Looking at my Steam Replay and remembering that one "If you play more than one game a year you're in the top 3% of gamers" or whatever article.

Been said before, but Pokémon ZA has so many NPCs that are Going Through Things it’s really wild.

They don't.

And that’s credits on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

I have…complicated feelings about this one, but overall it falls squarely in my “I’m always going to be harshest to a 7-out-of-10 game” range.

I'll explain more when production genuinely begins in January, but until then, here's a piece of...I guess you'd call it "concept art" I made. You might recognize a WIP version of this I posted a few months ago.

New project! Get excited!

It’s just beautiful, man.

This new Mario Kart update is fucking awesome!!

Oh, okay.

Mission 1 of Age of Imprisonment: “Wow, this camp supply system is so intricate! I’ll need to experiment and really theory craft to get the most out of each battle!”

Mission 20 or so:

I hate my brain's ability to associate things, sometimes.

Hey everyone.

So, this is really difficult. I...have some things I need to finally be honest about.

A little over a year ago, I released my first commercial #indiegame, New Meat. As much as I've been trying to hide it and act positive, what's followed has been...demoralizing.

A post-mortem.

Man, remember how The Inventory was going to be a whole franchise after those Poker Night games?

I was…really excited for that.

Even a couple years later, I stand by everything I said when I made TotK my Game of the Year back in 2023.

It’s the best open-world game ever made. Just as true now as it was then.

You know, despite it being one of my favorite games that I’ve put tons of hours into, I’d never actually beaten Tears of the Kingdom.

Until tonight.

Everyone freaking out about that nerdy scientist in Metroid Prime 4 needs to stop worrying. I was able to play the hands-on demo a bit further and can confirm Samus gets different companions later on.

I hope Miles McKenzie has a hilarious catchphrase, like “Say WHAT, now?” or “Boy, I’m gonna feel THAT in the morning!”

And then in Season 6 he builds himself a robot girlfriend.

I don’t know how a Metroid game has a Season 6 but Miles McKenzie makes it happen.
