  • Personally I hated the whole gang warfare mechanic in San Andreas, so I never finished the game.

    GTA IV was filled with details and graphically very good at the time. But the constant hounding by your companions was a major turn off. Fuck that “cousin Romain disliked you didn’t pick up your phone while you were being chased by the police” shit.

    V was okay, but I also never finished it. Both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 just feels like a chore at some point. As much as I’d want to like them they just fail to hold my attention.

    For me Vice City was the part I enjoyed most, not overly long and absolutely I loved the 80’s vibe. 🤤




  • The opposite is true for the tiny arms. The arms are not tiny because it’s beneficial for them to be that small. They’re tiny because there’s no reason for them to be big.

    It is theorised that it might actually have been an advantage to have smaller arms, so there may have been some selective pressure:

    “What if several adult tyrannosaurs converged on a carcass? You have a bunch of massive skulls, with incredibly powerful jaws and teeth, ripping and chomping down flesh and bone right next to you. What if your friend there thinks you’re getting a little too close? They might warn you away by severing your arm”

    In case of larger species with a tremendous bite force getting bitten in the arm would probably result in very bad, and likely very short, times.
