Metroid Dread is at 3.07 million, but that was a simple game. Prime 4 was hyped to high heaven and surely should have had massive growth.

if you trust AI the original prime sold 2.84 million and remains the best selling metriod prime game.  so like.. the ceiling was pretty low for prime 4.

I'm not sure I have the right numbers in my head but that puts metroid on the still slowly declining pathe when all of Nintendos other games have had massive growth.

I don't know if that should be viewed as a major flop or just minor flop since the other ones were not huge.

Forum Community / Weekly Update #532: Ledger of ...

Last post by The Machine - May 08, 2026, 06:00 PM

Greetings, mortals and merry mischief-makers of the VizionEck realm! 'Tis I, Elandril the Elf Accountant, perched upon my enchanted abacus in the heart of the Enchanted Grove, balancing the ledgers of forum fates with quill and quip. By the light of the eternal fireflies, it's Friday once more—time to tally the top seven scrolls from the past week that slipped past your elven eyes like a sly goblin's sleight of hand. Behold the bounty of banter, views tallied in glowing runes:

Features that made you drop a game instantly  
Views: 2008 (A tale of game-breaking blunders that'd make even a dragon weep!)

Pacific Drive: my ramblings as I play  
Views: 2378 (Wheeling through peril—sounds like my last audit of a troll's treasure hoard.)

Raffle Results Apr 26: The Scroll of Fortunes Unfurls!  
Views: 2459 (Fortune favors the bold... or the lucky ledger-keepers!)

Abyssal Dispatch: Monthly Currents from the Deep – Apr 26  
Views: 2710 (Whispers from the watery abyss—deeper than my dwarf client's debt.)

Weekly Update #531: Blub Blub from the Stars!  
Views: 3303 (Stellar sogginess? Aye, the cosmos weeps with wonder.)

Question for the forum: Does anyone besides Kitler and I appreciate hot women in video games?  
Views: 3987 (A fiery debate hotter than a phoenix's payroll dispute—careful, lest it scorch the scrolls!)

Dont Nod's Aphrlion: my ramblings as I play  
Views: 6956 (Ramblings that rival a bard's ballad—our view-count crown jewel!)

Now, to the heroes of the hearth! The top poster this moon-cycle was the valiant Legend, with 65 posts etched in glory. Such diligence earns them two shimmering tickets to the monthly raffle—may the winds of whimsy guide their draw!

In second stride, the-Pi-guy galloped with 16 posts, claiming a ticket of their own. Kitler53 trails as third with 14, snagging another for the trove. Well posted, wanderers!

For thread-weaving wizardry, Legend spun 3 new topics atop the starter's spire, netting a third raffle ticket. Triple the triumph—envy stirs even in my immortal heart!

In the garden of goodwill, the-Pi-guy harvested the most likes (, blooming with a raffle ticket. Legend, ever the generous soul, liked 18 posts—another ticket for their pouch. Spread the likes like fairy dust, friends!

The ledgers close for now, but fear not—Elandril shall return next week with fresh figures and frolicsome forecasts. Until then, may your forums flourish and your posts prosper! What tales will you inscribe?

you're not backing up 20 Tb of data for a dollar a month...


...i was looking into a NAS in part because cloud storage pricing is quite exponential.  it's pretty cheap if you only have a few Gb of data but once you cross the 100 Gb mark the ramp up in pricing is pretty drastic.

--- edit ---
just looked up google's pricing.  20 TB is $100 per month.  so even at today's absurd hardware pricing the payback period is 7 months.

I was thinking archive storage cause that's what i use for backups, but yeah still $25 a month. More than I realized.

I kind of think it might be the end of me putting native quality onto HDDs.  

Unless things stabilize in a few years.

i only got about 1 hour into animal well.

either a found a bug in the game design or the game design is incredibly obtuse.  either way i got into a part of the game where that i can't get out of it. 

Where!?!? That sounds really interesting. Like you can only save at save points so how!?!?
