(Happily, I don't speak from personal experience.) Spiders are important for the planet's health, in contrast to humans. According to my last quick check I am currently sharing my flat with several specimens of Pholcus phalangioides, Eratigena atrica, Steatoda nobilis and Uloborus plumipes (not counting the official family spider, Psalmopoeus irminia).

Aye, some bugger determined that the 'original' Brontosaurus had been discovered/named before (Apatosaurus), so rules of precedence made Brontosaurus no more. So for a decade or so* we all had to call the thing 'Apatosaurus actually'. Anyway, more recent analysis has indicated that Brontosaurus is indeed a legitimate genus after all, although I get the impression that the palaeontologists are still challenging each other to duels over the matter still...

I probably have my facts wrong to some degree, but IIRC (read about it in the 90s in a comprehensive book about dinosaurs) the Brontosaurus of old was actually an Apatosaurus' skeleton that lacked the head, someone deciding to "complete" it with a Camarasaurus' skull. When the "forgery" was found out and corrected paleontologists found themselves having two names for the same creature. Salute. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well kinda true, some folks here have commented in the past that WG has likely fired most of the programming devs long ago since when they created the base game and the tools they use to add content they were unnecessary as one does not need an understanding of code just to add a new model in the game, and the ones they left are likely to have been the office suck-ups or to put it directly - the ones managers like most and see/represent as the most valuable members of the teams and if there is one constant in every line of business its that the suck-ups always suck at their actual job since to be good at doing what you do you need to dedicate a lot of time and effort into it and that doesnt leave much time for sucking-up, ergo the suck-up have free time to suck up couse they dont do sh*it and dont know how to do sh*t... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like Cryptic Studios and their infamous "spaghetti code". Not only could they not change things without breaking completely unrelated things, in the end they had to shut down entire parts of the game world because no-one knew how it worked any more, and they couldn't update it when the rest of the game was patched. WG are getting themselves into the same mess of late. Submarine development has broken the maps (under sea terrain) so that neither the autopilot or collision avoidance system can be relied on (we won't mention CV autopilot). They've broken the bot aiming systems in Ops and Co-op, as half the time they can't hit anything, and their movement patterns have become bizarre. They've broken torpedoes, fixed them and broken them again, differently. Submarines are a buggy mess to play and to play against - I just had a jolly little game in Bismarck where I got hit by homing torpedoes without being pinged (??) and have played numerous games in subs where torpedoes have " lost their target " despite having two pings on the target throughout their run. They've designed an entire event (Missouri) around a ship which is bugged, and has a turret firing shells with completely different properties to the other two. Regardless of what you think of WG's communication skills and monetisation strategies, the actual game itself is in the worst state it's been in for years. I played this game in Beta and it was a lot more robust than it currently is. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
