Clearly this is an example of free market capitalism supply and demand at its best. Demand is low compared to supply because "the left" refuses to bribe politicians, and so prices are kept low.

Oh it was just a silly joke about Java, that I messed up at that lol.
One of the original selling points was that it was "compile once, run anywhere" because you compile Java to bytecode, and then run it on the JVM. In contrast to C, C++, Rust, and others where you compile it and then don't need to install a "RustVM" to run it, but you need to compile a separate version for linux, windows, mac, and different cpu architectures like x86, x86_64, arm, etc. Usually it's easiest to compile it on the version you want to use it on, because compiling for windows while on linux or for arm while on x86 can get weird. And then you need to recompile it if they introduce a breaking change (linux and mac are bad at this, but at least linux distros take that burden of packaging somewhat. And introduce their own complications, of course :)

This is a big part of why I like Mumble. Once it's set up you pretty much don't need to touch your settings. But it is not a drop in replacement for "join this link for a video call"

I suspect the reason this doesn't happen with email is that for most it's "gmail.com" or their company name :/

Are you okay with spicy? I learned about harissa a bit ago and am putting it in everything, including hummus :3

Sorry, didn't mean to derail the thread! How well do you think it would play on an emulator? I don't have access to a 3DS

Super Metroid is probably my favorite Metroid of all time. Zero Mission is up there too. So your description might be accurate. I definitely appreciated that AM2R has a Super Metroid control scheme, if that tells you anything.
Yeah, I do think the difficulty is a bit higher in AM2R. Super Metroid and Zero Mission you'll have enough health and missiles to tank pretty much any boss while missle spamming. I think it's comparable to Fusion's difficulty, with a few spots that are a bit harder. There is an difficulty selector in AM2R; I don't know how much of a difference that does or doesn't make.
Fusion and AM2R while I enjoyed I have less of a desire to go back and replay than Super Metroid, in large part because of the linearity for both. It could also be that I am biased because it was my first Metroid game :) . There are also plenty of Super Metroid ROM hacks, though I only really played one.
In AM2R's case hunting the metroids also gets a bit old by the end. Doing the same mini boss fight is only fun so many times, though it is cool how even the same metroid type gets better ai as it goes.
If you can get past the difficulty Irenes (no shame on playing on easy!) then I suspect you will like AM2R's interpretation of the environments in Metroid II. Combined with the soundtrack which was clearly made with lots of love for Metroid's soundtracks in general, it was fun to explore.

I really should play the 1991 version and the 2017 version sometime. I only played AM2R, but I thoroughly enjoyed that.
