In this journal thread, I don't talk my usual subjects of religion, spirituality, politics, and transgenderism. I'll see how long not talking those 4 subjects lasts me. Okay, so...
Ever since a kid, I've been complimented on the look of my hands. I don't think they're that great. Sometimes near the knuckles they even grow hair. Playing the Nintendo 64 gives them blisters. That plastic thumbstick against those hard Zelda bosses including the Skull Kid.
And I realize this thread may be pretty hands-on, but I'll try not to let things get out of hand.
There was another subject I wanted to talk about, but I can't put my finger on what it was. Oh yes...
Zelda: Ocarina of Time was an amazing game for me. As a kid, I found it scary, but rather interactive and thrilling.
A family member of mine isn't very good at RPGs or action/adventure games. When we got Zelda Majora's Mask, I knew he'd never make it through the first of the game, so I coached him on what to do. He got mad and said I spoiled the fun. After that, I kind of stopped giving video game tips in real life. Even though he never would have made it with that time limit, and would have cursed the game anyway.
Speaking of weird accusations, one time I was asked to go fishing as a kid. I turned it down to play Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The people who went fishing, came back with fish to fry - two little bitty fish. They spent all day fishing to get that. The fish were fried and everyone got a piece. I was the only person to reach for a second piece. The fish was delicious, but there was hardly anything there. Then I heard one of my prized fishermen say: "He (speaking about me) chose to stay home and not help us fish - then he dived in and ate all the fish!"
So yeah. I'll be fair, maybe there is an element of truth.... maybe I would rather sit on my bottom than handle slimy worms and bait hooks.
In the words of some Nickelodeon girl I used to watch.... "What-evahhhh!"
