        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

            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.

      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.

      Bone maybe, but leather and first have practical reasons related to temperature. Any camo benefits are incidental.

    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.

      Ants “see” mostly by smells. This would probably smell like another ant and thus wouldn’t be bothered.

      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.

    We already had an Ocean Soulslike (Another Crab’s Treasure). Now we need a Bug Soulslike.

        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.

          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.

      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.

    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.
