  • i feel the same, but it may be nostalgia. i only played through the entire trilogy in like 2018, way after my first playthrough of the first prime. prime 2 has a very different feel, more like a constructed game world than something that fits together naturally. it’s also a lot less colourful and the dark/light thing feels sort of slapped on.

    prime 3 is all over the place. i haven’t played 4 because i don’t want to buy a switch 2.

    i think the evolution of the prime series served to have it fall more in line with the original vision for the character of samus aran, which famously is very different in the english-speaking world due to a mistranslation. the word “bounty hunter” should have been translated as “mercenary”. if that hadn’t happened, metroid prime would probably have been a lot closer to halo.


  • i use digital id with a cryptographic signature. get with the times, grandpa!

    more seriously: i learned cursive not because it was compulsory, but because i have fine motor issues and the teachers couldn’t read my normal handwriting. so they thought cursive would help. unfortunately i’m also left-handed, so all it did was give me cramps, make my hand dirty, and tear up the paper even more. eventually i got an alphasmart.

    i’ve never even been able to make two instances of the same letter consistent, nevermind a whole word. thankfully a signature alone is not a valid identification method.
