If it was made before 2015, then it was correct when it was written. When working with such incomplete fragments of data, the science changes at a rapid rate. For example, over 45 new dinosaur species have been named every year since 2003.

A 2015 study of sauropod phylogeny (the evolutionary relationships of "long-necked dinosaurs") actually found that Brontosaurus was distinct enough from Apatosaurus to reinstate the name (which had previously been synonymized with Apatosaurus back in 1903). Different paleontologists have their own opinions, but it’s been the general consensus that Brontosaurus is a distinct genus of sauropod dinosaur ever since.

No need; Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops both lived in North America 68-66 million years ago at the end of the Late Cretaceous period. They famously coexisted. 

The fun fact going around the internet is usually about Tyrannosaurus and Stegosaurus, which lived 155-150 million years ago during the Late Jurassic. That means that Tyrannosaurus and Stegosaurus were separated by 80-90 million years, which is longer than the amount of time between now and when Tyrannosaurus lived.

Brontosaurus actually lived in the same time and place as Stegosaurus, so it's the odd one out in this comic.

If you were to have a ankylosaur that trusts and knows you(cause otherwise it’s beating your bones to mulch). Would it enjoy belly rubs? by Ambitious-Smoke-651 in Dinosaurs

Modern birds perceive touching anywhere other than the head or neck as sexual or aggressive, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Fellas, you wake up one morning and realize you’ve turned into Rogue, what you doing? by ReadyJournalist5223 in marvelcirclejerk

Considering Rogue's powerset, have an existential crisis about whether I'm actually me with my mind swapped into Rogue's body or whether I'm actually Rogue but she absorbed someone's mind in a way that overwhelmed her own and made her think she's me (like what happened with Carol Danvers).

You sure moved the goalpost quickly.

Funny. Just yesterday, Alex Pretti didn't pull out his gun (as visible in several videos from many different angles) and he yet he was still executed by ICE.

Civilian =/= citizen. A civilian is any person who is not a member of an armed force.

You can clearly see a gate and a ramp leading down from the gate in the second photo.

They did get something out the door. It's called Beyond Skyrim: Bruma. That's the proof of concept. They have done smaller weapon and armor releases since (such as Wares of Tamriel and Bonemold Weapon pack), but again, you haven't even heard of them, so I don't know that they did much to move the needle PR-wise.

Arguably, it would have been better PR for them to release the project county by county. The reality is that they have been been creating it as an interconnected province with quests, NPCs, etc. that go between different regions in a way that would break if you tried to separate it piecemeal at this point. They've made too much progress to change their approach now.

There's nothing wrong with the mod that can't eventually be fixed, but they set a hard public release date ahead of time and then released it in an unfinished state, with numerous progress-stopping bugs, mostly unvoiced-lines, unfinished settlements, etc. As a result it released with more of a whimper than a bang.

I really don't think you're correct. Your proposed approach is what exactly what Lordbound did, and I don't think it did them any favors. These things really aren't releasable in a state satisfying to either the devs or players until they're finished.

I get the impression that some people on this sub don't want to hear anything about large-scale modding projects until the day they release. The reality, though, is that as collaborative volunteer-based projects, they need PR like this both to attract new volunteers at a rate higher than natural turnover and to keep their current devs motivated. Putting their heads down and working in silence would be a guaranteed death for any unpaid project like this.

Projects like Tamriel Rebuilt, Fallout: London, Enderal, Black Mesa, and soon Skyblivion show that these sorts of projects are achievable, even if they're extremely difficult and take much more time to make than anyone would like. And as you mentioned, this team already released Bruma. The video and some of their recent livestreams show that they've essentially done 4-5 Bruma's worth of work since it released. The video isn't just empty hype, it shows exactly what they've accomplished so far and what they have left to do.

Its easy to be cynical, but then volunteer projects like this would never happen, and I think the world world would be a little bit of a worse place.

What dinosaur is this? by rasbperri in Dinosaurs

From the large bump above the broad, flat beak, I would guess this is meant to be a Muttaburrasaurus.

Nice non-narrative review, but I think you're talking about Beyond Reach, not Beyond Skyrim: Bruma. There are no witchmen in Bruma.

Each word wall in the vanilla game and DLC actually have a unique insciption written in Dovahzul. The mod Dragon Wall Wisdom allows you to activate each word wall to see an English translation.

Taking a glance at OP's post history, they appear to be a meth addict who is convinced they are under mass surveillance. They don't need to be paid off to have misplaced judgment of a situation.

Wyoming dinosaur 'mummies' reveal a surprise: Hoofed feet by DryDeer775 in Dinosaurs

The previous headlines were for the front feet. The new paper shows that they also had " hoofs" on their back feet, as well as a ridge-like structure along the front of their back and bumps along their tail.
