beating breath of the wild in under 40 minutes is an incredible feat and also fucking excellent in the context of the game. ganon spends 100 fucking years preparing this onslaught, building energy, getting ready to tear the world apart, and one elf twink wakes up butt-ass naked in a cave and legs it to the castle and kicks ganon’s ass apart in under an hour with a sword he found along the way

Link?
yeah it was link
link, after waking up not knowing anything but anger:
The current record is 27.5 minutes. Knowing that speedrunners skip the Great Plateau tower, this means that they don’t get the cutscene where Ganon and his Guardians awake until they reach Hyrule Castle. Ganon doesn’t even know Link is awake until Link is at his doorstep, which is about 16:50 into the run.
Less than three minutes later, Link kills the first of Ganon’s Blights with a single arrow and swiftly takes down the next three. Within five minutes of Ganon being face to face with his arch nemesis, he is killed.
Ganon had a total of 10 minutes and 40 seconds to stop Link.

Ganon fucking wishes. Link comes flying in on a paraglider at like 80 mph just because he jumped off a bokoblin’s head. I can only imagine Link screaming “FUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOUUUUUU” all the way (about 50 seconds in the run but 30 seconds without lag)
link: [wakes up] when i see Ganon it’s fucking on sight
Ganon: “oh hey the princesses seal is starting to wane. in a moment i should have enough power to-” Link: *Kicks open door* “HYAAAAAAAA” GANON: “OH FUCK MY BODYS NOT READY! BLIGHTS DO SOMETHING!”
IIRC correctly the writers admitted that they wrote this scene because they were tired of all the criticism that their hacking scenes weren’t 100% accurate, and/or included visual elements like a GUI instead of just command lines, so they decided to have an unofficial internal contest about who could make the tech scenes more and more ridiculous, continuing to ramp it up until we got to this specific moment - the peak of bullshit mountain.
My favourite thing about this scene is the bit afterwards that they never show you, which is the team leader solving the problem in the most actually realistic way possible - unplugging the computer before it could be hacked any further.
but I think “governments should fear their people” is not a good rallying cry, we see that in V for Vendetta the fascist government does fear the people, they’re terrified of the people, and go to exorbitant effort to monitor and constrain and suppress the people as a result.
a robust government comprised of the people, representing the people, and transparent to the people, should have no need of fear.
governments should have no fear of the people, as governments should have channels for democratic feedback that make insurrection unnecessary and the threat laughable.
a newly turned werewolf frantically googling whether or not they can eat chocolate now, finding several different answers that don’t clear anything up, and finally having a stare-down with a bar of chocolate wondering whether or not it’s worth it to just try it themselves and see what happens, and getting sidetracked wondering if they’ll have to go to the doctor’s or the vet if it turns out badly for them.
There should be a riot at disneyland there should be people ripping the bricks out of main street USA and throwing them at cops I think a cop should die at the riot at disneyland I want bad things to happen to the walt disney company
1 year ago today i was working election night, because i work in the news, after a year of working in the news in 2020, one of the worst years in a long time, at the end of my rope mentally, waiting for election results, when i went to the bathroom and got a message from a friend saying “we won.” i was like “won what?! there’s no election results yet? i dont see the AP reporting?!” and she said “check tumblr” and i said “THERES NO ELECTION RESULTS ON TUMBLR” and then
