The selfish part of me wants Zion to stay at NL forever - he has brightened every single day, and is one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met!
I just know that he’s going to smash what comes next, and I’ll be so very proud watching him do so!!
Go kill it, dude, I miss you already 🫶

After nearly 7 years working with the team at Nintendo Life, I'm stepping away to try something new ✨
I'll miss my colleagues, this community, and the freedom that Nintendo Life gave me to cover whatever I found important. It's truly been a dream come true, so thank you ♥

(shock, this one rules!)
Back in 2022, I bought as many copies of Mario Paint as I could get my paws on 😅Not because I thought they’d become rare or pricey, but for the original artwork that may be lying dormant inside each and every one 🎨
Three years later and that mission is complete 🍄 youtu.be/aHuQZVtzdIo 🍄 #MarioPaint

If it wasn’t clear already, it’s tough running games media sites at the moment.
That said, I’m immensely proud of what we’ve built at @hookshot.media over the past decade, and we remain (majority) independently owned.

uh oh, Craig's got me very VERY excited for this one
I couldn’t tell you the exact moment Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 became my all-time fave turn-based RPG - but after 50 hours, a broken heart, and more belly laughs than I could count, I want to wipe my memory and play it all over again.
