Absolutely love the explosion in heirloom designs that happened after a fan work got accepted as an official skin for ember.

Since so many people begin to feel encouraged to make fan concepts of heirloom skins, it inspires me to do the same

Okay, look, I've been in college for two years and my Biology professor has pretty significantly rooted this educational science game called Labster into her course.

I was not expecting to be playing Portal all day for school.

Yeah, this is a full, 360 sci-fi free roam lab environment that you can pretty much do whatever you want in. You know those cruddy flash game experiments you used to do in middle school? Those are a thing of the past.

And check this: the entire lab is being run by this super cool AI droid named Dr. One

She floats around and directs you around the lab depending on the lesson you're taking and sounds eerily similar to GLaDOS. It turns out that Dr. One also has a lore page and that she was created originally for "unethical purposes."

Also, this environment is extremely detailed and even runs shaders and ambient occlusion in your web browser.

That's pretty nuts, considering the only time we ever see these things are built into genuine video games, not a web browser lab. It runs incredibly smoothly on my GTX 1050.

This is insanely impressive and I actually enjoyed my homework today. 10/10, would play this in my free time.

Wow it actually looks like a functional protein

what do you do whenever life gets you down, keeps you wearing a frown, and the gravy train has left you behind?

this was not a song i'd ever listened to before. thank you for sharing that with the class :/

protein guy analysis:

this one was surprisingly well put together! we got three alpha helices, which were predicted with up to 70% confidence towards the middle of each. i also included an image of the surface, where we can see that there are some weird pockets which would probably be filled with water, but its still more structured than some other shapes we have seen. i would be really interested to see how this would interact inside of a model unicellular organism and what sort of effect it would cause
