Did some modicum of time pass between Link killing Ganondorf?

The bird kid that greets them looks much older than the one from before.

I couldn't get a sufficient answer from Google and I don't really like using AI anyway.

Was that the same bird?

I do not remember Wind Waker being this hard when I played it on GameCube back in high school?

I use my hands daily in my profession and in med school one of our professors even encouraged us to play video games (in moderation) to build up dexterity, strength, etc.

I've been playing for a month and finally got to the end.

The other forms were so much easier and I get that they make it that way on purpose.

But even if you do hit him in the face with the master sword and he stops for half a second, you can't get the light arrows, or I CAN'T get the light arrows to focus on his tail butt.

Am I missing something?

Edit: it really is this bad on the Switch 2. The controls are terrible. I've beaten puppet Ganon and now I'm trying to beat the final Ganondorf after Zelda wakes up but she keeps hitting me with the light arrows.

How did we do this as kids?

As soon as I manage to correctly deflect and arrow, he's recovered by the time I can hit him.

😫💩

I still have the VHS of the Halloween episodes my mom or grandmother used to record for me and my siblings but its getting worn out. Mostly 80s and 90s cartoons and some sitcom episodes.

What are some of your favorite TV Halloween episodes and do you watch them annually?

I always re-watch the Roseanne Halloween episodes which are some of the best in sitcom history IMO.

I also watch the Halloween episodes from the following shows: My So Called Life, Grey's Anatomy, Bob's Burgers, the Simpsons, Buffy, the Office, Parks & Rec, SNL specials.

There are also some great specials from before I was born that I love. Like Witches Night Out, Garfield halloween, It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Halloween is Grinch Night.

There are so many more I'm sure.

Which are your favorite?

I remember loving WW when if first came out and I'm also aware people constantly complain about the Switch 2 port controls.

But seriously, they're awful!

I drowned trying to climb an ocean platform! Twice!

Also, when you hit the treasure balls, the loot is gone almost instantaneously!

Was it like this originally on the Game Cube?

When I moved to the UK I left almost all of my old gaming systems at home, otherwise I'd pull out the Wii U and play that version and TP.

The controls are seriously frustrating and take away from the game play in a big way.

We just finished Widow's Bay (loved it!), but my husband is going to Spain for two weeks for work and we're trying to pick a new TV series to get into.

We narrowed it down to Slow Horses, the Diplomat, Pluribus, the Beast Within, Beef, Paradise and DTF: St Louis.

We can't decide.

Or I can't decide. He's a golden retriever type, he'll watch anything.

Help.

I had my Japanese friend order the cases for me. I'm keeping one and giving the other two away.

I tried ordering the licensed Nintendo case but it sold out on Target.com while I was putting in the address. 🤣

I'll just order it from Best Buy. I refuse to give Walmart $.

I'm back!

It's been so long since I've played WW. I'm trying to find the sea chart treasure.

A map square will glow red when you've opened up a sea chart and there is treasure there. That much I've discerned.

Once you've gotten the treasure a red circle appears on the map and it no longer glows?

I'm trying to get the treasure near heart island and I can't find it.

Is there some simple way to decipher its location and I'm just completely oblivious?

I see the approximate location on the map but there are no glowing rings.

Help.

The title pretty much explains it all. Twice now my husband and I have been out at clubs in London, something we very rarely do since the twins were born; and a guy approached us asking if we'd be interested in doing a porn.

The first time was last summer. Then it happened again last weekend.

The guy would approach, ask if we were a couple, make some small talk and then make his offer.

He must have forgotten he propositioned us last summer. He clearly has the speech memorized.

He said couples with big size differences are really popular in gay porn.

Obviously we both refused, my husband was far more polite than I was but he also thinks it's flattering.

Would you be flattered if you and your partner or you, yourself was approached and asked to be in porn?

I remember absolutely loving playing Wind Waker the first time. I was 13 when it came out.

I played it a few times over the years but this is my first time playing it in probably five years.

I don't know if it's the emulated controls on the Switch 2 but this game is frustrating as hell.

First the jumping pods.

Now trying to align the boxes and get across in the Tower of Gods.

Was it always this difficult.

I am tempted to haul out the Wii U and try it on there instead.

Am I the only one having this much difficulty?

How many of you have read the Little Friend?

Personally, I really enjoyed it. The characters, the atmosphere.

People were apparently polarized over it.

But it was such a fast read for me because it kept such a great pace.

It's definitely not the Secret History or the Goldfinch but it's not awful by any means.

What does everyone else think?

I've been reading absolutely everything I can about the Franklin scandal and cover up.

How do people feel about it now? Or back then?

It's completely clear that horrific things happened to those kids.

Is there a consensus? Or are people still greatly divided?

Has anyone really dug into this scandal from the 80s that was barely ever mentioned after the early 90s?

I'm reading the Franklin cover up by John W. DeCamp and I honestly don't know what to belive.

I absolutely do think there was a pedophile ring that was covered up but the Satanist killings is where I haven't quite caught up or find hard to believe.

There is definitely something to all of it but I'm having a hard time centralizing research..

I'm also a doctor so I often need empirically verifiable evidence in order to fully support these rabbit holes I've started going down.

Being a new father is essentially what put me onto the subject and being asked to be a part of a coalition to stop the spread of child sexual abuse material.

Any suggestions after I finish this book?

I got the "a ton of blood" response in the processing center.

Flushed the 1st toilet 8x.

Annnnd no doll at the bottom of the stairs.

I fucked my save and even tried again from the point where I put Emily on the couch.

What did I do wrong?

It's on casual, this is my 3rd play through.

I'm playing on Switch 2.

Am I going to have to start all over?

Do you thinks Zeno would have seemed more formidable had we actually gotten to fight him?

I like his swagger and all but he just seemed half baked compared to other villains.

They could have easily put something in there featuring him as a boss.

I still think Requiem is in my top 5 but Zeno was just so meh.

The twins are at my in-laws house until Tuesday so my husband and I got stoned and watched old cartoons from our childhood.

While watching Duck Tales I said Scrooge was likely worth at least a billion or more.

My husband laughed and said, no way was he worth more than $200-$300 million due to the fact that there weren't as many billionaires in the 80s.

Which of us is right?

I find myself constantly quoting certain phrases in my every day life and people mostly don't know it's from Bob's Burgers.

When someone annoys me I'll say "oh, go fart in a phone booth."

Or when it's near Halloween I'll sing "Ghosts and goblins and ghosts, yeah!"

"Peace on earth and salsa mild" is another favorite of mine.

Does anyone else do this? Or am I weird? 😫🤣

Is Delicate even worth watching?

I watched All's Fair and watching Kim Kardashian really took me out of it. The other performances were stellar.

I love AHS but I've just heard such bad things about this season I've avoided it.

Should I give it a chance?

I told my story earlier on a different post, but I was four and my great-great Aunt allowed me to watch because she loved horror and sci-fi and I was very much intrigued and compelled by it; luckily never scared.

Also, do you believe seeing it as a younger age left a greater impact and impression on you?

Fans are fans, regardless of when they started watching I was just curious what people thought who got into it young.

To end, what was the part of the series that absolutely scared you the most as a kid or whatever age you started watching?
