Where the Heart Is

prokopetz:

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.

But what can you redeem them for? Cool prizes?

i was with my mother’s family and they were talking to me about my religious studies major. my great aunt asked me what the definition of hell was, and i responded “well i suppose it depends on who you ask.” and nearly all the protestants in the group decided that hell was “the absence of god” which i suppose is a fair answer, albeit not a universal one. my cousin’s wife was playing with her 3-year-old daughter and she says “well mommy says that hell is a mcdonald’s playplace” asdfghjhgfd

this 3-year-old girl is so fucking hilarious. her mothers have signed her up for a toddler yoga class, and so she has adopted a very unique language. this child also has an imaginary friend named “mom” which is, in her mind, the boss of her two mothers. for example, my cousin’s wife explained to me how her daughter got mad at them one time. the little girl situated herself in the corner of her crib, pretended to type on a cell phone and said  “im writing an email to mom right now and telling her how bad you two are. namaste.”

the family’s Big Theory about “Mom” is that both my cousin and her wife are referred to as “Mommy” and “Mama.” The nickname “Mom” is not used in the house because it would just be confusing. However, when interacting with the world, people tell their daughter that they will “tell her mom” if she is doing something wrong. so this child automatically assumes there is this greater “Mom” figure that is responsible for distributing universal justice. 

To be fair to the toddler, that’s pretty much how religions get started.

Our Mom, who art gonna hear about this,

If there was so much discourse over continents I CAN’T WAIT for you to find out about the south-up map

This is what the earth looks like btw

Ok stop answering to this post with “up and down don’t matter in space” cause north and south are not up and down and their orientation doesn’t matter on earth either. This is legit what the earth looks like.

Well somebody has a superiority complex. Go to a shrink or something idk

Just in case you’re feeling important, our planet also looks like this:

“there’s a very good reason we humans tend to draw north up maps” yeah, colonialism and eurocentrism. anyway south up rules

mapposting time post your favorite projections mine is the pierce quincuncial!!!

My favorite map of Earth

Oh I feel like I should be able to fold up the pierce quincuncial into a sort of ball

did someone say fold up into a ball

Waterman is clearly the best except it needs the origami gold lines

@elodieunderglass You might appreciate Jarke van Wijk’s “Unfolding the Earth: Myriahedral Projections” (site, pdf)

I really like these, thank you. Although my first comment was tongue-in-cheek, I like origami and seaming and folding. These are very satisfying.
