Night Lords reading this like "nice"

This community is just cool_science_facts now. I am here for it tbh.

We go for the Dawkins definition of "meme."

So what humans have done for millenia in the form of furs, leather and bone?

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah but these guys have exoskeletons so they are cooler. Sorry, I don't make the rules

[–] nul9o9@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Hunting giant insects back in the day would be terrifying, but exoskeleton armor would be bad ass.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 20 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

It's still pretty rare though.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 33 points 1 month ago (3 children)

So they’re the Reavers of the insect world.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

But I thought they were just a legend…

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Q: How does a reaver clean his blade?

A:

Tap for spoilerHe runs it through the Wash.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Like what we do with fur and leather?

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Yeah but these guys have exoskeletons so they are cooler. Sorry, I don't make the rules

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.

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.

Half /s

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.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 5 points 1 month ago

Hollow Knight?

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] Aarrodri@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

That must be terrifying to see at it's scale. Wtf.

[–] clif@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

"Nature is fucking metal"
