EX: Ah shoot, you’re right. Thanks for the kind correction / words.

Yeah I remember only having modest style concerns over the HD Remix sprites, didn’t love them but they’re weren’t disgusting. But today, yikes. It’s like the rose-tinted lenses came off. Read more

Yeah? You must be absolutely thrilled by this game Read more

Thanks, prof! Read more
