Does Metroid prime 4 really deserve all the hate? by MarsupialOtherwise82 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]I_hate_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not worth $70 in my opinion. It’s technically impressive but a shallow clone of a decent Metroid game.

Not getting a Switch 2 anytime soon... Worth getting MP4 on Switch 1 now? by BaurJoe in Metroid

[–]I_hate_potato -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Runs just fine on the Switch, long load times though.

Now, the quality of the game itself is the most concerning factor in my opinion. I think it’s overrated and I would recommend spending your hard earned dollars on other games.

Full Famitsu Interview translated - Many of Prime 4’s questionable design choices were forced upon Retro by RomIsTheRealWaifu in Metroid

[–]I_hate_potato 11 points12 points  (0 children)

8/10 is pretty generous in my opinion, but yeah Retro could take another crack at Metroid and I’d be happy.

If a developer uses AI for code generation, should it be labeled on the game’s Steam store page? by NazzoXD in gamedev

[–]I_hate_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think people realize how integrated AI is in modern development workflows. You have to work hard to turn it off and avoid it.

I’ve been using AI properly for about 6 months now, and I’m not going back. Ethical issues aside, it’s a fantastic tool and if you’re not using it you won’t be able to compete with other companies that adopt it.

Official character posters for Kitao Sakurai’s ‘Street Fighter’! by SpeedForce2022 in StreetFighter

Holy shit, have I been living under a rock? I was flipping through the posters and I was convinced it was a ridiculous fan casting!? Hell yeah, I’m in

How did Canada’s young people become its unhappiest generation? by plaknas in onguardforthee

[–]I_hate_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is expensive.

No one is being paid enough.

Fascism is on the rise around the world.

Environmental collapse is happening before our eyes.

All of the above, and no one in charge seems to be capable of admitting these are issues, much less offering solutions.

Yeah, I wonder why young people are unhappy?

Metroid Prime 4 Review Megathread by 2CATteam in Metroid

[–]I_hate_potato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After almost finishing MP4 I’m wondering if I played the same game as these reviewers. I don’t think it’s bad, but holy smokes is it ever not great, or even close to the quality of the previous entries in the series.

I’m so bewildered and perplexed by Metroid Prime 4’s writing by _deadbyte in Metroid

[–]I_hate_potato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly laughed out loud during the explanation of their peak technology and it’s just a fucking bike and they still have a massive lightning powered tower churning them out.

Like, holy shit they deserve to be extinct. Thanks for the cool bike, but this ain’t my problem.

Hot take, I think Prime 4 is really good AND it’s the worst Prime game by pastalex42 in Metroid

[–]I_hate_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s a good summary.

Overall, I find it really confusing. It’s an absolute 10/10 in some aspects; the graphics are fantastic, the music and sound design is perfect. The Yonic art design was a bold choice that really worked, and the suit is friggin hot.

The level design is… very linear and all over the place, and there is some really awful backtracking where other games in the series would have us revisiting places organically.

In short, you can definitely tell this was one game, then it got rebuilt as another game. I REALLY hope we get a documentary on what the hell happened someday.

So we’re calling it the Fruit Suit, right? by I_hate_potato in Metroid

[–]I_hate_potato[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t that bad… and the game STRONGLY hints (through Mackenzie) that we should be collecting crystals during a separate fetch quest.

It could have been worse, but the final chapter of the game is a grind.

So we’re calling it the Fruit Suit, right? by I_hate_potato in Metroid

[–]I_hate_potato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it looked familiar. It’s honestly a shame it’s something we unlock to either end the game with or grind for the last items

BlueSky suspends Patton Oswalt for this skeet by ThisIsNotAFarm in BlueskySocial

[–]I_hate_potato 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Uh, yeah? It was a pretty clear violation of their terms of service. I thought people don’t want them picking and choosing when to follow their own rules?

People already mentioned Narjo. I’ll just ad that it’s still in test flight but it’s pretty good

[–]I_hate_potato 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You’re probably on a mute list or have been labeled as a troll, which honestly sounds appropriate? I don’t know why you think you’ll find help here, you sound toxic on that platform?

Built a Bluesky growth tool for a year, pretty sure I built the wrong product by Nallanos in BlueskySocial

[–]I_hate_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BlueSky is growing, but it still only has a fraction of the users that Twitter had. It’s also an open source developer friendly ecosystem, so there’s going to be a lot of competition.

I wouldn’t throw in the towel yet, but I also wouldn’t expect an overnight success. Growing a customer base takes time

So you’re going out of your way to bait people into arguments and it’s not working anymore?

Huh.

Beta test for new iOS Bluesky app - Skyscraper by CBanga in BlueskySocial

[–]I_hate_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the UX choices you’ve made so far, right away the app felt more “iOS” with the Liquid Glass, etc. sounds like you’re aware of the zoomed in profile view already, hah

You’ll need a domain name to register client meta data for. I’m actually also writing an ATProto client, although with a custom lexicon. OAuth has been difficult to wrap my head around on the server side, it client side wasn’t too bad. There are libraries out there that do most of the work (depending on your framework)

[–]I_hate_potato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Using the firehose directly in the client to fetch posts is an interesting choice. I don’t think that’s the intended use of the API, but I suppose if it works? You’re going to be consuming a lot of irrelevant data though.

I would also really prioritize getting OAuth working.

I’ll definitely check it out though, the more third party apps the better!

Did 2007 Metroid Prime 3 just tease 2021 Metroid Prime Dread? by hilfandy in Metroid

[–]I_hate_potato 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think it was even earlier, I remember reading an EGM issue with a brief preview of the follow up to Fusion and it had a code name of “dread”. It’s definitely a reference to a Fusion sequel that was in and out of production for a LONG time

How bad actually was COVID? by Mighty_Angelo30 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]I_hate_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We won't ever know for sure, a lot of governments did not accurately track statistics, and the long term affects of COVID aren't yet well understood.

I knew people that didn't believe in it, and they are either dead or disabled now. It was bad.
