I'd need to invest 410€ for playing TOTK (the game, Switch, Pro Controller (ain't gonna play on the minuscule Joycon controllers)).

…and I think I created my account when I was in the UK because all of my rates are in pounds which means that the licenses are actually more expensive than I think.

@zeldatra I could swear I saw where to change the region in the google settings. Ad-hoc I can only see the help page for the Play store https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7431675?hl=en&sjid=2903081056934453095-EU

@adiwan nah, I’m talking about my music clearance service, which exclusively shows me prices in pounds and says my location is the United Kingdom (but the company is headquartered in London, so. Maybe that’s why)
-
YouTube Shorts has improved viewership on my channel (yay) which means that I’ve gone up a tier in terms of average viewership and am now required to pay more for music licenses (boo)

@scribus tears of the kingdom not being multiplayer is a wasted opportunity in general tbh, the amount of insane papaya you’d be able to do with the Rust building mechanics… you don’t even need to justify a second Link, the game does it for you with the Naruto shadow clones that everyone seems to be able to use now.

@zeldatra Man, I have got to overcome my Fallout New Vegas addiction so I can get addicted to Tears of the Kingdom already

10 things the next Zelda should have to improve on Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild.

I keep running into this problem where the things I write are usually totally cool on the internet where nobody can really stop me from describing mangoio in the crudest terms possible, but right now I’m writing for what is possibly going to be on television and those same words would probably get me a very nasty letter from standards and practices. It’s very hard to go from writing like you’re your own boss to writing in such a way that won’t lose the network twenty million dollars in Wendy’s advertising.

@zeldatra Do like other great shows did: invent new dirty words! Battlestar Galactica used *frak* all the time. It's not about the word, it's all about the inflection. I believe the most innocent word can be turned into a swear word when it's used as a swear word long enough. Using adjacent words can be also a nice opportunity to widen the vocabulary.
-
@adiwan Oh yeah, for real. My great-grandma would never, ever cuss... but she made "fool" sound like the *real* F-word if she got riled up.

On Ren & Stimpy, they used to get away with some of the naughtier jokes by submitting a storyboard to the network with a much tamer joke drawn over the actual joke with a sticky note (as back then it was common to modify storyboards as such rather than use a new template since paper and toner costs money) and they would get the signature on it from S&P, then they’d tear off the sticky note and do the more offensive joke instead, then if anyone asked about it they’d show the network the physical storyboard with S&P approval on it. Can’t do that in the digital age. It ain’t all better (but it mostly is).

whatever stereotype the media has trained you to think of when I say my metro-area store gets robbed frequently is false, because there IS a type, but news companies aren’t talking about it.

I am Irish so it’s perfectly okay for me to say racist things about the Irish (but I’m also trying to get an Irish studio to co-finance something for me so maybe I shouldn’t)

DayQuil is $12.29. Our private label version is $3.99. I can only assume it’s because we cut ours with fentanyl

It’s like grayscaled and has film grain and apple over it, I think maybe I might be going a bit far here but it’s just too funny to leave out

I was editing together a faux-RKO newsreel from like the 1940s with stupid narration, and like, it was kind of funny, but then sandwich in the middle of these videos of old planes and cars and whatnot I just decided to throw in video of Jan 6th and it became 20x funnier, I hope Vice News’ bankrupt asses don’t hit me with a claim for it though

Asked a leading question about whether or not Trump lost a fair election, the Republican Governor of Florida laments the Republican “culture of losing” because I guess these guys can’t even answer the easy questions without looking dumb anymore.

Been running on about four hours of sleep every day because I’m up all night with Zelda and then I work in the morning, I don’t think I’ve had a sleep schedule this bad since high school

Skyward Sword, on the other hand, may as well be the only game in the series with how much they talk about it.

OK.... Tears of the Kingdom... What does "tears" refer to? Is it the liquid coming out of the eyes (for example while crying) or is it the edge of two pieces of a material/object that has been ripped apart (for example tearing a piece of paper in two pieces)?
Friday, 12-May-23 13:18:20 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Aaah... So it is not derived from the German word "Tier" (plural "Tiere"), which means "animal".
-
@scribus Good lord I wish, the previous game indirectly mentioned the events of Twilight Princess exactly one time and that seems to be the only acknowledgment Nintendo is willing to give that game.

I’m twelve hours into Zelda and I have accomplished zilch in terms of the main story. I DID manage to construct a self-driving cart that kept me shaded in the desert so Link wouldn’t die of heat exhaustion, but that victory was short lived as I had no way of steering it and also it was made entirely of wood and I rely on fire for most of my fight strategies so everything came to a tragic end.

next time something like NFTs drops that could make me a ton of money but is ethically unsound, could somebody please let me know before you tell everyone else so that I can get in early and when the whole thing explodes I can be like “damn they hired death squads in WHICH developing nation? Oh man I didn’t know my bad dude” and run off with the money while publicly taking a stand against whatever terrible thing I’ve been complicit in

@adiwan I'm always torn between actually having a conscience and wondering if it's already too late until it actually is too late
-
@scribus Yeah. I think the same of the stock exchange. It's a huge and legal gambling machine.

@adiwan See, that's why I just goto Vegas. They're honest about fleecing you, and sometimes you get a free buffet!!

*by overworld, I of course mean Hyrule. The area you spend the first bit of the game in is also an overworld.
