Their hardware is top notch. My M2 MacBook Pro is nuts at handling Blender etc. Their software guy has just gone over to Meta so people are more hopeful of they end being sorted out.

But right now it’s Tim Apple’s behaviour that is pissing me off.

Just be lucky you’re avoiding the monstrosity that is iOS 26.

The marketing didn’t really help either. So much negativity in the preview releases with Miles etc.

Nice to see you matey! It’s not too bad in here.

Probably saw “investigate” and got the wrong idea. Personally, I think it’s funny. 🤣

Actually would love to make that a question for you guys on the podcast. As veterans, do you think 4 works as a good introduction to the series when considering what makes up a good Metroid game? As a relative newcomer to the series, it did make me want to dip my toe in more instalments.

Might be naive but I still think Prime 4 acts as an excellent introduction to a Metroidvania as it introduces elements like backtracking and Samus’ arsenal. The problem is that it left veterans wanting, so they missed giving it the right balance.

For purely selfish reasons, I’m glad they did as the Switch 2 here in Japan is still only available through a lottery system. One is one it’s way this month (present for the kids, honest… 😀). The dual release allowed me to play the game on release, which was nice. Only downside is the load times.

I’m late but I also discovered your Prime music YouTube videos. Great stuff. I follow the Commodore 64’s SID chip scene a lot (very advanced for its time) so I loved your deep dives.

I’m very new to the Metroid universe (only finished Metroid Prime Remastered the day before 4 was released) so I’m not quite as invested as some of the veterans.

But it’s the lore and stories that attracted me in to the series. Also as a Doctor Who fan I’ve see a fair share of dodgy conclusions. 😀
