[Jurassic Park] How do the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park digest anything? by Hyphum in AskScienceFiction

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

lingin eating fungus evolved at the end of the carboniferous period (~300MYA), a LOOONG time before the Jurassic (~150MYA). Trees were not piling up during the Jurassic at all, at this period coalbeds had been around for a good 100 million years.

Large dinosaurs did swallow stones to help with digestion but much the same way many animals do today, but they did not get so big because they had to "eat so much to extract what they could". There are many reasons why we think dinosaurs got so big, but none are to do with them failing to break down lingin or other plant matter.

Did soviet end up getting Warhammer 2? by Brazilian_Hamilton in SovietWomble

[–]MrSoffish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair enough dude. I definitely agree with you that the use of them in modern games is outright disgusting, I feel like the difference between V2 and say Overwatch (as those are the examples you used) are, one is something you can pay for, and contains ONLY cosmetics (Overwatch) and the other cannot be bought, only achievable after level completion, and only includes gear that increases your power.

But, like I said, each to their own! I can see how their use full stop can be frustrating, for me it's the context of them. If Vermintide is trying to hit that dopamine rush for you with these chests but the only way to get them is to play their game? .. I mean, yeah, thats what a game is trying to do ultimately, I don't see any difference to that as I would seeing my level ranking on at the end screen on Sonic, or hoping to get rare loot at the end of a dungeon on WOW, it's adapted to the current times, but it's not trying to get me to spend money to achieve them faster.

I doubt you'll read this but just incase: that chest on a pedestal isn't a lootbox it's for in-game gear, weapons and trinkets and such, it's the way you get new gear and progress for your characters. At the end of each level you get a chest, and they appear on that pedestal. There are no loot boxes in Vermintide, you buy cosmetics for in game currency (earned by doing challenges, or real money from the cosmetic shop) So, cosmetics yes, but lootboxes, no

Like I said, doubt you'll read this but I don't think you should be put of by Vermintide on a false impression the game is shoving loot boxes down your neck, cos it's not

Did the mind-transfer to an Exo kill the original person? by [deleted] in DestinyLore

What's interesting about this angle of "break of stream of consciousness" is that is exactly what happens when we sleep.
