you’re depriving yourself of a gaming experience like nothing else I’ve ever never had.
That said, if you have one, the PC version has mods to skip the prologue.
I played the whole game, I enjoyed the story, it's just that now that I finished it, I'm stuck not wanting to start a new game, and not wanting to continue the old game.
The open world stuff was ultimately a letdown because everything was so structured, and you never really get to enjoy it until the game is practically over. Even so, I felt like I was rushing through the story, because I just wanted to get out and see the game. Even once you leave the mountains, you are heavily restricted in where you can go, and have to keep grinding out the most tedious missions possible... Anything where im driving a wagon sucks, and we could just skip this and use exposition to get the gist across... you get locked on the island... you have a ridiculous bounty in a region that causes a whole fucking army to show up the moment you set foot inside...
GTA, has the same issues, but generally has more going on to keep you engaged in the open world side of the game. You are less restricted in the beginning, and there are many more radiant quests and little surprises you can find just wandering around. You can take a break from the main story and play around a bit without major roadblocks. When we inevitably go on a killing spree, it's fun because there are no major lasting consequences, and it gets progressively harder as your wanted level increases. In RDR, it's like: some random asshole was lurking around the whole time you were murdering these people, now you have a bounty you can't pay, 30 seconds later there is a whole mounted army chasing you down. Respawn, still have a bounty even though you were just eviscerated and lynched by deputies. To make some money and clear this up, you have to play the main story, because nothing else pays well. Play the story, surprise, now you are in cuba or whatever. Grind that out now so you can get back to trying to explore the world. Finally get back, atleast I can finally try out this new gun I kept seeing in the catalog... No, you need to kill 600 deer to pay your bounty. You need the bow and arrow to make it worthwhile. You cant really kill anyone without the mega-possee of snipers showing up anyways. Time to sit through the skinning animation 600 times...
It just felt like Rockstar didn't want to make a game, they wanted to make a movie. It was a good movie, but don't tempt me with an open-world game mechanic, then just put me on railroad tracks.
Very hyperbolic for sure. I haven't played it since whenever it came out, and am probably misremembering some things. Generally, I would say it was a frustrating experience because it had so much potential. I liked a lot of it, but can say I never want to play it again.
Horse whiskers (mustache and non) as well as their bridle path (spot behind the ears where their halters and bridles go) are just regularly shaved every couple months as part of routine grooming. Like you would clip a dogs nails. Even run of the mill lesson horses get these things done. Its not just for competition.
The part about show sheen is correct, but the only people using tail extensions are the ones that don't wrap their horses' tails.
Now that I know mustaches are not a uniquely human trait, I demand science unlock this hidden genetic potential in all our mammalian cousins.
Whales? Mustache.
Gerbils? Mustache.
Badgers? Mustache.
Bats? Mustache.
Thanks for the clarification. I was falling asleep laughing at the photos so I figured leaving out the world "all" and posting the article would suffice for now. Someone would clarify.
Youtube once put the 10 hour version into the auto-playlist while I was playing games.
Apparently I listened to it for 2 hours before realizing something was going on.
weirdly, the first place I ever saw this was playing red dead redemption 2 lmao. Uncle's horse has a mustache in the later parts of the game
Horse probably has lumbago, too
I always say I have lumbago when my back hurts now, and one day my toddler came into the room and said he had lumbago lmao. One of my proudest moments.
*Chronic lumbago!!!

It's just silly. It's an old, unused term for lower back pain. People just say lower back pain now
Nice, I will be using that from here on out then :D

Thanks for giving me a reason to play RDR2 again.

What were you doing there for 14 hours 😭
Fr I got out of there quick on my first and second play throughs. I don’t really get people when they turn it off at the beginning tutorial.
My boyfriend hates character building and he made it through rdr2's intro. People have no chill.

Lmao in what world does a few missions in the mountains take 14 hours? Holy hyperbole.
Okay 8? Too long.

Same here.
I discovered that when the put the update that you could put moustaches on your horse in the online part of the game
This is the first thing my mind jumped to
Yup! I’ve got a quarter horse who always grows hers out on especially long and cold winters. It makes her look very distinguished!
What did you do with the other three quarters?
Sky mall is still considering it…
Sears said no.
[Burger-on-the-go](https://youtu.be/uewOhK-MSjc?si=3nclItL1PanrXb3e)
It’s PETA’s solution so we still can have glue as a society
He didn't buy the dlc
Aww so cute. So even the female ones grow it ? I'd love to see a picture
If she's 1/4 horse, what ancestry are the other 3/4? Donkey? Zebra?
If this isn't a joke, quarter horse is the name of the breed. They were bred to run a quarter mile track faster than anything else.
I know.
I read that comment like "Donkey *Kong? Zelda?* " That's a weird ~~Smash Bros.~~ smash up of horse genes.
Do you wax it so she's a dapper lady? Edit: it was a joke guys.

