Microsoft and Xbox aren’t just destroying the video game industry. They’re destroying the world. An entity that profits from the eradication of one group will eventually come for us. We need to stand in solidarity and unite against our common enemy. Boycott Xbox.

LETS GOOOO SHINY IRON VALIANT ✨

That’s true, I find it’s now easier to go back and forth on a long path instead of checking the same spot. I’m hunting Iron Valiant and I’m SO glad the cave is humungous enough
