So I seem to recall reading in the game text that the morph ball is 1 meter diameter. Does that mean that Samus is 4 meters tall?

The explanation I've heard is consistently better nutrition.

Anglerfish are really weird.wikipedia posted:Some anglerfish, like those of the Ceratiidae, or sea devils, employ an unusual mating method. Because individuals are locally rare, encounters are also very rare. Therefore, finding a mate is problematic. When scientists first started capturing ceratioid anglerfish, they noticed that all of the specimens were female. These individuals were a few centimetres in size and almost all of them had what appeared to be parasites attached to them. It turned out that these "parasites" were highly reduced male ceratioids. This indicates the anglerfish use a polyandrous mating system. This totally reads like something people would make up for the metroid universe.

I think fae was obliquely referencing Trainspotting and didn't feel like explaining to FP.

Cute, but they're so sensitive to stress that every picture you see where one is being held or is in a box it probably died a few days later from the stress of the experience. Please don't pick them up or even go near them if you happen to see them in the Argentina grasslands.

Decimation (the killing of 1 in 10 of the captured enemy forces) was actually considered merciful and very forward thinking. The remaining soldiers were conscripted and then had the same rights to land as the invading soldiers, and being a soldier for Rome actually increased your average lifespan despite all the battles.

Zebulon posted:From what I remember of the stories behind the development of Prime 3 they originally intended a far more open game where Samus legit hunted down bounties on various planets. Basically Nintendo doesn't understand what the gently caress a bounty hunter actually is and think she's just some sort of gopher-merc for the Federation whenever they need more firepower. I figured you were exaggerating or something but I found the article that talks about it. Sakamoto and Japan really didn't understand why people liked metroid at all, did they? IGN posted:For Prime 3, Retro needed a new gimmick and there was a great divide between the studio and Tanabe about what that should be. What they could agree on was Aran's character -- at least, for the most part. "Samus could best be summarized, at least in my mind, as Boba-Fett with a sense of honor. Everybody hears bounty hunter and, of course, Boba-Fett is synonymous with that for good reason: he's a very compelling character," says Walker. "But Samus has a sense of compassion and honor where she's not in it for the money. She does it to protect humanity. And her upbringing and being raised by the Chozo gave her that sense of nobility that I think many characters lack."

Wasn't there a video like this for Ocarina? I checked her channel and couldn't find it, but I seem to remember it was with thread submitted stuff. Did it get DMCAed for some weird reason?

You can actually buy a jellyfish aquarium & jellyfish for reasonable-ish prices for such a niche purchase(between $200-$400 total last I saw for aquarium, some food and 1 to 3 jellies. Price depends on if you get a kit on sale or not).
