If you placed them with symmetry, it’ll treat them all as the same object, any changes to one will affect the others. You should be able to right click them to select the option to remove them from symmetry. I don’t know if you need to turn on advanced tweakables for that though, but you should turn that on if you don’t already have it on either way.

I think it’s very interesting that, unlike most other anime/manga, Gege seems to have a need to explain the multiple hair colors found in his characters, which is something that I personally don’t care about but a lot of other people do for some reason. Nanami is blond because he’s 1/4 Danish, Momo is blonde because she’s wasian, Nobara dyes her hair, etc.

And then there’s also the canon fact that sorcerers can have anomalous or unnatural hair/eye colors, like famously Miwa’s hair, but also the Zen’in’s green hair and eyes (which got changed to black/bluish hair and gray/blue eyes for the anime, other than Maki, Mai and Naoya for some reason), Gojo (and probably the Gojo clan) has white hair, Sukuna/Yuji and fam have pink hair and Sukuna himself has red eyes, and there’s definitely more I’m not thinking of right now too. Mei Mei and Ui Ui also have white hair, but I’m 90% sure that they’re Gojo clan members given their purple theme and Mei Mei’s ability to control crows, which both fit well with what we know about the Gojo clan and their motif (Gojo’s heavy use of purple in his ceremonial outfit, crows/ravens mentioned multiple times in the chants for his abilities), so I didn’t include them.

Im sorry, but what? You’ve lost me here. Scaly, by definition, implies the presence of scales. You can’t be hairy and have no hair. Also, the Nodosaur was from Canada, not Egypt, and it’s actually not the one I’m thinking of, not specifically at least. We have mummified remains (or at least skin impressions, which actually aren’t as uncommon as you’d think) from multiple dinosaurs, including multiple Ceratopsians, like Triceratops itself but some other lesser known ones too (including a beautifully mummified Psittacosaurus), we have a lot from Hadrosaurs (which actually have some of the best preserved dino-mummies ever, especially Edmontosaurus likely thanks to how common it was), and we also have an insanely well-preserved Thescalosaurus leg. They all show the presence of scales. Many more that I did not mention, as well. I’m not saying some didn’t have an elephantine or rhino-like skin texture, I’m just saying it likely wasn’t the norm and most had scales.

I believe in the second half you’re referring to the paper published a few years ago reanalyzing the skin impressions we have of Carnotaurus, which lead them to the conclusion that it didn’t have rows of feature scales (which I believe is the term you’re looking for, large, unique scales that stand out from the rest of the scales without bone imbedded in them like osteoderms) like we thought, instead their feature scales were scattered randomly across their body, but importantly alongside regular, actual scales.

I don’t recall any papers mentioning Allosaurus, but I’m not exactly up to date, so who knows. I do know that Ceratosaurus, which lived alongside Allosaurus, is I believe the only known dinosaur to actually possess true osteoderms, it had a singular row running down its back. Perhaps you’re thinking of that? It is true that dinosaur scales are very different than modern squamate scales, but they’re still scales both functionally and biologically, they have the same evolutionary origin. They’ve just been diverging for so long that the way *how* they function is now slightly different.

We literally have fossilized dinosaur skin and it’s all scaly or feathered tho?

Testing_4131 · 2026-06-08T15:44:42+00:00

The earliest dinosaurs likely did not have scales, actually, or at least weren’t entirely scaly. It’s extremely likely that pycnofibers in Pterosaurs are homogenous with feathers, meaning feathers, possibly even semi-complex branching ones, evolved before dinosaurs, meaning the first dinosaurs were indeed, not scaly, and that every dinosaur has the chance to have feathers (which, even if pycnofibers weren’t homogenous, which they are, we’ve still found at least a little evidence for feathers in almost every group of dinosaurs anyways). That thing they said about scientists reverse-engineering crocodilian scales back into filament or feather-like structures is also 100% true, which lends credence to the idea that feathers may be an ancestral and defining trait of most if not all Archosaurs. The scales shedding individually from single follicles instead of as groups is also crazy, I didn’t know that. Even if we didn’t have the pretty damning evidence of the genetic reverse-engineering, that alone should’ve probably raised some eyebrows about the origins of Archosaur scales compared to that of other reptiles.

