Ranking (Canon) Zelda Games | 2021

The canon (that means no CD-I, Hyrule Warriors, or even, sadly, Lampshade of No Real Significance Zelda Games. I originally used Tiermaker for this, which you can see in the video version of this post (linked down below). For this version of the content, I've reorganized it so that the games appear in their actual order. You'll see my least favorite first, then we'll work our way up to my favorite Zelda game out of all of them.

My Favorite Story Genres

I’m going to say right off the bat that I think that genre is loose, weird, and ultimately up to interpretation. You can usually discern if something is sci-fi, contemporary, or fantasy (though some stories even like to mix and mash these broader genres). However, once you get into subgenres, things get really messy and you end up with completely meaningless in-fighting among readers over whether or not something qualifies as a particular genre.So, I acknowledge that I’m being a bit hypocritical by listing my favorite genres and story types when I don’t actually think subgenres have consistent or reliable definitions. I don’t want to argue about whether a particular book meets some particular website’s specific definition of a single subgenre, so take my list here with a grain of salt; it’s my subjective opinion.

Create a Homebrew Campaign | #2: Micro View

In this session, we’re going to zoom into the map and focus on one of those regions and one population center within it. You should select a region that has a few interesting features to it, rather than something that is less interesting like a grassy plain or desert. Those can be made interesting, of course, but we want to pick an area that’s interesting right from the start, for this. Note that this is going to be where we write the first arc, too, so keep that in mind when selecting the region you’re going to focus on for this.

A Week in Los Angeles with My Friends

Welcome to another of my personal posts! Today, I wanted to talk about a vacation I took toward the end of September, this year. I’m going to try to keep this short, but it was a pretty long, packed week that I had with five of my friends, so there’s a lot of ground to cover. I’ve also struggled with figure out how I’m going to break this down. I initially wanted to break this down into each of the seven days that we had in Los Angeles, but I think it’ll be easier to just break it down into the different categories of activities that we had.
