Finished Metroid Prime 4 today - mechanically very solid IMO, probably my favorite systems since prime 1. Needed to tone down the "assist" feature frequency but that's pretty common these days. Narratively, too many asspulls IMO and the last 5 min feels so out of character as to be unbelievable.
I finally bought a switch 2 but this has not stopped new games from releasing for some reason, so now I just have a bigger backlog 😩
How do we make the world a better place when only the most selfish people alive are in charge of everything?
Beginning of the end for Discord I guess. Wonder what we'll start using next, I'm never going to scan my face so an app will let me hang out with my friends.

I think the internet has done a weird thing where it has made everyone expect everything to be free? And the people who make things still deserve to be paid. Paying for good things to keep existing is a decent thing to do.
Hi there, I would like to talk about paywalls Today I had a rather large article drop in Slate and there was a soft paywall. A lot of people commented upset about that paywall Let's talk about: a) how to get around paywalls b) why you shouldn't be mad about them

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
I'm finding the current season of Arc Raiders to have been very poorly designed - they put three expedition materials on only one map that are rare spawns in only a couple areas. It's the map folks who didn't want sweaty PvP always avoids already so it's just punishing you for not doing murders :\
begging the media to understand that public services are not businesses and that they should not report that they lose money since that is an intrinsic part of any public service. they cost money, they don’t lose it. that is how public services are designed.
