100% so much.

Being anti AI is really nice for the wallet because as more and more big companies bring AI into their "creative" workflow, I just don't buy that product and the money stays in my wallet! (Yeah yeah, I know, this is gonna get real inconvenient when something I actually care about gets AI shoved in)

It's amazing how, despite pretty widespread opposition to AI from... y'know, people... corporations and companies keep dipping into that pool. Either way I have now gone from curious about Divinity to uninterested unless they drop the AI bullshit. (Also don't replace AI with crunch, ya fucks)

Another reason why social media, and especially algorithmic shortform social media, is the worst method I know of for learning about both news that matters *and* the silly video game opinions of people I don't know. The incentive for outrage is massive. The incentive for nuance is non-existent.

Man, I could have sworn TES6 was announced in 2016 around the same time as Prime 4. I guess they just got connected in my head due to them both just being title reveals with nothing to follow for a LONG time.

Then maybe don't announce it a decade ago. 😂 Honestly all this says to me is that TES6 is undergoing VERY troubled development that they are trying to keep a lid on considering Starfield went from announcement release between TES 6's announcement and FIRST TRAILER!

WAKE UP DEAD MAN may be my favorite KNIVES OUT movie. It is wildly ambitious, with Rian Johnson using the structure & pleasures of a locked door mystery to say something about the state of faith in America right now. That something? People should choose mercy & grace instead of rage and vengeance.

I asked that question almost a decade ago but... good on this author for catching up?

I have a lot of nostalgia for the Harry Potter franchise. I was one of those kids who was opened to reading via the Harry Potter books. I have a MASSIVE amount of nostalgia for Harry Potter. That said I STRONGLY second this sentiment. Nostalgia is not as important as people's lives. Fuck JKR.

Supergirl looks fun

Newsom is good on insulting Trump, but pretty much horseshit on just about everything else.

I started working through my backlog with Wolfenstein: The New Order and I might need to revise my "I don't really like First Person Shooters" comment in my Halo 1 video because God dammit I am enjoying the shit out of this game. 😂

Metroid Prime 4 isn't nearly as bad as the naysayers claim, but it would be incorrect to say I didn't leave feeling disappointed.

Protip: Games that use generative A.I. for its "artwork" is allowed to be pirated because the devs are ok with taking other people's work without compensating them.

Outside of the Sol Valley area and the Amiibo bullshit, Metroid Prime 4 really feels like what it probably would have been had Retro gone on and made it right after 3. It has taken ideas that were present in Echoes and Corruption and expanded upon them as opposed to trying to "modernize" the series

TL:DR - Shadow Labrynth is a 7/10 Metroidvania with a 10/10 world and -10/10 pac man mazes.

Well, I guess I'm finishing Shadow Labrynth after Metroid Prime. But as for near end-game thoughts: Shadow Labrynth is a perfectly serviceable Metroidvania. My plan is the 100% it and then never touch it again. The bulk of the game is fine to good, but the Pac-Man mazes are downright awful. (1/4)

I love this goddamn commercial so much. 😂

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

I don't know ow what I expected when I bought this game, but a Namco shared universe was certainly not it.

youtu.be/Rji1KqT-gPs Finally finished that metroid video. Now on to he next one!

trump won two elections because he convinced a shitload of people to vote for him. believing anything else is willful ignorance that will only hurt you.

www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mo... I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people. #morrowind #thomasthetankengine

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Zelda and Calamo sync strike?! Hell yeah!

Alright, I'll play Empire Strikes Back Return of the Jedi A New Hope Revenge of the Sith Rogue One The Last Jedi The Phantom Menace Attack of the Clones The Force Awakens Rise of Skywalker I've never seen Solo

Ok so, let me get this straight. A guy gets fired from the FBI for hanging a pride flag in his office, and on the same day news comes out that swastikas are no longer considered hate symbols and Trump threatens execution for people reminding the military that they can't follow illegal orders.

The president has completely gone off the rails. In response to a message by lawmakers and military professionals letting people know they do not have to carry out illegal orders, Trump said they should be put to death.

In the span of 2 hours Leavitt said reporters should be “grateful” Trump insults them to their faces. Trump called for the execution of 6 Democratic members of Congress. The Coast Guard said it won’t consider swastikas, nooses & confederate flags hate symbols anymore. Things are unraveling fast.

Today is a pretty good reminder of why No Kings and such is so off-putting to me: it's because liberals have learned so little, and so many of them think this is simply a path "back to normal." and any attempt at showing them the deep rot of their political beliefs ends in "fuck you commie"

What's extra crap about it NOW is that in the age of the attention economy, there are all kinds of financial incentives for content creators to act this way and inspire their audience to do the same, and some of them don't even realize they've been trained to do it.

But listen. If you're more than a few years past high school and you're *still* regularly making yourself miserable by hate-watching/playing/listening/whatever things that are supposed to entertain you instead of doing literally anything better with your time, *please* grow the heck up.

The level to which Metroid fans are freaking out about this guy is endlessly entertaining to me. Does he portend a potential disaster down the road for us fans of the Metroid atmosphere? Absolutely. Is there reason for concern? Yup. But we have seen tons of footage of this game looking great (1/2)

Every time I think about Metroid Prime: Hunters, I see it as this kinda bad cash grab handheld game trying to cash in on the popular Metroid Prime brand. And then eventually I replay it and I remember "Oh no, wait, this is actually a pretty good game that was put on ABSOLUTELY the wrong hardware."

Trans rights are human rights. This isn't complicated.

This concept is often hard for devs to grasp too, not just players. I put it as "the joy of doing" vs. "the joy of being". Why does some grind or hard challenge feel joyful in game A, but a chore in game B? You enjoy *existing* in game A. The "thing to do" serves that joy. Pet the dog. Enjoy being

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel. We have to be SHARP on the left right now.

At a job I had where I was ASM, we were "always" hiring, and on top of that the hiring process was almost fully automated. There were multiple times people would show up for interviews for job openings that simply didn't exist.

The question is: can I 100% Hunters before Prime 4 releases?

Im not keyed into what MTG is up to other than they she has pissed off Trump enough to get him do un-endorse her. But let's not forget that she is a white nationalist Q-anon weirdo who had made multiple appearances on Infowars and claimed Jewish space lasers were starting forest fires.

You know. Shit like this kinda gives up the game. If they ACTUALLY thought Kat was a "Jihadist" they would be way too scared to give her a dumbfuck "care package". Because, y'know, the implication here is that she's a terrorist who works with the kind of people who flew planes into the twin towers.

I like the costumes but I remain skeptical of a live action Zelda movie. Even Twilight Princess was stylized, and I'm not sold on the look of Zelda translating to live action. And my biggest worry is that it simply won't and the Zelda movie will just end up being a generic fantasy film.

Just watched Godzilla: Minus One with my friend @thatsimmerteresa.bsky.social. The plan is coming together. Soon ALL my friends will be Godzilla fans. ALL OF THEM! MAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

God dammit. Turns out Marty O'Donnell sucks.

I am really bad at understanding lyrics in music, and I never thought to look up the lyrics to this song from Shin Godzilla so I only recently stumbled upon this video and not I can't stop thinking about that scene and how fucking good this movie is.

The Magic of Metroid Prime is officially going to be the longest video on my channel and still have 3 pages of script to record. 😅

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.
