There’s a new minigame in Borderlands 3 that lets you do some real-world science and help research the human b⭕iome. Hopefully this lets us all forget about how much of ꦕan awful person Randy Pitchford is.
We’re not going to talk about the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:many controversies ﷽of Gearbox’s President and CEO. Instead, we’re going to talk about the good that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Borderlands 3 can do for society. Specifically due to the new minigame that was just installed in Tannis’ room aboa💫rd Sanctuary 3.
It’s called Borderlands Science, and it looks exactly like an old-school arcade cabinet. But this isn’t just some stupid minigame where you can get in-game cash to fuel your booster items (although it most certainly is that too). It’s actually a real-life science experiment that’s crowdsourcing Borderlands 3🅘 players for help.
On the surface, Borderlands Science looks like any old tile-matching game where you try to line up differently colored tiles featuring the faces of various Borderlands 3 characters. Below the sꦕurface, though, you’re actually sequencing DNA for gut microbes for scientists around the world.
It turns out that artificial intelligence is still kinda bad at sorting stuff when that stuff all looks kinda similar, as is the case with bacteria from your intestines. To fine-tune things, scientists have reached out to Gearbox to help, and what they did was turn the painstaking process of manually sorting that DNA into a minigame that you can play on Sanctuary 3. Play Borderlands Science, help real scientists figure out how your gut DNA wor𝄹ks🍎, and earn in-game cash. It’s that simple.
So far, have already been completed, but there’s still millions𝔉 more data points that need correcting. So barge into Tanis’ room and get sequencing!
