Oh, you rat bastards changed the profil name so it looks the same as [Twitter/X Mirror] when it's truncated. I respect this immensely.

Zero Mission is fantastic. I do recommend trying out Metroid NES, but don't worry if you bounce off of it. It is the Demon's Souls of its day.
Another Metroid 2 Remake is also a great way to experience that portion of the timeline, since GB may not be super appealing to you whippersnappers.

True, I never once chortled coming up with a Dragon Quest-level pun for a monster, or sung a translation along to the music to check its rhythm. No whimsy.
I hate it when I shed a single tear translating a game's emotional climax.
Ugh. I wish I wrote prompts all day, that would mean something.

"You're staring at the watch again."
"Yeah, just checking what you said 10 seconds ago."
"Weren't you listening?"
"Yeah, sorry, no, I was checking what you said 10 seconds before that."

I spent most of my work hours in 2025 fixing AI translations in video games; I got paid more the more I had to edit, and the AI had been getting so much worse that I made more money proofreading a game than I would have translating it. And don't get me started on songs, puns, and puzzles. Unusable.

Everyone should have a thick Franconian accent, as Miyamoto originally intended (look it up).
Not a single R will be left unrolled and every plosive shall be voiced. Oggarrrina of Dime is before us.
