Not sure if its the case here, but even if their infant isnt with them, nursing mothers will still use those rooms to pump milk --- |

WazzupGenius00 07/29/21 6:01:17 PM #29 | Waluigi1 posted... So I only did a quick google search but the show looks pretty much the same to me now as it did then? What did they change exactly?They switched to using Flash animation (which is not an inherently bad thing, but easy to use badly) and started using a method where each limb/body part is rigged to move independently, almost like a 3D model. Rather than draw every frame they can create poses that the computer can then draw all the frames in between. Its usually very obvious when a show does this, because the computer doesnt really know how to apply the principles of animation, like squash and stretch, anticipation, follow-through, etc., so it doesnt look correct to our brains the way traditional animation does. Heres the first Arthur episode that aired with the new style so you can see the difference. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2dr1z9 --- |

WazzupGenius00 07/26/21 10:31:11 PM #38 | Blowback is a podcast that started just as a history of the Iraq War and after its success has expanded to now be about bullshit American interference across the world, season 2 is on Bay of Pigs Citations Needed is about false and misleading media, PR, and political narratives. An episode I like to recommend is Episode 31: Fake ISIS Plots and the Selling of Forever War. Other standouts to me: 8, 19, 54, 65, 91, 112, 135. There are also many non-numbered shorter episodes that tend to be about current (at the time) events --- |

Topic | so Pokemon Unite comes out tomrrow |
WazzupGenius00 07/24/21 10:43:12 AM #156 | Apparently all scores in the last five seconds of the match dont count. Why do those five seconds even exist then? Also, this is extremely important information the game just straight up doesnt tell you: which moves use Special Attack and which use Physical. I had assumed prior to this that Atk was for basic attacks and SpA was for moves, since I figured it probably wasnt based on how it works in regular Pokmon, and nothing in the game indicates any other explanation for it. Also, if youre thinking about trying the held items that boost stats when you score a goal, you should know they only stack 6 times. --- |

WazzupGenius00 07/17/21 8:47:05 PM #14 | The dual-screen/character controls are a major part of what makes the game so great and is key to the games broader themes.

What makes HW DE better, assuming you just play the campaign and then stop?If you just play the Campaign and then stop you would get a very small handful of extra missions in the Campaign in DE, as well as a few quality of life changes like swapping characters on the fly. However stopping there would be literally leaving at least three-quarters of the game, if not more, completely untouched, including a ton of playable characters/weapons (which are unique play styles just like other characters are). --- |

WazzupGenius00 06/30/21 1:19:55 PM #6 | Nice that it's using the original MP system, I imagine they decided that since 3 was going to need to use it (since it's never had anything else), may as well go back to it for the first game too. Probably means the bonus dungeons are absent too; when they showed all of Bartz's job sprites for V in that video, they didn't have the bonus jobs there either. --- |
