  • I have two email addresses that I use to sign up to everything, and they themselves are both over 18 years old. The only thing I’ve let verify my age is my Microsoft account, and they did that by looking up my email with their “age verification partner” or whatever, and they determined I was over 18.

    Not that I was ever planning to give any websites my ID or do any selfie shit with anyone anyway, but now that I know it’s completely possible to be verified without all that I definitely won’t now. Discord never tried to lock me out, so I guess my account there is old enough? I signed up pretty early when they started. I’ll go completely offline before I play along with any of this.


  • I’ve (only?) got about 100 hours in it, I think it’s pretty good. The main worry with the new one is that the devs are working with Paradox Interactive now, so everyone expects excessive monetisation and minimal bugfixes because that’s what they do. Since the game isn’t even out yet and they’ve just announced a deluxe edition, limited time collector’s edition, official merchandise, loyalty discounts and preorder bonuses, I think I might pass on this one.

    Check out the author too, he started a voting bloc called Sad Puppies to influence the Hugo Awards for a few years (which meant voting for his books, of course) because he was upset that thanks to political correctness it was impossible for straight white men to win awards legitimately.


  • I kind of enjoyed BotW, but once the awe factor of the landscape wore off it was just a load of mostly unrewarding traveling to too many shrines that were too small. Combine the 120 shrines into like 20 that were 6 times longer each and they would have been cool mini-dungeons that I would have happily done, but as it was I was so bored. The main dungeons were good and I still put 80 or so hours in, but unlike everything pre-Skyward Sword I’ll never revisit the game.

    Then Tears of the Kingdom was like hey here it all is again but there’s three times as much and this time there’s no WiiU version to emulate so the performance will be so much worse. Nah.
