‘You bloody fool’: Australian talking duck can imitate speech

The first documented instance of ducks being able to mimic sounds has researchers reviewing the evolution of vocal language learning in birds

Only in Australia.

I mean, most birds(especially common pet birds like cockatiels and budgies)can imitate speech. The bigger question is, do they understand what they're actually saying?

Got a question for y'all to satisfy my curiosity.

Do you believe in ghosts? What about aliens?

Not gonna give my stance on ghosts here, but I don't buy that Earth is somehow the only home to literally the only life in the entire universe.

Plenty of planets with conditions similar to Earth have already been discovered, so far from impossible, I'd argue it's plausible that plenty of aliens exist.

There's even conditions that could possibly permit life on some Moons, in this Solar System itself no less (Titan and Europa come to mind), even if it's likely just microscopic life. So by definition of life outside of Earth, aliens could potentially be a lot closer to home than we realize.

I just binged all of Centaurworld in a single sitting. It was um...It was definitely a show alright. I think.

Spoiler: Real Thoughts

The humor wasn't quite my cup of tea but the darker opening and fantastic musical numbers still kept me hooked. I really want to see more of Horse's/Rider's world but Season 2 will probably be taking place mostly in Centaurworld again.

Still though, kudos for Netflix for allowing bizarre and experimental shows like this. Stuff like this is needed to keep the industry fresh, and you can tell that some real love was put into it.

Maybe I'll come back for Season 2. Even if I wasn't outright enjoying it I was weirdly intrigued.

Glad I wasn't the only one who didn't remember where his room was & got caught off guard when the cutscene started lol.

That aside, good job, mate.

Dutch Raikuna So how's Tales of Arise been for you so far?

 

[osby]

I'm curious about something.

For a party of seven in a JRPG, what would be the best class choices? I'm trying to compose a balanced set of archetypes, and I'd like to hear other people's opinions.

 

[Metal Shop X]

I made the mistake of looking videos about XB3 rumors again, and now my excitement is back again at the worst time possible.

Why do I love so many franchise when said love is gonna kill me due to waiting?

That's pretty much how I felt when people were bringing up Decidueye as a genuine contender for CP11 a few days ago.

I see this site knows me well

We didn’t expect the Matrix to arise in Smashboards, but the AI was just outdated enough to enjoy the nostalgia of the new Matrix trailer.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Dutch Raikuna So how's Tales of Arise been for you so far?

So far and about five hours in its alright.

Combat and all is fine. Story has been good so far. Graphics have this weird film grain look with the draw distance that annoys me.

Too early to say if I'm going to really enjoy it or drop it at some point.

 

[Metal Shop X]

It's time like this you need to find distraction as they say.

Just gonna quickly pray on my side that the direct happen next week for sure & that we finally get a trailer for XB3.

Regarding the SSBU consistent playerbase... SnakeFighter64 and anyone else who is interested.
what generally do you all think the female to male ratio is?
and what would support improving it?

 

[Metal Shop X]

Now hold on a second.

I'm watching a TAS of ZR, and I just realized something:

Would Samus have been unable to finish her mission if Ridley just....didn't came back on Zebes after Kraid death?

'cuz like, to open the way to Tourian, both Kraid & Ridley need to die, and if old Purple Space Dragon ain't here to kill, Samus is basically screwed. Unless out of bound are canon to the Metroid lore.

I love how you have all these Armada soldiers and unicorns and then you just have Gazpaccio like

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Happy Warioware release day!

 

[Inkling Man]

Anyway, if the Nick Smash game was successful and had DLC, who would you guys want? Cause I'm mostly in it for more TMNT and Avatar stuff. But El Tigre and Jenny would be cool choices. A Miracle City stage would be HEAT!



Yeah probably. Unfortunately, they're the guys I personally give the least of **** about. Outside of DOOM, but that's ID Software specifically, considering Microsoft just owns Zenimax completely. Even now, I'm mostly interested in Rare's IPs, but with Double Fine under them now, I guess Psychonauts can potentially have a more consistent future.

Corporate BS Baby, gotta love, but mostly HATE it.

Now if Phil Spencer had his way, we'd get Voodo Vince 2 by now.

The following characters should be DLC:

• Gordon (Catscratch).
• Otis (Barnyard).
• Fanboy (Fanboy & Chum Chum).
• Donnie (TMNT).
• Raph (TMNT).
• Squidward (SpongeBob).
• Mr. Krabs (SpongeBob).
• Timmy Turner (Fairly Oddparents).
• Jimmy Neutron.
• Tommy Pickles (Rugrats).

MOAR METROID!!

Trailer looks sick, can't wait!

 

[Michael the Spikester]

The next God of War game should have you traveling to lands like Tyr had.

I'd start off small and go with.

Egypt (Egyptian Mythology)
Japan (Japanese Mythology)
Mesoamerica (Aztec/Mayan Mythology)

All while you can even return to Greece and Scandinavia in the process too.

Spoiler: WarioWare GIT

Making you finish a level of Super Mario World for 9-Volt's boss was a cool surprise.

 

[Wademan94]

Noticed this wasn’t shared yet:

 

[Metal Shop X]

Finally started playing AM2R on Hard.


Annnd I already died mutliples time on the first Metroid & died once to the boss of the Golden Temple.

TO BE FAIR, I was still & modifying the control to be more of my liking on the former, the later I almost did it first try, soo I say i'm getting there.

I alos managed to do climb a wall ala Super Metroid walljump & got a missile expansion that I normally should have gotten MUCH later, due to it being locked by a power bomb door the normal, so hey, I didn't lost my touch!..

Too bad I kinda undid my achievement by going back to the first Metroid I fought, thinking I missed anything even though the map cleary shown that I didn't.

I can't read map.

Hello again.

I know I said I'll be taking a bit of a break, but I did this.

I really wish I can draw better...

 

[TheCJBrine]

Is it true Cirno is dumb but is pretty much a genius compared to other fairies?

Because that’s funny.

I don’t know much about Touhou but I’ve picked up on some things, like Reimu really wanting donations (whether purely for her shrine or because “MONEY!” I’m not completely sure but I know she’s sometimes depicted as desperately wanting money).

I just like the music and characters (Cirno’s theme rocks).

The only side effect of my vaccination is that I’m really sleepy.

I’ve been napping off and on all day.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I don't actually mind the way Thor looks in God of War: Ragnarok.

Pretty accurate as the myths depict given the nature of vikings and Norse Gods having an addiction to boose.

 

[Noipoi]

Nintendo is showing way too much of Metroid Dread.

I would’ve liked to discover the Hank Hill boss fight on my own.

Mirage Studios Says Goodbye, and Cowabunga

12 years after selling out to Nickelodeon, Mirage Studios is closing its doors this month, with its website to remain online as an archive only.
