Thanks to a very kind and generous friend who let me borrow their Switch and copy of the game, I have just beaten Breath of the Wild. I know, I'm years late to the party, hate me for being poor.
I think it was overall a great game, with a few glaring flaws:
1. Climbing was boring as hell, especially when climbing walls where there's no strategy, you either make it or you don't. And getting super close to the top and then running out of stamina kinda sucks.
2. Weapons breaking was an interesting mechanic for the first few hours of gameplay, but got boring fast. Easy fix: the Master Sword and 4 signature weapons of the various peoples shouldn't break or run out of energy or whatever.
3. Way too much empty space. I get it, you're trying to make the world feel expansive, but there's a limit.
4. Food was both super annoying to make and super OP in use. Literally pause time to eat a full steak dinner and go back to fighting like nothing's wrong. Also the game kept trying to get me to try a bunch of different complicated recipes with all sorts of side quests, but why do complicated when radish + meat = full heal plus some extra?

Through careful cultivation of my "Following" list I've managed to get the frequency of untagged dick on my dashboard nearly to pre-2018 levels, but in spite of my best efforts the proportion of untagged robot dick in particular remains disappointingly low. I can't help but feel that something has irrevocably been lost.

donna tartt is really good at writing books that make you think “oh, these characters GOTTA have gay sex” only for you to find out that they’ve been having gay sex the WHOLE TIME and it certainly hasn’t helped

every time i interact with the silmarillion i get weirdly excited about the fact that the authorial intent is that it's a translation of historical accounts. it's a tertiary source! none of it is first hand. it makes it so much more interesting. was the legendarium a mannish tradition? what parts of these were written by pengolodh? by rumil? what loremaster has recorded this? would there be bias in the accounting? can i trust what i'm reading, from this viewpoint, this many years after it would have been written?
what has been mythologised, what has been sanitised, what is third-hand written on rumour? it's such an interesting thing to consider.

Oh didn’t you hear? Tech is actually alive, Omega took his old broken glasses with her as a reminder to be careful, and she didn’t have to tell Hunter to watch over him because Phee is doing a great job of that on her own. He’s alive and totally fine, living with Phee and making algorithms about bingo and has new glasses. They’re pink btw and he loves them, thanks for asking

people are now arguing in the tags of my knight post about whether any knights actually rescue any maidens and claiming that they don't as if yvain doesn't have to run away from a man who wants him to marry his daughter as thanks for saving her in order to go and make his appointment to rescue a different maiden because his schedule for rescuing young women is so busy

in light of the recent discourse surrounding gale's godhood ending i'd like to bring back this post.
and also further add that:
enjoying an ending which serves to illustrate how a character would behave in terrible (quite literally dehumanizing) circumstances is a-okay. bad endings have always been an integral part of most choiced-based games and serve a crucial narrative purpose. it ultimately doesn't matter whether you enjoy gale's godhood ending for the tragic narrative of two devoted lovers losing their humanity together, as a testament to gale's groundbreaking talent/intellect, perseverance, and success... or for some other reason entirely.
it's your game and you are free to play it however you like.
the issue many of us have is the vehement denial and disregard of this ending indeed being one of the worst possible outcomes for gale. despite a good chunk of the game's overall narrative being built around the topic of breaking past the conditioning that the companions have suffered through their abuse and subsequent trauma. every single companion's story arc tackles these topics. it's about them finding their own path and realizing that they've always carried inherent worth. that they don't need to fulfill a specific role or reach for even greater heights to reach contentment or find purpose. sometimes your first instinctual desire isn't necessarily what's best for you.
the issue is that people choose to simply ignore all that, claiming it to be "black and white thinking" while the game's structure, the entire dialogue, as well as the game files, repeatedly prove the opposite. if gale coming back to offer tav ascension, followed by them sharing a tender kiss amidst a pink-hued sky is enough for you to consider this a "good ending" i'd urgently recommend doing another run to catch up on all the nuance that you've apparently been missing.
now once more, for the people in the back:
enjoying a bad ending doesn't mean that you are "a bad person." whatever you enjoy in fiction isn't (necessarily) an indication of your moral integrity. you don't have to justify your in-game choices, nor grasp at straws and spread misinformation to interpret the outcome in your favor. you are more than free to enjoy gale's godhood ending for what it is trying to represent.

totally random mononoke thoughts, and.... potentially unpopular opinion? but however the two sequel mononoke movies go, what I really don't want above anything else is like, a kusuriuri backstory. or things explaining in depth how kusu (and that whole system, because I guess there was a lore dump semi-recently, but I personally don't like the gist of it so I've been ignoring it lol) and his powers work. for me, kusuriuri is such a compelling character because we know nothing about him, and yet he continues to exist, just like many enigmatic forces of nature in that world.
I wouldn't mind there being little hints or implications, but any sort of definitive backstory or lore explanation would genuinely disappoint me lol. I don't wanna know!

Theory: you got curious and learned how you theoretically could make an explosive but have yet to use that information
It's ridiculous how spot on this is LOL
I mean. It's really not hard, and there's a lot of ways to do it
