Imagine taking $80k to buy dildos and goof around in front of green-screen with your LEL SO RANDOM XD friends. This isn't a game, it's a series of video clips strung together. Even someone like Zoe, with no object skills should be able to mash this together in Unity or Godot. Last I heard she gave up trying to make the "game" part of the game and was going to try to make a series of webpages with embedded video clips.

I presume part of her original plan was to suck some soydevs cock to get free work out of him, but there are no takers this time.

Rami is an idiot. It's the worst when he starts talking about anything programming related. He constantly says stuff that is blatantly 100% false and all the gamejournos and pleb gamers just drink it up.

Eg. blaming the Internet itself for Anthem's launch issues, claiming it was nothing to do with EA or the developers. It was later revealed that EA programmers had designed their launcher to effectively DDoS their servers.

[HaughtyFrank]

The absolute worst thing to come out of Epic Store's practices is not the moneyhatted exclusives or any other of their practices; it's how they've opened a rift between developers and consumers and put them in opposing sides of a shitty war. There's been more vitriol and animosity between players, indie developers and storefronts in the past handful of months than in the prior five years put together. :/

I wonder how the idea for this collaboration came about. Did one of the indie devs throw the idea out there on a whim not expecting it to go anywhere, and then Miyamoto turned out to be a fan of CotND and said "Hell yes" (only it would be in Japanese, so like, "Hellfu yesfu").

White people got complacent after WW2. The idea that the source of evil and bigotry had been conquered by war was foolishly reinforced to placate those with privilege. Straight white Christians had a boogeyman they could pin as a scapegoat forever. Minorities all over the world have been screaming what needs to be done and too many people wanted to live in ignorant bliss. Now it's coming back to bite hard at humanity again and once again people of color have to bare the burden of a naive society.

Italian driver hijacks and torches school bus full of children

 

Good news though, the kids all got out and were uninjured other than some smoke inhalation

Why the heck isn't there an era thread on this?

The driver, a 47-year-old Italian citizen originally from Senegal, has been arrested.

"No-one will survive," the driver was alleged to have said.

"It was a miracle, it could have been a massacre," Milan chief prosecutor Francesco Greco was quoted as saying.

A teacher who had been on the bus said the suspect - named by police as Ousseynou Sy - was known to be angry about Italy's immigration policy and about the deaths of migrants in the Mediterranean.

"He shouted, 'Stop the deaths at sea, I'll carry out a massacre'," police spokesman Marco Palmieri said.

 

So...kind of an attempt at an opposite-Christchurch, at least without guns or any bloodshed

How does ree look at this fortunately failed attempt at terrorism?

Immediately the right weaponizes the news saying immigrants are dangerous and we need to close borders (the guy had italian citizenship for 15 years).
Now the left has recouped from the blow and they're starting with the "this is actually the white man's fault" articles.

Is... Is this canon?

  UH-OH

The question is, where does it exist in the timeline?!

Going by art style similarities, I like to think it exists in the aftermath of Freshly Picked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland which, while never officially placed, hints at taking place in the restored land created by TWW’s Great Deku Tree and the Koroks, hundreds of years into the future. I believe the Great Deku Tree of TWW and FPTRR are one and the same.

So in short, Adult timeline in the restored land of Hyrule (and not New Hyrule, which is the setting of Spirit Tracks).

EDIT: Just dawned on me that it was introduced with Link’s Awakening music and will be cross-promoted as a way of hyping up the remake. In that case, Downfall timeline is most likely.

What makes them mainline though? Before the timeline reveal they were third-party Zelda games with a tenuous connection to the Link and Zelda we knew in Lttp or Ocarina. I think Hyrule Warriors fits better than some first party Zelda games like Triforce Heroes and Four Swords Adventures on the GC.

I'm sort of playing a game here but it's interesting what fans consider mainline game or spin-off or what Nintendo would call a game that fits a timeline or is deserving of the title The Legend of Zelda.

Some people use excuses to deride the canonicity of a game and even make up categories just to shut out certain game for an argument.

Mainline is easy to determine: if the game's title "The Legend of Zelda" followed by a subtitle, it's a mainline game. That's it. This is excluding the CD-i games (which Nintendo had no control over) and the BS game, though there's a good chance that Ancient Stone Tablets was originally meant to be a mainline game, given it directly makes allusion to Zelda 4 happening concurrently. The format, however, doomed it to obscurity.

Also, there was no "timeline reveal", the timeline was a thing from the beginning, though retcons changed some things later, there was always direct relations between the games.

Okay so you already have a caveat to your own rule. The CD-i game totally count as they used the same name. I don't know how much control Nintendo had with the Capcom Zelda game but they would fall under your issue with the CD-i games. Why make the category in the first place?

