Daughter had roaches (of course) in her university apartment. Then the spiders showed up. She stopped using roach dust; spiders "considered the baby roaches as little cream-filled treats."
If you're curious, the game in the background is Hive. Fun, decently competent single player RTS with a bit of an identity crisis. Genuine recommendation: If you play it, skip the intro, just fully skip the cutscene. You'll enjoy the game more.
No, the story itself is also decent, there's just a weird disconnect between it and the intro which literally has NO BEARING on the story except for setting up context for a twist at the ending (not even a twist ending, just a twist that happens during the ending) that.... actually works just as well without the intro. Hell, better.

I known I'm not the first to say so but "the actor"???

I'll keep the pet spider until they decide one day, for some reason, to leave the serenity of the window sill and try to actually come near me

I kept my house spider for too long and it had babies and now there are baby spiders everywhere in my house

We've all seen Charlotte's Web. One spider egg sack means hundreds of baby spiders everywhere.

I'd love to let the spider stay, it's just that there's not enough... https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1NmRjc3ZocmI3cHVoYW0zb3FqNzRhb3N3OTRrd3RpZWxzcmJidmhoaCZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/mlGCsBLl4luyQaOl8w/200w.webp

Never.
Never kill harmless spiders.

So far, I know of two ceiling spiders in my home, I let them be as bug season is starting to take hold here in the Pacific North West

Just Like IT people. Everything's working, why do we need you? Everything's broken, why do we need you?
Leviosoooohhhh
I kinda grew up with Red Alert 3 and played through the campaign many times. I never ever skipped a cutscene with Tim Curry in it

I live in NY, there are ALWAYS more bugs. I have now 9 spiders in my house, all keep to the corners,

In australia, we call our free-roaming pet spiders Bruce. Living room Bruce, Bathroom Bruce, etc. They pay their rent.
iConfirmAnythingAndEverything
I have no problem with the spider as long as they stay off me and my bed.
The only problem I have eventually, is that spider is going to spawn at some point and really dont need to trade some bugs for a spider infestation.

'The actor'? That is Tim Curry, you clod.

Technically correct

I think I saw that actor in a Muppet movie. Didn't he play Scrooge on something?

There will always be more bugs. You will come to regret dispatching this brave soldier.

Consultant firm will say that the resources used on keeping the debugger around is wastefull as there is no bugs.

That is an... interesting recommendation? So the gameplay is decent but the story terrible?
vonBoomslang
No, the story itself is also decent, there's just a weird disconnect between it and the intro which literally has NO BEARING on the story except for setting up context for a twist at the ending (not even a twist ending, just a twist that happens during the ending) that.... actually works just as well without the intro.

I'm an rts fan and the game seems to be 50% price atm, but this might be a 75% type of game for me looking at reviews
vonBoomslang
curious what you mean by 75% type of game.
MelfsAcidArrow
Don’t buy until 75% discount
MelfsAcidArrow
This is an ad
vonBoomslang
Fair. I'm just hyping up a niche game I personally quite enjoy.
CeoHuntingSeason
An ad for a 10 year old game? I have to commend them for their persistence!
