If you're playing an open world RPG, which one of these would you prefer happens once you beat the game?
A) You're able to go back to before the ending and continue playing in the state the game world was in before finishing the game.
B) You're able to carry over your party level when you start a New Game.
In both scenarios, you get some extra gear for beating the game.
Would love to hear thoughts on this!

I read The Black Cloud by Fred Hoyle (1957)
A fast and fun sci-fi mystery about a fuckin' cloud from fuckin' outer space. Excellent pacing, not too long. A page turner. Nothing too crazy, but in the context of 1957 it seems very modern.
Fun fact the author was a steady state theorist and disses big bang theory in the book.

Telegram Founder Pavel Durov Arrested in France, Reportedly For Refusing to Censor Content

@Indigo I've heard that the biggest problem was making Samus into an emotional cry-baby with PTSD. The gameplay was extremely linear and used the Wiimote on it's side for a 3D game.
@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...

A new large-scale study from renowned scientists at the prestigious University of Oxford has just confirmed that myocarditis and pericarditis only appear in children and adolescents after Covid vaccination and not after infection from the virus.

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?
