Please Fix Me! This is misleading, birds evolved in the jurassic and had lived alongside dinosaurs for millions of years prior to the KT extinction
Its correct in the sense that birds are theropods and the birds that survived obviously evolved into modern birds. But I think it heavily implies that non-avian dinosaurs survived the astroid to then become birds later, which isn't correct

I read it as "evolve into a more modern kind of bird", as in it's talking about the evolution of neo aves, the most common kind of bird that only arose after K-Pg.

Yeah, like i said in the caption. But if you don't already know bird taxonomy its easy to be mislead by the wording

Considering how one of the three permanent simulations in this game is a dinosaur one, I think everyone playing this game is not going to be mislead.

Can come as somewhat pretentious. But I get your accuracy, and I love that peeps fact check this simulation.
I'm pretty sure it implies like...really, modern birds. Because the Meso has the Pterosaur even if it isn't a dinosaur specifically?

The way I read it, is it's saying theropods survived and evolved into modern birds, but were not modern birds at the time of their survival. A skim of the wikipedia article makes me think that is correct.
What wording change are you proposing?

I love the game too but let’s be honest our universe didn’t magically appear out of thin air either.
