    Watching the video: Oh nice! Moldrise, a Godot game! Oh nice! Pathogenic, another Godot game! Oh nice! Pathogenic is being compared to Slay the Spire 2, another Godot game! Is this what world domination looks like?

    Pathogenic An action roguelike where you’re an infectious bacteria . Vibrant visuals. tight and fluid gameplay, and a wide range of weapons and organelles that you can combine into game-breaking builds. One of the best action roguelikes of this year gameplay-wise. No real narrative elements.

    Interesting video from Jacob that is right up my alley. I'm yet to play Pathogenic, a type of game I've wanted to play for a long while. But I feel like it is making the same mistake as all similar games about pathogens: They don't want to kill their host. Their own survival depends on the host.

    Cool story from Taihong Wu, Yun Zhang and colleagues. Exposure to a #pathogenic bacteria switches #worm behavior from #pheromone avoidance to attraction & promotes mating. A 'reserve' pheromone receptor is induced in an attraction-mediating #olfactory neuron to drive this behavioral plasticity. They even identify a transcription factor that is induced in this olfactory neuron that turns on this pheromone receptor. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022

    [Puts on James Burke "Connections" hat]: Pathogenic could be said to have been influenced by the Intellivision game Microsurgeon from 1982. It's also notable because it was also the topic of a chapter of D.B. Weiss' 2003 novel "Lucky Wander Boy."
