Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Launches On Switch 2 On 5th November 2026

Essentially, it seems to mostly be a 1:1 remake, but exceptionally modernised with revamped environments and additional quality-of-life improvements.

My favorite Zelda games are the old top down ones, like A Link to the Past, Link’s Awakening, the Oracle of Seasons/Ages, and Minish Cap. OoT still hits for me because it was the first one I ever played. Walking out of the Temple of Time as adult Link was the most epic thing I ever experienced in a game as a kid. Gonna be hard not to buy a Switch 2 right away.

How many LGBTQ+ adults are in Ohio?

In Ohio, the new analysis determined that 11.29% of state residents are LGBTQ+ adults, roughly 883,000 people…“We’re not a niche constituency, and no campaign, brand or employer can afford to treat us like one,” HRC President Kelley Robinson said in a statement.

We’re here and we’re queer ✊

SuperAstra Can Change Games In Real Time, But Does It Erase Their Spirit & Threaten Traditional Development?

If you can create something yourself, you should do it, but in my opinion, having a programme that can change levels of existing games without any knowledge is a no go. You wouldn’t change a book halfway through; you wouldn’t change the outcome of a film halfway through; and you shouldn’t be changing assets of a game on the fly either, because what is the point of the original developer putting all of that hard work into something?

Meet the Guy Who Just Trademarked ‘The S Thing’

“But drawing the S thing was addictive, and in the same way I found myself completely addicted to the history, mystery and magic of the symbol. I just wanted to invest and continue.”

Son of a bitch. Someone registered a trademark for that cool millennial “S”. And this article is six years old even

Shadow AI is already inside your company. Here’s how to get control of it

“A tool that looks like a harmless assistant may have permission to read email, summarize files, access customer records, connect to ticketing systems or interact with source-code repositories,”

Reminds me of how everyone had a dozen of those sketchy spyware browser toolbars like BonziBuddy in the 90s and early 2000s but worse.

RSS is still my prefered feed format

But what if we didn’t have to build on top of RSS? What if… and hear me out, what if we used atproto for this!

I do like how standard.site is becoming its own RSS-adjacent thing. Standard Reader is really nice. A lot of stuff on ATProto is but I’m always afraid I’m putting all my eggs into one basket with something so new. I’m on Bluesky, and at one point I was using Leaflet for my blog, Standard Reader, and Skyfeed for RSS. The fact that RSS has been around nearly 30 years is a selling point for me even if it isn’t as feature-rich as what’s on ATProto.

Back on micro.blog after a year or so. I tried a couple other blogging sites, most recently Leaflet, but I kept finding myself looking for ways to replicate everything micro.blog already does lol. My old username here was grubz, and after that it was gary.onl. It’s nice seeing some familiar faces!

Twitter is dead... again

I wrote a thing about the new Twitter.now project yesterday. I said I was "cautiously optimistic" but I'm erring more on the side of cautious now. I think the two guys who started this thing might be in over their heads. There was a massive spambot attack going on all aftern...

Life doesn't have to be so creepy and corporate