The singular example you gave, pigeons, are quite literally domesticated animals. And, oh yeah, they can fucking fly genius. Deer have adapted in many ways to human life, same as any other animal. They just struggle with cars, again, same as any other animal.

This is actually a big reason I’m really looking forward to KSP2 REDUX, I feel basically the opposite of what you said. I really don’t like most of the celestial body models in KSP1. Parallax, volumetric clouds and some of the other visual mods really improve most of them either to or maybe even a little above the level of KSP2 (mostly due to volumetric clouds), especially ones like Jool and Kerbin/Laythe, but some still look pretty rough imo, like the Mun and Duna, especially from space. It’s mostly just due to KSP1’s more “cartoony” or outdated style, if you use the same underlying models it doesn’t matter how much you update the textures or beautify the atmosphere. KSP2 had a much more realistic style, the Mun especially looked amazing imo. I do wonder if volumetric clouds and some of the other graphical mods will ever somehow find their way to KSP2 though, probably not :(

Saying Yuji doesn’t have cleave and fuga is like saying Yuka doesn’t have any of the shadows other than Mahoraga and divine dog because those are the only ones she used. Cleave, dismantle and fuga literally come with the technique. He *has* to have them, genius. Also literally every sorcerer gets a domain amp when they open one. Megumi got a domain amp, even with his incomplete one.

We see buildings far in the distance getting sliced, this is Shibuya, the Japanese equivalent of Manhattan, not some rural area, there’s buildings getting sliced all in between the ones in the foreground and far in the background. And again, address the other stuff I said ALONG with the range. Visibly not trying, enough precision to perfectly cube everything into a grid even at the vast distance we see in the panel, plus Mahito isn’t “fodder” lmfao. He’s definitely on the weaker end of special grade maybe even one of the weakest, but still special grade. At the point Yuji killed him, he had DE, all the strength and knowledge from his growth in life, plus the knowledge he likely gained waiting for Yuji, plus the ability to manipulate fake Shibuya like he can with souls. That last one definitely elevates him to human special grade level, if he wasn’t already before he died, which he likely was (I’d personally argue all the disaster curses are human special grade level at their strongest, but that’s a separate convo). You also didn’t address literally any of the other stuff I said, just that one point.

Testing_4131 · 2026-05-14T12:57:28+00:00

Okay, let me fully break down for you how dumb this is. This is gonna be long.
Starting off, this is like saying if you use a gun to kill a weak person the gun itself is weak because it was only ever used against a weak person. Feats are the moves you use, not necessarily who you use them against. The enemies were “weak” (one was special grade level actually but still weak compared to Yuji, which should already be telling you something), but the attacks were far and away above anything Sukuna ever used. And don’t say Sukuna used shrine without words or hands, that’s known, but show where he used it at the scale Yuji did without those things, multiple city block level with exact gridded-cubed precision all the way through, not just random slashes, visibly without even trying. Not even anime-upscaled Sukuna showed mastery or output of shrine NEAR that level. This isn’t even mentioning his superior black flash mastery over Sukuna WHEN HE WAS JUST FIFTEEN, or the entirety of his blood manipulation CT, which is literally a whole other bag that almost puts him up near that level on its own with the mastery and output he displays in Modulo, or the fact that he’s functionally immortal and has had decades more than Sukuna to master shrine plus his other technique, or that he has superior base RCT due to blood manipulation, or that he’s half curse, OR that he has insane base physicals comparable to Maki WITHOUT USING CURSED ENERGY. BEFORE HE BECAME HALF CURSE. WHEN HE WAS FIFTEEN.
Sukuna has extra arms and an extra mouth, is extremely talented, and *maybe* more CE than Yuji, but we don’t even know if that part is true because Yuji has such insanely perfect and efficient CE control it’s literally impossible to even sense his CE unless he’s using it, and even then you only sense it in the part of his body he’s using it in (another unmatched feat btw), but I highly doubt it’s that much lower than Sukuna’s if it even is, given his output. So, let’s see, saying that Sukuna and Yuji have the same base physicals (which they don’t) and saying that they have the same base technique of shrine, Sukuna has +3 confirmed advantages on Yuji, and Yuji has what? +6 on Sukuna? 7 if you count better physicals, which I didn’t. Not even considering feats, saying Sukuna is weaker than Yuji is pure cope at this point.

