Super Hexagon. Terry Cavanagh's motherfucking Super Hexagon. The most ludicrously difficult game known to this guy in a bird mask. The SPINNING. The COLORS. The SPEED. Theoretically, this bitchass video game is SIX MINUTES LONG. YET IT IS SO OBNOXIOUSLY DIFFICULT IT TOOK ME SO MANY YEARS. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER. SO MANY YEARS. I MAY BE A HYPER HEXAGONER NOW, BUT IT WAS A FUCKING STRUGGLE!!!!!!
why. why am i so entranced by the game. I'm hypnotized like a chicken with it's head on the ground, staring at a line. The spinning. It grips me in it's rotations, the dopamine surging through me with every new record despite the oh so inevitable squishing of the triangle by the walls closing in so imminently, a constant dance of evasion and unpreventable death. GAME OVER. AGAIN. GAME OVER. AGAIN. GAME OVER. AGAIN. it is driving me insane, but yet i love it.
Blasting chiptunes, patterns to memorize, heart thumping pace and the sheer chaos is so delicious. Controls buttery smooth, mind zoning out. Accept your courtesy, sharpen your hearing to the announcer, and focus. Focus with all of your mind. It spins so fast it makes no sense, but if you focus, you can see the patterns and how you need to move or you'll die. But yet, this is the most exquisite form of entertainment to me. About speed, grace under pressure, chasing further and further high scores, and it never gets tiring.
I do not have a love-hate relationship with this game. Unlike a rage game, i do not out of spite, this is by no means a rage game, but out of how spectacular and delicious the sheer sensory barrage is, and the thrilling chase of a new high score, a new dopamine rush. I love you Super Hexagon, game of focus and reaction.

this one looks similar to a lot of the other large proteins on this blog, which means it looks terrible. nothing is quite as compact as it should be and we barely have any secondary structure to speak of. if anyone ever makes a cursed structure bingo, long unstructured loops encircling half the protein should be on there. the similarities between the larger structures suggest to me that the patterns in the english language are wildly different from the patterns of sequences found in real proteins, which is probably why these things tend to get worse as they get bigger.
