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

 :fbm

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?

Quote
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?

The question is, where does it exist in the timeline?!
Quote from: viciouskillersquirrel, post: 19062037, member: 5803
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.
Quote from: giraffereyn, post: 19066461, member: 52217
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.
Quote from: Zero-ELEC, post: 19066779, member: 236
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.
Quote from: giraffereyn, post: 19066829, member: 52217
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
Quote from: Zero-ELEC, post: 19066929, member: 236
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.
Quote from: Hero Alice, post: 19067017, member: 3570
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.
Quote from: Zero-ELEC, post: 19067073, member: 236
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.
Quote from: giraffereyn, post: 19067094, member: 52217
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.
Quote from: giraffereyn, post: 19067179, member: 52217
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.
Quote from: giraffereyn, post: 19067197, member: 52217
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?
Quote from: ILikeFeet, post: 19067246, member: 1354
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
Quote from: giraffereyn, post: 19067303, member: 52217
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.
Quote from: ILikeFeet, post: 19067467, member: 1354
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.
Quote from: giraffereyn, post: 19067509, member: 52217
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.
Quote from: Noppie, post: 19067611, member: 13640
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.
Quote from: giraffereyn, post: 19067897, member: 52217
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.

After wasting a lot of time trying to find out if "attendees of those same mosques withdrew 600 of their children from school in protest" I have determined that I wasted a lot of time.

I've also determined that the mosques vandalized are in different parts of Birmingham with closer community schools.

I also realized I have no idea how the schooling system works in the UK, are community schools like public schools that give all kids within the community access to education for free? Are they private schools? WTF?

Anyway, these cowards should fix their weird school system.

After wasting a lot of time trying to find out if "attendees of those same mosques withdrew 600 of their children from school in protest" I have determined that I wasted a lot of time.

I've also determined that the mosques vandalized are in different parts of Birmingham with closer community schools.

I also realized I have no idea how the schooling system works in the UK, are community schools like public schools that give all kids within the community access to education for free? Are they private schools? WTF?

Anyway, these cowards should fix their weird school system.

The only weird thing about our system is we call private (posh) schools public schools.
Orthodox followers of religions don't like homosexuals very much.
That's not news is it? Its pretty likely a significant portion of the congregation of a defaced mosque wouldn't particularly want their primary school teaching their kids about homosexuality.
Its pretty likely most parents wouldn't want sexuality being taught at primary school at all, as 4 - 11 is maybe a bit young for that.

i don't think it's about laying down the specifics of having a good rimming game to 8 year olds as much as it is to establish the idea that if a man and man hold hands it's not some hideous contortion of the natural order.

I mean... that's really an integration problem more than anything.
A parent can tell their kids homosexuality is a moral sin all they want, but when the entirety of the media those kids are steeped in are saying the exact opposite, they've got at best an uphill battle.
Recent immigrants might cling to 'the old ways' but their kids don't have to, and chances are probably won't.

Like, a devout christian woman was on telly this morning in relation to this story and ended up saying being gay is "a choice" and is currently being torn to shreds in the press for saying that as a result.
There's a line where you have to respect a parents beliefs and their right to teach those beliefs to their kids, even if you disagree with those beliefs.

I dunno. I can't help but feel the best time to bring up the nuanced and complicated concepts that make up human sexuality is when a kid is old enough to start forming their own worldview, which would be secondary school rather than primary school.

I'm not a child psychologist, but:

1) Gay and Lesbian couples aren't nuanced. Men sometimes like Men and women sometimes like Women.

2) I would think it's better to introduce these really simple ideas as soon as they start mucking about with relationships in general. Primary school kids already talk about their boyfriends and girlfriends because media influence, so it's not like this is all a foreign concept to them.

Also, fuck parents who want to impose indoctrinated bullshit on their kids. Also, fuck anyone who wants to tow the bullshit line of "respect cultural differences" when it comes to human rights.

There's a significant difference between indoctrinating your kids with a laziness around doing the dishes versus "homosexuals aren't real".

You know what I mean.

yeah, but I don't know where specifically you draw the line.

Yeah, I do think tolerating other peoples beliefs is important, up to the point where they infringe on other peoples rights. You can tell a kid at school theres nothing wrong with being gay, but if they go home and their parents say "nope, it is" whos the kid actually gonna believe?

