I co-sign most of this review. I'd add that the motorcycle is fun and exciting, although it feels underutilized. The different areas are aesthetically elite but feel like a step down in design intricacy. The best mechanics and elemental powers are remixed from Prime 1, which was recently remastered.
After taking his time to explore Viewros, have some heart to hearts with Myles MacKenzie, and fine a whole bunch of collectibles, @jtsknight92.bsky.social is ready to give his thoughts on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/73696...

We guaranteed their security in the early 90s so that Ukraine would give up their nukes. Then, the U.S. allowed Russia to invade and steal territory from Ukraine twice without providing a forceful military response.
So, what are we actually guaranteeing here, and why should Ukraine believe us?

U.S. and Ukrainian officials said that Washington had pledged to protect Ukraine against Russian attacks, potentially easing the path to Kyiv’s signing on to a truce even as major questions about territory and Russia's willingness remained unresolved.
U.S. offers Ukraine security guarantee in bid to strike peace deal
Ukrainian leaders said Monday they appreciated White House efforts to reach a deal even as significant gaps appeared to remain between the sides.

One of my really irritating professional opinions is I think you should never refer to anything you make as "content" or yourself as a "content creator." Be more specific about exactly what it is that you do. Me? I'm a writer. And I don't write "content"!
the term "content creator" served it's purpose very well. conditioning people into seeing everyone as anyone and everything as anything, mostly among the ruling class who found it most convenient for their pockets. in that sense, generating slop is the final result of content creation
the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life

Last night, I beat Metroid Prime 4 with 100% items. Still processing some thoughts on the game and might try to write them down into an article.
Regardless of my criticisms, I'm so glad it exists and that I got to play it. It's a very fun and beautiful game.

I got to Prime 4's point of no return, copied my save file, and took a shot at the final(?) boss. It didn't go very well, so now I'm going off to find upgrades. This might be the best thing that's happened so far in the game!

Last night's biggest surprise was Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, led by Casey Hudson, who directed KOTOR (and Anthem). Exciting news for lots of people... but Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game
