She hasn’t been exposed to weird speed running poo poo yet so it’ll be super funny to see her reaction after it has literally taken her 2 years to get through botw.

Like, this kid has a custom cross stitch of the original LoZ item crawl from the attract screen of the very first game on her wall. She wears zelda stuff all the time. Hell, she was Link a couple halloweens ago. Kid loves her video games.

I’m going to wait until she beats it to show her though.

I had a strategy guide as a kid for ff3(6) that was as thick as a drat dictionary, like an inch and a half thick. It had a big sword on the cover with a golden dragon hilt and was all UNOFFICIAL, drat right it was unofficial like 90% of the poo poo it described wasn't even in the game

It was basically a gamefaqs troll guide but printed

fyi i know the story with that guide: they wanted to be the first official guide on the shelves since guide books for rpgs were decent business back in the day. but they didnt have any kind of official relationship with square that'd let them play a pre-release version of the game and write a guide based on that.

but ff6 had come out in japan well before it came out in the us.

so what they did was just import a bunch of the japanese strategy guides, not knowing any japanese, and just sort of guess what the guides were telling them and write that down.

A lot of people have been expecting this to happen, Jeffrey and Astral included - and both they and many other people have been preparing for it.

It's just a pity that imgur pulled the trigger on it before most people have managed to get replacement solutions up and going, because the biggest problem is one of diskspace.

That being said, I don't think scraping SA for URIs is the best idea - I'm hoping we can get a database dump of them in the other thread.
