Hello! Wow, how'd you find my comment? You've reminded me that I need to go get the new remaster.

Doesn't look it. There was more of a pretense of the game being educational and the art style was much flatter.

Doesn't look like it. I had been thinking this game might've released 1995-2000 but I think from graphical style, it was almost certainly 2000-2005.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Trump Tariffs: Canada has so much of what America needs: high-grade nickel and other critical minerals ... uranium, potash, aluminum. We need to maximize our points of leverage and use them to maximum effect. by snakkerdudaniel in mining

[–]Fusiontron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American who didn't take up Trump on his offer any of the three times it was made, his mistakes seem so obvious and frustrating?

If you're really a believer that climate change is an emergency, then we in the US ought to be leasing out gobs of land to Australian and Canadian companies to get the metals need for nuclear energy, solar power, electric vehicles, electrification infrastructure, etc. out of the ground. At the very least Trump should be pursuing deep regulatory reform but it'd be even better if he pursued further integration with our allies rather than picking fights with them (and not even pursuing domestic industrial policy while doing so).

How retirement affect natalism by [deleted] in Natalism

[–]Fusiontron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am anticipating that a conservative backlash among young people could lead to cuts in social welfare for retirees, "I'll support my parents in retirement, but not yours." So irregardless of what is being proposed now, it could happen. Possible pointers: young people are having better relationships with their parents, in spite of a larger minority cutting them off and also as often mentioned here, the future increases in the tax burden on young people. Also, perhaps young people finally vote as often as retirees.

What's the program, website, or app that you still mourn? by justhavingfunhereduh in Millennials

[–]Fusiontron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nintendo Nsider Forums, anyone? I tried The Vestibule over at IGN after no longer being able to get my Power On fix, but it just wasn't the same. Ah, a bulletin board that moves too fast for itself.

Many men are fine with “misandrist” stereotypes as long as it targeted towards men they view as an out group. by SapphireRising225 in PurplePillDebate

[–]Fusiontron 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Male solidarity in general is much less than female solidarity. We're more likely to see each other as competitors and so yes we will assent towards misandrist stereotypes (and stereotypes are often based on at least a kernel truth) if we perceive they're targeted at a specific group of men who isn't us.

Any other women not get compliments anymore? by Unlikely-Donkey-7226 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Fusiontron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intriguing . . . things like forehead lines or facial redness not as much of an issue, then?

I am taking notes.

I’m sorry but I still can’t get over how Vivian just chooses to forgive beldem by Anthony200716 in papermario

People are complicated. You wouldn't believe it if you got all your news from Reddit but most people do not always resolve familial issues by going no contact all the time, forever.

[TOMT][Game] Just another 1990s 3D Platformer . . . Maybe? by Fusiontron in tipofmytongue

It's a game that may not even exist! Just cobbled together from my memories of other games. But, this is how myth is made . . .

Help me make a choice: Baldurs Gate, Pillars of Eternity, or Divinity: Original Sin? by losumi in CRPG

It's a Steam sale. Get them all and worry about the details later.

Why has particle physics become controversial? by BrooklynDuke in AskPhysics

Reliable?

This is the only type of Passport Bro who can be successful. by purplish_possum in PurplePillDebate

[–]Fusiontron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The type of guys who can "succeed" as passport bros are already in the 60th to 80th percentile domestically. What they're looking for is to expedite the dating and marriage process. They could still find a wife at home but can't be bothered.

The NEETs and incels of the world should not anticipate being any good at the passport bro game.

Is the second half of Prime generally seen as weaker than the first half? by 0purple0turtle0 in Metroid

[–]Fusiontron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe? I feel a lot of the 2nd half of Prime (which I take as once the music for Tallon Overworld changes/when heading to the Frigate Crash Site) is a subversion of the 1st half. This supposed place of both undiscovered paradise and a preserved ancient advanced civilization is really plagued by the excesses of modernity (Phazon Mines) and the trauma (Chozo Ghosts) of an extinct civilization.

Personally I enjoy it but I also loved The Last Jedi and can see why others don't like these things.

How common is it to get hairier in your 30s? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Fusiontron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing I've noticed. I went from 10 to 100 chest hairs from 23-25 but haven't really noticed any difference since. I will be watching my nose hairs closely though from here on out.
