  • If we want to get conservatives on board with environmental protections, we should just start a conspiracy that the perceived rise in trans people, gays, and autistics is due to plastic ester groups in the environment. Then tell them that these groups are represented in the media so much now because the petrolium companies don’t want us to see it as a problem when the science breaks.

    Brb, gotta go convince some trumpers single use plastic is making their kids gay.




  • I’ve played most of the metroid games, and i know theres a ton of nostalgia for super metroid, but to this day nothing has matched the feeling of exploration and awe from Metroid Prime. Every place in the game was so radically different, and the ability to scan and learn about the environment was so unique, and exactly what i didn’t know i needed. Learning the lore and finding out what happened to the planet only by analyzing everything made the world feel like it had died, and it’s death was a tragedy. All the enemies you encounter are just local animals that don’t know better, or had been corrupted by pollution. That is, until about halfway through the game when you meet actually hostile, malicious intelligence, and the combat steps up exponentially.

    It’s fantastic. I still remember being amazed at the fogging and raindrops showing up on the visor the first time you step off your ship on Talon IV. I had never seen graphocs so good, and such attention to detail, and the game was already 4 years old.

    The only game i’ve ever played that felt similar was subnautica, and while it had the wonder, it lacked the melancholy and insane combat.

    Prime is the best in the series, hands down.

    They’ve been secretly doing this for years. I switched out after I realized the weird roads they were having me take weren’t to avoid traffic, but because every corner I turned at had a 7-11 on it. The roads in my area are set up like a grid, so there’s many ways to get everywhere. I’m thinking like 3-4 years ago I noticed the change. I would check with my friend’s phones, and notice Google would give them different directions than mine. Last weekend, a friend was giving me directions to a spot in a neighboring town, and it avoided the freeway to have me drive through the business district of both my town and the destination. I work in the town I was heading to, I know how long it takes to get there. It told us to go literally the worst way possible.
