My suspicion is it's either Gerson's or it belongs to one of the other Dreemurrs (not Asgore).

Are there any videos or articles with other theories or confirmed answers?

I'm trying to get dog residue for undyne the undying, so I need to know this first.

I am not making this post to celebrate Rise and bash World (by far not), I think each of these have their own strengths, but I frequently read the question of if it's worth to buy Rise as someone who joined in World, so here is my experience.

One thing to keep in mind: I love World and Iceborne. It's my most played game on Steam, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be able to critique it or see improvements - but keep in mind I am limited to 8.5 hours.

The Village: Astera and Seliana was shit. I am sorry to say that, but do you remember the walking time in Astera? Going to the hub, doing a quest with your mate and leaving after every couple quests to refill whatever you planted, or talk to the blacksmith? Or pretty much anything, because the hub only had a kitchen (as something you often go to). Seliana was a huge improvement, but it felt like they overshot the downscaling from Astera. Everything was cramped and every corner had 2-3 shops. The huge benefit was that you had everything next to each other, but at least I didn't feel like someone was actually living there, just shops.

In Rise, the village is big, but you can teleport. Enough said, right? You can pretty much teleport to all crucial (and more) points immediately. Take it like the teleport you had in World, but it actually takes you to the spots you frequently go to. If you want to walk around and explore, you are free to do so - and it's enjoyable.

Skills: This will be an umbrella, but you can exchange weapon skills with new ones you unlock over time. I am not even exactly sure how, but I assume I got them from quest progress. They change some core moves you have and the 2 I got for Dual Blades instantly replaced the old ones. Palicos now have active skills they can unlock and use in a fight (similar to the gear you used to unlock), but they learn them by leveling up. You can't change the skills as you used to be able to, but you can buy as many palicos and doggos as you want, using skills and professions as you need them. Overall, you are not limited to 1 partner, but you can have 2. Yes! 2 times the fun in stealing monster material. And they also have passive skills that increase stats. I haven't fully figured these out yet, but it's a nice extra to find THAT ONE Palico that has everything you want.

The Maps: So first of all, I want to say graphic wise World beats Rise by far. It's a different style and the graphics feel lower, especially if you were using the 40GB high resoluti

I’ve seen running jokes about my last post on the rumored underground pyramid in Alaska that apparently suppresses human consciousness, but I don’t really give a shit so I’m posting about it again. Those who should move on probably know who you are by now, and it pretty much goes without saying that this post is not for everybody.

If there was flair for speculation I would be using it for this post.

I want to start out with a brief synopsis of the origin of humanity as described in the ancient Sumerian texts.

The Sumerians believed human-like "gods" came to Earth and were tasked to make the planet habitable and mine for minerals. The gods felt that the work they were doing caused them too much suffering and the god of gods, Anu, agreed.

Anu's son, Enki, suggested they create man to bear the brunt of that responsibility, so they killed one of the gods and mixed his body and blood with clay, creating the first human hybrid.

These hybrids were unable to reproduce, however, so later on another change was made to allow for human reproduction. According to some, the first two humans with this ability to reproduce on their own may have been the Adam and Eve described in western religions based on the similarities between the two stories.

This alteration was done without the approval of Enki's brother, Enlil, and this sparked a conflict between the gods and mankind suffered greatly.

So the Sumerians wrote that humans were servants to the gods. How would the gods maintain that dynamic?

A good way to keep humans from uprising would be to create conflict among themselves. As Tom Delonge has pointed out, this could be accomplished if humans were too busy fighting each other to realize our potential power.

>To give us hope, false hope or whatever, as long the hope isn’t the same as everyone else we’re not going to get along very well, and why do they want us to not get along? Probably because if we all got along and realized what the fuck was going on we might be pretty powerful. We might be pretty important.

