It would be fun to see some activity here. Unfortunately I don't think I actually know anyone who is enthused about Zelda games these days.

I mean, kilovh is still out there, I suppose, but he is a busy boi.

Plus, whenever he is around, many of my powers are negated because he commands the inverse powers, and it's a whole thing.

Haha, I am accessible! Just busy.

As luck would have it, I got the emails on the same day I decided to take a week off.

Kaynil u and ur triple email >:O

I don't expect the old show will solve any of the problems I have. Most fans of the old show describe it as being nostalgic for them, or being sillier than the remake.

But who knows? Maybe! Hopefully I'll find a convenient copy of it somewhere.

Hahaha, yeah, it is of a type.

You make a good point. The impact of those episodes would be lessened if they composed more of the show. None the less I find the protagonist's "mundane" school friends to be wildly more interesting than anything the Soma family is doing.

I cannot speak to whether the original or the remake is a better choice, having only watched the remake. I'd kinda like to go back and watch the original when I get the chance.

Kaynil More specifically, folks will often make a piece of media into their identity. They don't just like Anime X. Liking Anime X defines who they are to themselves, and thus any criticism of Anime X is interpreted as criticism of the individual.

It's a somewhat understandable bit of foolishness for children, but one should be expected to grow out of that sort of behavior.

^Hello to you as well.
< Was really hoping I'd be able to make some funny comment about the V thing being from so far in the past, but I don't quite know what to do with 'Hi.'
v Will be replying less than 1 year after this post.

It is tough to sort out the difference between what I learned in school, and what I've learned outside it. In fact I seem to recall that I struggled with that so much 2 years ago that I just figured I'd wait until someone else replied.

I guess I'm quite fond of symbolic logic, which is a somewhat arcane practice, and not very useful in practice, but I like that it exists and enjoy playing with the rudiments of it that I still recall.


How about an easy one: What is the most recent piece of media you consumed?

I've been watching Fruits Basket for the first time. 2019, not the original.

I'm only about a third of the way into Season 2, but IMHO they should've cut 80% of the episodes about upper class animal boys failing to cope with their own bullshit insecurities.

They should have more episodes about girls loving and supporting one another through poverty and violence. Those are the ones that keep reducing me to tears, and which push me to endure the animal boy episodes while I wait for more stories of healthy friendships.

That seems like an unhealthy investment of ego into media.

Thinking I really ought to have gotten my day started over an hour ago, but I got caught up in doing this.

Claraviolet Is "Detective Story" a series, or do you just want to read some mysteries?

Claraviolet What sorta book is it? Usually 9-book series are either Fantasy or SciFi

I've been reading Sam Delaney's Dhalgren, which is not very enjoyable at all. I kinda hate it, actually, but it makes me think, which I appreciate.

It's an 800+ page behemoth about a city which has undergone some catastrophe, and is now cut off from the rest of the world in most ways. Like a miniature, localized apocalypse. The whole thing becomes gradually more disjointed as you go along and the protagonist goes crazy.

Claraviolet Did you enjoy it?

Silent Lion If I am any indication, inactivity is not a big concern for the staff here. 8)

Buh, whut? Whozzit? Someone woke me up. Harumph.

I have a weird midday photo shoot today. Trying to figure out what I can get done before I have to go to that.

Feh, as if there's anything more worthy of attention than zelda forums.
