Nintendo Switch (Currently Plagued) - Here we shit post about the new Nintendo console, The Switch

That’s Shiren. Shin’en (who’s only been around since 1999, not SNES) is most well-known for the Fast Racing games.
And I’ve never played Shiren, but the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games are great.
Never mind I am high
Shin'en is made of these guys, just as a professional company. As Abyss they've been active since '92.
And potato'd
My guess is he wants BOTW to spill out all its lore. There is a big Zelda YT community that has spend years autistically piecing the lore of the game together (not unlike Dark Souls) and making theories about it, I suppose.
It's been a while since I played BOTW, but wasn't much of the story laid out in the open? I'm sure the races had some historic details most people would miss, but I don't think it'd be that deep compared to something deliberately ambiguous like Dark Souls.

Its because spergs want to know about timelines and games connecting to each other, even though they largely don't. If the specific events of a game aren't directly mentioned (not easter eggs like town layouts) then the two should just be assumed to not be related because they aren't.

Wasn’t Nintendo’s official explanation that BotW is so far into the future that it could be in any timeline because everything has eventually happened?

Something like that, along with saying that everything before it has faded into an poorly documented myth. But it won't stop the spergs from trying to piece it together by analyzing every last fence in BotW

No, clearly this random farmstead has existed for thousands of years. This random fishing village hasn't changed the layout of its huts in centuries.

If it was so far into the future that everything else happened, there would have been no recognizable ruins of Lon Lon Ranch. Yet in the game, you have man made wooden structures that are still standing which suggests that only a couple decades have gone by. Because if it was centuries there would have been nothing left at that point.

Kinda. There are some things in botw that have no explanation and sort of just exist. The Zonai, the leviathans, the lord of the mountain. They are left ambiguous and not really explained sp people theorize about it. It is about to become a very profitable youtube launching pad too, albeit a bit oversaturated.

It's a fucking Easter egg.

Lon Lon ranch was destroyed in the calamity before link went into a coma with a bunch of other towns. The BOTW DLC teaser text initially hinted you'd get to have an adventure in the non-destroyed version of the hyrule map you see glimpses of in cutscenes but then they just relegated it to brief cutscenes. I think part of this might be due to the fact they didn't have a fully realized non-ruined lon lon ranch but it's just pure speculation on my part.

I can't remember if I pointed this out in here or not and if I did it was years ago but in terms of Easter eggs Eventide island is the most fucked implication wise because it's the ruins of Koholint Island, an Island that kinda manifested wayyyy off the coast of Hyrule in the middle of the fucking ocean because a giant flying whale called the windfish just so happened to fall asleep in the right place at the right time that his dreams became sentient and started bleeding into reality somehow. Sure it's spoilers for Links awakening but yeah it's basically Koholint without the wind fish egg which means he fucking DIED in the timeline the game takes place in as it being there like that could only happen if Link's awakening never fucking happened. The antagonist's plot in Links awakening was to make sure the wind fish never woke up so the monsters in the "dream" could become truly real and rule the island. Video essay people that talk about Zelda almost 100% of the time just chalk Link's awakenings plot and ending to just "oh link's just in a dream in a coma cause he wakes up on a login the middle of the ocean" completely disregarding the part where the Windfish water spouts him into the air as the island VISIBLY DISINTEGRATES.
It's still a really cool easter egg a few years after the fact because you could probably take some other additional worldbuilding lore implications from it. Kind of like how the lost woods and the great plateau are clearly artificially swapped locations.
 
I (mostly) quit drinking

This is a huge thing with completing games/reading books/watching TV series/listening to podcasts with me.

When i'd have a few beers my plans to finish New Game 7: The New Gaminging would go out the window and i'd start randomly watching Youtube videos or playing some zone-out game like CoD or WoW.

in ago of calamity the farm is a level in the game and not ruins, so they place existed or got rebuild over the years
 
Although this is not about the Nintendo Switch, Steam Summer Sales (and the Winter ones) cause people to go full-on CONSOOME mode and mass buy games, even if they don't play them.
I'm in way too deep. I can't buy any new games until 2025. If Nintendo drops a new console w/o backwards compatibility I'll have nothing to lose and no way out. It can only end with an armed standoff with the police at that point.

It's more likely to end just like the Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough at Last" only instead of broken glasses it's going to be broken joycons.