Its probably too late to teach the parents they're wrong, and its probably too early to teach a kid why their parents are wrong until the point where they start questioning their parents anyway and begin forming their own view of the world. I don't know when exactly that is, but it seems more like 13-14 to me than 10-11.

I think it's important to recognize that a lot of what any parent teaches their kids is indoctrination, whether right or wrong

Kids aren't old enough to understand all the context so at a certain level it always boils down to "look, just accept this because I told you, alright?"

Indoctrination has negative baggage but it just means teaching something without encouraging critical thought surrounding that thing

There are plenty of parents that indoctrinate their kids that homosexuality is fine, and that's fine, because they're in no position to examine the subject critically and arrive at the right conclusion

The Disney Fox merger is a rollercoaster.

Quote
Just quit. All you do is bitch and moan about Marvel and it’s fanbase. Maybe stick to your niche corner of the net then.

Quote
Imagine being in a thread bitching and crying about Disney when att / time warner and Comcast / universal mergers exist. Were where you then ?

I don't think we had an endless stream of threads or users celebrating those fucking mergers with shit like "we won, best day of my life" tho.

Quote
Quote
The fucking hot takes are absolutely astounding.

Fox was selling, they didn’t care to who, would you rather have an entertainment company by the morning your local ISP? Think about that for a minute

Disney knows the value of movies and TV Shows they won’t just cut shit to curb shit they need to make money off their acquisitions so Animation, Searchlight, etc won’t be going anywhere.

It’s truly shocking to see how many people don’t know what a monopoly actually is.
Universal Pictures
Paramount
Warner Bros.
Columbia Pictures
Blumhouse
A24
Lions gate
MGM
Netflix
Apple
Amazon

All make entertainment too yet somehow Disney has a monopoly? Ok...?

Yes it’s sucks people will lose their jobs but I’ve never seen this forum up in arms when other mergers happen, and they happen frequently so maybe lose the high horse routine because you can’t bitch about this one and ignore the one she that happen everyday

you extrapolated all of that from my one word post, which said "gross"?

Your anger is incredibly misplaced. Disney is not the villian here and it really seems like you're just following a script, complete with the predictable slam at the very end at people liking that Marvel got their properties back as a side benefit.

Same guy...

Quote
What would you have people do? Cry and lament about things that may-or-may-not actually happen that they cannot change in any way shape or form, or actually look at the positive aspects of this - that the best entertainment company just got even better, and we're finally going to see accurate versions of these oft-maligned characters.

You can teach kids things without indoctrinating them.

Like GreatSage was saying it depends on the age of the kids and whether they're old enough to be properly taught

The key being that you don't arrive at the fallacious conclusion "all religion is indoctrination but all LGBT acceptance is lovingly taught by approaching the subject with critical thinking"

There are parents out there who say "trans women are women, don't make me say it again, now eat your fucking peas"

If a child is "indoctrinated" into a scientifically correct conclusion (say, Vaccines save lives) is that the same as homophobic indoctrination?

Also, kids are smarter than you're giving them credit for and start coming to their own conclusions about things based on peers and media long before secondary school. It's important to steer them in the right direction early.

In this specific instance, it's not even a matter of if the parents are correct, we know they are incorrect and morally wrong to boot. In these instances I think it's important for the school to step in and be a lightly guiding rudder.

I just told my kid that some girls love boys, and some girls love girls. It’s the ones that don’t love anyone that you need to look out for, I said. Them, and the muslims anyway.

I’d like to think I did it right.

Like... if I had kids who'd come home and started saying evolution is just someones guess, and that its just as likely the bible is literally true, the earht is only a few thousand years old and dinosaur bones are just a little test god put there to see if you're faithful enough because some teacher decided they wanted to go off-book and start teaching what they think its important for kids to know, I would be fucking livid

I mean, like I said, I can't think of a single soap that doesn't have openly gay characters treated exactly the same as straight characters. British media is pretty progressive on that front, and good luck telling a kid dumbledore is a bad person because reasons.

It doesn't need to be exactly the same if it's something that still shouldn't be done

There's enough false information out there without breeding mistrust by constantly saying "because I said so"

The first time anything you're told from someone like that starts to ring false, you start to question everything they told you, including the correct things, and you can't trust everyone to end up circling back to correctness after that trust is broken
