  1. Amaia Alcalde Anton (scientific and medical finalist): From Butterflies to Humans, 2023

    This is the brain of a butterfly undergoing metamorphosis as new neurones are born through a process called #neurogenesis. Studying this process can provide valuable insights into how the nervous system is formed, as well as brain disorders, says scientist Alcalde Anton.

  2. Genesis: Battle of Champions Launches Latest Set on Kickstarte

    The Announcement

    Edge of Exile has officially launched their Kickstarter for the newest set of Genesis: Battle of Champions, Metamorphosis. With a goal of $29,202, this all or nothing campaign promises to bring exciting new mechanics like dual sided cards and equipment cards. This will be the second set for the new backs and design, and I am sure there will be a lot of passion poured into it. $95 gets you an early booster box of the Metamorphosis, which discounted from its intended $120 MSRP.

    What is Genesis: Battle of Champions?

    I have covered this game before, so make sure you check out some of my earlier content. Essentially, Genesis is a card game for the miniature wargamer that doesn’t want to fiddle with minis or dice roles. Players control a champion and an army of minions on an epic battle for supremacy. Unlike most games, there is no mana system, deck size, or card limit. Players start with a set pool of points that they spend to cast their spells and creatures until they run out. What makes Genesis unique is the movement mechanic. Players move their cards across a 5×6 grid map, and orientation and range matter. It is sort of like chess, but with a few extra rules and a lot more flavor.

    My Thoughts

    I was sent a bit of product to review last year before their first failed Kickstarter. The game is very fun with interesting mechanics and interactions. I also love the art, especially the new direction the game is going towards. Unfortunately, the initial Kickstarter was aimed towards fans of the game as it only had alt arts exclusives of champions. Unless you already play the game, and play it a lot, there was no real reason to back the project. Unless of course you want to support the game and get to Metamorphasis.

    This time around, I wasn’t asked to cover the game. I am doing it because I think the game is fun and it deserves some attention. I have been following the updates, and there seems to be an online game in the works that might help with a bit of on boarding. I don’t have a local scene, but there seems to be enough interest, especially in Canada, for competitive scene. They have a big tournament coming up.

    Unfortunately, I think the initial sudden closure did its damage. Fans who enjoyed the gameplay have had time to move onto other titles that have risen to take its place. The fact that the new set is on Kickstarter doesn’t create much confidence in its popularity. If the game had enough of a following, they wouldn’t need a Kickstarter. 30k seems reasonable so they might just need a little bit of help. The risk is supporting a game that has died once before and it is unclear how long it has left. I am not trying to be mean, I am just being realistic. $120 for a box that won’t get you enough cards to be competitive for a game that might die is a lot of money. The challenge will be getting store and players to start populating LGS’s and creating that demand. I don’t see it in my area, and it is going to be difficult to see it considering the strong competition it faces. Again, not trying to be mean, just being honest.

    With that out of the way, there is clearly a lot of love and passion for the game. The game itself is well made with fun and interesting mechanics. The cards are good quality and the art is very cool. This game deserves more attention. If you can find people to play with, splitting up some of the costs or just checking out existing product may be the move. The starter decks are pretty cool. You can pick up existing product on Indie Pro Games.

    The Kickstarter runs until August 25th. I wish them luck, and don’t forget to support if you’re interested!

    The Swiffer pad and the handle came off, the broomstick and the umbrella holder are a perfect fit. The piece I brought with me is going through a metamorphosis

  5. PhotosyntheSlug
    Shows a biological concept (eg an egg being laid, camouflage, metamorphosis, bioluminescence). The cactus sea slug (Sacoproteus smaragdinus) is a herbivorous sea slug measuring up to 8 cm in length. Despite its size, it is rarely seen as its appearance is almost identical to the Caulerpa cactoides algae it feeds on.

  7. EARLY CICADA WARNING!

    As both Brood XIII and Brood XIX are emerging in late April/early May of this year, you'll want to pick this up and get it down you before then so you'll know how to ward them off/welcome them appropriately, whichever applies.

    72 storylets in 90-100 days. You can do it. Best get it taken care of before you run out of time.

  11. Metanoia, as decided by Carl Jung, is a tremendous internal metamorphosis brought on by crisis.

    This feels like a metanoia for me. I’m cracking and being remade. I don’t care what into. Anything but whatever brings this karma. I’ve cracked before. I just don’t want to break. There is Big No energy here.

    Magic magic do as you will.

    I won’t be broken again. Not like this.

  12. Stasis

    A caterpillar’s quiet encouragement for someone whose self-betterment has stalled. A sentiment for those we believe in, even when they’ve perhaps stopped believing in themselves.

  18. "Bella" teableau for 07/27/24

    Memorial for a friend's dog who was mercifully released from painful immobility.

    Bella's Metamorphosis:

    "Because butterflies are free,

    Moving so gracefully,

    Going everywhere,

    Aloft, in air,

    Heavenward,

    They are
    Heavenly"