Why does a game disappearing due to a format rule it out? This is not as simple as you laid it out to be lol

No, it is fairly simple. The Capcom games were directly supervised by Nintendo (and eventually much of the staff of the teams that did those moved on to Nintendo) and had the name. And Nintendo was much loser with their IPs in the 90s, hence the CD-i games, which were unsupervised completely.

As for BS The Legend of Zelda: The Ancient Stone Tablets, the fact that the game could not be played afterwards and was only ever available in a limited add-on to a console during certain periods... gee, I wonder why that didn't stick around? (Also I now realise that the game's title actually doesn't fit with the structure I laid down there, it being BS The Legend of Zelda not The Legend of Zelda, lol)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The name is important, is all I'm saying. They've never given the name to something that wasn't cared for properly.

For me, calling something "mainline" actually has more to do with gameplay than story canonicity. This game has the whole rhythm and roguelike thing going for it, which is different enough from other Zelda games that I'd call it a spinoff rather than a mainline game. Hyrule Warriros, Triforce Heroes, and Four Swords are also different enough gameplay wise that I would classify them as spinoffs.

In my eyes, being mainline/spinoff is completely independent from whether the game is canon or not. Some spinoffs are canon (Four Swords), others are not (Hyrule Warriors). The definition of canon basically just comes down to whatever the owners of the series want it to be. If I had to guess, the main Zelda story writers at Nintendo headquarters won't consider Cadence of Hyrule to be canon. But you never know I guess, maybe they will.

The definition of mainline and spin-off also comes down to whatever the people behind the scenes want it to be.

Tri Force Heroes and Four Swords are mainline.

Hyrule Warriors and Cadence of Hyrule are spin-offs.

I like this approach a lot, but we run into issues with the top-down Zelda and the Third-person 3D games as they play very differently yet are the two formats that retain the most influence over what some people consider the canon that matters.

I wouldn't put the onus on the developers either, as stylish action, survival horror and, lightning speed action were invented to sell more units not to make it easier to find or categorize a game.

Again not so simple if you have to explain all this to someone asking why some games are or aren't canon, part of the series, or worth ignoring.

Also the BS Zelda game being unplayable would make a lot of The Legend of Zelda games join it's ranks as time is the only factor that keep that game where it is. The Oracle games and Ocarina and a ton of Zelda game would not be canon under your rule because they would have been stuck on aging hardware had Nintendo not repackaged them on modern consoles like the 3DS and the Switch (with Links Awakening, another game that was just as lost as the BS Zelda.)

What I am getting at is the more rigid you think your rules are, then the more inflammatory you have to get to shut out a game from discussion.

Obviously, I think names are a totally valid way to collect a series of games or media together, but can't cover all the games that people consider mainline or whatever distinction someone might invent. "I only play the 3D Zeldas" or "I play the mainline game, so only the 2D titles that look like the original Legend of Zelda.

That's one way to go at it. though whats the purpose of the category? Don't play the games Nintendo doesn't list as canon? When discussing mainline canonicity or story content, should we ignore Triforce Heroes? Does link know anything about Crossbows?

Now you're talking about a super-small subsection of players who only cares about canon. Not even Nintendo gives a shit about canon. BotW is canon but was made in a way to flip the bird at discussions on canon

But... you made a post describing yourself as that small subset. You're talking about yourself.

All i'm saying is that the categories are arbitrary and it's weird that people use arbitrary rules to bully games into obscurity or out of top ten lists or canonicity.

I don't know how you got that out of my post. My point was Nintendo outright tells us in the games are canon or not. And they also stopped caring about canon themselves. BotW pretty much shows that.

People who dont play games that aren't canon is very small, as we can tell by the games' sales. Gameplay style has more an effect on sales than whether or not it slots into the story.

Im not talking about canon. I'm asking why we make our categories. Canon is one way.

I argue that Cadence of Hyrule is also a mainline game, mostly because the Capcom games get to be included in mainline game discussions and those games were made under similar circumstances as Cadence.

I'd say most people use the gameplay of the games as an indicator for mainline or not. Hyrule Warriors? That's a spin-off Warriors game. OoA/OoS? Mainline, traditional gameplay. In the end it doesn't matter and you do you.

Gameplay is one of the better ways to describe what kind of game you like because categorizing preference is one of the fastest ways to get across what you like about a series, especially with a series as broad as The Legend of Zelda.

However, i have a problem with pretty much every argument everyone makes in an attempt to simplify things. In the case of Hyrule Warriors, calling it a spin-off based on the gameplay means that there is a main series at all, and that there is a default gameplay. So if HW is a spin-off so are all the 3D Zeldas as the original Zelda is a top-down game.
