if the writers of ocarina of time didn't want players misgendering him so much they should have called him Heik
What would they call him? Sorry you hiccuped a little there

It sounds like I’m playing a video game and someone is trying to sell me potions. :D
…that is exactly what it sounds like
General tumblr reminder, since some people don't know: If the person's URL has "deactivated" plus a string of numbers (a date) after it, that means that they manually deleted their own blog. It doesn't mean they were banned. Banned blogs don't have "deactivated" after them and will just be the normal URL you can't click on or interact with. They look very similar and function the same, but they were caused by two very different things.
game of chess but with real people but all the pawns are trans women and if they get to the eighth rank they get a lifetime supply of estrogen
It is too. they just have to take some pieces to not get in each other's way.
Are there enough pieces to do that for every pawn though?
yes. easily.
Show me.

Interesting that both go beyond the original parameter of "promote all pawns" and also avoided capturing any of the promoted queens or the original queen, thus also making the maximum number of possible Queens on the board (18 Queens!). I suspect it would be possible to shorten the number of moves a little if you allowed Queens (whether original or promoted) to be captured. It's also funny in that White and Black kept alternating between having forced mate sequences
it's been incredibly freeing to realize that i'm entitled to never having to come up with anything original ever again because i already made cookie clicker and i can be satisfied with that. sorry this isn't meant to be relatable the rest of y'all still gotta try
"hey orteil you posted a joke but someone else already made that post like a month ago" don't care. popularized a game genre

Aren’t we all
interesting how, in the realm of fiction, there are some morally reprehensible behaviors that are "acceptable" for someone's character to have, and some that wait a minute post canceled. My cat who doesn't like cuddles just settled directly into my lap for the first time in the 10 years I've known her
This is all that matters now
i love fake plot holes
little inconsistencies that at first you assume "oh, the author must have fucked up", but then later on you realize that no, it was on purpose, they wanted you to think they fucked up but they hadnt
related: when you think "this has Implications the author didn't think about" and then it turns out the author was thinking about them the whole time
Warning: if you get into the habit of doing this then you can never make a legitimate mistake again. Your audience will swarm over every minor inconsistency that they'd otherwise skim past or ignore, because you have trained them to expect that an impossible timeframe is not a math error made at 3am but is in fact a hint towards a major plot twist that you're going to introduce in about ten chapters' time.
