Arthur Magalhaes Witchers don't really look very different to regular people, barring the cat eyes and (probable) multitude of scars. Geralt undergoes loads of extra mutations which bleach his hair. So he's weird, even for a Witcher

@@TheThegoldenspatula the Trial of the Grasses can bring forth many side effects (one of which is their sterilization), albinism (lack of production of melanin) can be one of them.

@@catarinamagalhaes4775 Though as far as I remember things like being sterile is normal for witchers (e.g. one of the loading lines in Witcher 3 states that). Having white hair is caused by the unnatural amount of mutations or the unusually high pain inflicted on Geralt even from a Witcher's perspective. The only other witcher I remember being white-haired is Ciri. But for normal witchers like Vesemir or Lambert having white hair doesn't seem to be a expected side effect like becoming sterile (which apparently every witcher is, though not 100% certain)

not all the witchers have long white hair... .

HTM geralt is a “Witcher 2.0”. He bested the Witcher trials with relative ease and underwent further more difficult trials and mutations which affected his hair. That’s why he’s the only Witcher with white hair.

Accurate af lmao

@Romeo M Its ok geralt sees bandits as monsters too

Geralt was using silver only against monsters and only the ones that was sensitive to silver. Otherwise he was using only steel. Silver sword is to fragile to fight anything most of the time.

Geralt when he's about to go down on a woman: Ugh, that stench.

"Damn, you're ugly"

I guess that would match his training in Kaher pretty well, as it's a pretty high ways up.

Excellent point. I look at it from the other side of the coin: I have a form of anemia wherein I produce a LOT of red blood cells but my body essentially eats them, leaving me somewhat anemic (my doc keeps an eye on things and despite what WebMD says, I'm not dying of any horrible disease .. in fact, the cause of my condition is unknown, although it seems genetic, so it's not really harmful, just annoying). In an attempt to maintain health in my fifties, I work out HARD most of the week (CrossFit, martial arts, etc.) which has greatly improved my blood work results. My resting heart rate is in the mid fifty bpm range (like my age, LOL). But if we're doing some especially aerobic stuff (or I decide to outpace the younger ones working out), once my heart rate gets up pretty good, I'm DONE ... can't breathe, muscles worn out, vision might get dim ... but give me a minute to drop my heart rate and I'm as fresh as if I just took a nap. That's my long-winded way of saying I'm looking at the situation from the opposite side and you are totally right. Hmm ... maybe I should move high up on a mountain, force my body to adjust, develop polycythemia which would then edge me over into "normal" range? Darn my choice to live on the coast! ;) LOL!

@@CeltKnight Thanks for sharing your story! I'm glad its something you are managing well!

You are a SUPER NERD * guitar sounds *

jucom I wish, that would make my year, and it’s only just begun!

In the game you can clearly see in the dark of the night whats going on. Like in most games. In reality you wouldnt be able..try to go in a forest at night. You see shit. The potion enhance this ability even in pitch black darkness

@@Tuxedosnake00 You don't get my point. Nocturnal animal like cats don't require addiational help to see in the dark. So why go through a mutation that is totally unnecessary if you still require aid? And no, I cannot remember how many times I to brew potions or walk with the lantern to be able to see. During the fight with the werewolf in his cave, You couldnt see shit without help.

I guess it just further enhances the effect. Think about it, witchers sometimes have to fight in pitch black darkness against opponents that are super fast and/or almost transparent. Under those conditions having anything less than perfect eyesight might prove to be fatal. This implies that the witcher's normal eyes are simply not perfect, so they need the cat potion.

Having 'cat eyes' let you shave in brokilon night light. You take a potion when you go into mines, caves etc.

@@DiZeHiZe ah ah ah, nocturnal animals can see in the dark but cats need to see during the day too, their eyes being too sensitive to light would make them useless while the sun is out, the witcher doesn't need the aid of the potions, they just boost his abilities without making a permanent change that could be highly detrimental later.

agh it's a plane destiny 2 is that

also without Nanomachines, son!

Yeah it almost super💪soldier or super hunter‼

And his backstory, lore, etc. Is actually competently made, unlike more recent stuff

@@mrsmeee1843 but some parts of the lore don't make much sense. It's clear that tge whole witcher program was sponsored by a king who put together the best alchemists and mages to cone up with the mutation process and the best knights to train the subjects. What is absurd is why the witchers are independent, even if the kingdom that created them fell surely another kingdom would step in and take over. Witchers would perform much better if they operated inside the organization of a royal army. They'd function as rangers, directly paid a stipend by the royal treasure, always equipped with the best gear available and able to rely on the support of the army for missions that required more manpower.

