  Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

  Well I mean teaching as in modeling the behavior. Like offspring witnessing tool use for example.

  And hooking her up to machine for nutrition was just an example. The point is because she will stop eating and starve herself.

  But as someone else commented, removing the sex harmone glad prompts them to continue eating.

  Yeah they are so incredible!

  One of the biggest hindrances for their species is the lack of social learning. The mother starves and dies protecting the eggs, so all octopuses have to learn for themselves over their short lifespans.

  And that is a testament to their cunning intellect and problem-solving capability. They learn so much and so quickly.

  I’ve wondered what would happen in an experiment where a mother octopus was hooked up to machines to deliver nutrients to prevent her from starving to death while guarding her eggs. What kind of social dynamic would then follow once they hatched? Would she teach her young?

  I totally agree with your criticism about the headline, but declaring octopuses have consciousness isn’t a stretch at all in my opinion.

  I highly recommend reading my blog post on animal cognition, culture, and personhood.

  I have ads turned off and do not benefit in any way from my blog. I feel confident that my write-up should persuade open-minded individuals to give other animals the benefit of the doubt regarding possessing consciousness.

  I have doubts about insect consciousness is any sort of relatable sense to humans, but many other animals absolutely possess consciousness similar to humans.

  I’m going in hoping it will be decent, but the little I’ve seen of trailers (which I avoid) felt kind of like a toned down, tamer Fallout than the gritty games…

  It made me feel like it won’t be any heavier than a Star Wars film, which will be utterly disappointing for a Fallout adaption.

  I had mixed feelings on The Last of Us show, but at least they kept it adult and gritty. I so hope this Fallout series isn’t some daytime PG-13 silly bullshit.

  That’s precisely why I left L.W. They also were removing community posts voicing opposition to threads federation. I witnessed it firsthand, where posts I commented in (and in which the majority of comments opposed it) were removed.

  Now they removed the piracy communities again after promising not to. They are straight up untrustworthy and don’t care about what their users actually want.

  I am happy on feddit.de. They are defederated from Threads and the tankie instances.

  The Half Life mod Earth’s Special Forces will forever be the GOAT to me.

  Couldn’t find a good gameplay video. But man that was kickass with other players or even just bots.

  Halfway thru high school, I remember accessing MySpace on my original iPhone on safari before the appstore even existed. I felt like hot shit.

  I’m so glad social media was still new enough that I didn’t document my awkward dumbass development. I can proudly state that I never made a FB account.

  It takes time and experience to distinguish what makes something good or bad or just average.

  Well maybe some day you’ll have enough experience to distinguish good games. You’re clearly not there just yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sly Cooper - What Happened to This Iconic Platformer?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked it more than Ratchet and Clank too, but Jack and Daxter was my jam.

  I replayed the original just a few years ago and it still holds up so well…

  That’s actually a pretty compelling argument.
