  • Majora’s Mask is too short smuglord

    Real answer, Termina Bay is such a buzzkill to play through. I enjoy the associated temple but I groan upon seeing that sickly teal ocean. Woodfall/Southern Swamp and Snowhead imo had a better art direction and map layout. In comparison, the Bay has those hostile green land turds, while the water is nigh-on empty except for more enemies. The Pirate’s Fortress is fine but going back-and-forth for the Zora eggs is another buzzkill. The area fees dilapidated and empty but not in the weird or creepy way as the rest of the game (the ranch with the Flatwoods aliens, Ikana Valley).

    To use a tired cliche, the area needs more “mystery” and even “Lovecraftian” influences. It’s otherwise just a polluted beach inhabited by the local Zora and pirate populations. Bloodborne did it right with the art direction of the Fisherman’s Wharf.

    As a side note, I wonder what the venn diagram looks like for Majora’s Mask enjoyers and Disco Elysium enthusiasts. The mask sidequests are the best part of the game imo which translates over to DE’s.





  • Shit seems so dire. I was born in this fucking country, I barely speak Spanish yet as irrational as it might be rn, it’s not unreasonable to believe they’ll eventually try to round up others like me and deport us. My whole fucking life is here. The Trump admin is going after the most vulnerable right now, other “undesirables” could be next week. It feels completely pointless to plan for the future right now, the moon is falling in three days.

    I wish it needn’t happen in my time.
