Best new Android games to play this May | AndroidPIT

In this scenario, Lovecraft has all the monsters of the classic Cthulhu mythos with which to destroy you, but as Tesla, you have an array of upgradeable electropunk weapons and armor with which to shock, blast and fry the deep ones, Mi-Go, Shoggoths and other bizarre sanity-randing horrors. Fire death rays, wield the x-ray blades and pilot the mighty Tesla-Mech with twin-mounted miniguns to stomp and shred your enemies. Naturally, all your cool toys are upgradable between levels.

Like the previous titles from 10tons, Tesla vs Lovecraft delivers delightful bursts of action in between upgrades that work really well for quick gaming sessions on the go. The soundtrack is fantastic and the concept is a nice pulpy mash-up of geeky silliness. Well worth a purchase at the full price of $9.99, Tesla vs Lovecraft is currently available at a launch discount of $4.49.

Marginalia Hero

I’ll admit, as a medieval nerd who spent my higher education poring over old manuscripts and chuckling at the hapless figures battling rabbits and snails in the margins of the pages, Marginalia Hero was right up my street. It’s a simple series of battles in which our hero must whack the bizarre creatures of medieval marginalia, including animals, cockatrices, dragons, and combinations. The graphics are taken from real historical illustrations.

The combat is simple, and plays out like a rhythm game where you have to tap in the right place at the right time. As you win fights progress, you gain gold to spend on equipment like weapons and armor beyond your starting stick and companions with different abilities. It’s not easy, but do-able, and you can watch ads to double game rewards, or even buy tons of charms for real money. Progress isn’t obnoxiously difficult, but if you find yourself enjoying the game, the option to disable ads for a couple of dollars will probably be all you need.

The cult (ahem) PC game gets a slick mobile port under the Playdigious banner. In this card game, you take on the role of a novice occultist who begins to explore secrets that Man Was Not Meant To Know, delving into forbidden lore. Along the way, you’ve got to strike the right work/life/eldritch investigation balance to keep your sanity in check and expand your growing cabal.

G30 is a puzzle game, but it’s much deeper than simply matching colors or moving blocks. The mechanics are based around turning various colored dials with pieces of images. When put together, they generate phrases based on key words that tease different variants of an event, or associations of objects. As you turn the dials, and match colors, more words are revealed. Some of them are saved in a narrative story, which starts out as a collection of blank spaces with the details being filled in out of sequential order: what starts to emerge is the story of someone with a cognitive disorder, trying to piece together fragmented memories.

Here’s a better way to convert dog years to human years, scientists say | Science | AAAS

A biological clock governs aging in dogs just as in humans. Here’s a better way to convert dog years to human years, scientists say By Virginia Morell Nov. 15, 2019 , 3:42 PM Our Scotch collie, Buckaroo, is just shy of 14 years old. Following the long-debunked but still popular idea that one dog year equals seven human years, he’s almost a centenarian. (This “formula” may be based on average life spans of 10 and 70 years for dogs and people, respectively.) Now, researchers say they have a new formula (see calculator below)  to convert dog years to human years—one with some actual science behind it. The work is based on a relatively new concept in aging research: that chemical modifications to a person’s DNA over a lifetime create what is known as an epigenetic clock. Scientists have built a case that one such modification, the addition of methyl groups to specific DNA sequences, tracks human biological age—that is, the toll that disease, poor lifestyle, and genetics take on our...

Scientists may have found a better way to spot early signs of dementia: our eyes

Bild
As our body’s central control center, the brain has to keep going at all costs. It makes sense that it’s surrounded by biological safeguards: a bony skull, a sack of tissue, and blood vessels that filter out most infectious bugs. When neurons start to decline—as some do naturally with age—the brain can even quickly rewire networks before we notice anything is amiss. But these same safeguards are a huge obstacle for scientists trying to study the brain’s decline—specifically dementia. Grey matter is excellent at adapting to the slow buildup of abnormal proteins, the cause of several forms of dementia , and it lacks the same pain receptors as the rest of our body. So by the time a patient starts becoming forgetful, or having trouble concentrating, the cellular damage is already substantial—and usually irreversible. In order to slow or prevent dementia, scientists will have to be able to spot it before cognitive systems collapse. Current diagnostic tools for Alzheimer’s, the most com...

Granny killer whales pass along wisdom—and extra fish—to their grandchildren | Science | AAAS

A young killer whale swims between two older ones. Granny killer whales pass along wisdom—and extra fish—to their grandchildren By Eva Frederick Dec. 9, 2019 , 4:30 PM Many human grandmothers love to spoil their grandchildren with attention and treats, and for good reason: Studies have shown that having a living grandmother increases a child’s chance of survival. Now, new research shows the same may be true for killer whales. By providing young animals with some freshly caught salmon now and then—or perhaps with knowledge on where to find it—grannies increase their grand-offspring’s chance of survival. The new study is the first direct evidence in nonhuman animals of the “grandmother hypothesis.” The idea posits that females of some species live long after they stop reproducing to provide extra care for their grandchildren . “It’s very cool that these long-lived cetaceans have what looks like a postfertile life stage,” says Kristen Hawkes, an anthropologist at the University of Ut...
