    whoo, finally caught back up in Homestuck. That was an awful, awful suggestion Andrew Hussie gave when he said we should reread the thing instead of a recap. took so long to read!

    Skyward Sword is a great game, seriously hampered by the fact that Nintendo made it.

    It's practically screaming for better hardware and voice acting. The single stick controls work ok but feel like a step back in time, especially since the game has that really weird Japanese aversion to responsive cameras. There are also puzzling regressions. For example, previous Zelda games neatly solved the jump animation problem (needing to start the animation before the button press to make it look both real and responsive) by inventing autojump. Skyward Sword uses autojump but starts the animation too late and it looks janky.

    Another problem is that the controls try to use just one button 99% of the time, but with the new parkour style movement and all the other interactions with the world, you're often left sitting around, fiddling, trying to get the context to switch to the command you want. It's like the old move/climb dilemma in Ocarina of Time, but worse!

    I want the windhelm house because it is in a cool place and it looks cool on the outside but wiki has confirmed that it looks as dreary as the other windhelm houses on the inside.

    the riften house looks cosy as shit on the inside, but riften is shit.

    hm.

    It's also a much more cinema heavy experience, and often it'll do the trademark ITEM GET musical sting with Link striking a pose in the middle of a serious conversation! Skyward Sword is a huge modernization of the franchise, with tons of old things that don't make sense other than as Zelda legacy getting the boot. The transition is really jarring and I wish they'd left that out too.

    Then save up for a not-shitty house.

    I'm just trying to decide what house to get.

    Solitude house is in a shit place.

    Windhelm house is shit.

    Riften house is in a shit place.

    Whiterun house is shit.

    Guess that leaves Markarth.

    Yeah, I mean I'm sure there are racists in markarth too, but in general they seem to be assholes completely independent of the stormcloak racists and the imperial douchebags. There's like old money markarth assholes and super old no-money forsworn assholes. Markarth-specific assholery going on all up ins.
