@karen Here's the problem with Nintendo letting anyone use their games for online content.
I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, but I don't care. I love Super Metroid. It's been my favorite game since I was in diapers (literally, I played it when I was 3 years old). And now, the only time I see Super Metroid on Twitch (my gaming source) is when I watch AGDQ. And it just so happens, that one of the main Super Metroid AGDQ players is OatsnGoats, who abuses meth to get the fastest times at this extremely competitive game. Because of this, I now associate Super Metroid with meth addicts.
Nintendo, if you're listening, put a stop to this kind of stuff. Figure out a way. It seriously makes me, and other people like me, feel bad.
Sadly, these retro games only exist in the public eye in the form of speedrunning. And OatsnGoats is one of the top speedrunners who previously held the WR a month ago, with the most viewers attracting attention to this game. He's had friends call him out for doing meth on stream, which I watched, and then I noticed how often he rubs his nose and snorts because "his nose happens to be itchy all the time." This has really left a sour taste in my mouth for not only Super Metroid but also Nintendo. I don't know what can be done about this kind of thing. But hopefully something can.
