even by entirely neolib standards he's one of the worst presidents for that alone

I'm enjoying it so far, but the fact the areas I've seen so far have been mostly linear corridors with no side paths is... concerning. They must be traumatized by the series historical sales figures. Or have some nightmarish focus group feedback from the Wii era

I kinda wish Mackenzie's entrance hadn't been "spoiled" in the previews because I feel like I would have felt like I was dissociating if I encountered that in the wild

I just got the bike and the moment to moment gameplay has been really fun (especially climbing up the assembly line). But I'm really conscious every map has been basically a straight line so far. I don't need to understand how to navigate this environment which is kind of a bummer for a Metroid

Yeah. Even early on, the intro at the base attack is... Fine. It's shooter-forward and full of generic trooper chatter but it's pretty good. Then you get taken to the temple and the next bit is amazing, pure Prime goodness, immersive and interesting, looks and sounds fantastic. Then you meet Myles.

I'm fairly early in the game (just beat the boss after you meet Myles), and it's kind of shocking how neatly the quality divide is between "the game whenever any federation troopers are on screen" and "the game when you're alone".

dunking on Sabrina Carpenter is better because it makes everyone in their base happy. Passing legislation sucks because it will always make some of their base mad for not being specifically designed to hurt their most hated minority group

I'm sorry, she has a speaker gig lined up like five days after her story became public?

this is the funniest thing about the "January 6 was a woke deep state op" thing. The capitol riot was an inside job, staged by Trump's FBI, to try to overturn trump's election loss... Why?

that line would have done modest numbers on 2010 twitter at least

the way they both start to answer and her enthusiasm wins out makes this my version of the Biden Liquid Swords tweet except this actually happened
