  • Mine was wilderness survival, which I think would still be a thing if cell phones weren’t as advanced as they are with GPS navigation, emergency dialing and location.

    I know it still happens and is still a very needed skill specially for those who live out in low populated areas, but I genuinely thought that being lost or stranded in the woods was a super common thing. Like needing to start a fire, finding water and hunting to catch food was definitely an experience I would one day have to go through even though I grew up in a large city and didn’t have a reason to go off the grid often aside from occasional shore fishing.


  • I feel like the DC could have done better if it had implemented some neat features that were well within its ability during that time.

    MP3 players were an actual thing during that time and Sega had shown to be a great way to play music via their Saturn music player app. Imagine a world where they had driven the VMU to be a portable mp3 player with ability to rip/transfer music via connection to console.










  • Without her, the J6 investigation would have probably not been as successful. As much as you’d like she was influencitial to the shenanigans, she wasn’t. J6 was the turning point for many and it was where she chose to draw the line. Remember that till this moment she’s probably the only one with balls to speak out against. Even Pence who’s life was in danger had chosen to continue and ride it out. Compared to who we’re filling in those spots, I’m actually happy she’s one of the ones that at least brought forth her morality and duty.



  • I’m sure someone will chime in with more reason but I find this interesting. At first glance the skull looks mega alien. However I bet good paleontologist (good ones at least) compare characteristics between ancient and recent age bones. Then they can sorta make out what the creature prob looked like. The difficulty is coming across a creature that has nothing to compare to or is very alien to the creatures in the region you found it.





  • This is true for the their frontpage at least. Many say it wasn’t a good knowledge base, I feel like it was. Specially for those who starting hobbies or running into issues. Also the most random knowledge would show up there.

    If you were using it to get facts to form an opinion, I would say it wasn’t the best but then again, that style of research is difficult even without reddit.

    I miss the good quality reads I’d get from it, but Lemmy is now that filler for me.




  • Most of Nintendo’s high-end franchises have been able to “evolve” except for Pokemon. Even the proven -to-always-work ones have taken great steps forward. For a franchise based on an RPG that honestly has plenty to pull from it’s resistant to make itself better. The progression of a pokemon game becomes to expected and bland and to some extent it stops making sense in its own world. People have been making suggestions for years now and it’s pathetic they refuse to listen to it’s base. Scarlett and Violet should have been it’s death but people still bought into it so again, it works for sales so why would they need to add in extra resources? Once I picked up on the gimmicks (z-power and gigantamax) I knew it was getting ridiculous. The game just straight up relies on predictable concepts of grinding and higher levels encounters through progression yet it tries to pass itself off as openworld and non linear when you have orher games who clearly do it better. If a pokemon game held it’s same concepts and was called somethings else like Master Catcher or Battle Critters it wouldn’t even be considered as “great” as it is. You can’t say the same for the other franchises.
