As a bald person, I've never got a mosquito bite on my scalp.

To go along with what Arin mentioned earlier. Mosquito bites itch because when they bite, mosquitos inject their saliva which acts as an anti-coagulant. Keeps your blood a flowing. Your body recognizes a foreign body has entered your blood stream and reacts. Which is why you get a bump and itch.

[@KairuHakubi]

just another thing our body does that really doesn't help us at all because it only itches once the intrusion is already over, and scratching it makes it worse.

[@Quakefan7]

@Kairu Hakubi It itches because white blood cells are combating the enzymes and any pathogens in the mosquitoes saliva

[@KairuHakubi]

@@Quakefan7 mmm no i'm pretty sure it's purely histamines. they're involved in the infection fighting process but most of what they do is just irritate us, and activate unnecessarily (for most pathogens they might have) or ineffectively (for the ones that fuckin kill you)

[@EchoLog]

@@Quakefan7 in that way you outlined it does actually help, and the bumps and itching can be culturally interpreted as signs to rub yourself down in fresh mint. (Gross to mosquitos, soothes itching/burning sensations, grows like a weed) or rosemary (similar properties, doesn't grow like a weed but the bushes are very hardy, also vix vapor rub is just rosemary extract in petroleum jelly.)

[@supersungal2]

Oh then it makes sense why we used to put a liquid Benadryl on mosquito bites cuz it's an antihistamine!

So, there's a hidden VS mini-game in Mister Mosquito that you can get to by pressing R3 and then rotating the right stick 30 times. Basically, you're both on bicycles and you're trying to ram each other out of the ring, kind of like sumo wrestling. It's really doofy, but also really fun. My friends and I would stay up late and play it for hours while laughing our asses off. I'd love to see a Game Grumps VS with this!

"Did she call me a fly? I'm a mosquito." Meanwhile, mosquito literally means "little fly". Also, it weirded me out how they kept saying aloe like that. I guess it's probably a phonetic thing, but it's still weird.

You guys should totally play the first "Destroy All Humans!" For the PS2 at some point, it's the best! It's fun, the humor is amazing, and the guy that voices Zim (I can never remember his name) voices the character "Pox". Basically the short version is that you're playing as an alien named Cryptosporidium in 1950s America destroying all the humans. I really feel like you guys would LOVE it, it's the best, it was one of my favorite PS2 games growing up next "Blood Rayne" and "Hit 'N' Run!"

[@_underscore_9271]

I think the big difference between then and now in reference to weird games is that the way they're distributed has changed, so for the most part, and all the weird stuff gets buried on steam, where back then with almost everything getting a physical release it was much easier to find games like this since there are much fewer physical games released than digital. If you want a modern weird game you should give "Chicken Police: Paint it Red" a shot, there aren't really any unique mechanics, but it's still an odd obscure game, that's even got a physical console release and very good voice cast, it's a masterpiece Three others to look at that do have some unique mechanics are "Bomb Rush Cyberfunk" which is supposed to be kind of Jet Set Radio-esque "Concrete Genie," which is hard to explain And "Arms" which I don't personally know anything about except that people like it and it is supposed to be unique They are out there, but they're hard to find, granted they were hard to find back then too
