Step one: Photocopy/transcribe the books to a digital medium.
Step two: Post that shit online any and every where you can.
Step three: Figure out the rest later.

Eh... AM's better in the latest patch, but so far as I'm aware it's still suboptimal even for will prime classes. You're probably not rolling with a handicap, heh.

Eh, the size thing is explained trivially by magic shark antics or metamorphosis shenanigans. King probably started small and got huge. That a few of the older zoras appear to have notably different forms than younger ones actually seems to suggest that as a likelihood instead of just an explanation.  Presumably a zora in their second or third century or whathaveyou go through something like a second puberty, with the royal lineage (at least for males) inclined towards a sort of gigantism.

The rest, well, the answer is always magic. It solves all conundrums, including oversized humanoid fishpeople and their interspecies possibilities.

... let's not go conjecturing specifics, though. Probably a bit over the line being straddled, that.

It's alright, really. However existent biology works, magic fishman biology works as differently as necessary.

In any case, the difference between a fishwife and a fish waifu is only that of a clade or three. Let us not speak ill of link's piscene preferences.

Pretty sure that last bit just got patched out, actually. Seem to recall mention of the behavior being nixed in the 1.5.0 changelog.

Eh... there isn't, really. Just about everything in the game like that has pretty clear warnings (zone entry feelings, vault warnings, popups, etc.), though it's entirely willing to let you go ahead and bumrush a gaggle of ancient wyrms if you're going to insist on it. Even RNG based stuff (rares, randbosses) have unique coloring and information on their talents and a bit on their kit just an inspect away. Knowing ahead of time certainly makes it easier, but in general if you're in over your head you put yourself there pretty intentionally, heh. Not too much in the game that isn't pretty explicit one way or another it's about to try abnormally hard to kill you. People just seem to like ignoring all the bits and bobs implemented to tell them to be careful, for some odd reason :P

Though yeah, if you were fighting the minion undead in the main chamber you were basically committing suicide. Dealing with them first is workable (usually a decent idea, even) if you can break line of fire with the boss by ducking into one or the side rooms, but trying to do it while in plain sight of the necromancer is just asking for a bucketload of arcane death to be dropped on you, heh. If you're stuck fighting in there you pretty much have to blitz the boss down if you're going to survive, at least if you're not silly overpowered for one reason or another.

Hey man, gotta' let the private research industry do their thing. Because they're certainly going to stick around when huge chunks of their funding is gone, the rest no longer require them to be US affiliated, and half their research staff is being harassed at best due to being brain drain fellows here on visas or whatever.

Ho yez, dis is 'ow yu incentvice de research. Put it in vice made ov pennies, squeeze hard and votch dem scream :3

Amusingly enough, al, the graveyard is often easier when you go in early. Less chance of higher tier undead with nastier talents to pop out. I usually hit it around level seventeen or so. Tends to fit into my early game circuit after the fortress but before the mountain.

... though yeah, never leave the graves undisturbed unless you're farcically overpowered. Trying to take the boss with a junkload of classed undead pouring in behind you is like an early game room of death, except probably less survivable, ha.

You say that like making a seraglio out of the entire zora's domain isn't implied.

Like him or not (I say not), it's essentially merely a return to the status quo that existed prior to Scalia's death, not any particularly drastic change.
Except it's not, because you'd have someone even more hostile to humanity and judicial sanity/scruples/etc. than scalia was, sitting there when there's a strong probability of at least one more supreme court position opening up while he's still alive and in the position. The status quo prior to scalia didn't have one or more SC seats likely to open in the next four or so years, and gods help me for saying it in the face of his later years, but scalia actually had something approaching judicial merit in comparison to the guy. Gorsuch being confirmed would definitely be a notable change, not just a return to the status quo. He's a different sort of beast than scalia, even if the latter was relatively similarly aligned. Change might not necessarily be drastic, but it's not a return to the same.

8081
Man, having now seen some of gorsuch's history, I'm not particularly uncomfortable saying that risking that is worth keeping the critter away from a SCOTUS position. Dude's pretty fucked up. Like, "please resurrect scalia and give him his seat back" levels of fucked up. The next fight is the next fight, gorsuch gets the seat and we're stuck with it until the blighter croaks.

... didn't that happen like a week or two ago, too? Maybe was the initial paperwork or somethin'.

I guess I could see it. Urbosa was perhaps oddly unsurprised to see link, when others in that scene didn't seem to be expecting him at all...

Thaaat said, he probably came across as more interested in the ladies than normal for a zelda game, this time around. Fish mistress OT3. It's always interesting to learn fantasy innuendo for playing doctor.

Hey, given enough time 500 untrained monkeys could build a PC, assuming an indefinite amount of parts and immortal or replacement monkeys.

... also it's a really bad analogy to use regarding Dom 4. The demon apes may become unamused.

Other thought would be to just instakill everyone involved in the casting. Globals cast that way would be inherently temporary, but possibly undispellable or able to exist outside the normal global pool. Basically a very expensive panic button, most of the time. Probably have something or another blood magic related that increases effectiveness or gives a chance for the casters to survive (maybe at the cost of random other commanders, preferring non-casters in the same province?). You could do a lot with that without worrying too much about abuse, since it would be rather impressively costly and time consuming.
