The main thing I can't forgive the Ocarina remake for, is the way they changed hookshot interactions: organically targeting wooden surfaces seems to have been thrown out completely, in favour of explicit, impossible to miss hookshot targets. A baffling design decision that completely destroys the player's incentive to think and use the tool playfully and creatively ☹️

Esto es precioso, lo que han hecho en el Zelda Ocarina of Time es alucinante 😍

ウチのアレやないかいw

i like the idea of twitter no longer being a platform but a concept, shattered across time and space

Scientists may have found the real life SpongeBob and Patrick nearly 6,200 feet below the Atlantic. A NOAA expedition captured a yellow sponge and pink sea star sitting side by side, and marine biologist Christopher Mah pointed out the obvious comparison. [🎥: via/ NOAA]

you can just do things: i present my buddy on a head full of acid.

This feels illegal to know. Someone built a file format which corrupts a little every time you open it. It's called decayfmt, a small open source tool by Arav Panwar. You take an image or a text file, encode it, and from that point on every open damages the file on disk before it shows you anything. There's no undo and no recovery from the file alone. The decay speed lives in the filename. A photo saved as photo.idcy1 loses about 9.5% of its pixel data each time you look at it. Save it as photo.idcy10 and roughly 63% gets scrambled on the first open. Rename the file and you change how hard the next open hits. The design details are what got me. The corruption comes from your operating system's randomness, so there's no seed anyone can replay to rebuild the original. The tool writes the damage to disk before it displays the file, so a crash can never hand you a free read. It never touches transparency on images, which means the decay shows up as color noise instead of holes. Text only swaps in printable characters, so a sentence rots into something that still looks like language. The author calls it a social contract enforced by math. It isn't encryption and it isn't secure deletion. Anyone with a backup or a hex editor can beat it, and you know that going in. What I like about it is how backwards it feels. Every digital file copies for free, and the models I use every day can regenerate almost anything on demand. Then someone writes a small Rust tool where reading a file costs you part of the file, and you have to decide whether it's worth opening. A printed photo fades in a drawer. Nobody ever needed a tool to make a JPEG do the same thing, until this one.

i made a game where you literally have to find Waldo in a giant crowd the catch is you’re actually walking around inside the crowd in first person, and everyone is moving play it here: waldo.brutefloat.com

Apple Maps vs Google Maps at navigation It’s not even a competition

HIGHWAY ROBBERY: An Egyptian gang robbed a moving truck and stole 105 kilograms of frozen chicken.

no matter where i go in life a lot of things may change but i’ll always be a @goblinarinos you can check the chain

THIS IS MY DREAM
