For carnivore, Dilophosaurus (the real one not the Jurassic Park bozo), cool crests, not too big not too small size, nice shape
For herbivore, Parasaurolophus because dang, look at that cutie. I wanna ride one and get my ears blown out by the deafening toot it may or may not have produced 
Dope. Baller, even.
Yeah as I mentioned in the mega I'm real fuckin' tired of this bizarre mentality that you get out of high school, you get to be young for like 7 to 12 years, then the remaining 50ish years of your lifespan you're "old" and you have to feel bad about it. Like what happened to just being a grown-ass adult?
It ain't just Japan, it's a brainworm across the whole goddamn internet. It's sickening; it makes me sad for the people who genuinely feel this way about their own lives and it aggravates me when they spout this mentality because it feels like it's an assault on my own mindset (and what I thought was the normal, practical and healthy mindset) that aging is part of the experience of being alive, and that there are many benefits to becoming a more mature and enriched person as you encounter more that life has to offer. Personally I have become much more calm, much more capable of focusing, and much more willing to learn things as I have grown.
A) Getting older is the goal, it is (generally) something to be celebrated, not lamented.
B) When you're not even fucking 50 yet, and you're crying about being "old", people in their 60s/70s/80s/etc. will just straight up laugh in your face, because that shit is embarrassing. Cut it the fuck out.
Yeah, I mean I don't know if you saw but Itabashi just got 2nd at Combo Breaker last weekend, taking out many much younger killers along the way, and the dude is 44. But will people stop joking about being too old to play the game when you're 14+ years younger than that? Nope.
I hate it, people are so weird about it. Meanwhile I'm trying to enjoy growing older, maturing, discovering new interests and foods and learning new things - growing older is the goal and a whole lot of people don't get to do it.
So, it's endlessly jarring to hear people complain about it so much.
goddamn I'm so beyond tired of listening to people in the FGC talk about age, these people act like the microsecond you turn 26 you're 3/4 of the way dead, even while watching people in their late 30s/mid-early 40s place top 8 at tournaments over and over and over
I think in general I'm just very weary of hearing people spout their baseless misconceptions and then just parrot them back at each other endlessly
very, very weary
Have you suffered enough to justify your existence today?
thinkin bout thos peas
The world... is changing...
Yeah it's tough because there really aren't good systems in place for helping people like this unless you have a shitload of money (gee what a surprise I wonder why)
But yeah if you say shit like what this guy did in front of me, as someone who's brother had schizophrenia, yeah, dude's gettin' put in his place, some way or another
Seemingly never. I remember after several years of watching Jon Stewart do his shtick long ago, getting frustrated even as a viewer that he and his writers were putting so much effort into simply mocking republicans to literally no discernible effect. It made me realize what a flimsy weapon sarcasm is, on a political scale.
the whole song but seriously everything from 2:15 on is just
Haven't played this game yet. I will, but I'm trying to put space between the RPGs I play.
I was listening to music on youtube and I got one of those low-view video recommendations for some Japanese jazz fusion band. I click it, because the genre is nice and because I like to discover new music, but right off the bat I start to get that uncanny feeling. Just a quick glance at the details in the thumbnail image and I can see the nonsensical asymmetry. The music sounds okay, but I can feel that it's just... not right. So I go to check the description, and it has a kind of micro-biography for this band, describing their motivations for creating music, the history of their coming together and their first album, the name of the music label that produced it, their inspiration, complete with each individual band member's name and role.
So I look up the band. Nothing. I look up the members. Nothing. I look up the music label. Nothing.
The band, the members, the music, the album, its cover, are all computer-generated. There is no disclaimer in the video, or its description. It's the opposite, in fact, it's all pretending to be real - to be human.
A deception, but also something worse. In this instance I was able to discern that something uncanny was going on, but I know that many people would not, and do not, the same way people are constantly falling for obvious lies in news, social media, etc.. So for those people, they're listening to a Japanese jazz fusion band from the early 90s. They like the music, the sounds are smooth and comforting but groovy, and there's a false promise that behind the beat there's a group of musicians from a time before the internet was even known to the vast majority of humanity, expertly working to express the combination of many years of practice, their various inspirations drawn from other humans and the world around them, and their cooperation with one another - their human relationships.
It's a mockery of art, and of human expression. The presentation isn't merely a lie; it's an insult. An assertion that that band, those people, their inspirations, their relationship, doesn't actually matter. And for every person that clicks the thumbnail, enjoys the music, and then moves on to the next thing without realizing it's an artifice, the assertion is unchallenged. The insult is justified.
But of course, this isn't limited to music, and it's not limited to art. Every single day, imitations replace more and more of what we see, undercutting with each manifestation the value of human interaction.
I could distinguish that this album and this band were counterfeit, but if all I had been presented with was the music - no thumbnail, no description, no fake names - I wouldn't really have been able to tell that it was pretending to be a product of human expression, I wouldn't have the comfort of being able to confirm any suspicions - I would only be left with that sense that something was wrong. And what fills me with this creeping sense of dread is that I know how much money and effort is being pumped into this technology to make it more and more convincing, and that every day more of it is generated and dumped into social media, videos, music, chats, image-hosts, even little forums like this, like garbage into the ocean. Meaning that as time passes, from now and onward, I will fall for that sickening lie more and more while becoming increasingly paranoid and distrustful of every conversation I have, every game I play, every video I watch, every piece of music I enjoy.
It's a wildfire, but no one's fighting it - and the people with the most power to do so are air-dropping accelerant into the flames.
This is the video that inspired this post.
I'm sure some will try to pick apart the things I've said here, but just so they know: I'm not posting this to elicit any debate, I'm only sharing a newly-attained level of awareness of something that truly disgusts and unsettles me, in the way that sci-fi horror does. Invention not to benefit humanity, but to replace a crucial component of what's important about being human with something artificial.
Footnote: my browser tried to tell me "accelerant" isn't a word, so I did a search to make sure I wasn't wrong about the spelling, and underneath the definition confirming I wasn't wrong, the first link is to some AI-based site called "accelerant ai".
Now... I'm gonna try to create this post while letting only very, very little of my TITANIC rant about the death of immersion in MMORPGs leak out.
I hadn't heard of this game until today, I saw it on Steam, saw that it was an MMORPG, saw that it actually had really good reviews, and that peaked my interest. I'm an old school WoW player, by which I mean I played Vanilla WoW when it was current (though I started playing in 2005/2006 when I was not yet an adult), but I am unlike quite a lot of other WoW players in that what I miss the most about the early round of MMORPGs is that the key ingredient of those games, of the whole genre, was that they were meant to be a much more immersive kind of video game.
These days you can't even say the word around most MMO players without them mocking you for it.
So then I see this game Pantheon, and it's obviously inspired by early MMOs, but it seems like most of the focus is on its tactical, social combat system. Don't get me wrong, that's a good thing of course, but an MMORPG should be radiating personality, it should be inviting to lose yourself in the depths of its setting. Meanwhile, this game seems seriously lacking in any kind of distinct atmosphere; almost the models, monsters, buildings, environments I saw look stiff, bland, and entirely lacking their own character. The list of playable races: 
is almost entirely stale as fuck cookie cutter fantasy shit (I'm so goddamn tired of "human, human with pointy ears, short human, even shorter human") and so these things are a pretty big turn off for me.
Basically I'm trying to find out if anyone here plays it, likes it, and could sell me on it, because if it actually is good, it would be nice to have something good to play. Especially while being in need of distraction right now.
