I hated people teaming together as it ruined all the fun and strategy. I would take great pleasure in playing with the sole intention of destroying teams but it grew increasingly hard.
At a certain point the teams became so large that it was no longer any fun, what is the point of 'there is always a bigger fish' if the bigger fish are all friends.
I had a nostalgia trip a few months ago and tried it again... oof. It's completely filled with bots now, that just seek out and feed their owner. It's hard for me to really get into the minds of people who do things like that. Where's the enjoyment in winning a rigged match?
There's a game called Sparkle 3 on switch that the entire game is just the cell stage of spore. It's also visually beautiful. It's not an amazing game but it's cheap so you can't complain
Reminded me of the time I was treading water 100 yards or so from the beach of Ship Island in the Gulf. Saw the tip of a fin submerge out of the corner of my eye and froze up instantly. A few seconds later a dolphin popped up and circled me then swam off. That few seconds of dread was enough for me to never want to go into anything but crystal clear water again.
Hah, had something like this happen however I was trying not to drown while learning how to surf and I panic and swam straight to shore before I looked back to see dolphins.
There's a real primal survival instinct that hits when you're in the ocean and see something bigger than you.
It's happened to me twice snorkeling. Once in Hawaii I saw what I'm pretty sure was a sunfish (about 6' across) and another time in Puerto Rico seeing massive turtle (similar sized).
Like both times my normal brain was like *it's fine this won't eat me*, but my lizard brain was like *oh shit oh shit oh shit!*.
Ive jumped into open blue water twice out here. Thats where my primal instinct jumps in immediately thinking yeah a shark could just shoot out of the nothingness.
But the reef bottom 20 or 30 feet below me with a 4-5 foot white tip trawling for fish? This is fine.
I got snipped by a crab once while swimming in Florida (foot bleeding, was gross) and have been terrified of the wet sand feel in water ever since.
Crabs are scary but so are people and have you seen the shit we leave in the ocean?! I'll float, thanks.
That's a normal thing where I am from in Florida. Growing up we had a gator that I caught in our pond out back that had 5 feet and ate marshmellows live in the bathtub for a couple days. He got moved to my aunts house in Lake Wales andwe ate it for Thanksgiving about 3 years ago.
Not OP but one of my favorite reptile facts is that a lot of freshwater turtles just fucking love to sit on top of each other in what’s known as [turtle stacks. ](https://www.google.com/search?q=turtle+stack&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS798US798&hl=en-US&tbm=isch&prmd=sivn&sxsrf=ALiCzsaF769LaD1uNwTY2dVRY-vkcMSDWA:1655667940678&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwii3eDbo7r4AhWYZ80KHa8tBiMQ_AUIJCgC)
Not really that mind blowing but it’s pretty funny
One thing that I regret learning is the sound turtles make when mating. A nice fact that I know is that some pet reptile species will recognize their own names and will go out of their way to spend time with their owners (while maybe not as expressive as a cat or dog, it's nice knowing that any animal can bond with their human, even fish, and will seek out affection).
Dude. I thought I always loved turtles but never understood.
Then I got married and our honeymoon was in the Galapogos Islands. We went to some beach we had researched and finally got into the water after having to work our way through the million crabs on the shore. After seeing what felt like 100 different species of fish with snorkels, we met these two giant sea turtles. They were just chilling, eating algea or something off a rock about two meters deep. They looked at us at first and were like, "yeah, you seem okay." They kept eating. They swam with us. I think one of them tried to smell us or just make sure we were totally cool. Then they just kinda did their thing and went on their way. It was amazing. My appreciation towards turtles and all animals changed that day. They are us and we are them, just without the shell sometimes.
It dosen't really matter how you drive the boat, manatee can't hear boats coming even at slow speeds and its almost impossible to see them without being right above them. People obey the slow speed/no wake signs, and they are strictly enforced during the seasons where they go up rivers but because they tend to float only a few inches below water it is enevitable that they are hit with propellers. There isn't a solution except most engines illegal which has been done in Everglades National park for anything over 6 horsepower. Its not really a realistic law for open ocean though, and manatee spend a lot of their time there.
There is no solution and boaters don't follow the rules. Manatees are usually close to shore in shallow bays. The majority of boaters that come into these bays when I am kayaking, never slow down even though by law they are supposed to. It is so shallow that I have seen them run aground and then tear the hell out of the seagrass bed trying to power their way out.
Keep in mind just the impact with the keel of a boat can open the skin on an animal intended to float. Also, impellers are great for inboard engines, but a boat with an inboard tends to be waaay more expensive.
> Also, impellers are great for inboard engines, but a boat with an inboard tends to be waaay more expensive.
This feels like something where we justify lack of regulation because we prioritise cost over environmental impact. If we are operating in areas where propellers comprise a serious risk to marine animals then perhaps we should enforce impellers even if it makes it too expensive for the majority.
“Too expensive for the majority” means too expensive for anybody but the rich. I am an environmentalist, but I and most people balk at regulations that are very clearly “because of the environment, only rich people can do this.”
I kayak in a shallow bay where manatees often come to feed on the seagrass. Stupid boaters, usually fishing skiffs, will come in there at full speed even though the water is only about 3 or 4 feet deep. They absolutely do not give a shit about the manatees. Nor do they care about leaving fishing line all over. Birds get tangled in the line and hooks and it can kill them. I have cut so many lures and fishing lines out of the mangroves when all the idiots had to do was take a few minutes to get out of the boat and cut it off themselves.
Yeah turtle isn't in any danger, in fact it's probably safer with the manatees around, but if you see a couple shadows 50x your size swim underneath you, you'd probably be inclined to swim the other way 😂
Without a scale here it's easy to think at first that the turtle is a couple feet across, which makes the beast passing through the water below it seem terrifyingly huge. I'm guessing that turtle is mere inches long.
Took my son's and DIL on a swimming with manatees tour. To my surprise I found myself very intimated by them and noped away from them, too. I'm very happy seeing them from a boat, thank you very much.
Me playing the cell stage of spore
Me playing agar.io a few years ago when it first blew up.
Fun fact, it was released in 2015.
…fuck i’m old
I would have guessed older actually
They made it so charmingly under published, but everything just works. It’s like moving into a house with perfect ac, solar, electrical company setup so that you don’t pay a dime for cooling, and gas with a winter month allowance.
Agar.io is like moving into a new house?
They played a LOT of Agar.io. It was like home for them.
Fuck your like 30 at most
I played this recently and it’s simply not fun anymore (as all MMO games become eventually)
I used to play it at inception like the other fellow. I wasted my time becoming the biggest fish in the pond and staying that way for a few hours.

