I lived on the ground floor of an apartment building that was lousy with millipedes. As pests go, millipedes are easy mode. They’re slow, they’re terrible climbers, and they crumble instead of squish. There’s a smell, but it’s not even that bad.
Occasionally there’d be a cockroach.
Then I moved to the second floor, and there were almost no millipedes, but more cockroaches. Also flying cockroaches.
It was like a video game. You’ve got your easy level 1 bugs with the occasional level 2 bug mixed in, then once you get to actual level 2, some of the level 2 bugs can fly.
Still not as bad as the third floor. The third floor was bats.

Millipedes are awesome! Centipedes less so. This is empirical proof that more feet = more awesome.
Take that metric users!
Decipedes, centipedes, millipedes… sounds metric to me.
I have a terrarium with a bunch!
There are so many millipedes this year at my work. I don’t ever remember seeing them now I have to keep cleaning up their carcasses

I wanna know what’s in the boss level on the rooftop.
OP never made it up there as there was no real metaprogression beyond knowledge checks.
the worst pest of them all, the landlord
Keep going and it’s a really lopsided asymmetrical open world horror game.
It was Houston, so if we’re sticking with native fauna, it was either an alligator or some kind of venomous snake.
Personally I always pictured a manticore, but I never did get up there to see.
if its an almond smell, its hydrogen cyanide, its thier defense mechanism. apparently they also produce other chemicals.
Spiral out
Fibonacci. Nacci. Nacho cheese. Yeah I’m eating that millipede
LOL, wait till you get their stinky defense juice on your hand. Real appetite killer that.
It’s an acquired taste.
Mmmmmm……juice
The logic checks out.
