#AstroBot is a fantastic game, but I feel everyone doesn’t acknowledge the insane juxtaposition between the mainline and “hidden” levels. The hidden levels, while creative, are ultimately frustrating. They rely on red herrings and “required” failures to create challenge. They waste player time with lack of checkpoints. It’s comparable to Mario Sunshine, which received criticism for its share of frustrating stages.
I love the game - my game of the year.

I just learned that “LGTM” isn’t an acronym for “Looking good there mate”, it means “Looks good to me”. 
Sometimes I still think about the time in university when I went to a classmate’s flat and he wanted to play Switch, but the system was dead. So he did the class Nintendo “cartridge blow” into the Switch’s charging port and then slammed it into the dock. 
Serious question, as a fairly new #football fan, I don’t understand why there’s so much hate around #euro2024. There been quite a few entertaining moments that go beyond “5 minutes of highlights”. I’ve been watching all of the playoff matches in full, and each match has felt distinct. I’m loving it, but all the dissatisfaction with the tournament is giving me a bad impression of the #soccer as a whole. It really kills my enthusiasm towards this new hobby.
Why so much hate for this celebration?
