Tears of the Kingdom (Game)
vs Breath of the Wild
TotK has better gameplay, and a more narrative driven story.
However, they feel separate from eachother, with the story suffering by finding the Tears out of order.
BotW's gameplay and story mesh seamlessly, with any choice you make fitting the narrative.
Each does their thing better, but I like both!

Sleeping Dogs: Chapter II
Image by Craiyon When Tom woke up, everything felt strangely... normal. As if the previous day hadn't happened. Or if it were some bizarre dream. After he put on his shirt and overalls, and as he was putting on his socks, he looked out his still dark window, towards the village. Hills of the valley were tinged grey with pre-dawn light, and the black shape of Kinvale was still fast asleep. If Tom squinted, he thought he could see the rough shape of The Cobalt Knight's dragon, Zetreus, sleeping just outside the south gate. But with everything muddled in shadows, he couldn't be sure.

Who Is Clavicular? The Looksmaxxing Streamer Who Ran Over A Stalker In His Cybertruck
What is so damaging to this current culture is the ant-intellectualism which pervades nearly every element of it. Clavicular, real name, Braden Peters equivocates physical form with getting women, making money, and overall being a strong “man.”

Angry People Click More: The Economics of Manufactured Dissent
(Ideas from the book The Economic Policy of Online Media: Manufacture of Dissent, Routledge, 2024) Abstract This article examines the formula ‘angry people click more’ as a core logic of contemporary online media and as a structural transformation of propaganda in the digital age. It argues that the defining feature of the current attention economy is not only the circulation of misinformation, but the systematic deployment of openly implausible claims designed to provoke moral outrage and sustain profitable engagement cycles. The analysis links Oxford’s 2025 Word of the Year ‘rage bait’ to earlier lexical markers of epistemic crisis such as ‘truthiness’ and ‘post-truth’, and situates this trajectory against the older ‘manufacture of consent’ model of Herman and Chomsky. While classical propaganda in totalitarian and mass-media systems sought ideological unity through censorship and the Big Lie, the emerging Propaganda 2.0 model, articulated by Peter Ayolov, monetises anger by manufacturing dissent and deliberately populating the public sphere with absurd, polarising narratives. The article interprets this dynamic through the allegories of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ and Václav Havel’s greengrocer, showing how the move from fearful silence to permanent online rage changes both the psychology and political economy of propaganda. Drawing on Evgeny Morozov’s critique of fake-news moral panics, Frances Haugen’s disclosures about Facebook, and the documentary The Social Dilemma, it concludes that anger has become a tradable asset and that blatant lying has shifted from an authoritarian instrument of control to a market mechanism in a global ‘free trade in slogans’.