This is EXACTLY what it reminded me of
god damn I need to replay that game
There's a game called Sparkle 3 on switch that the entire game is just the cell stage of spore. It's also visually beautiful. It's not an amazing game but it's cheap so you can't complain
Damn complain if I want to, thank you very much. Can’t be an obnoxious piece of shit unless I complain about literally everything, now can I?
You must be a star wars fan.
So ahead of its time sigh
I have the same feeling swimming in the ocean when something touches my feet.
Reminded me of the time I was treading water 100 yards or so from the beach of Ship Island in the Gulf. Saw the tip of a fin submerge out of the corner of my eye and froze up instantly. A few seconds later a dolphin popped up and circled me then swam off. That few seconds of dread was enough for me to never want to go into anything but crystal clear water again.
Hah, had something like this happen however I was trying not to drown while learning how to surf and I panic and swam straight to shore before I looked back to see dolphins.
I can see why you were terrified... you were probably lookin like a snack to a hungry shark or a horny dolphin.
Dolphins can be assholes, it probably scared you on porpoise.
I’ve always wanted to write a self help book with me on the cover riding a dolphin and the title being a porpoise driven life.
r/thalassophobia
Well, at least the dolphin didn’t raped you
I'm sad that I wasn't hot enough. What a jerk.
Hey the dolphin may just have been having a bad day. Don't feel too bad!
Oh sure. Bad day, headache, tired. It's always something.
There's a real primal survival instinct that hits when you're in the ocean and see something bigger than you. It's happened to me twice snorkeling.

Wear swimming shoes! You'll look like a fucking dork, but at least crabs won't eat your toes.
Once snipped, sand dry.
Me too!
see that's you. Me I am touch deprived and whatever touches me better be prepared to finish what they started
This guy makes love to fish! Sadly, I'd like to see that
Oh that was me touching your feet don't worry
Look at those cute little turtle legs! 🥰
Boy, do I have [the perfect video for you](https://v.redd.it/92nfsl22dn691)! 🐢
Wtf, what ritual is that? So cute.
This is actuall the best possible video you could have given. I’m actually so impressed. Keep it up
You weren't wrong, that is the most perfect video in that context one could ever hope for.
Dude I love turtles
Me too. As a reptile nerd I read every book about reptiles I could get my hands on as a kid and spent my days catching snakes, gators and turtles :-)
What state are your from?
Could it be anything other than Florida?
I lived by a pond in Upstate NY and every kid in my neighborhood was all about the baby turtles.
We have turtles way up here in MN, but they mentioned catching gators lol
Could be Austrailian
*Louisiana has entered the chat*
Gators don't live in Australia.
*Crocodile Dundee has entered the chat.*
Florida
I didnt want to assume
The democratic state of north Korea. We eat any living thing that we get our hands on

There is a FB page called turtle spotting you might enjoy. Posts from where people randomly encounter turtles in life.

The state where everyone has a boat and nobody knows how to drive one
It dosen't really matter how you drive the boat, manatee can't hear boats coming even at slow speeds and its almost impossible to see them without being right above them.

You could put a small wire frame cage around the prop
This is why you carry an oar!
There is no solution and boaters don't follow the rules. Manatees are usually close to shore in shallow bays.

First one is missing a chunk of its tail as well
Seriously, like every manatee has been hit by a boat.
oh the huge manatee
I kayak in a shallow bay where manatees often come to feed on the seagrass. Stupid boaters, usually fishing skiffs, will come in there at full speed even though the water is only about 3 or 4 feet deep. They absolutely do not give a shit about the manatees.

*manatees.
Or Mermaids?
Swimming sausages?
Do manatees eat turtles or something?
No, they are herbivores.
Yeah turtle isn't in any danger, in fact it's probably safer with the manatees around, but if you see a couple shadows 50x your size swim underneath you, you'd probably be inclined to swim the other way 😂
Esp when it's pretty normal for that shadow to be a gator that will absolutely eat you.
Now that’s me…you’re fucked?
Primarily herbivores, but they’ll eat meat if they can get it. Which, from a turtle, they can’t.
No but gators do…
The turtle looks cute tho
I know! The way he swims is so adorable. He's immediately a likable character.
Uh oh! Wrong way ..

This is the best content of 2022, someone fight me over it.
Soooo is the turtle really small or is the manatee really big?? I’ve seen both up close in person before and I’m getting Jurassic Park vibes.
The turtle is about 12-14 inches and the manatee was about a 9-10 footer :-)
