And it's very cool for people who live nearby who can see these birds at their house!

That's one of the things I definitely miss most about living in Karori, so many cool birds just hanging out and perching around the house.

It's such a bizarre scenario, given Luxon isn't popular, what exactly are people choosing National for? Their... "Policies"? I could understand if people were just swayed by the identity politics of it all, even if I think that's a bit shallow, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I think it makes perfect sense for groups like these, that will potentially have a lot of official accounts under one umbrella. A bit like an unofficial official badge, knowing a profile comes from a certain instance gives it a sort of credibility.

Yeah, French Polynesia would normally span about the distance between Barcelona and Helsinki, approx 2,500km.

I honestly did not like BDSP's art style. It somewhat had that same "toyish" vibe, but I feel like it didn't suit that game anywhere near as much as it did Link's Awakening, nevermind that it lacked a lot of the visual polish LA HD had. I get that it was meant to be the proportions of the original sprites but in 3D, but if they wanted to remain faithful to the original pixel art, I think an octopath-like visual style could have been an interesting route to take.

I'm still not 100% sure if I like the art style. I do think it looks cute and it is very polished (in more ways than one). I would've liked to see something perhaps a little bit closer to the photographs taken throughout the game. Other than the visuals, there was just a lot of expression in Link's face in those photographs, and the style we got makes the characters feel a little bit rigid.

That said, the game will always be quite special to me, so no matter what the graphics, just visiting Koholint island is such a good vibe. A fun and concise game, no more and no less than is necessary to make for a memorable adventure and a perfect setting.

I hope we get new 2D adventures that share this kind of spirit of Zelda that the 3D games are just too big to capture.

Eyy it's the Wellington Zoo!

We're all worried about the impending digital apocalypse.

Didn't expect to see something like this pop up! I'm really curious to see if he's recognisable to people in other countries!

Or you could just use Firefox? Mozilla has stated that it opposes this stuff.

This implies the existence of a Kirb that is just a pink sphere.

Well, with how candidly we often throw it around, we certainly do treat it like garbage!
