I dunno, I just don't think this new NPC character in Metroid Prime 4 feels in keeping with the spirit of the series

Absolutely dizzying. Forever grateful that we've had such a passionate response over the past couple of years to our weird (and hopefully wonderful) game!
We're so thrilled to be able to announce that Cassette Beasts has sold over *1.1 MILLION units*!
We started out as a tiny team hoping we might be lucky enough to sell even a fraction of that - for every share, review, or positive comment, we really can't thank all of you enough. 💜

I think there's some solid obvious answers to this question but there's one in recent years I always end up thinking about

Always been interesting to me that Stardew Valley, a game with a real thread of strange folk horror weirdness running through it, inspired a generation of indie games that only emulated the surface level aesthetic and nothing deeper

Games shouldn't cost $100. Games should in fact cost £2, come on a cassette tape, only run on a 20kg computer that you could only buy in Britain in the 1980s, and be made over the course of six months by two 19 year-olds known only as "The Whizzy Brothers".

Watching Celebrity Traitors UK and getting wound up at Stephen Fry saying, "As the greatest detective of all time, Sherlock Holmes, once said-"
Sherlock Holmes isn't real. You can't do that. It's like saying the greatest long distance runner of all time is Sonic the hedgehog.
