  • Honestly, I loved TotK. But it made me dislike BotW. I love BotW when it released, but TotK made it feel incomplete. So many people were worried about Totk being glorified DLC but what it ended up making was BotW into the early release beta.

    But I do enjoy older games as well. I remember playing a link to the past growing up and getting lost in the puzzles. We actually broke the game in one of the dungeons by using a key on the wrong door and soft locking the game in an unbeatable state. Had to start everything over lol. That was the age when some of these games were actually difficult though. Playing oracle of ages on switch and I am flying through it. With about 30 minutes of play time I got the first dungeon completed pretty easily. I think Zelda has evolved quite a few times and each generation of players has their “golden years”






  • The ringleader, the guy who planned the whole thing, who planned to overthrow the government and assassinate members of congress. He got 18 years in prison. If you think that’s egregious then there’s something wrong with you. Frankly that’s not long enough. People died that day. They wanted to kill others. And you think that most people getting a couple months is too much?


  • Sooo what, another 20k for California and everyone else splits the rest? Sorry, but it’s so difficult to get excited for this when I see these plans push more to California, but on the east coast I have a single fast charger within 30 miles (proof. No filters on PlugShare except limiting it to CCS. Since I don’t own a Tesla NACS is hidden. https://imgur.com/a/TUbTMh0)

    They’ll cram them in every corner of every city, but the people who are worried about range are the ones outside of the city, not on major highways or anything. Btw, one of those doesn’t count since it’s a dealership and is for Nissan owners only.

    Edit: Not sure why this keeps posting to your comment specifically. I’m replying to the main post, but it’s only posting as a reply to you. Weird






  • I don’t feel like this is a 1-1 comparison with the XMPP issue.

    With XMPP users joined servers and then Google started working with the protocol allowing those users contact books to increase by hundreds overnight. Then when Google dropped, many people built work connections through those chats and still wanted to talk so they migrated to Google as it was the simpler platform.

    But fediverse isn’t about talking to individuals for the most part. Mastadon gets the closest, but even then it’s about following updates and quickly getting ideas out to large groups, not the 1-1 communication of a chat. Fediverse is mostly about talking in communities. When threads defederates after getting a bunch of users, those users will lose entire communities instead of just a couple individuals that can switch platforms. And asking a community of hundreds to move to your preferred social isn’t how it works. People go towards communities, not companies. When threads defederates (which will happen) they will lose members, many communities will drop in membership, but I think the fediverse will be in the same spot after that it would be in if threads never existed. Not the same as today. But if we ignore threads and try to project the growth out 5 years. That’s where I think we’ll be if threads defederates in 5 years.
