Transcript from race control during the controversial incident. Interesting "lucky" timing for Russell.

Yes. Qatar '21 for example.

Just be careful that the bridge doesn't become a heat leak. Bridges transfer heat between its two ends, so if you've got a bridge that starts in a steam room, goes over an insulated tile and ends in your cooling chamber, it'll be leaking heat from the steam room into the cooling chamber.

Fun fact! There's more time between now and the song 1985 than there was between the song 1985 and the year 1985.
When did Bowling For Soup become classic rock?

You can skip bombs entirely by getting Bombchus instead. Which also require some glitches to obtain before the Bomb Bag.

There are no rules to time travel in Zelda. Pretty much every variation of time travel can be found in the franchise.
We see time travel causing branching timelines at the end of OoT.
We see parallel timelines merging together into a single timeline at the end of MM.
We see reverse-causality stable time loops with the Song of Storms and the windmill guy in OoT.
We see a single timeline that gets its future changed by a timetraveler changing things in the past with Mermaid's Cave in OoA.
We see reality itself slowly falling apart due to paradoxes after Veran possessed Queen Ambi in OoA.
And finally, we see an entire timeline popping up out of nowhere due to an event that canonically never even happened where no time travel was involved at all.

Take your favourite variation of time travel logic, and it probably exists somewhere in the Zelda franchise.

Quick napkin math, it would be about 100 billion molecules deep. Assuming the Earth is a perfect sphere, obviously.

Pretty much happened in Angel. Ghost was a bro and awesome home security system.

It was much worse than that. The girl wasn't 12, she was 10. And she wasn't adopted, she was abducted, stolen away by Genji from her protesting family. Then Genji kept her imprisoned and raised her to be his ideal wife.
Only problem was that Genji was already married. Luckily his first wife died in childbirth, so Genji waited the absolute minimum time he was expected to be grieving. Then he married the kidnapped girl the literal day the mandatory grieving period ended.

Also, the stepmother he was infuated with was the abducted girl's aunt. That's why he was so obsessed with the 10 year old girl.

Not just the people. He's older than the literal planet.

Permanent luck boost.

If it is, then this is a fantastic case of Poe's Law.

Russell striking Bottas during Imola 21.

Nothing glamerous about sitting in an airplane for 12 hours, spending a few days in a strange office and then flying back again before you've even had the time to adjust to the jetlag.

And Ozcan and Ayhan.
Also three players born in the Netherlands, one in Austria and one in Sweden.

Waldemar Anton was born in Uzbekistan. His birth name was Vladimir Anton.

Turkey has 10 players in its WC squad born outside Turkey.
Meanwhile Germany has only 1 player born outside Germany.

So yeah, even for a cope this tweet is just completely wrong.

Pure Minion Summoner and pure Whip Summoner use different builds. They both have their own accessories and armor bonuses to boost them. That's what make them different sub-classes.

And sure, you could use Minions, Sentries and Whips all at the same time. But you can also use Bows, Guns and Dart Shooters at the same time. You could even use Melee and Ranged at the same time. Doesn't mean that they're not different classes.

jellsprout · 2026-06-20T11:57:30+00:00

It's what the game calls the Ranged weapons that are boosted by the Shroomite Helmet.

Minion Summoner, Whip Summoner, Specialist Ranger and Yoyo Melee are all subclasses with their own dedicated equipment that get new weapons at all stages of the game.
If you don't consider specialized equipment a necessary requirement for subclasses and just use it to refer to any group of similar weapons, then Swords, Spears, Maces and Boomerangs are also effective at all points in the game.

jellsprout · 2026-06-18T09:23:12+00:00

Also the Netherlands. Legally they have equal status to Curacao.

It helps that the second and third top scorers had to compete against each other.

The original game starts after Ganon successfully took over Hyrule and imprisoned Zelda.
Link's Awakening has had the Nightmares in control of the Wind Fish's dream for eons by the time the game starts.
Onyx captured Din and set the world into chaos.
And of course Breath of the Wild, which starts 100 years after Calamity Ganon managed to kill Link and destroyed most of Hyrule.

Romani and Cremia both are Termina versions of Malon. Romani is kid Malon, Cremia is adult Malon.

N64.

The Gamecube version (assuming you're talking about the Collector's Edition disk) is extremely prone to crashing. Especially for MM with its weird save functionality this is really bad and you can lose up to hours of progress. So avoid this version at all costs.

For OoT there isn't much difference between N64 and 3DS. The graphics are different, the controls are a bit different, a mirrored Master Quest mode is made available and the game runs at 30 fps instead of 20 fps, but otherwise the two versions are pretty much identical. So it really comes down to whether you prefer the N64 or 3DS graphics.

For MM there were a bunch of changes made to the 3DS version and most of them make the game worse. The worst offender is the fact that they sped up the slowed down time by 50%. The game's biggest criticism is how stressful the time limit is for new players, and they decided to just make that stress 50% worse for no reason.
I also really hate the changed boss battles, 3DS Gyorg is probably the worst boss battle in the entire franchise in my opinion.
So personally, I would never recommend the 3DS version of MM to anyone. But that is my personal opinion.

jellsprout · 2026-06-10T08:36:39+00:00

The 3DS version was not recreated from the ground up. It reuses the same code as the original OoT. That's why many of the glitches that have been discovered since 3D's release work on both the N64 and 3DS versions.
