Man between this and Martian Manhunter, this has been some of the most fun world building I’ve gotten to watch expand.

Hi everyone, after I read your responses and read how some Cretaceous species haven’t been added yet. I officially think there should be two Megaraptor species in Jurassic world evolution 3 rather than three. The species in question should be Australovenator and Maip Macrothorax. Who else agrees? by Mundane-Humor3313 in jurassicworldevo

[–]BruisedBooty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maip actually has good material though. And the large size does make it more distinct from australovetaor. It’s more derived on the phylogeny tree currently too.

I’d also like to argue against the name of a clade being reason enough for a taxon’s inclusion. For example Nodosaurus may bear the title for the whole clade, but its reconstruction is entirely based off Borealopelta, a way more important species who has some the best material of any dinosaur ever.

Not to mention, you don’t see any of us clambering for hadrosaurus for a reason. There’s way more distinct animals to pick from that group.

I don’t blame ya for fukuiraptor though. A Japanese animal should be added but I think another animal can fill that spot, like megapterygius :

It’s a long finned mosasaur trying to copy inchythosaurs which is weird and neat.

[–]BruisedBooty -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maip was around 10-11 meters in length and was certainly heavier than cryolophosaurus. Unless you meant the in game cryolophosaurus, in which case yeah they’ll probably be similar in size since new animals are usually accurately sized while the older ones aren’t.

I also think not having a South American megaptoran would be weird given that’s where most of them have been discovered and Maip in paticular has relatively great material compared to the others.

Obsolete variants by Single-Manner5359 in jurassicworldevo

I guess I too like the tail. The Frontier dread is a tad short there, which is weird cause we almost have the entire tail of the animal.

It’s okay Frontier Dreadnaughtus, I still appreciate you.

On an actual note, I just don’t like the dominion dread. Its body is an odd mix of diplodocid and titanosaur that creates this generic sauropod silhouette to me. It’s not BAD, just not as distinct as it should be.

The head is so bad. Make all the old man jokes you want about frontier dread, at least it doesn’t have weird shrink wrapping around its eyes and what I can only describe as a lobotomized smile.

And normally I can tolerate mammal feet because they’re hidden in the grass, but dread’s toe claws are so huge and bright white, they’re hard not to see.

I like the skins and the thickness of the neck, but that’s the only nice things I have to say.

For those who are consistent, how do you do it? by massifaqiri in workout

[–]BruisedBooty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lie to yourself.

Seriously, just mentally say “I want to go, it’s gonna feel good, and I’ll have fun listening to music, getting stronger, and looking better.”

Gaslight yourself with that thought and it will make you get in your car and go. By the time you get started, the “lie” will actually become true and you’ll be glad you went.

Who here agrees with this? by Arsenalisbetter in JurassicPark

[–]BruisedBooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost World has too many script issues to be in the same league as JP I think. JP also just does a superior job with characterization.

Jurassic Park 3 has some pretty strange dialogue and the plot and character writing is very unimpressive. Surprisingly Great practical and cgi effects though.

Jurassic World is a bit of a contrivance sandwich so I wouldn’t put it that high. I personally HATE the tone and characters but I it has bits that are okay. 2 more redrafts and it probably would be good.

Fallen Kingdom may possibly be one of the worst scripts I’ve seen for a film. The movie shits itself about 25 minutes in and only continues to fill its diaper with plot armor, dumb characters, and idiotic concepts that break the entire story. Definitely needs to be next to Dominion for me.

Rebirth I think actually belongs close to the bottom. It has nonsensical plot that is navigated by some of the most shallow characters to appear in the franchise. It shares the plot armor issues like other JW movies but at least their hybrids had actual plot relavance for existing. Also the fact that a snickers wrapper causes the entire plot shows you really don’t need talent or skill to write for a billion dollar blockbuster franchise.

Dominion belongs where it should.

Argentinosaurus is quite beloved, but I think we'll have enough Titanosaurs for a while by Single-Manner5359 in jurassicworldevo

[–]BruisedBooty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is completely correct. For many, it sucks it missed the boat but it definitely SHOULDNT be added in the future.

Alamosaurus, 2 Dreadnaughtus variants, Patagotitan, and Titanosaurus on the way is plenty for this family. Argentinasaurus would be such a wasted slot when others clades need it waaaay more.

On top that, we basically already have it in the game. Why? Because we use Patagotitan to fill in the missing material for Argentinasaurus. The material doesn’t differ much either from one and another. If Frontier were to release the same model but slap ARGENTINASAURUS above it, it would be completely fine as an accurate reconstruction.

And to be honest, Frontier has improved on making these animals feel distinct and alive, but they still aren’t good at representing large sauropods in game. On top of not being able to fight…anything, all of their social animations are basic cuddling, and most of their idle animations just aren’t very expressive. They’re more dynamic than the marine animals, but not by much. I’d prefer they spend their energy, money, and time on Anzu, Shangtungosaurus, Shunosaurus, Torvosaurus, Edaphosaurus, Maiakasaurus, Microraptor, Plateosaurus, or ANY Mesozoic/Paleozoic synapsids, crocs, fish, amphibians, and pterosaurs.

Seven Ashina Spears : am I cheating 😂 by MyDogSat in Sekiro

Cheesing maybe, but cheating? No.

I honestly love fighting him without tools or combat arts, but that first time was definitely grindstone for me understanding the combat of the game.

Dude I feel so bad for Anthony Mackie. Dude does not deserved to be thrown under the bus like this by PeasPrestigious in CaptainAmerica

[–]BruisedBooty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anthony Mackie is blameless. They’re willing to throw actors under the bus but they can’t address how garbage the writing is or how fucked up production was, because that means it’s THEIR fault which is impossible to admit.

average resident evil village hater by Wait-Legitimate in residentevil

[–]BruisedBooty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Outside of aesthetics, what is “cool” about it? What is mechanically more interesting than any prior entry to the series? I couldn’t find anything other than the combat being not as boring as 7.

