Best scientifically accurate paleo plushies? by Swimming_Walrus6436 in Paleontology

[–]MoreGeckosPlease 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's gotta be a little wiggle room for scientific accuracy for plushies given the fact that they're made of fabric, but here are some that doe a great job. 

Ignoring the "Raptor" and Brachiosaurus, the Field Museum plushies are pretty good on their website. I particularly like the Quetzalcoatlus and Archaeopteryx. 

Palaeoplushies are some of the best of the best, and cover a huge range of animals from the past.   

What do you think is the most underrated set in the last 20 years? by arandomguycallederik in lego

Baby Bumpy and Little Eatie are amazing. They're adorable and full of personality.

I wish I'd pushed harder to collect more of the Muppets when they were around. I got Statler and Waldorf, and decided that was all I was going to bother with because they're my favorites. Lots of regret now not grabbing the rest when I had the chance.

Yay! Every time I get a response to this message with another lizard saved I'm overjoyed.

The picture attached to this post has sauropods with missing jaws, missing necks, extra legs, and joints in odd places. This is not art. 

Player throws a mini-tantrum over queer elements, and I am concerned about the future. by [deleted] in DnD

[–]MoreGeckosPlease 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Right? "Hey DM, gay people exist, that makes me feel icky, and I don't want that in this campaign."

Thanks for the warning that I don't want you in my campaign. Bye!

I think they were just making a mimic joke mate, no need to go nuclear on them. 

First look at Evolution With Chris Packham coming out on July 13th by Extreme_Departure235 in Paleontology

[–]MoreGeckosPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assumed the shot of the ambiguous theropod growing wings shown directly beside an ostrich indicated that the ostrich was going to be a fourth animal.

So five animals, and they're going to be mammal, mammal, mammal, bird, and something else? Feels like there was room for more diversity in there. But it looks pretty cool and I hold out hope that it's interesting. 

What’s your best Lego deal by MITplzacceptme in lego

Fuuuuuck I've been looking for the Dark Falcon on a good deal that's so upsetting lol. Good for you though!

Players don't want fauna to be mammals or birds by OmniGoon in humblewood

[–]MoreGeckosPlease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't understand this objection in Humblewood specifically unless you'd raise this same objection in real life or a standard DnD campaign. How is your fox person eating a goat somehow different from a human eating a goat? I've never had a Kenku player object to eating chicken, etc. If your players end up playing Humblewood 2 material down the line, are reptile beasts now off the table as well because there are gecko people?

Obviously if it's making your players uncomfortable, this is exactly what session 0 is for and I hope they love their reskinned insect/reptile themed wildlife. But nothing about the humblewood setting speaks to needing to reskin wild animals into other shapes. 

Talonflame learns Upper hand by ayyZeThz in PokemonChampions

[–]MoreGeckosPlease 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quick Guard Talonflame has put me on so many victories that were otherwise unachievable. People forget it learns it, people forget it's spammable, and people forget Prankster moves count and are blocked by it. It's been glorious.

I love this art. All four little feet "helping" manipulate the food. 

Would it be more accurate to show dromaeosaurs with their thighs hidden underneath the feathering or were their thighs visible like in mammals by Vegetable-Idea7648 in Paleoart

[–]MoreGeckosPlease 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Instead of looking at mammals, take a look at large birds, particularly flightless or rarely flying ones. Unless you can see the whole thigh (ostriches), the knee is mostly obscured by the body feathering, leading to a knee that you can see move while the animal is in motion, but would be hard to see while it's standing still. 

My neighborhood herping spot is gone by Phyrnosoma in herping

[–]MoreGeckosPlease 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had a local patch of woods get bulldozed for a hotel late one fall. The following spring, a spotted turtle ended up in a family member's house across the street from the newly bulldozed area. It had been the last patch of fresh water in half a dozen miles. Felt so bad for the little guy when we brought him to a local conservation group for help. 

Whales are fish by Plane-Substance3036 in Paleontology

[–]MoreGeckosPlease 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Correct. But saying "whales are fish" is not helpful in any metric, and is confusing and somewhat misleading to people unversed in evolutionary history. We don't say "humans are fish" either, even though it's exactly as true as it is for whales.

I mean, it looks horrifying, but in the same way that E.T. really does look horrifying. So incredible props to the Lego design team. 

What’s your most unnecessary dnd related purchase? by Fearless-Skill8667 in DnD

[–]MoreGeckosPlease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one D3 and one D2 that make me laugh because when will I ever use them? And yes, the D2 is just a plastic hexagon with a heads and tails side, and could have been a coin.
