I need a pinned post, and also it occurred to me maybe not everyone who follows me over here knows who I am, so here's a bunch of games I've made and helped make.
I like how Samus is the subject of numerous alien Chosen One prophecies, not because she's divinely chosen or anything, but because blowing up bad guys is her job, she's very good at it, and the aliens can see the future.

Metroid Prime 4 feels like it hasn't skipped a beat. It could've come out 10 years ago on the Wii U and everyone would've been like, yep, this is basically what I imagined the next Metroid Prime game would be. And this feels like both a positive and a negative.

Mashing the Motorcycle button in No Mororcycle areas while muttering "This is no place for a horse. I have to go alone. This is no place for a horse."

Holy shit I'm actually playing Metroid Prime 4. It's a real video game.

Released my puzzle game prototype on itch. Calling it Floopo.
There's 4 modes: Clear 1000 blocks, Clear 50 loops, Endless, and Battle Simulator. The last one will randomly drop garbage blocks on you to simulate a hypothetical vs mode.

For some reason in the early years of Yoshi's existence Nintendo was like, yeah this is our puzzle guy.
Also funny that 2 of these games are trapped in a weird legal limbo. Tetris Attack because of the name, and Yoshi's Cookie for more complicated reasons I'm not fully clear on.

Just heard someone say Metroid Prime 3 came out 18 years ago and did the math to confirm and now I'm mad

I've been putting off doing an upcoming pieces display because I thought my messy code would make it a pain in the ass, but I suddenly realized an easy way to do it and added it in like 10 minutes.
I think I'll do ghost pieces, hard drop, and maybe hold pieces, then release it.

I changed it so all pieces have 3 blocks, and I think this works better. With all color variations, that means 14 possible pieces, which is far more manageable.
There's a few more things I want to add, then I guess I'll throw it up on itch if anyone wants to try it.

I like finding out a game I didn't know had an active competitive scene does in fact have an active competitive scene and then watching people be really good at a game I didn't know anybody bothered getting this good at.
A 7 hour Dr Mario tournament? Don't mind if I do.

I tell people I'm a terrible person and they're always like "no you're great, don't be so hard on yourself" and then they're shocked when it turns out I am indeed a terrible person lol

Okay, did some fine-tuning. Added level progression and scoring, made the play area smaller, and made it so completing a loop also destroys a layer around the loop so you have a way to dig into bad areas. I think this definitely has potential.

Okay, I've got the core game generally working. I decided to let the player control flipping instead of making it random, so instead of a hazard you have to deal with, it's a power that lets you access both sides.
Now the important question is whether it's actually fun lol

Feels like this is probably the ideal year to stop even hate-watching and live-posting the game awards. I feel like we can exercise that amount of restraint and self-love, yeah?

For all the stuff Sakurai puts into his games, it's weird how conservative he is when it comes to character customization.
Smash characters only have 8 colors, and only for a select few are some of those alternate costumes.
Now Air Riders only has only two colors per character.

Last time I got excited for an upcoming anime was My Deer Friend Nokotan, and it was completely ruined by an abysmal AI translation. The dub didn't use AI voices, but it used the same script and was basically unwatchable.
So it's cool that they're going even further in that direction.

Am I a contrarian, or is everyone else just wrong about everything?

Okay I couldn't stop thinking about it so I came back and got the loop detection almost working.
Essentially the goal is to create a continuous loop of black or white blocks. This destroys those blocks, plus all blocks contained within the loop.

The loop detection isn't working correctly yet, but not bad progress for a couple hours yesterday and a couple hours today.
