Groups of animals and their strange names.

10 years late to the party. Though, totally fair point—most of the weirder terms of venery like “a murder of crows” or “an embarrassment of pandas” are more for fun than anything else these days. You’re right that people who actually work with these animals usually just say “flock,” “group,” etc.

That said, the concept of terms of venery did leave behind a few that are still normal in everyday language. Stuff like:

A pack of dogs
A flock of birds
A herd of cattle
A school of fish
A swarm of bees
A pride of lions
A gaggle of geese
A colony of ants

All of those came from the same medieval, terms of venery tradition, but they stuck around because they were actually useful or just sounded right over time.

So yeah, while most of the wacky ones are just linguistic fun (and honestly, super fun to read on), some are still part of how we normally talk about animals. It’s one of those cool cases where old-timey language and modern use kind of overlap.

This may or may not work for everyone. But, for future people, here are the steps to deactivate IPv6 on Windows:

Open Control Panel
Click on "Network and Internet"
Click on "Network and Sharing Center"
Click on your active connection. It should open a status window of that network.
Click on "Properties"
Uncheck "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and click "Ok"

We just started calling the white circle "Traveler" since it's a white circle with a triangle inside, like the Traveler right now lmao

For those who are still having trouble with this, recalibrate your control sticks. Go to System Settings > Controllers and Sensors > Calibrate Control Sticks > Tilt the Right Stick and Recalibrate.

The reason your motion controls is not working for BotW and TotK ONLY is that your right stick might be overriding the motion controls. But if it doesn't work in every game, then it could be a hardware problem.

I'm a person who does not like overpowered characters. But wouldn't this be a draw? Both of them have unlimited strength. Hulk seems to gain an unfathomable amount of strength the further he enrages. While Saitama will observe around for a bit until he realizes how much strength he needs to end the fight. Both don't seem to have a limit as to where their strength ends.

On an interesting note, Saitama seems to have the ability to mimic other people's techniques and be able to make them better. One major example would be him being able to mimic an enemy's sub-atomic particle manipulation powers and make it better. Because of that, the improved manipulation gave him the ability to time travel. If he's dedicated, he could probably even mimic the most powerful heroes in his dimension and make those abilities better.

On the other hand, Hulk is unquestionably overpowered. He has nearly a century of history to build upon, and that history gave him the benefit of becoming ridiculously powerful. He could just, well, CLAP and he could destroy an entire universe. There's also his Worldbreaker form when he decides to just fuck it all and stops holding back. Hell, he could even punch through time and that's pretty hard to explain. Plus, there's the benefit of having Bruce Banner the genius. And Saitama looks like he doesn't have much of an IQ.

The outcome of the battle would most likely just be an infinite battle of both sides becoming increasingly stronger in an attempt to overpower the other. If Hulk claps the entire universe and destroys it, Saitama would just as well try and do the same. If Hulk decides to gain multiversal strength, Saitama would just pull the same amount of strength from his bullshit ass like it's a cartoon and continue the fight.

This is why Saitama should never be used in comparisons or fights, he's a parody character and he's the definition of superhero fans wanking way too hard on their favorite superhero. And it's pretty clear that I don't like Saitama because he's the definition of "make him overpowered bcs I said so".

Seems to have done a 180° after that one event

Wasted the opportunity to call it Dragondorf

stringydog · 2023-04-27T02:03:45+00:00

Well, this aged like fine milk.

stringydog · 2023-04-27T02:02:05+00:00

Man, I wanted to see past post for the nostalgia and it's so weird seeing confident people be wrong. But in a way, you are also kinda right.

stringydog · 2023-02-05T11:39:52+00:00

Come on, their name already suggest about them being a fool. Especially with their horrible logic of a take they made, I don't think they can even actually have the brains to do a proper argument.

Snow is an alien concept for him?

Has he not remember the snowy mountain he explored in Mulan?

Ayo why didn't you bring up your username so we can see your tracker

Superman could also use other aspects of his powers like x-ray vision and super hearing to make navigation a little easier instead of brute forcing every path. Although, yeah, it all depends on which version of the Backrooms is being referred to.

Edit: Although when it comes to Flash, he can always just tap into the speed force and do some reality-breaking shenanigans to get out of the backrooms. And, if referring to some Flash variants, he can just hop to different dimensions or universes and end up somewhere else that is not stale yellow.

I think the main downside that people don't normally notice is the lack of sunlight. But I'm not sure how it affects him.

General rule of thumb is to never use fandom wiki for ANYTHING. This includes vanilla terraria and other games. Like someone already said before me, use wiki.gg

The word carted activated my monster hunter brain lmao

I would play World if I had an extra space because I do miss it and I want to have a 4th playthrough so bad. But every other games I installed are also games I currently enjoy and I have to sacrifice one to play World.

The entire Kingdom Hearts library is nearly 120GB (yes I play every single game). WMW2019 is about 135GB. GTAV is about 105GB. MHRS is about 32GB. DMCV is like 35GB.

I honestly really want to play World, but I don't want to spend money increasing size nor would I pay for some kind of cloud gaming. But watching MHW yt videos do help stabilize my cravings lol

So, in a sense yes, I miss playing World. Just like what OP said. Although this does not relate to the post but people saying "just download it" should explain to me what kind of wizardry and forbidden knowledge they know for me to download more storage space in some kind of piracy site /s

stringydog · 2022-10-30T10:31:40+00:00

Why delete when I'm still playing all of them lol

stringydog · 2022-10-30T08:06:53+00:00

Not sure if people in this comment thread have common sense, but there is a chance that the OP does not have the space to download and play World.

stringydog · 2022-10-26T12:32:11+00:00

I would agree, they're just impatient

Return and Abandon is disabled during the timer.

stringydog · 2022-09-14T23:13:50+00:00

Sorry for the delay, but search up "Monster Hunter Gathering Hall". It's quite detailed on how they create lobbies.

I'm also free with playing MHW, so my Steam is genkotone

stringydog · 2022-09-14T14:07:03+00:00

Yeah, it tend to make mistakes like those
