zelda botw: left the opening area in session 2 and on a world tour to activate most of the map-giving towers. several hours evaporated just like that

when the joycons ran out of juice i switched to portable mode and continued right on. very slick, though the portable mode battery went down pretty quickly, too

i really like how they give you like 5 key gameplay tools in just the prologue. really sets you up to Do Things from the start instead of Wanting To Do Things But Can't So Must Return Later

also really impressed with how vast yet designed the world feels. somehow nails this better than typical bethesda games

@morae *reads tvtropes thing*

erk it said a mean thing near the bottom, i didn't know that was there. unintentional sorry

@morae oh, the curls reminded me of karin from street fighter and her noblewoman's laugh

@morae you, later: "ohhhhh ho ho ho ho ho!"

@grime_witch i dunno, i think Totally Spies has its rep for a reason. those animators were totally into... Some Stuff

@jessiscah24 😎 💯

@jessiscah24 these are dark times

@gcupc yeah. i haven't checked bugzilla recently, just know that they're nebulously "in the works"

@matt that's cool. the vid i watched, the player clearly knew where to go in the big world map. without prior experience, is there a lot of random wandering?

i heard the 2017 metroidvania hollow knight is excellent. want to check that out.

have ignored the firefox add-on world these past few months and looking in, don't see any major new developments?

(it could also be that the new addons.mozilla.org is bad at surfacing relevant content)

in any case tab mix plus finally released a webextension. it only has the features of a v0.1 though

http://tabmixplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19974

i am still waiting anxiously for a real powerful tab management solution a la Tab Groups. things like that and TMP are hobbled by the lack of new FF APIs they'd need to implement their old features, though. it will likely be a while before this situation improves much.

i somehow never got the memo that super adventure island ii is a weird-ass departure for the typically same-y series

doesn't look particularly brilliant though. definitely miss the koshiro soundtrack of the first game

@Sparrow it's really great to get these annoying things done! (i'm on a much-needed kick myself this week)

@benhamill let's be you're welcome

@benhamill could, yeah. a lot depends on the tone / personality (or lack thereof) that they're going for.

@benhamill usually a client will have requirements for their voice, like never use a collective we on our website / official materials or whatever

if you're writing an article and say
"let's hear what so and so has to say" you're actually saying "let us" which is technically a collective voice so it's real easy to have that sneak in sometimes even when you're not supposed to have such a voice

(i just did this)

the virtua fighter 2 soundtrack (or at least this album-rip copy of it) sounds like someone applied a virtual surround filter to it or something. sounds airy and insubstantial

instead of working i spent an hour and change reminding myself about all the weird details of breath of fire dragon quarter

there's a page on the internet where people share how much they enjoy a $2 frozen pizza

props to this mad nonconformist tho
"My family is mostly a cheese pizza kind of family. My husband loves pepperoni."

@ComputerHusband this page says both 2005 and 2007. mysterious!
