Why do people treat Metroid as a flagship franchise for Nintendo?

When people discuss Nintendo games, they'll name popular franchises, like Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Splatoon, and so on, often in the same breath people will mention Metroid among them...

I’ve always thought of Metroid as being part of the big 3: Mario, Zelda, Metroid. Kirby is more of a HAL thing.

Gustavo Petro responds to Trump: “Overthrow me…the Americas and humanity will respond”

Gustavo Petro responds to Trump: “Overthrow me…the Americas and humanity will respond" : Peoples Dispatch

Trump announced retaliatory measures against Colombia after Petro refused to let a US military plane full of deported Colombians land in the South American nation, citing inhumane treatment.

MBFC:

Overall, we rate The People’s Dispatch as Far-Left Biased based on promoting Marxist-Leninist perspectives. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to consistent one-sided reporting that lacks context and a complete lack of transparency.

I'm curious, do you think there is some bias in this article? What is it?

In case you doubt their translation, you can find the original source of the statement by Petro here.

Is there some other source, which you consider less biased, which has published an English-language translation of his response to Trump?

Or, would you consider any reporting at all of this head of state's response to be intrinsically biased?

I used that link to look up the source. It wasn't here so I posted it here. I do the same with archive links.

I didn't report this and don't have a problem with it. In general, the fact that they don't disclose the country they operate out of is problematic since we can't know if they're operating from a place where telling the truth is illegal.

Edit: I should also say that it's important they've never failed a fact check. I don't really care about them having editorial bias as long as we know what it is.

Do you post MBFC links on articles from outlets they classify as "unbiased" too, or just the "biased" ones?

As others have pointed out many times before, the entirely flawed premise behind MBFC is that centrism correlates with credibility and/or factualness.

I didn’t report this and don’t have a problem with it.

cool 👍

In general, the fact that they don’t disclose the country they operate out of is problematic

Who doesn't disclose where People Dispatch operates out of? MBFC? Yeah, they don't, because they're lazy hacks who's job it is to impugn the reputation of anyone doing any journalism that isn't in service of the status quo.

since we can’t know if they’re operating from a place where telling the truth is illegal.

A couple minutes of research shows that (although their contributors are all over the world) their legal entity People's Dispatch Ltd. is registered in New York. So, the way things are headed, I guess actually you might be on to something here soon 😬

Edit: I should also say that it’s important they’ve never failed a fact check. I don’t really care about them having editorial bias as long as we know what it is.

The notion that any outlet could have no bias in what they decide is and isn't worthy of reporting on, especially the people MBFC says are unbiased, is ridiculous. And it's usually not difficult to see what an outlet's bias is without relying on a 3rd party using their own bias to classify someone else's.

I post links if I'm unfamiliar with a source and look them up, regardless of their conclusions. Sometimes I'll do research on a news source if they don't have an MBFC entry and share that as well. I assume there are others who are like, "cool story but... who the fuck is this?" I hope it spares them the extra steps.

If some people don't like that, I don't care. I count MBFC downvotes as upvotes. It helps people I'm overjoyed to help and pisses off people that I'm pretty okay with pissing off. I'm not letting a bunch of greasy misinfo ghouls call the shots.

A couple minutes of research shows that (although their contributors are all over the world) their legal entity People’s Dispatch Ltd. is registered in New York.

First, registering and operating are two different things. Human beings are not just bound by the laws of the country their corporation is registered in.

But... so what? If the information we have shows something that's problematic then new information becomes available that addresses our concerns... that's fine. That's how shit's supposed to work. MBFC is an information source, not the information source.

As others have pointed out many times before, the entirely flawed premise behind MBFC is that centrism correlates with credibility and/or factualness...

etc etc etc

Look, I've met my quota on debating weird MBFC conspiracy theorists. The reality is there are a lot of people who don't know what they're talking about posting links to webpages they haven't read. I'm not interested in someone's poorly thought out take on how they say the Guardian is quadruple Mein Kampf, or whatever. If you have links to peer-reviewed research that support those conclusions, I'd be happy to see them. You don't, though, because every bit of academic work on MBFC says those people are dead wrong.

Gustavo Petro's statement, worth a read:

Trump, I don’t like traveling to the U.S. much, it’s a bit boring, but I confess there are worthy things. I like to go to the Black neighborhoods of Washington. There, I saw a whole fight in the capital of the U.S. between Blacks and Latinos, with barricades, which seemed to me like nonsense, because they should unite.

