Arthrospira platensis, commonly known as spirulina, can take on discrete morphologies depending on environmental conditions: helical as the name implies but also linear! theyre shapechanging out here

Aureispira is a predatory bacterium which uses a heptameric "grappling hook" to catch prey and reel itself in then shotgun blast them to death with a type 6 secretion system

Actinosynnema can grow insane branching fractal mycelial hyphae-like synemata structures in agar medium and into the air. they found that guy in New Jersey!

That's fair-- there are many things people like that I don't like, and don't care to put in the effort to enjoying.

But I like videogames a lot and think they're a serious art form, and given how well beloved Soulslikes are, I wanted to think about them some more.

Maybe I will play Tunic again...

the upgrade materials are bullshit for sure, especially in the earlier games. I didn't finish elden ring on my play but I managed to play it almost completely blind, compared to when I went through dark souls 1 where I used a lot of external help

And like... I see this pattern a lot where people get into this state of "other people like this but i don't and i'm missing out." Which is fair and makes sense. But there are so many different games out there tailored to so many different playstyles and tastes that you're going to miss out on something anyway! I started feeling a lot better once I let go of the games that looked interesting but knew I wouldn't enjoy. I also started finding more niche indie titles that really zeroed in on what I liked.
