@suquili I think the writing being "distant" worked really well for botw. They come right out and tell you what happened almost immediately. There aren't really any twists. A lot of it is just picking up pieces to learn more and a lot of it feels like ancient stuff people don't really have any answers for. It gives a certain mysterious mood to the game that I liked a lot. Like a total dismantling of Hyrule as we knew it but there are still little remnants here and there, as well as hints towards other things and some more lore building for other races, it was really cool.

TotK on the other hand was written like a linear story that was better on paper, but since they kept the same open world structure it really fell flat for me. I spoiled the Zelda twist almost immediately and so the rest of the story wasn't that impactful. The story in the past was kind of cool but it was mostly a rehash of ocarina... The story in the present was really bad and every sage's sequence felt like a copy paste. It was so detached from botw that I just couldn't get into it at all. It sucked that they delivered on basically nothing that botw set up, even opting to make it take place in a completely different iteration of Hyrule that is like an alternate universe one that still uses the same names for stuff but has completely different histories behind them. Felt like surface-level fan service.

Either way, I really hope the next game is more like a classic Zelda. I would honestly take a smaller open world with bigger dungeons that actually have dungeon items too. That's REALLY missing in the last two entries. It almost feels like Zelda got a little bit commodified again.

What do you think about the movie coming up soon? Next year, I think?

@Seth_Wachhaltamittel she's like slightly more based that trump pretty much what I've heard

@fwc @bronze @gear her absence was the most disappointing part of the movie

@yockeypuck the same can probably be said for most evil figures throughout history

@fwc @bronze @gear I've only ever seen reze arc and that's it but I would marry power

@suquili TotK kind of sucks but i still had a fun time playing it. I really liked botw for its vibes and lore and world building but the gameplay and dungeons definitely left lots to be desired. Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker are still my favorites for sure.

Bugs Bunny memes are all so fantastic. They were really cooking with looney tunes. Maybe one day we can get another new series like the Looney Tunes Show.

Can't even say retard on Twitter anymore. We have returned to 100% Jack Dorsey era. I love how I get called a leftist, when leftists cry violence at the use of the word.

@WandererUber I like to be greeted by something nice when I first start up my computer. Also I don't always have something on my second monitor.

Character idea: Loli Somali. Prank tuber who is crass and bratty and retarded. Does pranks on older guys and always gets corrected for it :uohhh_bratty:

@Hephaestic that's alright! I'm very thankful for the extra cash you paid, that's very nice of you :) I can take out itch payments whenever but I'm waiting (ideally) for the steam one to come through too so I can pay everyone I need to all at once!

@Hephaestic thank you, i appreciate that so much :D

i do get a better split on itch than steam, but i have to reach a certain threshold on steam to withdraw funds haha.
