Sad trumpet as Saoul Zod kills the joke

Also hi Egull

[lean vale]

Digital art is a pain in the ass, so far I've tried making a pfp but im still trying to figure out some stuff

[prime crow]

loving my sandbox park, im not even taking it seriously cause its primarily a build site for my builds

[hardy phoenix]

Hello Method.

[native talon]

Mixed opinions about Dominion

Most are bad

[sage crater]

not surprised

[real harness]

their first mistake was going in with good expections, when i see it im going in knowing full well im gonna have fun with my brain off

[lean vale]

Watch critical drinker, very good channel

[rough hollow]

Fallen kingdom was like that, dominion was just a snoozefest

[barren bear]

Hi

[prime crow]

@lean vale you wanted this right?

[native talon]

This looks like an episode like an episode of Jojo's Bizarre Adventures

I like it

[prime crow]

thanks, thats the goal

im gonna try to go all out on it

[toxic ledge]

praying that pk adds a megaraptoran

[lean vale]

hell yeah xd

it looks sick lmao

[prime crow]

same

[prime crow]

thanks! im working on doing several pass overs to get the right amount of details

[lean vale]

I'm trying to work out that same exact method and so far digital art is a pain with krita

[lean vale]

that would be awesome to see but we know so little that the next big finding can change them entirely honestly

[toxic ledge]

then double down and do the most average megaraptoran design you can think of

[prime crow]

you will get it just keep at it

[toxic ledge]

nothing too particularly derived, just a body plan that is recognizable as megaraptoran

[lean vale]

so basic theropod with a somewhat slim head and big ass claws

[toxic ledge]

callie's megaraptor is an excellent example of what i'm thinking

that's about as megaraptoran as it gets

[lean vale]

yeah that is what I had in mind lol

[toxic ledge]

of course, there's room for exploration

do you want a megaraptoran with longer legs? a bulkier body? larger arms (my personal favorite)?

[lean vale]

eh bulkier body and arms, maybe some protofeathers ngl

I have fred's megaraptor in my mind

nvm wasn't fred's but this is what I had in mind lol

[toxic ledge]

disregarding my monster megaraptor head design, if i were to make a paleo megaraptoran it would look like callie's megaraptoran with some larger arms and that protofeather fuzz i see around sometimes

cuz i think it'd be cute to see a megaraptor take a dust bath

i'm admittedly not a[s much a] fan of bulkier lookin megaraptorans, though i do know that is paleo accurate for derived members (i still like them though :))))

i like the slim boys

[hallow mango]

@blissful sun ||that was the buck and doe from tlw||

[solemn spoke]

@blissful sun ||those are the jp2 buck and doe rex at the end with rexy ||

[blissful sun]

||OH. didn't realize. and they only gave brief explanations to why they were there too||

[hallow mango]

||they literally said a lot of the dinosaurs there were imported from sorna||

[gray solar]

||So is the jw rex the child of buck and doe??||

[blissful sun]

||We could have had such a better conclusion to the series||

[solemn spoke]

no

[blissful sun]

brief explanations

[solemn spoke]

jw rex is rexy from the first jp

[blissful sun]

||When the movie is mostly about giant bugs and not dinosaurs||

[blissful sun]

I mean that isn't really a spoiler right?

[gray solar]

I know, i honestly wouldve watched a snyders cut jurassic world to end it all off

[hallow mango]

||it was a good plotline, lead to wu and maisie being actual characters||

[gray solar]

So what happened to the baby rex in jp2

[blissful sun]

||It was pretty much Jp but in modern times. They just copied many similar scenes from other movies||

[gray solar]

True

[solemn spoke]

|| idk, maybe died, left on sorna, is in the biosyn valley but not shown ||

[gray solar]

||wasnt that the point? To reuse old scenes for the nostalgia?||

[blissful sun]

||I thought it would have been cool if there was a group trying to capture the dinosaurs and militarize them.||

[blissful sun]

||So it was basically fan service?||

[gray solar]

||ig :T||

[solemn spoke]

||eh, im sorta glad they dropped the militarize dino shit ||

[blissful sun]

||Just used old scenes to make people feel like it is a fitting ending. I loved Fallen Kingdom much more||

[gray solar]

I hope they make another one, would be really sad if this ended up being the actual last one

[barren bear]

😃

[solemn spoke]

if they ever make another movie its probably gonna be like a reboot kinda thing

[gray solar]

||im not gonna lie, i kinda liked the first jw the best||

[blissful sun]

||They never had militarizing dinosaurs. It was only briefly mentioned. Would have been interesting if this new group created giga because they were inspired by indominus rex's power and aggression and wanted to make something better and captured other dinosaurs as well.||

[gray solar]

Yea

[blissful sun]

So many cool scenes and an interesting plot

[solemn spoke]

eh

[blissful sun]

||I was expecting chaos in the world of dominion. All the dinosaurs seemed pretty chill and we never really got to see the effects of actual dangerous dinosaurs rampaging through our world||

[solemn spoke]

||im kinda glad the giga was just a regular dino, i think it got bullied way too hard tho and forced to be the "villian" dino ||

[blissful sun]

||Barely got any screen time. I also didn't like how a few of the dinosaurs looked like plastic or had robotic movements||

[gray solar]

||would giga be more powerful than giga? I hate that they wont give us an actual 1v1 from the apexes, there always has to be a 3rd wheel involved||

[solemn spoke]

rex and spino

[gray solar]

