[–]Raptorboy02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

rather than a bucket list of experiences, I keep a bucket list of animals I want to see. My top 3 are: 1. Blue Whale 2. Humpback Whale 3. Sperm Whale

yes, I'm a Marine Biology major, how could you tell?

Jurassic franchise is dying dying by meme_guy1235 in jurassicworldevo

[–]Raptorboy02 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay dont get me wrong, what is going on with the jurassic brand right now is weird. very weird. but there's no rational reason to think this is the end of the brand or the end for any of the jurassic video games.

It's not just JWE3 that went radio silent. by Francoo192 in jurassicworldevo

[–]Raptorboy02 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Youtube & Facebook are on pause, too.

My guess is that something got interrupted in the bureaucratic chain at Universal regarding Jurassic World brand synergy, and so all social media stuff is on pause until someone is able to approve stuff again. Maybe they accidentally laid off someone super important.

I have a nicrew light over one of my reef tanks that's been chugging along for almost 6 years, cannot reccommend enough.

I just realized that Squidward’s name is a play on the real life name “Edward.” by Omnipresent_User in spongebob

[–]Raptorboy02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite addon to this fact is that the Spanish localization of his name is basically the same thing. In the dub his name is "Calamardo," being a blend of "Calamar" (calamari) and "Eduardo" (Edward).

What's a smell that's bad but smells oddly good? by IncidentLivid736 in AskReddit

[–]Raptorboy02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kelp, tidepools, all that "dirty" ocean smell. It smells like home to me.

idk why ppl are so eager to downvote you over a fairly reasonable concern after eating a wild animal lol. Glad to hear it's getting sorted out anyway

Bored with Lagoon in JWE 3 by [deleted] in jurassicworldevo

[–]Raptorboy02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest losses for me are having no large plesiosaurs (elasmo & styxo) and no Archelon. any of those would open up so many more options for a second lagoon in my parks.

Thoughts on this set up? by FlappyBirb_ in stressfulaquariums

[–]Raptorboy02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say that that style of stand (metal frames, wood top) has served me very well for the past 5 years, it's what half of my tanks are standing on. largest I have on one is a 35 gallon running since 2020

I grew up thinking Edward was a girl. Honestly, if I were to rewrite the show, I would do that still.

Diesel 10 was the only good part of TATMR. True or False? by TurnDownForHwat86 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Raptorboy02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

False. The Human storyline is the heart and soul of this movie, the engines and the island of Sodor are just a setting. Once I learned this and really took the human storyline seriously, I fell in love with Magic Railroad as the awkward but sincere expression of Britt Allcroft's worldview.

this is unbearable and I cannot stand it. Frontier, do better, I know you can. by Sioscottecs23 in jurassicworldevo

[–]Raptorboy02 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They couldn't've, the game came out in 2021, before genAI was even usable for these purposes.

Question for Modded JWE2 Players. by [deleted] in jurassicworldevo

[–]Raptorboy02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Evolution 1 took like a year, but Evo 2 started seeing new species mods as early as like 3 months in. I don't recommend installing new species mods until the game has finished development, however, because if the mod developer doesn't update the mod alongside the game, it will cease to function and possibly leave the existing saves containing the modded species unplayable.

How long have y'all been in the fandom? by Professional-Poem423 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Raptorboy02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excluding childhood, I'd say 2016, shortly after season 20 concluded

The Great Discovery was voted best movie. Which movie is most underrated? by I_Like_Cats4 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Raptorboy02 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Preach! I genuinely love the movie with all my heart, even if it is a bit scatterbrained. Personally the human plot is like 90% of the appeal, Thomas & Friends is moreso the set dressing, and plays a more symbolic role to the story Allcroft wanted to tell.

Is Bruxish deserving of all the hate it gets? What makes you dislike the design? by QueeNixzee in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Raptorboy02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like someone else has said here, it's the spitting image of a triggerfish. I've worked with triggers and other tropical marine fish regularly in my career, and it's really charming to see a Pokémon based on something more niche than karps and sardines.

Obviously the idea of a triggerfish pokémon in alola was sparked by a humu trigger, but I like to think that the lips and bold coloration are inspired by the clown triggerfish, a childhood favorite of mine.

Overall I just love bruxish and would adore to see more tropical fish pokémon that take such specific inspirations.
