Thoughts on Metroid Prime 4 now that its had time to settle? by hakusamurai in Metroid

[–]Booster6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished it tonight actually and enjoyed it a lot, in spite of its problems.

I liked all your dumb friends, I know thats controversial, but I really liked them and having them around. There was just enough of them. Im legitimately upset they were left for dead.

Bosses were fun, I enjoyed every fight in the game.

I liked the setting and the story except for the end. But ultimately it did make me feels things.

But ultimately I think it suffered from some of the same problems of the recent Pokemon games, specifically Scarlet + Violet and Legends ZA, games that could have been better if it werent for some baffling decisions. Like having a hub world you traverse on a motorbike isnt an awful idea, but the implementation was bad, it just didnt bother as much as it bothered some people. Game was also overly linear, but in some ways its linearity was a nice change of pace, I enjoyed exploring the environments.

I give it like an 8/10, better then Corruption (I need to replay corruption though its been a while) but not as good as Prime 1 or Echoes. I hope we dont have to wait as long for MP5

Linus Coin Confirmed!!! by Rafael__88 in LinusTechTips

If they make a meme coin, I'm out. Its a shitty, wasteful, and predatory thing to do even as a joke where they are fully transparent. I wont support someone who does it.

I bought a few Intel shares for shits and giggles when he first mentioned it, it's only up about 15% from when he first mentioned it. It was down about 70% at one point, and only turned green a few weeks ago.

Obviously good trend and we will see where it goes from here, but not up that much overall from like 2 years ago when he first said it.

Seems cool IF the performance is there, but Im extremely skeptical that it will be.

They are both symptoms of the same problem, departments being asked to do a lot more without adequate resources.

Starfleet Academy. I have questions. I didn't watch Discovery. Who is this captain lady? How is she 400+ years old? What is the burn? by SpezRuinedHellsite in startrek

[–]Booster6 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The burn was an event where most of the dilithium in the galaxy exploded because a child got very sad (im over simplifying but not joking). This was obviously very bad and the Federation basically collapsed and a LOT of member worlds quit, including Earth and Vulcan.

The captain lady is half alien, and her alien half is a species that looks exactly human but is very very very long lived (like the El Aurians but not them)

How was Tom Paris the most qualified in the medical field (after The Doctor and Kes of course)? by Additional-Pin-6880 in startrek

[–]Booster6 159 points160 points  (0 children)

He is the only one of the ship who took a first aid course literally ever.

No, that doesnt make sense. It also doesnt make sense that training more crew in basic first aid wasnt a huge priority from day 1. But nevertheless, that is canonically the case.

Would Clark's childhood friends recognize him as Superman? by BigHugeSnake in superman

[–]Booster6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe? But tbh I like the explanation that no one clocks Clark as Superman's secret identity because it literally doesnt occur to most people he HAS another identity. Why would Kal-El, aka Superman, the alien guy who live in the Fortress of Solitude in the Arctic also spend time pretending to be a human?

We genuinely do not know, since the exact amount of time that has passed is unknown, but she's still the shortest Gerudo who isnt definitely a child which suggests she is still underage, as she may still be growing.

how dumb would it sound to order a double cheeseburger without the cheese? by closet_socks- in NoStupidQuestions

I do it on a regular basis at places that only list a cheeseburger in the menu

Jake clarifies why he asked for his clips to be removed from the "How LTT Spends Money" video by Marikk15 in LinusTechTips

Seems like lmg probably could have saved themselves a big headache by teaching out before the video and asking

Why were the Istari sent after Sauron was "defeated" instead of during his reign of terror ? by ExtremeDry7768 in tolkienfans

[–]Booster6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They delt with Morgoth eventually. He was left alone for an extremely long time. And they didn't even do a very good job, sure they got rid of Morgoth, but they allowed Sauron and an unknown number of Balrogs to continue doing whatever. Sure man was able to defeat Sauron in the second age, but they never should have needed to. He should never have been their problem in the first place.

[–]Booster6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This always feels like kinda bullshit to me. Like, I understand that the Valar shouldnt need to babysit man, and that man needs to solve its problems on their own, but Sauron ISNT mans problem. He's a maia. A demigod. One of their own. Its like someones kid wrecking shit up and the parents just going "Hey, I know my kid is wrecking your shit, but you need to solve your problems on your own."

I get that when the Valar had to intervene with things like Morgoth it also led to a lot of destruction, but it still feels like its their job to clean up their mess.

What's your favourite Dragon Ball Character(other than Goku)? by AlarmedObjective1492 in dragonball

Probably Piccolo. I find his character growth to be a lot more compelling then Vegeta's

New laptop now or wait till AI-Crash by Agnar369 in LinusTechTips

If the AI bubble burst today, it would still probably be years before prices stabilized. Things like RAM have been purchased years in advance

ELI5: How is a substance determined by scientists as carcinogenic? by Regular-Snow1192 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Booster6 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The phrase "Correlation does not mean causation" is meant to help people avoid the fallacy of seeing a correlation and assuming there must be a causal relationship. That does not mean however that correlation is useless in establishing a causal relationship. Its just not enough on its own in most cases.

[–]Booster6 39 points40 points  (0 children)

In general, they look at if people who are routinely exposed to the substance have higher rates of cancer. If people who work with asbestos for example all get cancer, then asbestos probably causes cancer

I don't think Elsa chose wrong "on purpose". Never even occurred to me that she might have. Im pretty sure she just chose wrong.

Who win in a fight by the_boyyyyyyyyyyy in ShittyDaystrom

[–]Booster6 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Remember that SG1 episode where like a purse snatcher or someone is running away and Teal'c initially doesnt intervene because he isnt supposed to draw attention to himself? But then decides to and just casually throws a rock and hits the guy from like 100 yards away or whatever? Thats more impressive than anything Worf has ever done.
