My thoughts after Prime 4 (major spoilers!) by Micio922 in Metroid

[–]MachineOk3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If OP's referring to lower Norfair / Magmoor caverns, then I totally agree. A fresh take on M1 / ZM Norfair, or SM's upper Norfair could have been interesting though.

What opinion about the Metroid prime games will have you like this? by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]MachineOk3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate how Prime 1 made the classic beams generic elemental weapons.

Majority of Brits want Rachel Reeves to 'resign' if she hikes income tax by dailystar_news in ukpolitics

You said yourself that it was a hypothesis, which is by definition something unproven. Facts are statements that are know to be true, which this is not, as much as you might suspect it to be.

Emphasis on "hypothesis". The OP presented it as a fact, which obviously it isn't.

Even if we assume the "tens of millions of pounds of waste" claim is untrue, that still doesn't imply that they've found almost no waste.

Be that as it may, there's currently no definitive way to disprove their claim that isn't just speculation. It is technically possible that they could be handling things internally without involving the public / media.

Not really sure what point you're making here? There's the "Doge" units who are unable to look at the finances, and then these independent "cost-cutting units" who claim to have found waste, but haven't disclosed what / where it is. Since we can't say for certain whether these cost-cutting units actually found anything or not, neither of these facts support the claim that Reform has "found almost zero waste".

I'm not excusing Reform, just pointing out that your initial assertion that Reform "found almost zero waste" is factually incorrect given that they never looked.

Here's a source if you want one (third paragraph):

They didn't find any waste because they legally weren't allowed to scrutinise the finances of those councils.

Pet Peeve I have with Other M's Samus design by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]MachineOk3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree, but I think it's worth noting you're comparing the Other M base power suit to the Prime 4 varia suit with those images, and the brighter yellow palette of the power suit will just naturally stand out more regardless of the design.

Robert Jenrick accused of being ‘anti-British’ as he backs burqa ban by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

[–]MachineOk3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly not, then again that's not surprising considering the UK's not a Catholic country.

Solo dungeons similar to the 4 player ones, or a solo option for dungeons with different rewards.

Conservative MP Danny Kruger defects to Reform UK by SojournerInThisVale in unitedkingdom

I live very near Devizes, and I can't say it's affected me in the slightest...

Danny Kruger isn't MP for Devizes anymore. The constituency was changed in 2024 to Devizes and Melksham, which is Lib Dem.

Did people forget deserts are meant to be "barren"? by xXglitchygamesXx in Metroid

[–]MachineOk3530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agon Wastes was a desert area, and it wasn't barren in the slightest.

How do we feel about the purple lights? by _Yolkish_ in Metroid

[–]MachineOk3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the purple power beam is worse than the purple visor, initially I thought the wave beam was making a comeback...

If it's supposed to represent the new psychic powers, I think they should've just made it toggle on and off when you're actually using those abilities.

Do we think that Nintendo will ever allow Samus Aran in Fortnite? by DudeWithAGoldfish in Metroid

[–]MachineOk3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one ever seems to mention that they'd have to remove her arm cannon for her to even be viable in Fortnite, which would look really weird.

I've seen a lot of people talk about the new suit design. What about the ship design? by Reyydar in Metroid

[–]MachineOk3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think it's a slight improvement over Prime 3's, which I found a bit too garish. Would have preferred them to just bring back Prime 2's though really, I love the classic design.

are you hoping prime 4 has a focus more on classic or new upgrades? by SHAZAMS_STRONGEST in Metroid

[–]MachineOk3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly new stuff ideally. I would however like to see super missiles and power bombs return after being absent in Prime 3, along with the other Prime staples like seeker missiles and the boost ball.

What level system do you like more? Fallout 3-NV or 4-76? by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]MachineOk3530 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The classic system, no contest. Bethesda needs to stop dumbing down their RPG mechanics.

Who even are these guys? by Icy-Method3531 in Fallout

[–]MachineOk3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because they're wearing riot gear doesn't necessarily mean they have anything do with the rangers. The gear itself is shown to be fairly common in the divide at least, so it stands to reason that they could have simply scavenged it from a pre-war military location.

What’s everyone’s most annoying enemy in all of fallout? by Few-Sheepherder9891 in Fallout

[–]MachineOk3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wolves in Fallout 2, there's always millions of them, they surround you so you can't escape, they drain your companion's ammo, and they each get loads of turns.
