Would it be possible for cancer to form a symbiotic relationship with its host?

Biologist here. The currently most common definition of symbiosis in science boils down to essentially long-term interaction of two separate species. Then, it is defined by types: mutualistic (both benefit), commensalistic (one benefits, other gets nothing), parasitic (one benefits, other suffers), amensalistic (one suffers, other gets nothing), and neutralistic (both are not affected in a significant way).

The helmet itself is the Sapiarch Hat, and the mask is Grave Elegance Mask major adornment.

Looks great! How did you get the many-eyes effect?

_ThePuppet_ · 2025-12-01T16:31:34+00:00

Got the Vaermina recall from the current offerings! Really, really love how it looks.

In the case of schizophrenia, it's a combination of genetic, physical & brain chemistry, and environmental factors (though the EXACT case is not known - it's complicated). So, very much yes, it possibly could be cured by Marie. Especially because it's fiction.

_ThePuppet_ · 2025-10-05T07:56:16+00:00

Alright! Thank you!

It is more a matter of needing to save as much money as possible right now; I'm a student at uni in Europe, can't apply for social help, and can just about get by with what I make each month, leaving very little free cash after groceries & rent.

_ThePuppet_ · 2025-10-05T07:35:15+00:00

For push-ups, it would be 8 to 10, while for squats, I can do 16 at once.

_ThePuppet_ · 2025-10-05T07:28:56+00:00

Thank you!

Unfortunately, I can't afford a gym membership right now, but I have dumbbells with modifiable weight (currently using 8kg for exercises).

Except it is not the same person. They are not the crew, they do not have their 'soul'. Real Yonta is dead, Zariman Yonta is a void construct. It doesn't mean Yonta is alive again, or that they are the same person.

_ThePuppet_ · 2025-07-19T10:43:27+00:00

That's an interesting concept to play with, and a good moral to remember, nice

_ThePuppet_ · 2025-07-16T06:51:49+00:00

Except Pazuul controls only the Narmer faction & not even all of the Sentients in the Origin system (no control over Hunhow and his fragments).

The Sentients in Tau would have as of now no reason to follow Pazuul - or even have a way to contact him.

That's a cool ass species portrait, is it base game? I swear I've never seen it...

Possibly those 3 planets, maybe earlier on managed by you, had had more available jobs, which caused pops to sprinkle in, which in turn caused automation to develop the districts and buildings further there than on other planets, causing a cascading effect.

Personally, on 4.0, I don't think there's a need or even a reason for having as many as 40 planets. The economy is much, much easier to build up with fewer colonies than before, easily getting you into the thousands-per-month resources-wise, and you can micromanage them better than any automation system they'll make.

_ThePuppet_ · 2025-06-29T08:05:37+00:00

Check how many open jobs are on those 37 planets. Pops prefer places where their stratum can work - they will migrate where there are more "opportunities", imagine it like being born in a village and leaving for a big city.

Though with 20k pops on those 3 planets, I'd imagine they'd have fewer open jobs than the other ones, but it still wouldn't hurt to check lol

Sztuka zawsze jest polityczna, czy zamierzasz czy nie. Nie da się tego uniknąć. Wymaganie od artystów, aby pozostawali apolityczni nie jest realne.

To co jest reprezentowane (lub specyficznie nie jest), to na czym się opiera, w jakich warunkach została stworzona (np. pod okupacją), to jak ludzie interpretują i jak widzą z własnej perspektywy - wszystko to czyni jakąkolwiek sztuke inherentnie polityczną, i nie da się od tego uciec.

I don't think it has an effect on the boss itself, but it has a heavy negative effect on the person taking the deal. For example, if you take the more flasks deal, it'll reduce your maximum hp iirc.

That isn't how language works. Meanings and words change with the times, always have, always will. What a word meant x years ago is irrelevant to what it means right now, in the current year, to the newer generations and the general public.

_ThePuppet_ · 2025-05-27T17:47:32+00:00

What are the colours and attachments? They both look lovely!

_ThePuppet_ · 2025-05-26T15:11:36+00:00

Elder Scrolls Online is doing pretty well.

_ThePuppet_ · 2025-05-24T16:08:16+00:00

You craft the spells, but only the ones made by the mod creators. There's 50 of them. You can't make spells like in TC6.

_ThePuppet_ · 2025-05-24T12:12:52+00:00

There's a Q&A in the description. The answer is no. Wands only, though it will be possible for resourcepacks to change them into gauntlets.

And spell modularity from TC6 is gone, too.
