@Scream665 @StatisticUrban Racial gerrymandering is now 100% legal so long as you say you're doing it for party advantage

When I say the original trilogy this is what I'm referring to

@ElectionCenter_ I would much prefer the Florida Supreme Court DIDN'T intervene before a lower court could potentially get a sane-sounding opinion out there

They're clearly going to find a way to uphold the map when the case eventually gets there

People slamming the new Ocarina of Time remake’s art direction are repeating the same mistake.

The trailer hit and the complaints started straight away.

Too realistic.

Looks like some generic Unreal Engine fan project.

Not real Zelda.

This is the exact same energy as the Wind Waker reveal.

Everyone swore the bright cartoon style killed the series. They demanded Nintendo make a more realistic looking game. Now it’s called one of the best visual decisions Nintendo ever made.

The original Ocarina pushed hard on N64 hardware to feel heavy and epic.

This remake is doing the same job for Switch 2.

More detail. Better lighting. A Hyrule that actually feels ancient and alive on a modern screen.

Star Fox has taken plenty of these swings too. Different art directions and tones across the series. The ones that landed had real ambition instead of safe updates.

We are not in 1998.

New hardware. New players who didn’t grow up with the original polygons.

Clinging to the exact 1998 look or demanding it copy Breath of the Wild’s style misses the whole point of a remake.

Nintendo’s biggest wins have always come from backing their own creative calls.

Even when the loudest voices lose their minds at the first trailer.

Mario 64 did it.

Ocarina itself did it.

Wind Waker did it.

This is the same move.

The safe option would be another clean HD port that plays it cool and offends nobody.

Nobody needs that.

Nintendo treating Ocarina like the landmark it is and giving it visuals built for right now.

Am I wrong here? Or are we just mad it doesn’t look exactly like the version in our heads?

oh so people are mad every time we go back to kanto but crickets when it’s this twink and that flute again…

@RZgwTZThmB29287 @RoseMarieAnon Regarding the picture, I'd say the Adult Link timeline is pretty decayed... Just a more rapid decay?

Truly wild that it was a Clinton judge who ruled that the felon in possession of a firearm statute was unconstitutional

@howlongondaboat PS1 Resident Evil was never good tho

[Shy Link @ShyLinku]

@G0ffThew I mean now we have Skyward Sword as a prequel, and that version of Link had the triforce mark as a sign he was "worthy of obtaining" the triforce before he actually got it

So this is probably a soft retcon about what the mark indicates

The state of modern gaming summarized in two title screens

@nikicaga @MariGO2thepolls Yes but if they have to rebuild/expand the House chamber of the Capitol while Trump is in office he's going to make it gold and emblazon his name on it or something

[Shy Link @ShyLinku]

@MarkWarner Should've sued in Alabama state court I guess??

[Shy Link @ShyLinku]

@LeighWolf Notice how you're suggesting (I think?) that you COULD have cast a ballot in both Virginia and California, not that any such double vote has ever been accepted

[Shy Link @ShyLinku]

Even the Heritage Foundation has only documented about 1,600 fraudulent votes over the past -43 years-

That averages to about 37 fake votes per year across the ENTIRE country, or 3/4ths of a false vote for each state

Which races is this affecting??

https://t.co/37kJk7mmbF

[Shy Link @ShyLinku]

Why are they always pointing to proof someone COULD have committed voting fraud but never evidence someone DID commit voting fraud

That's like saying every car you see on the road COULD be stolen and therefore they all are

[🐺 @LeighWolf]

You can show libs objective evidence of a deeply flawed election system in CA and lib journos will still act like you’re a conspiracy theorist.

I have a ballot to vote in the California primary, but I’ve lived in Virginia for years.

The state has been notified (twice) over the last ten years that I left the state, but they keep sending me ballots.

I could have *easily* voted in Tuesday’s election, but Aaron here acts like everything is just fine.

The fundamental problem is that even though about half of Democrats want the party to moderate, about a quarter will flip their shit if it does.

Moderates have the clear advantage in numbers, but you can't have a winning coalition without both camps

[OSZ @OpenSourceZone]

CNN: Democrats are dissatisfied with their party and want them to move to the center

@RonDeSantis My dude they literally weren't subject to criminal prosecution when on tribal lands

@billybinion Thinking she's evil is deranged, but I wouldn't defend her for casting performative "principled" votes only when it won't change the outcome either

[Shy Link @ShyLinku]

@StatisticUrban The only conclusion one can reach looking at that graph is we need to convince Chelsea to run in 2028

@goobcevar @ZaidJilani @nikicaga Would that all Texas Baptists agreed with you but I have a feeling most don't!
