  • I first got to try Sim Ant a lot later than release. I found that I could just fast forward (I don’t remember how, maybe on ZSNES emulator?), and the win rate without touching anything was at least 50%.

    I’d love to see a remake that both allowed for little micromanaging and made your gameplay consequential. Perhaps if they player had a hand in programming the ants’ behavior. Maybe make an Visual Ant Language or something that looks like Scratch and as the game progresses you get more steps to drop in.



  • There’s a ton of nuance here depending on how it’s said. “What’s up” can be said so fast as a greeting that another “What’s up?” is an appropriate response, or my favorite “sup?” Or, it can be asked kind of carefully that it expects an actual answer. Either way, no response is really wrong, but can increase awkwardness if not answering in the expected way.









  • Yep! I don’t get the chance as often as I’d like, plus Helldivers 2 fever has hit, but I still enjoy when I can.

    The modded servers are insane. There’s new horde mode options as well.

    The skill ceiling is higher than ever before, but there is still a good distribution of newbs. I’ve been training my 1vX by concentrating the practice against bot. Do a local deathmatch, spawn a bot and ToggleDamage and ToggleStamina in the console and just play around without pressure. After that, do local Team Deathmatch in Arena, join Red, spawn in training sword and then “AddBotsTeam 2 1”, then since the bots are quite good at circling, run to the side of a supply box and practice 1vX parrying. It’s helping me not always commit to a riposte and keeping myself aware of multiple more things on the screen at once.

    Circa 2008 the wikipedia entry for vampire bat claimed that their teeth were like this. archive.org didn’t capture it at that time, but another page copied the whole thing: https://www.mundoandino.com/Argentina/Vampire-bat

    The bats incisor teeth are hollow, allowing them to suck blood in through the teeth like a straw, the saliva has several ingredients that prolong bleeding.

    My favorite thing about this is: where does the blood go once it hits the top of the tooth? Into the gums? Into the sinuses? Out the back of the tooth and into the mouth, removing the need of a straw in the first place?