In jw

[blissful sun]

||Indom was the best villain dinosaur. Had build up, suspense, and so many other things that made it a great dino||

We never even got to see the scenes shown on youtube lol

Although I'm not sure if they were intended to be in the film or not

[gray solar]

||exactly, and to my 9 year old self thought it was scary as shit||

[blissful sun]

I loved the helicopter scene where they were shooting the indom

[gray solar]

Oh yea

[blissful sun]

Not to mention the one where all the ACU got eaten

[gray solar]

Yup lol, that one freaked me out when i first watched it

OH funny story

[blissful sun]

Such great movie. Honestly thought it was better than JP

Although JP was really good too

[blissful sun]

Indominus

[solemn spoke]

what the fuck does giga prime even mean lmao, it only appeared in one movie

[blissful sun]

[gray solar]

The first time i went to see jw, my brother got so scared he made us leave the theater. I remember it was the scene where it showed the dying apatos. "Its hunting for sport...."

[blissful sun]

When it woke up after his nap

[gray solar]

Lol

[devout pilot]

Like the indominus rex didnt kick rexys ass

[gray solar]

If it was an actual 1v1, with no one else fighting, the indo would beat everything else hands down

[devout pilot]

And people vote for rexy

[blissful sun]

My top 5 JW scenes

1. Aviary Scene
2. ACU Carnage
3. Raptor Chase through the woods and the fight after
4. Final battle
5. Indom breakout

[smoky mauve]

Alright, so if you get to count fully grown indom then it's indom first no questions asked, the indom in the movie is still not fully grown yet and would outsize all of those. Second would be giga, it's shown to stomp rexy both in prehistoric times, and modern day, only going down to mix packing between two large animals. Spinos 3rd again, killed a rex, it's feats are simply better than rex. And that leaves rexy at last, counting all of the feats of all the rexes to come across in JP, their best feat as a species is killing carnotaurus. They have never won a 1v1 against any animal of their size, rex is truly shit

[gray solar]

Same honestly, the raptor chase was my fav tho

[blissful sun]

If they made the other movies as good as JW...

[blissful sun]

and the music too

[gray solar]

LMAO rex small game hunter

[gray solar]

Music in jw was the best easily imo

[smoky mauve]

Rexes best feat in JP is matched by fucking sinoceratops

[blissful sun]

All Rexy did was chuck some raptors across a room

Without Blue, it would be dead

[gray solar]

Maybe rexy is just a really incompetent rex

[blissful sun]

Rexy irl should be beating giga, but im not so sure about indominus

[gray solar]

Man i wouldve loved it so much if they gave bull more screen time in the newer movies, pattern was so much better

[blissful sun]

Spino vs giga

[smoky mauve]

Not even, rex as a species has never won a 1v1 against any animal of it's size. Jp3 rex does to spino, the prehistoric rex got absolutely slammed by giga, and rexy lost again to the giga, rexy also lost to indom

[fierce inlet]

kinda late reply xd, if they made the rexy and the giga 1v1 on their own we all know that would end with rexy dying in 5 seconds but with theri in we got 5 more seconds and rexy won same with indom vs rexy and blue

[smoky mauve]

Small game hunter

[gray solar]

RIIIGHT

[blissful sun]

||how does theri put up a better fight against giga than rex?||

||AND ITS BLIND||

[devout pilot]

If jurassic world was more accurate

[gray solar]

Im dumb lmao

[devout pilot]

Rex would've killed the giga with its bite force

[blissful sun]

rex would have been dead to indominus so it would never have fought giga

[gray solar]

Yup

[fierce inlet]

the accuracy they went for is "bigger is stronger" so giga wins in every senario

[smoky mauve]

If you were talking accurate animals, I would argue rex>indom since that fucker is chonky

[gray solar]

True, they talked about size with giga

[blissful sun]

It is JP. What more do you want? They make entertaining dinosaur movies which are cool. That is all that matters

[gray solar]

True, indo is kinda slinky compared to rex

[fierce inlet]

and if we are talking bite, did rexy even land a proper bite on the giga's neck?

[blissful sun]

But Indom probably had even tougher skin

[gray solar]

Yep lol i only watch for the cgi dinosaurs

The reunion with the characters was kinda cool ig whoopee

[smoky mauve]

That's why indom is 1 if you count it's full size, since it would be considerably larger than giga, it think it's a toss up if you go for movie size

[blissful sun]

I honestly couldn't care less about that. Made no sense. So many moments that were absurd?||How do they meet in the middle of the forest conveniently during a firestorm?||

[smoky mauve]

In the JP universe blind theri > tyrannosaurus

[fierce inlet]

the way i see it, jurassic world dominion wasn't a movie for the average dinosaur fan who is there to see the thrill of the dinosaurs killing each other and humans, it was more meant towards the hardcore fans who cared abt the human characters and the story as much as they cared abt the dinosaurs

[blissful sun]

Blind theri cuts through skin like paper

[gray solar]

HAHA right, but if we start going down that roller coaster well be complaining about convenience for hours

Thats just the nature of movies ig

[smoky mauve]

Apparently they cut out a carno v allo fight from the movie. Like wtf? That would have been the best part

[blissful sun]

It had neither. Barely a story. Just had scenes which were almost exactly the same as other movies with a different environment and creatures

[gray solar]

Sure, but still there was not enough dinosaurs

[blissful sun]

When they introduce the atrociraptors just to forget about them completely a few minutes later

[fierce inlet]

idk man, everyone is saying there wasn't enough dinosaurs i felt there was plenty of dinosaurs

[blissful sun]

||More bugs than dinosaurs||

[devout pilot]

Facts

[blissful sun]

Jurassic World was the best movie of the trilogy. Dominion is dead last imo

[fierce inlet]

all to their own then cause i actually liked the story

[blissful sun]

They could have met ||inside the facility||

[gray solar]

||I wish they had made an extended version of the prologue as the start to the movie, that woulda been sick, especialy with seeing rex die then, and rex not dying at the end, plus more dinosaur scenes||

[smoky mauve]

The isle be like

[gray solar]

That wouldve made a lot more sense

[blissful sun]

how?

