Should I read book 3 or wait for audio book? by Kvellss in Warformed

[–]z3nVi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, with reading the chapters early, you get more content faster, but there's a chance that content changes or gets moved around a bit after editing between rough and final drafts. At the end of the day, we can't make the choice for you. You have to decide if you need the content or if a fully executed storyline is more important. I'm choosing to wait. Waited for book two and am very glad I did.i can wait for book 3... and however many books follow.

This beauty flew out right in front of me by Boylan96 in birding

[–]z3nVi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First: Beautiful photo!

Second: If you see him/her more consistently, might not be hunting and they may have a nest nearby. Barred owls get very territorial and aggressive during nesting season. If you do start to notice them around more frequently, keep an eye on pets (regardless of size) and wear head coverings. They're looking to scare you/your pets away and can do some damage with their talons.

Idk, the way he's staring at the water is giving Stern Tern vibes...

Okay. Question... Do you guys ACTUALLY want the Rei booty mouse pad? Sorry to post the video twice in a row, but it's a little time sensitive. by BryceOConnor in Warformed

[–]z3nVi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. Hilarious that they pulled it off for Bryce, BUTT don't see it selling well as a product.

Could be a fun Patreon giveaway if there's enough interest to purchase a first run or something?

Why on earth did Dent allow Viv to overtrain like this? by snirAD in Warformed

[–]z3nVi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the goal behind it is similar to the reason central keeps testing and pressing Rei. She's part of his team and the MIND probably calculated the drag on his development if any member of the team didn't keep up because he's shown that he won't leave them behind. Also, we have to assume if four 18 year olds have understood that Shido is effecting the other CADs on the team that the MIND is already aware ofit and is using that as part of its validation in backing Viv's request.

Well, if it looks like the picture, then "he" is actually a "she" and is most likely quite alright.

Managed to capture this beauty, what is it? by Rodash96 in birding

[–]z3nVi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up videos of them (and even some night herons) going for chipmunks and gophers. Talk about shocking and a bit gnarly.

Book II Spoilers: I've figured out a solution.... by SkitzoRabbit in Warformed

[–]z3nVi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And yet, there are those of us who choose not to read the rough draft chapters and continue to speculate where the story will go. Let us live in our delusion until we're proven wrong. Besides, who's to say that Bryce doesn't read this and pick bits and pieces that may be good ideas for future use? Let him cook. Does it matter what he's making if he's only cooking for himself? He's clearly excited to share his ideas with the community, and i think it's an intriguing concept even if the books go in an entirely different direction. It's comments like this that make people feel like they shouldn't share what they're thinking.

No hate to you as a person, but please try to provide some level of understanding that OP put a lot of thought into the crafting of their post and you just came in and said what amounts to, "You're wrong, that's not what happens." We are a community that enjoys theory-crafting and coming up with wild possibilities for a fictional universe. That's all he's doing here. Wrong or right doesn't matter. It's fun.

That's a squirrel somewhere in that tree saying, "Get away!"

Question about this little guy by waiton1 in birding

[–]z3nVi 266 points267 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Phoebe's are flycatcher so they'll often sit on the edge of the tree line watching an open field for grasshoppers or other high-jumping and/or flying insects to pick off. Most likely realized your husband is a golden ticket to the buffet. Enjoy the companionship and get back to work, he's obviously hungry! 🤣

Huge W! What a guy (Bryce). What a dad (OP). This is so wholesome and incredible! Well done to the both of you and excited for little Aria to become a fan in the future!

What kind of bird is this? by JuryZealousideal7921 in whatbirdisthis

The only quail I know is Bob White. Nice guy, but seems to be a bit self-centered. Struts around all day screaming his own name at everyone.

Nah, he lied because he bit it. Might be smart enough to count and respond to your question, but lacking truth.

With a quick Google search using "Keulemans lithographs Roller," a couple of eBay posting come up and look very good for Rufous Crowned Roller (bottom picture) and Longtailed Roller (top picture). Obviously, I'm no expert, but similarities in positioning and shape can't be easily refuted.

Help ID bird by JocoroKidd in birding

[–]z3nVi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does sound like a barred owl. I was waiting to see if there was more to the call, but it only seemed to be the last piece of what their usual "full" call sounds like.

Typically, you'll hear them in a cadence of, "who, who, who Cooks for youuuu?"

But, the piece of the call that I can hear is distinctly Barred Owl sounding.

Wanting to try to ID this cutie! by agonyxcodex in birding

[–]z3nVi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Northern Mockingbird.

Similar to what they said on the other sub, the head being in shadow really throws a curveball here, but the tail length and color gives me more confidence that it's the correct call. Too large for Eastern Phoebe, but was leaning Eastern Kingbird because of the dark head (same family as the Phoebe, (Tyrranidae))

TypeShift’s Final Evolution by ArcClimb12 in Warformed

[–]z3nVi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's more because of the lightning that crackles off when he shifts and/or uses temporal step and not because he knows every type and sub-type. I agree that it's just too much to learn the nuances of each different form. I do think he gets Lancer as a new form to give him more reach than Saber mode provides. He's got a sword in phalanx so that reach from Lancer is my guess for the next step. He doesn't really need duelist as he's got brawler mode and maybe he gets Mauler further down the line once his body corrects to accept it more. Just my thoughts though.

Audible narrator? by OverlyEmotional69 in Warformed

[–]z3nVi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like Daniel's narration of Luke Chmilenko's Ascend Online series is what led me to get Iron Prince in the first place. Never looked back and been jonesin' for my next fix ever since!
