Rather than try to coordinate a live recording or reaction video, we decided to open a Discord chat and discuss our reactions that way. Here is a streamlined transcript of what we said. Time stamps are included for reference, just in case you want to watch and read along with us.

Many people argue that the pink is part of his hat, but a sideways view of the sprite quickly reveals ...
