>game has forced diversityWhat game
>>738304026I agree, that game boy specimen that is currently displayed somewhere, the one that apparently survived bombing at war or some shit, is literally the Big Al of videogame consoles
GET THAGOMIZERED FAGGOT
>Game is advertised as one genre>But it's actually a completely different genre
>>738304340Is this a reference to how these guys are closely related to snakes?
Makin' my way downtownwalkin' fast.Faces pass and I'm homebound
>>738304394monitor lizards and snakes, yeah
>>738304340>coworkers: "ANON! You enjoy souls likes so you NEED to get Stellar Blade">gets Stellar Blade>it's not a souls like at all, has nothing to do with itI mean, I enjoyed SB, but what the fuck were they thinking? Also, Pliosaurs and Plesiosaurs >>>>> Mosasaurs, fight me
>>738304340>There have never been aquatic dinosaurswhy
>>738304737Keep in mind that for any given time in life's history (besides recent times) we only get to see a small window of what it once was, in college my professor said that we only know of about 5% of the things that once lived, I don't know if his numbers are exactly correct, but fossils need specific conditions to preserve and even then, in optimal conditions, chances are that something could happen to mess the process up, geological or biological interference, you name it, if the conditions are not optimal, chances are nothing or barely anything will be preserved, for example, jungles are terrible for preserving fossils, so we don't get to discover many creatures that once lived in such habitats because very little of them was preserved.Now I'm not gonna say THERE WERE aquatic dinosaurs, but I think it's fair to assume that THERE COULD BE aquatic dinosaurs and we just don't know shit about them and will never know because the fossils weren't preserved
>>738304737There were in all likelihood amphibious dinosaurs in the same way that hippos are or something like polar bears. But as this anon said >>738305030 we will never know. Dinosaurs existed for millions of years across every continent in a variety of biomes. Maybe a little over 600 species have been discovered and alot of those are fragments belonging to a jaw or tooth or a dislocated femur. Thats not counting the flying reptiles like pterosaurs or older marine reptiles like plesiosaurs, mosasaurs and icthyosaurs.
>>738305030>>738305184still baffling how there were no large aquatic dinosaurs. You'd think that since they dominated the land for 300 million years, they would've at least made some significant entries into the water as well.
>>738304737For the same reason there are no aquatic birds (No, penguins and ducks are not aquatic, they are semi-aquatic at best), their biology is uniquely ill-suited for it. Namely their bone structure, their lung system, and hyper-reliance on vision as their primary sense. Lepisaurs, and especially Mammals are much better suited for readapting to living in water full-time.
>>738305712You also have to factor in animals being able to occupy a certain niche. The Triassic already had icythyosaurs, plesiosaurs, sharks. The only reason mammals got to that point is because damn near anything bigger than 100lb died in the cretaceous extinction event.
>>738304408This fucking FAGGOT decided to flop into the sand billions of years ago and now I have to pay taxes because of it
>>738304737bro ur spino?
Is allosaurus the most reddit dinosaur?

>game has a glitch that allows you to fly
>>738308131>nice weather>look up to the sky>cunts airing their balls above youFucking assholes
>game is advertised as being massive >is actually relatively tiny
feathers
>>738311323>Megaladon got bigger than any mosasaur >the sperm whale ancestor Livyatan could rival it in size >but the sperm whale itself was bigger than that
>>738311323recent other pliosaurs do at least rival that fake liopleurodon in size
>>738312197people mocked me, claimed Megalodon bullied the shit out of Livyatan, but I'm finally being redeemed now that scientists are turning around on this notion and adult male livyatans were the ones who bullied megalodonsTOTAL CETACEAN SUPREMACY
>>738311323Even as a kid i knew there was no way that thing was that big
>>738312197>the true apex of the sea
>earlier games in the series are considered standalone titles
>>738312937>>738311323People often remember this as the most atrocious thing WWD did back then, but there was something even worse, they done Postosuchus dirtyThe "less worse" part about it is the posture of the animal, it wasn't a quadruped and it most definitely wasn't a slow animal, even when injured, but ok, understandable, there were misconceptions about some rauisuchian anatomy back then, but the most insulting thing was the whole narrative around Postosuchus, its relatives and how dinosaurs came to dominate the Mesozoic, they present this animal as inferior to dinosaurs, less adapted to Triassic conditions than dinosaurs and this is blatantly false, studies done in the 80s already prove this, in truth, back in the Triassic, dinosaurs were few and far between, and mostly present in higher latitudes and were no better adapted to Pangea's conditions than other animals that lived alongside them, just so you have an idea, most ecological niches back then were filled by pseudosuchians, yes, there were even herbivore pseudosuchians, search for Aetosauria if you're interestedIn truth, dinosaurs, like mammals did later, only came to dominance out of luck, not their own merit, they needed a global extinction event, search for the Triassic-Jurassic Mass Extinction Event, that threw the order back then into chaos, displaced most Pseudosuchians and paved the way for dinosaurs to fill the then emptied niches.tl;dr dinosaurs were not superior to pseudosuchians, nor were they better adapted to triassic conditions, they were lucky a global catastrophe happened and paved the way for their dominance, before that, they were absolutely not mogging and displacing pseudosuchians

>>738313251I like Livyatan, but to me, Basilosaurus is pure sexo, especially that female from the Walking With Beasts show
>>738306018skill issue
>>738313995Man whales really let themselves go over the years. Hopefully peptides will turn them back into smooth lizards
better question, what is the cambrian of video games?
>>738315183Dudes in the 50s playing with lights on their room sized computers
>>738315183The paleozoic really needs a "Jurassic Park" moment of its own, it's criminal that these creatures don't get the spotlight they deserve >so called 'scientist':"Guys!!! Did you know that anomalocaris actually had feathers!?!!!"Yeah, now that I put some thought into it, its best that these animals are left unknown...
>>738303846>velociraptors were actually small and gayI've never felt more betrayed...
>>738315743If you read the book you'd know Hammond juiced the dinos way beyond their natural capabilities.
>>738315743they already knew of utahraptor when making jurassic park but still went for velociraptor because it had a cooler namethe only real damage to paleontology that movie did, honestly
>>738315743Velociraptor has always been overhyped by media. Deinonychus will get his time to shine one day, I believe in him.
>feathers on dinosaurs make them look faggy>but terror birds are coolwhy is this?
>>738317284You are just nostalgic for featherless dinosaurs
>>738317413But I wasn't into Dinosaurs as a kid
>>738313395>where do you work out?>at the library
>>738317484Liar, every kid loves dinosaurs.
>>738317284You find the birds more relatable because those still exist.
>>738317284>terror birds are basically the dinosaurs comeback>it is in fact literally a dinosaur>dinosaurs can still come back at any time
>>738317284Hmmm?Bird. Birdy Birdy.
>>738317632>moas went extinct>ostriches are goofyCassowaries are our last hope.
>>738317691they should breed cassowaries with elephants so we can get huge cassowaries
>game gets a massive debloat>people still aren't aware
