    I'm glad people are finally waking up to this. These settlements should have always had the Crimea treatment and nothing less.

    Look at it this way: this lets them at least "control" what inevitably happens when foreign capital flows in. If they wait for Trump to do another decapitation strike, it's going to be a complete free-for-all for US capital.

    I think this is a prudent move in light of everything.

    You know, there's probably a couple of stories out there about people who made it big off of a website or something and then… realized they have generational wealth now and decided it's enough. People like Craig here and MySpace Tom are probably living their best life instead of doing an extended Sephiroth impression like the average tech billionaire now.

    So what are they using to detect browsers and social media? If you trust your users to sideload it's oddly infantilizing to add a "patent pending" method of detecting two arbitrary app categories

    Of course, bear in mind you need a New Nintendo 3DS for the C-stick.

    Another cool thing I did was use rehid, where I mapped the ZL/ZR buttons to the touchscreen only items, and the down button on the d-pad to the Ocarina. Best OoT experience I've had if you ask me.

    I played OoT 3D Master Mode last year with a modded free-camera and gotta say, with a free camera OoT really holds up. But I'm never opposed to different takes on the same story.

    I have the cartridge in my 3DS and the original is on Nintendo Switch Online. And people will still get angry because that's just what they do unfortunately.

    Some thoughts:

    • This was leaked ahead of time, kind of ruining the surprise
    • Art style looks like it's favoring realism in the vein of Twilight Princess/The Wii U tech demo again
    • The logo typography matches Breath of the Wild. This probably means some game design elements may be ported back and this will prove controversial to classic Zelda fans.
    • This will prove controversial regardless so I don't know why I singled that out.

    I was able to try EyeMeasure just now and even with inaccuracy caveats I think I'm in the 68 range or so, which is actually a touch higher than mean + standard deviation, meaning I have the exact opposite concern to the other folks here!

    Regardless I didn't even know about PD and SH before this, gotta ask for more accurate measurements next time at the ophthalmologist's. Thank you so much! (cc @Interesting)
