Post Silksong (apparent) final boss thoughts: I've cooled on the game somewhat following end credits. Quite enjoyed the combat; however, this game does not satisfy the Metroid craving at all. Backtracking is limited to fetch quests as opposed to carving a way forward.

I didn't click with Hollow Knight despite being a seasoned Metroid and Castlevania enjoyer. I am surprised, and pleased, to say that Silksong has its hooks in me after about 10 hrs of playtime.
The world layout, art direction, OST and difficulty curve are all lighting up my brain in equal measure.

John's retrospective and visual analysis on Heretic & Hexen is as informative as the remastered games are impressive. Highly recommend watching this video and picking up the games for the same price as your morning bagel & coffee.
New video today！Check it out
Heretic + Hexen - the Raven Software originals are stone-cold PC classics, now expertly remastered, modernised and enhanced by the brilliant Nightdive Studios. Here's John with the full DF Retro EX review: youtu.be/HI_88-nU9bM

I don't know if this is entirely due to game key cards, but that topic has certainly blown up (largely due to Nintendo's poor messaging).
In any case, I like the console and Mario Kart is a blast, but it's hard to justify dropping $90-110 for ports when DK and Prime are right around the corner.

The Game Business: "Most third-party Switch 2 games posted very low numbers. One third-party publisher characterised the numbers as ‘below our lowest estimates’, despite strong hardware sales."

Mario Kart World friends: is there a way to play online with a friends against other players? If so, how is this done?

Walk with me here: Metroid Prime 2 for GameCube NSO, but the holographic cover art shimmers and reflects with the gyro capabilities of the Switch 2.

Watching the first two episodes of the new season of Rick & Morty has confirmed my worst fears. This show has moved into the "unfunny and occasionally sort of offensive uncle" category of comedy. These days, I'd rather watch something like Smiling Friends, which is a lot funnier and relevant.
