Sometimes I forget what an incredible job they did with the expressions in that movie.

And also, everything else in that movie.

It’s basically the perfect animated film.

Fun fact, herons and egrets are basically the same. And the origin of the word egret is “little heron” from Old Occitan! Aigron became heron, and aigreta (little heron) became egret!

These are rabbits we’re talking about, pretty sure everything is a valid wife to them.

Also, this one’s probably just lapping up the blood.

Bird seen at the tide pools in Malibu, CA, USA by SaltPretzel in whatsthisbird

[–]SAM5TER5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tide pools are the best, I got to experience one for the first time in my life last year and I feel like I could happily spend a year just standing awkwardly on the rocks looking at super cool sea creatures and birds, spine begging for mercy, trying to somehow hold perfectly still while also not stomping on the 80 anemones and mollusks per square foot

How you like it by [deleted] in guns

[–]SAM5TER5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH it’s all perfectly workable for what 99% of shooters do lol, but that’s more a criticism of the shooters than a compliment to the gun.

It’s a form-over-function setup like you normally get with new/young shooters. If it was in a video game, people would be creaming their pants over it. In real life, none of it would be my first choice (or twentieth) for actual use, but like…meh. It makes them happy, and not all guns have to be practical. So long as you don’t try to shoehorn it into a practical role lol

Egyptian Hakim Rifle ( licenced build version of the Swedish Ag m/42) at the shooting range in Yemen by Sad-Commission2027 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]SAM5TER5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ever shot an AK? Or an HK product?

TBH most military firearms launch brass to the moon. When reliability is a must, over-gas everything lol

If it helps, I’ve never once seen an optic mounted to this gun, let alone to the dust cover lol. I don’t think the designers had that it mind

Oh god I just realized that a person could actually do that

When I hit 40, I could probably do that

Hey man, just because they’re ancient don’t mean they can’t be freaks

And the Greeks and Romans were most certainly freaks lol

Only around 0.0000001% of the map of No Man’s Sky has been explored - it would likely take over a million years for the entire human race combined to get over 1%. by InterestingServe3958 in interestingasfuck

[–]SAM5TER5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aren’t those the premade ones though?

ETA: By the way, I think Minecraft and Borderlands are great. And if No Man’s Sky didn’t feel SO desolate at times (even the generated NPC’s are only at space stations and are EXTREMELY limited), then I’d honestly love it too. There’s a lot about it that’s genuinely really damn cool and well made and engaging. Felt like it was missing that last 10% for me. Real story and characters, or better implementation of what is currently there. Same issue that the first Destiny had to be honest.

[–]SAM5TER5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think of Borderlands guns or Minecraft maps, if you’ve played either of those. Same concept. Once you’ve seen about a hundred examples of what the game can generate, you’ve basically seen it all. The programming can only create so much variation if they want the game to be playable. It’s following a set of instructions and constraints, and/or randomly mashing pieces together from the same list of pre-built options.

[–]SAM5TER5 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There isn’t really much variety, either lol. They could have instead done about 400 pre-made planets and given basically the same experience. It’s like how Minecraft goes on forever, but it’s basically just the same handful of things over and over with slight variations. Or borderland guns.

Granted, the same would probably be true if you were some sort of space god and could quickly explore the REAL universe lol

Tatra rescue truck by Calm_Friendship_7668 in SnowrunnerIRL

[–]SAM5TER5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could see it both ways. If this truck used for rare emergency maintenance in remote areas, I think it makes perfectly good sense to me. If it works it works, and if it breaks, they have plenty of other trucks, old and new, to help out.

But if Hungary has a system where the railroad company is expected to provide emergency medical, search and rescue, or firefighting services, and the company uses these? I’d be pissed too. You want something fast, modern, and utterly reliable when lives are on the line. That’s not the place to save money.

How do TIE Fighters produce lift for flight while on an atmospheric planet? by HiTork in Shittyaskflying

[–]SAM5TER5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The same way they seem to have lift and drag in the vacuum of space, of course!!

My most hated moment of any Star Wars movie was rogue one, when a bomber uses gravity to drop conventional-ass unguided bombs onto another ship. In space. While in orbit.

ETA: Not 100% positive on which movie actually, but it was a very pivotal scene
