Yeah, for decades I’ve heard that theory too. I’ve always thought of it as an urban myth.

Well boys. According to this, I got a wad of 100s, my magnums and I’m ready to plow!

We’ve come a long way from tri-forcing, huh…

So Alaska gives out Hi-Chews? As in the ones you find at convenience stores in Japan? (ハイチュウ)

As a child in the 90s, I remember Saturday and Sunday afternoons being incredibly boring if we didn’t go out. TV was shit (still is), and on rainy afternoons you were basically locked at home.

By the late 90s, at age 10, with no internet access in my county, I was mapping ways to beat the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time. I remember scheming for hours, using Farore’s Wind to take me to the beginning of the dungeon and jumping to the platform on the 2nd floor. This way, I was not using the only key I had on the middle pillar, which is what almost everyone got stuck on.

But yeah, I remember the tail-end of this at that time and starting a whole new game to try this out. And it worked. Still proud of 10 year old me. It’s interesting but I hadn’t felt boredom in a really long time.

I tried watching that Pepsi-Harrier-Jet Netflix documentary, since the whole idea seemed strange and quirky. But holly fuck do they trail off onto random tangents and tried padding the runtime. I couldn’t go on after around episode 3.

Are there currently any that are showing signs of imminent collapse? (Twitter, maybe?).

Or what are the signs to look for those who are untrained in this field?

Can you cancel a ticket after its issued? Because that would imply that you’ve already checked in. So I wonder if that’s actually possible. I’m overthinking this.

Or she could’ve posted the reservation info, which would’ve been dumber and an unpleasant surprise for her once she arrived at the airport.

If you're into the Zelda lore, and like hack and slash. I'd recommend both Hyrule Warriors.

Definitive Edition you'll play with a lot of familiar characters, I absolutely love tearing through enemies using the Skull Kid or Young Link who transforms into the Fierce Diety and just obliterates everything in his Path.

Age of Calamity is in the era of BOTW and it's a bit more polished and if you liked the characters in that game, you'll love to play as them. Just parrying guardian lasers with Oborousa, Riju and Link is fun but challenging. And I absolutely love brining down a Lynel with Hetsu.

I'd also recommend Super Mario 3D World (includes Bowser's Fury). Lots of fun, but shorter levels and Bowser's Fury is kind of it's own open world.

My only regret with the Switch was not getting it earlier in the console's cycle. I've put so many hours into BOTW, TOKTK, both Hyrule Warriors, Mario Odyssey and Smash Bros.

I go there for a couple of smaller subreddits I still visit (barely starting out on Lemmy, tough). But a lot of content seems to be slowing down, like 2 day-old threads on the home tab (I only go on desktop with adblockers).

This is obviously anecdotal, and have no numbers to back it up. We'll have to see how it goes into the future. Reddit just keeps pissing off their core users time and time again.

This and Return of the King were my jam in middle school! I’d rather kick orc ladders in Helms Deep, or save Minas Tirith as Gimly than whatever the fuck that Gollum game was.

DragonsFuckingCars is literally crude drawings, illustrations, animations, and 3D renders of dragons having literal intercourse with cars.

Spacedicks. I don't even know if that sub still exists. I'm not even searching if it is.

But, there was like really graphic, NSFL gore and weird Porn on there. I remember one was the aftermath of a teen in Brazil that kicked a bus tire and it blew off his leg and he was just agonizing on the floor, with bone and flesh dangling from whatever was left of his shin. And that was one of the "mild" ones.
