- Replying to @RickDaSquirrelJust gonna remind people that the 2005 Peter Jackson King Kong game is, while not perfect, actually pretty damn good survival FPS game where you really struggle against the Island's creatures and every bullet you get matters, and you have get the creatures to attack and prey on
- Replying to @theobromic_Kinda related, a obsessive insect nerd Noblewoman in Heian Japan
- Replying to @_claypotPredator in 16th/17th century Americas or Southeast Asia around Spanish colonialism where the Predator is picking off a ragtag team composed of a Aztec or Tlaxcalteca noble, a Conquistador, a Samurai, a Pirate, an African slave, and a Filipino guy
- Replying to @mrexitsIt was so bad that Juicero is literally the main image for Wikipedia's article on Overengineering
- Replying to @SarahElzeiniDetailed cloth and skin "texture" in marble sculptures is amazing, but equally mind blowing IMO are the "paintings" made of hundreds of thousands of feathers made by Aztec artists for the Spanish in early Colonial Mexico.
- Replying to @fancy_frogg and @fasc1nateI'm pretty sure steel scalpels don't even get close to 3-molecule wide edges, so the difference is even more extreme then that
- Replying to @Fleechiru and @MS06ZAKU_IIThe sad thing is, they're right. Despite how much flak Pokemon Let's Go got, it looked better then Legends and S/S, which looked better then SV.
- Replying to @hormezeYou might also be interested in the Leaf Sea Slug, which like the Volcano Snail has got to be up there as one of the most Pokemon-esque real life organisms It absorbs chloroplasts from the algae it eats, allowing it to get energy from sunlight like plants do
- Replying to @WolfeyGlickI don't think there's a single answer given how much Pokemon's aesthetics have changed over the years In Gen 1, it'd be either Nidoking or Rhydon for a "tough" mon, or Pikachu, Clefairy, Pysduck, etc for a "cute" one. But how other gens look is different (pic by Shenaniganza)
- Replying to @Carlos_FilmAnother 2. Dorado is what got me into Mesoamerican history and archeology as a kid. It's got issues in terms of authenticity, but it's not nearly as bad as most other large productions I highly recommend Onyx Equinox for a modern animated take on the topic, VERY well researched
- Replying to @ChipperRpThis isn't digimon at at all, there's no stages at the end where there's a bunch of random guns and cyborg parts slapped onto them/where they turn into a robotic knight
- Replying to @PikaspreyWhat's funny is there's barely anything special there, IIRC there's just Wynauts?
- Replying to @its_grayishI LOVE SHADERS AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES THAT RESULT IN DIFFERENT HUES AND/OR LIGHTING BASED ON THE VIEWING ANGLE FRESNEL SHADING, IRIDESECENCE, HOLOGRAMS, SUBSURFACE EFFECTS, THIN FILM OPTICS ETC ARE ALL RAD AND SHOULD BE UTILIZED LIBERALLY AND GARISHLY IN GAMES AND 3D ANIMATION
