@halva It may more be your preconceived notions of what you are allowed to do, and rules you are supposed to follow you have internalized from your experience with other sandbox games are limiting your intrinsic motivation and making you more expectant of extrinsic motivation.
Although I wouldn't be playing botw today, it was made completely obsolete by totk.
I hear that Gmail has recently started objecting to more mail from non-Gmail senders than usual.
So if you use Gmail, it might be a good idea to keep a closer eye than usual on your spam folder. (And mark non-spam as non-spam.)
And if you donβt use Gmail, and youβre waiting an unusually long time for a response to something that you sent to a Gmail user, it might be worth contacting them via other channels to make sure the mail reached them.
