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

Oh that's interesting! Explains why I always had difficulty chasing down shadow Mario on Switch

I'll have to check if it's possible to use analog triggers with the SN30 Pro+ on Dolphin...

Oh god the pachinko machine... I salute you for 100%ing the game! Yeah Yoshi feels pretty pointless considering Mario has a more diverse moveset without him.

Graphically I still think it's pretty impressive - the heat shimmer and water in particular. Crazy considering when it was released.

Yes I definitely agree with that. I loved the variety of environments, and the animations felt ahead of their time for a game from 2002. Well worth completing. How long ago did you play it, out of interest?

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 :)

Ahh thanks, this is all coming back to me now! Despite being a pretty nerdy student, my biology teachers at school didn't instil much enthusiasm in me for the subject. But the more I learn about it now, the more fascinating I find it.

Do you have any more detail/links about incompatible genes causing mutations?

Oh that's actually really neat, I had no idea! But it makes a lot of sense

Oh :(

I don't know, clam meditation sounds pretty chill

Oh thank FUCK. I've been unable to sleep, worrying about the trout. As long as they survive I can die happy! This is such great news 🙏

Lmao this degree sounds amazing

Ah in which case there's this one where you might be able to see a total eclipse from a midnight sun AND the aurora borealis! (in certain areas of northern Russia)
