No preview from me (I’m on vacation) but I also played that Metroid Prime 4 demo. I was also annoyed by that Rick Moranis guy (and told the team this even tho it’s too late to change anything lol)

i played Metroid Prime 4 last week. i liked a lot of what i saw, but there’s one element of the game that worries me mashable.com/article/metr...
'Metroid Prime 4' looks and feels great, but I'm nervous about one little thing
The first 'Metroid Prime' game in nearly two decades is as exciting a prospect as ever, but after playing it, I have questions.

Literally a decade ago I flew out to Seattle to see Steam Machines for the first time for PCMag. We love a full circle, don’t we folks.
Valve is reviving the Steam Machine in a new mini PC that looks poised to rival game consoles. The company also teased the Steam Frame, a follow-up to the Valve Index VR headset, along with an updated Steam Controller.

You, a child: “oh cool, they cast Brie Larson because she’s a Nintendo fan”

Me, a serious author: “Rosalina recalls not only Captain Marvel’s cosmic might but perhaps, more importantly, Larson’s tragic maternal grace in her Oscar-winning turn in Lenny Abrahamson’s 2015 survival drama Room”
Now more than ever, look forward to my Super Mario Galaxy book coming next year from @bossfightbooks.com

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.
