Must use to learn from the experts!!
(In all seriousness, seeing how quickly and easily you did that background I gotta learn to get better at that).
This is awesome.

I think it is blonde, just a dirty, more brown-ish blonde and being backlit makes it look darker.
The blonde is definitely lighter for Link

Approaching the end of my first playthrough (act 3) and I just adore this game.
There are a few moments I can remember from the opening that foreshadow but I’m sure there’s plenty I missed first time through

I agree devs should be allowed to make games as easy or difficult as they want.

But then equally (and I’m not saying you are, just saying generally) players should be allowed to say “I don’t like this game because it’s too difficult” without the ridicule of “lol get gud”

A simple small fire spell to help with lighting fires/ovens/candles etc.
Probably wouldn’t learn it until you’re a late teenager/adult though (kids would set too much on fire)

The DE versions of 1 and X really helped. So with DE’s I’d say:
3 > 1DE > XDE > 2
But if we’re only ranking the originals I’d say:
3 > 2 > 1 > X

I do think I agree with your placements. But they’re all so close I think a 2DE could easily push that to the top if done well. They’re all great games

In which case
Xenoblade Chronicles X

Shulk and Rex are at least middle-aged in Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed
Would that count as “old”?
Or we talking grey hair and wrinkly?

Pretty much every episode with Sacha Dhawan’s Master is great

Would recommend restarting with the 60th anniversary specials.
Those are great and it’s been good since then (Ncuti’s 2nd series is better than his first)

So many high points
- The Zygon 2 parter (that speech!)
- The Husbands of River Song
- Heaven Sent
- The Doctor Falls
- Twice upon a Time
And so many more

There’s the odd good one in there but they’re few and far between. (Not Jodie’s fault though, it’s the writing that fails)

I’ve been hearing DS called retro for years…

Order is important

1st gets 10 points, 2nd gets 9, 3rd gets 8 etc.

Then the totals determine the final ranking overall

There’s several pretty good entry points. So I’d definitely say it’s never too late

Unless you’re speedrunning the Tingle Tuner really isn’t useful
