They dropped a trailer for the new Pokémon Snap reboot. My youth! It calls to me!
There is apparently some kind of bioluminescent phenomenon you're investigating whilst taking pictures? Absolutely everything should glow in the dark! They somehow found a way to make me want a Snap reboot even more, which is impressive considering the stratospheric levels of desire I already felt for this concept.
I played a LOT of Snap as a teen. I even went to Blockbuster to use the sticker printing kiosks they had back, in the Dark Ages when both Blockbuster and printing kiosks were things. The smallest sound effect from that game can, if played in my presence, instantly revert me to fourteen with sore thumbs and a stiff neck from the intense efforts to capture balloon!Pikachu on film.
Meanwhile, I've been debating if I want to buy Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I've never played a Zelda game, though I've watched playthroughs of many of them, including BotW. It seems like something I would probably enjoy, in any case. But Switch games are so bleeding expensive, I'm, uh, a bit reluctant to buy anything that I don't already know is going to be a total hit with me. But I have to say, the strongest evidence yet in favor of BotW is this little fan animation Youtube decided I needed to see:
Koroks appear to be straight out of the kodama playbook of tiny, misshapen humanoid forest spirits of an adorable nature, which is--and I cannot emphasize this enough--absolutely everything I need in life. You get to collect them all up? This is a thing? They all have different little leaf faces? Yes, please, I will take eight million. I want to draw them. I want to make little dolls of them. I am prepared to lay down a truly stupid amount of money for the sake of these little knoblins.