[smoky mauve]

More bugs than dinosaurs

[fierce inlet]

what

[smoky mauve]

Bugs as in coding errors

[blissful sun]

[smoky mauve]

Was supposed to be funny

[devout pilot]

Hah

[blissful sun]

ha

[solemn spoke]

||the plot heavily involved the bugs but there was tons of dinos and other prehistoric creatures throughout the movie||

[gray solar]

Yup, and i feel that fallen kingdom was innofensive enough, i was fun enough, but still somewhat forgettable

[fierce inlet]

^

[gray solar]

I got a chuckle from that, just didnt exclain my sheer laughter in the chat

[blissful sun]

All the cool ones had very little screen time and didn't really influence the plot

[fierce inlet]

the change in this movie is that the plot wasn't abt the dinosaurs this time, they were a threat but they weren't the threat driving the movie forward

[blissful sun]

BUT THIS IS THE CONCLUSION TO A SERIES OF DINOSAUR MOVIES

[smoky mauve]

Mission accomplished I will now do a sleep

[blissful sun]

I must leave too.

Cya

[fierce inlet]

fallen kingdom kinda took the premis of dinosaurs being the driving force of the movies away

[gray solar]

I knowww, if this was just another jw movie itd be like whatever, but to be the end of a gigantic franchise, this was dissapointing

[blissful sun]

this movie would have been a good transition to a final movie

[gray solar]

True, thats why i loved the first jw so much more

[gray solar]

EXACTLY

Seeya troofin

[fierce inlet]

the first jurassic world is the last "park go down, escape from dinosaurs" plot which is understandable why people like that more

[gray solar]

That actually does make sense now that you explain it like that

Its more consistent with the plots of the other movies

[fierce inlet]

i personally never had that outlook on the franchise ever since i saw the scene where nedry steals the dna

[gray solar]

The last two focused on the human aspect, which no one cared about except for the hardcore

[fierce inlet]

yeah exactly

the people who loved the characters as much as the dinosaurs probably enjoyed the movie, those who were there 100% for the dinosaurs feel as the movie failed which is totally justified aswell

[devout pilot]

Collin said he wanted the giga to be the joker eh

[fierce inlet]

but i still feel like the movie is getting alot of extra hate, i went to the movie with 3 friends who only wanted to see dinosaurs fight and do dinosaur stuff and they enjoyed the movie

[devout pilot]

the thing barely did anything

But fought a trex

And sallad fingers

[fierce inlet]

yeah that one of their biggest mistakes probably

unless there were scenes were giga was joker and were cut for some reason but that would be even worse tbh

[devout pilot]

Shouldve called the indominus joker

[fierce inlet]

inodominus was the best dinosaur villan by far

[devout pilot]

No cap

[fierce inlet]

because it really was just a sadistic killer + intelligent

raptors and spino felt like they were more or else looking for an easy meal

indo raptor is just ehh, it tried to be indominus but couldn't live up to it

[devout pilot]

The velociraptors in Jurassic park were 2# for best dinosaur villain imo

@lapis dawn with film popularity there are generally speaking two main means of getting popularity

turning a animal shelter from the game into a tropical entrance. Left: after Right:before. Still not done but im super proud so far

switched my settings to ultra to show off better

[flint haven]

What are your settings typically at?(and CPU and GPU? Planning on getting PK at some point)

[prime crow]

i usually play on low and i cant recall my cpu but im gpu is 1060 and from what i hear it actually runs well on GPU at higher settings so im guessing my cpu might need an upgrade

[ripe badger]

hey guys. i posted a thing in paleotalk to prove how rex will always beat giga in a fight irl. take a look at it if u want! thank you.

[flint haven]

Gotcha; running a 1080 with an i-7 4770 right now; planning to upgrade RAM soon so just want to be sure. 👍

i think you will be fine, be sure to expect some bugs and stuff tho, when they say early access they mean it

@rough hollow

On the topic of Mustelids

[rough hollow]

ye so this study shows some stuff about honey badger behaviour, foraging, interactions etc
https://repository.up.ac.za/handle/2263/29895
Here is the fourth chapter which focuses on interactions with other predators
https://repository.up.ac.za/bitstream/handle/2263/29895/04chapter4.pdf?sequence=5&isAllowed=y

so honey badgers get killed by larger predators for the most part (e.g. hyenas, lions)

1.9 I assume

80 for one plane?

Wtf is that price

If I need to buy every single plane to play it, even for 5 $ or less, not thanks

[valid turret]

I don't blame them, they literally replicate the entire plane on a real scale, must have taken a lot of hard work

you get 2 free planes

[finite geode]

Rather months lol

Shut up

Still, if I’m supposed to pay for all planes I’d rather save money for MWII

[valid turret]

The difference is that the stuff thats going on here is happening all the time

[finite geode]

Since like 1948

[valid turret]

yep, we have fought more than 6 wars since then, and still conflicts today

[finite geode]

Israel was created in 1948 right?

