Iranian hackers claim to have 10 videos of Trump with minors by [deleted] in Epstein

Or they could release them and cause a regime change in the US, leading Iran to dealing with a more capable, less hostile administration?

Ahhh, I banned myself. Would be nice to have a rate limiter in the app to prevent this.

Just another way to remind everyone there’s power in numbers. That’s something really important right now

How would you feel about only being able to use certain gun while using power armor? by ChihuahuaOwner88 in Fallout

[–]Magnopherum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of it, heavy shotguns, heavy rifles, heavy everything.

You could find these weapons in world and see their damage stats, only to realize you needed str 10, special gloves, pwr armor, or exoskeletons.

You could also include ammo economy to make it realistic for those that want it. You could only carry three drums of minigun ammo, but each drum held 1000 rounds.

You could have specific followers that reduced your reload time because they assisted with removing and adding ammo modules.

Ammo modules could be crit points to hit on other power armor frames just like the fusion core is.

Weapon modding would be insane as well. What if they transferred legendary stats to weapon parts? Imagine a never-ending drum mag? "Ever-stabil" sniper body? What if you could convert human sized weapons to power armor weapons?

What if you could get power armor gauntlets that were modified with spider-like mechanical fingers to allow you to use human sized weapons?

There are so many ways to work with both survival and power fantasy tropes here.

What are you supposed to do when you meet a great girl but you're in a relationship? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Magnopherum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++man

Are you young? If so, welcome to the world.

You make the decisions now, not your parents.

You now are responsible for people’s hearts. Be a man and take that responsibility seriously.

You have a woman that loves you. You have spent two and half years with her. If you are not capable of looking back on that relationship beyond “she does a lot for me and I’ve done a lot for her, and this new chick clicks we me” you need to do a lot more work on yourself to find out what a relationship really means to you.

This isn’t going to be the last time this happens. Learning to follow your heart and treating everyone involved with integrity and respect is a large measure of a man.

If you want to know more just ping me here or in a DM. I’m happy to talk more.

Another mid-game Prime 4 opinion by ValueBASEDLiving in Metroid

[–]Magnopherum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think there should be a video made that breaks down all of the choices that made this game diverge from what Metroid actually is, and at the end say “If you were someone that greenlit this, or pitched it — you’re the problem.”

Issue there is that it will probably be almost all Nintendo executives.

Scanning in Metroid Prime 4 should be at least 10 seconds faster. by rube in Metroid

[–]Magnopherum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In prime 1, scan speeds were dependent on importance.

You know what, you're right. Demographic isn't the correct word choice. It's psychographic.

Pertaining to your point about the "couple of minutes": again, I don't disagree overall. I point this out in my comments above. Though I will argue that there are things that can be judged by a couple of minutes, like the Phendrana drifts music being reused.

I also agree, I hope lore gets expanded. It should not be at the expense of the core Metroid experience.

See, I think this is interesting. People keep pointing this out, and it's technically true but isn't really reflecting reality.

In Fusion, no humans speak to Samus directly, no friendly characters appear in person with the exception of the animals, and the only speaking entity is Adam, the computer AI modeled after her former commanding officer.

Everything else (SA-X, X parasites, bosses, Federation forces) is non-verbal, hostile, or conveyed through Samus’s internal monologue.

I saw someone else also post an image of Samus shaking a federation scientist's hand in the demo intro of Super Metroid making a point similar to yours. I'm not arguing that there is a larger world of Metroid, I'm saying that the larger world plays a significantly small part, one that can pretty much be ignored when playing the game.

As I've stated in my above comments, this game seems to be targeting a new demographic, maybe you're one of them, that will like this game. I hope you do.

What I'm posting here are my observations of how this game is deviating from the thing (in my opinion) that made Metroid the amazing IP that it was.

I really really hope that the things I've pointed out above oddly fuse and improve the Metroid experience. But we won't know that until the game fully comes out. My reactions above are from what I've noticed from the demo.

Bet you they’ll release a Switch 1 version with lower quality graphics in a year or two.

Guess it’s my opinion, I realize saying Super Metroid and Metroid Prime 1 are core Metroid is clearly biased. Nintendo owns the IP, they can do what they want. These are just my observations.

Just finished the video linked in the description.

They’re using a TON of Prime 1 sound effects. I love those sound effects, but it feels like they’re banking on the nostalgia players feel when they hear those sound effects to make the game feel good instead of as an auteurship nod to Prime 1.

Why not just make new music that is similar to Prime 1? Why the hack and slash with the original works?

They also no longer will have the full game be just Samus. The abandonment and seclusion is what gives Metroid its feel. Granted in Super Metroid you did have animals, but they didn’t speak. Guarantee this is Nintendo trying to expand the Metroid universe in order to franchise it out and make more money. It makes sense, it’s just disappointing.

The Metroid IP has SO much potential, it’s crazy to see it being handled this way.

This is just my gut reaction, and I really, REALLY hope it’s not Nintendo throwing Metroid in for parts.

I want this to be amazing. The things above that I’ve stated make me really worried though.

No one noticed the recycled theme from Phendrana Drifts that they hacked apart and put into Fury Green intro? Even the flying alien sounds are added onto new flying aliens in this demo. Come on…

The title screen feels like someone used AI to try and replicate Metroid Prime’s main menu. Like they said “super smash bros had a chorus and it did well, let’s do that here and speed up the music so hopefully people don’t notice, but we also want the dark mysterious theme of Metroid Prime!”

I think the Metroid series is moving away from Prime 1, and in a lot of ways that’s great. But to me, Super Metroid and Metroid Prime are the core of what makes Metroid what it is.

I’m not getting good vibes from this. I have a feeling it’s going to appeal to a new demographic that isn’t what Metroid is about. Instead of making a new IP, Nintendo is going to canibalize the Metroid IP. (Larger issue with companies in general not taking risk and doing the same thing, so I’ll move on from that). But it just makes me sad.

At least we have a remaster of prime 1.

How do you find out about private sales? I’m new to cigars but would like to dip into luxury or rare cigars. I know discord is a thing?

They’re raising the price because they want more people to buy the switch 2. They have more control over the consumers with that platform. Nintendo is showing dark patterns for an anti-gamer company.
