Cool page! I love this game. Kirby is cute, the idea of absorbing abilities is interesting, and the game itself is fun. Not to mention, the graphics are beautiful for an NES title. HAL Laboratory is a brilliant group of developers who seem somewhat underappreciated in the history of games in my opinion. I have a soft spot for The Adventures of Lolo in particular. That is definitely one of my favorite puzzle games.
Insightful. I understand what you mean. Sometimes we can psyche ourselves out and get nothing done, but breaking things down into easier to manage pieces is very helpful. As they say, "slow and steady wins the race", or perhaps more amusingly, "the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time".
While it has been a super long time since I have seen them, Episdoes IV through VI have always been special to me since I was a child. It was only much later in life that I could appreciate the spiritual implications behind some of the ideas, such as a universal coherence that resides inside of the blood (i.e.: The Force and Midi-chlorians).
In general, I find a lot of the symbolism thought-provoking and imagine that much of it was intentional on part of George Lucas, considering his connections to Joseph Campbell...Anyway, May the Fourth be with you. Haha!
I enjoyed reading your manifesto and I can relate to the 10-year-old blogging part. I was around the same age as well (maybe a bit younger) when blogging was really mainstream. I remember that my mum used to always read blogs written by people back where we immigrated from. Truly, no social media compares to the self-expression available back in the day. Even YouTube channels were highly customisable!
IK right i love bionicle!
