Peterson is what a 13 year old who was aged up by 30 years with a machine would sound like.

like it's a comedy movie where a 13 year old trades bodies with is respected professor father and everything he says is awful and stupid but he has a phd so people listen anyway.

that's Peterson

i don't seek out old games that I never played due to never owning a nintendo console, just because hot topic sells a line of merchandise based on them. I also don't quote people who should not be quoted.

I have like 5 copies of ocarina of time. I have every software revision plus a gold cart. oot and mm remain two of the best games ever made and a lot of modern adventure games owe their existence to them.

Jesus christ after all the effort they're going to throw out everything and gently caress everything up by ensuring chromium browsers have even more market share?

At this point if people aren't using edge it's not because of problems with it's engine for crying out loud.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
well, maybe this guy's wrong, i mean his proclamation of edge's death is based on some chromium commits by ms devs, so you know

I, for one, welcome our new mouse overlords.

turns out this isn't 1997 and there's no competitive advantage to owning the rendering engine.

the unfortunate part is that edge's bugs are all in the stupid loving uwp layer, which will undoubtedly continue to suck once pressed into service as a wrapper for chromium.

like, i fully expect ms to do the dumbest most wasteful thing in any circumstance, but maybe ditching edge for chromium isn't the most coherent choice

I'd put them about the same level. awakening is a very different style of game from the n64 entries so I don't really think they can be compared apples to apples.

i never played ocarina of time until like 2012, whereas i played link's awakening when it was new

that probably accounts for my love of link's awakening. ocarina is good though.

i love wind waker too.





link's awakening doesnt have the damned water temple tho soooo

people who hate water temple were stupid children

my favorite thing about oot is the art direction. unlike other early 3d games it didn't try for realism and as a result it still holds up stylistically today while most other titles of the era are eye searingly ugly.

i'd hope they are not dropping edge for simple ecosystem health reasons
