Today I learned that wasps are necessary predators in the ecosystem that feed on pests like greenflies.
They’re also pollinators and they love sweet foods/drinks.

I am indeed a young boi, thy am within the category of 13 year olds.

15 here bro, im suprised how many people have similar ages here.

Think about it, when spore released, it was targeted at young children, and its fans nowadays are around about their mid-teens, and they usually find out about Thrive when there is discussion on a theoretical Spore 2.

I always wanted to play spore when i was a lad, and never got the chance too until a few years ago, enjoying every little bit of it until i got bored of knowing the game almost inside out due to the stages being predictable, i hope thrive will have a bit more unexpectedness when it comes to progressing.

(alright lets stop getting off topic)

Thats the same thing that happened to me. I first played the game enjoying the cell stage through the space stage. Unfortunately, though, I have succumbed to the same fate you had those few years back.

I think my spacefaring species was the Vortigonian, or something. I don’t remember, as I havent played the game in about a year.

The first space faring species i made was Ruskra, only i had deleted it due to going at war with two empires very early on in the space stage.

TIL that there’s literally a species named “Boops boops” and I love it


It’s even as cute as the name
