O. unilateralis infects ants of the tribe Camponotini, with the full pathogenesis being characterized by alteration of the behavioral patterns of the infected ant.
Basically what's depicted in the Last of Us is based on reality, lol. I think the real scare isn't visual mutation, but mutation and losing mind.

Thread Title: “The Final Stretch: Arrapago, Beitetsu, and the Sweet Smell of Financial Ruin”
Posted by Vyre, 2025
Ah yes, the classic tale. One more Arrapago Remnants run—just one—and then the descent into economic despair begins in earnest. The kind of despair that smells faintly of rusted imperial coins and the sweat of 200 Nyzul runs. You know you’ve reached peak FFXI when your endgame goal isn’t glory, prestige, or even a new weapon—it’s bankruptcy. Sweet, sweet bankruptcy.
Let’s talk Beitetsu. The currency of dreams and nightmares. You start off thinking, “It’s just a few stacks, I’ll farm it.” Then you realize you’d rather chew glass than do another Vagary run with six people who think ‘mechanics’ are optional. So you hit the AH. And that’s when the real pain begins. Watching your gil evaporate faster than a BST’s pet in an AoE. Every purchase feels like a personal insult. “Oh, you wanted to upgrade your Mythic? That’ll be 80 million gil and your dignity.”
And Arrapago Remnants? The dungeon equivalent of a toxic relationship. You keep going back, even though it gaslights you with bad drops and questionable floor layouts. You tell yourself it’s worth it. You tell yourself you’re strong. But deep down, you know you’re just one more run away from yelling “Yeeeehawwwwww” into the void while your wallet sobs quietly in the corner.
But hey, that’s the FFXI way. We suffer, we grind, we spend, and we flex our completed weapons in town like peacocks with macro palettes. So ride on, cowboy. Finish that last run. Buy those Beitetsu. And when you’re broke and broken, just remember: you did it for love. Or at least for the spreadsheet.

Went into work today and was told all of the people that were illegally fired back in February were coming back and the agency would be at full staff in time for next tax season. Truly shocking news. Truly.
Recently, my Game Nerd™ level has increased again...
I am not an achievement hunter, so I normally find grinding achievements annoying. I have never 100% any game.
However, recently I played the Diofield chronicle, that game has relatively easy achievements to collect. You just play through the main game, and the dlc, and all the side quest and all the achievements will naturally unlock.
So I did that, finally got my first achievement complete.
Not accusing Nynja is a tourist but I quickly read blade runner sub and I already see tourists invasion making comments that absolutely don't "get" the core theme of this IP. My head hurts....
Nice try Nynja. You didn't even know who Roy Batty is! We need to build a wall to keep people who doesn't care away so we don't get anymore Wuchang incident.
Gonna defend the slug here, but your reply makes no sense.
He made a point he considered the cast probably too expensive, what is a valid opinion regardless of movie, but you replied like "oh, but is the moviefor you?"
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
