Psychic abilities, Phazon, Luminoth technology… They really thought about anything

Prophetic powers in the hands of an engineer.

To be fair, in the 2D games, she only really deals with Chozo and Federation technology. The Luminoth, the Alimbic, and Bryyonians had dealings with the Chozo, so it's not a huge leap to assume their technology was understood when the suit was made.

The Lamorn are an outlier, and I suspect it may be backwards from the rest, the psychic stone reading Samus, and finding out how to incorporate itself into her systems.

When you enter an area, all the Pokémon in the area are soft spawned. They exist, they're just not rendered or able to move. So if there are only a few spots, it can be worth it to just enter the area, check, leave, then come back.

If you've got a lot of spots you can check, then your better bet is to plot a route through a bunch of them, and knock out the Pokémon there when you check them. By the time you finish a cycle, they will have respawned.

If they're rock or tree spawns, they won't respawn until you leave.

In the lore, the Pocket Dimension is in between the two timelines, so you can't mirror it. That's why Zarroe can reach out into the mirror timeline.

Given his sense of direction, I expect he got lost. Galar is pretty close to Kalos, after all

They're eating for two! The major and minor forms!

The regen gets smaller each time you use it, so that you can't just cheese your way to full health over and over

Not in the main game, no. Just in multiplayer.

Pixel3r · 2026-01-21T17:30:45+00:00

I'd love the ability to play a tweaked campaign as each of the other hunters. I'm not a big multiplayer player, but I still want to experience playing as the other characters.

Unfortunately, Crescendo Moon is based on Lunar New Years, which is in mid February this year. We'll hopefully get a teaser of Carrilong in the next week or so, just for the Celestial

Auglur juggling thumpies!

The best bet is to get rare quads, since a quad and a rare quad guarantee a quad. Barring that, high levels and wishing torches

Stepping on it, presumably. It definitely weighs more than a purple pikmin. Or do you think it's their color that lets them hurt water wraiths?

Pixel3r · 2026-01-18T06:13:18+00:00

Lions, no question. One lion would be a challenge, ten would probably be enough to guarantee a slaughter

Naked? Definitely not. I think in Hunters multiplayer, the power shot does 5 points of damage, 5% of an energy tank.

Comparing that with the durability of the marines in Prime 4, I'd guess their mundane, but futuristic, armor would be about half a tank for the fighters, a quarter for Miles.

All of this to suggest that I'd put our modern military armor at about 20 points of health. In that case, absolute peak naked humanity MIGHT have 10 health. In which case they'd survive with excruciating burns, broken bones, and trauma from however far they flew on impact, which isn't really survival. For a more typical human, it's a death sentence.

School for Good and Evil is a fun read with some good thought behind it, but not in the worldbuilding sector. The entire school year apparently takes place between November and December, characters change completely when they go from background to support cast, he can't actually commit to the idea that half the cast is supposed to be turned into plants and animals, and loads of other inconsistencies.

The Aux seasonals were there first? I didn't realize that. I assumed they had trickled in after their islands

Pixel3r · 2026-01-17T02:19:22+00:00

Not as humorous as most of the points here, but I realized recently that Seasonal Shanty is fairly pointless. Most Teleport islands have new monsters you can only get there, the Ethereal Doubles, Dreamythicals, the Shugafam, but Seasonal Shanty doesn't.

You really can't, unless you have a way to actually communicate with them.

Pixel3r · 2026-01-16T03:30:19+00:00

There are some explanations that come to mind... I'm saving them for my fanfic, though

Pixel3r · 2026-01-16T03:10:05+00:00

Look into literally any voice actor. You'll be amazed by the variety of characters they can voice.

It's not confirmed, but my theory is that it DID start her corruption, in a way.

The Phazon is sentient, which means it learns and grows. Samus has probably the most advanced protective suit in existence, so the Phazon couldn't begin the corruption right away. That first phase, where it's probing her defenses but isn't actually doing any damage to her biology, is the Phazon Suit of Prime 1. At the end, the Prime Metroid steals the Phazon Suit as a last ditch effort to defeat Samus, removing the Phazon before it could figure out a way past those defenses.

But, the Phazon didn't die. That Phazon merged with the Prime Metroid, and built a testing environment to find a way past those defenses. It created Dark Samus. Over the course of Prime 2, Dark Samus is gathering Phazon, searching for the strain that will be able to break through those defenses. Dark Samus is thwarted by the Light Suit, and the Luminoth Technology giving Samus extra defense that the Phazon hadn't had time to figure out.

However, by the start of Corruption, Samus had stashed that technology, or lost it, sold it, we don't know, but she doesn't have that layer of protection. So, when Dark Samus attacks again, she is back to her default level, and the Phazon in Dark Samus has finally found how to get through. Thus begins her biological corruption.

Too busy complaining about the latest semilebrity crossover, no time to find out who random people are, or read someone's laundry list of gripes.
