Real talk, your precious 3d Zeldas are Zelda 2's spiritual successor and that's why Ocarina of Time had dark link, ironknuckles, lizalfos, volvagia (aka danger noodle), sages named after its towns, dungeons called temples, and complex sword combat.

"Nintendo pretends z2 doesn't exist" my ass. The whole series is modeled in its image now, it was just ahead of its time.

I adore this comic by by @elisegravel.

In which I seek to name something I keep encountering...

Here is a statement from a West Virginia Linguistics professor whose entire department has been eliminated. It provides additional context to the Provost's decision to cancel 38 majors and the tenure and untenured faculty lines associated with them.

This is why they are so poor at absorption compared to the claims and why doctors struggle with what constitutes heavy bleeding. The research was published LAST MONDAY. A week ago today.

Once upon a time, there was a community called Little Details on LiveJournal. It was a place where fiction writers of all kinds could ask for help with their fact-checking and research. It was a huge, amazing resource before the collapse of LiveJournal took it down.

I recently decided to try resurrecting it on Dreamwidth. It's now open and ready for questions. Come check it out, and boost if you're so inclined!

This is a *fascinating* concept for games studies - "quotes" of a game that don't just show you a clip of gameplay, but actually let you take control and try it out. It trims the ROM down to only what's needed to run the quote, so this might even pass a fair dealing/fair use test in court if it came down to it - just like quoting a passage of text, or a clip of a movie.
