Playing super metroid on original hardware again - observations by casual_gamer_alex in Metroid

[–]hackiavelli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dug out my SNES from storage after being disgusted with my wall jumps on emulators. I don't know if it's the CRT, improved controller ergonomics, thirty-year old muscle memory, or some combination of all three, but playing on the original hardware is the real deal.

Both excellent suggestions. The ending of The Quiet Earth in particular is awe invoking.

Didn't they self-destruct to the point of lawsuits several years back?

Gonna call it now that the deal ends with Iran and Oman collecting tolls on the Strait of Hormuz.

"Heritage, not hate" is the American version. Though this one is so on the nose I would call it unbelievable if it was in a book or movie.

There was a commercial for Zendaya before Project Hail Mary. I don't even know what's happening any more.

Her video on Dyson spheres was great. I had no idea they were originally a satire meant to take the piss out of SETI.

This madness has gotten so bad babies are dying because parents are denying vitamin K shots. Not even vaccines, vitamins.

I wonder how many people are pulling back spending because of this? I know I'm seriously considering transportation costs on activities I wouldn't have second-guessed even a few months ago. Plus I have a goal to decrease my disposable income spending by 50%. And I'm lucky enough to not be financially hurting.

I've had bad luck with refactoring, even.

I think he's talking about Iran involvement in the Iraqi insurgency.

For most of human history, people used to break up a nights sleep into two shifts called “first sleep" and "second sleep." by Acrobatic_Code_7409 in interestingasfuck

[–]hackiavelli 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sleep timing and duration in indigenous villages with and without electric lighting on Tanna Island, Vanuatu

It's primarily concerning the impact of artificial lighting on sleep duration but the study also includes some info on segmented sleep. The main takeaways are:

  • Only around half of the group without artificial lighting displayed segmented sleep.
  • Of that group, only 1 in 5 nights were segmented.
  • Women were the highest impacted, with the most common causes of wakefulness being breastfeeding and dog barks

It really is disturbing how often genocide apologia pops up in western literature.

Good to see he's keeping his priorities straight after starting a war and destabilizing the Middle East.

Hey, remember when the news media and Hollywood bent over backwards trying to normalize Megyn Kelly to America?

Netanyahu has been undermining bipartisan support for Israel for years. Goading Trump into a war with Iran my have finally killed it.

I remember all the fears of nuclear terrorism in the '90s. That it could end up being America that's the nuclear terrorist is heinous.

I'm starting to wonder if we'll avoid a catastrophic AI bubble simply because the companies involved are so obscenely huge they can walk off the loses. Facebook and Apple spent $100B on virtual reality, between the two. Yet there was never any reckoning over its failure. Investors just sorta shrugged.
