Comment on The virus she told you not to worry about.

  Yeah but viruses are obligate intracellular parasites - they can’t survive for long outside of a host cell and have to reproduce using the machinery of a host cell. I’m curious what this virus is parasitizing.

    Depends on the virus. Some of the hepatitis viruses can live for months outside of a host.

      And many bacteria can live for years in hard vacuum. That doesn’t tell us anything about the environment they need to live though.

        The differences between surviving, living and thriving can be pretty big.

      Honestly that stage of the game doesn’t last long enough. It’s the best part.

        You should play Thrive. It aims to be the game that Spore should have been and it’s pretty cheap. It’s a work in progress but the cell stage is already a lot deeper than Spore’s.

    well, there was a game called “Everything” from 2017 where you can do that….
    (i recommend playing it before reading about it but: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_(video_game) ).
    (also, very good with weed)
