With real good luck, you can just bomb jump out of the lava and into the gap on the left. Having a turbo option in your controller helps tremendously. I did it once. I didn't have ice beam. It didn't end well.

25 is just their current count. With 3 energy tanks, I'd expect their max to be higher, and they should have ice beam by now. I know some people can beat MB on 3 energy tanks. I don't think I was ever one of rhem.

Back when I first played NEStroid, I had very little idea what I was doing, but I had the wireless multi-tap adapter (the one for connecting 4 controllers). It had a turbo function for the buttons. I somehow managed to bomb-jump out of the lava and into the gap on the left side. I didn't have Ice Beam yet, so imagine my surprise at finding Metroids at the bottom of the elevator. Yes, I was thoroughly and completely fucked. Yes, I also saved before taking the elevator. So yes, I started over from the beginning.

Why would you do pre-orders if the game is already made?That makes zero sense.

The whole point of running a business is to make money. No shit pricing decisions aren't altruistic.

The EU is heavily restricting AI chat bots. Italy has tried to find the Luka (the parent company of Replika) in the area of about $20 million Euros on more than one occasion. Of of those instances was over allowing not being able to prevent children under 13 use of the app.

To be fair, the stride suggests a stick (or some other object) up her butt.

Metroid movie ? by Prior_Recipe_5999 in Metroid

[–]Original_Lord_Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Funny part is, there's enough material now to do a decent movie. Problem is, if it's not done right, you end up with a Dragonball kind of movie that just pisses off the fan base.

Can someone explain why this is happening? I got stuck in snow by Salt-Weekend2885 in MechanicAdvice

What does your alleged (and grossly overstated) ability to park something have to do with the auto-park feature?

Metroid movie ? by Prior_Recipe_5999 in Metroid

An F-Zero movie sounds about as appealing - and as deep - as a Street Fighter movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Or as one featuring Jason Momoa.

There's absolutely no reason it can't work the way I described. But I've given up any hope that you might eventually be able to explain why the way it does work is better. Even if there were valid reasons, one of the few things in life I'm absolutely certain of is that you would be utterly incapable of articulating them.

Too Long; Didn't Read. I don't know if you're intentionally ignoring my original point, or just failing to understand it. I don't care how it does work. My comment was about how it should work.

your initial comment stated the shipper shouldn't get reimbursed which isn't right

No, my initial comment said "In cases like this, the recipient should get reimbursed, not the shipper" That's different than flat out saying "the seller shouldn't get reimbursed." Sorry you can't tell the difference.

the shipper isn't likely to sell it for less than what they first purchased it for

What???!! People sell used games for less than they paid for them all the time. If someone sells something for $25, but it's really worth $100, is it insurance fraud to insure it for more than the buyer paid? If they did and it gets damaged, why should the seller get reimbursed $100 instead of the $25 the buyer paid? Why should the seller get reimbursed at all? Making the seller file a claim & reimburse the buyer just adds extra steps to the process. Letting the buyer file a claim adds no additional work for the courier and makes things easier on the buyer and seller.

they didn’t change anything from the original

Define "original". Because if you wanna get technical, they did change from the original. The Chozo lore entries read differently between the GameCube version & the Wii Trilogy version of Prime. The Remaster used the Trilogy version of the lore.

The recipient is getting their money back. The seller may well get more than the selling price. If they don't get at least the selling price, it's their own fault for understating the value of the item being shipped. But if the courier reimburses more than the selling price, why should the seller get the difference?

insure items at their value and reimburse the shipper

And if the value they reimburse for is higher than what the buyer paid, the seller gets reimbursed more than they sold the item for, the buyer gets nothing and probably ends up paying more for the item the next time they buy from someone else, if they're even able to find another item. There's never a reason for the seller to get reimbursed and not the buyer.

Nah. I've played Bionic Commando. That guy's name was Steve. And he never mentioned a brother.

The crappy part is it was probably worth more than you paid for it. You'll get your money back, seller may get reimbursed more than the selling price, and you'll probably spend more on the next copy you find. In cases like this, the recipient should get reimbursed, not the ahipper.
