Went to the doctor and they said they searched my game and it looked 'pretty good'. Hoping a high metacritic score will get me better medical attention.

Nobody in my life knows what a Metroidvania is. It's sad. I try and tell them about non-linear progression but they just ask if I'm okay.

I used to have tweetbrain where my thoughts naturally formed into social media posts. I have been away so long I have nothing. I ate a banana today and it was pretty good.

Sorry I have not been so active recently - I have had some health issues and have been on a variety of whacky medications. My mood has been up and down in a way that I have felt uncomfortable sharing with others. I'm sorry!!

I was close
what I'm saying is the new Metroid Prime should have a flying motorbike. Something that makes you go 'ah so that's the new thing in this one'

Feel like Grapple Dog 1 is gaining more of an audience as it gets included in bundles and goes on deeper sale. Keep seeing people finding it for the first time. What's weird is there's a lot of folks going 'this game has issues!' and I agree I fixed them in the sequel that is also out.
