  1. ↩️ In reply to by @keithjgrant
    ✍️ Thanks Keith. Aw, this makes me so sad. I hope that we at least get to see a flourishing and full-of-life Hyrule in the sequel. I loved exploring the broken...
  2. ↩️ In reply to Playing music on the web by Neil Mather
    ✍️ I’ve been using Odesli https://odesli.co (formerly Songlink) for a bit of time now, and although I haven’t heard any feedback about it, provides links out to multiple platforms like I...
  3. ↩️ In reply to Justin Avery

  12. ↩️ In reply to Jacky Alciné
    ✍️ That’s totally fair—I think development can and should be a joy wherever possible! I don’t think that strict adherence to a standard trumps happiness—I think the opposite—but I do often...
