Too many games, not enough time. That's the true human struggle.
Even as someone who very much disliked Prime 4, this is sad. Tanabe is listed as producer in some of Nintendo's best titles, beyond the Paper Mario and Metroid Prime series: Mother 3, Chibi-Robo, Brawl, Tropical Freeze, WarioWare Gold, etc.
A bona fide industry icon.

Watch TPCI release all this anniversary merchandise for their precious first generation, but still no classic mainline titles on Switch. Just watch.

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

For me, it's clearly Princess Mononoke. It was the first movie that made me cry, and to this day I cannot pinpoint why. Maybe it was the music, maybe its characters or maybe the story. They all work together wonderfully, creating such a beautiful movie.

here's is my Prime 4 review (beware of spoilers). Like I said at the end, it's a mediocre title. For any other series, it could be serviceable, but for a Metroid game, it must be better than this

since I've been travelling for the past 10 days, I forgot to share the full list of every single game I finished in 2025. I'm pretty content with what I played overall, but I wish I had played more retro stuff (especially quintessential franchises I have yet to try, like Castlevania or Mega Man)

Happy New Year from Italy!
2025 was a rollercoaster: many ups and many, many downs. Thankfully, my nerdy interests were always there for me. I'm positive that 2026 will be better

…. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. Beyond disappointed. (Pun intended, I'm a funny guy).
In the coming days I'll write a Backloggd review going more in depth as to why I disliked it, but holy shit, 8 years just for that.
