RODEN'S PROFILE

Mirak
The only feedback I want in my reviews is the one from the dev who made the game I did the review for.

Essentially this. On a site this small with this type of focus, the reviewer-dev dialogue is basically the entire point of the comment section on reviews.

Im really invested in worldbuilding so generally yes, I tend to focus more on either games set in a detailed universe or multiple games set in the same universe

I'm not sure why they didn't include a playable Bomberman tbh. I mean, he's there as an assist trophy already, so you've got the rights and the models, AND some effects/animations. So close, but so far.

An Erdrick would be cool. I'd love Banjo but there's no chance at all of it happening now, sadly. I think the only other character they haven't already gotten in that I wanted is Professor Layton- which I admit would be dumb as hell, but also really funny. If the Ice Climbers can make it in then I don't see why I can't play as a puzzle solving boi

EDIT: Thinking more, I'd like to see a Doctor Luigi, mostly for laughs. I wouldn't mind costumes or echo fighters of some of the other Pikmin Captains, like Louie, Charlie, and the Hocotate Freight President.

Plus, if they're doing villains to round out the roster, put Sephiroth in. Just imagine- Kirby cosplaying as Sephiroth. IMAGINE.

hey wanna be super depressed?

It's hard to be depressed reading this, mostly cause I've read it before, I know it, and I've gotten used to seeing nothing done about it.

The good news is that when our species destroys itself, the world will almost certainly live on without us. Better that it does, for if this is the best we can do then we never deserved it at all.

EDIT:

I should take a moment to say something personal regarding the scary, hopeless feeling of how quickly its beginning to show itself, too. This Summer in NFLD has been brutal, but it barely even started until July. We couldn't hold on to snow during the winter months, either. The entire year has been weird.

But now, in the depths of Summer, its gotten startlingly weird, fast. There's too many completely cloudless, baking in the sun type days. Too much humidity, not enough rain. No thunder. Temperatures are always around 25-35, when back as a child 27 would have been considered a really hot day.

I don't want to lose the Earth. I don't want to see my home province get screwed up by this either. But I feel like I can't do anything, if even the most powerful countries on Earth don't care about saving the planet they live on.

Can you do something with me?

I want to challenge you: try to pick a character or situation that I'm NOT going to like.

You will fail.
