  • But it’s not cents on the dollar, that’s the problem, it’s just cents, and then more cents, and more cents again, regardless of if you’re selling more. The issue here is that every install costs the developer money. It’s not just a cut being taken from the sales, it’s money coming directly out from the developer’s pocket, in addition to the cut being taken from the sales. And there’s no limit on how many times people could reinstall games, meaning that these charges could just keep going well after a purchase has been made.









  • Hisuian balls are really beautiful, I love the handcrafted vibe they give off, it’s how I always imagined the traditional apricorn balls looking in Johto.

    That said, I’m a sucker for the basic pokeball, that’s all I ever really use in games. Beyond that, I do have a fondness for the designs level ball and the lure ball, specifically, they have really nice patterns and colours.


  • One glitch I came upon was in gen 2 when I had tried to clone one of my pokémon. I ended up creating a chimaera between my Arcanine and my Golduck. Sometimes it would appear as a water type Arcanine with Golduck’s moves, and sometimes as a fire type Golduck with Arcanine’s moves. So I suppose in a way, back in the day I had accidentally created the mythical water type Arcanine that everybody now seems to want as a regional form! I’ve had a water type Arcanine before regional forms were cool!



  • I’m still not 100% sure if I like the art style. I do think it looks cute and it is very polished (in more ways than one). I would’ve liked to see something perhaps a little bit closer to the photographs taken throughout the game. Other than the visuals, there was just a lot of expression in Link’s face in those photographs, and the style we got makes the characters feel a little bit rigid.

    That said, the game will always be quite special to me, so no matter what the graphics, just visiting Koholint island is such a good vibe. A fun and concise game, no more and no less than is necessary to make for a memorable adventure and a perfect setting.

    I hope we get new 2D adventures that share this kind of spirit of Zelda that the 3D games are just too big to capture.

    Yep, Mixed Member Proportional system means that you get to elect someone to represent your area, and know that the overall makeup of the parliament will be proportional to the overall party votes received.

    And as you mention, a form of ranked choice voting is still needed for any “finite seat” vote, such as local representatives, where you’re electing individuals rather than groups.

    FPTP is a horrendous system and all it does is incentivise strategic voting, which is problematic because ideally we should all vote for whatever suits our interests and beliefs, without worrying about whether our votes are being wasted.
