Got my very first smartphone last year, so I can finally share mine

edit: "insert attachment into post" does not look the way I expected, lmao

I got through most of the game before I met the great fairy. It's wayyyyy more fun once you're able to mix and match different accessories.

In the end I think my playthrough was pretty thorough. I'd have loved if there were some post-game challenges, à la most modern mario games. I know I'm playing a game made for children, and that's fine, but it's nice if there's *something* in there for me to struggle against.

This incarnation of Zelda Cavern had its impact on me, for sure. Those really active years of 2015~2016 were a time when I was disconnected from a lot of my traditional social outlets, and having people to chat with here was lovely.

Like you said, TSR and ToH loom large for me. I could talk about them forever, but I think I'll leave it at what you said.

Other boards that impacted me were "Warteen's Final Fantasy iii Message Board," which I actually just visited yesterday. It's still kicking around, haha. There was also a fan forum for the webcomic "Dominic Deegan" which I had some great times on.

I miss small communities. It's hard to keep them going, but they're so vital.

Ah dang, sorry you had to deal with that Kaynil. Glad you got your account back!

Survey submitted! I come off as a very grumpy fella in my answers.

This may or may not be true of me.

I'm actually kinda surprised how quickly I fell off of it. I fully intended to find all the shells and such, but the game just lost my interest after I beat it. Probably because I've got so many games I'm dividing my attention between this year.

Duly noted!

Thank you. The book mostly targets more experienced runners of TTRPGs, since the book is unlikely to reach anyone who isn't experienced with them. None the less, I do think it's a fairly accessible text.

You seem to be a bit more active online this past month! It has been nice seeing you around on twitter and on here.

It's always good to see music from earlier periods preserved via modern performance.

Haha, I definitely remember trying to validate my ego by picking hard difficulty levels myself!

These days I will also usually play through a game on normal, but I really appreciate games—like Hades for example—where the game ramps up the difficulty as you get better.

This one honestly works so dang well:

I've come to have a strong preference for games that don't have metagame difficulty selectors. I feel like whenever I am asked to select a difficulty up front, I pick the wrong one. Either I pick 'hard' on games where it's far too punishing to be possible for a first time player, or I pick 'normal' in games where it's entirely too easy to be a fun challenge.

I have enjoyed "count to 10,000" threads on other forums. Particularly when folks are only allowed to use images for the numbers they post.

Like you said, it serves as a reason to check in regularly, and a sort of default space for casual chit chat when the forum is slow elsewhere.

BotW2 feels like a November 2021 release at the earliest. Though, BotW came out in like March or something, correct? And it obviously performed quite well. Though I suspect that was more a result of Nintendo being desperate to get the Switch out as soon as possible, and to start it with a heavy hitter like a mainline Zelda game.
