Lmao I knew your username was a familiar sequence to me and I started to say it out loud. Next thing I knew I went full Richard Ayoade with it. 10/10.

Was this person also depicted in the Nioh games?

edit: wikipedia confirmed! Pretty neat

Many species of poison dart frogs derive their toxic compounds from ingesting mites! Even crazier, some molluscs like the Blue Angel sea slug (glaucus atlanticus) can ingest and weaponize the nematocysts from siphonophores like the Portuguese Man O’ War. Nature be crazy

Look around you! Just look around you!

I’m sure I can think of several examples but recently I was replaying the original Darksiders and boy howdy did I get lost all the fkn time

Messiah? It was okay. I didn’t dislike it but it was pretty short and felt largely like one long conversation. I appreciate the atmosphere, it feels like reading a religous text and a history book at the same time. I think I’ll keep going and do Children of Dune next.

Thanks, I hate it

🤓uhm ackhtually centipedes are not insects but are members of a different group of arthropods called Myriapods, along with everyone’s favorite detritivores the millipedes

edit for additional infodumping: their venom injecting apparatuses are modified legs called forcipules or toxicognaths, and they are the only known animal with such features.

Dear media, please feel free to let me know when jones dies. Other than that, shut the fuck up about him. Sincerely, me.

I just started Dune Messiah. I’ve read Dune countless times but this is the first time I’ve decided to keep going in the series.

I have also started the Void trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton. It can go either way with Hamilton so we shall see.

Brave New World has a lot of interesting points and concepts but the writing is really stiff

It is crazy how pervasive this story has become in certain genres! It’s referenced everywhere, Lovecraft being the big one but also True Detective, various FromSoft games, the SCP universe, etc. Super good stuff

I felt the same way! It’s my favorite of the trilogy!

I really enjoy Starship Troopers and I just recently borrowed The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress from my local library so I’m excited to read that

I made it all the way to “The Sword of the Lictor” last year but got sidelined when Wind and Truth came out so I have restarted. Talk about atmospheric/vibes, this series is prettt unique in my experience.

Lmao that last one isnt as less-threatening as you would think it would be, still pretty spooky

CROOOM WHERE ARE THE TWO SNAKES FACING EACH OTHER ( https://youtu.be/OBGOQ7SsJrw )

I respectfully disagree, discovery is a truly awful star trek installment. However I respect your opinion.

good god I love the orville so much
