the existence of metroid prime implies the existence of metroid segunda and metroid tertia

@noiob @Austin_Dern it's the kind of thing that makes us want to never become one
-F

hmm

there's the super mario 64 a button challenge

....how about an ocarina of time b button challenge
-F

i'm seeing people mocking facebook for going down and somehow that took down half the internet with it??
-F

so uh. what on earth happened to the internet while we were away most of today
-F

...what happens if you go into the burning kakariko cutscene in ocarina of time without having a shield? part of that cutscene involves Link holding out his shield ready to block an attack

upside to open source software: anyone can fix bugs and update stuff

downside to open source software: far too many people think that means *you* should be the one to do that. even if you know nothing about programming

-F

thinking about, kinda want to write about the experiences of someone brand new to being modular

going through the lead up to becoming modular, trying out taking themself apart, and then getting used to life in a place where you can swap out body parts with ease
-F

hmmm

friends
-F

ah that feeling when you're worried people hate you because you haven't seen them in a while and then you realize oh yeah we forgot our evening medicine, should go take that
-F

this is not prompted by anything other than just thinking about problems with spoiler stuff
-F

meanwhile you get the Tales series where the opening cutscene will have Evil Character X sitting and laughing with Protagonist Y, completely spoiling the surprise that Evil Character X is actually not evil and comes around to your side or whatever

Namco and Falcom both seem kinda bad about this sometimes

something we have never seen another game do:

Wild ARMS 2 had two different opening movies, one on each disc. Wild Arms 3 took that idea and went interesting places with it: the opening movie isn't played until *after* you load a file, and the game has about five different ones that play depending on how far through the game the file you load is

that way, the opening movie never spoils anything too far into the game
