People talk about IP's as if they must always explore every avenue. I'm here to tell you they do not. IP's can remain stagnant, with little to no change, and be perfectly viable.

Conspicuously absent from this list: "Feels like a Metroid Prime." None of the rest of it matters if that is missing, and it is because of this NPC's annoying chatter.

Nope. Not a single NPC from Echoes to Dread--not the Luminoth, not Rundas, Gandrayda, Ghor, the Admiral, Quiet Robe, Adam (Fusion), Ravenbeak--had marvel tier writing. As another Twitter user said, its not the presence of NPCs'. Its the execution. You're all tourists.

Bookmark this for when Miles plays a consistent role in the story, must be revisited at least 4 times for story related quests, and is included in either the end credits screen/the final cinematic of the game.

"Low follower count is clearly correlated to how many Metroid games you've purchased." I've purchased every Metroid game since Fusion. I spent last year watching/coaching my son through Prime Remastered. Gtfo with your grift.

It is a pet peeve of mine that animation is considered an inferior medium among much of the general public, which is, I suspect, one of the reasons Disney is remaking thee (setting aside their lack of creativity and dwindling finances).

This is the toughest animation I've worked on, a prime example of how to conjure 7 layers of water drawn by hand.. with a limited palette too #pixelart

I think I like In-N-Out more than other burger fast food chains for the sole reason that it feels like I'm eating an authentic, American burger when I eat there.

I want to be one of the greats as well. When I die, I want to be offered a place among the pantheon of the great writers of history in the afterlife. I have a long ways to go, my goal may seem foolish and stupid, but its what I'm shooting for. We will see if I get there.

I'll get a lot of flak for this from anyone remotely well read, but it is a tie between Oathbringer (by Brandom Sanderson) and Firewing (by Kenneyh Oppel).

This Thanksgiving season, I am grateful for the men and women who have made various books, movies, video games, and art pieces that have pulled me closer to God. In any work of art that has been made with passion, I feel the creator has at least had a little bit of inspiration

Unrelated OP: the animosity between Lady Eboshi and San is the best written dynamic between two opposing forces in all of modern media. Nothing comes close to the depth these characters have and the forces they represent. I'll probably write a longer post about them eventually.
