I agree with this take wholeheartedly. The thing I love most about Metroid is the alien solitude. Phendrana, Sky Temple, and Elysia were whole moods that stuck with me.
I really hope the Fed Trooper interaction is limited, but something tells me there's going to be one in every zone.

I really do wonder what they think happens when a whole mess of people lose their jobs and have no food.
People really should pay attention in history class if they're going to get into politics.

Yeah, achievements often make it easy to see how popular the endgame really is. Okay, 95% of people complete the tutorial. 85% beat the first boss. 50% beat the game. 15% complete the postgame? Yeah that's going to be a tedious postgame.

They've systematically dehumanized and demonized everyone who is different than they are so they no longer view others as deserving of human rights.

I get why the paint is there. Lighting in the room you're playing in can change color on screen.
At the same time, I wish you could toggle them off if you wanted to. Or use a button to highlight them.
I do prefer the paint to like... Skyrim floating "waypoint" markers.

No, that was Captain Antilles that was more like them. He didn't make it very far.

Sure, but most people talking about video games sound like they hate them, too.
People love to complain about the things they like. They spend so much time complaining about things in their hobbies because they like them!

Yup.
It's a language model, not a world model. It knows how to construct sentences and manipulate language. It has absolutely no idea that there is a real world which that language is intended to reflect.
They are letters from inside Plato's cave.

Black Vise and Ivory Tower would be on my potential cut list, but I do see why they're there.
The only cards I think are really missing are Copy Artifact and Shatterstorm. Maybe Tranquility.

I mean on the cover it also says the interview is with "Co-designer/pilot Deepsea Challenger". They were not burying the lede here. Whomever they are protecting, it's not James Cameron.

No, Vista is what happens when you try to be creative and innovate without any direction, and almost none of it works out. Longhorn started with dozens of great ideas and hardly any of them survived development intact.
Windows 8's idea was "what if we made your PC into a shitty smartphone?"
