I really like the Metroid series (though I admit I have not played them all yet, including Dread), but I think the first game was way too artificially hard. I wanted to play through all the games in order, but I gave up playing the series in Norfair because of how unfair and brutal it was ( I played and got 112% on Hollow Knight before checking out this game, so trust me, I have played and had fun on hard challenges before). Thankfully, Metroid Zero Mission fixed almost every problem I had with the NES game (and I actually enjoyedmy time playing it), however the remake doesn't cover up the fact that the original game may be the most unfair game I have ever played ON THE SECOND AREA.

The thing that amazes me is that programming on duct tape is _technically_ possible! A really long strip of duct tape acts as one of the parts of the theoretical Turing Machine which can do any computation, the other being the read-write head which travels up and down the tape and writes or erases marks according to some set of rules.

I always considered the doughnuts (I called them SpaghettiOs) to be just projectiles, so there'd be in the same category as shooting to open a door. But I'd also count shooting any enemy as a violation of the rules of pacifist, even if it's just freezing it.

17:09 I did the same exact thing when I played Sonic 1 with Cream the rabbit! I had a donut in a bag from when I was working at Piggly Wiggly with some students and a teacher from Wilmot which I was saving as my reward for finishing the playthrough. And yes it took me a few hours to finish the playthrough. But the donut was still in good condition.

OBJECTION! Donuts are legally people, therefore, eating a donut invalidates the run.

Love that the "get trolled by the developers" bit is the most replayed. It had me in STITCHES. (10:48 for mobile users)

Upvoted for "donuts are legally people." I need that on a shirt now.

Telling people that they were programed on duct tape is my new favorite insult
