It blew my mind because I wasn't expecting it.

does dbz talk shit different than other anime? I feel like everyone kind of talks shit to everybody else in every anime with heroes and villains.

I don't know. Never watched it.

Was he saying that talking mad shit was specifically compelling to black people?

That is what he meant. I interpreted it as "fuck yeah dude, that shit rules" more than "we talk shit" but who the hell knows.

I towed a guys truck one time. Nerdy fella, talked a ton. Said he loved DBZ. I fucking went for it, said "yo why did every one of the black dudes I know growing up love DBZ?" And without missing a beat he looks at me and goes "they talk MAD shit in the show man." Blew my mind.

It's super fun. The recent updates to this game have opened up an entire new world of possibilities. If you've never played or haven't played in a while, check out some gameplay footage of it, it's so much better now.

Wow, such a thoughtful and useful comment. I had to be carful to avoid spoilers and you were super sensitive to that while still giving great advice. Bravo and thank you.

 

I am having so much fun with this one. The systems are super polished and everything feels so smooth. If you are into platformers and somehow missed this one too, watch me play for a bit. It seems to have everything.

If you have any pointers that aren't blatant spoilers, I would love to hear them. Thanks in advanced.

The controller support seems good, but this style of platform shooter is pretty rough in general with the swivel aim. I think you could skip this one if you are a controller user (I love them too).

Got any wise tips on how to enjoy the game, without giving anything away? I am at home in these sandboxes, but wouldn't want to miss out on something fun.

 

This game is pretty epic, even all these years later. As someone who completely skipped it but loves exploration & space games, I'm kicking myself for not having found this game sooner.

Making the video was a real treat. I've recorded a few of these episodes already, but I'll only post this one time to avoid spam & rulebreaking. My goal in posting this is to see if anybody loves Starbound (or has never checked it out and wants to) and have them vibe alongside me, drop me comments/hints, or just be entertained as I explore the game.

It isn't sleeping, I'm just being dramatic. But, simple insects often just have resting periods, kind of like a cat. They're still alert, generally.

Thank you. I feel better now.

This was probably the first insect I ever truly appreciated as a youngster. The best part is that these guys generally let you take cool pictures of them right up close. Although, sometimes they do fly away suddenly...

So there's a neat trick for Odonata to differentiate between Damsels and Dragons. Look at the wings — do they "fan out" or are they "in line" with the abdomen? If they "fan out", and all four wings are roughly the same shape and size, it's a Dragonfly. If the wings are "in line" with the abdomen and the forewings and hindwings have slightly or even dramatically different shapes, it's a Damselfly.

Using this logic, we're looking at a Damselfly here. This can be confirmed by looking at the insect's body, it's very slim, whereas Dragonflies tend to have stouter body segments.

As for a species, at a glance, it looks an awful lot like an Ebony Jewelwing to me, but I'm not going to identify it with those pictures, as pretty (and haunting) as they may be, there isn't enough detail to use a key. But the colors, shape, and wing patternation are decently convincing that this is a female Calopteryx maculata.

Thanks for sharing!

 

I love these little guys. I saw this one on my driveway baking in the sun and relocated them to a flower using a stick for a photo shoot. After 15 minutes or so our little friend here scurried away into some leaf litter. 💚
