I appreciate your bravery, very few would choose to be my mortal enemy but you really had the guts to do it.

No but honestly I didn’t own Majora’s Mask as a kid so Ocarina of Time is my favorite but Majora’s Mask is totally valid.

It’s annoying at first, but once you get used to the auto-jumping, it’s only mildly annoying. I like it because of nostalgia, but I get where you’re coming from.

You may want to try ship of harkinian which is a recompilation of OOT with improved controls and mod support.

Also, give dedicated jump button, please god, there’s platforming and it’s 3D, please, I beg you, I can’t keep autojumping, please

Ocarina of Time was TOO perfect and ahead of it’s time, so the water temple was very difficult on the low resolution CRT screens that was the technology at the time.

The obvious GOAT of the PS2 era

I love that game

Is that what this genre is called?

Sonic can’t tell the difference because he knows every woman is a queen

I think there’s a factor that OP is not considering, which is development time. Some times you don’t have time to think about a better guide so you’re forced to use yellow paint. Using cliche mechanics will speed up dev time in general because you know the audience is already familiar with those mechanics and don’t have to explain them. And while if feels bad to say for anyone passionate about any form of media, people who are just casual enjoyers really like to have the same thing over and over again, and those people are 90% of the market.

she would have been associated with cherry tomatoes

I need Denethor eating the tomato as an emote right now

Yoshi’s story is good and is the only game where yoshi shares his true thoughts

How can you sue for a patent registered after the product is out? IP rights are so broken.

The PS5, the only console with -1 games

Comparing every male video game character to Marcus Fenix would really rile up anybody who remembers the cliffyB drama.

I’m working on a theory, that the rise of livestreaming and the erosion of rights, or at least sympathy, for the disabled are connected. You can decide what kind of -posting this is, but the disabled have historically been shunned to venues of less-than-repute entertainment to make a living. Carnival workers, ‘freak show’ members, etc. And live streaming is just the next venue to pop off. As more disabled people, who are unable to work a regular job, give streaming a chance (www.twitch.tv/myelint tomorrow at 1 p.m. est) the expectation that the disabled will be able to make a good amount of money just playing video games is reinforced in society and the idea that we may need assistance, especially financial, becomes less accepted.

But even for the successful, it’s just like working those older jobs. There is no advancement in the field of streaming, just as there was no advancement for working at a carnival. Even worse, creators on streaming platforms are not given the same workers’ protections as a regular job, beholden to the ‘gig economy’ style of employment where you can have your job snatched out from under you and you get no attempt to bargain your own pay. Then there is the fact that you have to be constantly performing and hope you don’t lose your audience.

If you have any other songs suggestions for getting into them, I’d love to take a listen

The thing about historians saying that people were friends and not lovers is to avoid coming to conclusions without necessary evidence. Now, I’m sure there is a degree of homophobia, but historians aren’t from those cultures, so they can’t say for certain if a behavior was actually evident of homosexuality or if it is simply the lens of modern culture.

I have a funny story about this. In 1685, James II, a Catholic, came to the throne in England. The people, who were very protestant, let this happen with minimal rebellion because everyone thought he was gay. But in the 1600’s they didn’t really have a word for homosexuality, so the only thing that is clear from historical records is they were very sure he wasn’t going to have a kid during his reign (he already had a daughter). So my history professor professor explained it as they all thought he was nudge nudge you know. But when he did end up having a son, all hell broke loose and the people of England basically invited William of Orange to invade.

Yes, they finally remembered that Metroid exists, and I appreciate it, but almost a decade and a half of completely forgetting about a female protagonist as pressure for exactly that continued to mount. Like, not even in promotional material for the most part. Call me bitter but Metroid games have consistently been one of the best experiences on each console they have been on, and the series was forgotten for years because It wasn’t as liked in Japan as it was in America.

At this point it’s complaining for complainings sake.

What else is the internet for?
