Been playing Metroid Zero Mission (GBA)

I played it a few months ago. Are you aware that there are some "undocummented" movements that Samus can do? Such as wall jump, speed booster, shinespark, etc.

I only discovered those near the end of the game... :(

@meleu Speedbooster is an actual item in the game, you get it after fighting Kraid

Oh. True. And this an item you need to perform that crazy shinespark.

I haven't listened to the Barenaked Ladies in ages. Are they promoting a new album? When I use to live (in the US but) close to Canada, one of the radio stations would play them all the time. The band would also personally come down and visit the radio station from time to time even playing acoustic sets.

Cool T-shirt btw!

Early this month I got the Humble Monthly Bundle June 2017 for $12 and I finally got around to playing SUPERHOT and Maize.

SUPERHOT is fun and a little challenging at times but is definitely not "The most innovative shooter I've played in years" and took me about 2 hours to play through the main story (if you want to call it a story).

Maize was very enjoyable and had an off-beat point and click adventure sense of humor. If I was going to describe it to someone, I would call it a "First Person Point & Click Adventure". It has a rich story and took me about 6 hours to complete. As a side note, I actually played this game through Moonlight on my Raspberry Pi.

@backstander I wanted to play SUPERHOT, does it run like crap on your computer to?

No, it actually ran pretty well but I have a decent gaming rig.

lilbud

@backstander Ah, my computer is not the best, but even turning everything down did nothing

@lilbud When's the last time you tried it? Maybe there's been some optimization updates?

lilbud

@backstander about 2 months ago.

@lilbud
It looks like the last patch update was on March 3rd 2016:

@backstander Nothing was changed, I put the game down to 800x600 and it still struggled to reach 40 fps

someone online says to "Make sure you use V-sync in the settings. It fixes the stuttering."
