It's way more to the point than Metroidvania. For one, the term has nothing to do with 90% of Castlevania games. You have to know that the term was created during a specific time 20+ years ago when SOTN was popular. And it says nothing about what part of Metroid it's about. Is it the aliens, the shooting, the abilities, the exploration, the platforming? Role Playing Game and Roguelike are similarly nonsensical, and FPS is not as intuitive as it seems as first either.

So effectively everyone just memorizes what Metroidvania and other genre terms refer to after a while. It's easy to add Search/Exploration Action in the mix, especially since it's more intuitive than most genres.

I actually had no idea what Metroidvania meant, despite hearing the term countless times, until like last year when I played Hollow Knight. I never played Metroid or Castlevania growing up, and assumed it was just side scrolling games that are hard or something

As with all other cases of trying to control language to replace a natural and accepted term with a new, prescribed one: good luck with that!

Edit: Actually it seems more like this is just a direct translation and probably not meant for English audiences at all? Obviously Metroidvania doesn't exist as a term in Japan in the first place.

Metroidvania is used in Japanese, too

If you don't remember CS1's ending, you should probably get a refresher on it regardless because the beginning of CS2 will be confusing otherwise.

I do remember the ending at least!

Yeah that's fair game. An important objective doesn't magically become yours because you started damaging it first. People are able to see the HP of Rotom and Dreadnaw by moving the minimap to check on them. They were likely waiting for it to get low and then went into snipe the final hit.

Wait how do you move the minimap!? Not being able to was one of my gripes with this game lol

Have you guys spent real money on the game? I spent like 4 bucks plus some gold coins to get the battle pass. Not gonna spend any more though, just rubs me the wrong way.

I haven't, but I always find it weird how people are willing to pay $60 for a regular game but if it's a free game spending any amount of money is unforgivable

Wigglytuff - Dazzling Gleam
Wasn't hitting certain wild Pokemon

Cinderace - Feint
Lowered the duration and movement speed boost

Gengar - Dream Eater
Speed increased

Lucario - Bone Rush
There was a bug that it wasn't hitting surrounding Pokemon on the second hit

Found this on reddit

"Important note, the bug fix on lucario is a significant nerf to power up punch, as the attack stat on charge was applying to both the punch and to the auto following it."

If true, that explains some things.

This is also explained in the Japanese patch notes

I think his first year as a Laker when he actually got injured for a significant period of time was the sign that we'd seen the best of Lebron because he was seemingly indestructible before then. He managed to pull one out last year, but I wonder if the large break allowed him and AD to recover enough for that playoff run.

KD was supposed to be the next guy but he got injured. Kawhi had a shot but the Clippers clippered. Curry was in the mix too but he also got hurt. So there was no one to takeover and Lebron kind of just took advantage of that and the whole bubble situation to get one more, but yeah I think the Lebron era pretty much ended when he missed the playoffs his first season in LA

also I don't think they're going to be very good with Russ

But yeah generally speaking, you're right - being a lecturer doesn't command nearly the same pay or prestige as being a tenured professor who produces research, so it may not be a "dream" for most career academics (though I've never been one of those anyway). A PhD is necessary for the latter, and that's a huge barrier to entry for many people (many also do prefer teaching to research, despite the enormous pay difference).

I had several teachers in community college who left professor positions at prestigious universities because they wanted to focus more on teaching than research. I think it's pretty common
