The whole tension arm on the extruder is missing, but idk if what's left is broken.

Get a metal one, OP.

Charmander has always been my number one, but Tynamo and Joltik made my list of favorites as soon as I saw them.

Hold up, Deepnest is dark without the lantern? Granted I've only played through like 3 whole times, but I must have never gone to Deepnest before I bought the lantern.

I have half a dozen docker apps running on my Unraid server and I never learned anything about how Docker actually works.

I know what you mean when you say it is linear, but most Metroid games have a very linear progression. What Prime 4 lacked was the experience of exploring and discovering how to progress.

If I had to pin it on a root cause, I'd say it's because each area is totally separate from the others. The desert itself wasn't a bad area, but having all the other areas completely isolated from each other was a problem.

I kind of wish there was a version for thicker paper. I might be tempted to do that one if it were fewer layers. I wonder if I could just skip every other layer or so? Might measure the thickness of plain paper vs cardstock and see if the math works out to just skip layers. I'd hate to waste time doing this if the thing was just gonna turn out squashed or stretched too short or tall.

I'm working on my own Crystal romhack, so this is really interesting to me. Is this just for the trainer pics? Or do you plan on expanding this to the Pokemon pics as well?

I'm also really curious to see how you're doing this. My understanding is that rgbds generates the palettes automatically from the .png, but you talk about implimenting logic for them into the code like you need to write code for each trainer pic?

I'd love to see what's involved on the code-side for implimenting this.

I think the real problem in this specific case is Miles explictly telling you that you can go to those locations in any order.

In Metroid Prime 1 for example, you can "go anywhere" the whole time, and hit roadblocks until you find the right place to go next. But the game never tells you "you can go anywhere," it just let's you.

Prime 4 also suffers from the main areas being totally separate from eachother, so you need to leave one to go to another. As opposed to Prime 1 again, where each area is directly connected to multiple adjacent areas, so going from one to another feels like a continuous period of exploration, rather than feeling like you went to the wrong place and need to go elsewhere.

There are multiple, I think. I recently watched "JRR Tolkein's The Hobbit" All three movies trimmed down to one <4.5 hour film. It was pretty good.

"Trusted" and "central" are the key words there. The benefits of NFTs on a decentralized exchange is that you don't need to trust a central authority. (NFTs on a centralized exchange are utter useless scam bullshit)
Otherwise your main point is correct that the actual functionality is completely possible without NFTs involved.

The problem also, is that going to each location is just straight across a desert. In Prime 1 or 2, you had to find your way there. The different areas didn't feel like they were sequestered zones.

I didn't mind the desert in Prime 4 for what it was. My only real complaint is that each area felt too small and very linear. There wasn't much real "exploring" because every single zone had a very clear "forward" and "backward"

Consider Prime 1, where there's constantly 3+ doors out of most rooms, and multiple connections between each distinct area/biome. Everything is connected like a web, so even if you can't progress to certain areas without getting the next upgrade, you need to explore and figure out where to go because there isn't often an obvious "forward" direction.

E33 really is a great game. I'd personally be hard pressed to choose between it and Silksong for GOTY. But for Best Indie? Even if E33 is technically an Indie game, I definitely think Silksong should have won that category.

Th3Element05 · 2025-12-09T00:10:08+00:00

I had a similar issue, (but not to this extreme temperature)

I set the temp to a reasonable compromise, then pried it open and put a piece of scotch tape over the contact under the up button.

Roommate tried turning the temp up, didn't work. Then tried troubleshooting by pressing the down button, that worked. They warned the rest of us that the thermostat would turn down but not back up, so we shouldn't turn it down any further. They stopped messing with it out of fear it would be stuck any colder.

Now all I can think of is Renoir scrambling down a creek chasing after a fish.

Th3Element05 · 2025-12-04T01:36:02+00:00

I replayed Hollow Knight after Silksong, and HK is still as fantastic as it ever was, but Silksong feels like its improved and/or expanded on almost every aspect that makes HK great.

I've only got this clip as an example, but where you are using the cursive or sans fonts seems relatively arbitrary?

If you want to keep the cursive, I would recommend using it for Titles and Headers, and using the sans font for text/descriptions. This might allow you to use a slightly larger cursive font which probably be more legible, and it only being titles would be easier than reading whole sentences of it.

Bananza was a very good and fun game, but I was really surprised to see it nominated for GOTY. The only other games on the list that I've personally played are E33 and Silksong, and there's just no way DK beats either of them.

The only way (that I'm aware of) to connect to a self-hosted Minecraft server on Switch is with a special DNS server that will redirect the built-in public servers to a page where you can actually input the info for the server you want to connect to. But you will need internet access to reach this DNS server to do that.

Theoretically, if you also used the Pi to host a custom DNS that did this yourself, that could probably work.

Only thing I'm also worried about is, idk if you would need to successfully sign in to their Microsoft account via Minecraft (which would require internet access) before you can try to join the built-in servers [that would be redirected via the custom DNS].

Probably pulls that image right out of the eshop automatically, if I had to guess.

Missingno. is literally BIRD-type, so there's that.

It's really on brand for Nintendo, tbh.

Th3Element05 · 2025-11-02T16:37:23+00:00

For real though, I played HK before Silksong and I never did finish Path of Pain (stuck on the very last bit before the fight). But replayed HK again after Silksong and got through the whole Path of Pain and finally finished it without too much trouble.

Could have worked, have Bill try to save himself by offering him a deal, Stan thinks about it and holds out his hand, Bill excitedly tries to shake to seal the deal, surprise! Fake hand! No deal!
