low 80s vs 90 for Corruption is a big drop. Not saying the game is bad, but clearly Retro made some choices that didn't vibe with a lot of people.

I say this to myself too, except I'm naturally lazy and if I didn't push myself a little bit forward I'd get nothing done.

Okay, back to writing.

Another MASSIVE missed opportunity is that there isn't a Dark Luminoth fight in the game. It was planned but never implemented. I had a dream where it was an optional battle hiding a special map station that gave you collectible locations, like they did for Prime 3.

I did something very similar when I went to Japan many years ago! I bought a similar umbrella in Ikebukuro and eventually it ended up in Lisbon... but I forgot it in the airport a few months later (I used to used that metro station because my dad worked there).

ok, so this image is just not showing on my screen. Huh.

THE IMAGE OF THE POWER BOMB GUARDIAN DIDN'T SHOW, MY POST IS RUINED.

I think it's very telling that I had to use save states to not go insane trying to defeat the Spider Guardian, whereas the Power Bomb Guardian was a first try victory without even losing that much health. These bosses were NOT balanced properly, good golly.

Like, literally, why tf do these things even have midi input if they don't parse note duration. What's the point when you can just use a keyboard FOR THE EXACT SAME BEHAVIOR.
