Having played all of the 2d Metroids, Super Metroid still holds up very well, even compared to the newer games. There’s less direction than what you might be used to though. Newer entries in the series tend to try to funnel you places. But if you are simply concerned about the gameplay being clunky, don’t be.
Super Metroid way ahead of its time, and the controls are extremely responsive and tight. It’s one of the reasons it’s such a popular speed game. It’s just fun to play.

Once generative ML gets good enough that it’s indistinguishable from legitimate evidence, it’ll be possible for anyone with that kind of power to construct whatever reality is convenient. We were always at war with Eastasia.
Because security is still a big deal. There are post quantum algorithms, but there are similar post quantum algorithms that have been proven to be flawed. It’s important to allow technology like this to mature prior to adoption.
In practice, it’s hard to know exactly how Reddit structures the data they have and what exactly a delete actually does and what backups they have.
That being said, it’s not out of the question that you could delete your post history, then your account, and reddit only restores your post history and not your account, leaving you unable to delete it again.
Anakin brought balance to the force by slaughtering all of the Jedi.
Before, thousands of Jedi, like 4(?) sith.
After, 2 Jedi, 2 sith. Perfectly balanced.
