Cool but not exactly world news

What do you mean "October of 1998"? This thing came out in 2008.

He didn't, but the vibes were there 😅

I like the premise of the episode, but it's just... such Marvel writing, especially the whole car stuff with Kirk. I pretty much expected him or La'an to go "he's right behind me, isn't he?" at some point in the episode

I'm... not gonna lie, I get the Federation's argument. Genetic engineering is a dangerous thing to start doing to sapient species, and it can lead to a resurgence of eugenics and other stuff like that.

The only real issue with their stance is that they discriminate against people who've been genetically augmented, instead of simply trying to prevent stuff from happening in the first place.

I don't really care about Gargron and the other growth-focused admins, I literally use an instance that hides stuff from mastodon.social lol

That's why every instance worth its salt will defederate from day one

I expect to see zero posts from Facebook on my feed

They can already gather what's posted publicly 🤷‍♀️

others will either have to follow, or risk dropping out

Honestly, they should. Drop out of the spec if Facebook gains control over it, I mean. Fuck em, I don't care if I can't federate with Instagram, in fact I prefer it that way.

 

Since this place is fairly small and there's no game discussion or Metroid communities I thought I'd post a mini-rant regarding Metroid Prime 2's lack of diegetic UI compared to the first Prime.

I just finished playing Metroid Prime Remastered on the Steam Deck (hooray for Yuzu), and then went on to play MP2 on PrimeHack.

I was kinda surprised by how in MP2 there's no more helmet-UI for anything other than the HUD. Both the pause menu and the map screen have been replaced with just random floating windows that background-blur the game underneath, including the helmet parts of the HUD. In 1 they were basically like, the menu and map screens of Samus' power suit, they were, with basically the exception of the settings menu (although the helmet itself probably did have some settings in-universe), actually there for Samus.

In 2 they're just, video game menus that appear on top of the video game. Metroid Prime is one of if not the most immersive games I've ever played, and I'm just sad to see this not be a thing in the sequel. Haven't played 3 yet though, and nobody knows what 4's gonna be like, but here's hoping it's gonna go back to diegetic UIs 😅
