nearly thirty years ago i saw a guy stand up in an all hands staff meeting, declare "this is stupid", walk out and never come back, and friends, there's not a single day of 2026 I haven't thought of him

I feel like I must be having a better time in #MetroidPrime4 because I never played anything outside of Super Metroid, Fusion, and MP1 so I have no expectations and have no idea what’s going on
