Zelda OOT remake art style is strange. It’s a really small game. Nostalgia has you remembering Hyrule as this huge place. But like Hyrule Castle Town is a short street. Hyrule Field is a small empty zone. Kakariko Village is five houses and a windmill.

That’s what was interesting about the Link’s Awakening remake. They had this toy figure style to mask that it’s a small game for the game boy. 

Anyway, if you want to feel old as shit: Ocarina of Time 64 to Ocarina of Time 3DS was about the same gap as Ocarina of Time 3DS to Ocarina of Time Switch 2.

Time to cancel Square Enix and boycott all their games including the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Revelation. AI Slop garbage company just like Sega. Surely this thread will gain as much traction as the Crazy Taxi one, right?  

[Hap Shaughnessy]

That thread just had this this hilarious back and forth 

I think we're placing way too much importance on visual representation and participation of minorities in media without meaningfully tackling the material causes for why minority representation has been so lacking across the history of modern media to begin with, to say nothing of how this focus nonetheless puts white media on a pedestal by presenting assimilation within these properties as the goal without regards to uplifting and engaging in the native work by Africans and the diasporas (Black folks make shit for ourselves; do you, reader, engage in any of it?)

At the end of the day, a Black Bond ain't gonna fix niggas the world over getting fucked over by cops or stop the slavery in the DRC or stop the Sauds from facilitating the genocide in Sudan; similarly, it is weird to act like Elba playing Bond is a political responsibility he owes anyone or would be some major moment of healing or victory for Black people. It'd be interesting, sure, and I'd probably watch it. But at the same time, Bond is and always has been a white-ass franchise about white people shit. I don't need my people to be part of that. It's also, at the end of the day, just a movie franchise. To that extent does it matter on the road to liberation? Like MLK was a fucking Trekkie, and this is probably the first time some of y'all are hearing that because he is more known for more important shit.

Ultimately, it's 2026. Why have some of y'all's politics not updated from culture war shit from like 2012?

Can you just directly @ people who are doing this or nah? Most people I see talking about this even on here are just saying they think he would cool in the role but they get his point.

Like what's with the fucking "talking to my child" ass tone, you're not giving anyone on Resetera.com a political education lmao.

I'm sorry that you waste your time knowing what you know just to finger-wag liberals on a clintonite dead ender video game website.

Why do you think I'm not organized in real life with actual leftists? Why do you also think people on this Clintonite forum haven't come back to me publicly or privately and said they've learned something from my posts?

Maybe go the fuck away nigga instead of reacting to the fact that I got a brain and you don't.

Jeff tries to settle down the witch hunt as he is know for his measurable and nuanced takes on cancelling online figures. 
 

Max always said he might give Stellar Blade a shot eventually, once all of the discourse died down. He just wasn't interested enough to deal with the weirdos that might show up.

There is nothing wrong with playing or streaming the original Stellar Blade. And it's weird to hold that against him in the same way as this AI thing, which is certainly valid criticism.

I find it kinda crazy how quickly we can turn on some of the very few genuinely kind people in the industry. One bad take after 15 years and it's time to unsubscribe?

 
 
the guilty gear pfp forum man doomposts about the state of the world and how he's just like favorite animu eco-terrorist group 
 

I agree with you that, on paper, those two things don't seem equally damaging when compared, this is related to me personally because in the year of 2026, while society and the world are breaking down at a rapid pace, I am finding it increasingly frustrating following "no politics on main, I'm only here to provide fun" types of Youtubers.

I'm not naive, I'm very aware that he can't singlehandedly change society with his actions but he absolutely could use his influence to fight against a lot of the horrors going on. I've never heard him commenting on Ludovic Mbock getting arrested by ICE in Baltimore for example (unless I've missed it), which is beyond tone-deaf from someone who lives and breathes FGC.

I mentioned Ronaldo in Fatal Fury because after Maximilian became aware of the SA crimes commited he made it clear of how very personally affected he felt after learning about that, which is proof that he cares about the victim and might have some lived experiences regarding that. Denying SNK's sponsorship money shows he can be an ally and a force for good.

Which brings me back to the Stellar Blade thing. It was such easy, low hanging fruit to simply continue not playing that game, which keeps being used by chuds all over as the mightiest weapon against "wokes" to demonstrate what a perfect woman should look and act like. Him not playing that boring ass game felt to me like a tiny gesture of standing up against the toxic incels out there, which given the size of his audience felt pretty unusual.

As for the AI cope... besides the obvious middle finger to artists and devs everywhere, shit is extra disappointing coming from a guy who might be one of the biggest Final Fantasy VII fans ever. I mean, c'mon man:  
All he needs to do is look at the Midgar wallpaper on his monitor, this is not hard to understand.

I don't mean this to be a takedown of Maximilian, I'm sure he is a good person who's single purpose in life is to just "provide entertainment"... but in 2026, someone with such a big audience (while living in the USA), claiming to not know enough about politics and choosing to not take a stand... that in itself is a statement. Personally, I don't want to deal with that frustration anymore, I would rather put my support behind more progressive types.

 
 
When companies destroy the world with their AI Slop machines and toxic incels are prowling the streets, it will be up to the FF7 fans to fight back

Knew this would happen, so I got in my Odin 3 order last month and will be shipping next week hopefully. The only way to play this game is to buy asap or give up your hopes of affording the item you're hesitating on. Batch 2 Thor, Batch 7 Odin 3 and I waited too long on the Odin 3, I wish I had UFS 4.0 :(

Got my iPad on iOS 27 developer beta typing to you guys.
My body is ready for this Direct, Reggiemotowata (RIP).

I want this OoT Remake to be full-blown. Don't even bother remaking it if it's just a port or a scale-up or something we can do better with Ship of Harkinian. I want like a full re-imagining for the modern era. It would be incredible but I doubt Nintendo will do that. We will probably just get a port lol. But who knows?

My kitty just came t knead biscuits in front of my keyboard so that's a wrap for my thoughts.

3 out of 5. I have been able to get the healthcare I needed and have been supported in my medical transition, but I am not free to update my birth certificate or passport to reflect who I am.

The thread is split between people making excuses and others who will no longer buy the game. Then you have people analyzing pictures like its CSI

The difference in tone between the PlayStation leaving PC and Xbox leaving PlayStation situations is like night and day. Soys were just patting each other on the back for PC no longer being able to play Chud of War, but now it’s bad that Xbox doesn’t want Halo on PS. 

These people never grew up and are stuck perpetually in 2004.
