β€œBut the hero did not appear” hits especially hard after playing the β€œLink has a mid-life crisis at 12 years old” game

Tbf tho accepting the timeline does mean accepting that Hylia and Demise are things, so who’s to say what is good and bad

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - Intro HD
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - Intro HD YouTube video by andap anda

Was always weirdly confused by people who watched this intro and were like β€œno yeah that’s standalone”

I get the impulse but I don’t really think this one is weakened by being in context with the others

Gonna resurrect a dead horse and say I kinda like the Zelda timeline. Mostly because Majora’s Mask and Wind Waker were both always obviously alternate sequels to different parts of Ocarina of Time. Yet both read as equally true. Makes for a weirdly self reflective little trilogy there.

If only there were a trustworthy website where they were all easily accessible and you didn’t have to get a $500 used copy with a dead save battery from some guy in the Dunkin’ bathroom. Maybe you could even play them on your phone!

Started Shrinking on Apple TV. If I had a nickel for every Apple TV show where someone copes very badly after losing their wife, I’d have three nickels!

The doomsayer in me is constantly thinking about how this just incentivizes them to monetize the rot and rent seek home computing by moving everything from hardware you own to cloud-based virtual machines you subscribe to.

β€œGamers rise up” now a coherent political philosophy

Legion: the difference between our ideologies is not that one is right and one is wrong, they have each performed calculations on the same data and achieved two different but equally correct results

Shepard: no the other geth are wrong

Legion: you’re right! Thanks for the correction.

How long has it been since we had a Castlevania where you could use your whip as a grappling hook?

Watching The Studio. Bryan Cranston’s ability to go from Hal Malcom in the Middle to Walter White at the drop of a hat is a fkn magic trick.

I think the thing Castlevania understood that the rest of these didn’t is how much more interesting an adaptation is when it’s based on something that’s full of vibes, but doesn’t already have a complex narrative

If I got to choose where they spent this kind of money, Soma Cruz would be Tumblr’s favorite pretty boy rn and ao3 would be nothing but X x Zero

Took a break from Fellowship for a few weeks but finally forced myself through the Tom Bombadill stuff

These are the types of chapters your publisher only lets you get away with if you wrote The Hobbit

Beat Code Bunny! Both characters. Feel like it hits at a lot of the same themes I was trying to do with my thesis game back at NYU. Makes systems mastery into a thematic statement. Super gay. Clearly made by Mega Man and Sonic sickos. Studio is a bunch of Brazilian DBZ fans. Hell yeah, my dude.

Me watching a horror movie: See, what I would do in that situation is simply give the monster a swirly and slash its tires.

Me playing a horror game: Look, a heavily telegraphed and very slow moving enemy with a big red weak point. If only I could aim at it through my tears!