[valid turret]

I could explain how it was originally founded, but Im afraid it would count as getting political

[distant stratus]

even evrima has 9 playable so

[near frigate]

Yeah my laptop can’t handle the isle evrima

I’m saving up for a graphics card hopefully that will help

[distant stratus]

hope, and since U5 is coming things may improve

[prime crow]

thanks i spent all day on it yesterday

[near frigate]

Just after update 4 my laptop would die trying to play it since they upgraded the graphics like the ground won’t load

[distant stratus]

Saurian can be a choice to waste time waiting new update, as a single-player game its not very sustainable

[near frigate]

I mean yeah I just want to try it out

[distant stratus]

they have made optimizations in the update, so hopefully

[near frigate]

Yeah

Anyone watch this?

Especially at the specific time code of 7:03

I find the only BIG issue within the video is how X Zaguer details ARK's numbers/playerbase numbers

the math is very simple

Get the average numbers / (divided by) the amount of purchases

[slim stratus]

I’m not watching it, because 1. I don’t like his content. And 2. Because idk how 2 pure cinematic trailers means it’s gonna redefine the genre

[barren bear]

Their average playercount in June is 80k
Last month was 45k
It's usually around 30-50k

Let's put that into 60k

So it's 60k/20,000,000 (Steam purchases of ARK)

You get 0.3%

[barren bear]

This might sound like ARK is "dead"

but look at The Isle or Sea of Thieves

Sea of Thieves has around 5,000,000 Steam players

with only roughly 30,000 players on steam

[slim stratus]

It’s more the fact most of them either stopped playing or play it off an on ye?

[barren bear]

30,000/5,000,000
which gets you 0.6%

The Isle? Get's an average of 3.5k

[slim stratus]

And I’ve seen dead games

Dino d day for one

So any game with tons of filled servers imo ain’t dead, just sleeping or in a low tide state imo

[barren bear]

Which means
If you approximate it's owners

gets you at
3,500/850,000

0.4%

See the pattern here?

I'm not an ARK advocate. But the video details ARK as "Dying"
When realistically, it ignores how many "Unique" players join per month

Popular/Active Indie Games and even Active Triple A games stay at that
"~0.2 to 0.4%" percentile

X Zaguer also stated that the isle was dying in #isle-discussion a few months back infront of Dondi as well

[slim stratus]

HAHAHA

No no no, when there are plenty of people still buying and servers full, it’s fine

Just because there ain’t a trillion YouTubers leaching off of it doesn’t mean it’s “dying”

[barren bear]

I realistically disagree with a lot of what X says.
A lot of it is opinionated, and sometimes there are huge biases on information that forget "the other side" or more information on the topic

[barren bear]

pretty much

[slim stratus]

X is so opinionated And biased I can’t take anything he says seriously

Because when your THAT bias’d I don’t think you can be objective

[barren bear]

Sadly yes. Even with the large amount of time and effort he puts into his videos

[slim stratus]

Remember the legacy vs evirma one?

[slim stratus]

That was so blatantly bias’d I had to face palm

[barren bear]

I really want to make videos in the style he does.

[slim stratus]

“Legacy has more dinosaurs after 6 years so that means it’s better than the game that’s only been around for 2 and a half

[barren bear]

But... scared to get into the same biases that occur within YouTube land

[barren bear]

the one about humans

[slim stratus]

Or bary

“Bary slaps a young deino as flavor text deino gonna be nerfed into the ground!”

[barren bear]

"If developers can't barely create 2 games at once, why is Dondi trying to make three games at once" - summarised

[slim stratus]

We have only been making one faction so far

[barren bear]

Yes. But comparing those factions as their own "seperate games"

[slim stratus]

Yet they claim they can’t do it? At least wait to see how it turns out before saying “yeah it can’t happen”

[barren bear]

is a bit far’fetched

[slim stratus]

I guess cod zombies is a different game from normal cod

[barren bear]

Pretty much. I know we did have the early human showcase a few months back last year
but... it barely showcased how humans worked besides walking, kicking and running

[barren bear]

I guess

[slim stratus]

And saying “no other game has done it so it can’t work”

[barren bear]

lol

[slim stratus]

Is stupid

[barren bear]

[slim stratus]

And idk why people keep comparing the game that had 6 years of dev time put in, to the one that has at most 2

[barren bear]

I understand that "making humans, tribals and dinosaurs is complex"

but. It's not a totally new reach. Multiple faction-based games isn't new.
Maybe in the Survival aspect? Relatively

But it's still not a giant large thing. Especially when UE is designed for human-based combat

[barren bear]

Yeah.
I personally dislike how people say "Game been taking ever since 2015, hurry up devs!! 🤓 "

When this is a very different team (with a few old members)
and a new design philosophy

[slim stratus]

They had to slash and burn the old one, which people ignore

[barren bear]

yep

[slim stratus]

But when OTHER games do the same thing? Eh don’t worry it’s a different team!

[barren bear]

lol

[slim stratus]

When they complain when the isle does it

PK did the evirma style re do 3 damn times

[barren bear]

I believe it's mainly due to Evrima being just "another branch"

[slim stratus]

Saurian did it 2 times

[barren bear]

how old is PK?

