    Great camouflage. Carrying a sack of dozens dead ants on your back does not draw attention at all.

      Camouflage through intimidation. If you saw a dude sneaking around covered in human skulls, no you didn’t.

      I guess spiders don’t want to eat a pile of dead ants, even if it’s moving. Not the sharpest tools in the shed, spiders.

      Ants “see” mostly by smells. This would probably smell like another ant and thus wouldn’t be bothered.

    We already had an Ocean Soulslike (Another Crab’s Treasure). Now we need a Bug Soulslike.

      I mean… Yeah? But I was referring to a Full Soulslike game in 3D, and I see Hollow knight more like a Metroidvania with some Soulslike features.

          Meme : Gene :: Culture : Species

          A Dawkinsian “meme” is like an idea-unit that can take hold and thrive in the landscape of imagination, developing into culture or philosophy if it spreads widely enough.

            Good definition! I’ll often say it is a “primary unit of cultural exchange.” I consider a lot of things memes: internet memes of course, songs, scenes from movies, plot tropes, characters, basically any bit of culture that can be encapsulated and identified as a distinct entity.

          I think it was a bit tongue in cheek since meme is actually a concept from science (internet-meme is very close to it’s original meaning afaik):

    Litter bugs (green lacewing larvae) do this as well. Great bug to have in your garden as they feed on aphids, scale, mealy bugs - pretty much all the pests you don’t want on your plants.

    Also they are metal af.
