@lina Their one saving grace is that they generally keep to themselves. They probably aren't even aware that they are part of a larger network. The only Minds user I know of that actually engages with us is that Swiss Libertarian person who worships jews and thinks that Hitler was a gay commie.

Though I think the worst part about Minds federating is that it broke the search functionality on here even more. I can't search for anything anymore without the results being nothing but their longposts containing their QAnon, doomsday prepper, schizo bullshit.

Zelda rant 

@beardalaxy
>I think the only solution is to say it is completely on its own. A totally separate timeline with its own lore and its own mechanics as far as stuff like the goddesses and the triforce.

Yeah they could just say that it's a timeline created from the time travel shenanigans from Skyward Sword (they don't even need to explain it; it's a better explanation than what we have now) or it could be a completely alternate universe that is similar to the regular Hyrule but with some major differences (kind of like Lorule or Termina but still keeping the name "Hyrule").

>I think Nintendo had so many huge and awesome opportunities to connect botw/totk to the rest of the timeline but instead they decided to just grab random stuff from everywhere and shove it in to one game without thinking about it.

I've said it before that if they wanted to make an open world Zelda, they could've made it take place after Zelda II because the Hyrule in Zelda II is huge and the series never continued chronologically after that game. I always wanted to see what happened after Zelda II because Hyrule was in declined and it's future seemed uncertain, but I guess they didn't want to do that because they couldn't include some of the races that were featured in OOT and became Zelda staples like the Sea Zoras and the Gorons.

The final boss now drops bombs. I felt like it was kind of necessary as the boss is piss easy if you have all your stats maxed. I also increased it's HP slightly.

Many are blaming "Linux" users on tthe Duckstation debacle but you have to remember that 99% of emulator developers are as unstable as a woman in her period. They will crash out and burn their entire work if their ego is not stroke and they hate having to engage with their users.

A lot of economic reports are coming out this week and it's not looking good.

July printing just 73K, far below the 104K estimate. May was revised down by 125,000, from +144,000 to +19,000, June was revised down by 133,000, from +147,000 to +14,000.

Really shows the president doesn't matter. The Éminence grise behind all the recent administrations wants the economy to burn.

Only someone like me would be crazy enough to drive across state lines just to visit a library and work on projects.

@sendpaws No. I mean that Chris Sawyer is a very private person. Literally nobody knows what he is up to.

@ramin_hal9001 @anthk Stallman openly supports free healthcare, taxing the rich, and expanding the welfare state. How is that libertarian?

Another thing I'd like to see abolished are property taxes designated to go to county/city school districts, when you have zero children.

@mr_penguin They aren't "right-wing religious nut jobs". They are a group of anti-porn feminists (or as pro-porn feminists call them, "SWERFs"). The feminist movement is full of infighting which is why some feminists and LGBTQ+ rights activists are pushing back.

@beardalaxy Honestly, I think it's best if Nintendo just retcons BoTW and ToTK into their own bizzaro world timeline where Hyrule has a completely different history because I don't know how they can connect those games with the rest of the series. Even the idea that the Zonai backstory is actually a re-founding of Hyrule sounds really dumb because if it is, then they would outright state it in game.

okay realtalk I want to know if Chris Sawyer has any "back in the day" memories of writing a PC-98 game now

@ube @Forestofenchantment They could at least use GitHub Pages to make an actual website.
