@johnny that's a totally fair point. i have put in my application. thank you for the rec.

@handmade_ghost these are the kinds of places where trees whisper as you walk by.

@johnny @nnenov do you ever worry that, one day, you'll wake up and all your videos will be gone? i.e. the instance shuts down or something? this is the only concern i have making the switch. also, how's the speed? do things up/download quickly and whatnot?

@johnny to answer the parenthetical question: i think Robotnik needs Sonic. he's incomplete without Sonic. there is no challenge in enslaving all the woodland creatures or whatever w/o Sonic there to stop him. the moment Sonic dies is the moment the fun stops for Robotnik. this is my personal theory. he's effectively in love w/ Sonic. this kind of works in reverse to, w/ Sonic being reliant on Robotnik. they complete each other.

@vale good words, enjoyed them. there is certainly some sort of digital gentrification going on. but not only digital, also hardwarical (yes, i just made that word up). consoles still look relatively unique, but what about phones? cars? television sets? how long until everything is like a white cube and/or rectangle? long live the Wii interface, the Motorola Flipout, the '94 Chevy Geo Tracker, the fucking SpongeBob CRT.

so now we've restarted Breath of the Wild in Master Mode.
