    I'm surprised they didn't have a nobel prize already. The role of micro RNAs in gene regulation has been well established for decades. It's well deserved though. This discovery showed that RNAs play a much bigger role in the cell than what we gave them credit for and opened up whole new areas of research.

    Out of curiosity, when do you consider that you are "done" learning a language? I feel like language learning is not a thing you can ever finish doing.

    But why hide the UI? I get that they want to show specific locations or encounters or whatever but I want to see what the game will actually look like when I'm playing. It's not like people will be playing with the HUD turned off.

    And it's an ARPG. I'm assuming there is inventory management and some kind of skill tree since those are core elements of the genre. I'm assuming I will be spending a significant amount of time interacting with those menus and yet, they don't show a single screenshot or video of what that looks like.

    Not bashing on the game though. It's just a pet peeve of mine when steam pages don't show the actual game they're trying to sell.

    50 screenshots and 7 videos and not a single one shows what the UI looks like. Why do devs do this?

    An ADHD brain is physiologically different from a neurotypical brain and thus, their response to amphetamines is different.

    Most people call animals whatever term they are most familiar with. Even if it's technically incorrect.

    They'll probably release more dlc eventually. But right now they're working on a co-op mode and switching to a new engine.

    I don't think Halls of Torment is from the same developers, is it? It's a great game though. It plays similar to vampire survivors but the mechanics are a bit more refined. The difficulty is a bit more challenging than vampire while still being pretty casual.

    Thanks for the reply. That's good to know. I wasn't sure if doing that would be ok here or not.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I think it's every Tildes user's responsibility to kindly remind people if they have written something hard to understand for non-US users.

    Do you consider tildes to be a US-centric website?

    Something I see in a lot of English speaking online communities is that users sort of default to the assumption that every user is American. I have seen a couple of posts in tildes where that happened and I was wondering if that is the accepted culture here.

    I've been having a lot of fun playing a game called Dungeon Drafters. It's a single-player, turn based tactics, collectible card game. You build a deck and do roguelike dungeon runs with it, collecting new cards along the way. If you get out alive you can use the new cards to improve your deck and try again. Combat is played on a 2d grid that you can move around in which adds the "tactics" elements that I like. The plot is mediocre, but it's not the type of game you play for the plot.

    That sounds pretty bad. It's the opposite situation here in Uruguay. The last few years have been dryer than usual and El Niño should reverse that. Our fresh water reserves are running dangerously low so this will be very welcome.
