As others have said, there isn’t much story for most of the game outside of subtle, environmental story that can only be inferred. The biggest story beats happen at the very beginning and very end of the game.

Those callbacks that are annoying rehashes for you are intended to be nostalgic for players of the first game. Keep in mind that there was an 8 year gap between console metroid games.

If you aren’t having fun playing the game, then it’s failing at its primary goal. Feel free to skip the rest of the game, but please be sure to at least watch an online video of the ending, before, during, and after the final boss. The opening of Fusion and other future games in the series reference that ending, and it’s absolutely an iconic piece of gaming history.

Edit: I couldn’t find any examples on PeerTube, but this video of the ending from YouTube is fantastic (should you choose to skip the game).

Pfft, those are still maintained (Haiku and ArcaOS respectively) and so corporate man.

TempleOS all the way baby. Nothing is more powerful the the almighty HolyC.

Holy shit I lost it after Material UwU. The system requirements and FAQ (including a famous Torvalds quote) were excellent highlights as well.

One I haven’t seen mentioned, and likely isn’t very famous anymore is (212) 736-5000.

Along their back or between my legs. Something like this:

"Hey, this is Presh Talwalkar.

Discussion of a brief history of this viral math problem, followed by explanations of common incorrect answers. Ultimately followed by brief discussion on the order of operations, concluding in a final example that equals 11

And that’s the answer. Thank you so much for making us one of the best communities on YouTube, where we solve the world’s problems, one video at a time."

As far as I can tell, no one has accused you of promoting Windows over Linux, but please feel free to correct me if I missed something.

I think the flak that you have been receiving is based on your perceived attitude, whether or not that perception is accurate. Many, perhaps most people in this thread, myself included, think that 10%+ FPS improvements can be accurately described as “massive.” You can absolutely disagree in a reasonable and good faith manner.

My understanding and perception of your responses is that you not only disagree that the outlined improvements can possibly be described as “massive,” but also that anyone who claims otherwise is a blind Linux shill, doesn’t understand the definition of the word “massive,” and is suffering from mob mentality.

Countering the argument, and not the messenger (e.g Buddy get over yourself. Geez) is a much more effective way to express your point.

I was referring to this specific edit to your initial comment:

Edit: geez this single comment brought more people out of the woodwork to respond to me than anything else I have commented on lemmy

I’m not even here arguing which one is better like come on now

Massively is the wrong word to use it’s that simple

While I personally think that an average of over %10 FPS improvement in itself qualifies as massive in the current landscape, reasonable minds can absolutely disagree of course. The inclusion of price is just another layer of advantage, only bolstering the “massive” overall improvement.

I have been having a nice evening so far, thank you, and I hope you’ve been having the same.

From what I can tell, at least in this specific instance, aubertlone has only received downvotes for comments they made that were directly attacking or insulting those with differing opinions from themselves. I believe their initial comment before the edit did add positively to the discussion.

I can’t speak to the second part of your comment, but I’m sorry to hear that you received that response to your opinions.

It’s absolutely your right, and fine to disagree with the usage of the word “massive” in this context. It’s not OK to insult people who disagree with you however.

It’s OK for people to have differing opinions, and your initial comment was a good discussion starter. The edit complaining about it causing said discussion, saying “it’s that simple,” the subsequent post stating that you believed your opinion on the matter was the absolute truth based on the dictionary definition of the word “massive,” and that any disagreement was insane in your opinion, is where I take umbrage. I hope you can see where I’m coming from.

I’m sorry that your comment has ultimately driven such a negative response, and I hope you are able to have a good day regardless.

I think it’s all a matter of perspective.

In absolute terms, these differences aren’t very significant (with maybe the exception of the 2 hours to 7 hours battery life improvement in that one specific game). But in relative terms, especially when considering that these games are not native to Linux, that these degrees of improvement typically only happen after a hardware upgrade, and that these improvements are available on the same device as the Windows version, but for $130 USD cheaper, it all adds up to something significant. In my opinion, the word “massive” is appropriate.

I’m sorry to hear that Linux has been the least compatible for your uses. It’s certainly not for everyone, but you at least have a plethora of alternative options at your disposal. I don’t understand why you’re making such a big deal about the manner in which other people are describing these improvements when clearly none of this applies to you.

That’s still an average of over 10% FPS gains overall. Similar improvement to a new GPU generation, but on the same hardware. Sounds pretty massive to me.
