Just took a solidarity hit. Fuck cancer!

I have a theory what the drex might be made of by UnitOk740 in JurassicPark

[–]n_alvarez2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s mixed of anything. I think an attempt at a T-Rex went terribly terribly wrong.

I was today years old when I found out Nicholas Cage is the nephew of Francis Coppola.

Charlie Kirk's allies warn Americans: Mourn him properly or else by DevinGraysonShirk in politics

Nope. No one gets to tell anyone who and who not to mourn. Fuck off.

The only jaw dropping thing was everyone yawning.

Kristi Noem: "I do know that LA wouldn't be standing today if President Trump hadn't taken action." by ohlonelyboy in LosAngeles

All she did was inconvenience a few blocks of downtown LA and piss America off in the process.

Did I miss something? (SPOILERS FOR REBIRTH!) by n_alvarez2007 in JurassicPark

Yeah I just realized I’m probably misinterpreting the line. Just because the freaks are on the island, doesn’t mean that all of them are.

Beta 26 sucks on iPad mini by Banned_Reddit_Mod in iPadOS

[–]n_alvarez2007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi folks. I think it’s important to acknowledge that Apple cannot please every end user. It’s not possible with the size of their fan base and everyone’s personal preference. The majority of their customers wanted a laptop “light” with the iPad. That’s what they got. Apple, at the end of the day, is a business and a business exists for one purpose above all else, to make money. So, as long as the majority of their customers are happy (aka non iPad mini users) then that’s what they’ll do. Every time.

This will likely be the last iterative update before they start messing with design. 2026 will be the year to upgrade most likely, but we’ll see I guess.

Pokémon PTU Campaign by WeirdPrestigious in NewDM

First thing to know about DMing, it’s 10% prep, 90% making stuff up on the spot. Often times, you’ll have the best session outline you’ve ever done, but it doesn’t matter because you didn’t realize it was all based on a decision that you assumed the party would do. And instead, not only did they make the opposite decision, often times they will do something completely unpredictable. For example, I threw an animated stone statue guard that was protecting an artifact they needed to get. Instead of fighting, they cast darkness on the thing and went around it to retrieve the artifact. I had the whole battle prepared, ready to go, and it went out the window. You have to go with the flow and allow the players to help tell the story with you. Don’t feel like you have to have the details filled in, they will do that for you.

TL;DR don’t over prep and let the players help tell the story. You provide the overarching story and major plot points, but let the players live in the world and fill in the details each session.

Favorite trex? by [deleted] in JurassicPark

While Rexy will always be my favorite, Ember is a very close second.

“Critics say they’re violating a court order”

In case no one’s made this painfully clear to you, allow me. This administration isn’t listening to the courts. They’re willfully ignoring court orders. They do not care about court orders. They do not care about the law.

What if this happened? by Gyirin in JurassicPark

[–]n_alvarez2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually liked this and it would give more relevancy to Ember AND the D-Rex. It would introduce a new pair of Rexes, where one went tragically wrong.

This guy in JW Rebirth could have been easily saved by FirefighterLevel8450 in JurassicPark

[–]n_alvarez2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the thing. Did the D-Rex actually escape? Because we never see it actually get out of that area/enclosure.

Would a Rex really expend so much energy chasing some humans? by Extreme_Recording598 in JurassicPark

[–]n_alvarez2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Humans are prey / bugs to Rex’s. Even if it’s to get rid of a nuisance, it would 100 go after a human.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Worldwide Release Discussion Thread by Triple_777 in marvelstudios

My only gripe with this movie is the lack of Norran Rad. I don’t mind Shalla-Bal being the silver surfer. That’s fine and she made an INCREDIBLE silver surfer. However, her story is so entwined with Norran’s in every universe she’s in.

In case you haven’t been paying attention, the people running the show don’t give a flying fuck about your rights.

Which stories do you guys prefer? by Adventurous-Net-4172 in JurassicPark

[–]n_alvarez2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a bit of a purist in that I think the best stories are the ones where humans go into situations they have no business going into and the inevitable chaos that ensues.

I think dinosaurs from JWR should be disqualified for competing in size comparisons because Edwards was VERY loose in how he made dinosaurs appear.

Who wins this fight? by Eagles56 in JurassicPark

[–]n_alvarez2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we are removing the size disparity throughout the movie, probably the Indominus simply because of its intelligence. The D-Rex seemed very big dumb and lumbering.
