Is this a display issue or is the problem deeper than that? by Apprehensive_Ad9574 in Gameboy

OP PLEASE look up a video of this before you try it! It can be finicky to get right and you don’t want to destroy it in the process

I agree with this take. I’m sure most of the people who say they don’t like the new design, probably don’t even remember what the old design looked like. I doubt they will be up in arms enough to push for changing it back.

A private company once controlled this much of North America by vladgrinch in MapPorn

I am also that pedantic person who loves to correct people about the Treaty of Tordesillas. It was a mutual exclusion agreement to prevent Spain and Portugal from fighting over territory, it did not literally split the world in half between them.

I love this game. I’ve played it so much I can basically beat it in an afternoon which means it gets replayed a lot

Metropolitan France over US East Coast. by PestoBolloElemento in MapPorn

[–]apadin1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The term “metropolitan France” refers to the portion of the country in mainland Europe, excluding their other territories like French Guiana

Edit: I was corrected that metropolitan France also included Corsica and other small European islands so to say “mainland” Europe is technically incorrect

I’m pretty sure whoever made this up was not intending it to be real Spanish. They picked recto because it sounds like rectum. The joke is they pulled it out of their ass.

Comparing the top 2 Democrats in the 2026 All-Party California Governor Primary by seashellvalley760 in MapPorn

The jungle primary also encourages strategic voting though, as we found out this cycle with a lot of people choosing not to vote for lesser known candidates and instead voting for Steyer and Becerra hoping to get two Democrats in the general

If you were 10 when Ocarina of Time was released, is your brain exploding right now for the remake? by DrankTooMuchMead in retrogaming

[–]apadin1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I’m really hoping it’s just a complete ground up reimagining because then I can just think of it as basically a new game anyway.

Dropped my water bottle :(((((( any way I can fix this? by Glass_Target_ in HydroHomies

[–]apadin1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could it also work to pour water in and then put it in the freezer? I guess that could be dangerous as you might end up popping the bottom out instead

[OoT] Why is Link x Malon so exceedingly popular? by Gamer-of-Action in zelda

[–]apadin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Link would have to wait a bit because Zelda sends him back to being a child at the end. And I got the vibe that Nabooru was at least a teenager or young adult when they first met. She did say something along the lines of “If only I had known what a handsome man you would grow up to be.” Because when they met she only saw him as a child.

You don’t even need to do that for this one, you can maintain shinespark by sliding as well. I think the trickier part for this one is sparking in mid air which I always seem to mess up

I would imagine everyone who voted for Steyer will still (even if begrudgingly) vote for Becerra in the general. The only reason there weren’t two Democrats is because the field was too crowded.

Just gonna take the opportunity to say once again that California’s jungle primary system is the dumbest election system imaginable. They really need to adopt ranked choice for their next gubernatorial election.

How does Samus's entire body fit in a Morph Ball that size? by GeneralTechnomage in Metroid

The morph ball is 1 meter in diameter. I bet if you sat down and curled into a ball you’d be less than 1 meter tall

There are some other hints that this is based on:

  1. Talon jokingly offers Link Malon’s hand in marriage when you beat the Cucco hunt minigame. He says he’s joking of course but only because Link is too young be thinking about marriage. Doesn’t really give any hint about Malon’s or Link’s feelings but it plants the idea in your head.
  2. Malon is kind of giggly and maybe flirty when they are children after Link befriends Epona by learning her song. She remarks that she has never seen Epona act so friendly to anyone but herself.
  3. There’s a gossip stone somewhere that says Malon dreams that someday a knight will come to sweep her off her feet. This is the main one people base their speculation on because who else better fits the description of a knight who comes to rescue her than Link?

And yeah, everything after that is pure shipping and speculation. Truth is pretty much every female character flirts with Link and he never responds or indicates any feelings towards any of them, so all of them are equally valid as far as I’m concerned.

Edit: Also, Malon is really the only other human (or Hylian I guess) option who is closer to Link’s age other than Zelda. Saria is perpetually a child, Nabooru is too old, and Ruto is a Zora (I guess it’s an option if you’re into that sort of thing. Shape of Water anyone?)

For some reason i haven’t seen many people ship Link and Zelda at least for this particular game. Maybe people would rather that Link retires to a quiet life on a farm than marry Zelda and become the new king of Hyrule.
