BACK FROM THE DEAD?!
Actually no. Sorry everyone. I wanted to point you to my Twitter, which, while probably less active than you’d like, is pretty much the only place I post stuff anymore.
http://twitter.com/cityfursuits ALSO, I bought a house and live in Upstate NY now. It’s currently like 20f right now and I’m kinda missing Hawaii. But... I own a house!!! So, you know, that’s nice. *makes love with his electric-heated blankets*

Why are Oceandome players buying underwater containers from me? You do know you can buy those in unlimited quantities from Oceanic Cures, at potentially less than 50FC each? I sell them for 50FC each in my stall so players from other regions can get them. If you’re in Oceandome too there’s literally no reason to buy them from me…
Have you ever gotten the offer thing to accept your offer of less than store price?? I never have and eventually gave up trying.
FV vs FR: some observations
Keeping in mind that Furvilla is like, super super in beta still, and I’ve been playing for about a full day, here are the main differences I’ve noticed:
Keep reading
Medicine potency is a skill that must be trained. You start at 15% then every time you make a medicine it goes up by 5%. Mastery in a medicine gives you 100% potency. They’re available, but the game has only been open since July 1st so not many players have mastered medicines yet. It took me 2 days to master my first medicine! xD Crafters and Blacksmiths go by durability, which is how often the item can be used. The higher their skill is, the more durability the item you create is. For weapons and shields, the durability currently goes down by every turn you use it within a battle. For most everything else, it goes down 1 per day. Most items start with 25 durability when crafted.
Recipe failure/etc. is not a thing. Just potency and durability.
Something to note also is taming and gardening. These have failure rates, but they’re skills you train. You start at 50% success rate and for every successful completion of that particular thing you gain 5% in that specific thing.
It is frustrating once you first start but it gets better rather quickly.
By the way I’m B on there (#6131) if you want a friend. =)

