i really fucking like Gundam, Ultraman, Godzilla, FFXIV, Formula 1 (McLaren), history, and paleontology and you WILL hear about it. She/her 🏳️‍⚧️

I picked up a copy of the collected letters of JRR Tolkien for reasons, and this is the most bullshit table of contents I've ever seen. I'm actively angry that it exists

Contents

Introduction - vii

Foreword to the Revised and Expanded Edition - xi

Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien - 1

Notes - 607

Index - 637

Also, my major preoccupation these days is my unbridled rage at tech overlords who create their products by putting an underclass into the thresher of 'progress.' The coyote is driven by purpose, and his passion is exploited by egoists. The roadrunner is his art.

just because you make a game look overly detailed for a reason does not mean that making it look overly detailed is good like yeah cool they're supposedly going for a specific art style (I have seen about 5 different things confidently claimed to be the look they're evoking), it's still ugly.

hunter biden spending months trying to recreate his image to ultimately just do a crypto scamcoin is amazing. 10/10. so glad we don’t have to pretend to take him seriously as a 2028 presidential candidate anymore

i’m sorry, are you doing a memecoin launch as #resistance hunter biden? also what the hell is this essay bruh “trump scammed you but if you get it from me you’re sending a message”? $laptop? are you acting out because your dad’s ill & you’re back in the realm of attention?

Hunter Biden & @HunterBiden • 35m
For years, Trump and right-wing media have been asking, "Where's Hunter? Where's Hunter?" Well, here I am. Clear, strong, seven years sober, and with a lot to say.
By now, you may have seen the article in the Wall Street Journal that I'm launching a meme coin called $LAPTOP.
The symbol they used to try to end me is now a symbol of resilience, redemption, and recovery.
But why would I ever want to support a meme coin? Why something that has been so misused by grifters? I understand the cynicism. Trump has broken trust in everything he's ever touched. And his token was no exception.
With $TRUMP, nearly one million wallets have collectively lost ~$3.8B.
With my token, 20% of the coins will be airdropped to the community, and I am even including people that lost money on the $TRUMP grift.
30% of the tokens are tied to a preprogrammed mechanism. We publicly say what has to happen in the world. If it happens, the corresponding tokens are permanently burned.

Suddenly all those "people unsure if Mamdani should attend 9/11 ceremony" articles comes into focus. It's a blatant racist attack to distract from the fact that they knowingly covered up health hazards because money wasn't flowing.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the release of tens of thousands of documents showing the city did not disclose all it knew about air toxicity after the 9/11 attacks u.afp.com/Sj5u

i bring a "'love languages' were created by conservative christians" and "MBTI types were created by eugenicists" sort of vibe that the wol/OC question askers will probably not appreciate

FWIW I think that everything else about it looks fine. Other than the awful BotW inventory UI. If you love OoT you'll probably like the remake. Other than that inventory. the inventory is really bad, probably actually worse than the graphics

I was thinking about it and actually the VII remake (And really Final Fantasy as a whole since like X) shows how to do what the OoT remake is trying to do, but better. Because SE decided to lean in on high detail graphics, they toned down some aspects of stylization.

Shit man the FFVII remake has some really stupid shit and even more stupid shit coming but I have loved them all so far and will love the new one. VII isn't even particularly high up for Final Fantasy for me, I just love Final Fantasy that much that even one that's mid for the series really clicks.

"It doesn't matter what you think about how it looks, the OoT remake will be a hit" i mean yeah I know that. It's Nintendo and it's Zelda. They regularly get glazed for dogs hit. And like, I never got into it but OoT is a big deal for a lot of folks and I can at least see what they like about it.
