Okay, so I know the reason the physics in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have so many weird exceptions and edge cases is because the games' designers are concerned foremost with puzzle-crafting, and only secondarily with producing a coherent world model, and nearly every bit of weirdness can be explained by the fact that some puzzle mechanic required the games' physics to work that way. There's simply no deeper unifying logic to be found, and trying to find it is a good way to give yourself a headache.

One of those pieces of weirdness lies in the relative weights of various objects, particularly in relation to Link, the player character. Some objects are incongruously heavy or light for their size because the puzzles in which they appear require them to be, and Link himself is weirdly lightweight, presumably because that was the easiest way to cause him to experience the exaggerated knockback that many puzzles require without making the forces involved ridiculously strong.

Most objects and characters which recur among the two games are at least consistent in this respect. However, it has been empirically determined that in Breath of the Wild, Link weighs the same as 8.5 apples, whereas in Tears of the Kingdom he weighs the same as 10 apples, and now I can't stop myself from wondering what fucking puzzle mechanic required Link to be exactly 1.5 apples heavier.

attractive qualities to look for in a woman

  • on-hit effects that reward her for being aggressive in combat
  • health regeneration, either as a constant passive effect or as lifesteal so she can be self-sufficient without interrupting the pace of her attacks
  • a powerful attack which has her dropping onto the target location from above, either launching her into the air beforehand or requiring her to initiate the move from a high elevation
  • soft hair

what the fuuuuuck

this is a short horror story

Please make sure to reblog this with the explanation you guys:

The toddler doesn’t know Alexa is a name; as far as they’re concerned it’s a word that makes things happen. If the kid was saying “please play baby shark” it would mean literally the same thing to them because they don’t really understand language yet.

The toddler is mimicking adult behavior because they have seen adults say things that start with “Alexa” and have learned that starting a request with “Alexa” makes it more likely to be fulfilled. This kid has learned something about how their world works purely through observation! This isn’t a bad thing! It’s just been misapplied and it’s up to the parents to correct their speech as they grow enough to understand the difference.

  1. That is absolutely an accurate assessment about what is technically happening from a language development perspective
  2. That the child is holding his mother’s face and speaking into her eyes the magic command that makes things happen does not make this any less of a horror story

BIG fucking mood

they seem to not like it when we doubt their credibility so i think the best thing to do now is further trash the reputation of an illegitimate SCOTUS. time to keep crossing that line. attending law school doesn’t mean you can’t have a shit take on something

Questioning the government is literally the founding principle of this country
