It is so cool how during the FF7R collab level where you clean the Museam exhibit replica of Midgar, at 78-80% you start hearing explosions and Reeve starts texting you about how the opening sequence reactor bombing is happening right now. IMO it gives us a glimpse into what that really must of been like for all the normies just living their lives in Midgar.

I just finished watching a 2 hour long video explaining the entire Metroid series timeline (though Federation Force was absent from it). A very well made video and shows how great the Metroid series is.

I will watch it again when we get closer to Prime 4's release.

Nah, design wise my favorites were Twice and the crazy blood chick... and neither of those names are them so RIP lmao
lol twice is the first to go.

His death is crazy though because it’s the catalyst for the entire endgame of the series. He also got so powerful that they low key made the right call taking him out without realizing it. If you don’t mind spoilers for these two:

Hawks kills twice after infiltrating the villains and making them think he actually switched sides. This is after an entire arc where the villains are the only characters in it and have to fight the other crime syndicate and beat their ass. Its was a pretty great arc. They all get new powers and twice is able to makes thousands of clones to overpower everyone.

Toga is then able to replicate the quirks of people whose blood she steals and later is able to use twice a new ability to create clones with different quirks. Ultimately she fights Uraraka and Sue and basically wins. Ursraka is able to get through to her and prove she wants to be an actually hero unlike most of the pros who had lost their way. Toga was pretty much always shown through flashbacks to be a victim of circumstance where her family, friends and people around her essentially made her a villain because her quirk wasn’t deemed heroic even though she wanted to be a hero. No one gave her proper care of mental health treatment to out her on the right path. Uraraka is able to get through to her and toga breaks down. Seeing Uraraka is fatally injured after the fight she transfers all her remaining blood into her to save her life, but died in the process. It was a pretty well written story for a character who could have been the one more psycho chick in the story.

Metroid is my favorite Nintendo IP. I’ve mained or 2ndary Samus in every smash game. Prime 4 is FINALLY a return to form and I can’t wait. Other M with the trash Wii-more controls, 300 2d side scrolling Metroid remakes and the Metroid soccer pissed me off. We wanted Prime 4 since 2007.

I have the unpopular opinion that this might actually be better then expected, or at least won't be trash like Morbius and Madame Web. Mostly because it doesn't have the same god awful writers as Madame Web and Morbius, and also has J.C. Chandor as the director, who has made good movies (though they're indie films).
I’ve learned over the years that despite a few quality people attached to the film, it can still be terrible.
Having said that, I’d love for this film to be great. The SSU needs a win.

Oh lawd, I've been getting endless amounts of YouTube ads for this movie. It is VERY annoying
it’s a sign. Embrace Kraven. love Kraven. Be Kraven.

It’s nothing to worry about as It’s normal. They kill off characters and bring them back. Nothing is permanent in comics. It’s one of the reasons why the art form is dying.

yeah, but for upper level heroes like him they would advertise it to bring interest…this time they ain’t say a thing for people to notice

Plus Samael and Garog from Unreal Tournament

Just saw Wicked. It was actually really damn good. Prob ably one of the best musical film adaptations period.

I’d heard that Defying Gravity song before, but hearing it in the theater with the full context of the story, it was really impactful.

I was hoping Epic would do SOMETHING with Unreal Tournament, given it's planned to have an episode in Amazon's Secret Level show. Even if it is just this and letting fansites host free downloads for the games.

Been S-ranking Shadow Generations levels and I'm now fully convinced this is the best batch of levels in a 3D Sonic game hands down.

Really hope Sonic Team learns something from this. Was not a big fan of Frontiers.

I'm looking at the PM REX Discord and according to one person, Min Min is "way worse to try to tackle" than Steve in terms of back porting Ultimate characters to Brawl.

I honestly would think it would be the opposite. She doesn't seem that complicated.

I guess sometimes you gotta throw a curve ball at the audience to shock them a little

I’m not a fan of musicals. But I have heard nothing but good things about Wicked……..Unlike Joker Folie a Deux. Now that was bad.

I'm not going to put my expectations on Kraven doing well considering it does have Sonic 3 and Mufasa to contend with this month.
Not just Sonic 3 and Mufasa. The left overs (Wicked, Moana 2, Gladiator 2) from November will still be there. Sadly, Kraven will be trounced.

I've watched Wicked (Part 1) a few weeks ago and it was really good.

True. I'd still expect Wicked, Moana 2 and Gladiator 2 to still make money this month.

my office, probably
I think I basically finished working on my game that I showed off a month ago. I didn't really add much and I did want to make a somewhat complex boss fight but that was just too overwhelming for me at my current level so I settled for something with a lot of health that moves from side to side.

I'll show it off after my teacher gets to see it, hopefully I get more than 80 points this time

What kind of phone do yall have?

I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max
I got the 13 Regular.

I don’t plan on upgrading until I stop getting active support, which probably isn’t for a few more years.
