Yes. I have some sort of pituitary gland growth that they wanted to monitor.

I don't really experience "claustrophobia" from just enclosed spaces alone; there also needs to be a lot of people/overcrowding. Which might not actually be designated the same thing as claustrophobia; I'm not sure.

Can you defeat real bowser with fireballs? And what sprite shows if you do if not a goomba?

Yes you can, and the one in 8-4 doesn't show any other sprite. That's why it's the real Bowser.

The main difference between him and the fakes is that he also chucks a ton of hammers.

Hold your breath. Keep holding it until you think you can't hold it any longer, then continue holding anyway.

No, you can't pass out. Your body won't let that happen. No matter how you might try, your body will eventually make you take a breath. When it does, hiccups should be gone.

It always works for me. No prescription necessary.

Yeah, this is what I do, although I don't really do it to the point of discomfort. I just exhale, inhale deep again, and repeat a few times.

Because that isn't the final boss. Square-Enix has a habit of putting ridiculously easy final bosses as the actual final boss, while the story final boss is the second to last boss. The final boss was Yu Yevon.

Nobody really counts him because he isn't meant to be lost to (since you have unlimited auto-revives at this point, the only way you can "lose" is by inflicting petrification on your own characters) or pose any real gameplay challenge whatsoever. His "fight" is basically a playable cinematic to wrap up the story.

BFA is clearly meant to serve the "final boss" role, the last potential challenge in the game that the player might reasonably lose to -- so even if he isn't technically the last fight, he's still going to be what's remembered.

But yeah, that is something Square Enix does a lot.

masterpug53 posted...
Raven Beak in Metroid Dread is the only standard final boss I can think of that I couldn't beat. I threw myself at him for several hours, became aware that I hadn't succeeded in getting past even the first phase of four, and completely gave up.

To be honest, the first phase I find to be the trickiest because you cannot progress the fight without melee countering, and because of his shielding it's not entirely clear to everyone on how to trigger it or when it even happens. So if it's any consolation, you were stuck on what I'd say is the hardest part of the fight.

Actually, now that I think about it, I do remember at some point reading about the "trick" of switching all the CPUs to human players on the last turn of the game, so that after the game was over you would collect all of the coins/stars the CPUs had gathered.

But this was years after I'd basically finished my time with MP1, so I never put this to use.

TopicMetroid Prime 4 is approaching 7 full years of development since announcement
Philip027
04/22/24 2:59:07 PM
#61
It's very obvious to me that it's being saved for the Switch's successor, which likely happened because of the restarted development, and not wanting to force a long-distanced-from-the-series Retro Studios to have to work on (as) underpowered hardware (which wouldn't surprise me if that was at least part of the reason why the development got restarted in the first place)

I'll definitely still play it, but I'm not super eager/hyped over it, so it doesn't matter to me how long it's been taking. Prime was clearly originally intended to just be a trilogy with the 3rd game having a sense of finality (aside from that one little 100% completion post-credits stinger scene which it wouldn't even surprise me if it ends up not even being a plot point in Prime 4), so frankly Prime 4 just comes off to me as a sort of extra/DLC content overall rather than some long-awaited proper continuation to an unfinished story.

I remember hearing this story that he offended some contestant with a joke and she demanded to the studio that he apologize. Then he said something like "If I have to apologize, I'm leaving the show."

He never apologized and the studio just let it go lol. I forget what the context was but it was funny to see him flex his power at the studio and play chicken with them >_>

I remember that something like this happened with one of the kids tournaments (which is surely why they stopped doing them)

All depends how you feel about LDR, so nobody else can answer that for you. Personally, I'm completely fine with it, and am in a nearly 10-year relationship, 5-year marriage that had most of the pre-marriage time spent as LDR (I lived in Hawaii and they lived in France).

If you decide you're open to it, I think you should try communicating about it when she isn't drunk just to make sure she is aware of and still means what she said. I will say the fact that you already have shared a living space before is a benefit; you already have at least some idea of what it would be like.
