    I could fuck up a bunch of geese, I bet

    they quack a big game but they got hollow bird bones and a neck that's practically built for wringing

    as far as people go, I could handle one person of average health, I think. I always carry my penknife with me, so even if I lose, they're gonna get a pretty good shivving

    edit: also two average dogs, not like, mastiffs, and one wolf, maybe.

    A goose bit me while I was fishing once, no human is taking on a human-sized goose.

    Have you seen the Untitled Goose Game trailers?!

    A person-size skunk would be a hell of a home defense system, but the tail would basically knock over and smash everything all the time.

    Birds are very light for their volume, for obvious reason. The largest bird still able to fly is 18kg. Scaling that dove to 80kg would probably be a 12 foot affair.

    Sheep are a decent suggestion. They can bowl you over, but they have little defenses and are notoriously dumb.

    A human-sized parrot with equivalently scaled up brain size would have super-human intelligence due to their far more efficient avian brains, basically negating our greatest strength over other creatures.

    I think I would just beg for mercy and hope the parrot is benevolent.

    So long as you offer it a cracker the size of a mattress, you should be good to go.

    Also, I want a human sized horse shoe crab or triops.
    How sweet would that be to ride down the street?

    Any time someone ranks only the first like 5 seasons as the best, you can discount it

    Pr is an extremely uneven series but that's just bait for 30 year olds

    The replies note that Chris Hardwick is in the game and Gearbox is one of the only companies still willing to work with him, which I was unaware of

    I suppose that takes me from "willing to buy the game if it's good to support the non-Pickford devs there" to "maybe when it's either $5 or free"

    It's a shame too. The Kinda Funny game showcases actually did a pretty good job of highlighting smaller games that I routinely hadn't heard of until I saw then there.

    Borderlands is a good series if you ignore the plagiarism, Randy Pitchford's involvement, Gearbox's involvement, use of GameSpy, lack of writing, repetitive skinner box gameplay, bad writing, lootboxes, various financial improprieties, lies about microtransactions, Chris Harwick's involvement, and whatever inevitable controversies pop up next because of Randy Pitchford's involvement.
