It's been a long time since I've watched a Game Theory episode (it seems like 4 out of 5 videos these days is about that Freddy thing I don't care about), but they did a Metroid one recently, that was actually interesting.
It theorised that the animals in Super Metroid that demonstrated certain abilities for you (those monkey things & the space ostrich) were actually X parasite copied organisms.
In SM:
Although they were just there to teach you the moves in lieu of a tutorial, the animals did hang around the Chozo upgrade rooms, insinuating that if they really were X, they could have copied the abilities (in Fusion, it is shown that the X can copy, and are in fact attracted to, technology in addition to biological life).
The room you can choose to save them from at the end of the game is adjacent to the Ghost Ship, which Samus repowered earlier in the game.
Maybe they were helping Samus out in this situation since she was fighting the being trying to clone Metroids, their only predator.
In Fusion:
Both animals are aboard the space station, yet are the only two types that the X aren't known to attack (maybe because they are already infected).
They actually have the capability to pilot Samus' ship, and in fact save her at game's end (the ability to pilot the ship actually makes more sense if they're actually X).
Why save Samus, and not just escape in the ship themselves? Maybe they deduced that she is better suited to dealing with Metroids than they are, so it's in their best interest to keep her around. Plus, taking the form of cute, cuddly, harmless and helpful animals may help the parasite to survive in case of an assault on them (heck, in Samus' case, her sparing of the baby metroid shows her soft spot for the cute & cuddly, even if it could grow up to be dangerous).
It's unlikely Nintendo were thinking this far ahead, but it's cool to think about.

Nah. I'm curious to see what happens if I don't make any sacrifices for one day.
Meh, it's only the end of the world.
EDIT:
So, I've been using Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce for a few years now, but I've always stuck with the original recipe. Well, I finally got up the courage to try the Honey Barbaque flavor and it's....okay? It has more of a hickory flavor than I expected. Almost too much, tbh. But I had it on a burger, so I figured, "maybe I need to add ketchup?"
dont blame ya, i heard mmiissiissiippii has the worst ever

And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)

I didn't make any sacrifices and now I'm sick as a dog. Stupid fever.... And today's football night to top it off, and it looks like I'm going to miss it.
Lesson, keep doing you sacrifices to the Eevee overlords. (Not really xD)
