Need a distraction? Yeah you do. Go ahead and pick one for me.

I'm so basic for this but #Velociraptor. It feels the most rideable into battle.

I like how sleek, intelligent, and sociable they are. That why I enjoyed Blue so much, especially when she was demonstrating empathy.

I also like mamenchisaurs. That neck is really something. I wonder if it's related somehow to me liking giraffes?

Do you like the Brachiosaurus and the Brontosaurus as well? On account of their giraffe-like shapes?

Brachiosaur yeah, brontosaur, it depends on the depiction of it. But with mamenchisaurus, it's neck just seems impossibly long (well some of them anyway).

Yeah now that you mention it, I looked up illustrations and the neck is just comically long... it's very cute.

@murdoc @julianmaiz Unfortunately, the Velociraptor of Jurassic Park/World is made up. The actual Velociraptor is definitely not rideable unless if you're maybe a cat or something.

Aw really? What dino would you recommend then? My second choice is the triceratops, they seem pretty rideable.

@julianmaiz @murdoc I love the Triceratops too!

I'm sorry about this but I took a quick peek at your profile and you develop a FOSS tool called Novel Writer? That's pretty cool! But I'm kinda curious about the advantages this has over a document editor like LibreOffice?

If you don't mind sharing, of course.

@julianmaiz I don't have the time right now, but the purpose and concept is described in the documentation on https://novelwriter.io/

Thank you! I'll check it out. Sorry for the tangent from dinosaurs. But yeah I make short film and I'm interested in branching out into writing other kinds of short stories.

I'll read the documentation. Thank you!

Yeah, I'm not as interested in riding them myself. But if I was, Utahraptor might be a better candidate for that. Really I'm a fan of all the dromaeosaurs, and other small theropods. (I do get to ride all kinds of dinosaurs in the video game Ark: Survival Evolved though!)

Utahraptor it is! Thank you for giving me a new favorite!

Fortunately, the Velociraptor is a member of a group of similar species, and the Utahraptor can get quite large enough to ride.
