It reminds me of that old joke of the 2 scientists studying a fly.
Scientist 1: Fly, fly! Scientist 2: When fly has two wings fly flies 2 feet.
Scientist 1: pulls off one wing and says Fly, Fly! Scientist 2: When fly has 1 wing, fly flies 1 foot
Scientist 1: pulls off the other wing and says, Fly, fly!. Nothing happens Scientist 1 Fly, Fly! Nothing happens Scientist 1 showing frustration> FLY! FLY! Scientist 2: When fly has no wings, fly becomes deaf.
Bad-dum!
I like this. First time hearing it.
That’s good, 'cause the fly can’t.
Whew, hopefully he’ll forget he’s supposed to track me till the end of time
Sorry bucko, it was a decoy snail
That’s incredible, I was aware of the tileman mode plug in, but this is inspired.
Scientists: No guys seriously what have we done I can’t remember
Oh no, they fried the part of their brain that could tell the difference between snails and humans!
Finally I can replay Outer Wilds.
Yes. Good god yes. Was disappointed by the dlc though unfortunately. I want to like it but I just don’t.
But also replay Inscryption
It honestly was too scary for me. I don’t do horror games. The angler fish in the main game was almost too much for me
I can play Omori without having been spoiled!

Finally! A therapy to make me forget that movie!

Note, I’m not a scientist.
As I suspected it appears they tortured the snails somehow (my guess is electric shock) to create traumatic memories. This has been done with caterpillars I think to see if they retain memories after turning into butterflies and they do, despite basically turning into primordial goop in the cocoon. They do, and it’s tested by seeing if they retain aversions to certain areas of their cages that are electrified.
Then something about enzymes created which associate memory with pain and being able to target them.
Pretty cool, and I for one definitely have a few traumas I’d like erased.
How is torturing an animal cool?
