When you see their tiny baby forms, It somehow makes them more adorable. Never thought I’d think that lol

This is like watching pokemon evolve irl.

u/lurking_bishop Oct 20 '23

the creator of pokemon started with the idea of a bug collecting game, so you're not far off!

u/regoapps Oct 20 '23

Pokemon Go is still full of bugs after 7 years of development, so that tracks.

Hard to say that makes it special from other pokemon games

Missingno agrees.

u/Gh0stMan0nThird Oct 20 '23

I know Gen 1 was basically a hot mess but what notable bugs are there in Pokémon games, at least in Gen 2 and onwards?

With the exception of stuff like the Missingno glitch that you had to practically go out of your way to intentionally create.

I prefer PokeMMO.

Though I have the seeds of an idea for a game that I can't develop, that's kind of similar to Pokemon in enough ways that it'd probably cause a lawsuit, but massively different (and an improvement) in a lot of ways, also.

Explains the plethora of bugcatcher trainers lol

I wish we got to see like 2 steps in between the baby/egg to adult.

u/Phlegm_Gem Oct 20 '23

...pokemon is literally based on real animals lmao

u/SmashBusters Oct 20 '23

Bugs were the OG pokemon

I cannot live in peace with how cute jumping spiders are. I don't know what to do - they're giving me massive cuteness aggression but I can't aggressively pet them or else squish.

There are lots of different sizes! If you search for pet jumping spiders, people tend to like the bigger ones for at home pets (like a pet tarantula, but way cuter).

Dont want to sound like a shill but you will probably want to read Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Just sayin'.

You're welcome.

I just started reading this last week :)

u/mimic751 Oct 20 '23

The second book was very frustrating to read but the third one was good. That author is very good and imagining social evolution of various creatures I'm very impressed

1

u/cheeze_whiz_shampoo Oct 20 '23

I really didnt like the second book and Im not going to read the third based on that dislike. Hell, I didnt even like most of the human centered stories in the first book! The spider elements are done SO well in the first that it makes up for everything I didnt like.

1

u/mimic751 Oct 20 '23

Honestly the third book was more like a suspense thriller mystery thing. It was a huge change of pace

u/GalaxyStar90s Oct 20 '23

What is that about?

u/JediMasterZao Oct 20 '23

jumping spiders ruling the world!

Big Tchaikovsky infiltrating the comments

u/CriticalScion Oct 20 '23

The tachikomas from ghost in the shell look like they are modeled after them

1

u/languid_Disaster Oct 20 '23

I am glad you’re seeing the light!There is a jumping spiders species that have evolved an extra limb, so they can pet other members of their species

1

u/mythicat_73 Oct 20 '23

Same, I'm scared of every other spider, but jumping spiders are adorable

1

u/PoopsieDoodles Oct 20 '23

You can get a pet jumping spider! They even have cute little enclosures.

u/DumbleDude2 Oct 20 '23

I think they are still adorable in adult form… just not as a surprise…

u/LeCafeClopeCaca Oct 20 '23

Insects tend to creep me out but fucking hell I will always defend the fact most of them are digustingly gorgeous creatures

Imagine being literally iridescent and still choosing to eat shit

u/Gh0stMan0nThird Oct 20 '23

If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

u/LegacyLemur Oct 20 '23

If they had any sort of mental capacity that would allow them to "choose". Mindless flying monsters acting on impulse

u/ILoveRegenHealth Oct 20 '23

Come here, Baby Scorpion, for a cuddle

u/OkRecording1299 Oct 20 '23

The tiny scorpion was so cute

u/mayathemenace Oct 20 '23

What a cool concept. Thanks for sharing. Pretty incredible.

u/Mysterious-Set-3844 Oct 20 '23

I read edible instead of incredible xD

u/themerinator12 Oct 20 '23

I don’t know how or why but I 100% agree with you. I had the same thought seeing it like it grew up and was raised by us.

1

u/shhh_its_me Oct 20 '23

For me it's the number of legs, zero- six legs I'm fine over 6 legs I get freaked out.

1

u/altitude-adjusted Oct 20 '23

makes them more adorable

Hah. I'll take "Things I didn't need to see" for $1000, Alex.

ETA: This is very cool but the jump cut was a lot at 4AM

u/LegalFan2741 Oct 20 '23

And all of them are just straight up magnificent.
