I actually don’t know the way you’re supposed to beat Super Metroid “correctly.” I’ve always done what I ended up learning was a major sequence break resulting from a bunch of bomb jumps to get the power bomb early, and use that to get some other stuff that allows me to beat the game out of order.

I also never start Metroid Prime without immediately getting the double jump. I used to be up there on speed running that game. I don’t play the player’s choice or switch versions whenever I decide to crack it out. The original was literal perfection.

Yeah, I understood. My reply wasn’t actually directed at you; sorry for not being clear. I just wanted to add that bit in case other readers didn’t know that this was more forceful than a request.

They weren’t asked, they were mandated to do so directly by executive order. I get the desire to not comply, here, but if I’m NIH, I’m probably thinking that complying to keep the doors open for four years will do a hell of a lot more for the country than if they refuse and Trump totally dismantles their entire architecture with enough time that it’s difficult to reinstitute when he’s gone.
