agreed, though i don’t necessarily think animals has a large gender bias.

maybe fuzzy cute animals do, but just appreciated and liking animals and nature docs is pretty gender neutral in my experience.

though i haven’t exactly looked up data on that…

because it feels off balance.

the level of the horizon is a key part of composition. it effects comfort, balance, and groundedness. when the horizon is not level it will feel disorienting, dizzy, or chaotic. yes, you can break compositional rules for artistic effect, but you need to learn the rules and why they matter before you can do so effectively. the example you posted below doesn’t really make your case. it’s not that great of a photo, rotated or not. to intentionally rotate the horizon to give it an uncomfortable or disorienting feeling is fine if that’s the goal hell, maybe it’s more to feel otherworldly or any other number of things you can derive from it. the point is that you need a reason and intent behind the unlevel horizon. what feeling were you trying to invoke by not having the ground beneath the feet of the viewer?

more like how many animals eat then and get poisoned.

honestly, most mmos that are still getting updated after that long do. one more point for aoe2 it’s still very much the same game

some mmos are up there, but i think aoe 2 is probably one of the most played games still kept active.

RuneScape is now 24 years old, though it basically remade itself twice.

wow is 21 years old

ultima online is still going after all this time, that one’s 28 years old now.

a few old old games like colossal and Nethack still get updated i guess, but i had to look those ones up. I’d heard of colossal cave adventue, a text based adventure game. makes me wonder how ai dungeon is doing these days…

Nethack is a ascii graphics based roguelike. some articles claim that’s the oldest still updated game.
