The post made me snicker. The bonus panel elicited a barked laugh that dislodged a big hunk of chest snot that had been bothering me. Thanks for that, I hate being sick.

I skipped over it initially when it showed up in my YT feed. Unknown (to me) channel, bizarre thumbnail, etc. Then I saw people on that other site talking it up and gave it a shot. Freakin masterpiece!
This has to be the 3rd or 4th time someone has made/posted a meme about an episode just before my SO and I got there. On one hand, it's great: I have stuff in my back pocket to show her immediately after watching. On the other... it's kinda creepy lol.
I'm with you on it being clickbaity. But this particular series I've been watching for a few years now. And I gave it a shot because of the host — in the BotW days (and possibly TotK as well), Max/Rin was one of the folks finding the crazy stuff, particularly with combat. He would discuss and post clips and how-to's on R*ddit and YT, and was part of the reason "everyone knew" about certain things. At some point he got picked up by GameSpot and the current format was born. It's clean and corporate, but the host has bona fides.
It's disorienting as hell. While there's valid criticisms about the emptiness of the depths, the feeling of initial exploration (pre-hoverbike etc.) was masterfully done IMO. I can't count how many times I went to throw/shoot a bright bloom and it landed three feet in front of my face on a wall or a root I couldn't see lol. Seeing the first Yiga base in the distance and wondering what that dim red sentry robot was, the first Frox, vast gloom swamps, armored freakin Lynels... yeah, it's creepy. And I loved it lol.
opens video, sees white horse and minimal stamina
Reading these replies, it feels like I'm the only one that didn't automatically take the carpet bombing approach. 😂 They're doable with regular melee. If you suck at combat like me, tanking and food-chugging is a valid method. Dazzlefruit works (briefly), as do elementals. I wouldn't be surprised if someone figured out a way to chain ice and lightning strikes a la BotW to get a stun lock on the whole group at once.
(I'm going to try and be vague in the interest of not being spoilery for those that haven't played.) So, I did a lot of TotK "out of order," being not very good at following directions and much more likely to follow whatever just caught my attention. Which meant that I found myself trying to skydive into the Lost Woods when I realized that I was above it. And then being determined to get in when I kept voiding out. All with 5 hearts and maybe two geoglyphs. So my first "hands-on" experience was during that quest with jack-all for maneuverability room. I died several times before going back with a ton of sundelion snacks. The encounter on the plateau still startled the hell out of me lol.
(Not too much later I finished that quest and got the sword glyph (I forget in what order)... and then I finally decided to follow Impa to the temple like she had suggested many game hours ago. And I could have saved myself some grief (and spoilers) if I had just followed instructions rather than rampage across the countryside willy nilly. >_> )
Though that might just be a caching thing. tl;dr kbin is buggy... I just really like the web interface >_>
The original formatting works just fine within Voyager FWIW. Apollo for Lemmy when?
🪦🫡
...wait, no. @magmaus3@szmer.info 's comment doesn't have a link at all in Voyager. It just ends at the colon. That's weird.
And it also didn't render my @ mention properly. Kbin did. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
I thought we were the People's Front of Bajor(a)?
That right there is a union man. He transports strikebreakers to strange new walls.