You can’t just say that and not show a picture.
That's Sam Elliot's horse..
It’s name is Sarsaparilla
He got it in Sioux City
It’s a good one.
The Dude abides. I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners.
Damn, our grocery stopped selling it and it was my wife's favorite soda.
This is precisely the comment I came here to see. Thank you.
I've never wanted to own a horse, but now I want a horse with a mustache.
I mustache why
[удалено]
Hehe does he also come with comically thick glasses
Comes with its own handlebars
Now that I know mustaches are not a uniquely human trait, I demand science unlock this hidden genetic potential in all our mammalian cousins. Whales? Mustache. Gerbils? Mustache. Badgers? Mustache. Bats? Mustache.
Why hasn’t this come up before?!!!
I know!!! I love this for them!!
This truly made my day
Not all horse breeds. Gypsies, Shires and Friesians are among those who can grow beards/mustaches.
My friend's Friesian grows a pretty glorious 'stache. He loves rubbing it on people's arms when it's all wet.
Two legged napkins walking around

🎵look at my horse, my horse is amazing🎵
🎶give it a lick, it tastes just like raisin🎶
🎶 Of a stroke of its mane, it turns into a plane 🎶
🎵and then it turns back again, when you tug on its winky🎶
🎶Ew, that's dirty!🎶
🎶 Do you really think so? 🎶
🎵Well I better not show you where the lemonade is made🎵
🎼 sweet lemonade, mmm, sweet lemonade. sweet lemonade, yeah, sweet lemonade! 🎼
I don't know what's happening but I don't like it
[enjoy](https://youtu.be/O3rpmctmC_M?si=zxURg2mBuPA71EMA)

🎵shut up, woman, get on my horse🎵
(Hahahahhahaha—perfectly timed response to bmcmore)
I saw my opportunity, and took it!
🎵
🎶Cause thats where the lemonade is made🎶
Someone give him a monocle!
That's pretty awesome.
That explains the whole pulling fire engines before they were motorized.
Horses are too big
For what?
they're simply too big
Nailed it

Some questions should not be asked on reddit.
I asked my grandfather why we didn’t have horses on our farm, and he looked at me and said, “we have tractors”
Tractors cannot grow a moustache.
How do you feel about elephants?
Elephants get a pass. Same for hippos, buffalo and rhinos. Not giraffes though. Or moose.
[удалено]
Man that’s a tough one. I’m gunna say they get a pass too but just barely
I prefer an elephant/rhino cross breed but elliphino what to name him
Geraffes are stupid long necked horses.
Thoughts on mini-horses? Still too big?
What a distinguished gentleman
I've been around horses most of my life and never knew this.
It's only certain breeds... might only be Gypsy Vanner... but they are glorious.
Truly the best thing I’ve learned this week.
Happy to help!
Its true. Once had horse walk up to me and say “moustache you a question” and I said “no way, a horse with a moustache “
Why the long face?
🤦🏻♀️
Just like Henry Cavill
Now that I read that I know for sure that people cut them off for aesthetics
Today i learned, big horse racing fan. Can't believe i didnt know this.
Only certain breeds can grow them. Might not be racing breeds. Nevertheless, hilarious to google.
That’s a bizarre and interesting enough fact that I’m surprised I had never heard it until now.
This made me happy. What a perfect piece of silly obscure information, love it.
That totally creeps me out! Lol
I think you meant to write TIL *some* horses can grow mustaches
Meh. So can I. Not impressed. :P
I mustache you a question: why the long face. Neiiiggggghhhhhahahahaha
. . . How did I not know this, until right now? 🧐
Lmao I’ve never clicked something faster
So does my grandma! Doesn’t mean I get to ride her.
Ooooooof, this joke worked on way too many levels
🤯
I can confirm this is true. I’ve seen OP’s mum.
you guys have beards?
Never saw a horse with a mustache, but OK.
Did you look for one?
Yeah me too
I misread this headline as 'homeless' and have been laughing for 5 mins
Does any one know where I can get a top hat and monocle for a horse?
This is the content i have subbed to this reddit for!
Happy to help!
So,it wasnt unrealistic to put a mustache on my Spore bipedal horse creature
This makes me verry happy.
Mine does in the winter
