Half? How much music do you have?

Honestly, just go the full 9 lives and become a cat.

Maybe you have some kind of genetic drug resistance. My mom has an extremely high resistance to anesthetics (it's been a major problem when docs don't believe her) and apparently most people in my family do too.

Actual models vary pretty wildly by game (out of suit for Other M has her quite short compared to other people), but I believe the only official height and weight comes from the Super Metroid player's guide (and more vaguely in the Metroid 2 manual), which says she's 6'3" (190 cm) and weighs 198 pounds (90 kg) without the suit.

I know this is coming off as tooting my own horn, but the reality is that I'm just very excited about it, because it was a big part of my younger years.

This is a very cool compliment to see, as someone who regularly tried to hit the sub 1 hour clear mark for Super Metroid.

My absolute favorite thing about the morphball is that even in canon it's a total mindfuck that makes no sense. Very light lore spoilers for Metroid Prime 1:

spoilerThere's a couple of research scans that essentially describe Space Pirate reverse engineering of Samus' morphball tech that basically say "This morphball shit is a lost cause. All our test crew have ended up as extremely dead pretzels. We should just quit while we're behind on this one."

"Oh you're a Van Canto fan? What are the lyrics to any of their instruments?"

On a serious note, thanks for reminding me about Van Canto. Such great tunes!

The takeaway from this is that half of all monks may or may not have duck telepathy, yes?

This is my biggest lament about getting a 2060 without knowing how important vram is. I can make it perform better and more efficiently a bunch of different ways, but to my knowledge, I can't get around the 6GB vram wall.

Correction: someone did a study at MIT about aluminum helmets, not tin foil hats. The important distinction being aluminum vs. tin.

Word to the wise: Only buy tin for your protective day wear, as it hasn't been proven ineffective at blocking radio waves by MIT, unlike aluminum. Stay safe out there!

Quick addendum: This is a bit. Don't come after me, Big Aluminum.
