I already have thoughts on Metroid Prime 4, but I owe it to the game to play more than 5 hours before I commit to any of them. Suffice it to say I see a lot of elements that have the potential to develop into real strengths, and how good of a game it is largely depends on whether or not they do.

It's finally time! This is possibly my most personally anticipated game of the year and I can't wait to get into it.

First time hosting Thanksgiving at our house was a pretty good success, if I do say so myself. Main thing I'd like to work on next time is timing, to make sure everything is still hot at the same time. But everything tasted good so I'm not mad.

3) Have a tool box / place for basic tools
4) Perform recommended maintenance on appliances
5) Do “Spring cleaning”
Quote it.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

Since I've already been commenting about it, I might as well make my own little thread of thoughts. I saw Wicked: For Good this weekend and, well... I will say I liked it. But it's hard not to feel more than a little underwhelmed when compared to the first film.

Recently I've been going against Houndmaster in DBD much more often than before. I'd say, anecdotally with only myself as a data point, both Houndmaster and Vecna are up in usage, and Dracula and Ghoul are down. Dunno if anyone else.

Jin had his, now Atsu's got hers and is taking a well-deserved rest. We got the Ghost of Yotei Platinum today, and not I put this excellent game down to move on to the next thing. (until a DLC comes along...)

Welp, that's a wrap on Pokémon Legends: Z-A streams. We beat the game, caught the legendaries, and had a great time. I'll still be playing more, but since the rest is a lot of grinding, that'll be happening off-stream so we can move on to other things. Thanks everyone who came along for the journey!
