    I was a kid when the prequels came out. I remember the hate for them, but most of my friends that were my age all loved them, as did I.

    I think people tend to like what they grew up with and dislike what comes out when they are older.

    You can see this pattern in Pokemon games as well. I grew up with gen 2 and gen 3. When gen 4 came out, it seemed like everyone hated it. Same with gen 5. But now most people act like gen 5 was the last good one.








  • I’m finally getting around to playing Hollow Knight. I’m decently far into the game now, and I’m having fun. It reminds me of the original Metroid where there are very few limits to where you can go early on, and you can just sort of get lost exploring and discovering really meaningful upgrades seemingly by accident. As opposed to the Ori games, which remind me of newer Metroid games where there is clearly a path that you are supposed to be on and very set order for you to get meaningful upgrades with a little bit of variance to reward extra exploration.


  • It really depends. For example, the app might not be sending data on what is happening. It might just say “event 1 happened” which triggers it to flash blue or “event 2 happened” which triggers it to flash rainbow. If there are no additional information, then the only way it could be done is by modifying the app.

    And that’s not even getting into creating custom firmware for the device. You would either need to get your hands on their source code for that or reverse engineer it.

    I’m a firm believer that nothing is impossible, but one this is for sure, it would likely be a ton of work.
