Notch is having some kind of LSD fueled meltdown on twitter at the moment or something :raise:

If you had Notch's money, what would you do with it?

So much Taco Bell

The Doritos Locos taco doesn't taste like anything but a normal hard shell taco, which isn't a problem but it is more expensive so it ends up feeling like a pointless addition to the menu but I appreciate your pun anyway, friend

I don't think there has ever been a "bad" Kirby game. There have been a few that were adequate but never bad.

I've seen people say Squeak Squad was bad but those people can go to hell

The Metroid Prime series got less good with each sequel but the Donkey Kong Country Returns sequel is an improvement so maybe Retro should make another Donkey Kong instead of a Prime...

Metroid can go to hell, Donkey Kong Country Returns sequels forever.

Give me an entire game of rocket barrel levels

After Tropical Freeze I think I am done with Retro's take on Donkey Kong.

Tropical Freeze was amazing I'll fight you to death

I think earlier DKC games were much better balanced, well specifically DKC2 I suppose, and overall Tropical Freeze just felt like another Returns but without bringing anything additional to the table besides I guess looking prettier. It didn't feel like Retro evolved from their first foray into the franchise and I'm not sure I'd have confidence they'd be able to do better a third time.

And more than anything else I just don't think I have the mental endurance for a platformer that hard anymore, there were several times (2-K, 5-K and the water world especially) where I cam incredibly close to just dropping the game entirely and selling it.

I felt like TF was way easier than the first one.

The stage where you ride a rocket barrel through the rat cheese caves and the one where you ride one through the fruit processing plant had my jaw on the floor. I was blown away by how creative those stages were considering literally all you do is move up and down.

I'm only half joking whenever I say that, I want everyone who likes Metroid to get a new Metroid especially after that Federation Force nonsense. However I personally do not like the Metroid games and love DKCR + TF and would much rather have more of that instead.

tropical freeze has got some super creative set pieces and it rules for speedrunning

For real, watch this whole thing:

I like this one more than the race from this year but both are still good
