Re: Talking Point: One Year On, Has Everyone Beaten Ganondorf In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?

Like others are saying, I got bored as well and put the game down. I'm probably only 5% complete. I do plan on going back to it though. It's a less colorful version of botw. Just felt too much like I'd already been there and done that.
In theory, it seems logical to use the same world map. It's a great map and, it's the same world. In reality, it makes for a bit of a duller replay.

Re: Mini Review: Picross S5 - You Know The Drill By Now, Surely?

I dumped 100+ hours into the last picross release several months ago , and for a couple reasons I will not be partaking in this latest round.

1. Burnout. Quite simply, I'm just burned on picross. Somewhere towards the end of that last binge, I found the point where I had had enough.

2. Too many easy to medium puzzles and not enough hard. The easy, small puzzles are great for beginners learning the game, but after a while you find those tiny little puzzle boards no longer satisfy. The balance should lean towards the more difficult puzzles for those of us sticking around for the latest incarnations of picross.

Re: Nintendo Named And Shamed As Benefiting From The Use Of Chinese Forced Labour Camps

@dew12333 When you take a close look at the actual document that this article is linked to, what you find is that it is well documented and supported by links to other reputable sources. Im still reading through the document. There's no doubt that China is using these despicable practices.

What I havent found so far, and keep in mind I have quite a bit still to read, is the evidence that links these specific companies. I have no reason to believe the companies listed are saints and are not involved. On the contrary I believe they probably are. But Ive yet to see the evidence other than allegations in the article. If Ive missed it, please point it out.

Edit: Ok, Ive read enough now that I am convinced that the article is legit. Do some basic research on Foxconn if youre unconvinced. Shame on anyone who turns a blind eye on this and wont at least acknowledge that it is happening.
