@HotGoomba Nice- green tea out my nose level lol. So is your sleep paralysis demon not cute AND horrifying? This could easily be all three for *some of us. My demon def has bangs almost as cute as mine.
@COVIDberry Also I missed the breasts so I couldn’t get all disturbed they were bigger than mine! err I mean umm. He hee. I only care about the science anyway~~ def missed the name in the vid, I was Easter egg hunting. Wondering if the gold/gun etc had some Rutherford connection since I can’t think of anything else at the moment.
@COVIDberry Me too- This hits a bunch of favs. Noir, science (cosmo too!), love triangle, jazz/improv!... Science Girl is cautiously interested~
There are almost too many red flags though, so I hope it is just science humor: See: -“Before the Big Bang” (although BB is descriptive more than prescriptive so proscribing time may be an overreach; in common use BB is the time origin and in being writing “before” is not unlike South of the South Pole.) -“Massive vs microscopic” (false dichotomy, yes yes other meaning of massive but that is sloppy) -“Deterministic universe” (ok, this could be an in game mechanic; but sadly even many professors in physical sciences are unaware Laplace’s demon is weaker than Maxwell’s- put in another way: we do not live in a deterministic universe)
@nessisonett @Dirty0814 Dust in the ball area...?? Erm? Hmmm Now as NL’s lady scientist I might be missing something~~ but is this a backhanded compliment? As in: peeps WITHOUT DRIFT are tossers/too wild? (Since no dust settles) I don’t have this equipment... a switch I mean~~~ so I’m unclear on the dust issue.
@BloodNinja Thanks! Upon looking it was “Final soldier” that I was thinking of- but I like super/blade just about as much (musically) too. The naming of those games confuses me so I just throw words at a search engine. ~~I couldn’t check out the link before, very thoughtful though thanks~~
The music sounds different in a let’s play- with all the f x. Etc. but I’m glad to know clean tracks exist! The defined bass line Like in Rondo of blood with ..?16-bit drums? And sythin melody is great for mentally demanding flow-focusing. Super star soldier’s older sound makes the layers easier to parse, although more 8-bit/?? pixel-ish (for better or worse)
For more mindless tasks (e.g. barefoot preg sci-girl in the kitchen making sauce or series solution separable linear differential equations )music like Shostakovich, Satie, Beethoven is great (when not relaxing with sweet saxophone heavy jazz )
Hope any other readers also checkout these games available in a number of places! ~Sadly Image Fight II has been removed from the VC... sad yoshi sounds.
@screechums It’s hard to get on board with “doomed”- but to take your point further I’ll add: It’s this way with music too... Old CDs have little art books! And the digital purchases both are not able to be passed on, as in if a spouse dies at 25 with a huge “Shared” backlog- or shared music/book/video library it’s gone for the other spouse (or anyone else).
Also, reading the agreement almost all such purchases have, the limited digital copy permission can be revoked at anytime by the publisher.
Sure, “they can’t reach into my xyz...” argument works (for) now, but such claims mean the one making them agrees that user end piracy is ok if the company does them wrong.
@KateGray -spoiler alert Zelda games: No- Gannon is just a giant leg! Of course you wouldn’t know since you never play the last castle. Thanks for the article.
It seems wide link is just an artist trying to accommodate the NES Zelda 1-square link graphic. Oh dear I’m boring.
The Wii U had scanned manuals for many VC games. This might seem like no big deal, but archives of scanned manuals online could be seen as £!€^$¥...
@Vapeguy That 3DS Metroid got me to buy a 3DS and I was not disappointed! It was even a bit of a challenge to run it fast enough for the best time window too! (Glitchless)
I played the original (game boy Metroid) on 3DS when I got it, it was great too! (Though just making a map means the second run is fastest window right). I like the isolation feel of the original, but the clear story in the new one helps make up for the teaming with life and excessively glorified brutality in the QTE. I just look past it as a gimmick like the ocean of giant boobs in other games.
