Somehow the chatGPT US map generated a clean, correctly spelled French word for "Mondays" instead of Illinois.

Sorry, Illinois, Garfield hates your guts.

I did a Dr Mario clone around that age. I had an old Amstrad CPC I had grew up with typing listing of basic programs and trying to make my own. I think this was the only functional game I could finish, but, it worked.

Speed was tied to CPU, I had no idea how to "slow down" the game other than making it do useless for loops of varying sizes... Max speed that was about comparable to Game Boy Hi speed was just the game running as fast as it could. Probably not efficient code at all.

The first time I had a chance to use it, of course I suspected it would have consequences. But after an enemy raid, a rather important colonist was dying and I had no other option, so yeah, I let the creepy stranger do his thing to her.

The colonist got a tentacle. She happened to have the body modder trait too. So, completely by chance, I gave a horrible, yet useful, mutation to a weirdo that was absolutely fine with it.

The Triforce quest was somewhat nerfed in the remake. You get some fragments immediately instead of finding a map to them.

And the new sail kinda makes wind control useless for sailing which I'm honestly not sure I like. This is just a part of the game's theme they cut, there is such a thing as too convenient IMO.

That's okay, it's a Borg cube.

IMO the cool thing about TP is the weirdness. There are those eerie choirs, even in the jingles, there are some quite grotesque designs, and a few quite disturbing and puzzling cutscenes.

It's definitely the Zelda game for weird moods, maybe not as crazy as Majora's Mask but more like a constant feeling of something being not right.

Such is Aryll's power. I am pretty sure she can invade people's minds.

Exhibit A : just her being there is enough to change the background music in all of Outset Island to her theme.

They even got an expert from IGN. "7.8, too much water."

Including himself. If I had to find some respect for the guy, the fact he risked his own life might be it...

Fortunately, I don't have to. What an idiot.

On the subject of colours/lighting, not sure your emulator is to blame because this is one of two things I didn't like about that remake, and I played it on Wii U. They made everything neon and cranked lighting effects to the max.

The other thing was removing the Tingle tuner, that was a lot of fun in coop on the GameCube, and replacing it with a soulless online message system that didn't even last for the whole (very short) life of the console (because it was tied to miiverse, a service they killed after a few years).

The game does have a long intro, but IMO Twilight Princess was even worse. That game took forever to start.

Well, I did say a sequel would probably not ruin a game I liked... And admittedly, yeah, this involves very few competitive multiplayer games.

The part about a beloved franchise or character didn't really evoke that kind of ruining to me. But I get that point of view.
