@Indigo That game almost killed Retro, especially after laying off 3/4 of their employees and cancelled 3 other games they were working on. Also, during development the CEO of Retro Studios got caught hosting a porn site which I find absolutely hilarious.
@Indigo I still haven't played it. I'm pretty sure it's good but I feel like part of the charm of Metroid was that it brought non-linearity to a perspective that is normally for linear games which is why I get that a lot of people were uneasy about the change.

Just finished Metroid Prime 1 for the first time (Wii version).
I first played this game on the Gamecube when I was about 13. I could never get past the Omega Pirate.
Good game. I think it's admirable that despite the change to a first person shooter presentation it's still very unmistakably a Metroid game.
Finishing a game you couldn't finish as a kid is a very uniquely fulfilling experience, I don't have that many left at this point, so it's becoming an increasingly rare one for me...

It seems like the universe is trying to prevent me from making a decent New York-style pizza.

This week we visited Le Redoutable (former nuclear submarine), and inside was this very cute computer-looking thing, with pdp11-like switches.
Thing is, trying to ddg it didn't yield anything, the manufacturer itself (Sintra ?) doesn't even have a wikipedia page, let alone for this specific model.
Does this ring any bells with anyone here? Especially with French retrocomputing nerd?

@ArdainianRight I think cereal box prizes were in higher quality. You even had cereal boxes with full PC games.
@ArdainianRight Happy Meal toys were never good.

While Peter Thiel and Eric Schmidt fund opposing sides of the U.S. election, they are both invested in a venture capital firm with deep ties to U.S. intelligence and military.

@TylerAbeoJordan@liberdon.com I have a fluoride filter water jug that I only drink out of. I'm also considering getting a fluoride filter water bottle as well.

Earlier this week, the WEF recently released an ominous article, warning that we must prepare for “an era of shock events” in the near future.

@gabriel How XML is unforgiving is one of the few non-terrible things about such encoding.
Quirks mode in HTML is a disaster as web developers get away with throwing literal garbage input at the HTML renderer and getting something displayed - at the cost of making it a 10,000 man year effort to write a HTML renderer that works on most websites.

@PurpCat Poast would just bully him back to Twitter unless he says the gamer word.
