MPP is glorious

Gonna be controversial and say Metroid Prime Hunters... mainly because that's the one I've spent the most time with.

Zero Mission takes a close second, though.

Depends on the game. I've seen it labelled both ways.

It's better for making a pretty island or a nicely-decorated house. And the vault pole is a real benefit early on, before you can build bridges. Otherwise, NL really is the better game.

As a controller nerd, I think I may be in the market for some of those hot takes

Yes. They do occasionally transliterate, and I think it'd be nice if they'd done so across the board.

Tangentially related: there are a lot of moments in Firefly where the characters speak Chinese. Instead of captioning it properly, they just write "[speaks Chinese]".

Which is especially jarring when you have a whole [speaks Chinese] sentence with a [speaks Chinese] phrase in the middle.

I had Spotify on shuffle once, and it played the same song twice in a row. On two separate occasions.

On the modern games taking forever to get to the point: I've been playing the Paper Mario TTYD remake on Switch. Out of curiosity, I watched a little gameplay from the GameCube original... and glory be, does it look snappy. They definitely padded out the animations and stuff in the remake.

Could it be that you had a lot more time on your hands, and perhaps fewer games to play, as a kid? I know that aligns with my experience with other games. (Then again, having not played gen 3 myself, it might not be that deep)

When I did a legendary Combat Evolved solo run, there were one or two speedrunning strats I borrowed. Probably could do the same for H2 - one of the later levels, you can skip entirely if you do it right.

Halo 3 is a lot of fun, and it's got some brilliant setpieces, but in terms of plot it's always felt a bit of a rush job.

Even so, I love it to bits and it occupied many memorable evenings between 2008-2010. Definitely a much easier Legendary experience than Halo 2.

VMware offers their Workstation hypervisor for free now. I'm able to run Windows 10 surprisingly well using that, and use relatively intensive software like Affinity Designer without any noticeable issues.

Or maybe they wrote 'darn' but with dodgy keming?

As a (almost) lifelong TS2 fan, even I would be hard pressed to pay what they're charging.

This just reminds me of the mod situation for early versions of Minecraft. These days it's as simple as pressing a button and dropping your mods into a folder, but back then it was a case of directly modifying the main Java file, removing specific bits, adding specific bits in specific places... not smooth at all

But that means it won't get any more stale. Emergency baguettes for everyone!

Oh, I wasn't aware of the Paperless app! Thanks!
