Kayinworks - Silksong Loves You
I was, as is my normal way, not on the hype train for Silksong. I wasn't reading updates, I wasn't Silkposting. I wasn't desperately waiting for a release date. I had no emotional stakes in its existe...

Finally done. Definitely a different vibe here than some people, but Silksong is a joy. 😌
I definitely talk about midgame spoilers to some degree, so be warned. Thank you to @trynant.bsky.social and @starrymirai.moe for proofreading.

What Metroid needs is to be more like The Big Bang Theory. I think everyone can agree it's so obvious in retrospect.

Every time I think about Shelob's lair, I think of the Peter Jackson version and I think "god, I hate that part of the book", and then I remember the actual book and how damn good it is and I think "god, I hate Peter Jackson"

Got me imagining a huge ass spider doing a fucking wrestling walk down to the ring. Meanwhile, commentators are like "Steve you're a bit of an expert on this, can you tell us something about the great and terrifying Shelob, the daughter of Ungoliant?"

More LOTR. Got through Shelob's Lair and its so fucking funny how kinda not useful "show, don't tell" is when like the 'reveal' of Shelob is has little to do with how she looks like yeah yeah scary giant spider but check out this SHORT EPIC, TOLD BY AN INVISIBLE NARRATOR*!!

honestly, two consenting US presidents can (and SHOULD) have oral intercourse with each other from time to time. It helps lowering tensions and reduces stress overall.

Retro chose mechanically to focus from Prime 1 onward on developing more arcane kinds of knobs instead of more intimidating holes. Culminating in Miles McKenzie, clearly the greatest of knobs.

My time on ManyVids is ending now that the site is transitioning to an “exit program” for sex workers.
I love my job. I don’t need a savior. I embrace and own my sexuality. Bella French profited off of sex workers for YEARS and is now pretending to be holier than thou. Tale as old as time🖕

If you don't assume it's good & downplay concerns, then who's gonna create FOMO and get people to waste 70 bux on release???

I see some people like "oh no it might be fine though!! Don't be a doomer!! Maybe it's just one segement!" over Metroid Prime 4, and like yeah sure but it's unreleased videogame. There is absolutely no reason or benefit for assuming an unreleased videogame will be good. 😌

"can we please make the game on the assumption that whoever is playing has decided to so" has always got me blank stares at work unforch
it's certainly been frustrating to see devs say more and more "sorry guys but we need to make our games shout out every thing and handhold every last point so that someone who doesn't give a fuck about it can sleepwalk through it"
like why pander to people who, essentially, do not like your work?

Recent example. Meiko has one match in TJPW with Miyu Yamashita in 2017. From that moment Miyu & TJPW instantly transitioned from DDT side project to "real" company. This exact loop plays out with nearly every single company in some way for 2 decades.

The drawing arguments completely fails here because yeah Bad Luck Fale has more Tokyo Dome appearances but that's blindly ignoring anything of substance. What Meiko did for decades in an impossible situation is bigger than many of the biggest draws. You can't tell the story of joshi with Meiko.

It's insane that Meiko Satomura is at 18%. Work aside her importance/influence on joshi wrestling alone. She has guest appearances that legitimized entire companies & built generations of stars that kept the scene from death in an era where men in suits killed their business from the inside. <1/3>
In terms of the female candidates on the ballot and their performance in 2025:
June Byers 58%
Manami Toyota & Toshiyo Yamada 34%
Becky Lynch 28%
Io Shirai/Iyo Sky 24%
Meiko Satomura 18%
Mercedes Mone/Sasha Banks 11%
Trish Stratus 11%

There is still a part of me that things Prime "Killed Metroid".
"Kay you're a weirdo with a weird idea about what Metroid is and your opinion on this aren't realistic or indicative of any real thing anyone else can feel!"
Correct.