@BloodNinja Awe gee! so Image Fight II making the flight-sim (aka game) within a game aspect would also fit for the metaphor but only a refined ninja like you would understand
Also @BloodNinja: Sad to inform you... I feel like such a bad scientist girl... That whole throwing star thing has hit major setbacks. My grad student was not reading the data right. I determined a workaround. Looks like at best: For all throwing items use all caps Throwing stars: use a “ * “ Throwing knife: use underline
I can send you relevant journal articles on making matter form from high energy density physics and photonics, but this is a reach...
@X-blades Yeah I was confused by this at first too. I think our dear author equates having more disposable income due to personal circumstances with a societal shift. I can’t afford a switch and I’ve gladly played the same games over and over. Watchout... this backlog stuff looks scary
@BloodNinja Per your time management... you are an A+ to science Girl.
Stump talk made me consider something: The soldier series had one with the best music of all shump-dom.. I think it was number 3 super star blade soldier??? Hope you know it. So I have the “let’s play” vid running whenever I bring the labs high-vac helium cryostat down to operating conditions... Point being, listening to a game’s music is another example that the “ending” is a component of a composite structure as much as the music is. On the other side, every time I stop the music I “end” there too. Oh no everybody is right
@KillerBOB Yes, “normalize” should be left to the professionals as it is getting used so loosely goosey. Science Girl will help clear it up: normalizing is a way to rescale to a dimensionless magnitude e.g the normal vector, which has direction but no change in magnitude or dimension (units etc.)
@Willmercade Whoa- You mean you never turned left with double+ ships at the level 99 base in galaga? That’s the end path FYI Easy to miss I guess~~ just like that trick in bubble bobble.
@Beatrice @kickerofelves Thanks for the thought~ On the Secret Mana game, I think kickofelves is on to why it has aged a bit: the multiplayer aspect- Though there were other oldie simultaneous multiplayer games, Mario kart and Secret Mana were actually good although games of the time; but the group play was a major draw - maybe? I could be way off.
(Pardon if I missed a similar comment I am lost on what many of the bigger gamers are talking about)
@BloodNinja No problem: Science Girl is developing multiple forms of throwable metals for you in the lab! You will need an Ethernet connection...my lab director thinks it’s a new ceramic-bonding photonics experiment. For now...
Thank you for the new levels Ultra Dolphin Revolution! I played the space hunted level ASAP when I got Mario Maker recently. The ending A vs ending B was a good design tip for new players.
@Harmonie Yes, wolves are best!* (*from what I know of playing a little of the phone game). Due to a strange color choice I thought the first deer I met was a foal, but otherwise I ‘ve since only friend-invited wolves. My poor deer is getting nervous though.
@Damo Thanks for telling us these things-(see below) you all offer a nice site!
Likewise I’m grateful that Nintendo announced the Maker 1 shutdown, which I read about here, so I had a chance with the series on the cheap (I don’t have a switch).
It is also nice to read all of the comments from you fine people; thanks!
@MS7000 Best idea! Need to get you in for testing... You may grow to twice your size or more, gain an extra life, die suddenly, or become tiny and able to run on water...
The flower in the pizza may elicit extreme heart burn. Only talk directly to people you don’t like too much today.
but when I do I decorate my 3DS home screen for an hour when I should be processing samples late into the night at the lab... (Stay thirsty meme image image)
@BloodNinja Must check out even a let’s play vid- never tried this oldie! ~Love the sax too; I played some strange giant bass sax in orchestra as a kid bc I was the only sax player athletic enough to have enough wind or maybe they figured I’d carry the coffin of a case without crying... It was bigger than me!
Glad to know it helps me on my path to true ninja-dom.
@COVIDberry Thanks for the look out~~ On Emily’s Wonder Lab (my comment was intended in jest about gathering around a 3DS but it might be written poorly) Since I’ve seen only a few episodes as the babysitter that were excessively kiddie but not bad (strictly) I still cannot truly endorse this program or cite its errors without more info.
