  Autism is a much larger spectrum than you might have been led to believe from popular media depiction, and you probably have met a few people in your life who had some degree of autism but you thought “they seem normal?”

  No, i would say it’s very similar. Pilgrimages, a priest class, specific buildings to worship in and “sunday school” of some form or another. If you disapprove of modern religions but like the old ones then it’s really the content of the religion you have irks with.

  Early “shrines” in Mesopotamia were about making a landmark to find and return to and rebuild each time they came by (which isn’t necessarily a “pilgrimage”, just knowing where to return), and then building large storage rooms for all the grain that could be redistributed to the people. We don’t have any particular trace related to sacrifice or teaching worship, or even any mark of distinction between priest and non-priest class, as this was before writing. Source is “the invention of the city” by Gwendolyn Leick.

  Google the text “未来戦隊” “ミライス”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pink Ranger⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Google returns like 5 or 6 other images on Vietnamese Instagrams, with a few different people, a couple of them wearing the exact same shirt, and the logo changes between each picture in a very AI smudged way, or gets photoshop airbrushed off in one. One picture shows a completely other actor under the helmet having a smoke break, and his hand is Marty McFlying off the image.

  It’s AI, and at least this wave appears to be like a week old. There may have been an older image used as a basis.

  It’s how they urbanised, not why. The why is agriculture. And it wasn’t religion the way we see it today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re thinking of modern marriage and legal status. Marriage existed thousands of years ago separately from religion. It was about inheritance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pink Ranger⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not any of the pink Sentai and the katakana text under the logo is also nonsense. I’d say this is AI but it’s probably older than that, just a good old 'shop.

  Ah, I got mixed up, it’s been a while. He was specifically looking for Peter, but didn’t know Peter was Spidey. You’re right, inexcusably dumb move, there’s no way it would have worked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Superman is a meanie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think he was trying to find which one was Spidey, just trying to cause chaos so that Spidey would show up, wherever he is?

  The Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection has SF3, although I think people were disappointed with that one and I forget why.

  I believe the input lag makes it unplayable online and everyone just stuck to whatever they were already on for that.

  Sony signed a blank check for the full thing like 15 years ago for the exclusivity.

  Uh, Zelda’s always done the tapestry thing though, haven’t they? 'Cause they like being presented as old myths.

  I can only think of Wind Waker and BotW, also a bit of stained glass action in Minish Cap. Most of that was just for the intro, to set up the state of the world, and then nothing (beside the Calamity tapestry in BotW). I suppose this tapestry might be the same thing, it just reprises the opening narration from a voice that might turn out to be no one in particular.

  Zelda games do have a story of course, but they always come up with new elements for the backstory that they then completely abandon. Very rough “pillars” have stuck, like the Goddesses, Sacred Realm, Hylia, but the actual world building elements to make a real kingdom beyond just basic fantasy setting, actual “historical” events like Majora, the Dark Interlopers, Lorule, the Minish - you’re lucky if you see it mentioned in the next Hyrule Historia. They make a new Zelda game, they come up with a new tribe and a new ancient power that becomes the new mechanic, and when the game is done, you never see that again. Maybe you see an Easter egg in Breath of the Wild, at most.

  And it’s not like OoT isn’t enamored with Hyrule’s dark past. If they’re going to expand on anything, it’ll almost certainly be that.

  Most of OoT was almost entirely vibes though, no context for anything. The Forest Temple was literally made for Hyrule Castle material but then cut out and pasted into its own temple, and bam, new place with its own vibe and you’re free to come up with your own backstory - because Nintendo sure won’t do it.

  But yeah, the brand new world redesign (entirely judging by Link’s bed being completely redone and not at all like the OG) makes me think we’ll see more about places like the Shadow and Forest Temples. Not sure they’ll put as much love to actually cement and explain the connection between OoT Rauru and TotK Rauru, actually expand the world’s history beyond just what we saw in the OG, but surely we’ll see a bigger castle town, more inhabited places in the overworld, all that with a bit more information on local cultures like the Sheikah, actually literally anything about the Hyrulean civil war and Ganondorf’s involvement, and so on and I’m huffing hopium again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just saw the Ocarina of Time Remake glimpse at Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but the fact that Nintendo (can’t remember if it was Miyamoto orr Aonuma) lamented that younger TotK players didn’t know how important Rauru is, and this reveal that it’s not a 1 to 1 remake after all, is what’s sending the fandom into heavy hopium that this time, for sure, Nintendo will do what they’ve never done before and actually push the story. The tapestry presentation can certainly be read as supporting this expectation, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just saw the Ocarina of Time Remake glimpse at Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a shit ton of “environmental storytelling” that Zelda games love to throw and never explain; OoT has plenty of that. Just any change to the Shadow Temple would send people wild. It’s always been hard to expect Nintendo to actually do anything about any of it because they never ever do, but this being a full remake similar to FF7 is giving a lot of hope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Games like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You shoot dinosaurs with a bow. Also, the storytelling.

