my Discourse Take is that i also dislike talkative metroid man, but games have been inundated with yapper sidekicks for ages, so it coming for Metroid isn't overly shocking. i still got enough Vibes and Atmosphere and Exploration to feel like it hasn't spoiled the stew yet.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

Goodnight Universe stumbles a bit, but i really enjoyed seeing how this team continues to play around with the webcam as a controller. not sure this one will embed in my brain the way Before Your Eyes did, but i had a good time with it nonetheless.
Goodnight Universe is a wonderful exploration of what's still possible with a simple webcam.
