If I'd played it when I was younger, I don't think I'd have made it very far to be honest! I've probably got a bit more patience and experience nowadays, hence finishing it on Switch. But I'm in no rush to 100% the game unlike some other Mario games (which tend to actually be fun to complete).

Lol! Do you just feel that 64 is a better game, or has better level design?

Heh, funnily enough I did pretty well back in school. But it's been quite a while since I've learnt this stuff and it's not something I ever specialised in. And when I did learn it, it was essentially just a series of facts that you had to memorise. 'The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell' etc. etc. So the second I passed that exam, I don't think I ever went back to reinforce those memories.

Hearing about genetic dominance again did give me an 'ah, of course!' moment. If you are able to recall everything you learnt in school (including subjects that you may not have had much interest in), then congrats on the impressive memory :)

So just to be clear - are you predicting that this new Switch will release in the window just before xmas 2024, as announcing a new console now and not releasing it for a while is tantamount to shooting their christmas sales for the original console in the foot?

If so I guess it depends - will the new console be backwards compatible? If so, people will likely continue to buy games now in the knowledge that they can upgrade later on. And there have been rumours of a new Switch for a while. I suspect most people who wanted an OLED Switch by now would've got one. I feel like they could announce the console now and release it after a year or two, without hurting themselves too badly.

I'm actually quite hyped for Steamworld Heist 2! The original was one of the first games I got on Switch - kept me entertained for a good while.

I've always changed depending on the weather. Slippers in the winter, socks 80% of the time and barefoot when it's (occasionally) warm enough. Is wearing slippers just what you grew up with, or is there a reason?

The camas root? https://www.fs.usda.gov/wildflowers/plant-of-the-week/camassia_quamash.shtml

Common camas bulbs were considered a delicacy by the Native American tribes within the range of the species including the Blackfoot, Cree, and Nez Perce. Bulbs would be steamed or pit cooked for one to three days breaking down complex carbohydrates into ample amounts of the sugar fructose. A full one third of a bulbs cooked weight becomes fructose when prepared in this fashion. Native Americans would dry out the cooked bulbs and grind them into a meal. The meal was used in variety of ways. At times it would be mixed with water to form a batter and then cooked like a pancake. Often the meal would be mixed with water and formed into large bricks and then cooked and stored for future use.

Wow, seeing bullet shells would be very strange here. Occasionally you might find a shotgun shell in a farm where pheasant shooting has taken place but that's about it

Getting drunk and eating kale sounds fun! And I wish more places had trams - there are a few cities in the UK with them but not enough.

So using the formula in that guide, you get a numerical value for O. But surely someone else could follow the same process and also get the same answer? Unless the primes change each time? But then how would the sender and receiver know the way in which the values change?

Whoa, beautiful visualisation!

You should take a look at the Dragon Quest builders games. Depending on your platform you might be able to try the demo out.
