This was a proper wee surprise. Wasn't on the radar at all. Very fun, and it did more to get me invested in this bunch of idiots in 10 hours than some other games are doing in 60.
Second season, when?

TFW the only thing you paid attention to in biology class was “the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell”
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them?
This is an insane person.

Hot off the (Portland) press, @kulathu.bsky.social and I wrote a review on branched #ubiquitin and the tools and strategies out there for studying it. Some really cool stuff going on right now and I'm really excited to see where things go from here. #BiochemSocTrans portlandpress.com/biochemsoctr...
Emerging tools and methods to study cell signalling mediated by branched ubiquitin chains
Branched ubiquitin chains are complex molecular structures in which two or more ubiquitin moieties are attached to distinct lysine residues of a single ubiquitin molecule within a polyubiquitin chain....

I'd played Urban Dead since 2006, less so in recent years, but would still log in every now and then to hit a zombie or two with a newspaper.
It shut down on Friday after almost 20 years. It will be very much missed.
