Dunno if I'm misunderstanding you or you're misunderstanding the person you replied to, but Notepad++ is a third party program unaffiliated with windows or notepad. It's also an astronomical step up from notepad and it's free and has optional plugins and whatnot.

Half? How much music do you have?

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:

::: spoiler spoiler There'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." :::

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

lol I'm not describing myself here, I'm just a fish with no meat.

It's just been (oddly, I think) a recurring thing that multiple friends have done at ren faires (and costume parties). I know at least 3 people who have done the concealed boob sword thing, and plenty of extras who opted for bottles of hard alcohol instead.

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.
