so much snappier than running on emulator.

Yep, that's because it's a decompilation of the original game's code under the hood, which was then recompiled as a native PC application.

Meaning Nintendo can't do shit about it, unless HarbourMasters decides to start making charging for their PC ports?

I love it! 60fps, high quality textures, and quality of life options make it feel so much better to play.

If you haven't already, grab a hi res texture pack. OoT in 2k at 200fps is awesome.

I absolutely love playing oot randomizers, and I actually just beat my first Dark Soul 3 rando this week. If the tricks and glitches are scaring you off you can leave the "Enable Tricks" section like it is and you shouldn't need to do any crazy things to get to the end. I'd also recommend getting a tracker, linked below. I'd recommend the EmoTracker map, you click on the items you have and the map updates to show what is available. Green means you have everything available to finish a dungeon or get a chest, yellow means it'll need an easy glitch or trick, orange for a more difficult glitch, and red is unavailable at the moment. They are super useful if you aren't sure where to go or if you forget about a single odd chest that could have what you need.

If you do try a rando in the future I hope you enjoy it!

Oh yea dude in that case the one linked above is for you! They have easy seeds that basically let you switch things up in a digestible and fun fashion.

There's all kinds of randomizers. There's ones called "no logic" where anything can be placed anywhere and it can be unbeatable if you don't know the ins-and-outs of all kinds of glitches and bypasses. On the flip side, there are beginner friendly randomizers that keep items "in logic," wherein items can never be placed behind a check you cannot pass (e.g., the hookshot will never be in a place you need the hookshot to get to).

As a switch 2 owner I’ve been eating GOOD. I think it’s the console with the best exclusives by far.

Todd Howard: Every 10-15 years? Those are rookie numbers!

I think video game remakes will be a thing long after millenials are gone, just like movie remakes. And I bet most of them will be disappointing, with the occasional faithful or even surpassing remake, just like with movies.

It would be cool to chart the distance in time between the original video game and all remakes. It'd be cool to see which games get evergreen remakes, and which go through unpopular periods before a renaissance. People will always remake the classics, but I bet most remakes will go in a cyclic fashion of cashing in on middle-aged nostalgia.

It's also included on the Collector's Edition on GameCube, along with Majora's Mask, the original Legend of Zelda, and Zelda II.

Honestly Fable was getting a tad messy by the third game, starting over from scratch but using the original as a framework is probably the only way to do it. I feel like if Bethesda were to do a remake of any of the pre Morrowind games it'd be the same way, also I really wish they would remake Redguard because its such a cool game idea wrapped in a jank fest of an engine which funfact is technically 2d fucken Bethesda black magic.
