Yeah, it’s a slime mold - Physarum polycephalum. It’s only new to the general non-protist-nerd public, I guess, but kudos to the Paris Zoological Park for the spin.

I wish there were blobs. You get a few blobs blobbing around and I’m looking a whole lot better.

I have a PS4 and Switch (and a Halobox that I’ll dust off when Reach comes to MCC) but I find myself struggling to buy anything other than a Nintendo exclusive for the Switch. Sure it’s nice to take it off of the dock when my fiancee wants to watch Grey’s Anatomy (I like most of her shows but I can’t handle ER soaps)…

I mean, that’s kind of like saying “I can’t get behind Mario’s hat-throwing mechanic because it’s likely to get left behind in the next generation of Mario games.” We know this is how the Pokemon franchise works now, where new mechanics get introduced and a lot of them don’t survive, especially battle mechanics. It’s…

Yes.

Since the NYC squidpocalypse occurred in this version, are there any shots/scenes showing that occur, or the direct aftermath (as in, a huge dead beast splopped all over downtown)?

At what point do we just say boxing shouldn’t be a thing anymore?  I wonder if in 50 years people will look back in disbelief that this sport even existed in the 21st century.

OMG - this looks brilliant!  there’s a nice gilliam vibe going on.

Quick edit suggestion: That’s not a SkeeBall machine. It is a SuperShot basketball game. The brand of the gaming company is SkeeBall. An ACTUAL SkeeBall machine would be quirky and a bit whimsical. A basketball game ups the douche factor, along with the slurpee machine.

His house looks like a douchey San Francisco tech startup office, including the Slurpee dispenser and the mini basketball game.

Those savannah kittens he spent $30k on are going to tear that house to shreds. 

Not sure social media can fairly be blamed for this article, which seems designed specifically to be insanely confusing.

I read this whole article and I don’t understand a bit of what this situation is about. This shit seems exhausting, I’ll be over here continuing to abstain from social media

Btw, this whole article is kind of a mess and difficult to read/understand. You really ran with that whole “they’re playing characters!” thing to the point of incoherence.

Uh, that wasn’t Seth Simons that Che went after. That was another guy with a similar sounding first name. Close, though.

I’m having trouble following anything in this article.

In other news, RIP Splinter.

She divorced him, people shouldnt be asking her about this. She isn’t required to have an opinion on her ex -husbands criminal behavior. 

There are plenty of regular gaming experiences on the Switch, it’s not like Nintendo is sacrificing those for things like this.

Hooray! More meat for the rest of us!
