This is actually doing a disservice to all the work paleontologists do in reconstructing. There was indeed a time where there was too much stretching over bones, but this is something they are now very aware of. Also keep in mind reptiles, avians and and mammals have a very different relationship between bones and body. It's mainly mammals that tend to add a lot of bulk like that.

They've made more than 10 of these per human on the planet.

How's the gameplay in terms of role-playing and freedom to tackle quests? Any hidden choices or missions with many different solutions? Or is it more like Witcher 3 with clear choices resulting in a small number of quest paths at most?

There's like a not insignificant 1% of people who are intersex where looking at chromosomes can get tricky.

I do think they have a point: there's not many other engines I can think of that are quite as 'tangible' as theirs. Every object has its physical place in the world and can be picked up, manipulated,... in a way that's unlike other engines where the world just feels more static.

That honestly seems pretty low for friend.com

Although the fact they're developing hardware on less than a million dollar budget is bananas, let alone the other whack ideas

He'd probably do something similar on day 1 while at the same time starting to recuperate the action politically, and after a few days just go into full conspiracy or similar mode

Yeah, in fact I think that's a majority of those cases. Vocal minority of reactionaries and/or fans disappointed that their expectations weren't met despite the product on its own being good

Not for a couple of decades he hasn't, see Spaceballs the series or crazy history of the world part 2

I remember seeing a hypothesis that ADHD would have been beneficial in Hunter-gathering, as you would more quickly move from plant to plant rather than fully depleting a resource. It was just one study where they had a sort of game/simulation to test it though, so very early days on that theory.

A nuclear power plant doesn't pollute either of those more than any other large building, and sure uranium mining is still mining, but renewables and battery storage also depend on raw mined materials.
