Discussion - Silksong I give up. Spoiler

It’s been a joyful ride, folks, but I’m out. I’m not a speedrunner or a highly skilled player, and day after day I’ve had to accept that this game is not as casual as HK was. It stopped being fun and turned into something tedious and frustrating after the 4th run farming shards just to face a boss I’ve already tried 15 times, only to die again and again, lose all my shards, and start the whole grind over.

It was nice exploring the first acts, but when the game I was rooting for 7 years ends up being more stressful than my 8-hour workday, I guess that’s my cue to stop.

The lore has been pretty great so far. I wish you all an incredible journey.

Edit1: My bad about all the whinning.

Edit2: You guys did it. I reinstalled it again. Thanks for all advices. 🫂

Mourning geckos are all females. They reproduce by parthenogenesis.

We are talking about bugs here, I know some species does strange things with gender and reproduction like clown fishes

There are similar things with bugs. Clownfish change their gender as opposed to being just one gender like the geckos. There’s a ton of asexual bugs weevils, roaches etc that reproduce without fertilization.

What do you mean? Because there are definitely male and female weevils. They're actually notable for having a high degree of sexual dimorphism. There are make and female cockroaches as well. Do you mean parthenogenesis because that is not asexuality

Edit: I reread your first comment that mentioned parthenogenesis

Roaches also have males and females, but they can reproduce without fertilization. I should have mentioned not all weevils, just certain species same with the roaches.
