Dear Nintendo, On top of typical audio language options, please put in a "grunts and ahs/oohs/hahas only" option into Ocarina of Time Switch please. For me? Pretty please?

You know, I prefer the sad/neutral endings best

Leon : Geralt : : Ada : Yennefer

I am pairing monkey soulmates so that they'll proliferate and discourage tourists from flooding into Zanarkand what the heck is this game

Today I raced Cameron through Turtle Rock in A Link to the Past. It was really fun; we pitted my compulsive need to open every chest against his lack of familiarity with the light world caves (which he thought was progress). What a great series to love for a lifetime. Happy 40th, Zelda. #Zelda40th

What a perfect choice

Umozonite... UmoZONITE. Zelda and Metroid universes are truly connected Also, this game's architecture is immensely yonic all over the place

I made marshmallows and added them to homemade hot chocolate... It melts to a sweet fluffy layer in a way that storebought doesn't. Nobody told me it would make such a huge difference but this is easily my fav hot chocolate ever

The Sphere Grid needed a few more passes to get the UI/UX dialed in right

Look, I find it hilarious that guy players will get the opportunity to experience getting man explained to when nerd dude suggests using missiles to Samus Motherfucking Aran Looking forward to MP4!

If the options are between an AU that goes wild with story or a "canonical" one that is far more reserved in fear of messing with the timeline, please put my vote in for the bananas AU

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once. And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

That the Soldier Constructs don't follow the cycle of the blood moon because they're not controlled by Ganon is just such a fantastic level of detail which is never remarked on

The fish spatula I bought is too big for my pan and therefore I've been flipping my salmon fillets with a cookie spatula, lil fish cookies

Replaying TOTK to grab all the Zelda Notes memories, and -the notes are great and help improve some weird lines in the base game (Zelda advises the Gerudo based on Urbosa's words to her! The goat herder guy was new to the job!) -Kohga is awesome and a fantastic leader for the Yiga

The average time between me wanting to watch a movie to actually sitting down and doing it is about 10 years

It's a stressful but an essential read. Impossible to think that people who have a shred of empathy or even simply a belief in divine or karmic consequences can be okay with this.

Folks, this is it. This is the best episode of the Book of Matoya podcast. This is the one where we talk about the basketball court of Final Fantasy VIII. Is it good, or is it bad? It's good. It's so good. Don't let anyone lie to you.

I have never, ever, EVER wanted to use a curly quotation mark in lieu of a straight one

FF8 had me so excited but I need to mind my F-bombs (apologies)

I wish we could've played that version of BotW where the Sheikah Slate was the WiiU screen and open all the time

"You'll be able to schedule messages after you send your first message." WTF Teams

My younger self... is right. FF8 is awesome

How nice to dream of distant warm watered planets with nothing more than algae life www.cbc.ca/news/science...

I've never really played a Donkey Kong game, but as a person who will habitually dig everywhere anytime there's a game with that mechanic, I'm super excited for Bananza

I suspect that the Switch 2 Zelda Notes functionality (phone app map with points of interest and audio logs) will be in Metroid Prime 4. Or at least it makes incredible sense to be, for collecting powerups, hearing federation logs, or just having a second screen with a persistent map available!

My life has been improved by putting a recurring April Fools reminder into my calendar

I DID IT TWILIGHT PRINCESS ZELINK IS REALLY GOOD NOW

Cameron is wearing his reading glasses right now and his hair is swooping across his brow... megane character

The way the black fur is shaped on her jawline, against her white undercoat, makes Cocoa look like she has dark fangs.

I love pivot tables

Amazing new JWST image. The blue stars in the lower right are part of one of the faintest nearby galaxies that has not been strongly affected by another galaxy. All of the other galaxies are much further away (and more massive). 🧪

A majestic bunny (insert Lion King song)

Mochi just had a nightmare and in the scramble, fell off of the chair seat he was napping on. After deploying a thump warning and turning down both food and pets as he scanned the environment actively, he has now settled back down and is napping beside me. What a brave little man.

Person who cast on 150 laceweight stitches and knit 10 rows when she needed 152... I counted!! A tiny gnome went and changed things up when I wasn't looking

Years ago, Nutella did a thing where you could request a custom jar label, and I got one with Cameron's name on it. I stuck it on a new jar discreetly and waited, and the reaction once he finally found it was hilarious

Get yourself a person who will yell out "Triforce!" with you when the mystical artefact crumbles away at the touch of an unworthy person in a movie

Was minorly alarmed when blocking stocking #2 and while wet it was 20% larger than stocking #1. Didn't realize it would shrink by THAT much but I'm very thankful

I like Batman at his most Superman, and Superman at his most Batman

Winter solstice is this Saturday! Finally. As usual, please suggest sun-shaped/themed foods so we can celebrate every day getting a little brighter and not, say, being pitch black at 4PM. Our usuals have been shakshuka (golden eggs!) and arancini (golden balls of saffron cheese rice!)

It's a Zelda year so Zelda is GOTY. I really appreciated its smaller size because the open world ones usually take me 200+. Bravely Default II is somehow even better than the first one, and I'm glad to have played it. And Pokemon is Pokemon (gotta keep up with both the living and Go-Home dex!!!!)

Things I learned this year: the existence of the Glass Flowers by the Blaschkas, some 4400 intricate pieces crafted by father and son over the course of nearly fifty years. How lovely they are, and how strange that I'd never heard of them before. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_F...

For the people that work with a customer support ticketing/helpdesk system--is it helpful or unhelpful if the customer responds to thank you after you send them (what may be) a resolution to their issue?

Every so often I think of a new thing about an old favourite, and it brings me great joy. Like, did Link from Ocarina of Time understand what adults were when he left the forest? Did he understand the concept of childhood if there was nothing to compare it to?

I'm begging the client to move faster because it's been two weeks since I put down this task and I am Gandalf walking into Moria-ing it right now

Should I make a yule log for the building holiday party, or would that be too extra? There would be little meringue mushrooms

I got a massage this afternoon, and despite planning to jump into work again immediately afterwards, my brain did a Windows XP shut down sound and I all but collapsed onto the couch for a nap

The most thrilling thing about the 3-day business class I took was that every participant was properly cautious about GenAI and its (in)capabilities, despite the incessant marketing/hype targeting them

What wonderful sleuthing about a painting rich with symbolism

The video games angle makes this extra interesting
