Hyrule Field was designed to be too big to cross in that first day... Getting locked out of the castle and fighting off Stalchildren is supposed to show you how much more dangerous the outside world is from Kokiri. How much more of that intentional design no longer matters? :(

Drawbridge no longer raises at night, it seems like. It's more convenient but I'm not a fan of the change

Women calling little boys "would-be incels" should be met with the same contempt and disgust as men calling little girls "future whores" or other sexualized insults. WILDLY inappropriate way to speak of children.

The first novel I ever loved was the survival classic Hatchet, but recently I’ve learned that a *lot* of women despise this book, and see it is as something they were forced to read in school to entice the idiot illiterate boys in their English class. I dove into that tension!

The attitudes of these early interviewees are frankly disgusting. My class read Hatchet in 3rd grade. We also read Tuck Everlasting. I enjoyed the first; I HATED the second. Did I once think that the girls in my class were somehow lesser for enjoying TE? No. That's idiotic.

Different books are for different people. Girls get plenty of books. Hell, YA basically belongs to them now. Boys deserve books too. They should be allowed and encouraged to read, rather than shamed for their interests or "reeducated" to shun those natural inclinations.

We need more Hatchets, more Treasure Islands, more Ender's Games. I'm trying to do my part. For the past few years I've been working on a musical for boys and their fathers. It's very good, but I sometimes wonder if anyone will have the courage to produce it? I guess we'll see.

The level of cope from Epic is unbelievable. EGS was never a competitor to Steam because it lacks 95% of Steam's FUNCTIONALITY. Giving out free games does not excuse the terrible UI and bare-bones services. Last I checked it had no chat, no friends lists, no community features.

A former Epic Games dev says Steam has become almost impossible to compete with, even if someone builds a better launcher. Kiaran Ritchie argues that developers aren’t really paying Valve’s 30% cut for its services, they’re paying for access to Steam’s huge player base. He believes most Steam users simply have no reason to move to another store, even if it offers a better experience. “They played capitalism so well they broke it.” Ritchie says that Steam has become so dominant that developers can’t afford to ignore it, leaving them with no choice but to accept the 30% cut.

They relied entirely on the promise of the 90% cut for devs, but 90% of a puny audience doesn't compete with 70% of a massive user base. And instead of trying to increase that user base by improving their product, Epic just whines and complains about the unfairness of it all.

You forgot Act 4, where the Riddler gets on Tiktok and blows up a sea wall

Here is a 30,000 foot view of screenplay structure. Act 1: I have a problem. Act 2A: I think I'll solve it. Act 2B: This is harder than I thought. Act 3: The sacrifice. Keep it simple. Structure is just the framework. Scenes and characters are where you cook.

Thinking about things like "notary public," "body politic," phrases where English puts the modifier after the noun like a Romance language. There must be some other examples

This tweet led me to discover that “treasure trove” falls under this category, with “trove” coming from the French for “found,” but common usage over time has forced it to become a noun. I’m eager to be annoying about this one in the future

One thing that’s cool about every ecosystem having its own bird species is that means every ecosystem has its own soundtrack. Swamp music vs forest music vs mountain music. The world is so awesome

“We distinguish between ‘creating’ something and the ‘labor’ involved in the process... The tricky part is that this labor can actually be quite enjoyable." There's my issue with using AI to 'create'. The labor of creation is a spiritual endeavor, not something to be avoided.
