Chump change for some, but this is very important for me! For my latest essay, I made a conscious effort to focus on positivity and my own excitement for Metroid Prime 4 rather than trying to pick apart and yell about the criticism i thought was overblown. Maybe i would have gotten even more

Played Star Wars Outlaws' DLC. Kay & Nix continue to be a delight and a pair I will miss along with ND-5. Each environment is as authentic to the franchise as it can be. The feeling of the blaster and each shooting gallery was enjoyable. Shame they won't continue these characters' stories.

If y’all think having an NPC talk excessively or hold your hand too much is a complete disservice to the #Metroid franchise and will completely ruin the experience of #MeteoidPrime4, sit down while I tell you about Metroid Fusion, famously loathed by critics and fans alike

Metroid Prime 3 is old enough to vote, so you'd be forgiven for forgetting some of the story of the original trilogy - if you experienced it at all. Don't worry, I've got you covered. Let’s get caught up before #MetroidPrime4 !!

Outlaws was my #6 game from last year — LOVED my time with it. In my Top 10 video i mention how the toxic corner of the gaming sphere was complaining about Kay’s attractiveness. Someone tried to come in my comments about that and I wasn’t having it 😂
