Metroid II is my all-time favorite game in the series. It introduces her ship, introduces her iconic look, and is the last game in the series to not include the “break this with this item” blocks. I just love everything about that game.

Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu
FYI we got this game when we we got our Switch and it sat, untouched, for YEARS, until I finally picked it up a few months ago. Honestly, I REALLY enjoyed it! BUT… the first 30 minutes to an hour are very poorly done, and are soooo boring. After that it hooked me.
As someone who’s favorite game in the series is the original Pokémon Red, I think this remake was quite well done. It looks great (much better than Sword / Shield in my opinion), and really trims out a lot of the fluff and grind of the classic games.
Also if he’s playing, you can use the second controller to join him and casually help him catch and battle Pokémon. It’s cute. :)
Let me know if you want any more in depth review or info.
Favorite character is Midna from Twilight Princess. Her design is just so weird but it works. She antagonistic towards the player but I can’t help but love her. Your friendship grows throughout the game until that one incredible shot together. And the surprise ending is both fun and tragic.
EDIT: this shot.

Favorite relationship is Marin from Link’s Awakening. She’s wonderful on her own, but then she shares so much about her life on the island and her dreams and grows even deeper as a character. I feel a stronger bond between her and Link than any incarnation of Zelda.
I recently discovered IsabelleChiming and I am in love. They do remakes of classic gaming soundtracks.

…and I wrote the soundtrack to the recent Game Boy Color homebrew game, Dangan GB2, if you’re interested… 👀

I can’t see the name Apogee without hearing the fanfare.
I miss Wacky Wheels.
Holy cow you put a TON of effort into this! I actually JUST finished playing through DKC3 for the first time. It’s amazing how many non-fun stages there are right at the end.
The stage that I have the least fond memories of was climbing up a cliff side waterfall by jumping on top of floating barrels? Ugh, it took me FOREVER. XD
Does RSC have end to end encryption? Is it on by default?
I came here to say the original NES Metroid game! Metroids still terrify me. 😆
But yeah, Metroid Fusion was so scary it caused me to take a three year break before I could finish it. 😅

It’s from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, if anyone else was as confused as I was. 😅
Quest for Camelot
Oh, interesting! It’s a top down Zelda-like action adventure game. It’s actually not too bad! It’s also one of the most common, absolute cheapest GBC cartridges you can buy. 😅
Played 8 hours last night so this is a very early impression
HOLY CRAP it takes like 25 minutes to play through DuckTales on the NES, I guess I’m not used to modern games. 😆
Anyway, thanks for the great write-up!

The actual original comic strip is pretty funny. :)
I always find it fascinating when they have to make a trailer for an incredibly violent video game but still have it be approved for general audiences. It has to be edited to perfection, down to the frame, to show violence without any of the violence. 😅
To anyone reading this article, only the first quarter of it is about the beliefs and political stance of the developers. The rest of the article after that goes into more technical reasons.
It was years after the Switch came out that I finally decided to get one, and honestly the one game that combined me to get it was Link’s Awakening. I love that game so much!
Over the years, I ended up spending the most time playing Animal Crossing. I beat Mario Odyssey and it was nice. I really could not get into Breath of the Wild at all, or the sequel.
“Please don’t have floaty physics, please don’t have floaty physics…”

…I still can’t tell. 😅
I’m curious how they can do 4 player co-op in a game about speed. It kinda looks like they slow it down but make it sort of feel faster than it actually is?
Anyway, my family loves these kind of games, like Rayman Legends, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Super Mario 3D World. I hope the reviews are good!
I migrated to ProtonMail out of curiosity after more than a decade, but when they turned over the IP address of a fucking CLIMATE ACTIVIST to police, I decided to halt that process
Are you referring to this?
Notable cases involving Swiss court orders include a case involving death threats made against well-known immunologist Anthony Fauci and a case against French climate activists. After these cases, in October 2021, Proton Mail won an important Swiss court victory that confirmed that email services cannot be considered telecommunications providers, and consequently are not subject to the data retention requirements imposed on telecommunications providers.

It sounds like they followed Swiss law and then worked to update the laws to prevent it from happening again, all while never sharing the contents of any emails (which they can’t because they’re encrypted).
On the Game Boy Advance, there’s Punch King…

…and Wade Hixton’s Counter Punch.

I haven’t played either of them, so no promises that they’re good!
