Did you know we had giant centipedes in NZ? The Cormocephalus rubriceps ("Hura") is a native, but under threat from hedgehogs, rats, etc.
They're rare on the mainland - they like it up north where it's warmer - but are more common on predator-free islands.
They have a strong bite, but are not venomous.
This one hanging out on a friend's arm is about 16cm long. My friend is an 83-year-old retired biology teacher, so you can imagine his excitement.

I'm absolutely addicted to Brotato and collecting achievements, my progress so far. There are a lot of achievements to be had too.

I've also been playing the games in the Atari Recharged bundle. Mostly Yars Recharged, Centipede Recharged and Breakout Recharged. The bundle is really expensive normally, but it's 75% off and at $15 it's totally worth it.

The games are all modern reinterpretations of the classics. Yars Recharged is the one that I've played for the longest time (split between the GOG and Steam versions), but recently I have really liked playing Centipede Recharged.
