Lady of the Land @Lady@cat.family

generally i really like the aesthetic so far, it feels actually unique and interesting as opposed to breath of the wild which was extremely generic. the world seems bigger, which i’m sure is partially because i have 0 fast-travel capabilities right now (AND no paraglider [but i do have a dope horse]), but i think also is because they aren’t afraid to make getting places difficult, whereas Breath of the Wild was very “if you can see it, you can get there” as a guiding principle. i like riding along and seeing bokoblins going about their daily business in their bokoblin camps. being able to just chuck a firebomb at an enemy is hella dope.

teardrops under the eyes are a very explicit sheikah symbol so it’s interesting to see Zelda wearing them

• got off the floating island
• rewound a falling block to get onto another floating island… and then had no way off. so i built a DOPE-ASS GLIDER with a FLAMETHROWER IN FRONT and somehow managed to launch it well enough to not die
• was killed by bokoblins; killed bokoblins
• befriended a dope-ass horse
• went south and a gerudo lady was like “maybe you want to go north”. i did not want to go north i wanted to go to the temple of time (hylian edition)
• made it to the temple of time and got a sidequest which sounded metal as fuck but not horse-friendly. retreated because it was a blood moon and i didn’t want to have to kill all the enemies in there again
• went to the dueling peaks stable and the BRIDGE WAS DOWN FUCK
• did a loooooong detour over a mountain and into the faron province. saw a giant whirlpool and what i assume is a gleeok on the great bridge in the distance
• FINALLY made it to Highland Stable and boarded my dope-ass horse who LOVES me now after we have suffered through so much together
• have not completed any shrines or spoken to any main quest characters since arrival on the surface. this is fine

i will be playing it

nobody else on this site is interested in “unix philosophy”

how many niche bands can i enter into my profile that i like but nobody else knows

after many years of being annoyed by typing - on my phone, i now have a shortcut to easily be able to type ‐ instead

buddy the fact that nobody cares unless the smoke hits New York or California is WHY we’re all salty

fuck your population‐weighting; the PNW has to deal with this stuff every year

spoiler: it is not just a politically-correct synonym for “woke”

if you use “intersectional” as an adjective i’m just going to assume you don’t know what it means

they were actually invented by Tolkien as a food for hobbits and the ones which appear in Zelda are just a clone

unironically some of the people in the zelda hashtag these days lmao

like from the hit game The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?!

if i was trying to defend a thing i definitely wouldn’t start with “well this thing has obvious, unaddressed flaws”

is this techbro claiming that because the criticisms are obvious that it makes them invalid instead of embarrassing?

i used to like pixar movies and then i realized that their whole very explicitly stated aim was to indoctrinate children into the ideals of family and libertarianism and then i stopped liking pixar movies

really out here releasing a film about the oppression faced by a chaste, straight couple in the middle of pride

because developers aren’t professionals. they’re working class
