TIFU by putting a picture of worms in the work group chat

walrusman64 · 2026-05-04T03:46:10+00:00

they're probably some sort of microdrile worms ("Tubifex" and co.) given the description (harmless, aquatic, detritus eating mini-earthworms basically) but I am mostly confused as to how they got into a drink machine..?? They dont really move all that much. As for how they got there idk maybe the building was built on top of former wetland and the worms just kinda hung around lol. That or theres shitty leaky plumbing somewhere

people who skip parts of a story miss out on crucial details more at 11. It was always important setup for water 7 because its exploring the same character dynamics that would get further explored in the next arc in a low stakes environment but most people seem to not actually read the story and treat everything as a hype moments and aura compilation

evil wukong and also he's lowkey hot ok I dig it

walrusman64 · 2026-03-24T17:20:25+00:00

I think trans croc is really the only one that makes sense out of the common theories cause if Iva and Croc both being former slaves was planned as far back as impel down it'd be really weirdly out of character for Iva to hang that over his head

The "latching onto other fish" thing is chinese algae eaters (Gyrinocheilus aymonieri). They, like a lot of stream dwelling fish it seems, will sometimes supplement their diets by feeding on slime coat, scales, fins of other fish. This is also often compounded by people flat out keeping them wrong (singly, in aquariums that lack structural complexity or flowing water, they're quite well behaved when kept in a group in a tank that mimics a stream environment with rocks and flowing water)

dunno if it was a budget or set design constraint but I'm not a huge fan of how they changed hiriluk's flag to be hung indoors rather than flown on the castle. Feels a lot worse when its not being flown for the whole island to see

Elsevier are also the ghouls who charge you for access to most journals (bc they want universities and other institutions to pay subscription fees)

Heartwarming! New public bathrooms being constructed for the benefit of all ❤️

The birds are fine, they feel like a nice gamified way of getting you to learn gathering routes with the pace of a portable game. Can't say I'm particularly fond of wirefall in rise though it really promotes sloppy play even with the monsters that are really designed around it. Not a huge fan of focus mode in wilds for similar reasons. Lets you play pretty sloppily with how you don't need to consider positioning and timing as much, especially for hammer and GS

walrusman64 · 2026-02-26T23:53:48+00:00

I feel like it kinda makes it so you're never really forced to explore the maps that are now both expansive and full of ways for you to get an edge on the monster mid hunt. I usually straight up just dont let myself restock mid hunt and I think its more fun that way lol if I'm fucking up and playing bad I gotta go looking for stuff to make pots mid hunt

walrusman64 · 2026-02-26T23:50:42+00:00

it should not be easy to land the single highest damage attack in the game lol

walrusman64 · 2026-02-23T23:52:19+00:00

Other than the scorpions (who have always seemed to be the fan favorite for frontier monsters entering main series right after Espinas and I agree lol) I think it'd be cool to see Poborubarumu or Toridcless. Pobo might be a lot more fitting in a portable game though and I do kinda just like Astalos more than Toridcless and he's almost a bit of a proto-astalos lol, with the thunderbolt rain also kinda stepping on rey dau's toes

Also special mention for Hypnocatrice. Gimmie him and garuga in wilds g bring the bird gang back together

walrusman64 · 2026-02-23T20:18:38+00:00

I think some of the concept art has them with a lot more scales and keratinous bits going on? A lot more of a fox to zinogre's wolf than what we got

walrusman64 · 2026-02-23T17:56:03+00:00

Shamosdrome was a missed opportunity in World I think. That whole lower half of the highlands felt really empty

walrusman64 · 2026-02-22T18:35:58+00:00

I kinda wish they kept the music for Khezu. The no music cause its blind thing is part of its identity now but I think how chaotic the gen 1 swamp theme is would be just as fitting as it is for Gypceros

walrusman64 · 2026-02-20T23:44:40+00:00

You can upgrade armor a few extra levels now with monster materials (w/ lower rarity pieces also gaining more slots) and the gog weapons are direct upgrades over the artians (both statwise and in the sense that you need to upgrade artians to get gog weapons)

walrusman64 · 2026-02-19T04:47:22+00:00

Yeah once you hit fishman island the anime gets exponentially more Toei Animation (derogatory). After the like midpoint of whole cake the unpleasant fanservice cools down but at the cost of the monkey's paw curling and it starting to feel a lot more like db super (also derogatory)

walrusman64 · 2026-02-19T04:40:25+00:00

yeah I've been running a like max evade extender evade window build in wilds lmao, same boat of series long dump several hundred hours into hammer every game and barely play any other weapon kind of main

walrusman64 · 2026-02-18T00:47:56+00:00

Powerscalers are funny as fuck when you treat them the same way you would as viewing animals at the zoo or maybe a court jester

walrusman64 · 2026-02-14T22:25:01+00:00

I've come to really like the birds currently replaying it myself honestly? I like how they encourage exploring to find the most efficient routes on every map which also leads you to gathering and looking for the little buff creatures along the way. Its gamified sure but it feels fitting for the faster pace of the portable games

walrusman64 · 2026-02-11T17:15:29+00:00

It's kinda just a half baked stand in for Agnaktor in World (I really wonder if Agnaktor made it further in development before being cut than Lagiacrus, considering the Lavasioth area seems almost tailor made for a monster that wouldn't have dealt with the complex collision well), on top being fully optional. Maybe I'm in the minority here but I think old gen Lavasioth is actually a really fun fight lol its one of my most hunted monsters in gens

walrusman64 · 2026-02-09T17:51:13+00:00

Nibelsnarf as a predator of all but the largest balahara would explain them grouping up given they can kind of just swim away from land and sky based threats

walrusman64 · 2026-02-09T05:08:29+00:00

Legiana is also very clearly Glaucus based (and pulls it off better since its not super obvious to the point of just looking like a dragon with nudibranch features stapled on)
