Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Well obviously if it has a benefit that's different but if it's the dodo of the flora world then iono
Plants form a very important part of the food web and plants going extinct often fucks over a bunch of animals.
I would find it difficult to care if you went extinct.
if 50000 humans are worthless than 50000 of any kind of life is worthless.
You mean, like...
Humans?
Pretty much on every project, yeah.
If the total population is 6 billion plus, then 50k is totally worthless. That goes for fish, plants, people etc.
The sad truth is that humanities contribution to biodiversity is a mass extinction event.
well that is the whole point of life.
to live as long as possible.
I thought it was to have as many surviving offspring as possible.
Vanilla has been the prime offender since the transition.
"somethingsomethingsomethingvanillasuckssomething" WHAT WAZILLA WHO SAID WAZIL... oh...
They're the worst
the only reason to have offspring is to give a species more time to learn how to live forever.
Or a mosquito.
Whatever bro, sometimes we do phage library screening.
Generate fuck tons of biodiversity when we do that.
I mean, in like a technical sense.
The Dodo wasn't stupid though, nor poorly adapted to it's environment - it was just annihilated by European explorers. The same thing would've happened to Whales, Seals and Penguins in the Antarctic and around the world had we not banned hunting them.
Pros: Boobs are ridiculously big
Cons: Eww anime
Yup, live as long as possible. Spread your genetics. Keep the species going. And be lucky enough something doesn't come along and wipe you out in one giant swoop.
Because the universe has a hell of a diverse set of ways to blow the living shit out of all life. Some exciting like a super nova or an asteroid others boring like just having a planets atmosphere burn off or float away due to a lack of gravity.
But life also keeps trying and trying no matter how often the universe tries to cleanse it.
I think they're a thing you either get used to, or get good at faking. I was very much in the latter camp.
The giant assholes would be missed.
@winky and @Nova_C we have unfinished business.
Though I would also be down for a new game.
they are important for pollination and other stuff, dog
Where did my dog go?
SKIPPY!
sorry!
some aliens came and said they'd eradicate smallpox if I traded them all of earth's dogs!
no, I mean the other way around.
the universe has life because it wants to find a way to prolong its own existence.
quit trollin
Also spreading Malaria, Dengue and a whole host of infections. Mosquitoes are pretty much ass hole carriers of disease. Also tough as fuck, we have tried wiping them out for the last 60 years and have failed.
you start in a jungle tree right next to a mushroom island chain
good thing we still have cats 8-)
in the same way that natural selection works.
It was also coevolved with a species of tree that no longer reproduces on its own, without the dodo to eat it's nuts and partially digest it's seeds.
DOUBLE WHAMMY
We win at killing off other species.
We are the best!
The fuck?
Smallpox? Not Largepox? Not even Grandepox?
My doggy was so cute.
