Prime 4 maps were also "maze-like" according to the marketing team, I ain't falling for this again. metroid.nintendo.com

At long last, we have created a way for you to take away Nikki's free will, from the classic horror movie "don't take away Nikki's free will"

@actualnames.bsky.social you could say he stirred up the brand

Maybe a regular publisher would, but Nintendo already sunk quite a bit of investment into Retro and I don't see them letting it all go to waste. At least one more is happening for sure.

Every movie, song, and book that you love was made without the technology that people who don’t make art are now insisting is necessary for making art.

Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

Reminder if you are not genderqueer do not say I'd buy that for a dollar!

Be made by people that like Metroid for what it is, rather than trying to turn it into an E rated Halo with bad gunplay and movement.

it was smart of jacob geller to only post about what he did to his 50k followers on here instead of to his 1.5 million youtube subs or on his patreon. that way fewer people know about it and he limits the financial hit

"Space Ninjas want to turn me into soup? Like shell that's happening! COWABUNGA!" 😆 #MetroidRavenous #TMNT

you just know that posting "i'm just trying to start a polite conversation about who deserves human rights" will not be marked 'toxic,' but anyone responding 'hey fuck off with that' will earn +5 toxic points

Nintendo made a billion trailers for Prime 4, and yet the sinlge one they made for Ravenous already got more views than any of them (and Dread's!) in just three days. Maybe if you just make a cool ass game, and then make a cool ass trailer, people will be interested in it, just a thought...

Aggressive Luigi can still happen if people want it bad enough

Zoomers would rather accept a YouTube sponsorship from BetterHelp than go to therapy

Tactical Princess Peach can still happen if people want it bad enough

So we know AI helped a negligible number of students. But how many did it harm? I've crunched the raw data provided by the lead researcher, and what I've found is that ~9,500 students using AI studied less than even the *least* studious, non-AI using student. This should shock the conscience.

Yummy

Samus has new legs and hip articulations, giving her the ability to... cross her legs. The licensed Figma does it by dislodging the hip a bit, this one remains in its socket but it bends as much as possible.

I just want to share the funniest possible update to this, which is: a full two years later Saber finally revoked my Steam key for this game today

A certain AAA studio told employees that their internal gen AI was trained only on local data, but whenever said employees tried to generate an image of a woman holding a gun, it generated Lara Croft. The studio was not Crystal Dynamics, and had never worked on the Tomb Raider IP in any capacity.

Kotaku just put out an article about how it was the 40th anniversary of Metroid (and someone made a neat little demake of Prime), and I was reminded how the most hyped game at every Nintendo Direct for a decade, Metroid Prime 4, did actually come out and everyone promptly forgot about it

Major Bitch United States, Census, 1870

"Hold still..." Samus made the correct choice in the end. Happy 40th anniversary to Metroid! #Metroid #Nintendo #3Dprinting

Prime 1 cares about making you feel lost, cares about you finding dead ends and turning back, crisscrossing thru the same room 5 times in 30 mins, about moments of silence or ambience and rooms that are just a weird space on this alien planet

Oh, we're back to LinkedIn diving for breadcrumbs huh? I'd be down for more Prime 4, but it'll depend on what it's being offered and the price. youtu.be/mwfXurrKnGw

Samus has new legs! Originally wasn't going to change the articulations, it was just a cosmetic overhaul... But I couldn't pass the chance to go over these, maybe I'll be able to get her to do the superhero landing pose 🤞

An entire essay derailed because OP couldn't type "Prime" in the title. Haven't played the former, but it's not hard at all to be a better metroidvania/metroid-like than Beyond

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

"how were people writing 10 page papers before AI???" we were smarter than you. you could've been smart, too. but you sold your brain for nothing

Very happy with how the arm and wrist came out, pretty good range of motions and can hold poses (like the previously posted photo)

Sylux POV at the start of Metroid Prime 5 #3Dprinting #Metroid

This is now the FIFTH major round of layoffs at Xbox since the company spent almost $70B on Activision Blizzard in 2023. Another 3,200 livelihoods on the chopping block. Another deafening sucker punch for everybody at the company. Another stream of tone deaf excuses. Where is the accountability?

dick's nice and all but clean your room you nasty bitch!

Slowly going through the process of remaking the pieces of my 1:2 Samus (Metroid Prime 2/3) figure. Happy as I am with the first version, the GameCube-era triangles look jarring at this scale, so she is becoming a "Ship of Theseus" kind of project as I replace each part with a new bespoke one.

I know they are very different game types, but I suspect once Metroid 6 comes out, they won't be able to sell this even for $5.

Bunkers are fucking disgusting and won't exist under Carlism

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

one anecdote: I was searching for a link to one of my old papers on Google, and the automated Gemini summary attributed all of my lab's work to my husband

Why does every Nintendo Direct sound like this?
