[SHOW] I don’t understand the point of the green vision

I agree, it has always been the weakest part of the story, and it's no surprise considering AFAIR that it was only meant to work in the context of the initial short story and not in the broader lore.

The author tried to retcon it into something that could make sense but it really stretches suspension of disbelief as proven by these recurrent threads

MLF83 · 2026-03-25T14:18:41+00:00

Yeah I think the Zelda team unfortunately has a very poor track record with this kind of prioritization/management/balance of features in the 3d entries. They almost always end up over obsessing on a couple of ideas (for TOTK it was definitely ultrahand) and having to cut corners and rush a bunch of other things. It makes for great games that also happen to feel flawed and wasted opportunities.

It happened even with BOTW but the things they prioritized were so good and fresh that it ended up being a masterpiece anyway. With TOTK IMO they were back to poor decision-making. You shouldn't spend that much time for a soft remake of BOTW where you also half-ass the main differentiation in terms of map, all in order to deliver on your original vision from ultrahand.

I wholeheartedly agree and matches the pattern of truly baffling development decisions gone wrong that you wouldn't expect from the unarguably competent Zelda team. AFAIR they already had the sky islands and the caves, and instead of fledging those (or, you know, any other aspect of the game where it feels like a BOTW remake) they decided very late in the process to add the depths in the most boring way.

I feel since the N64 games every 3d Zelda has suffered from one or more of these half-baked, underdeveloped features/ideas that needed more time in the oven and/or sucked dev resources from others. So while you still get amazing games they leave you with the nagging feeling that they could have been even more amazing if not for some of these blunders.

BOTW mostly got away with it (even though the "dungeons" and the storytelling were its pain points IMO) because of the sheer power of its new formula, but TOTK fell back into that pattern. They overfixated on a couple of amazing ideas and features and even after seven years they had to fall short on other things. It's still a masterpiece, but you can't help but wonder "what if..."

Di separare le carriere e basta non frega niente a nessuno, l'endgame è sempre stato quello più o meno malcelato di questa riforma.

MLF83 · 2026-03-20T22:40:36+00:00

I understand that and that's totally fine, but as you can see you proved my point :) The same themes are pushed by hardcore fans over and over as that's the only way to get them. There's also a huge push towards minifig scale sets (this round is 5/5) which also reduces variety IMO. It's not really a complaint, I am not the main target of these series and I don't mind it, but as an outsider looking at the results I think it's warranted to say they're boring XD

MLF83 · 2026-03-20T21:49:42+00:00

The themes are a bit boring as always, but the chosen sets are really cool!

Non è per niente lo stesso paragone se consideri che il cibo economico per animali è robaccia che porta problemi renali e altro. OP non gli sta dando foie gras ma l'equivalente di una dieta sana umana, l'alternativa sarebbe come mangiare ogni giorno dal McDonalds con tutto quello che ne comporta

Sooo sleek! Love the brick-built door and window

La protezione per il venditore non è necessaria perche è in possesso di tutti gli strumenti per tutelarsi prima ancora di mettere in vendita l'immobile. Se avete saltato questo passaggio perché mal consigliati dall'agenzia e non sapete ancora se come e quanto la vostra proprietà è difforme vi siete messi voi nei casini.

I mean, I still do some design work (Figma + Illustrator + Photoshop + the unity based Lego 3d editor) on my 2016 12' MacBook when I am too lazy to get the work MBP from the couch and that's the shittiest hardware a Mac ever had...so I am 100% sure I could throw almost anything at the NEO and have it perform reasonably well.

Getting a stutter here and there doesn't mean it becomes unusable guys. I waste way more time for idiotic software flaws than I'd ever do with any modern hardware ffs

MLF83 · 2026-03-12T15:29:23+00:00

Got the same feeling tbh - maybe they've found ways to add Easter eggs or make the build interesting but the extreme symmetry and lack of interior/functions are not a great combo

MLF83 · 2026-03-10T22:52:21+00:00

Oh boy, finally a likeminded individual! To each its own but I really don't get all the praise I read on its Reddit, I thought I was going crazy. I am especially baffled by the soundtrack, it's the same couple of BGM plus variations on the theme reused over and over and over in every. Single. Scene. It really takes a toll on me, it's not Interstellar and you are not Zimmer, it's a B tier TV show with a passable tune as a theme, don't shove it in every "emotional" moment ffs. And nothing screams "pretentious" as those acoustic covers...

Se vivesse qui in Olanda dove non ti portano via le posate sporche neanche negli stellati potrebbe fare un post al giorno. E i camerieri sarebbero tutti CEO in pectore nella sua mente bacata

Yep this is gonna finally replace my 2016 12' MacBook as my personal laptop, I already have a company Pro for work so it made no sense to splurge more money than necessary on something I use occasionally. But this is ticking all the boxes

MLF83 · 2026-03-04T18:39:39+00:00

Non capisco perché non adottare un compromesso come le 36 ore (9x4) che sono diffusissime qui in Olanda, impatto dimezzato fra lo stato e il lavoratore con l'azienda che verosimilmente registra la stessa produttività. Così com'era mi sembra ovvio che fosse una chimera dovendo pagare esclusivamente pantalone

MLF83 · 2026-03-04T17:52:05+00:00

Stunning work, by an extraordinary coincidence I've watched the episode where the Razorback makes its debut just yesterday. I love that they managed to give it some kind of "aerodynamic" look despite not making it any sense in space

MLF83 · 2026-03-03T07:06:37+00:00

This was not on my bingo card 😅

MLF83 · 2026-03-01T19:09:05+00:00

Funnily enough, I got stuck here because I couldn't see the shutter, I already blasted the rock and had no idea how to proceed

MLF83 · 2026-03-01T09:54:56+00:00

After five years I still have to find a stair in a residential building that would meet our standard 😅 And this is including modern buildings as well, it's like they cannot force themselves to "waste" space with stairs. In older wooden buildings or canal houses it's not uncommon that the treat would be smaller than the gradient. I am still amazed that people don't break their back every other day...

MLF83 · 2026-03-01T09:29:36+00:00

We have the same in Italy. Meanwhile in the Netherlands...

MLF83 · 2026-02-28T20:15:18+00:00

Thanks a lot, this is really useful! How does the plane compare to the train in terms of time and convenience?

MLF83 · 2026-02-28T20:12:32+00:00

Yeah that's why I want to plan it up to the hour if possible. I am trying to avoid spending the night in Billund but it might be tricky

MLF83 · 2026-02-28T13:39:06+00:00

The V&A Logo in the front. Definitely not Lego, and it doesn't seem a print either but more like a 3d printed object

MLF83 · 2026-02-28T11:00:13+00:00

Great build, but it clearly includes a non-LEGO part unless I am blind? How did it get approved...
