unlabelledView post →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.

unlabelledView post →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.
unlabelledView post →Watching #Pathogenic gameplay, and I feel the human was like the Mr. Burns gif. IE delicate equilibrium before the killer virus/thing (you) came in.

unlabelledView post →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
