A stream wherein I jumped into Metroid Prime 3 Randomizer and did my best to get through. I hadn't tried this particular randomizer before but given how Prime 3 has fast travel built in I figured it'd be a pretty great fit since a lot of the backtracking that you need to do in the other Prime Randomizers wouldn't be an issue and, indeed, that much is dope. Other things about the rando are as well, though... there is some room for improvement, perhaps. A few more options, a few more quality of life features around the edges.

Let just say, midway through the stream I got softlocked in SkyTown. So softlocked that I didn't even realize how softlocked I was - entirely. Even with the tools the randomizer has to help the file was locked up entirely. So, to keep things going, I made a new seed that started with everything I had collected to that point plus more instances of everything left. One might wonder does this count, then, as beating the randomizer? I don't know, that's a question for philosophers. All I know is I did what I needed to do.

Mostly this stream was on topic but as a ten hour stream the topic of conversation did wander a bit especially after the big reset. We talked about anime, what YouTube subs really mean in this day and age, plans for New Years, excessive sleeping, movies I could watch (like Civil War), movies I did watch (like Hard Ticket to Hawaii), housing ambitions, successful YouTube shorts, blankets, the next Metroid Prime and probably quite a few other things that I've forgotten since the subjects came and went.

Technical issues and softlocks aside, I had a good time with this Randomizer. There's things I would have them add as options but the game itself works great randomized and isn't that what's important?