but Science Girl agrees kids of ages 9 and up will enjoy spectroscopy! 8 yr olds, due to their degenerate state hate spectroscopy with a burning passion that consumes on the same order it emits; their passion Leads an unjustified hope that their energy levels are not quantized...
There has been talk these games (AC, Stardew, etc. ) Have no wrong way to play - Yet the evidence of this is often descriptions of players using these games within the anticipated parameters of the designers and simply not maximizing efficiency etc.
Perhaps many games fit this type, and many do it better... Don’t many other games fit the play it your way ethos better? for example:
Didn’t anyone else wander the halls of Metroid pretending to be a scientist and never using the weapons against any creatures? You can bring animals through the doors in that game and thus have a “pet.” There is even hidden out of bounds areas in this game to explore.
@JasmineDragon “With More biting “ ... not just “with”, but more- both funny and so so true.
@Harmonie It’s nice to read your experience. I found that same “game made for me” feeling with the old NES Metroid bc it has a password to play as a woman. It became a place to explore rather than a place to shoot everything for me.
It’s ok if Mario abandons us... Just watch Emily’s Wonder Lab [1]! Best viewing on a 3DS with kids, or an old person if you are a kid; you can learn together! Soon we’ll all be scientists!
This just in...my Science Girl machine learning program has filtered the highest impact comment... yes... its from: @BloodNinja The DS Castlevanias! You are the master konami ninja! I think i peed a lil bit.
@Kr96 It’s a nice thought- strangely ports are shifting towards games from last year right?
As much as last gen games are nice, things at least Wii/Ds age trauma/EO 3 seems better and much older hard to access IPs the best for ports eg that 90s hacker redux treatment on a saturn game.
@15roundTKO Ahh, this is why backwards compatibility is so bad... Truly, amazing titles! You have a gift, watch out or they might hire/c&d you. Imagine micro-transactions while waiting for the downloads! Where is my credit card?
@pixelpatch Double compliment? First on technical matters and then, isn’t “sir” the title of a knight? Has Dr_g, aka Science Girl, risen to the level of awesomeness- in line with her towering intellect, adorbs bangs, and endless humility- to finally become a pegasus knight like Sumia and Caeda! Yeehee i wana horsey!
... Ps don’t ruin my moment with a more reasonable explanation.
@Damo Hope my lil’silly was clear to be “ ‘against’ “ the maker and never you.
Your prose elicit such levity I had to join in. Particular was the “...traditional zipper [included on back] phew! “ line. Green tea was spraying out my nose! Thank you so much for writing here, it is always stellar! I was in a cosmology journal club so I know about stellar writing
@Azuris @ZeldaFanboy78 Yes as a real scientist, backing up Azuris here though its a nuanced issue: Screens and magnetic drives (like HDDs) are the most susceptible, solid state electronics (SD cards , chips) are the least though it varies with the tech involved. Analogue (circuit bits) is mostly about induced current. As in some screens are almost impervious to “refrigerator” magnets. Magnets are being used more and more with laptops etc. as the balance skews toward them being harmless (if not too strong) after all a strong muon from a cosmic ray can erase your memory too- but most cosmic rays are weak like most magnets.
@Damo (Author?) In the name of James Clerk Maxwell! These scoundrels are trying to pull a fast one- Science girl is obliged to point out it is a well known fact that a magnet can do no work; further power is related to work in that here each is the dot product of the given force.
Now, since the orthogonality of the magnetic field is the matter at issue; it requires only a bit of reading in Jackson’ Electrodynamics to conclude this device may operate, but is in no way powered by magnets.
@Anti-Matter I’d love you reviewing the 3ds Louvre game and commenting “abs/no abs” on treasured pieces! Too silly >and to your good taste> @nhSnork Nice pic again! Given your pics you must have fantastic taste! Any tips for starting this genre/series? As in Rune moon valley season.. erm? Old games w/o QOL are good with me. I felt like I was Derpy doing a literature review on which was worth trying. The IP swapped hands, other intrigue.. then i was distracted by adorbs animal sprites, it was all over.
Honestly who doesn’t want a digital version of AJ’s farm and family?
@BloodNinja You’re right as always! That would be crazy. Microscopes and x-ray diffraction spectrometers are no use- way too zoomed in.
I’d have 10x size max on my ninja pictures on the lab wall next to the glove box so i can dream of heroic exploits while doing spin epitaxy for organic electronics... Err i mean. Thats what some crazy fan would do... umm. Free smash! More FE sword peeps! I have got to get out of the lab.
@ChromaticDracula Sry meant to say~ Agree on BM & Metroid! You must have great taste, good looks, and a towering intellect like me!!! The BM series, where the tank can eject at-will added so much. Best series! Metroid had the Justin B code so it sold me as a game with a “girls’ mode” he he; but that let it grow on me idk. I think there is character choice in BMZ2 so best of both series?
Checkout Blaster-M-likes: -Panzer paladin / metal warriors (Removable robot armor games) -Moon Chronicles (3ds/Ds) for a 3d shooter with a bit of dis-mountable rover. Though this is more common these days (IDK)? -Wiiware BM overdrive Amost as good as the NES game (sorry only 4 pirates like sunshine and FE1 soon )
Great series & pricing!
Love BMZ BEST remake/boot whatever
-Replay with “Hard mode” which made it about as tough as the classics but with saving.
Love NES & GBC BM games too!
(yes they are different games, same assets, and a few new mechanics; think mario 1 vs mario 2 (Japan))
Sadly I have not played much BMZ #2! Its been my “reward” for a big project at the lab.
Science takes too long. Hold on, my frog got loose. I’ve got to get it out of a pit outside...
@matdub Nice! I don’t care about it usually. Long story but I put a swindler in his place who thought i was just a cute girl. Made all the time in school worth it.
Oh um. That and helping on a cancer project too of course. Oopsie. My hubris is showing. (Sad yoshi sounds)
@BloodNinja Awe- who am I that the fierce shinobi of my shogun master would visit such gracious words upon me?! Science girl is always ready to team with BloodNinja if you need me. You ninja-ing stuff while I apply a systematic line of repeatable analysis. It’s better than Mario and Yoshi! ...though i imagine you...” work alone” (sigh) so from behind my adorbs big bangs* i wait longingly doing important looking things in my lab as my every heart beat is for our next rendezvous... Fly like a dragon Bloodninja~~
Eek no refs! What kind if scientist am I? I know I’ll use a foot not to add cred.
*Foot note: If you liked me here dearNinja, i was a bit more scientific though not as loquacious on “Anniversary: Nintendo Switch...” explaining a hypothesis relating to morphology in human cases.
In case it was confusing: i was saying if we “all go shirtless” my lady bits may get a bit of a reaction.
Most clearly- Scientific hypothesis: Mean Positive Reaction (MPR) is directly proportional to angular displacement of areola exposure (radially outward) and mass of adipose tissue proximal to mammary gland but inverse to subject’s BMI.....
@rjejr Great idea!!! I missed your celebration sans masks & shirts posts. Though hardest on @anti-matter, great idea making it for “ all! “ hey it can be like Mardi Gras - I’ll just tell anyone gawking to throw money if they don’t have beads... Switches for everybody!!!
A quote proving big companies are beyond criticism on business choices: “I happen to represent Enron here in Houston. We have many good corporate citizens here in Houston. Enron happened to have been one.” -Lee
I’m not on a “side” here- many parents way back when considered the SNES to be a dirty move too, yet many here love the SNES. It’s ok for us to have diverse views right?
I’d buy FE1, but i can’t afford a Switch so I’m over it.
@rjejr Between the fan art & system folders you must be quite a smart person ... computational algorithms agree, thinking like me means people must be smart!
@Anti-Matter It’s good helping us all smile through this- and full circle ... those Beatmania [...] food-critters are homeless without any folders!
“Finally my time to serve is here” -Wii U (with dozens of folders rescues Switch by porting each folder for only 9.99 )

There are almost too many red flags though, so I hope it is just science humor:
See:
-“Before the Big Bang” (although BB is descriptive more than prescriptive so proscribing time may be an overreach; in common use BB is the time origin and in being writing “before” is not unlike South of the South Pole.)
-“Massive vs microscopic” (false dichotomy, yes yes other meaning of massive but that is sloppy)
-“Deterministic universe” (ok, this could be an in game mechanic; but sadly even many professors in physical sciences are unaware Laplace’s demon is weaker than Maxwell’s- put in another way: we do not live in a deterministic universe)

Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Normalise Giving Up On Games Early

~~I couldn’t check out the link before, very thoughtful though thanks~~
The music sounds different in a let’s play- with all the f x. Etc. but I’m glad to know clean tracks exist!
The defined bass line Like in Rondo of blood with ..?16-bit drums? And sythin melody is great for mentally demanding flow-focusing.
Super star soldier’s older sound makes the layers easier to parse, although more 8-bit/?? pixel-ish (for better or worse)
For more mindless tasks (e.g. barefoot preg sci-girl in the kitchen making sauce or series solution separable linear differential equations )music like Shostakovich, Satie, Beethoven is great (when not relaxing with sweet saxophone heavy jazz )

Re: Random: Forget Fat Pikachu - We're All About Wide Link

Truly, amazing titles! You have a gift, watch out or they might hire/c&d you. Imagine micro-transactions while waiting for the downloads! Where is my credit card?

Double compliment?
First on technical matters and then, isn’t “sir” the title of a knight? Has Dr_g, aka Science Girl, risen to the level of awesomeness- in line with her towering intellect, adorbs bangs, and endless humility- to finally become a pegasus knight like Sumia and Caeda! Yeehee i wana horsey!
...
Ps don’t ruin my moment with a more reasonable explanation.

Hope my lil’silly was clear to be “ ‘against’ “ the maker and never you.
Your prose elicit such levity I had to join in.
Particular was the “...traditional zipper [included on back] phew! “ line.
Green tea was spraying out my nose!
Thank you so much for writing here, it is always stellar! I was in a cosmology journal club so I know about stellar writing

@pixelpatch
Yes, this is what I was getting at, i long for your brevity.
Re: Hate Zips? Then This Magnet-Powered Nintendo Switch Carry Bag Could Be For You
@Azuris @ZeldaFanboy78
Yes as a real scientist, backing up Azuris here though its a nuanced issue:
Screens and magnetic drives (like HDDs) are the most susceptible, solid state electronics (SD cards , chips) are the least though it varies with the tech involved. Analogue (circuit bits) is mostly about induced current. As in some screens are almost impervious to “refrigerator” magnets. Magnets are being used more and more with laptops etc. as the balance skews toward them being harmless (if not too strong) after all a strong muon from a cosmic ray can erase your memory too- but most cosmic rays are weak like most magnets.

In the name of James Clerk Maxwell! These scoundrels are trying to pull a fast one-
Science girl is obliged to point out it is a well known fact that a magnet can do no work; further power is related to work in that here each is the dot product of the given force.
Now, since the orthogonality of the magnetic field is the matter at issue; it requires only a bit of reading in Jackson’ Electrodynamics to conclude this device may operate, but is in no way powered by magnets.
Thanks for the fun site NL!

I’d love you reviewing the 3ds Louvre game and commenting “abs/no abs” on treasured pieces! Too silly
>and to your good taste>
@nhSnork
Nice pic again! Given your pics you must have fantastic taste!
Any tips for starting this genre/series? As in Rune moon valley season.. erm? Old games w/o QOL are good with me. I felt like I was Derpy doing a literature review on which was worth trying. The IP swapped hands, other intrigue.. then i was distracted by adorbs animal sprites, it was all over.
Honestly who doesn’t want a digital version of AJ’s farm and family?
Re: Random: Sakurai Has Figures Of Upcoming Smash Fighters But Hides Them In A Drawer
@BloodNinja
You’re right as always! That would be crazy. Microscopes and x-ray diffraction spectrometers are no use- way too zoomed in.
I’d have 10x size max on my ninja pictures on the lab wall next to the glove box so i can dream of heroic exploits while doing spin epitaxy for organic electronics... Err i mean. Thats what some crazy fan would do... umm.
Free smash! More FE sword peeps!
I have got to get out of the lab.
Re: Blaster Master Zero 3 Explodes Onto Switch This June
@ChromaticDracula
Sry meant to say~ Agree on BM & Metroid! You must have great taste, good looks, and a towering intellect like me!!!
The BM series, where the tank can eject at-will added so much. Best series!
Metroid had the Justin B code so it sold me as a game with a “girls’ mode” he he; but that let it grow on me idk. I think there is character choice in BMZ2 so best of both series?
Checkout Blaster-M-likes:
-Panzer paladin / metal warriors
(Removable robot armor games)
-Moon Chronicles (3ds/Ds) for a 3d shooter with a bit of dis-mountable rover.
Though this is more common these days (IDK)?
-Wiiware BM overdrive
Amost as good as the NES game (sorry only 4 pirates like sunshine and FE1 soon )
Re: Blaster Master Zero 3 Explodes Onto Switch This June
Great series & pricing!
Love BMZ BEST remake/boot whatever
-Replay with “Hard mode” which made it about as tough as the classics but with saving.
Love NES & GBC BM games too!
(yes they are different games, same assets, and a few new mechanics; think mario 1 vs mario 2 (Japan))
Sadly I have not played much BMZ #2! Its been my “reward” for a big project at the lab.
Science takes too long. Hold on, my frog got loose. I’ve got to get it out of a pit outside...

@matdub
Nice! I don’t care about it usually. Long story but I put a swindler in his place who thought i was just a cute girl. Made all the time in school worth it.
Oh um. That and helping on a cancer project too of course. Oopsie.
My hubris is showing. (Sad yoshi sounds)
Re: Here's What Arby's Shovel Knight Launcher Tokens Unlock In-Game
@BloodNinja
Awe- who am I that the fierce shinobi of my shogun master would visit such gracious words upon me?!
Science girl is always ready to team with BloodNinja if you need me. You ninja-ing stuff while I apply a systematic line of repeatable analysis. It’s better than Mario and Yoshi! ...though i imagine you...” work alone” (sigh) so from behind my adorbs big bangs* i wait longingly doing important looking things in my lab as my every heart beat is for our next rendezvous... Fly like a dragon Bloodninja~~
Eek no refs! What kind if scientist am I?
I know I’ll use a foot not to add cred.
*Foot note:
If you liked me here dearNinja, i was a bit more scientific though not as loquacious on “Anniversary: Nintendo Switch...” explaining a hypothesis relating to morphology in human cases.

Oops Yeah typo-
In case it was confusing: i was saying if we “all go shirtless” my lady bits may get a bit of a reaction.
Most clearly-
Scientific hypothesis: Mean Positive Reaction (MPR) is directly proportional to angular displacement of areola exposure (radially outward) and mass of adipose tissue proximal to mammary gland but inverse to subject’s BMI.....

Great idea!!!
I missed your celebration sans masks & shirts posts. Though hardest on @anti-matter, great idea making it for “ all! “ hey it can be like Mardi Gras - I’ll just tell anyone gawking to throw money if they don’t have beads... Switches for everybody!!!

Thanks for the screen info (incase i can ever use it as people sell/trash for 4k hype) Is input lag low on those? I’m so sensitive my 3ds seems laggy.

A quote proving big companies are beyond criticism on business choices:
“I happen to represent Enron here in Houston. We have many good corporate citizens here in Houston. Enron happened to have been one.” -Lee
I’m not on a “side” here- many parents way back when considered the SNES to be a dirty move too, yet many here love the SNES. It’s ok for us to have diverse views right?
I’d buy FE1, but i can’t afford a Switch so I’m over it.

Between the fan art & system folders you must be quite a smart person ... computational algorithms agree, thinking like me means people must be smart!
