Yeah, everyone knows that Samus is part-Chozo genetically and that's what Nintendo would have been referring to, not anything trans-related. Indeed, if they've got any meme culture awareness, they'll slip this in somewhere just for the applause line.

Watched the 2025 remake of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (movie, not the terrible TV show from a few years ago). Movie is alright as a whole, pretty much just beat-for-beat redux of the first movie from 1997 or whenever that was. The main character isn't as mind-numbingly hot as 1997...

Celebrities manipulating their kids for social clout is pretty sick. I highly doubt all of their kids reached these conclusions/states without manipulation. Celebrity kids don't just happen to have 100x the odds of "being" something than a kid in the general population does, not without being...

At least ES games have varied, interesting environments and builds. BOTW doesn't have builds and most of the environments (at least that I've seen) are the same washed-out grasslands. People talk about how amazing it is at the beginning of BOTW when you step out into the open world and see the...

I've been paying more attention to the Mayan calendar, because it goes way further back in history than any other cultural timeline I know of. According to the Mayan calendar as of 1500 years ago or so, we're in the "5th age" of humanity, also known as the Fifth Sun. The fourth age ended around...

Ask a high-IQ person to speculate on any of these things and, unless they're trying to be socially acceptable, they all come to the same conclusions on things. So does AI, come to think of it, that's why AIs always have to be taken down and "fixed" before long. Who knows about Epstein though. I...

Are Heretics and Chapterhouse worth reading or can one stop with Book 4? I hate unresolved cliffhangers and I know Book 6 ends that way. I've never gone past Book 1 before and 2026 might be the year. Not looking to make more work for myself than I need to. Mainly asking if 5 and 6 really add...

WTF is a "new-half"? As a huge Metroid fan, this one somehow completely missed me.

Did you turn it off because it was off-putting or just didn't maintain interest? If interest, definitely give it another go. It's a really good movie IMO. Obviously T1/T2 are better because they're better than pretty much everything. TS is the only sequel to actually do something new with...

Two TLPs six months apart would work better in a lot of ways yes. However it would also reward serial rerollers. It'd potentially lower attrition on the overall game while increasing attrition on the individual servers. People would be a lot less likely to settle in and dedicate themselves to a...

Cool, I thought I was the only one in the world who gets nothing out of the two latest 3D Zeldas. They're visually washed-out, they have these giant empty-looking environments, and I hate the breakable weapons. "Throw bombs at everything" doesn't appeal to me. I just want to play normal Zelda...

"Shatters expectations" with 38 million dollars on opening weekend. I remember when Terminator Salvation got like 53 million on opening weekend and it was considered a huge disappointment. 2009 was a different world. Sometimes our media wasn't up to par, but at least they were trying (and not...

Which story changes? I finished the new versions of DQ1 and 3. They mostly just added things rather than changed things, I think? Like all the faerie bullshit in DQ1. Most of the new additions kinda sucked (that one five-on-one fight with the knight boss and four skeletons was a real bitch to...

That explains it. I was getting 10, 20, 40% exp from killing higher-level mobs in Velks on a 40ish Paladin persona (no PL, just a haste and a Diamond-Tipped War Javelin). Then I got the 120% for one of them out of nowhere, then it was back down. Was with LOTD + Extralife bonus. That 6x the...

Probably same here, Switch 2 is the first console I've regretted buying since... not even sure when. Maybe ever? PS4 wasn't very good on year 1 either but it at least felt like it had a point (being top of the line tech). Switch 2 though is just a weak counterpart to PS5 that can be brought on...