I confess that I like Walt Whitman, Paul Simon, Noam Chomsky, and Miller.

I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, in the history of the U.S., are memorable and I follow them. They were murdered for being labor leaders with the electric chair by the fascists who are inside the U.S. just as they are in my country.

I don’t like your oil, Trump, you are going to end the human species with greed. Maybe one day, along with a drink of whisky—which I accept despite my gastritis—we can talk frankly about this, but it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race, and I am not, nor is any Colombian.

So if you are looking for a stubborn person, that’s me, period. You can try to stage a coup with your economic power and arrogance, like you did with Allende. But I will die by my law, I withstood torture, and I resist you. I don’t want slave owners on Colombia’s side, we already had many and we freed ourselves. Who I want to be on Colombia’s side are lovers of freedom. If you can’t join me, I will go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world, and you didn’t understand it. This is the land of the yellow butterflies, the beauty of Remedios, but also of Colonel Aureliano Buendía, one of whom I am, perhaps the last.

You will kill me, but I will survive in my town, which came before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and freedom.

You don’t like our freedom, fine. I do not shake hands with white slave owners. I shake the hands of libertarian whites, heirs of Lincoln, and of the Black and white rural boys from the U.S., in front of whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking through the mountains of Tuscany and after saving myself from COVID.

They are the US, and before them, I kneel, before no one else.

Overthrow me president, and the Americas and humanity will respond.

Colombia, now stop looking to the north, look to the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Córdoba, the civilization of that time, from the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood carries the resistant Black people who were turned into slaves by you. In Colombia lies the first free territory of the Americas, before Washington, of all the Americas, I take refuge there in their African songs.

My land is of the goldsmiths that existed in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete.

You will never dominate us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, and who is called Bolívar, opposes you.

Our peoples are somewhat fearful, somewhat shy, they are naive and kind, lovers, but they will know how to win back the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all over Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, now Panama, before Colombia, whom you murdered.

I raise a flag, and as Gaitán said, even if I am alone, it will remain raised with Latin American dignity, which is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather didn’t know, but mine did, Mr. President, immigrant in the US.

Your blockade does not scare me because Colombia, in addition to being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty as I do, don’t disrespect it, and it will offer you its sweetness.

COLOMBIA FROM NOW ON FACES THE WHOLE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE, AND HUMANITY.

I have been informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruit of our human labor to enter the US, I will do the same.

Let our people plant corn, which was discovered in Colombia, and feed the world.

I'm not sure where are you exactly aiming with your remark but I'm going to retort based on what I want to perceive from it.

It's better to have national airplanes pick up your nationals than to condone allow them to be transported in military aircrafts, handcuffed and who knows what else, like criminals.

To my knowledge, Colombia refused military airplanes to land/cross their airspace, while at the same time calling out the social upturn being enacted by the new american cabinet. They denounced the attitude of a wannabe dictator, and in a very straightforward way. The rest of the world should be ashamed and banding together by now.

Who cares about the cost? Nothing is more costly than spilled blood that can be avoided. Refusing military flights to carry your people is not condoning with the fascist regime currently in place in the US.

And, again, to my knowledge, all military flights are being refused to enter colombian air space, for the reasons you are pointing. Colombia went to get their people, after giving the US a piece of their mind. By contrast, Brasil received theirs handcuffed like dangerous criminals.

Leaving those they want to deport to die is coward. The statement issued by the colombian president should be undersigned by every other country in the world.

That's funny.

I remember reading the push was over the US deporting colombians, on military plains, handcuffed, as if they were prisoners of war.

El Chato threats - and announces - tariffs in retaliation of Colombia not accepting such flights.

Colombia sends their presidencial airplane to ferry the deportees - to my understanding, this is akin to retrieving POWs - after which Chato Cheetah balks and the military flights are replaced by civilian freight.

Win for Colombia. They get their people back, in humane conditions.

The fascists can still turn back on these terms, granted, but then it will be back to the beggining, with the threat of commercial tariffs, etc. Colombia goes back to sending their planes to pick up their people.

They had people there, in need of help, in the hands of very bad actors.

What were their options? Abandon those people? Become as bad as the fascists in the process? Worst, in my view. A fascist is an enemy, someone who abandons their kin is a traitor of the worst kind.

