Short post of paleontologists absolutely slaying photo shoots with their discoveries. Please add more such images if you have them.

Here’s some bon(e)us ones: José Bonaparte with Carnotaurus and (the late) Jorge Calvo with a lower jaw of the largest described Giganotosaurus.

my brother started calling our cat “doobie brother” which he then lengthened to “dubious brother” and has since morphed into “brother dubious” like he’s some sort of fucked up little monk

Our son Sam has told us that the D&D art file we use for a screensaver on various devices bothers him.

Because it makes him frustrated that he can’t look at some of them longer. He wants to know what is happening in some of them.

I told him that is one of the reasons we play Dungeons & Dragons, so we can go find out together, in our collective imagination.

Not really D&D related- but I feel compelled to add to this that not only are these GORGEOUS pixel arts- they are also in fact not animated. There are no frames used. There’s no extra pieces of art. Just one layer.

These pieces are so old that they stem from a time where animating cost way too much memory and/or only 256 colors could be used at one time, so the motion is achieved by ‘color cycling’. Half the available colors would be reserved for that very color cycling. It’s mchecking bonkers, please go watch this video if you feel like learning the technical details of how these artworks were made!
They were screensavers that would match the actual time of day that you were in. Somehow. Just by cycling color palettes. Wild shit.

(Especially relevant time stamps for color cycling: 5:50, 9:55, 37:26, at 49:54 he gets into the technical side of HOW this even works)

Yup.

I’ve always enjoyed how they depicted some of the landscapes at different times of the day/weather/season.

Like these two areas. Daytime and nighttime at the village by the waterfalls.

And the high mountains hidden by rain in one and visible in the other.

ME: so this is the 21st century
CAVEMAN: i don’t know what either of those words mean but okay
ME: it’d take a while to explain. we’ve solved many problems that used to consume a lot of your time
CAVEMAN: oh, so you’ve figured out why we’re all here and what it all means and you’ve got nothing left to do but watch the sun go down and go back up again like a corpse
ME: god no. We don’t know any of that shit and we have like an average of half an hour of free time per day and we spend most of it worrying about shit other people say about us
CAVEMAN: I’m going to draw you as a notoriously stupid animal on the wall of a cave
ME: We have that too. It’s called wojaks

happy birthday to the greatest promo in wrestling history

i’d only ever seen the typography version before, so here’s that if you’ve only seen the actual promo before!

fun fact: due to being out on injury, kurt angle was NOT added to the mix, and so Samoa Joe’s chances did NOT drastic go down

as a result, Samoa Joe won at Sacrifice

THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE
