Pretty disappointing that microbiologists and biologists are the same size, generally speaking.

@revealingtoomuch would you be surprised to discover that Plant Scientists are, in fact, made of meat?

@drj @revealingtoomuch plant scientists are actually Sylvari (the playable humanoid plants from guild wars 2) in disguise, if you squint at them hard enough you’ll realize they actually look like this

@enby_of_the_apocalypse @revealingtoomuch i hadn't heard of Guild Wars 2; it seems like a good game let down by poor kerning.

@drj @revealingtoomuch idk what kerning means. I love this game and think it’s really underrated.

@enby_of_the_apocalypse @revealingtoomuch kerning is modifying the space between particular letter pairs. In your Sylvari picture, in the word "WARS" in the top-right, there is slightly too much space between the W and the A. Better kerning would reduce this space and give a more even visual texture to the words.

@drj @revealingtoomuch ah, that. I just didn’t know the word for it. It does look kinda different to the fonts used for the game usually.

@drj @revealingtoomuch looks a lot better to me than that url in the picture of the Sylvari
