I’m feelin’ the love. Opening the game to modding to the degree they already have has lengthened the life span of this game for weeks months of additional play time. Making it open source would make it immortal.

I mean he’s right, but to hear it put so frankly is still a slap in the face.

IKR I’m so glad I can pronounce Aluminum the right way.

Oh I liked it a lot. In the early 90s, I had enough UI extensions running that OS7 looked exactly like BeOS. Gaming life was a lot of Bungie and AmbrosiaSW games and shareware games. So many shareware games. I established my first gamer tag at that time when playing A-10 Attack and A-10 Cuba. You want to talk about Nintendo-hard… Bungie’s Myth - The Fallen Lords was super-hard in single player, and the cross-platform multiplayer was amazeballs. I miss that game so much. Did all my Warcraft RTS playing, and waited a few agonizing months for the mac version of Starcraft to come out. Coincidentally, it was around then that I started doing file sharing through Carracho and Hotline

Just to clarify, the fears are that they were looted, and that they have a questionable provenance. Carry on.

1 out of every four species on the planet is a beetle. Category counts =/= population size.

Pretty cool that they found a cat that looks like Anya Taylor-Joy.

I, for one, welcome our AI jurisprudence overlords.

Tina Belcher would be all about that bug

Sounds like he’s started smoking what he’s selling.

“Evolution was so scared of me it made me flightless to avoid global annihilation.”

No, what’s cheating is sticking with Insecta. It’s a short walk up and over to get to Crustacea->Copepoda and we can have more biomass than terrestrial life.

ed: I applaud your work. Science-high-five.

You coleopterans come here, talkin’ big about your beetle shapes and species. I’m only interest in biomass, and class Isoptera has that on lock, with roughly 77% of total soil arthropod biomass.
