Half a loaf of Metroid Dread. (No spoilers, except for maybe Fusion.) 

I'm actually enjoying this game, but there are so damn many buttons in active use (including the fucking click-your-analog-stick crap) that I frequently fumble and fire one shooty thingy when I really needed the other shooty thingy and then next thing I know I'm watching the "Samus' armor shatters to reveal that she doesn't look any different from before the accident and the Metroid DNA and also she's dead now" cutscene again. Or the "you missed the frame-perfect timing two times in a row so Samus is dead now" cutscene. Those are the best.

Speaking of cutscenes, I'm kinda ticked. I took a shuttle from one zone to a new area and thought, "These are pretty slow loads and I'll just show up in an empty shuttle station so I'll go grab something from the kitchen real quick." Then I came back halfway through an obviously important cutscene with no way to see it again other than reloading a save and redoing some exploration. Ugh. What year is this, again?

Also, this far into the series and I still don't know why Metroid can't crawl.

I want to live in a world of extreme body polymorphism. I want a world where someone can be a human, or furry, or elvan fae, four legged wolf, giant dragon, a collective of foxes, small box robot on wheels, hive of nanobots, copyright infringement, abstract geometry...

I want a world where any conceivable thing can be considered as a form, to have "personhood", and efforts are made to allow all those types of being to exist relatively in the same culture, to the best of our efforts.

wasted an evening figuring out why trees were rendering too big in this game; turns out they were using log scaling

The only reason to be using Netflix today is to cancel your account. Watching anything on it is crossing a picket line.

The best things you can say about a computer are "it has not broken down today" and "it has not broken anything else today".

There's only one way to enjoy Metroid Dread. (No spoilers!) 

More accurately, there's a whole lot of one-ways to enjoy Metroid Dread. As in, the level designers really, really loved littering the map with numerous one-way loops and all sorts of different ways to close off multiple paths. It's like they heard my complaining about Bloodstained's super-aggravating one-ways, and decided the better way would be to make a whole raft of moderately aggravating ones.

Still playing, but doing an awful lot of eye-rolling... and not just at "Adam" talking down to Samus. Don't spoil me, but I hope that asshole gets demoted from commanding officer to self-checkout voice. Yeah, Adam, I have my club card.

@porsupah Oddly, the only reason I even knew of it (that I recall) was Netflix's recommendations – one of the rare times they got it right!

so...i actually finished a writing project. that's rare for me. i was worried that i wouldn't have the opportunity to start this one, much less finish it.

if you like stories set in the Tron universe, stories about love, loss, and the vagaries of human existence, or stories where cool smart ladies drink enough coffee to kill a horse, you might like this one.