[slim stratus]

Started around 2014

[barren bear]

yeah, thought so

[slim stratus]

So same time

And they don’t have an excuse imo

[barren bear]

I guess it's due to Isle's larger community, sadly

[slim stratus]

Because they were making a park game, that should be the easiest thing to make like ever

[burnt mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/gunter-adventuretime-sick-penguin-gif-7173571

[slim stratus]

It just, annoys me

That this community can be described as hypocritical

Shit that they claim pisses em off they whine about

But then do the EXACT SAME SHIT

[plush jacinth]

PK hasnt been avaliable for 6 years tho right?

and everyone kinda knows saurions is dead

[rough hollow]

gaming communities in general are toxic, and I would say this is a massive clusterfuck as far as communities go

you have people from different online spheres of interest, and all of them fail to understand the issues the devs have to struggle through, and that its not because they are exceptionally stupid or lazy that they are facing said issues

society 😭

[plush jacinth]

i think alot of people do understand the issues the devs have to deal with but alot of people have also been here since the begging

obvousily ya gonna have people who just complain or ignore anything but thats gonna happen with anything

[rough hollow]

Hunters don't destroy everything man

[rose crow]

Thanks fart pigeon

[rough hollow]

👍

[rose crow]

Anyways, there is something that happens in ecosystems

[finite geode]

@rose crow hunter kill healthiest specimens. In nature the weakest ones die

[rose crow]

Some do

Hunters on population control don't

[gaunt bramble]

Hunters are not bad in germany, they are needed

[rose crow]

they kill the overabundant animal

[gaunt bramble]

Because wolfs and other big predators did out

[rose crow]

In Sweden, for example, we NEED to kill moose to keep the ecosystem in check

[rough hollow]

hunters aren’t bad, poachers on the other hand are the scum of the earth

[rose crow]

^^

Fuck poachers man (and I dislike trophy hunters but if they are okay by the state they are usually fine)

[finite geode]

Because you killed all wolves

[gaunt bramble]

Because poachers killed them like 120 years ago

[rose crow]

Yes

[rough hollow]

I think there was a recent video of a guy shooting a giraffe, not sure how it was allowed but yeah

[rose crow]

Because they killed us, we killed them back. We were better at it

[finite geode]

And now mooses can’t defend from wolves. It’s because hunters are using dogs. They stopped to defend and started to run away. Works with hunters but not with wolves

[gaunt bramble]

Wolfs have a big skill issue

[finite geode]

Wolves never attack humans unless starving or rabid

[rose crow]

Due to that, however, we need to kill moose at certain times and it is called "Älg sesong", or moose season. Where we, as the name almost implies, kill moose.

[rose crow]

Or kill children, which they certainly do.
Or kill cattle or similar.

Or kill dogs, cats and other pets.

[gaunt bramble]

This dude does not know how pop control works, I think he is one of those carno players

[finite geode]

They don’t kill children unless staving or rabid as o said

[rough hollow]

I doubt anything other than a human with a 12 gauge could actually take on a moose so I think it’s fine

unless you’re a bear, but even then

[rose crow]

No need to insult when there is room for improvement

[rose crow]

Of course they do. However they are not common enough for that to be a problem anymore, since we killed off most of em

But they used to kill children, especially hundreds and thousands of years ago

[rough hollow]

Wolves were dangerous back then, they still technically are too, especially to farmers

[wheat vapor]

You mix two job

Hunting and Trophy Hunting

Hunting is about Manning wildlife, feeding, stop pests, infectations, illuminating dangerous subparts, help at birth, studying, protecting, security, and you have to document them

Trophy hunting is a form of harvest when an outsider "hunter" pays a fee for hunting in our territory with a permit and with the restrictions of he or she have to document every single data of the animals

-specie
-sex
-age
-weapon that he used
-number of shots (hit)
-number of shors missed
etc...

And this fee which is a good amount of cash goes to the hunter to protect the wildlife and keep it healthy until harvest.

[rough hollow]

a hungry wolf pack could easily just wipe your farm overnight, it’s insane

[wheat vapor]

I hope now its a bit clear
And Hunter are not killers

[gaunt bramble]

Are you a hunter?

[rose crow]

their population, however, still seems to be unstable due to us outcompeting them for food and killing them from fear or sport

[rose crow]

Thank you!

[rough hollow]

it’s honestly impressive how tactical and intelligent wolves are it’s almost scary

[rose crow]

Very

[wheat vapor]

What do you think

[gaunt bramble]

You seem to know what hunters do so, yes?

[rose crow]

I respect hunters
Firmly dislike trophy hunters
Hate poachers with a burning passion

[rough hollow]

at least hunters are respectful when they kill something

[finite geode]

its same thing where i live

hunting is just occasion to earn trophies

[wheat vapor]

Trophy hunting is the way how tourism can be grateful for a hunting community.

[rose crow]

I don't think I could ever work as a hunter, hence why I respect it as a passion and profession

[finite geode]

and as far as i know its the same in europe

[finite geode]

show me any proof of that

[gaunt bramble]

No it isnt

[finite geode]

because ihavent found any

[wheat vapor]

Its our job to give trophy hunters a healthy hunting ground

And for me its to keep pests out

[rose crow]

Alright, when humans migrated into scandinavia they found wolves. Children wandering into the woods + wolves = death

Bears and wolves do the same in that place

[finite geode]

if wolves are hungry and dont have enough prey? yes

[gaunt bramble]

In germany there arent any wolves except a few hundreds, which were brought back

[finite geode]

we have wolves here in poland, kids walk alone in forests and no one dies

[rose crow]

Or because they see a clumsy, goofy looking, naked, upright standing human with no form of defense

[wheat vapor]

Hunting of wolves is closer to protecting wildlife than pelt hunting or trapping

[rose crow]

Yes, that is because your wolf populations are in the hundreds rather than several thousand

[wheat vapor]

Since by nature canines and cause major problems

[finite geode]

wolves just run away from you. no need to hunt them anymore

even if in past you had purpose

[wheat vapor]

In both deer elk boar and in avian population

[rose crow]

Hunting coyotes and dingos are common for people in Australia and North America

[pine abyss]

Wolves / coyotes kill dogs here in the states.

