Nintendo¦s strategy of “we will sell more Switch 2 by continually developing and publishing some of the best games ever made” is honestly pretty impressive, but it does kind of make you wonder what they were doing for the past seven years

did you know that you cannot access the united states postal service P·O Box finder website if your computer language is set to Canadian English

what is your preferred aspect ratio?

sometimes it feels like i am trying to singlehandedly redevelop all the technologies for an interconnected web, and it seems like it should be do·able because it has been done before, but also all the people who did it before had way lower standards

i used to care about developing technology for fandom but these days i don¦t ever read fanfic and don¦t like any of the fan spaces so it seems a bit pointless

if you wanted to avoid bad takes about united states politics, it seems today is the day to stay off fedi, not yesterday

if a woman wishes to be recognized she must first make her work into a moral crusade

meanwhile a guy can just be rich and retired and tinkering

i'm telepathic.

don't believe me? i'll show you.

in the linked essay, i explore the ways that writing facilitates communication, and how it, in fact, fits the definition of "telepathy" as originally conceived. along the way, i touch on the history of the term "telepathy", discuss the reasons why writing is able to achieve this, and provide an epistemological and technical argument for why LLM generated text fails to do the same.

please enjoy!

» ☞Aonuma:☜ This year marks the 40th anniversary of the very first Legend of Zelda game. With that in mind, I was thinking about what I should create as the producer of the series. Many of the team members who work alongside me on Legend of Zelda games today have only experienced developing the more recent titles. That led me to wonder, “Do they truly understand just how significant ⟪The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time⟫ was to the series as a whole?” Of course, there are team members who vaguely know the game, and those who played it in their childhood days. But I started to wonder how they'd interpret ⟪The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time⟫ as they go about developing future Legend of Zelda games. By learning the game structure and development style behind the original ⟪The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time⟫, and by actually rebuilding it as a full remake, it may trigger new insights that they can carry forward into future development. If we could achieve that, I thought it would be incredibly valuable. That’s what led us to the conclusion that now is the right time to revisit ⟪The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time⟫ once again.
