@MerriamWebster The funny part is how "Messrs." and "Misters" are the same number of characters, so they take roughly the same space and amount of time to write or type.

And with only two, "Mr. A and Mr. B" is more efficient still. We can really just can the plural abbreviation at this point.

@BannedDino And then some are straight-up identifiable animals, like Grizzlyvios.

@aevanko The problem with Game-Key cards is they add an extra point of failure. Fully physical games ideally never require a server connection. Fully digital games ideally don't have a physical key you can lose.

Key cards have both failure points baked in, plus any others both share.

@Oceaniz96 Minor suggestion: Replace "existence" with "presence" for monsters that had already been known to exist elsewhere. Doesn't change the intended meaning, but removes any implication that they're a new species.

@Oceaniz96 "Ten years or so" means she could be 27 or possibly even 28 or older, depending on how accurate Bahari's perception and memory of time are (dude IS a member of a species known for their longevity). We just know she's no younger than 26 in Sunbreak.

@aevanko I mean, this slide doesn't show Resident Evil either, and they're sure as heck doing remakes and ports for that franchise.

@G0ffThew All of which actually makes the ink eat the card faster, not slower. Gotta let the cards breathe if you don't want them to eat themselves.

@J4ckOfAllTradez @BannedDino Was actually neutral on both of them! If anything I think I preferred World since it actually interacted more with its mud mechanics, and felt more like it belonged in its position in the difficulty curve.

@BannedDino Been a switch axe main since I started, back in Tri, and Tri was easily the worst the weapon has ever been. Needing to insert a deliberate pause into your inputs to avoid Wild Swing was annoying.

Loved Sunbreak Rapid Morph swax, but Wilds swax comes close.

@BannedDino The fact that it starts playing when Lao gets to the final area and not when the hunter accomplishes something (like hitting Lao with the dragonator) always made me feel like it was playing for Lao and not for us. The dragon itself was the one facing adversity to come this far.

[Redmond Stache @RedmondStache]

@Oceaniz96 I mean, that's a thing that happens in real life, too. Look at any list of absurdly venomous or poisonous animals.

Evolution doesn't have a defined end state, so there's no reason for it to just stop once a trait reaches the "effective enough" threshold.

@BannedDino Snake wyverns just can't catch a break from anyone, huh.

[Redmond Stache @RedmondStache]

@Oceaniz96 Man, calling 3U mid while simultaneously cursing and praising MHFU? Bold takes.

[Redmond Stache @RedmondStache]

@BannedDino Would it hurt more or less than what we did to our poor Soulseers' eyes between hatching and riding them in Stories 2?

[Redmond Stache @RedmondStache]

@aevanko Honestly spent most of the last 33% with the Magia Charm out, making sure to hang onto my hearts and petting my Dreadqueen trio.

[Redmond Stache @RedmondStache]

@aevanko I used the hammer for my clear, but given that I got exactly one blast proc and hardly ever bothered to time my staggers I don't think it'd have been much different with any weapon.

Just gotta focus on always having 2-3 monsties with kinship, and Derring Guard in emergencies.

@aevanko Here's to the next 45!
