slashdot and 9gag are definitely at different ends of the spectrum afaik
isn’t 9gag just a poor man’s 8chan

the two I remember by WS are Interstellar Pig and The Boy who Reversed Himself

I used to love these books when I was a kid… William Sleator too

anyone who says that forgets how bad tv sucked back then
I mean you’d have to at least bring back video stores or something

A Prince with no AAA

maybe they could add a feature where users can set their own meta communities, like a custom collection from all the various instances

Well it’s been a year or two since I’ve played through it, but you’re right the dark world is way harder. Running helps sometimes… hold down one of the buttons. Hold down the sword button to do this charged swing. Also, exploring isn’t just for heart pieces… eg, you get a magic medallion or something after tossing one of those skull-shaped rocks into a circle of stones in the water somewhere. There’s a little house you can buy potions from, but you need a jar. You can catch fairies with a butterfly net and you store them in a jar too iirc.
If there are too many enemies in the room, try and pick them off one at a time. Have patience though, this is just Link and he’s no Master Chief. If you think the dungeons are tough, wait till you get to the boss fights. There’s usually some trick to it you have to figure out

definitely a turnoff for me… years ago when I first discovered Diablo 2 on an old computer at a place I was house-sitting at, I had no internet whatsoever… nothing
that game kept me sane in so many ways

ffmpeg, if you don’t mind the command line… there’s only two options you really have to know for editing, -ss and -t , starting time and length, respectively
eg, ffmpeg input.mp4 -ss 00:01:40 -t 00:05:00 output.mp4
that would clip out five minutes starting at a minute forty seconds in, the file names are obvious

Renegade BBSes -> IRC -> slashdot -> digg -> reddit -> imgur -> discord -> mastadon with plenty of side quests along the way
