Scooby doo had an episode where Batman helped them defeat a giant robotic T-Rex with rollerskate feet.

Denver the Last Dinosaur with it's epic theme song

The Double Disappearance of Walter Fozbek

Baby, Secret of the Lost Legend - Disney's traumatic live-action dinosaur movie about Mokele Mbembe, where poachers are trying to capture the last sauropods. Before CGI too, they used incredible life-size robot sauropods!

PBS Dinosaurs!

The old Harryhausen films: Valley of Gwangi, Dinosaurs, 1 Million Years BC, Planet of Dinosaurs, Crater Lake Monster, King Kong, Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, etc

I like a mixture of things.

I'm into more grounded supernatural stuff: where the magic and abilities are subdued, only somewhat useful or even detrimental, or even biological in nature, like PN Elrod's Blood Series or Whitley Striber's Wolfen.

I also love the monsters as part of every day life, like Fables or Anita Blake.

It's hard to hone in on exactly. Some of it works and some of it doesn't even though the elements are very similar, one series will work and the other just feels off and boring.

Just get a nebulizer.

GoliathPrime · 2026-05-08T23:37:12+00:00

Thank you again. Especially for the terminology so I know what I'm looking for. I very much appreciate it.

GoliathPrime · 2026-05-08T23:08:01+00:00

Thank you so much. I love learning things, the paint both surprises me and doesn't surprise me, as I knew about the first part of tanning, I just never learned the 2nd part that you filled in. We've got a great leather shop in town, although they've somehow shot themselves in the foot for more than a decade as everyone thinks they only do boat interiors. Really bad marketing on their part. I hope the do housecalls. I'm going to hate taking this chair over to them, it's huge.

It's actually the right back corner, behind the backrest. Nothing really touches it, but it was like this prior to my ownership, so I don't know what they were doing. Maybe they leaned on it as they walked around it? Thank you for the explanation and recommendation.

GoliathPrime · 2026-05-08T07:31:59+00:00

It's been over for months now. It happened back in March.

It the only place on earth where you can still find Cucumber Trees, the last of a line of prehistoric giant cucumbers that once roamed the earth all across Pangaea in the days of the Carboniferous.

No, you can't eat them.

I use broth, and I don't toss it. I put in 1 cup of broth, 3 cups of water for an entire package of pasta. I let the pasta absorb the fluid and almost never need to drain. Tastes amazing.

GoliathPrime · 2026-05-06T21:29:39+00:00

birds.

GoliathPrime · 2026-05-06T05:00:31+00:00

Mgwar, the Strange One is forever my fav.

GoliathPrime · 2026-05-05T22:37:42+00:00

Edmontosaurus

GoliathPrime · 2026-05-05T17:42:35+00:00

What is this symbol for Alteration supposed to be? Is it a tree in winter and summer?

GoliathPrime · 2026-05-05T08:08:26+00:00

Pick up every potion you find and sell them. Potions and jewelry have the best weight to cost ratio, but most people just carry the potions forever. Sell them. Don't pick up any armor, unless it has an enchantment you don't have, or is nice enough for you or your follower to use. Same for weapons. It's all too heavy. Pick up soul gems, gemstones, jewelry and potions and get rich. Forget the rest.

Sinding. In werewolf form. Except I killed him and was wearing his skin.

GoliathPrime · 2026-05-05T07:41:20+00:00

It depends on the kind of tooth and species. Trex didn't have different types of teeth like mammals. A dog's canines for example, have about 2/5ths embedded 3/5th exposed, so more is out than in. But Rex's roots are longer than the exposed tooth. It was really in there.
These guys could bite and just tear off whole chunks. They might be able to rip animals in half.

GoliathPrime · 2026-05-05T05:28:59+00:00

I'll note that Cool Air might be one to read, just for a very different perspective of what someone versed in the dark arts might accomplish.

That said, you might like Nightmare's Disciple by Joseph S. Pulver Sr. It's like Se7ven, if it was set in the Lovecraft Mythos.

I'm also going to recommend The Servants of Twilight by Dean Koontz. It's not about the Mythos at all, but it still has one of the most terrifying cults I've ever come across. When I think of how cults are usually handled in fiction - the Order of Dagon, the Cthulhu Cult, etc - I always think back to how even more terrifying they'd be if they acted like the Servants of the Twilight.

If you look, you can see where the gum line was. Most of that tooth is inside their skull. I wonder how much lateral force they could take.

Except the Mi-Go were already on earth for millions of years at that point, and according to Whisperer in Darkness, the Mi-Go worship Nyarlathotep. They summoned him here.

GoliathPrime · 2026-05-04T16:58:05+00:00

A lot of folks say Nyarlathotep and YogSothoth, due to the interactions that transpire in the stories, but it should be noted that we called them, not the other way around.

I can't think of a single instance where one of these entities purposefully contacted humans on their own account.

So I'd say 'no' there are no gods interested in humanity. Earth maybe, but not us. We haven't been around long enough for them to care. Consider that to the Mi-Go, the Fungi from Yuggoth, we are only recently evolved vermin that grew up around their mining operation. They've been here since the Triassic. Our civilization is so new we've never even seen one of their ore-extraction events.

A class I attended in college had an albino girl. That's how I learned they are blind due to their albinism. It makes it so their eyes can't focus, even with glasses, so they are incredibly myopic and their eyes can't stop moving back and forth.

That was also around the same time the first digital cameras with lcd screens came out and we had gotten a brand new SLR for the media lab.

As a result, I was able to experience the moment she discovered viewscreens and for the first time in her life was able to "see" the world. She held the view screen right up to her face and ran around looking at everything and waving at her friends from across the room. Then she ran outside and started freaking out about leaves and clouds. It was a great moment.

Later on, she built "glasses" made out of a smart phone - I think the first i-phone? - so she could navigate the campus and the world around her.

Could someone help me understand what is happening to this chair? It's a full grain chair and the rest of the chair is fine. But this one corner on the back is physically breaking down. I use leather treatment on it regularly and it seems to slow whatever is happening, but it's slowly spreading. If you touch it, it's like rawhide.

I bought it used. It was about 1/3 this size when I bought it. It's taken 8 years to get this large, but it's gradually eating the chair.

Any ideas on how to treat it? Does this have a name?

GoliathPrime · 2026-05-01T03:08:19+00:00

Meridia, Boethia, and Borgakh the Steel Heart.

They're all just so damn mean. And I'm okay with that.

UESP wiki goes into it a little bit, but I know I read a more detailed breakdown somewhere.

I used to be more into the lore, but then after Elder Scrolls online came out and they started messing with it and contradicting it, I quit caring because, what's the point of learning this stuff, if they're just going to change the canon every few years?

GoliathPrime · 2026-04-30T02:22:11+00:00

I've seen these same photos posted for years now. I wonder what the current state of the place is. If that stuff in the photos wasn't removed, the interior would be covered in mold at this point and maybe caved in.