  The passive is the friend who sits there and waits to get tongued.

  It doesn’t say if he gets paid though, or if it’s just for fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION - Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hamaguchi confirmed that each character will have 4 fits, which are apparently used as both costume and job. FF7 allowed anyone to be any job with the materia set you give them, and the fits will apparently give them unique abilities to focus on a job. Time to list all the jobs that exist and spread them across the 8 characters? Mystic Knight / Dark Knight for Cloud, Time Mage for Red XIII, Monk and apparently Black Mage for Tifa, Berserker and Blue Gunner for Vincent… Cait Sith can have the White Mage and be actually relevant now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION - Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They expected to use Reunion for part 2, I think, but then the Crisis Core remake team stole that from under them without asking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Asura’s Wrath, the button masher QTE on rail drew a lot of hate at the time, but I loved the storytelling and the visceral characterization.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The first Hyrule Warriors is based on the premise that all Links and Zeldas through time and space (being basically reincarnations) are destined to be together

  I don’t recall any romantic spin of this in HW, they are tied to each other and will pop up at the same time, but not to fall in love. This is just the continuation of the OoT/SS curse of Demise / Ganondorf, “I’ll follow you both every time you show up”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Link-Zelda ship problem is that all Zeldas are each other’s blood daughters, and all Links are the same “soul of the hero” despite being different people. So they don’t want to have any incest story baked in this reincarnation stuff, and it stays platonic most of the time. This was a retcon (kinda) introduced Skyward Sword, probably to justify why they’d been avoiding it the whole time, previous games like LttP and OoT would only say that the various Links were just from some royal knight families or “the last of the families of knights”.

  Skyward Sword is the very first incarnation of both of these characters (Zelda being the first human incarnation of Hylia, and we don’t know about Link), so they can be in love - it goes out of focus, but it’s assumed to still be there at the end. And then BotW is the very end of the timeline, tens of thousands of years later, so that’s fine, they’re very clearly in love there by the end, and live together in TotK.

  There’s also some hints in the Wind Water timeline (I think in Spirit Tracks but I never played it), because that timeline insists that this is a new hero unrelated to the previous soul of the hero.

  an irrational fear of spaces between words or an allergy to proper kerning

  Yeah uh, medieval language was absolutely not nearly as entrenched in rules and grammar, and absolutely not set in stones. Things changed from one text to another - even within the same text. The same Song of Roland writes that same name in a few different ways, some with spaces, some without, with different letters.

  From the French Wikipedia, count’em :

  Carles (vers 1) ou Charles (28, vers 370), Carles li magnes (68, vers 841) ou Charles li magnes (93, vers 1195), traductions de Carolus magnus, mais aussi Carlemagnes (33, vers 430) ou Charlemaignes (138, vers 1842)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is Alexander the Great so great he gets that name, but not so great that just “Alexander”doesn’t disambiguate him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know when that happened for the English language, but Charlemagne is also what the French language calls him, the earliest variations of it appearing in the Song of Roland (11th c.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you for your attention in this matter.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  check out the graph of the light that is picked up by the 3 types of [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_cell](color cones) (top graph), turns out the wavelength picked by the green cones and the wavelength picked up by the red cones are actually pretty close, not opposite at all.

  The brain normally figures out which color it sees by calculating how much light each type of cone receives. Red green blindness means the brain fails to interpret this distinction. A green light actually still activates the red cones, and vice-versa, but there’s less of a reaction, and the brain can’t compare that to the excitation of each type of cones correctly, so it just thinks that only one type of cone was excited, only a bit less. That’s why one color can be mistaken for the other, only more dull.

  Yeah, fuck artists who come up with a specific thing they want to show people, why can’t they make another playground where they have to guess everything players might want to do and develop all of it. And write, code, animate, voice all the physics and choices.
