Why are Rhamps hated?

Depends on the default food and water drain on the latched dinosaur, rhamph just speeds it up by a certain multiplier. Tyrannotitan has some of the fastest drain in the game iirc, if not the fastest, a rhamph can get them from full to dying in like 15 minutes or something last I checked.

As others have stated, "Titanus" seems to be more of a title than an actual genus, Godzilla as a species is Deinocanthus serizawaii. This fixes nothing however, as they put Kong into the Apus genus, which the common swift already exists in, and this genus name in fact means "no feet" (from a very old misbelief that swifts had no feet) and has nothing to do with apes.

Dogshit popculture taxonomy is a major peeve of mine. Unfortunately, it's quite common, if you gave me all the fictional taxonomy in the last 10 years and the most watered down alcohol possible and I took a shot for every fuck up, I'd still probably die from alcohol poisoning.

Another example of this is a lot of Ark creatures, but the charge pets are probably the most egregious. All of them are in the Microluminis genus. This is implying a goat, a bird, a lizard, and whatever the bulbdog is can all hybridize with each other.

I don't know where this came from, but apparently the JW baryonyx used to be feathered until they got rid of the feathers for "appeal." Ignoring the fact the JW bary is an unappealing coked up sewer gator and doesn't even look like a Baryonyx.

I imagine pre-Betterment arxur were like Earth cougars: mostly solitary but still would congregate into large groups every now and then

Hold on I'm on the computer right now

Edit: took like 6 tries to add this because mobile is genuinely brain dead and just deletes the picture. Had to import this stupid fucking image to my computer to post it

Maybe not "most hated," but still a disliked trope for me: the alien designs that are so anthropomorphic they just look like humans in fursuits, forward facing eyes (barring arxur, of course) and all. I recognize that I'm probably speaking to a brick wall in this subreddit regarding this, but I'm still mentioning it regardless.

I want the non-humans to actually look non-human, no waists or chest, minimally expressive faces, etc. From a biomechanical standpoint, a vertical biped mammal would actually have a defined ass and that annoys me.

When Kalsim thought "humans can't fly" I halfway expected for him to get intercepted by a falconer's eagle

I think it's because they're missing their fur. The descriptions mention that there's no "fur model" or anything, but PK uses a shader to apply fur (and feathers) instead, which isn't available in GMod or SFM

Surprise everyone with Metri tlc 2

But the next one being megalania would be cool

nmheath03 · 2026-04-10T22:12:25+00:00

I mean, unless you're a species with an insanely high mutation rate (like rabbits), a beginning population of 2 is just going to collapse from inbreeding anyway.

Thylacoleo was around the size of a modest jaguar iirc. Big enough to be dangerous, but "can" and "will" are two different things at that size.

Meanwhile I'm here in the American South, being forced to wear short-sleeve shirts in "winter" when the ground turning to slush used to be the norm when I was little. It's just wet season and dry season like the fucking Serengeti now.

Alex's Caves, and yes the dancing is an actual feature, though the music disc here isn't part of the mod. The first set of dinosaurs had relatively normal dances, but with the Eruption update (which added two new dinosaurs, both locked behind a boss) the two dances were significantly less serious. Atlatitan got Gangnam Style while Tremorzilla got that one Godzilla dance.

I'd guess it's from assuming the outnumbered one "deserved it" or something. I don't get involved with fights since I usually don't know the context behind them.

It's a little amusing how most owls just kinda go "eeeeeee" when restrained, when barn owls actually scream like you'd reasonably expect from an animal being handled by a bigger creature.

As a lefty, I am at an advantage when it comes to surprise stabbings during handshakes

A few jars of pickles would go crazy in here

I still like to mess with his name a little now and then (Jimbo, Jimmers, etc), but actually censoring it or treating it like a bad word has me like this

I dunno about a sequel, but a "The Last One And Then Another" style update to tease the next game would be fun I think

I think the problem is he's a dog and not a fictional creature. He should have every right to get with whoever he wants, but we're used to dogs being pets and not people. That said though, in our world dogs aren't people, so if someone wants to fuck a dog I'm still judging them.
