"Why don't people recognize Link in TOTK" bc everyone imagines the legendary swordsman to be built like Ganondorf and Link doesn't bother correcting anyone bc being hailed as a hero is like on the bottom of his priorities, which are topped by things like "Bake one of every pie"

just because someone is your favorite character doesnt mean theyd have the same moral alignment as you. wheatley from portal wouldnt say "my pronouns are he/him, thank you for asking!" hed say "what uhh. what does that mean. um. you mean the nouns im most "pro" at is that what youre saying? i like to think im pretty pro,, at all nouns really. umm lets see... apple, kazoo, bubble, happy, door, umm... cake. not too fond of cake really i think its alright but. not my Favorite. if it were up to me though id eat a whole cake in one sitting. if i were a human. not a human, clearly. also not sure if id, know what cake even tastes like. if i tried it. no tastebuds. no Mouth... no. hole. anywhere on my body. haha um,, well anyways id. id say im pretty Pro Nouns. dont see why anyone wouldnt be... what? you mean what i Go By? what do you. ohhhh. ummm. the male ones. the male pronouns. if i can remember what they are... definitely the ones for guys. manly men. like me. pretty sure im a man,,," and you need to accept this

TOTK's post apocalypse succeeds where BOTW's falls short

As much as Zelda BOTW was marketed and shared around as a post apocalyptic game, it never really felt that way to me. societies are thriving and calamity ganon's influence is limited to phenomena that are about to make an impact on the world rather than already having made an impact.

All this to say Tears of the Kingdom feels like a proper post apocalyptic game. disaster has already befallen the world, every single people in the game is struggling, and the gloom permeates many many aspects of the game. Hell, the weapons system itself feels post apocalyptic. you have to forge for materials and make your own weapons rather than relying on finding them in the overworld. It feels like society is truly being rebuilt rather than about to crumble.

I think the recency of the upheaval helps a lot with the feeling of true post apocalypse in totk. The great calamity feels long gone, and as a result I had a hard time relating to the story and characters mainly having been from the past. It felt way less grounded. Totk however is a very present based story with what's happening now mattering a lot more than a bunch of heroes' past accomplishments and failures. I really like how grounded and real that makes it feel. Far more real than the frankly kind of bland story that botw brought to the table.

"Z is a bad character"

Xenoblade 1 and 3 spoilers incoming Ok so Z. I've seen so many people, mostly on twitter and reddit, complain about how this man is a bad character. The thing is though they're missing the point of Z. Z isn't supposed to be complex, he's a force created by origin as a response to the collective will of people to avoid confronting the inevitable collision and dissolution into light that the two worlds are destined for. He's a corrupting influence; an embodiment of the concept of the endless now. Z is compelling by means of the characters he influences. N is widely considered in the fandom to be an extremely well written character-- through the lens of one of the main characters' past lives, we get to experience the pain of loss that made him want to never have to lose anything anymore. Z is the fear of loss, and Noah choosing to confront Z and refuse to give in is him refusing to be afraid of losing the people he loves. He's lost Mio over and over, he had to leave his son behind, he's been unable to defeat moebius and break the cycle over and over, and Z-- his fear of loss-- eventually gets to him. These kinds of interactions make Z compelling and threatening. Z is a representation of the fear and vice that lives inside every single one of us. Even people who are extremely young like Joran can self sabotage and want to stay in a comfortable eternity when that's not the state that anything-- the world nor your interpersonal relationships-- can stay in. Joran is so mired in his assumptions that everyone of the main Keves party thinks he's useless that for a while he isn't able to escape the genuine abuse that he suffers at the hands of Moebius D. And that's Z at work. He (Joran's own assumptions and fears) has paralyzed Joran in a state of self loathing that he's inflicted on himself. There's also another aspect I think people ignore with regard to Z's relationship to past games. And that's that Z is a direct consequence of Shulk's decision at the end of Xenoblade 1 to walk towards the future hand in hand with everyone. Without a god to rule over them, people falling to their worst vices can directly influence the world. Z acts as a foil to Zanza in a sense, both serving as a demonstration of the flaws of a world with and without gods. Shulk's choice didn't result in utopia. There's always going to be something to fight for, and sometimes that thing is ourselves rather than some made up enemy. And that, I feel is the core message of Xenoblade 3. Given that western media has imbued us with the idea that characters need to be compelling in the same way that-- as hbomberguy said-- games need to be fun, it's easy to see why people would write off Z as being a bad character when they don't understand the broader context in which he exists. Like sure Z sits around and watches the main party do shit in a theatre in the middle of origin and that's all he does, but Z taking direct action would be against the spirit of his character. He (our internal vices, fear of change) operates through others, both figuratively and literally. We had to come to him in the final encounter because he-- from what I understand-- primarily exists in people's minds. TL;DR Z doesn't need to be a compelling character in the traditional sense. He's compelling by means of the characters he influences and what he represents; the flaws of a world without gods.

It kind of pisses me off how it's publically known that actually viable dual lands are printed at rare specifically to make money. Mark rosewater has made a public comment about this before and it makes me dread the state of magic even more. If it wasn't money grubbing enough that stuff like the 30th anniversary 1000 dollar beta PROXIES were even thought to be printed. I'm ngl this is part of what keeps me away from playing magic arena even though I try and I want to. If I get a wildcard I want it to be something impactful and fun, like an extra turn spell or a cool legendary creature or planeswalker-- something that's tangibly going to make my games feel more fun. The last thing I want to do is spent 50 dollars on a shockland or even a rare wildcard just to make my manabase for ONE colour pairing of deck be slightly more consistent. This is 100% why I proxy all my commander decks. Other than the occasional bit of paraphernalia like playmats and dice and deckboxes and sleeves, magic isn't going to get any of my money. I'm not going to become a gambling addict just so hasbro's profit margins can be slightly elevated.
