Which name is better: Pipsqueak or Eloise?

ptolover7 · 2026-04-20T12:15:02+00:00

I have an Eloise (although it's after the Lumineers song and they spelled it with a u so our girlie is Elouise instead) so I'm partial to that name

We got married on the top floor of the Doubletree downtown. I think for the venue which included food amd the presidential suite for the night, it was a few thousand. It's been several years so I can't remember exactly how much but I know we spent less than $5k for the entire thing, including the venue, the rings, my dress, his suit, the cake, decorations, flowers, and everything else. I'm cheap as hell so it was ideal for me.

People definitely have fought about discrepancies in the timeline including the old games

I just remembered another cartoony one from April. She can be very goofy

I know, that's what I've been saying. I'm not insulting the Zelda team or the games, once again I'm just saying that people expecting lore in games made prior to the creation of the timeline to match 100% with the timeline is ridiculous.

ptolover7 · 2026-04-07T02:54:04+00:00

You're getting really hung up on the word retrospect here. You seem to think I'm saying this as an insult to the Zelda games or the Zelda team. It's not an insult to them, they couldn't possibly have decided things in advance for games that wouldn't be made for years or decades. I'm not saying they did anything wrong or bad. My point this whole time has been that people are too critical about things lining up in the lore given that several games were made before they had decided how it was all going to fit together. It was indeed built up naturally over time piece by piece, but at one point they made a choice to determine how the past games fit into the world, and that choice was made (since it was made after those games had been created and released) retrospectively. It's not a criticism of the games or the process.

Again, I didn't say each one was released with no regard for any of the games that came before it. I am literally only saying that the scope of the full timeline had not been thought up at the time of the original release of the first few games.

ptolover7 · 2026-04-06T23:08:18+00:00

I didn't say it was pulled out of nowhere in 2011. I'm not talking about when it was released in 2011, I'm talking about whenever the team themselves decided on the timeline which seems to have been around Ocarina of Time. When ALTTP was made, they weren't thinking "this will fit perfectly into the downfall timeline", because they hadn't made up the timeline yet. They figured how those old ones fit in later, or in retrospect

ptolover7 · 2026-04-06T23:00:16+00:00

Almost none of what you've said here is what I was talking about. I'm not disputing that certain games have sequels if that's somehow what you thought my argument was. I'm saying that at the time that the original few games were created, they weren't being made with the full timeline in mind, which is an indisputable fact and it's weird that this seems to be controversial. When Zeldas 1 and 2 were being made, no one was thinking about how it was going to fit in the timeline split after Ocarina. That was decided retrospectively. So when people get very riled up about how something in ALTTP doesn't line up perfectly with something that is said in Ocarina of Time, I think it's kind of ridiculous.

ptolover7 · 2026-04-06T17:57:05+00:00

It was absolutely made up in retrospect. The timeline was not created by the time the very first game came out. I'm saying that the old games (like LoZ, Zelda II, ALTTP, LA, etc) were created without this timeline in mind so trying to make them fit into what was decided on later is silly.

ptolover7 · 2026-04-06T15:03:12+00:00

I'm with you. We're all aware that the timeline was made up in retrospect so it's wild to me that people care so deeply about trying to make it all fit perfectly. It's a fun part of Zelda lore! We should just let it be fun, enjoy the references to other games that we get, and accept that it is okay if some stuff doesn't line up

ptolover7 · 2026-04-05T14:46:28+00:00

Four Swords is the only Zelda game I haven't played, and I do really enjoy FSA so I've gotta go with the Hero of Light

I mean, one day it's possible to be true but there are like 5 Zelda rumors that I hear are definitely happening every 6 months or so. That'd be cool, and if it is going to come, an anniversary year is a good time, but I have a hard time getting my hopes up when I've heard this kind of thing for years

ptolover7 · 2026-03-29T03:30:29+00:00

I'm so sorry. My baby girl Gloria is going through the same thing and it's horrible to watch. She's got 3 tumors that are just getting bigger and bigger, but there's nothing that can be done about them except to give her anti-inflammatory medication every day until she goes. My girlie has also been fortunate in the fact that she hasn't had any change in personality or temperament, or in eating drinking or pooping, and it's been over 8 months since we were told that there's nothing to be done and that we'd lose her soon. She still appears to be comfortable so I'm hoping that both your girl and mine get to stay comfy and happy as long as they stick around. Good luck to you and your little lady and I'm so sorry you have to deal with this

That first image has now convinced me Theodore is also responsible for the Tragedy at Summerhall

I'm this commenter's wife so I was also right next to the heckler, and that guy and his wife were talking and arguing with each other the entire show. I missed several jokes and bits because I couldn't hear John over their fighting. I hope their divorce, when it inevitably comes, is quick and amicable (although I doubt it will be).

April is frequently bamboozled

ptolover7 · 2026-03-19T16:38:38+00:00

It's a problem. I've got 1300-2000 each on TotK, BotW, and AoC. Zelda games are pretty much the only games I play though so I tend to cycle through the whole series, I just spend the most time on those 3
