All I have to say is that I sincerely doubt that From Software and MiHoYo were looking at H:ZD when they made their very successful open world games. That's my only point, you are allowed to have your opinions about H:ZD - I'm not saying that you're wrong.

BotW completely changed the open world landscape. Yes it was a bad Zelda game, it was by no means a mediocre game. That first experience is fucking magical, and has been recreated to great effect in Elden Ring and Genshin Impact (I shouldn't need to point out how popular both of those games are).

You can dislike that it was a bad Zelda game. Calling it mediocre is just patently false. Granted, yes - I've called the game 'Horizon: Zero Awards' because it definitely should have won at least something. However, it was not more impactful than BotW.

The shadows on the mountain kind of look like a doll sitting down, at least to me

The fucks a bawg?

Some people like to see the things they spend time on finished.

I can understand why it might make more sense, but that just isn't how it's used in common parlance.

You can say that, if it is easier for you to communicate that way. Just understand that you might throw some people off.

Edit: I would like to clarify, I'm not at liberty to give anyone permission to use any word. I meant that it's perfectly acceptable usage.

Except couple bits toast doesn't roll off the tongue nearly as well as couple bits of toast.

Edit: that being said, I'm not a caveman - they're fucking slices of toast. You want me to make some toast and tear off a couple bits for you?

They're literally creating strawmen in the comments below this thread. This person is actually unhinged.

Great, I've got you tagged as sea lion now.

Just like you can say your claims are substantiated, I can say they aren't. I don't have to read any of what you've written, I can simply claim 'it's all bullshit'.

So that's what I'm doing. This whole book you've written is complete bullshit. Maybe if you'd provided sources for your claims it wouldn't be so easy to dismiss you, but you're more concerned with getting other people to write your essay for you.

To your edit: are you really surprised when the show was geared towards offending the only audience the show would ever have?

The show is hot dogshit, made for an audience that doesn't exist. Of course the response was vitriolic, it is quite literally the only outcome for a show so poorly thought out.

it's a close race

Trump's base doesn't care about how he performs

You're so, so close it hurts.

Yes, it's a close race. Yes, Trump's base doesn't care about how he performs. So why would you think that, this late into the race, a debate is for anyone other than undecided individuals? Do you think that Fox Entertainment continuing to do what Fox Entertainment does is going to convince undecideds? No, otherwise they wouldn't be undecided.

Isn't this the natural course of things as winter rolls in?

Are we surprised that the app formerly known as Musical.ly has serious problems with children being extorted, sexually or otherwise?

Does no one pay attention?

I'm amazed you can infer anything from this 'question'.

.. huh?

Reassess is one of those words that just doesn't in my brain sometimes.

That's all I have to say, carry on.

Harsh delivery, but I'm inclined to agree.

No, I'm not the one struggling to remember what I've said. That's you lil' guy, in case you were confused - I'd imagine you are.

I can never really tell, truth be told. I just write them off as either being brainwashed or a bad actor. Same treatment either way.

Yes because money is the only thing that matters in life, so what if my kids get psychic damage from having guns go off near them? They probably won't die. Gotta get into college so I can retire!

You kinda dumb dog, like the people responding to you are also dumb but you're particularly dumb.
