Oh aye, very aware of that. Pretty fond of the stuff in general and TAS runs in particular. Just hadn't found one for botw yet that wasn't any% attempts (though I think they're already got those down to a bit over 90 minutes, heh). Did today and figured it might be worth mentioning.

Hrm. Finally ran into a playthrough that looks promising. Done by a critter that's... D-something baamonde. Vids can be found with a search for "zelda speedrunner wild 100%" probably sans quotes. Might rustle up a link in the morning, but it's currently half past midnight and I ain't gon screw around with url tags right now.

Only seven vids to it (so far? I only just finished the first), but the shortest one clocks in at three and a half hours and there's a total of about 52 hours worth of footage. Meanders a lot, but... in a good way, and even after being awake for 24+ hours the guy was pretty on top of things for someone just starting to play. Fairly painless to watch, which is generally just about all I really ask for from gameplay footage. Notable bit of casual vulgarity but generally manages to come off as pretty chill even when the first go at a rock giant bugger ended up squishing him for like fifteen, twenty minutes straight. Every once in a bit there's even some interesting commentary from someone eyeballing the game for speedrun potential, too, which is kinda' neat.

Dunno if I'd recommend it entirely, yet, but if anyone was looking for vids that are at least somewhat more competent than the streamer/LPer norm, it might be worth a check. Gods know it's always something I'm looking for when it comes to games I probably won't play but enjoy watching, and BotW is kinda' freaking amazing just to watch, especially when the person playing is doing an a'ight job of poking around.

... yes? Pretty sure it's yes.

8164
Heh. Be neat if it actually happens. Just as neat if it doesn't.

or maybe something worth a damn like upl.co :P

C'mon man, a functioning healthcare system? Particularly a federal level one? Completely against GOP goals regarding governance. It's a pipe dream and the hookah ain't even legal yet.

8167
And opting in may mean some combination of no home, no education, no transportation, no food, no future if you're dependent on squirreling away money and the rest of your fiscal necessities/commitments leaves only that few thousand a year free, etc., etc. It's definitely stupid on the net and consequently stupid on the personal level, but it's also rather understandable why someone healthy would choose to skimp on the part that isn't having an immediate effect and can actually be dealt with in the future if they're better off by that point, unlike that better off where you're often pretty fucked if you don't deal with the foundational parts now.

Don't mistake it, it's a terrible goddamn idea but it's a terrible goddamn idea that's at least as much symptom as cause of our terrible goddamn healthcare system. Only so much I'll blame the folks choosing to not, at least among those for whom it's a significant burden and not just a fraction of the year's entertainment budget.

Being able to opt out is one of the changes. If you don't have insurance, you don't have insurance. It's just there to fuck you when/if you decide to try to opt back in. Least is how I've seen it explained, so far, and reading the actual writing (title 1, subtitle b) seems to back it.

8169
Kicks in once they try to get back on coverage, apparently. Haven't seen commentary as to how constitutional it is, though yeah, I'd probably guess the answer is a fairly distinctive "not".

8170
The point still stands :P

Less flippantly, trump and his lot are a pretty heavy yoke around the neck of congressional republicans, who haven't really been pursuing much of a strategy besides "make gov't smaller and worse functioning" for while now even without that. Strategy, even assuming they can manage to attempt it, is going to be pretty sketchy for a good long time unless there's some serious and sudden changes to how they operate.

8171
If you're looking for political savvy, you're... kinda' looking at the wrong administration. It's going to be a while before you see political strategy out of that lot become much of a thing. If ever.

That... might explain it. Though I've seen a couple that at least claimed to be going in blind, didn't look at the demos and whatnot, and it still didn't seem to register. Still, that's pretty plausible.

... so, tell me. I'm not sure if it's endemic as it feels, but of the seven or eight playthroughs I've checked so far, it happened in all of them. What's up with people ignoring the incredibly visible flying thing you can see somewhat leftward of the castle, from the plateau? Seen approaching a dozen people look near the thing, and no one so much as comments, not even the chats if they're visible. No pan over, no zoom, no mention, no nothing. Words and attention have been given by one person or another to basically everything notable on the skyline, but not the freaking giant flying wozgummy.

8174
It's less that and more one or more groups are just violently misusing the term, to the extent it causes quite a bit of muddyment.

Fortunately not for very long after you set them on fire.

... though only do that if they're alone or in small numbers. If they've rolled up into the spider orgy ball the fire will only make things worse.
