Hello everyone, I'm new on Mastodon and I'm excited to be on a social network that is chill, without algorithm and without ads as it feels refreshing, relaxing and the concept of Fediverse / open online is really cool
There are many things I love to talk about but I particularly enjoy talking about Nintendo, JRPGs and Anime.
I don't know if I ever shared this! This is an animation I did when tears of the kingdom development was announced, before it was called that! 2019! First bit of "fame" I ever got, since I was in a manic state and made it very shortly after the teaser.
I've been kinda simmering over an interaction I had like 4-5 years ago. I said I'd like to see a mainline Legend Of Zelda game where you play as Zelda. I got jumped (figuratively) by a few guys who didn't see the point, it's always been Link, and they didn't want it.
So, me, significantly more insecure, trying to be friendly, discussed it with them and we got to a point where it'd be ok if there was at least a choice between Link and Zelda.
No.
These fucking babyass shriveldicks can cope for one damn game where they're not catered to. I don't want a choice. I want a game that Link is fucking dead. D-E-D, Dead. It's all up to Zelda. We've had to put up with lifetimes of male as default, taking in media that centers around men. I'm tired of the consolation prize of "Well, we'll add a gender selection for you". Why is it always (hyperbole for effect) male character, or a choice?
You can deal with one game that's not all about serving you.

A properly remastered PC version of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for :steamdeck: Steam Deck - boasting 60/90FPS, 16:10 aspect ratio, fully capable of quick resume, and running flawlessly on Steam Deck? I’ve got you covered, :deckverse: fam. Keep your eyes peeled!
Reminded that it's both #Eurovision weekend, and the new #Zelda game is out tomorrow… which means I had really better get to work on my @pyconau, @djangocon, @conservancy#FOSSY, and #KiwiPyCon proposals today.
(And everyone else, you should work on your @northbaypython proposals before you get irretrievably distracted too!)
Hi I’m Nika (they/them) and my hobbies are gaming, cooking and baking, knitting and crocheting. I bake my own sourdough bread since 2015. I organise my life with a bullet journal.
I speak German and English.
My posts will be written in English most of the time.
I finally cleared the Vah Naboris Divine Beast quest. I think the worst part of the quest was sneaking through the Yiga Clan hideout. Once that was done, getting to Vah Naboris, stopping it, and climbing into it wasn't too bad.
The rotating cylinder parts of the quest did make my physically queasy, but looking away from my TV helped a lot. The boss of this area wasn't too bad either. #BreathOfTheWild#Zelda#VideoGames#ShareYourGames
I must have penned 100 of these by now as I move around the fediverse week to week and sometimes day to day. Anyway here it goes again...
I'm a #Nintendo fangirl. My first console was the #NES and I've been in love ever since. The #N64 being my favorite console of all time with games like Goldeneye, Mario 64, and #Zelda Ocarina of Time being some of the best games ever made. I know most people had a PlayStation then, but I was always a Nintendo girl.
I watch #horror#movies consistently, and sometimes it feels like I've seen the entire genre. Out of nowhere someone will recommend me a film I hadn't seen, and I'll love it. Routinely makes the genre surprise me in a good way. It's gotten to the point that if it's not a horror film I probably won't watch it.
I like to read, and again, with a slant to horror. #StephenKing being my favorite author ever since I read The Shining as a young teen. #Fantasy, especially #Tolkien, is another fixation. I did see the #LotR movies before I read the books, so I'm probably not as cool as you.
If you don't love #birds we probably can't be friends. I've been bird obsessed for going on 6 years now. Ever since a house sparrow couple decided to nest in my garage I've become a bird nerd. Honestly I don't think it would be possible for me to love anything more than our feathered friends, and it shatters my heart every time I read about #climatechange decimating bird populations. Birds are better than people, full stop.
#Retrocomputing and #nostalgia are another side hobby. Content around the retrotechisphere is certainly in my orbit. I grew up with i386 processors and 9600baud modems in my veins. I would hangout in chatrooms on #BBS servers until 2am (my mom HATED it).
That's basically me minus all the neurodivergency causing disasters in my life, but I'm not here to trauma dump. As long as I have an #Android phone and a Nintendo console I'll be happy.
It's been a year since we first booted up #Zelda#TearsOfTheKingdom! ⚔️🛡️ What do professional cartographers think of this #map of Hyrule? How does it stack up against the perfect 10 out of 10 map in #BreathoftheWild?
What is your "Chicken soup" game?
In essence, what game do you play when you are feeling down, under the weather, or depressed, and what does it do for you?...
