@sun@Nudhul Can't find pre-AI videos of beavers carrying trees in that way, pulling with their hind legs, all the pre-AI ones seem to be pulling with their teeth and their 4 legs. Same with post-AI videos with verifiable sources.
@lain The original Legend of Zelda was built for a world where kids would exchange information, show each other how to progress, buy magasines and or guides, or call Nintendo's hotline for help to finish it, and still feel the satisfaction of having beat the game. At the very least, you need to draw maps and be willing to do tedious trial and error to beat it truly on your own.
Gamers nowaday don't tolerate that, they expect a game they can beat with no external help, and no external tool (which is to say, no taking pen and paper maps, if manual map making is expected then at least gamers expect the tool to be inside the game).
I'll be honest, there's so many free (legally, gray area or not) or cheap games any friction, be it as simple as getting a pen and some graph paper, is a tough ask now.
@lain And by incredible I don't mean "it's really great technology", I mean "it's not credible", you would not need much to convince me aliens dropped this shit on us.
@lain Honestly by now it's believable we'd have it, but every time I watch the Technology Connections videos about TV it just seems completely incredible that it was invented as early as it was.
@lain@Mitsu That's why you add gravy and/or cranberries. If you control your cooking well, it's not dry like the memes claim either. It's a big bird, relatively cheap and abundant, capable of feeding a big family depending on the size and it can be either lean and relatively healthy or decadent depending on sauce. It's a pretty good canvas, and it's nice that it allows even families of relatively modest means to not feel like they're missing out on the holiday.
Also, if turkey is too bland to your liking, there's also ham.
@lain I played it the way the fans preferred; I only played through the first one on the Gamecube and then developped very strong opinions about all the others.
