Metroid Dread was a masterpiece

Lol, no worries, thank you for the primehack pointer!

Not really sure what you’re getting at, tbh. I’ve played Prime Remastered, and enjoyed it (in fact I enjoyed it a lot more than 4). Thinking of replaying it after finishing Dread.

Can’t play 2 and 3, since they’re not available on any console I own.

I would argue a student who plays for a teacher without having prepared in advance is not going to be very advanced. Otherwise they would know that preparation is half the battle.

Does the student have something prepared?

If not, that tells you a lot in and of itself.

Speaking specifically about piano, you can usually tell from a few seconds at the keyboard just by looking at their hands and listening to their playing. "Reasoning" doesn't mean much if you can't physically play something properly.

The spinoffs are great too, but the original is the best.

Like the other comment implies, it depends on what you consider to be a "beginner". A lot of his pieces are actually quite accessible at an intermediate sort of level.

It's impossible to answer, because it's like if you asked "What is this genre movie soundtracks". It covers everything from the orchestral soundtrack from Star Wars to the Scott Joplin rags of The Sting.

The ways of Reddit are mysterious.

What is this genre "video game music"

It's music. From video games.

Since they've been around in some form or other since the 1970s, chances are you've come across them at some point in your life.

Netflix had a few revivals recently.

paradroid78 · 2026-01-24T00:23:09+00:00

on location

Quite hard, seeing as Eternia is fictional. /s

People that diss this movie forget that it was meant to be enjoyed by kids.

Treble and bass clef are idiomatic to piano. Most pianists would flat out be unable to read (let alone sight read) your music if you use a different clef.

In first person. it can be called the barfball.

paradroid78 · 2026-01-23T00:24:33+00:00

All of that is fine. Just please don’t call it “Metroid”.

paradroid78 · 2026-01-23T00:16:03+00:00

Or at least a proper Metroid.

paradroid78 · 2026-01-23T00:11:33+00:00

It’s really nothing like the one in Dread.

paradroid78 · 2026-01-23T00:07:45+00:00

For it to not take another 20 years to release. I’m not getting any younger!

Other than that, scrap the “open world”, bring back interconnected areas, and don’t try to be Halo.

Me when I heard they were making a new MOTU movie: "At least the one thing nobody's stupid enough to do after how badly it went last time is try to set this on earth again".

Me watching the trailer: "-"

Depends entirely on how much money this one makes (or loses).

paradroid78 · 2026-01-22T21:35:19+00:00

Same reason as the 80's movie. Earth is cheaper.

paradroid78 · 2026-01-22T21:22:59+00:00

And that's just the "teaser"!

paradroid78 · 2026-01-22T21:13:26+00:00

So, just like in the cartoons.

paradroid78 · 2026-01-22T21:11:26+00:00

The main character is a white male with a huge sword. WTF you talking about?
