A friend said he is excited for the PokΓ©mon Red/Green re-release so he can 'finally gamble again' and I had to remind him he can gamble any time he likes because he's an adult.

Yeah that's also remarkable! I understand why BotW added a jump button later but keeping the experience really grounded is a really interesting constraint.

It's so clever and ambitious, yet has that weird janky feeling of skilled developers exploring the possibilities of interaction in a 3D space for the first time. A mix of stuff that will become foundational to multiple genres and also strange mechanical tangents that give it a unique rhythm.

I know that Majora is the cool one to like but Ocarina is a thing of beauty.

Went to the doctor and they said they searched my game and it looked 'pretty good'. Hoping a high metacritic score will get me better medical attention.

Nobody in my life knows what a Metroidvania is. It's sad. I try and tell them about non-linear progression but they just ask if I'm okay.

I used to have tweetbrain where my thoughts naturally formed into social media posts. I have been away so long I have nothing. I ate a banana today and it was pretty good.

Sorry I have not been so active recently - I have had some health issues and have been on a variety of whacky medications. My mood has been up and down in a way that I have felt uncomfortable sharing with others. I'm sorry!!
