I only just discovered that YT channel emails don't show up on mobile anymore??? This whole time I've been getting boiled how many potential collaborators don't have contact info, just to realize this arbitrary change. I've had to invite people through comments damn it.

I'm pretty chill with OOT's new visuals. Similar to Star Fox, it'll set itself apart and in this case is less jarring. We always have the original to re-experience the old art style.

Pacific time guide to watching the Nintendo direct:

1. Don't wake up for it.

2. Don't go on socials until you watch.

3. Watch at 2x speed or just skip the JRPGS you're not interested in (all of them).

4. Post on social about how everyone is wrong about how good/bad the direct is.

One of the showcased remasters included Warhammer 27,844. This entry focuses on the Space Marines attempting to defeat the Tyranids in a card game.

Star Fox Command is now 20 years old, which means it now has a 20 year streak for being the most underrated Star Fox game.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one, I was surprised by how much strain my thumb felt on the pro controller from shooting. Not sure why I don't get fatigued on N64, do I dare try to use the NSO controller with modern Star Fox?
StarFox is a classic of the genre, and the new remake has been a nice excuse to get back into it.

I had to stop this morning, however, because it was getting physically painful tapping the fire button so frequently. Frustrating that there are many free buttons, but no option for turbo shot, etc.

I've made the definitive decision that r/indiegames is the best subreddit and I will be taking questions. My steam wishlist is filling up from all the really cool concepts people are sharing. It's so plainly obvious that indie games are the future and AAA needs to take notes fast.

I did not pace myself playing Star Fox Zero for the first time tonight on a stomach full of pizza. I will take it one stage at a time next session.

Some people tell me I have impostor syndrome and I'm like bro, I'm not even talented enough to have impostor syndrome.

I'm in a full Deadlock phase again. I've never been good at it, so I've started tabing out to edit videos while waiting for the death timer to finish.

The problem is that I'm finally getting better, and I'm not dying as much. So I'm falling behind, how do I stop this??? Can I just play worse???

I'll be honest, I'm not super onboard with the realistic looking Star Fox team. However, I always respect when a series has a title that's not afraid to get weird with it. Despite this being the 65th remake, the character art style will definitely give it a unique identity.

A bit of a gamer self-report: As I get older, I find myself muting my teammates very quick, and I don't think I'm in the right for doing so. I've just gone further down the route of "I'm just trying to game before bed man" and I wish I cared more that I'm detrimental to the team without comms.
