social media turning everything into a pump and dump ruined hobbies. In the late 90s Pokemon cards were sometimes hard to get because they were buying them for kids, now its fucking 40 somethings lol. Society is so fucking sick.
This isn't true. Some hobbies are being ruined by enshittification, AI, or the death of brick and mortar stores instead.

Decade 1: Metroid (NES)
Decade 2: Super Metroid, Symphony of the Night, maybe a few other forgotten titles
Decade 3: Metroid Prime, GBA Castlevanias, maybe Cave Story as a prelude of things to come
Decade 4: holy crap, indie devs
Decade 5: Silksong waiting room
Basically how I'd do it too. Something like:

80s: Adventure, Metroid, and other proto-Metroidvanias
90s: Super Metroid and SotN - formations of a subgenre (feat. Metroid 64 and The Divide)
00s: iterating on a concept - Cave Story, Metroid Prime, and IGAvanias
2009-2016: Shadow Complex, Aquaria, and the indie revival
2017-present: Hollow Knight, the consequences of Dark Souls, and the indie boom

The restoration would include the exterior and interior of the wonder, as well as any other items or decor that inhabit the wonder (if applicable). For example, any books that were stored in the Library of Alexandria would be replenished. It would not bring back any forms of life such as plants, animals or humans.

The song has basically all of the hallmarks I named and they're all immediately obvious, at least to me:

Vocals are 'breathy' and sound processed in a way that's not normal.
Immediately weird melodic choices in an extremely cliche genre of music.
Lyrics couldn't be more AI. Awkward and forced to fit the meter and they're just not very good (sorry)
AI art in the thumbnail
Context: Has the sound of a slickly produced music track that someone would have put a lot of work into, but it has less than 1000 views and you don't even really know who wrote it. Very odd (except it's not odd because it's extremely common for AI music)

It pretty much immediately slapped me in the face. This is textbook AI music.
With you pointing it out it's obvious, but I've gotta admit if I was hearing this in a club with lots of competing noise and the usual bad acoustics, I'm not sure I'd be able to tell. Unfortunate!

It's still a really, really bad look for the governor of the bluest state in the union. Citing the need for additional research as a reason to veto the gender education bill is particularly worrisome -- if you're trans you know exactly what that means when someone says that. It means they don't trust any scientific consensus that is remotely truthful and are waiting for a study that spreads lies about trans people instead.

Honestly, and I say this as a fan, coming from a place of love, I think it would do her (mental and physical wellbeing), her public image, and her music some good for her to just kind of disappear for a bit and wait a few more years before she releases anything like she did between 1989 and Reputation. I'm absolutely certain that a lot of the negative reception towards this album is coming from a place of Swift fatigue, and I wouldn't be surprised if she's getting tired too. Stay out of the limelight as much as the most famous person on planet earth possibly can, enjoy life with Travis and come back in 2028 with something new and different.
And also stay off social media, because several songs on the album are clearly just her being mad about Twitter drama

Working on the final boss (I think?) and I swear 90% of the times I get hit are from dashing away from the boss and then just getting contact damage when she pops up on the other side of me randomly. Definitely one of the more annoying mechanics ever.
More is definitely less when it comes to movement for that boss.

Well the Nyleth fight is actually terrible, but at least you can kind of bypass it by just sitting in a corner with Architect's Crest and tool spamming. Don't think I even landed a single nail hit in phase 2. Anyway hopefully I can return to having fun now.

Seth fight was solid, at least.
Aww, I liked the Nyleth fight a bunch and I did not use the Architect's Crest or tool spam. Definitely preferred it to Seth.

Shellwood, look for a room with a "house" you can enter and an NPC inside, then do her quest line. It's multiple parts and you might have done the first part already.

2. I also have seen people have talked about getting imprisoned in The Slab. I assume that's not gonna happen to me at this point, but curious what exactly happens. I can guess that it requires you to get captured by the bugs with the cages but that's all I know.
That's correct and it's a short stealth-ish sequence without your equipment. The Metroid Zero Mission comparisons are apt but it's a bit less involved than that game's similar sequence.

One of my biggest problems with this game is how the float works and yeah this makes it even worse.

Though if you go too far the other direction you get Lone Fungus, which has like 5 different aerial movement abilities with dedicated buttons and expects you to use all of them for its platforming challenges.

Hm, thinking it over more, potentially I found the nailsmith but not any pale ore? I just know that after getting the bad/default ending I looked some stuff up and the damage boost from getting a few nail upgrades felt absurd lol. I also barely used spells. And I skipped City of Tears as long as possible so I didn't get the dream nail until after doing practically everything possible without it. My original playthrough was charmed in many ways

I did use the Quick Slash charm so that obviously helped my DPS a little but Watcher Knights were still a huge wall without being able to focus fire them down quickly.