What was Colombia supposed to do, in your view? Give me a straighforward answer, not a circular comeback as you have been giving. Blurting you do not want nazis to ethnic cleanse is not an answer to my question.

The fascist american regime (not Nazi; that was the late National Socialist Party of Germany) is currently expelling foreigners by force. I am sure many have already died but we are not seeing mass graves and killings of elements of certain population groups. Be intellectualy honest, please. I am engaging in good faith.

No, his position has always been that the US could send migrants back, but it had to be done humanely. Petro objected to the military transports with underfed and cuffed people in it (same thing Brazil is complaining about). It's also why he sent the presidential plane to pick up migrants in a humane way instead.

After that Trump threw his hissy-fit and threatened tarriffs, Colombia reiterated that it only needs people to be taken care of properly and treated like people, and the US caved to those (imo very reasonable) demands.

Ofc Trump bullshits his way through what should normally be a political humiliation, but here we are.

It won't be done humanely regardless and I have no idea why people think it will. That's my biggest issue here. Trusting a Nazi to keep his word.

Wow, a lot of people emotionally disagree with that quote. You can tell because 30+ down voted and you maybe see 1 of them commenting to take a stance.
Cowards who are afraid of reality deserve no respect.

Maybe... it got all those downvotes because it was a ridiculous thing to post in reply to an article which is simply reporting facts without any bias whatsoever, and posting that comment here in this context appears to be an attempt at discrediting Petro (who is, in fact... a leftist 😱 ...watch out) in response to his standing up to to Trump?

And maybe all those other people downvoting it didn't bother replying because I had already posted my reply (which adequately pointed out the absurdity of it) right after the comment was posted? 🤔

principal skinner out of touch meme, top panel “Wow, a lot of people emotionally disagree with that quote.” bottom panel “Cowards who are afraid of reality deserve no respect.”

Schwarmintelligenz statt Faktenprüfer: Wie funktionieren Community Notes?

Das Fact Checking durch neutrale Faktenprüfer ist nicht mehr en vogue. Nachdem Elon Musk bereits seit Ende 2022 auf sogenannte Community Notes setzt, folgt ihm jetzt auch Meta-Chef Mark Zuckerberg.

Nobody except the US and its vassal states refer to it as America. It's the United States. The Americas are a huge continent of which the US and Canada are but a settler blight in.

The US and (some of) its vassal states also happen to be more or less the only majority English speaking countries in the world, and so get to set the meaning of "America" (singular) when used in English.

With that said, the translation reads "the Americas" (plural) which unambiguously refers to the two continents.

Visited the Toriton Hokkaido sushi restaurant in Shinagawa, where it’s necessary to queue before the restaurant floor opens at 11am, and run (elbows at the ready) to the Toriton entrance to sit any time before mid-afternoon 😂Delicacies included seared salmon and… seminal fluid. Oddly delicious.

A collection of five pictures showing small plates containing two or three pieces of sushi. The top image shows a plate with three sushi pieces, including a roll that seems to be filled with beige tubes. That’s the milt, or seminal fluids.

For #CIBSunday I thought I’d showcase games that fit my mood for 2025. Not exactly cyberpunk but definitely future dystopian. Got it free digitally on PS3 but wanted it physically. Not enough gunplay for my taste but cool concept just the same. #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #mastodongaming

We had some fireworks left from New Years. After some work, painting sills and jambs, and a delicious family supper, we set them off. #CabinLife #Nunavut

Always wanted to play this but could never find it in the arcades. Mine stopped at 2 and had the other pedal game that let you go full auto with a riot shield. Need to keep this in my sites, right next to Time Crisis 4 on PS3 and DJ Hero. #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #retrogaming #mastodongaming

It appears that Labour in the UK has chosen short-termism (prioritizing economic growth) over long tern survival (reducing greenhouse gas emissions). The basic decision to reject taxing the rich tends to lead to a bouquet of short-term optimizations that dump the costs on climate disaster over the next few decades.

Well, i wonder how many Republican homes burnt down and they see now that the guy they voted for doesn't give a damn about them. "Clean your own sh*t up! Don't wait for us, the government you voted for.".
That's my only relief, that they sooner or later see the error of their ways. And it comes through hurt. If for some the cognition comes at the cost of their houses, so be it. No sympathy here.
