The wall jumps are a little weird, it's the thing where you don't do it the way you think you should, you have to do it the way the game wants you to, but it's really easy once you understand how the game wants you to.

Step 1: Make sure you are doing a rolling jump (a walking/running jump)
Step 2: When you hit the wall, pull back in the other direction for about half a second before jumping, you should see Samuses sprite change during this, this is when you want to hit the jump button again.

Oh I get that it all becomes muscle memory eventually, but I find it extremely unintuitive and wonky compared to the mechanics of say, the Ninja Gaiden or Mega Man X trilogies. Hell, Samus Returns makes it far easier to execute. For me at least. I haven't quite been able to get the hang of it completely in Super.

I was so relieved when I found the screw attack. Because I could get to where I need to be without struggling and souring an otherwise amazing experience.

It make sense for a lone cop to not run in to an active shooter situation. It make them a shit cop, but its a human response. The problem here is making that legal precent.

neither the constitution or state law impose a general duty upon police officers or other governmental officials to protect induvidual persons from harm even when they know the harm will occur

Is an absolutely terrifying and abhorrent thing to have on the books and this judge should be ashamed for his gross incompetence and irresponsible ruling

This is true. I'm just saying that the judge thinking that the police force isn't there to protect the innocent in whatever ways they can, is a dumb statement.

I mean. If cops don't have to protect people then what's the point in paying for them with our taxes.

Seems like wasteful spending.

This. Their job is to hold up the law and protect the populace. Any little kid could tell you that. I guess this judge missed the memo.

Okay, so I played Super Metroid as a kid growing up. I loved the game as a kid, it was just such a unique, fun, expansive game, I've never seen or played anything like it before.

I played through it again about a year ago with the wife watching me. The nostalgia was strong with me but my wife had no prior thoughts or bias towards it. We both came to the same conclusion regardless. That conclusion is this.

Super Metroid is a pinnacle of gaming. Not at all because of the glitches/skips/whatever hardcore gamer stuff is going on in that game because I don't know about that and I didn't do any of that.

What really captivated us was two things
1) The atmosphere
It's well known this game borrows heavily off of Alien, and honestly it really shows, while also making itself unique to it. All the different environments, they all feel so unique, and so different, but also believably all part of the same planet. They all invoke a sense of "where the FUCK am I now?", a little light on tension, but heavy on the excitement to explore and see more. The planet is quaint and beautiful, as well as scary and dangerous at the same time. Games rarely illicit emotion out of me more than "this is fun" but this game captivated us in a way that few can, I felt like I was there, with Samus... no, I felt like I WAS Samus, alone and lost, but pressing forward to save the galaxy, because what else can you really do? The music adds so much to these environments, as do the creatures of the planet... just everything about the visual and audible presentation is top notch, and the game is a classic just for this aspect alone. No other metroid has come close to offering a map nearly as interesting as Super Metroid.

2) I don't even remember my second point anymore, I can't stop thinking about all the locales I got to visit. I really enjoy speed running games and being super action super fast run guy through most games, but Super Metroid I was happy to soak in the atmosphere and take my time to fully enjoy this game.

Really, I love the controls, the map is beautifully designed, the gameplay is excellent. It's at least a 9/10 in every category you could make up. But the atmosphere and presentation of Zebes is just completely mindblowing even 20+ years later.

Excellent post! The only thing I disagree with is the controls. Partly. The wall jumping is weird and annoying. But I was taken in by the atmosphere, music, environments and the otherwise good controls too. I didn't have the benefit of playing it as a kid, because I didn't own an SNES. My friends did.

They would "fix" various sequence breaks and glitches (which would be a shame, as they're a big part of the game for many people, myself included). It's not really avoidable in some cases, as they're part of Super's engine.

As for what I'd want them to change/add:

- Better graphics obviously (my preference would be Fusion style pixel art, but they'd go with something more modern, which could also work)
- Show doors on the map
- Diagonal aiming without L/R, the ability to use missiles / super missiles / power bombs without toggling and whatever other control features the newer games have (maybe allow the old and new ways to please fans of both). Maybe an always run option
- An in-built randomizer and/or speedrun mode
- A little extra content
- Also, get rid of that last save point (or allow you to return)!

Nothing is wrong with the graphics. Super Metroid is as pretty as they come.

Wall Jumping is the only thing that needs fixing. Everything else is perfect.

Naming your child "ab-city" is a smart move, makes sure that they stay fit and healthy. Can't be called "ab-city" and be fat.

In all seriousness though, I just feel bad for the daughter. The parent(s) made a poor decision there. Unique names are whatever, but trying to be "cute" with it just backfired for them hard.

Its not even cute. Its made out of fail, and laziness and pure maliciousness on the parents part.

You can give your child an unusual name without ensuring their torment.

I hope that kid gets a name change and disowns her folks.

In Sweden it is illegal to give children stupid names.

https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-lagar/dokument/svensk-forfattningssamling/lag-20161013-om-personnamn_sfs-2016-1013

28 Som frnamn fr endast frvrvas ett namn som inte
1. kan vcka anstt,
2. kan antas leda till obehag fr den som ska bra namnet, eller
3. av ngon annan anledning r olmpligt som frnamn.

I sure wish they'd adopt that policy in the US.

I feel sorry for the kid because her mom is a douchebag who gave her a stupid non-name. Its one thing if you are given an old fashioned or unusual name. Its another thing entirely to purposely give your kid a shitty non-sensical name.

The airport employee was being shitty too.

Trying to change people's minds about circumcision is a pretty good priority to have.

It seems more like a waste of time. People usually have their minds set. And most with kids have either had it done, or are set on doing it or not.

Well people used to have their minds set on all kindsa barbaric, dumb and horrifying shit. Yet lobotomies are outlawed as a viable mental health practice, mercury is no longer a cure-all, foot binding and castrato are outlawed, and they don't jam hot pokers up your ass to get rid of fistulas.

Circumcision is barbaric and it's frightening how its still legal.

This. If its bad and nonsensical to do it to little girls, they shouldn't do it to little boys. There is no medical reason to do it to either and each excuse is paper thin.

Better cleanliness? Yeah just wash it correctly.

Smegma? Girls have smegma too and in western countries they do not have their inner labias removed. Again, proper hygiene is all that's needed.

Prevention of cancer? Bullshit. Cancer is caused by a number of factors, including genetics. Breasts and testicles aren't preemptively cut off to avoid breast or testicular cancer.

Less chance of stds? Thats what condoms are for.

Risk of infection? Any place on your body can risk getting an infection if not properly taken care of.

But...but...muh religion!
If your religion says that you have to mutilate children, something is seriously wrong with that aspect of your religion. Religion should never take precedence over human rights. Otherwise people would still burn others at the stake, or make human and animal sacrifices with no legal repercussion.

Male and female genital mutilation is a barbaric socio-religious practice that should have never been implemented in the first place and should have been put a stop to forever ago. The fact that its been deeply installed as a medical practice is equally horrid.