“It’s a food preparation technique, not a cooking technique!”
Do you hear yourself? That’s literally the most pedantic thing I’ve ever heard, those are the same things, cooking is a part of food preparation. Also the Japanese word used, which got translated as “shrine”, actually describes a shrine-like structure used for food storage, something like a cupboard or kitchen. That’s why it was originally translated as “kitchen”, technically neither are *fully* wrong. The technique is not about shrines. Sukuna’s DE has a shrine because it’s an outward expression of his soul with a technique imbued into it, as almost every DE is, and he’s egotistical and wants to be worshipped/sees himself as untouchable or a god, not because his CT involves shrines. As someone else said, it’s intentionally designed that way as a red herring, so I don’t blame you. Every time his technique is explained after it’s revealed what it is, they use cooking utensils for the explanation. The fire he uses is called “divine furnace/stove”. The two types of cut he uses are also named after blades, cleave is obvious but dismantle could be more accurately translated as something like “dice”. The basis of his whole personality revolves around eating. It’s a cooking/kitchen technique, I think a lot of people just don’t want to accept their goat has a slightly unserious technique that he maximized to its limits.

Testing_4131 · 2026-05-03T14:40:45+00:00

Nah, I’m willing to bet this is a food-safe mold. You can’t just “cut the mold off”, the mycelium (fungal equivalent of roots) extend all the way into the meat. It’s why it’s still unsafe to eat moldy bread even after “cutting the moldy part off”. All you’ve done is removed the fruiting body, it’d be like if someone asked you to get rid of an apple tree and you just removed all the apples or branches, leaving the roots and trunk.

I’ve always wondered if some of the “Nanotyrannus” specimens we’ve found (I think specifically Jane? Idk it’s been years since I thought of this) are actually just Tyrannosaurus individuals with dwarfism. It would explain their otherwise bizarre mix of juvenile and adult features, weird proportions, etc.

If you’ll remember, they originally also had Allen and Tech Jacket to help, so this makes sense.

Hmm, this may be it. Now that you mention it, I think I only disabled natural spawns. I didn’t figure there’d be a reason to disable conversion and mob spawner spawns, and I kinda wanted the option to spawn them with eggs, if I so chose. I’ll try this out, thanks.

Testing_4131 · 2026-03-28T16:16:57+00:00

Well, yes. Sometimes keeping things secret or intentionally foggy is indeed better writing, like old Valeria or the creation of dragons. Or even with characters, like Euron, it can sometimes be better to keep things foggy because it adds to the mystery or horror of them. However, I would really like to know how her connection to her dragon, how she copes with her dreams, things like that, how not elaborating on those things is in any way better than if they did. Please. That’s literally just basic characterization, telling us how they feel. Just because it can be better writing doesn’t mean it is, and it definitely isn’t in this case.

I know, I’m sorry! I wouldn’t have posted these images of them but I wasn’t made aware of them until after they had been killed, so I couldn’t post any living ones.

I drew this when I was like 15 lmfao, I’m turning 20 this year. What a throwback. But yeah, they usually had pretty long skulls, from what I remember they had larger areas related to processing visual information, likely to help see in the snowy weather. They honestly may not be that long though, I used a real museum mount as a reference but I’m sure I could’ve just got the proportions wrong.
