There are people reading this (at times myself included likely) that don’t even realize they’re the ones that need to read this

Hey, happiest of birthdays, though! I’m glad they mentioned it, and I’m glad you mentioned it ❤️🎂

Yeah, a lot of my personal complaints compared to Scarlet/Violet and Legends Arceus (scaling down region size; reduced traversal/exploration mechanics, etc.) likely relate to wanting to keep the game running smoothly on Switch 1. I get it, but I disagree with the choice

(also, I hope it goes without saying, I am not talking about the people who expressed those critiques in a super toxic way 🤣❤️)

(within the context of Pokémon, I think the dialogue everyone had about the performance of Scarlet/Violet is a big part of why they made sure ZA runs as solidly as it does, so I think that’s a clear example of how critique can help and be necessary)

It’s something I’ve questioned myself on a lot over the years on social media. I think it’s normal to have a twinge of negativity when someone you like disagrees with you, but I don’t actually think it’s a bad thing. I think a diversity of opinion/thought advances us all when we communicate openly.

I had a very similar response to Crossworlds. MKW is absolutely a great game, but Crossworlds is typically closer to the vibe I am looking for when I sit down to play a kart racing game.

Personally, I think it’s important to criticize the things we love, but a lot of people prioritize avoiding discomfort/disagreement above anything
November 9, 2025 at 5:29 PM
I’m in complete agreement lol

My recollection is that it came out on an Easter weekend? I recall it was a small kerfuffle within my family that I chose to leave holiday festivities to go see a film(s) like Grindhouse with my friends 🤩 (I am A FAN of both features)

I completely agree with this statement. In fact, that’s kinda how I feel about most of the record 🤩

Omg I’ve done lyrics from this song too! (Not the one you’d think! 🤣)
