Precept Four: Forget Your Past
The past is painful, and thinking about your past can only bring you misery. Think about something else instead, such as the future, or some food.

This week, Metroid Prime 4 happens. However it turns out, at least the wait will be over and Retro might finally get to work on something that may actually release one day.

Finished Metroid Prime 2 and went to 3 right after the credits. Very curious to see if Corruption really is as good as I remember.
It's definitely a worse Metroidvania than 1&2, but I treasure it as an immersive action game. It's like with Alien and Aliens, both great at what they tried to be.

If I make another video game, it's about an AI Prompter. You click a button to make a Self Worth counter go up and a Global Water Supply go down. Then the Self Worth sign falls off and reveals that it's really the Delusions counter, as the screen is engulfed in flames. It's called "Little Inferno".

Alarm goes off, reminding me to take my waking up medication. I sleepily stumble into the kitchen and take my going to sleep medication. Followed by the correct one once I realized my mistake. This should be interesting.

I just dug through an old Google Drive for some documents and had a major nostalgia hit. Still really proud of this stupid image I made 11 gosh darn years ago. That was a good meme, this Joseph Ducreux guy? Iconic.

Sometimes I consider learning all the ROT ciphers by heart, just so I can bitch about getting spoiled on games I'll never play.

I feel like the WoL is so powerful now, that they have no idea how to write any story at all and have any villain matter without just doing one of two things. Pretending the WoL doesn't exist, or going, oh actually there was this even more most powerful of all time bad guy standing just off screen.

You know that thing that is a homonym of how money gradually loses value? And how people draw images of fictional persons going through that process for the grown-up market?
How do I tell Bluesky that I find this disturbing and don't want to see it if nobody puts mutable tags on these pictures?

You know how Metal Gear and games by Larian or Toby Fox use goofiness to disarm you and then punch you in the gut all the harder?
Maybe that's what they're cooking with Metroid Prime 4.
This is what I tell myself because this my most anticipated game of all time and I have to believe.

I have a tiny YouTube channel that I use as a creative outlet more than anything. If people see it and enjoy it or find a game they might like, that's a bonus.
But now I have scientifically engineered the worst thumbnail ever, one that netted me 12 impressions in 30 hours.
The one before got 3000.

Today, I learned the original name of Fräulein Knüppelkuh.
Maybe it's the nostalgia speaking, but Knüppelkuh mogs Trunchbull any day of the week.

I often think about this quote from one of my favorite books, Matilda: “He simply wouldn’t believe you. Your story would sound too ridiculous to be believed. And that is the Trunchbull’s great secret. Never do anything by halves if you want to get away with it. Be outrageous. Go the whole hog.

Can't say what it is, but I'm working on the localization of a completely serious Fantasy RPG right now, and there's a debuffing spell that causes a real-world life-threatening illness, and that is just incredibly funny to me.

I never actually knew who Oskar Schindler was. I knew he was a notable person in the 3rd Reich.
Naturally, I assumed the worst.
Turns out, he saved 1200 jews by manipulating nazis.
German history classes rightfully center on the horrors, but people like Schindler should be taught about, too.