That's why coyotes are legally kos as they're considered varmints by some states.

[rose crow]

If it is a big and scary adult human, yes. But wolves do kill, they aren't passive or anything, they will kill you if you aren't careful and respectful.

[finite geode]

Well yeah, I'd reccomend you a book, but it doesnt have english translation. explains swedish problem too.

[pine abyss]

Dogs/ livestock

[wheat vapor]

Because around 12 million of them live in Australia

+they mixbreeded with wild dogs

[rose crow]

Dingos are a big problem since they aren't native

[gaunt bramble]

Actually?

[rose crow]

Yeah, they are just wild dogs, let loose from ships in the 1700's

or was it the 1600's?

[pastel frigate]

Kangaroos are a big problem in Australia too. They get culled regularly

[finite geode]

wolves are more afraid of you than you of them. trust me

[rose crow]

That I know.

[wheat vapor]

Australia doesn't have a canine predator besides the Tasmanian tiger before humans

[rose crow]

Tasmanian tiger is not even a canine

[finite geode]

and what's the point of hunting them now? they dont eat childern

[wheat vapor]

I'm confused

[rose crow]

The tasmanian tiger is a marsupial, or was I should say.

[rose crow]

We don't hunt them in Sweden 💀

[finite geode]

there was one attack here few years ago. but that wasnt real wolf, it was pup stealen by humans.

[pastel frigate]

They destroy live stock and an over population of wolves could destroy an eco system

[finite geode]

because there's like 300 left

[rose crow]

"Wolf hunting is legal in Sweden and it is closely regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency. This season hunters can shoot up to 22 wolves though that quota is divvied up among five different counties in central Sweden."

[wheat vapor]

+wolf pelt is money

[pastel frigate]

I meant live stock not crops

[wheat vapor]

pelt hunters are pretty rare but you can meet with them

[rose crow]

"The wolf. There are some 400 wolves in Sweden. The wolf is protected and may not be killed unless there are risks for repeated attacks on life or property. The wolf feeds mainly on the moose."

[pastel frigate]

Too many of any animals is bad for the environment

[gaunt bramble]

Dont they just do the same except they are selling the pelt?

[finite geode]

lol just saw i wrote 30

[rose crow]

Potato tomato, what's the difference

[finite geode]

Tell me, what's the point of hunting them now? You dont need food, animals dont attack you, you showed them you're stronger. Their population will be fine just leave them alone

[pastel frigate]

Population control

[rose crow]

As stated, we don't really hunt them in Sweden unless they are too close to humans

Because they eat farmers property

[wheat vapor]

They call the canines in
mostly in breeding seasons.

Or place out paw traps and then manually dispatch the dog with a well-aimed shot through the head.

[finite geode]

when is "too close"?

[rose crow]

When they are in the vicinity

[finite geode]

if they dont have enough prey or few pack members got killed

[pastel frigate]

When they go after livestock and consider livestock prey, the wolf needs to be culled

[gaunt bramble]

No because its easy food

[rose crow]

Or if they see a cow wandering around and just eat it

Cows are a lot less difficult than moose, believe me

[pine abyss]

Usually indicative of a lack of prey items in the area.

[finite geode]

if you let go cow to go to forest, then they consider it as new animal in forest

and hunt it

[pine abyss]

Ask anybody in the Canadian bordering states why people hunt wolves, it's because of livestock threat.

[rose crow]

Or if they are out in the field, grazing, as cows do

[wheat vapor]

I won't underestimate a Scottish woolly cattle

[rose crow]

and a wolf sees em, and grabs them

same happens with hens and foxes

[finite geode]

they wont touch farmers livestock to dont risk meeting humans, if they can hunt wild prey

[wheat vapor]

She might look lovely and kind

[rose crow]

You underestimate wolves

[wheat vapor]

but hell she can protect herself

[finite geode]

if pack was 7 wolves, and humans killed 2-3, they will risk attacking livestock

[pastel frigate]

Livestock is generally easier prey for the wolf my friend

[pine abyss]

^

[wheat vapor]

Maybe

[rose crow]

"In contrast, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) reported 2,835 cattle and 453 sheep killed by wolves in the same region and year."

[gaunt bramble]

Sheeps are ez kills

[pine abyss]

Shoot a wolf, and the others wont come back. That's how coyotes are too.

[rose crow]

I was talking to frogclaw, scottish woolly cattle are a different breed

[finite geode]

but they are afraid of humans and wont risk attacking it if they can hunt wild animals

[wheat vapor]

onderstood

[pastel frigate]

"In contrast, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) reported 2,835 cattle and 453 sheep killed by wolves in the same region and year."

[pastel frigate]

No they’re Scottish dogs clearly

[rose crow]

Englishmen fear them

[wheat vapor]

Fur sure

pun intended

[rose crow]

Anyways, hunters are essential to most parts of the world

[finite geode]

i do?

[gaunt bramble]

.

[wheat vapor]

Thank you

finally, we are not mindless killers in someone's eye

[finite geode]

where is it from?

