Researchers found a frilled shark - normally found 100-1500m deep - swimming in shallow water of the coast of Portugal. Frilled sharks are cool because they've remained essentially identical for about 80 million years. They're so perfectly adapted to their environment that they haven't needed to change.

Monsterhearts: violence, sex
Setup: me and two freinds feign emotional distress to get into the guidance counselor's office with the intent of stealing something.
End result: the vampire physically attacks then feeds on the counselor, I run out screaming, and then the vampire and the witch bang each other on his desk.
...well, that certainly escalated in an unexpected way.
I love this game.
This essay by @AmyDentatahas probably influenced my thinking more than any other piece of game writing.
"In Games, Genre Does Not Yet Exist"

Hey @AmyDentata you wrote an essay (in the late 2000s?) about how we don't yet have meaningful concepts of genre for videogames but I'm having trouble finding it? It was really influential to me.
@stardust just booped my snoot and they have a similar name as me and the same avatar as I do on my bird site account so I was momentarily /very/ confused :D
