My aunt has a ragdoll. She constantly brings her comb to people and stands with her chin raised and eyes closed, ready for them to comb her. Gets very annoyed if they don't.

I initially read this as a toy ragdoll, and your aunt bringing the toy doll and a comb and silently demanding people to comb the hair on the doll.

Apparently, this is how one is supposed to read it, for anyone else wondering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragdoll

I remember when Unreal Tournament introduced ragdoll physics.

UT never did such a thing.
(I know you mean 2004 - what I'm hinting at is that the og one didn't and because of me knowing mostly that one my back hurts a bit more. Actually I remember Trespasser ~~with boob-hearth~~ ragdolling, wild)

I definitely remember the boob health meter, but it had ragdolling?

The main thing I remember about that game was it being the first one I played that allowed me to soft lock my progress.

edit: and being impressed at the lady's strength, throwing around boxes and barrels with one hand.

Well fuck me, I never ever questioned the strength of her fully extended arm just casually throwing boxes around, not for a single moment.

The ragdolls, I remember corpses on slopes respecting proper boundaries.

It seems you could glitch it out too: youtube/i6cWEbkBeZQ.

The game had a pretty interesting history, too. In case you're not familiar with the details, you might enjoy this or a similar video: https://youtu.be/bp7PqRMI1HA

I read it as the aunt carrying the comb and asking for a brush

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I read it as an ant with a comb and three giraffes in a hot tub.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Obviously the toy ragdoll brings the brush to guests & demands brushies.

Now THIS is the horror film I want to see advertised on every bus in a nine-mile radius.

Well that's just adorable.
