Metroid Fusion is just #Alien Resurrection if it wasn't a comedy film.
An absolute classic, and a revolutionary Metroid title that solidified the gameplay mechanics of the rest of the Metroid series.
Samus talks a lot in this one, but I'm not complaining. It's a lot of good internal monologue.

I have fully 100%ed Super Mario 3D All-Stars.
It took me roughly 17 days to complete, which feels ridiculously short for three whole games, one of which is played twice.
I didn't think I would beat these three back to back within less than a full month.

Seems like #GameStop stores all across the US are closing down with mass layoffs.
I am not surprised, especially when GameStop had already sold off their Canadian branch (welcome back, EB Games) not too long ago.

Played the Frosty Fest with @amphy516.bsky.social today. For the shits and giggles, we decided to test out the Switch 2 GameChat.
This is the first time I used the C button for its intended purpose.
Gotta say, it was a painless setup, and starting a call was very fast, unlike PS5 Discord.

Seems like the Bluesky ratings on Google Play are improving steadily.
I think this further reinforces my belief that the app was intentionally review bombed.
People chose to rate this with 1 star, then write a review highlighting minor issues as if it was justification.

I recently had to block an IGN journalist. Not because they were toxic or anything, but because they held a position at IGN that influences a lot of what gets published, and frankly a lot of stuff that comes out of IGN is not very good.

I have a bit of speculation for why Nintendo chose to only colour the insides and the rim.
One of the problems Nintendo has CONSISTENTLY faced with all of their consoles is overcoming the misunderstanding of a successor.
The SNES to NES, the GBA to GB, the 3DS to DS, the Wii U to Wii.

Well deserved. Not a rigged contest. Not a stupidly biased jury. Not running on terrible technicalities.
Fair, diverse, and representative of what people enjoy. Niche representation and no unnecessary landslides.

The review bombings of Bluesky on Google Play seem to be slowing down.
It was previously at an average of 1.9 stars.
Some of the 1 star criticisms are genuine, but seriously? People need to lighten up and acknowledge some of the food sides of the platform. Those issues are not 1-star worthy.

One of the gifts I've received for Christmas (a month early) was Super Mario 3D All-Stars.
I initially did not buy this game because I have all three original versions of these games.
However, I had the sudden urge to sit through each of these games and 100% them all.
In just 2 days, I did SM64.

#Samsung Gaming Hub is becoming progressively worse as time goes on.
The starting page no longer displays all of your games.
Instead, you have to painstakingly tap on the top right or scroll down through numerous ads until you've found games that aren't listed at the top, alongside advertisements.

Yesterday, I fully completed #Metroid Prime 4, getting 100% twice over on Normal and Hard difficulties.
This is a rather short game that relys on repeated playthroughs of the game, like many other Metroid titles.
Waited 18 years since Corruption, 8 years since announcement, 6 years since restart.

The more I think about it, the more I begin to realize that Prime 4 is just Skyward Sword with a Metroid coat of paint.
If Bandai Namco Singapore was trying to make a 3D Zelda game... maybe Nintendo should have just repurposed this into a Zelda game and let Retro truly start from the ground up.

So it sounds like Retro didn’t get to build Prime 4 from the ground up and had to rework a good amount of the scrapped build
That explains a lot of the game’s clunky elements and gives me hope for Prime 5 cause now they’ll be able to start from ground zero with their own vision

There are multiple instances in #Metroid Prime 4: Beyond where specifically going from Fury Green to Sol Valley results in an unusually long load time. This doesn't occur in any other location, not even in the opposite direction.
In my case, it's on Nintendo Switch 2 Edition on a Game Card.

I watched MegaLag's second Honey video and I gotta say, this has truly been an eye opener.
This is something the EU and California would get involved in if they knew what was happening.
The craziest part? There's a PART 3 coming out. There's so much more to investigate in this matter.

#Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is officially the first Metroid game I have 100%ed, and the sixth I have completed overall.
This game doesn't really blow me away. It's pretty much what happens when you combine Metroid Prime with Ocarina of Time.

On the flipside, it feels like Nintendo has finally nailed - through brute forced overly engineered design - not getting drift on potentiometer sticks.
Well, at least in the foreseeable future. In Switch 2 Welcome Tour, they explained how the sticks were made compared to Switch 1.

One of the two DualSense controllers that came with my PlayStation 5 is now drifting badly to the point where deadzone adjustments no longer help.
It's actually drifting much worse than my Switch Pro Controller, and that I've had since late 2018, whereas I've only had the DualSense since late 2022.

I've been getting some posts recently complaining about the lack of interaction on Bluesky, and I've kinda noticed it too.
I also noticed that some people who dual post here and Twitter or Threads often never respond to comments made on their Bluesky versions.

I will just copy and paste from Discord what I've said about The Game Awards.
I think the problem is in the show and the jury itself. There's a rampant issue of gameplay and Hollywood bias that seems to always be the instant winners.
