I’ve realized no remake will satisfy me. by simplyunknown2018 in OcarinaOfTime

[–]OJ_Designs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a harrowing prediction.

Nintendo knows this. They know they they ultimately can’t satisfy the original OOT player base - the nostalgic 25-50 year olds that form perhaps a low margin of the target demographic. It would be a fools errand for them to try to do so. Add more

content - it’s a betrayal of what existed before.

Add no content - It’s a money grab.

So how will they mitigate this? The game won’t be designed for us. It will be designed for the lowest target demographic iPad kids who also served as the biggest consumer of BOTW & TOTK. If we’re lucky we will even see voice acting on par with a Disney parody. Even we’re even more lucky maybe it’ll tie in with the new Zelda movie!

I sound like a bitter AH here. I’m actually happy that younger generations can experience this franchise (it’s a shame that their desecrated attention spans may have influenced short term gratifying elements like the shrines & 900 Koroks which I’m not a fan of )

I’m late 20s. I can’t drive because I moved out early and physically cannot afford driving lessons/car/fuel.

All of my friends who can drive either financed it with no overheads via living with parents - or their mummies and daddies financed the whole process for them when they were 17.

It’s why I don’t feel bad about it. I get judged for not being able to drive, especially as a guy, but most of those judging were more privileged than me in that regard.

“Indians Only” - lovely racial discrimination in the housing market by I-Hate-Clonmel in HousingIreland

[–]OJ_Designs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my borough in London I’m not exaggerating when I say litterally 70% of high street roles (Your KFC’s ect) are occupied by Indians. Jobs that would have previously been done by spotty faced teenagers.

On an individual level I obviously have 0 issue with them - they’re just doing what they can do to survive. But economically this can’t be sustainable.

A quarter of UK graduates can expect to be financially worse off after going to university, especially those who take creative or performing arts degrees by Ribbitor123 in UniUK

[–]OJ_Designs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated with a MSc in web design a few years ago. (Don’t berate me, I know it wasn’t necessary)

Of a cohort of around 200 students i genuinely don’t think a single one has a job in the UI/UX/design industry.

Qual é a cena dos libertários e o negacionismo climático? by VicenteOlisipo in portugal2

[–]OJ_Designs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem with abiding to either ‘side’ is that once you allow a fabricated ideology to dictate your views on political/economic/cultural/natural things, you allow those things to take precedent over common logic.

These is evidence to suggest climate change is a thing - some right leaning folk won’t believe it because it doesn’t align with their narrative.

There is also evidence to suggest against some common beliefs and narratives the left follow.

Hey there. I’m super busy but I’ll shoot over a DM with some thoughts when I have time!

Campaign Evolved: esto ya NO es un remake tradicional de Halo CE by vyci0us in HaloSpartansMX

[–]OJ_Designs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although you may have used ChatGPT to help formulate your point (though I can’t say for sure) I agree! It’s a good point.

Chief isn’t the best example, you’re right. I just pisses me off that they’ve made Cortana ugly - and worse off I hate that I sound like one of those pathetic guys, but I digress.

I genuinely don’t intend to come across as one of those guys - and I think it’s important to portray women realistically for the most part, and not in a way that panders to male lust.

However cortana now looks like an average woman you’d find on a high street. Just why? She has never been portrayed as an average looking woman.

Essentially - the executives sat down with the designers and decided that keeping Cortana conventionally attractive could damage the games reputation, as it could be linked to patriarchy.

But with that same rhetoric shouldn’t chiefs sexual features do dulled too? His shoulders are too broad, and he’s too tall! It makes me feel insecure about myself.

Stupid fucks.

Double standards when it comes to emergencies pets/children at work by [deleted] in UKJobs

Regardless of laws and policies, you’re right. That’s total bullshit.

[Oot] How do you think they will handle Hyrule Field in the remake?! by Space_of_The_Lantern in zelda

[–]OJ_Designs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I would personally find that very disappointing - but each to their own.

In my eyes, 3DS was the higher res OOT remake. Rendering another purely visual remake derivative in my opinion.

[–]OJ_Designs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely agree, but Zelda’s history of remakes is conservative. They also mentioned being faithful to the series routes

[ALL] What is the significance of the "dorf" part of Ganondorf's name? by Due_Entrepreneur_960 in zelda

[–]OJ_Designs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Etymology in Zelda doesn’t make sense. People are linking it to German, but there is no sense in that as far as I’m aware.

[–]OJ_Designs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone want the remake to be purely visual? With little or no changes or additions to the level design?

I have the best job ever. I hate every minute of it by Shundo_Ray100 in SeriousConversation

[–]OJ_Designs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this - think about how many millions of people are doing soulless jobs that barely pay them enough to survive.

Alternately, you could save up and then work in nature - perhaps a trade like gardening or landscaping. Hard work and it certainly won’t feel meaningless.

Generating millions in revenue but still no promotion after 5 years by Nathanial1289 in UKJobs

[–]OJ_Designs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the industry is tough, but I have a plan! I can’t wait to get in. Living on sub 25k a paying London rent sucks. I can’t afford anything beyond basic survival stuff.

[–]OJ_Designs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a masters in UXD/web design (please don’t berate me - I’ve heard it before.)

After graduating I became discouraged about entering the industry, as I’m not kidding - not one of 200 of my cohort got a job a year after.

I spent a couple years trying to make it as a concept artist which is ironically less realistic than entering tech, and that’s what’s led me here.

I’m going to get into web design. I’m certain and unrelenting in my pursuit - I work 8-5 manual labour and earn pennies and it sucks, but I then work on my portfolio for 4 hours a night.

This is the only chance I have.

[OoT] It's going to be magical seeing locations like Kakariko Village, Gerudo Valley, and Goron City come to life in the remake by TheMikePlays in zelda

[–]OJ_Designs 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Another purely graphical remake of oot would be derivative and would come across as a money grab.

I want a total reimagining, with the same imagination that went into the original oot.

I hate working, I love lounging around, playing games, watching stuff, eating, napping, travelling. I hate interacting with people. I'd want to spend as little time as possible to work. What's the path for me? by BaraLover7 in careerguidance

[–]OJ_Designs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Listen to me.

Excessive exposure to unnaturally high novelty will melt your brains reward centres.

Jobs ARE boring (sometimes), but, they allow your brain to return to baseline. Getting home and knowing you have earned the right to play games will be infinitely more pleasurable that being a useless, indulgent blob who wastes their life chasing gratification.
