when are people gonna realize that character flaws are different from bad writing??
"This character's too codependent!!" thats the point.
"This character's too naïve!!" thats the point.
"This character's too ignorant!!" thats the point.
Decidme lo que queráis pero que cada túnica tenga un diseño único que esté en armonía con su tribu correspondiente me parece mil veces mejor que tener túnicas que son copia y pega pero de diferente color.
A reminder that this is a remake not a remaster.
Remakes aren’t 1:1 of the originals. For good reason, they add improvements, additional content or even changed content & gameplay in some ways.
This is going to be amazing, if you want a remaster… play the 3DS version 🤣
It’s wild to me how people are unable to appreciate medieval/fairytale detail when it’s Zelda’s turn. Zelda does not need to be bound to minimalism or cell shading. In fact, it should lean more into what OoT26 is doing now. I love the detail and how it makes sense for the Kokiri.
Ceci n'est pas une blague, IKEA lance un mod gratuit pour Skyrim qui met en avant leur iconique étagère Kallax. Celle-ci va vous suivre pour vous proposer du stockage ainsi que des quêtes amusantes.
If you wear glasses/contacts you’re disabled. I think some, even other disabled ppl, forget about this bc it’s a disability that is largely heavily accommodated in much of the world
I genuinely think the whole “be the bigger person” mentality benefits the abuser more . Reactive abuse is very real, and I think we have to stop pretending that people can endlessly mistreat, provoke, disrespect, manipulate, and hurt someone and then expect that person to respond perfectly every single time.
You cannot continually be cruel and unkind to someone and then turn around and tell them to “be the bigger person” every time they finally react. At some point, that person is going to become frustrated, angry, exhausted, or defensive. That reaction does not erase everything that happened before it.
I also feel like “be the bigger person” is forced onto victims far too often. Instead of asking, “Why did this person feel pushed to this point?” people immediately focus on the victim’s reaction and tell them to remain calm, forgive, stay quiet, walk away, or take the high road. Meanwhile, the person causing the harm gets to continue doing exactly what they were doing with very little accountability NO THANK YOU
Grace Hopper built the first program that let a computer translate human instructions into machine code, and then spent two years failing to get anybody to use it.
Her account of the reaction is worth quoting exactly. She had a running compiler, nobody would touch it, and they carefully told her that computers could only do arithmetic and could not do programs.
That was 1952, and it took two years of demonstrations before her own company's management accepted the thing worked. The idea underneath it sounds obvious now and was heresy then. Programming at the time meant writing instructions the machine could execute directly, in numeric codes, by hand. Hopper thought the machine should do that translation itself, so a person could write something closer to English and let the computer convert it.
When she proposed going further and using actual English words, she was told very quickly that she could not, because computers did not understand English.
Her reasoning was about who gets to use a computer. Very few people think naturally in symbols, she said, and the ones who do become mathematicians. Everyone else finds it easier to write a sentence.
She built it anyway. Her English-language compiler became the foundation of COBOL, which ran business, banking and government systems for decades and is still running some of them.
Every programming language since sits on the principle she was told was impossible. A machine can be handed instructions written in a language made for people, and do the translating itself.
She retired from the US Navy as a rear admiral. They named a destroyer after her.

We just lost another legend today 😔
The acclaimed comic book writer, novelist, journalist and pulp historian has passed away at 73, leaving behind a career that stretched from classic pulp adventures to the Marvel Universe.
Will Murray spent much of his life keeping forgotten heroes alive, then accidentally created one Marvel could never forget.
Comic fans will know Murray best as the creator of Doreen Green / Squirrel Girl, introduced alongside Steve Ditko in Marvel Super-Heroes #8 in 1991. Marvel initially had little interest in continuing the character, only for Squirrel Girl to return years later and become one of the company’s most unlikely fan favorites.
But Murray’s legacy went much deeper. He devoted decades to preserving and continuing characters from pulp fiction history, becoming particularly associated with Doc Savage and The Destroyer.
He spent his career looking backward to preserve pulp history while also creating something new enough to survive him.
Rest in peace, Will Murray. The stories he kept alive, and the squirrel-loving hero he helped create, will keep his name on the page. 🕊️❤️