Call me a cynic but I don’t think 100 percent completions mean as much as they used to. Feels like most game nowadays you could complete 95 percent just doing the story mission.

Oxygen has 2 Valence electrons, that's how to look at it. Carbon has 4, Fluorine has 1. ETC, however the amount of Valence electrons means very little in actuality, because there are non-valence electron bonds as well, valence electrons basically mean a vacuum that could house an electron, but even so, the view of electrons as existing in shells is extremely faulty. After all, Electrons aren't really bound by some law to any particle in particular and exist purely as possibility clouds around atomic nucleus.

Darn, didn't scroll down far enough before I did my comment on telomeres. Yeah and there are other organisms that don't have that reduction process that we have in ours. If I recall we do have a specific mechanism that cuts a little bit of it away every replication and we're working on turning that off cause things like the starfish are basically immortal.... If it's in optimal conditions at all times.

well no because telomeres are just rebuilt by telomerase, at least for a long while. long-lived populations have been found to have overexpressed telomerase, but still got "old" at the same rate and just didn't suffer the catastrophic cell failure that the absence of telomeres would cause (exonuclease breaking down the DNA due to exposed ends). the real way to make people be "younger" for longer is more efficient cellular repair by slightly overexpressing the proteins that fix simple mismatches or by making the cells keep extra junk copies of the DNA for so it can be used for homologous recombination which doesn't delete any part of the code instead of non-homologous end-joining which deletes as much as the DNA is broken. also more a more sensitive cell death mechanism is probably needed if the speed is cranked up when healing wounds, which would drastically reduce the chance of cancer. witchers or longer-lived people in general need a system for regenerating damaged nerve cells and cleaning up leftover proteins as to not go senile or get altzheimer's.

@@alexandergarfield1561 that's non-homologous end joining and it's required to fix double-strand breaks in DNA as eukaryotes aren't literally always replicating their DNA, so they don't have a reference string of DNA to perfectly fix it by

Fun fact about lobsters: they produce an enzyme called telomerase, which repairs telomeres. If one of the Witcher mutations allows Geralt to produce teolmerase, that could at least partially account for his longevity.

Batspecies of the genus Myotis do not age and only die due to starvation (dental wear) or other external events (accidents, dehydration). These species do not produce telomerase but have up to 21 'telomere maintanance' genes (e.g. ATM, SETX) that prevent the individuals from ageing....

It is an ethical problem as you're changing one person and forcing that change on another. You're not born with random genes you can only be born with the ones passed onto you, sans mutations of course. If a person chooses to change their genes then has a child that child now has genes that were chosen for them by their parent, not the ones that they would have had if their parent hadn't chosen to be altered.

@@preciousinfinity How is it different from getting genes chosen by evolution? The new person just gets assigned genes, with no say over it anyway. (When I said: "random genes (just filtered by evolution)" I mean the same as "passed genes with mutations" - The 'passed' genes were originally random too, just refined by evolution and by small mutations - it's equivalent to random+filtered)

@@preciousinfinity Also, everybody's genes are mutated, and everybody has the right to pass their genes forward. - The only difference in this case is: The mutations of genes of "my parents" are better than random.

@@Verrisin I think the very fact that were having this conversation proves that it's an ethical problem

Example: I was born short. I didn't wanted to be short! But my parents are, so genes did they thing. They forced this gene to me, is it not ethical? No, its natural and its evolution.

Usually lower heart beats are associated to people that are fit , athletes and so on .They can have even between 30-40 bpm while resting . A normal person usually has between 65-80 bpm while resting. A fit person with lower bpm can have a heart that is way more effective than a normal person as the heart is stronger and pumps more blood in one beat and therefore more oxygen. So a healthy sporty person with low bpm can have a better blood flow than a healthy person with higher bpm.

I’m also gonna guess that through meditation and things, Gerald is able to control his heartbeat, so when he meditates he is almost able to accelerate his healing even more.

Geralt its spelled Geralt

@@MandaClaudiuMCM I totally agree with what you said, but in a healing process the body have to increase blood pressure and vasodilation in the veins to be able to transport big cell and organelles, also demanding more energy to do that, increasing the use of oxygen and ATP, all that would make Geralt hyperventilate and increase his bpm. Even professional athletes have higher bpm and blood pressure when healing from a injury.