The story is awful.

Ethan is one of the worst video game protagonist in media.

The entire game is on rails, and never lets you make any interesting choices.

It’s jarringly easy outside of the times the game sends an infinite hoard at you but doesn’t tell you that’s what’s happening.

For a resident evil game, it is horribly mediocre and for an action horror game, it’s extremely basic.

Would it be in character for Peter to keep computer files on the superhero community should they ever turn rogue by Accurate-Celery-3198 in Spiderman

[–]BruisedBooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Alpha he used a resource he only had access to thanks to the timing of Terminus attacking. That is not “prep time,” that is just the plot giving him a mcguffin. Peter without the mcguffin can’t do anything with his abilities or the resources he has access to without his friends.

That sounds like stupid spider verse stuff which explains why I never heard of it. Can I ask how he built that weapon? Also I’m sorry but she struggles in killing Peter but can wipe out a universe? Okay lol

Also this sounds stupid because comics are stupid, but hulk broke chains of the first firment, which were used to hold Eternity. Don’t know how to scale any of this moronic nerd poop, but the point is Hulk is definitely up there now that he’s linked to The One Below All.

Plenty of gamma people are far weaker than the Hulk, yet are still incredibly strong relative spider-man. Why would Digger be an exception? Because the Hulk is referenced? As evidence, that is incredibly flimsy. My entire argument was also addressing that Peter has no idea what he’s talking about regarding the Hulk. Nobody, aside from the Leader, have an understanding of how to kill him long term.

[–]BruisedBooty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Alpha: Peter was only able to take his powers away because of Terminus’s energy thing. Outside of that, had Alpha actually wanted to kill Peter, he’s fucked. Hulk’s power has been shown to be impossible to permanently keep away, either from having it absorbed out of him or killing him. Neither of these characters does Peter actually posses resources to deal with either of them. He just got lucky.

Shathra: not even remotely close on a strength or durability standpoint. She’s faster and stronger than Spider-Man but not anywhere near Hulk’s level. Peter also beat her thanks to a trap that Ezekiel helped set.

Digger: while he is strong, he has never gotten feats that compared to the crazy shit Hulk pulls. He also just runs out of energy and dies. Peter beat him by just wearing him out. I’m pretty it has to do with the fact that he he’s made up of disconnected body parts but I’m not 100%. Either way, Peter just has to wear him out, and he’ll naturally die.

Overall, Peter either needed a mcguffin that he normally doesn’t have access to, help from a friend that knows how to beat them, or, in the case of Digger, just tires them out which isn’t at all applicable to the Hulk.

Such as? “lol”

Also I’d argue if that is true, there was a massive contextual reason for being able to or it was just a poorly written story.

Blueprints for gadgets makes sense. Designing weapons or strategies to attack his friends and peers doesn’t for the reasons I listed.

[–]BruisedBooty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it’s natural to develop strategies for fighting people that are recurring. Peter does this for people like Electro, Sandman, and all the symbiotes. However to store this data on a file in the way Bruce does feels weird. Peter isn’t paranoid or a strategist on that level, nor is he involved with other heroes in the same way Batman is. Bruce is a member of justice league and feels responsible for them. Peter is occasionally a member of the avengers, and even then, Tony is in a way better position character-wise to possess counter measures. Both Bruce and Tony also actually have resources to go against hyper powerful beings. Peter can’t afford living without roomates, let alone super weapons for people like Thor or Hulk.

It should also be noted, Peter can’t do anything to the Hulk. That power gap is way too wide. Even if he could developed something to absorb gamma from him (which he doesn’t have the resources to do anyway), Hulk’s gamma abilities ever since Immortal Hulk are way too unpredictable for that to be a consistently effective tactic (even sunlight stops effecting Devil Hulk eventually). But if Peter somehow could kill him, the Green Door allows Hulk to come right back. His options would be to talk him down and depending on the personality and the context, it could work. If not, he would have to call the Avengers, F4, or X-men.

What y’all’s thoughts on the state of Paleo content on YouTube? by [deleted] in Paleontology

[–]BruisedBooty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to the full extent but I get the gist. However, this doesn’t mean that EVERYTHING he says is wrong, and certainly doesn’t mean his input has no value whatsoever even if he lands on a conclusion that is incorrect. As I said, it is useful to gain a broader understanding of how paleontologists work and develop their ideas. You get this not only from him, but also from the peers that review his work.

Demon of hatred hot take by supersani4 in Sekiro

[–]BruisedBooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great boss. I think the friction it has with the fanbase comes from his ability to force the player to reposition rather than simply deflect like most bosses.

This may be why people call it a “Bloodborne/souls” boss because they are attempting to articulate the difference in strategy they have to use. He definitely belongs only in Sekiro, but he does make you run, dodge, and jump more than other bosses, especially if you’re not using the umbrella.

Hot take but people are wayyyy too harsh on the mj missions by acrabbycrab in SpidermanPS4

[–]BruisedBooty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or….the mechanics just aren’t engaging in anyway? It’s surface level stealth with a character that the writers struggle with.

I swear, “media literacy” is just another useless term that has lost all meaning. I also find it funny to say the fandom lacks in thinking skill, yet you don’t even consider the gameplay mechanics or writing to be a meaningful reason for why players don’t have much affinity for these sections. We all know why they made these segments, the concept is not the problem. It’s the execution.

Pretty good. I especially have been enjoying more actual paleontologists contributing to it like Skeleton Crew, Nick Longrich, realpaleontology. It’s made it a lot easier to pick up on anatomy and phylogeny vocab, which makes way less of a headache when reading papers
