Links Awakening (GB version). As a kid, I have memories of just wandering about talking to all the characters and not knowing what to do to progress. As an adult, I can see why, and have had to consult an online guide to find out what to do. How did I ever manage it as a kid?

I player Scarlet again for the first time since the TotK release, but I feel like there’s not anything to do. I kind of put me off even bothering with the DLC, although I know I will buy it

It says that the US did most lf the fighting, so felt entitled to take the lion’s share and were the only ones with the A-bomb so felt they could dictate what they wanted. And the Allies were not in a good financial position to sustain another occupation. It makes some degree of sense, but I don’t understand why the exact same arguments didn’t apply to Korea just across the sea.

By “Japan proper”, do you mean Honshu? I think yours is a good answer, but it still feels a bit weird. The Soviets invaded South Sakhalin in mid-August 1945 and finished on 25 August. From Sakhalin to Hokkaido looks about 30 miles. It wasn’t until 28 August that any US forces landed in Japan (excluding Okinawa). So I feel that the Soviets were in a good position to also land in Japan, assuming they had the numbers and transport means.

There’s also a section in the wiki article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrender_of_Japan) about how Japan were trying to get the Soviets more involved in the surrender negotiations in the hope that they could avoid unconditional surrender, but the Soviets were simply stalling so that they could maneouver into position in the Far East.

The division of Korea as also a bit weird in that they agreed to split across the 38th parallel, but the Soviets got to that line a few days ealier than the US, but upheld the agreement and didn’t go any further.

I had a period (~5 years) of not playing any games before playing it, and it’s not a very interesting choice since it got good reviews, but I really feel like Zelda Breath of the Wild is such a well-made game bordering on masterpiece.

It’s somehow less annoying if there’s a reason for it than it just being a random unknown bug, so thanks for the explanation.

I was trying to subscribe to kbin magazines the other day, but there’s something weird going on. https://kbin.social/m/korean shows two posts, but https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] shows none. Actually subscribing works but doesn’t reveal anything.

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen human extinction floated as a likely outcome, but food and water shortages could lead to deaths in the millions, which I can’t even comprehend at the moment

It was a relatively easy choice, but it took a long time for me to get my head around what the fediverse was and how it worked. I lurked for a good while on a few different instances before eventually creating an account. I do still check in on the small community I nurtured, though. Secretly hoping it’s gone to shit without me.

I think the best is lemmyverse.net. You can search across everything and it seems to be up to date. If you set what your home instance is, it will open links in that instance to subscribe easily.
