  • He’s not supposed to be still there. He is, but we can’t know that until TotK, and blood moons had stopped until he was reawakened.

    If you just take BotW as a whole, you’ve saved the world.

    I hated how original Xenoblade X (I haven’t finished the switch remake yet, so not sure about it) had a “fake ending” that didn’t solve anything, and didn’t even explain why shit was still going on, just so the game could continue indefinitely.


  • It’s not limited to those two, it’s very common, generally the norm, not having a postgame state when the stakes are too high. You’ve got two choice :

    • let the player come back to it after you beat the big bad, so you have to create new interactions to try and reflect that, and not change the world significantly so all the stuff that’s left to do is still available and makes sense. It often feels like saving the world achieved nothing.

    • show in the ending that the player actually achieved something big, to the point coming back after it would not be the same game, basically.

    How would you explain returning to BotW after killing the source of all shit and still having hostile guardians and blood moons resurrecting monsters?


  • I don’t remember which movie did that but they had a subpar rating, like 2/5 I think, from one review in particular.

    They did a poster with a big wall of reviews behind the actors, names of magazines with the ratings they gave them, mostly choosing 4 stars/80% reviews and up, obviously. That one was there too… behind a guy, perfectly readable but just a bit obscured, looking like the rest of the (inexistent) stars are hidden behind him.



  • Though to be honest almost any rimworld trader will happily buy several tons of 5% crap that will deteriorate into nothingness in the next 5 minutes.

    My favourite part about the elders scrolls shopkeepers was in Morrowind, where anyone you could barter with would immediately equip whatever silly hat you just sold them.






  • when asked to imagine a circle, I just imagine the concept of a circle. It has no color, no texture, no substance.

    I mean, I don’t have aphantasia, and if you ask me to imagine a circle, with no other details, I won’t get most of that either right away. If anything I guess I’d tend to “see” it as a black thin outline, i guess because that’s how it appears commonly in math problem figures. But I certainly wouldn’t make up a texture or material for it if it wasn’t mentioned.

    Now if you’re talking about a green and red tartan circle that smells like rotten cheese, yeah sure, I can summon that.








  • Haven’t seen any Ranking of Kings mention, I thought it was cool, in a twisted fairytale with weird bullshit kind of way.

    Harsh world, some very tortured characters doing terrible things, and the most harmless kind-hearted protagonist you could imagine just winning over and redeeming everyone.

    Don’t watch the spin-off series though, it’s uninspired filler episode shit.
