    Science has already done as much beetle documentation as one can do without a bunch of resources, though. You wouldn’t be advancing it, just redoing it for fun. There’s nothing wrong with that, but there’s also nothing wrong with playing video games for fun.

      Replicating science is actually pretty important, and there’s no way a “civilized” area has the same beetles in 2025 as in 1820.

      Spend time becoming a scientist instead of optimising how to play Sonic, get the resources for further beetle documentation, bam!