[gaunt bramble]

Ask wheelabout

[finite geode]

and why'd you need humans as "population control" when you have natural ones? just dont kill them lmao

[rose crow]

National Agricultural Statistics Service

[finite geode]

country?

i can read lmao

[gaunt bramble]

They didnt know it.

[pastel frigate]

USA, Colorado State University

[wheat vapor]

We tried that out.

Mother Nature able to fock up everything very quickly and then take her time to repair it

[rose crow]

USA

[pine abyss]

Too many predators drops the prey numbers, thus they push into populated areas and because nuisance animals.

Same shit with black bears.

[rose crow]

^^

[finite geode]

sorry idk about USA case wont be able to tell anything

[pastel frigate]

It’s really not a hard concept to understand

[rose crow]

Predator - Prey relations are too delicate to simply let turn out like anything

[finite geode]

if they dont have prey they will just starve, young ones wont survie and population will drop

[gaunt bramble]

They are telling you facts and you are not calling them valid cause USA?

[wheat vapor]

of you luv wolves well you can luv them one will kill your "dog" accidentally because he or she is a wolf.

[finite geode]

i am not able to tell anything vaild about USA

[pastel frigate]

No they’ll push into human habitats in search of food…. Look at the statistics

[finite geode]

I was only interesed about europe

[rose crow]

Most wolf hunting goes on in Canada

And USA (Alaska)

[wheat vapor]

Most wolves even have a tracker collar which helps hunters to identify the kill

[rose crow]

As well as Russia

[pastel frigate]

Europe killed all their wolves during the big bad wolf era so they don’t have as much of a problem

[rose crow]

Romania has a weirdly large amount of wolves

[pine abyss]

That's not what the data shows. Bears will just dumpster dive through suburban trash. Wolves will feed on the urbanized animals like oppossums/raccoons/squirrels/peoples dogs/livestock.

[rose crow]

2000+

[gaunt bramble]

Now the have a problem with the other wildlife because no predators

[rose crow]

Hence hunters

[wheat vapor]

so as Hungary and Serbia...
Scotland also has a few wolves but we mostly have foxes there.

[rose crow]

Foxes are plentiful in most of northern europe due to them not being demonised as well as them not being large threats

[pastel frigate]

If you’re hungry, you don’t just lay down and die, you search for food, wolves do the same, any predator would do the same

[finite geode]

well yeah why there's prey missing tho?

[rough hollow]

Foxes

[rose crow]

Because they ate them

[pine abyss]

Because they over populate.

[pastel frigate]

Over population of predators

[pine abyss]

Thus the state issues tags for wolves to solve that.

[pastel frigate]

Again, not a hard concept to understand

[wheat vapor]

Do not skin sick fox

I tried it

[rose crow]

More prey = more predators
More predators = less prey
Less prey = less predators
Less predators = more prey

And repeat

[wheat vapor]

It wasn't a pleasant time when the belly has living worms in the bloody carcass

[rose crow]

However considering cities have plenty food

[pastel frigate]

We have to balance the populations

[rose crow]

hungry animals usually wander into cities

[wheat vapor]

I hate fox skinning

[pastel frigate]

California has a big problem with urban coyotes

[finite geode]

well yeah, i wonder how is it possible that there's more and more woves here, and prey is still present, and they dont attack livestock, unless its destroyed pack coming back from belarus.

Wolves are killed there, other wolves come to claim free territory, most of them dies so they come back and hunt livestock

[rose crow]

Be it jaguars, foxes, bears, boar, moose, deer, lions, hyenas or geese

Stuff finds their way into cities

[pastel frigate]

Not all eco systems are the same either

[finite geode]

and when did we let nature control itself?

[pine abyss]

Less of them are being shot in California. Not to get into politics, but the state officials aren't culling them fast enough to keep up lol.

[finite geode]

we used to hunt for food, then to "population control" but never just let everything alone

[pastel frigate]

Yeah it’s getting pretty bad ngl. I hear coyotes out on my street every night. They’re a gang of about 12 or so

[wheat vapor]

huh, I have weasel and ferret problems

And I can't kill it

[pastel frigate]

Because it’s can be detrimental to the economy and the environment to just let them be

[finite geode]

and killing the ones who attack livestock is ok, killing to reduce population even if they just stay at forest isnt

[gaunt bramble]

Because we cant if we dont hunt them now they become a problem

[pine abyss]

I hear droves of them up here in WA. Thankfully we're outside city limits.

[wheat vapor]

Any good tips or help?

Weasel and Ferret

[pine abyss]

Fox piss?

[pastel frigate]

Trap them

[gaunt bramble]

Get an attack squirrel

[pine abyss]

Or a terrier with a play drive.

[pastel frigate]

My brother has a sheep dog and a barn cat to take care of the pests

[pine abyss]

Actually an outdoor cat would probably do the trick.

[wheat vapor]

I have a German Shepherd and just because she is German she follows orders but doesn't know how to kill

[burnt mulch]

@hardy phoenix

(Hello.)

[hardy phoenix]

Yes

[pastel frigate]

This sheep dog shreds everything to bits

[wheat vapor]

It would probably kill the weasels but against the ferret?

bloody hell what if the ferret takes away my cat?

