Presumably yes, but its still down to a roll of the dice whether a mutation like that happens in the first place, and whether the individuals who have that mutation live long enough to breed, and whether that mutation actually gets passed down, etc

“Mammalogy” yeah you chose the correct wojak that’s a weaksauce name
- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 1 week ago:
It can indeed be recycled after it degrades into copper, but it will take far longer that you claim for it to do so.
The half life of nickel-63 is 101.2 years which means that after 101.2 years approximately half of the core will have degraded to copper, then after 101.2 more years approximately half of the remaining will have degraded, leaving approximately a quarter, then after 101.2 more years there’ll be approximately one eighth, and so on. This is how radioactive decay works.
The battery, they claim, functions for 50 years or so, which is probably because after 50 years the radioactive decay has slowed by over 25% (can’t be bothered to work out the actual amount but its at least this much). This 50 years doesn’t mean that all the radioactive material has decayed, just that a portion of it significant enough to render the battery dead/less effective/etc.

Full Celeste is a fucking joy. With experience in kaizo hacks and such you’ll adore the b/c sides and farewell. Maddie is a Mario romhacker, after all

I played the pico-8 version for the first time after the full game including all the B/C sides and farewell, so it took around 100 deaths, but thats with a significant amount of experience for the type of platforming Celeste offers and the type of level design Maddie and co tend toward.

- Comment on What TV cancellation are you most upset by? 3 weeks ago:
If streaming shows are fair game, Final Space. So much passion poured into such an excellent production and Netflix axed it after 3 seasons.

They’re not actually allowed to do that, by my understanding. It must be equally simple to accept all cookies as it is to deny cookies.

I oscillate the lever at a rate such that I cannot know whether the wave-trolley went through while the detectors were on or off, introducing further uncertainty.

If the groundhog day loop is infinite - Truman show.
If the groundhog day loop is finite to a degree I wouldn’t run out of media and art in the world, groundhog day.

Yeah the latter half of my comment expresses that.
- Comment on Ban misogynistic online pornography, review to propose 1 month ago:
On one hand, I’m overjoyed to hear that there’ll be some pushback against unethical porn. On the other hand, not sure I trust this particular individual to be the arbiter.
- Comment on Make your complaints heard about bad games, says Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, but "your $70 doesn't buy you cruelty" 1 month ago:
But you see how this is different right? I boycott the vast majority of AAA publishers too, for the same reasons. That doesn’t mean I cheer when they do mass layoffs. It doesn’t sound like you do either.
- Comment on Make your complaints heard about bad games, says Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, but "your $70 doesn't buy you cruelty" 1 month ago:
Of course there are innocent people, what the fuck.
Be gleeful about it failing to sell, yes. But don’t be cruel. Don’t be glad that people who did their jobs have lost their jobs because a CEO wants to preserve investors’ profits. All the bad decisions that made the game what it was, in a huge company like EA or Ubisoft, were probably because of upper management and not because the people who lose their jobs did their jobs poorly.
Dunk the game on reviews, tell your friends it sucks, hell even laugh at the grumbling of the pre-orderers or the captive audience of fans who will die on the hill. But don’t be cruel.
Be(e) kind.

- Comment on Celeste devs cancel lush platformer Earthblade to focus on smaller-scale projects 2 months ago:
Copying my response to a similar thread
I’m absolutely heartbroken but I respect their decision and it sounds like the appropriate way forward
Celeste came out of their approach before - I’m sure more incredible games can come out of this approach again.
