I had a portable talking version of battleship (Battleship Command) as a kid and it has these little planes. If I remember correctly, I think they allowed you to “see” a little bit of the opponents board and you placed them on top of your own ships?

Also the sound effects in that version were great, almost all done by human voice. The ship sinking sound was hilarious “glub glub glub”

Edit: in fact, this picture definitely looks like it’s from Battleship Command!

Interesting, interesting. We call the female lightning bugs here glow worms because they are wingless, but today I’m learning that is not the case for all species!

Also Glühwürmchen is a cute word.

I grew up calling them lightning bugs, and I’m so excited to see a thread full of people calling them the same!

I remember once opening the door to a garage (with a gravel floor), hundreds of the little guys immediately dove in to the gravel. It was… fine. I was… fine.

Conversely, I was at a snake petting zoo and they had an arachnid room. There was a big ol’ scorpion there covered with it’s babies taking a ride and it was honestly very cute! (This was thousands of miles from home, so that helped too.)

In summary: Scorpions… sometimes?

Spin 1/2 USB for extra uhh usability.

I know I’m a weirdo, but I really loved it since they felt like little puzzles. On the other hand, Electromagnetics felt like a swamp of sorrow and partial derivatives…

Yes it’s nice to see a proper showing of our EE siblings 😄
