i'd say these days paleo art is more "okay so we know what related animals look like, and we know what animals in the same general niche look like, so let's use those to fill in the blanks from the skeleton and make something that looks like you could find it in the wild"

honestly i feel like many people are quite a bit too generous towards people of the past, people just really liked to write fanfiction with fossils as the base for a lot of the history of paleontology.. Basically like what jurassic park did but they passed it of as enlightened science, conveniently forgetting to tell people that they just went ahead and moved a bone found near the legs up to the nose..
Certainly there was genuine attempts to recreate dinosaurs, but good lord a lot of it is just obviously biased, lord forbid dinosaurs not be portrayed as sluggish obsolete monsters!

i don't think slop is a technology issue, it's people having dogshit taste

traditional artists have mercifully filtered out the worst of it, but now the floodgates are open

mixing cars and bikes works, but only under specific circumstances: you need to make sure the cars drive slowly, there's little car traffic in the first place, and ideally drivers should be used to cyclists and cyclists themselves, so they actually view them as humans and avoid making them feel like shit.

i agree, if you replace the cameras with guns

assuming this is a genuine question and not just astroturfing: anyone who has to ask this question needs to have a big long look at their mental acuity, because if you actually can't figure out any other solution to these issues than "drive a car" then you must be struggling in day to day life.

lol it doesn't support japanese/korean/chinese characters, so like precisely what people would want to use it for

i'd say being in orbit is arguably the least on a planet can be, since an orbit is specifically continuing to miss falling onto the planet.

i believe the USA is working on that right now actually

i agree with him, provided we de-orbit it onto his skull

unfortunately i feel you can't call yourself spacefaring unless you actually control the ship, and we have about as much control over our trajectory as a mosquito has control over the amount of blood inside a blue whale

my plan is to be too busy kissing my partner at all times to say anything
