OK, Wind Waker. I get a lot of requests for this one. Back when it was revealed, if you can believe this, everyone hated the graphics. The graphics are actually pretty cool, it's like you're playing a cartoon. But ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, if it's a cartoon it's like one played in slow motion! Link moves so SLOW on those stubby little legs of his... like a doped up snail covered in molasses.

Wind Waker? More like ♥♥♥♥ TAKER! The wind isn't the only thing that blows! I'd rather get buried under Dodongo dung! I'd rather get manhandled by Manhandla! I'd rather dig my own grave with Digdogger!

Every choice forecloses other possibilities. You can’t have everything.

And people don’t like that. They want to be omnipotent. But the game says: No. Choose. You can’t be the global presence and the front-line duelist and the burst mage all at once. You must narrow your identity. That’s where power comes from. Voluntarily constraining yourself.

If you can manage that in a little 20-minute match with cartoon characters and glowing circles on the ground, maybe you can manage it in your job, in your relationships, in your community.

Heroes of the Storm isn’t “just a game.” It’s a condensed simulation of cooperation under pressure, with layers of strategic depth, and it will punish your arrogance as reliably as any harsh teacher. But if you engage with it seriously, it can teach you something about how to navigate complex systems, how to be a reliable teammate, and how to bring a bit more order into the chaos.

And that’s… well, that’s not trivial at all.

YOU BEDEVILD EGG, YOU LIMBUMNSIOUS LIMMING, YOU UNGILIDED UGLY SOUL, YOU SPOILED SPARLING, YOU SPEAKER OF THE DARKNESS, YOU DISTRUSTWORTHY DISARMED DEVIL, YOU UNCOOTH COMUGEND, YOU LOST LORD OF THE EVERDARK, YOU VICIOUS VIPER OF LIES

Ganondorf's green skin and red hair represents the Irish. Ganon his original name for his cool pig form was coincidentally Irish but they leaned more into it with his human form on the n64, nintendo were getting very political in the n64 days, bobomb battlefield represented ireland in the troubles also and wet dry world a metaphor for the gulf war, as they subtly introdued the O'Gerud, a development of LTTPs desert a colonial people based on all the people whites oppressed a little arab, indian, irish etc informed their culture

This further developed in WW they wanted to add more depth to the evil king ruling the oppressed peoples or 'monsters' especially in a post 911 world, you see this with the architypically euro ripoff hylians getting more japanese as the games developed, gorons being culturally a race of japanese sumos

As the races were developed and became nuanced and more culturally sensitive then and ONLY then did ganon and monster return to being 2d evildoers

WOW I JUST HECKING LOVE THESE OBTUSE PLATFORMING SECTIONS THAT I DON'T EVEN REALLY KNOW IF I CAN COMPLETE WITH MY CURRENT EQUIPMENT (OR IF IT WILL LEAD TO ANY REWARD, BECAUSE HALF OF THEM DON'T EITHER)!

IT SHOWS THAT THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DEVELOPERS REALLY INTENDED THIS GAME FOR HARDCORE GAMERS THAT LOVE A CHALLENGE, NOT THOSE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ REDDITOID SCRUBS. THERES NOTHING MORE THAT I LOVE THAN SMASHING MY HEAD REPEATEDLY INTO CEMENT FOR NO REASON AT ALL, BECAUSE I'M A REAL GAMER
