Dude I’m so excited for you right now. It was such an amazing day when I found all of this the first time.

First of all MP1/2 and Dread have a multi world randomizer called Metroid Prime Randomizer. There’s a discord, it’s a cool community.

But more importantly there’s something called Archipelago.gg, which is a multi world randomizer across MANY games. The few dozen on their site and maybe 120 other ones, of course including MP1 (and 2 is in alpha I think). My friends and I do a big one a few times a year and some smaller ones throughout. I really like it. It’s so funny and confusing to think “my grappling beam is stuck in Pokemon but he needs surf which is past some Stardew checks but she doesn’t have Summer yet which I think is in hollow Knight …”

The list of non website games is on the discord server and there’s MANY more. Highly recommend looking there

Totally agree. Looks pretty awesome actually. Give me a Mario Golf next!

I’m a massive MP fan. I play randomizers of 1 and 2 all the time still and loved the remake of MP1.

I kind of expected a masterpiece of a game since it’s been SO long. Silksong style (which I do believe is a masterpiece for the genre), where no news and no timeline pressure means they can get it right.

I worry about MP4. I really want to love this. I want this to be the best Prime game. The empty open world, the bike, the graphics on the bike. I do worry a bit.

I just “finished” silksong. I love your points and really agree with them. I think I’m gonna go back in and try to do some of the stuff I noped out on before. Plenty of challenge in this game, that’s for sure.

I can’t believe how out of order I did some stuff. I didn’t like super intentionally do a skip or something, I just happened upon bosses and areas and kinda went through them. Later to realize I had missed whole sections that were way below my skill level

Silksong news, probably??

Oh wait, autopilot.

Oh I’m sure there’s some super talented people there. They’re just not working very hard to get their stuff done because it’s easy.

Now we’re testing if they’re willing to do the same but also sit in an office probably an hour away, for fun.

It’s just a layoff workout laying people off, except you keep your worst workers for sure

Let me start by saying I have a few thousand hours in Hollow Knight and I do for the most part enjoy the Git Gud type of games.

There are entire genres of games that I can’t enjoy because they’re too open/chill and if they had a hard mode I would probably really like them. This is the same problem the other way.

Maybe wait and some modders might make the QoL parts you want available, maybe never play it, maybe watch a streamer do it. But not every game has to be fun for everyone.

I was a process engineer in an aluminum plant. While I didn’t directly work in remelt, this is correct as I understand it.

20:1 is the net energy usage for new aluminum smelting:recycling.

Recycle your metals please.

I noticed, and did a lot of refreshing to eventually get it (over 2 hours after launch) but mostly it’s just funny and so so cool that a few Australian guys can make a game and it takes down every store. Straight badass.

Same, right back to it but now there’s a ghost item in my cart. Maybe this is worse than having it

I got it into my cart!

I can’t open my cart, but it’s in there

Still, repairability is right up there with privacy for me, so I’m quite happy with the hardware right now

Man that was funny. Dan is the best

At night?

We use less power at night. We generate a LOT less power at night. Because the sun is off for the most part.

Your mentality is old school. We have often more need at night than during the day for non renewable electricity right now

This is a very old school and outdated mentality.

In my part of the EU this year, we had very very many days of negative sale prices and having to curtail wind parks because just solar and wind were making up more than demand during the day. Afaik we only curtailed at night one time.

TIL this exists. Super cool.

Hvad koster det?

Bikes! I live in Copenhagen and they’re everywhere of course. I love seeing people at a big train station taking pics of cycle parking being overfull

A good bit harder since I’m not a native Dane. In some more years when I’m a full fledged citizen I can start in earnest, but I’ll ask now at least
