Highlights/Thoughts from Today's Play (Arrival at Lookout Landing to Reaching the Stormwind Ark):

This game needed DLC so badly. Such a missed opportunity.

I missed Hestu the first time I played, didn't get to upgrade my inventory until reaching Korok Forest. I had no idea he had a mini quest for you if you met him earlier.

Panic blood moon immediately upon reaching Rito Village. I never got one in BotW, but I remember getting multiple in one in-game day my first playthrough of TotK.

Even the short jaunt from Lookout to Rito Village feels so bad. Partially from having zero stamina, but also, missing Tulin. Truly the only good Sage ability.

Welp. I finally caved and started Tears of the Kingdom. Haven't touched it since 100%'ing my first file a year ago.

"Bake for 10 - 12 minutes" is obviously code for "bake for exactly 11 minutes."

Lou works fast. That is impressive.

WWWO Fireside Chat: ep31 "The Souvenir"

Thinking about Silver's Namecloak

So, inspired by the whole "silvering a mirror" thing, I was thinking more about Silver's namecloak. Specifically, the fact that silver quite famously tarnishes, and the thematic parallel between the loss of shine and the Suvi+Silver breakup. What's more, the process of silver tarnishing has been accelerated by the additional sulfur in the air post-Industrial Revolution, and wizardry/the Citadel seems to be pretty much the magical Industrial Revolution. So, there's this crazy parallel between sulfur pollution tarnishing silver and the Citadel driving a wedge between Suvi and Silver.

IDK it's not totally coherent yet, but it did set off the gears in my brain.

I just got around to playing it, and I'm just going to say: close enough.

I really hope the new Solomon we get in Eastward Octopia is just the DLC's version of Tom Nook. No grand scheme, just trading murder for capitalism.
