@aescling @akjcv oh i was talking about proper tail calls (only implemented in Safari), Symbol.species (trying to be removed by Chromium), and all the stuff TypeScript implicitly leaves out in order to be remotely sensible as a language

@aescling @akjcv evidence that javascript is just a weird lisp grows

@akjcv “Finally, a Lisp compiler that does what it should...”

“It […] contains many known bugs. Not everything is fully implemented.”

maybe a little too on-the-nose…

i guess the real first zelda centric game is wand of gamelon

Show thread

just saw a take claiming that “the first zelda centric game is one with unserious graphics”

i mean yeah, breath of the wild DOES have unserious graphics, but it’s still considered one of the best games ever made

@coriander the villains in Elementary are almost always either doctors, rich businessmen, or other cops they really nailed the profile of who is doing crime in New York

@coriander Elementary does a pretty good job of this; there are like two good cops but mostly it’s just Sherlock being an anarchist weirdo who works with them because they let him into buildings

folks really did fight a war to abolish slavery, and win

how are there no Nina/Kate (Mario Tennis) fanfics on AO3

@coriander the good news is that it was also definitely way cheaper to produce than Breath of the Wild

i think it will be fine; nintendo isn’t above making small-team, lower-budget, high-quality games to keep their IP fresh in-between blockbusters

@coriander oh yeah i mean 2D zelda is great and i’m sure it will be a fun game i just also know there is no way it is doing anywhere near the numbers of Breath of the Wild

it could be the best game ever made for the Switch and still never do anywhere near the numbers of Breath of the Wild, purely for genre reasons

@coriander excited for all the people who have been clamouring for a playable zelda for years to never play it because it’s a 2D action-puzzle game and not an open world cinematic adventure

i’m just saying you can divide Zelda games into the ones with songs and the ones without songs and the ones with songs are Always Better

the vibes do seem unfortunately like A Link Between Worlds where i’m sure it will be a fun and skillful game with interesting puzzles and dungeons but ultimately lacking in a lot of the narrative magic of the series

i’d feel a lot happier if they showed Zelda playing Any Instrument

Show thread

they haven’t given up on 2D Zelda 🥲

why join your husbands house thru marriage when you could join your husbands house thru spending a week surrounded by weird relatives in the woods

it turns out i am so sleepy because it is late at night

@coriander if it helps your brain just call it an “art study” not “giving in to popular opinion”
