  • Somewhat unexpectedly as its a free to play live service game and is notoriously grindy.

    Warframe.

    Last year was fire for them, they’ve got:
    • cross platform play and save up
    • a string of great updates
    • working on reducing the overly grindy bits.
    • its less pay to win now as the best weapons are purely behind gameplay.
    • released an iphone version of the game and are working on an android one, I believe both are intended to be attached to the rest of the player base.

    You can play a few matches(sub-30 minutes, usually sub 15) in a session and that’s fine. You don’t need any of the Prime warframes to do any content.





  • As i understand the current consensus on Spinosaurus:
    • it walked on all fours, not on two legs.
    • it was probably similar to a giant croc as is mouth is design for catching fish.
    • the tail looks like it could be used for swimming, but didn’t have the muscle attachments for croc/gator tail swimming.
    • which is weird because that should put it in an ideal situation to give fantastic skeletons(similar to the duck billed dinosaurs), but we barely have any. Worse is that the most complete skeleton was destroyed by allied bombing in WW2.
    • and all of that raises the question of what the hell was the sail for. Since that doesn’t make sense on an aquatic ambush predator.
    • moreover, the sail wasn’t a one-off, but a feature of half of the spinosaurids, so it was selected for. So it served some useful purpose.


    1. Tea quality really matters. Almost all of the supermarket stuff in ultra fine bags is literally the leftover dust from actual tea making. (Looking at you, Tetley)

    2. Steep time and water temperature. Oversteeping make it bitter, which is unfortunately how most older people grew up serving it. Some teas need 5 minutes at 95C(Rooibos); other need a minute at 80C(most greens)
