That’s some dark souls shit right there.
I was thinking Warhammer.
Night Lords reading this like “nice”
#nidthings
More like Monster Hunter
This community is just cool_science_facts now. I am here for it tbh.
We go for the Dawkins definition of “meme.”
I have to head off to work, can you give me a quick lowdown on this scientific meme definition?
Meme : Gene :: Culture : Species
A Dawkinsian “meme” is like an idea-unit that can take hold and thrive in the landscape of imagination, developing into culture or philosophy if it spreads widely enough.
That’s a really good definition
Further reading: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme
Good definition! I’ll often say it is a “primary unit of cultural exchange.” I consider a lot of things memes: internet memes of course, songs, scenes from movies, plot tropes, characters, basically any bit of culture that can be encapsulated and identified as a distinct entity.
I think it was a bit tongue in cheek since meme is actually a concept from science (internet-meme is very close to it’s original meaning afaik):
So what humans have done for millenia in the form of furs, leather and bone?
Yeah but these guys have exoskeletons so they are cooler. Sorry, I don’t make the rules
Hunting giant insects back in the day would be terrifying, but exoskeleton armor would be bad ass.
Yes but they are insects so it’s pretty cool
Just imagine if I told you that the cookbug cooks it’s prey by throwing it into fire. You would find it cool despite also doing it.
It’s still pretty rare though.
Bone maybe, but leather and first have practical reasons related to temperature. Any camo benefits are incidental.
So they’re the Reavers of the insect world.
But I thought they were just a legend…
Q: How does a reaver clean his blade?
A:
Tap for spoiler
He runs it through the Wash.
Like what we do with fur and leather?
Yeah but these guys have exoskeletons so they are cooler. Sorry, I don’t make the rules
Great camouflage. Carrying a sack of dozens dead ants on your back does not draw attention at all.
Camouflage through intimidation. If you saw a dude sneaking around covered in human skulls, no you didn’t.
I didn’t indeed. You got a point there.
Like that guy who walked in on Batman and was just like…nope.
I guess spiders don’t want to eat a pile of dead ants, even if it’s moving. Not the sharpest tools in the shed, spiders.
Ants “see” mostly by smells. This would probably smell like another ant and thus wouldn’t be bothered.
Litter bugs (green lacewing larvae) do this as well. Great bug to have in your garden as they feed on aphids, scale, mealy bugs - pretty much all the pests you don’t want on your plants.
Also they are metal af.
We already had an Ocean Soulslike (Another Crab’s Treasure). Now we need a Bug Soulslike.
Isn’t that Hollow Knight?
Too easy, frankly, and the awesome ways you can modify yourself don’t match with Dark Souls. Actually having significant, meaningful differences in your combat isn’t Dark Souls.
Half /s
I’m a dark souls enjoyer who thinks that hollow knight is a gorgeous game with mediocre platforming and decent combat. I’m pretty sure you made my blood pressure jump to unsafe levels
Lol, I do what I can. Let me try harder. I love hollow, and play back through dark souls when I can. Hollow knight’s world doesn’t quite have the same replay value for me. Dark souls doesn’t quite have enough of a game play loop difference to make me even care about the different weapons.
Hollow Knight?
I mean… Yeah? But I was referring to a Full Soulslike game in 3D, and I see Hollow knight more like a Metroidvania with some Soulslike features.
That must be terrifying to see at it’s scale. Wtf.
“Nature is fucking metal”
Same.
dont hate on the style
To attract those bugs, play SLAYER!!!
The Cadaver Collector is real!?
Found Earth’s version of Skinner
