 karmacolorcat | * also can we talk how the feds manage to engineer a funking Plasma Beam and Power Bombs among other Samus trinkets? | 23:09:15 |

 genghiskombat | I would...well, actually sort of flip a coin as to whether or not Prime 4 has an explanation ready for why Samus's suit looks different in Primes 2 and 3, admittedly. Heads, we get it explained. Tails, Prime 4 goes right back to the pre-Prime 2 look and acts like it was just always that way. | 23:09:57 |
| karmacolorcat | * You'd think that means they now have the means capable of producing weapons of the same caliber, but I think they solely created Samus-only software while still not having the hardware to make it work | 23:09:58 |
| genghiskombat | Because whatever English words Sakamoto seems to know, "consistency" ain't one of 'em. | 23:10:14 |
| karmacolorcat | you sure like to Dunk on Sakamoto | 23:10:32 |
| karmacolorcat | I dont understand it, he conceived the series, you should have a bit of respect to him, it's as if I'd dunked on Miyamoto for- | 23:11:01 |
| karmacolorcat | actually nevermind | 23:11:05 |
| karmacolorcat | I get it now | 23:11:06 |
| karmacolorcat | carry on | 23:11:09 |

 monody | IMO the flat-top visor design in ZM, Prime 1, M2, and Super is the "funky" affectation and the Primes 2, 3, and Hunters design is what a Varia Suit is supposed to look like without the custom modifications they did for her. | 23:11:39 |
| genghiskombat | IMO you may want to check the calendar, because it's not Opposite Day - AHEM... | 23:12:16 |
| karmacolorcat | I think the suits appearances can be solved by saying art direction didnt take consistency into account | 23:12:56 |
| karmacolorcat | kind of like how Samus (the chick) looks different in every game up until ZM | 23:13:48 |
 Co-Chief to the Idiocy Officer | He may have conceived a lot of the series, but until Other M, he had people to reign in his ideas to be reasonable and consistent. | 23:13:58 |

| karmacolorcat | No, I completely get it | 23:14:48 |
| karmacolorcat | creators are not like they used to and that is unfortunate, same happes with Miyamoto | 23:15:04 |
| karmacolorcat | it sucks | 23:15:05 |
| genghiskombat | Yeah, that's the thing. Other M is to Sakamoto what Star Fox Zero is to Miyamoto...or what Daibatana is to John Romero. | 23:15:18 |
| karmacolorcat | * creators are not like they used to and that is unfortunate, same happens with Miyamoto | 23:15:19 |
| genghiskombat | Or what Mighty No. 9 is to Keiji Inafune. | 23:15:37 |
| karmacolorcat | ...I believe I dont get it | 23:15:48 |
| karmacolorcat | well, now that you mention Mighty, I KIND of get it? | 23:15:56 |
| genghiskombat | My point is, it's an example of what happens when they forget that lanes exist, refuse to stay in their own, and instead insist on hogging the entire road. | 23:16:18 |
| genghiskombat | If there's one lesson to be learned from cases like that, it's that no developer's success can be boiled down to one single person. | 23:16:56 |
| karmacolorcat | I dont think that's a bad thing on it's own, limiting creativity is a dangerous thing to do | 23:17:24 |
| karmacolorcat | I think it goes down to knowing where things are supposed to be going | 23:17:39 |
| karmacolorcat | discretion, moderation, not outright prohibiting | 23:17:55 |