princessterminator answered your question “PSA for Furvilla, You can only learn recipes from your own village. So…”
It’s a lazy as fuck game mechanic that forces people the engage in the community to get things they need. It’s an MMO tactic and I don’t appreciate it.
True, MMOs do that a lot but here’s the thing, the way furvilla did it, it actually discourages cooperation. You villagers can’t get sick with anything that can’t be cured within your own village. You don’t need anything from another village, and the only things you can even use are the alchemy potions, costumes and botany pots. That’s it. which are all things that are one and done kind of interactions.
If they allowed us to learn and make recipes from other villages we’d have to have constant interaction to trade for seeds and other materials. and people would trade seeds and materials back and forth not just cash. Also it would create this community of generosity as people are able to help newbies from any other village. like hey my doctor has 100% chance to cure things, if a person doesn’t have a doctor or a trained doctor it would be hard for them to cure anything. Or like, hey don’t have a construction person or they’re busy? sure I’ll loan my villager out for 6 hours to build a house if you provide the materials.
Letting us free reign of all recipes would give people more freedom in how they play the game because they don’t need higher tier jobs, they can interact withing the community for help.
So why not contact them and offer that suggestion? I’ve been doing that and a few of my suggestions have already been implemented.
Remember in 1993 when Jurassic Park was like…the end all, be all of special effects?
not gonna lie that still looks intimately real
I’m still somewhat convinced that someone sold their soul to create the special effects in Jurassic Park because that shit is over 20 years old and it still really, really holds up, better than the stuff in a lot of current movies, even.
Fucking witchcraft, man.
fucking look at this shit though
Literally see this post flying around with a few different responses added to the bottom each time so I’ll say it for this one myself:
THEY ACTUALLY BUILT A GIANT MASSIVELY DETAILED FUCKING ANIMATRONIC T-REX FOR ALL OF THIS THAT’S WHY THE EFFECTS ARE SO GOOD. CAUSE IT AIN’T CGI. AND IT AIN’T GUY IN A COSTUME. IT’S A BIG FUCKING ROBOT DINOSAUR. AND EVERY PART IS DESIGNED TO MOVE. IT COST LIKE HALF THE BUDGET OF THE FILM.
amazing
And they had the film it in small increments, especially in the outdoor scenes, because the rain fall kept soaking into the ‘skin’ of the rex and would slow down and mess up its movements. So they would stop filming and have a crew out there drying off this massive, fake dinosaur, and then they’d start filming again until it was too wet. Repeat until the end of the scene.
They used animatronics and detailed costumes for most if not all of the dinosaurs in the first movie.
The triceratops for instance, was also animatronic.
And the raptors were dudes in suits. I shit you not.
One of my favorite anecdotes I’ve read on tumblr is how the t-rex robot from Jurassic park would malfunction while it was drying out. How did it malfunction, you might wonder?
Motherfucker randomly started moving.
So apparently if you were on the jp set you would sometimes hear people screaming bloody murder even though they were all well aware that it was a giant animatronic puppet and wouldn’t actually, you know, eat them.
(link to said post about malfunctioning t-rex)
Did not know this, had to reblog for awesome movie history insights.
So, I knew about the animatronics bit but I did not know the raptors were guys in suits and the malfunctioning t-rex sounds terrifying.
And i just googled malfunctioning t-rex and was not disappointed. Apparently in order to put the skin on over the steel frame a guy had to crawl inside the t-rex while it was turned on and glue the skin down. And if somebody turned the t-rex off or the power went out the guy in the t-rex stood a very real chance of getting mangled and killed by the hydraulics.
So of course, the power goes out.
And this guy is still in there gluing the skin down.
Apparently the way to survive getting sheered to death by huge sheets of metal while you’re inside a giant t-rex robot is to curl into a ball and hope for the best.
And this guy hoped for the best and got it.
Some other people on stage pried open the t-rex jaws and glue guy crawled out of its mouth and was totally okay.
This is getting better and better.
I think they only had like 6 minutes of CGI
I’m just waiting for the T-Rex to come to life and leave its stand.
@spinosaurus-the-fisher is this the kind of content you love?
Realism comes at a cost, it seems.
i mean ok but why has nobody posted this:
It’s a three piece raptor suit.
Old movies had the best special effects
Harvard has a pigment library that stores old pigment sources, like the ground shells of now-extinct insects, poisonous metals, and wrappings from Egyptian mummies, to preserve the origins of the world’s rarest colors.
A few centuries ago, finding a specific color might have meant trekking across the globe to a mineral deposit in the middle of Afghanistan. “Every pigment has its own story,” Narayan Khandekar, the caretaker of the pigment collection, told Fastcodesign. He also shared the stories of some of the most interesting pigments in the collection.
Mummy Brown
“People would harvest mummies from Egypt and then extract the brown resin material that was on the wrappings around the bodies and turn that into a pigment. It’s a very bizarre kind of pigment, I’ve got to say, but it was very popular in the 18th and 19th centuries.”
Cadmium Yellow
“Cadmium yellow was introduced in the mid 19th century. It’s a bright yellow that many impressionists used. Cadmium is a heavy metal, very toxic. In the early 20th century, cadmium red was introduced. You find these pigments used in industrial processes. Up until the 1970s, Lego bricks had cadmium pigment in them.”
Annatto “The lipstick plant—a small tree, Bixa orellana, native to Central and South America—produces annatto, a natural orange dye. Seeds from the plant are contained in a pod surrounded with a bright red pulp. Currently, annatto is used to color butter, cheese, and cosmetics.”
Lapis Lazuli “People would mine it in Afghanistan, ship it across Europe, and it was more expensive than gold so it would have its own budget line on a commission.”
Dragon’s Blood “It has a great name, but it’s not from dragons. [The bright red pigment] is from the rattan palm.”
Cochineal “This red dye comes from squashed beetles, and it’s used in cosmetics and food.”
Emerald Green “This is made from copper acetoarsenite. We had a Van Gogh with a bright green background that was identified as emerald green. Pigments used for artists’ purposes can find their way into use in other areas as well. Emerald green was used as an insecticide, and you often see it on older wood that would be put into the ground, like railroad ties.”

This helped me understand like all my friends
This is 10000% accurate
YES YES YES
People are always surprised when I say I’m an introvert, because they think it means “hates people” or “can’t function in society.” That first chart is crucial.
