  • I first got to try Sim Ant a lot later than release. I found that I could just fast forward (I don’t remember how, maybe on ZSNES emulator?), and the win rate without touching anything was at least 50%.

    I’d love to see a remake that both allowed for little micromanaging and made your gameplay consequential. Perhaps if they player had a hand in programming the ants’ behavior. Maybe make an Visual Ant Language or something that looks like Scratch and as the game progresses you get more steps to drop in.

    Circa 2008 the wikipedia entry for vampire bat claimed that their teeth were like this. archive.org didn’t capture it at that time, but another page copied the whole thing: https://www.mundoandino.com/Argentina/Vampire-bat

    The bats incisor teeth are hollow, allowing them to suck blood in through the teeth like a straw, the saliva has several ingredients that prolong bleeding.

    My favorite thing about this is: where does the blood go once it hits the top of the tooth? Into the gums? Into the sinuses? Out the back of the tooth and into the mouth, removing the need of a straw in the first place?

    It’s so good, but so hard. Here’s something that has helped me recently. I start a local Team Deathmatch, join red with a training sword, get into a corner next to a supply box, and then ` to get console and “AddBotsTeam 2 1”. It’s really helping me with my double parry/chain parry and keeping my vision processing more than 1 attack at a time. I’ll then give myself a real weapon and have 4 enemies at a time from the same place and just try to survive.
