Why do ribozymes look like a Zachtronics game?

Figure from “Modular Architecture of Bacterial RNase P Ribozymes as a Structural Platform for RNA Nanostructure Design”. At the top are color-coded 2D diagrams of RNA, laid out in a way that looks sort of like a circuit diagram or a transit map. At the bottom is a 3D representation of the same RNA molecule.

Figure from “Modular Architecture of Bacterial RNase P Ribozymes as a Structural Platform for RNA Nanostructure Design”. Color-coded 2D diagrams of RNA are placed next to 3d representations of the same molecule. The 2D diagrams resemble a machine from an automation puzzle game.

Y’all ever think about how Portal (3007) and Mirror’s Edge (2008) are both first-person platformers with clean white futuristic environments, female protagonists, and an end credits song titled “Still Alive” where the title appears in the lyrics of the chorus?

Perhaps the most visually arresting part of Tenebrae is “The Rumour Engine”. Four lasers track me representing scrutiny, judgement & the eyes of Phema, the Greek God of rumour & reputation. Others noted it resembles stigmata, crucifixion when a community turns against us 📷 @netsui-prime.bsky.social

Alt text: During The Rumour Engine sequence of Tenebrae, Mother Lykaeon stands with her back to the viewer in a pale, translucent embroidered toga and grey-white wolf head. Four narrow red laser beams converge on and pass across her body from different directions, representing scrutiny, judgement and the relentless gaze of rumour. Dozens of warm candles form a glowing boundary across the dark forest floor, while audience members watch from the shadows beyond. Harsh violet stage light burns through the darkness from the upper right, leaving Lykaeon isolated at the centre of intersecting lines of red light.

I think you can point at cave story as the definitive indie game not just because of its influence as the one that got people starting their own projects, but also because to this day we're still doing optional endgame content where you have to airdash around instant-kill spikes

recently i learned of the old GameBoy game "Trip World", and it has this animal in it that i fell in love with as soon as i saw it. so i drew art of it out of reverence. maybe you'll be a fan of it too.

Lineless art depicting an animal from the game "Trip World". Its shape is pale and blobby, standing upright with its stubby round limbs and tail carried at its side with an almost firm stance. Its head is perfectly round with two large cylindrical ears poking out of it, and with gleaming eyes staring straight ahead. It is wearing a spike collar. It stands perfectly still in a slightly-aged castle room.

When the world is graced by people with Horse Autism, then we also have Thousand Mile Horses. Such horses are actually quite common; it’s having enough Horse Autism to recognize them that’s rare. Hence, though a horse may be an S-Rank pull, it is humiliated at the hands of a filthy casual, dying in a stable without ever being recognized as a horse that can run a thousand miles.