[finite geode]

ferret would just beat cat lol

[pine abyss]

A couple outdoor cats then 😂

[pastel frigate]

Get sibling cats

[finite geode]

^

siblings should at least tolerate each other in their territory

starngers might dont like each other tho, in extermal cases they will never accept each other

[wheat vapor]

Do you know what is annoying in this bitch gal ferret?
That she might has a few newborns and she would like to kill my pigeons

So I'll buy traps

[finite geode]

and if you get cats, dont expect them to kill ferret, they might force it to leave tho

[finite geode]

traps havent worked for me

[wheat vapor]

promising

[finite geode]

cats dont hunt bigger or same sized prey, and they usually hunt solo

[pastel frigate]

Traps are best for small animals to big for a cat to get, just need the proper bait

[wheat vapor]

A pigeon would be a good enough bait?

[finite geode]

i tried everything, caught only hedgehogs and my cat

lmao

[wheat vapor]

I hope you didn't dispatch your cat

[finite geode]

lmao

[wheat vapor]

balcony

[finite geode]

no, and he's scared of that trap now, he never comes close lol

ferret acts like it knows its a trap, sometimes even shitting it

[wheat vapor]

And the hedgehogs?

[finite geode]

but never comes inside

[finite geode]

they just wanted to eat eggs, i let them go

[wheat vapor]

That's kind from you

[finite geode]

why'd i kill them anyway?

[wheat vapor]

I would used them for bait

[finite geode]

that wouldnt be goo bait lmao

you think ferrets can ever eat hedgehog?

try things they normally eat

[wheat vapor]

of course not the whole carcass

hedgehog meat

*flesh

[finite geode]

i dont think theyd eat

not their prey

[wheat vapor]

probably only because of the spikes, but the meat itself...
that might be a bit more attractive

[finite geode]

have you tried rabbit tho?

[pastel frigate]

Poor hedgehogs, I had one as a pet for about 8 years

[wheat vapor]

Do you mean hare or house bunnies?

[finite geode]

also you know you can tame ferret? try it if you catch it

[pastel frigate]

Ferrets are commonly kept as pets out here

[finite geode]

wild ones

[finite geode]

same

[wheat vapor]

I would rather fry her on a pan and make ferret pie!
I had no intention to tame that bitch

[finite geode]

i know someone who trained his ferret like dog lmao

[finite geode]

it doesnt know its annoying for you lmao

just trying to survive

but i understand why you hate it lmao

[wheat vapor]

probably

[finite geode]

try taming it just for fun lol

if you fail just take it away, really far tho

[pine abyss]

Weasels only domesticate if you get them as young.

[finite geode]

5km +

[pastel frigate]

Yes just knock them out and shove berries in their butt like in ark

That’s how you tame a wild creature

[finite geode]

lol

just feed it and dont hurt it, it might trust you after some time

[wheat vapor]

I have a decent-sized shovel...

[pine abyss]

Feed it the right kibble for those extra levels

[wheat vapor]

Falcon taming a ferret

[finite geode]

itll give you exp boost remember!

[wheat vapor]

but at this point, I just want to hold her like a happy kill in my hand and throw it on fire along with its nest

Ferret problem can be annoying when the bitch thinks it a great idea to chew on the cables in the engine bay

[finite geode]

you really think its doing it to make you angry?

[wheat vapor]

Whats her intention?

[finite geode]

it's just instinct, i dont remember what chewing cables mean tho

[wheat vapor]

being pesky

[finite geode]

uh internet says its just toy probably

[wheat vapor]

t o y

And do you think it's cute?

[finite geode]

its too stupid to understand its destroying something yours, for her its her territory

[wheat vapor]

I should stop tryin to kill her then?

Admit that she win?

[finite geode]

just catch it and then take it to wild place without humans far away from you

[wheat vapor]

and its nest?

[pine abyss]

Yeah, trap and release first.

IF that fails, it is what it is.

[wheat vapor]

and the nest?

[finite geode]

babies will die if you take away their mother or even touch them

if you touch them she will scent human and might abandon them

[wheat vapor]

so its cat and snake food

[finite geode]

you can wait till they grow, they will go away to look for their territory, they shouldnt be problem for you

[pine abyss]

They grow within a few weeks.

[finite geode]

^

[pine abyss]

I only know this cause I've had ferrets lol

[finite geode]

then mother will chase them away so they find their home

[wheat vapor]

Ferret is here since 27th to 28th of May

[finite geode]

well yeah, mating season started

babies are born already?

[wheat vapor]

And wheres the focker?

[finite geode]

if yes since when?

[wheat vapor]

I have no idea I just occasionally see her in the backyard and very protective of my old wooded shack

So its nest might be under the flood or in the roof rack of the shack

I don't know

[finite geode]

are you sure she has nest?

it doesnt have to be in your home too

[wheat vapor]

not sure

[finite geode]

might be in nearest neighborhood

[wheat vapor]

probably

I still hate her though

[finite geode]

well at this point babies should be grown

she isnt very loud anymore right? like dancing in attic?

[wheat vapor]

it still does sometimes

like screeching her claws on wood

[finite geode]

but it isnt loud as hell and screaming?

[finite geode]

thats just marking territory

[wheat vapor]

not loud

[finite geode]

then she already had babies

they are probably grown already

[wheat vapor]

Good news

thanks!

[finite geode]

dont worry about them unless you see her carrying big portion of food somewhere

but it would be super weird if they were still young'

itd be very late offspring

[wheat vapor]

just attempted to break into my rabbit boxes

[finite geode]

ok ill go sleep now, cya

[wheat vapor]

Sleep well it was a nice talking

[finite geode]

well yeah, doesnt mean she wants to kill it for babies

try rabbit as bait

cya

[wheat vapor]

I will

bye
