At first I thought it was Guts' wolf armor in sketchy shadow style but the longer I look, the less sure I am.

Ah, is he. Is he.

This had a chance to be the thing that pulled me back into the MCU. I can't quite place why, but the name change put me completely off of it.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is amazing

You should click the link.

Nintendo games never go on sale. And if somebody buys a Switch game, dumps the ROM, and sells it to you, your Nintendo account gets banned because the ID in the header matches the one being distributed over the Internet.

Because they... sold more copies?

Hmm. I'm not sure these count.
A) they're supposed to be mysterious
B) the progression makes sense, even if the key is in one of several burned books on a bookshelf among many other similar keys, or given to you in one of the bad endings.

The information is there, you just have to work for it.

I haven't played Myst III, that was by a different company, right?

It's a secret to everyone!

I'm playing Oracle of Ages for the first time in a while, and it is not great! The level design is flawed. The eighth dungeon is a a dark room, some ghosts, and a hint owl that tells you to "attune your ears to the sound of sword on stone" which, right, standard Zelda fare, good of them to make explicit the reminder. But none of the walls clank! You need to push one of the non-pushable statues out of the way, in the dark, to even expose the bombable wall. I went over the whole place twice, and then thought "oh maybe they're doing a cool metapuzzle thing and I've got to leave the dungeon and bomb a new entrance" so I went out and tested the whole area with my sword and then bombed everything in case I was just misinterpreting the clank sound.

The underwater dungeon had the interesting raise/lower water level mechanic, but I explored in loops for an hour before looking up where to go next. I'm not saying it's supposed to be easy, I like a challenge, but it felt like the layout was deliberately withholding information, which is bad design.

The Long Hook is an upgrade for the Switch Hook. The improvment is marginal and the puzzles that require it feel confusing (I finally have the tool for this but it's not working (before you know about the L2 version)), forced (this is the same puzzle but the anchor object is two tiles further away) or frustrating (oh of course I was supposed to know about the offscreen anchor).
The Long Hook has an entire dungeon dedicated to it.

It seems all my fond memories are actually from Oracle of Seasons. I wonder if they had parallel teams working on them.

Or, if you never intend on using multiple virtual desktops, you can go into (I'm assuming KDE) keyboard shortcut settings and unbind Alt-F3 so it can pass into Valheim.

That is my personal preference, yes. But LMDE is the perfect overlap of "just use Mint" and "don't use Ubuntu".

Well now it has one.
What's everyone playing? I just tried out Round the Table with The Professor and I love all the multiple opponents stuff.

 

This flat square of plastic doesn't sound so bad!
It came in the Bloom County comic collection shown in the picture (Billy and the Boingers), and contains two tracks performed by a fictional in-universe band.
It's probably not technically vinyl.
