Would walkers and canes actually be of any use to quadrupeds?

So I'm a huge fan of the show My Little Pony, and while it wasn't extremely common, the animators occasionally showed elderly ponies using walkers or canes. They're typically shown being used by elderly ponies, so I believe the implication is that they need them for the same typical reasons elderly humans need them.

But from what I understand, the main reason why humans need aids like walkers and canes is because we're bipedal. So I feel like a wheelchair designed for quadrupeds would be the proper mobility aid, right?

If they were intelligent enough to understand how to use walkers or canes, would there ever be a situation where they'd be the preferred mobility aid over wheelchairs?

I made a short video demonstrating that a sphere can appear flat from the right perspective

I make 3D models in Blender. So I decided to make the sphereiest sphere I could possibly render without crashing my computer. Added a line down the side as a visual reference, and placed the camera directly on top of the sphere. I've shown it to a few flerfs, and they still argue it's impossible for a sphere to appear flat. Oddly enough, none of them have accused me of faking the video/flatness, just that it's impossible because sphere is round.

Uhhhh, Kira?

Anyone else get "Night at The Roxbury" vibes, or is it just me? XD

Evil Chloe was wasted on Wicked Wonderland

https://preview.redd.it/jwjfso9eqdgh1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=1e32390dd2f190878e34edea596bc0721864a28e

Evil Chloe was unnecessary for this film, and her evil turn was way too short. Her turning evil because of Red's treatment was a really good idea, but I personally feel it would've been better if they saved it for another installment where Chloe is the villain for the entirety of the film. It would've been a much more natural descent into darkness, would give Red a better chance to learn from her mistakes, and we could've had another look into what happens when one of the HKs turns bad. This time from a point of being a true goodie-two-shoes instead of someone who was already a bit dark (Audrey).

Advice on where/how best to get a canopy?

We want to get a canopy for our truck, but I've never owned a truck before, so I don't know where to go or what to look for. I'm hoping there's an inexpensive way to get one, as we are on a limited budget, but we could really use the canopy to keep our mobility aids dry if we can't bring them inside when it rains. Tarps have proven to be unreliable, so while we are using them currently, we'd prefer a canopy.

How do I tighten up these curls/curlers?

I have zero experience with curlers as a whole, so while I feel like I'm doing as well as I can with my level of experience, I would like some advice on how to get the outer edges of the hair to stay snug around the curlers.

The problem I'm having is particularly visible in the second curl down. It's barely wrapped around the curler. I'm using curlers that have an almost velcro style grip on them, but that only grabs so much. I think part of the issue is that in order to get the right look, I'm sewing two curlers together so there's one large curl instead of two. I couldn't find curlers that were long enough, so this was me improvising.

The con this is for is in mid-August, so while I don't think I can start over, maybe I can get some advice for the rest of the wig, plus future glow-ups.

Another freaking bug. Replica painting.

No, not the bug where it can't be placed in 208. I can't even get that far. I stole the replica from the shed (edit: the shed at 202, with the painting still in the frame), and it says to send through blackbay, but the listing isn't showing up. I did get a bug directly before this where I couldn't pick up Vinny's call, so that's probably where it actually bugged out. I had to restart the game to get past that. Do I have to start over again? If so, how do I avoid this one? On Switch 2.

ETA: Given how many issues there are with this game on the Switch, I'm considering giving up on it and getting the PC version with its DLCs. Is there any actual difference between the Mastermind edition on the Switch and the PC version plus DLC?

Stuck on 206, can't find an answer

So I'm on the Switch 2, and I can't find any answers about the glitch with retrieving the camera from 206. I did actually get the camera, but it either didn't register as being picked up, or the game glitched because I was spotted. It still says to retrieve the camera, though, so I don't know what else I can try.

I've done a lot in other houses and neighborhoods in the hope that time might help, but it's still not working. I also feel like I have another ongoing glitch where the hints say that tenants leave particular windows open/unlocked, but they're always locked. I'm getting that glitch on 206, and it's literally impossible for me to get in without leaving evidence I was there, usually by picking the front door lock, so that gets me noticed. What do I do?