Company Description

Uber is best known for its B2C ridesharing platform, but the variety of logistic-based businesses under its umbrella drive the company's full value. This includes B2B businesses like Uber Freight, which in ‘21 acquired Transplace- a global leader in logistics and supply chain management software- during the early innings of a historic transformation in both industries. Additionally, in markets where Uber could not compete immediately (i.e. China) they invested in leading regional startups (i.e. Didi), allowing them to still profit from the global transportation & logistics transformation while gaining optionality through simple strategic sales. Uber has also developed subscription and loyalty programs, locking in their customer base while taking market share. Best of all, they’re also ramping a high-margin advertising business, practically printing free money from businesses looking to be promoted on their super app. A consistently smart, strategic approach has made Uber one of the great companies to come out of the 2010s tech boom.

Thesis

UBER has been getting hammered nearly all of 2021 for various reasons, none of which are due to fundamental shifts in the business. It's a far stronger company than pre-covid, as the pandemic era forced Uber to increase efficiency & financial leverage, making them more profitable on lower bookings. Return to full volume = Profits like Splash Waterfalls (see: Ludacris). Did I mention the CEO just said they had their best bookings week ever? Additionally, they should benefit from travel news over the next month as it continues to see strong recovery momentum despite Omicron.

Two important calendar events happen annually: Entering the new year and the second half. Funds are always for stocks to drive outperformance in that next period, and in the case of Dec, this leads to supply overhangs from tax-loss harvesting (T

(Note, all of this is designed to be flexible to best fit the budget for flights and accommodation, travelling in a group of 5, The days are not in order only the amount of days in each city and the city order itself. This is so it's more flexible to changes while we are there, we do what is closest to our accommodation first. I want to find places to stay that are the cheapest and best quality for us. I don't want to limit myself to an area to start or finish if it will be more expensive. WIP)

From the very beginning TAR China Rush seemed to have the most unique starting premise of any TAR franchise at the time. After the success of their Shanghai Rush, a ripoff of TAR held entirely inside the city of Shanghai as a tourism showcase before the 2010 Shanghai Expo, International Channel Shanghai got the rights to the official TAR license. It still is a breath of fresh air to see a version of the show so open about its primary purpose to promote its home country.

The casting being open to basically anyone who could speak English and had lived in China regardless of nationality added an interesting dynamic to the show and really enhanced the "tourists in China" angle. Unfortunately, the casts filling themselves up with 50% Chinese participants in CR02 and CR03 sort of undermined this. Oh well.

An interesting thing about the format is that the penalty for quitting all challenges seems to be a flat 2 hours. Detours, Roadblocks, ARIs - you name it. 2 hours for all of them. I think that's the only point on where the format differs from the usual.

I think that's all I have to say in the introduction. I will have to talk about the seasons in chronological order this time instead of from worst to best because certain things will not make sense if I don't do that. Get ready for some all-time great teams, great moments, and solid balanced leg design. TAR Canada could never.

The Amazing Race China Rush 1

I think China Rush 1 is my favourite of the three seasons. It has that raw feeling. It reminds me of a TAR Asia 1 with actually good leg design and a superior endgame cast. As a season, it has very few flaws. It has a great, likable cast from top to bottom, memorable and tough legs with difficult challenges that were also well-designed, and a good repertoire of twists. It would have zero if not for the THREE NON-ELIMINATIONS IN A ROW. Wtf was this? THREE NELs in a row. 3. 1+2. 7-4. 3. The Final Five stretched from Leg 7 alllllll the way to Leg 10. This is one of the worst decisions I have ever seen in a TAR season format-wise. Two in a row was already bad enough, but 3 is just taking the piss. This gets even more agonising when you consider which two teams were eliminated directly before this stretch, and mourn that they were this close to being in 10 full episodes of the season. :'(

LEG RANKINGS:

1. Leg 4: Yangzhou. NANU has this as his 9th favourite leg out of all 1019 legs of international TAR that have ever existed. I thought he was ju

Do your worst!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Hey all, realized I should post my DDs for WSBOGs as well. Enjoy! Original DD
