Heavy disagree, end-game spoilers don't need to be stated so openly; I've added a spoiler tag to your post.

For real  

Are we also not allowed to talk about how

Dude. Spoilers.

Not for me, I've finished it, but SPOILERS!

There is a finite window of time after the game releases that you have to take care not to share any spoilers.

If anyone hasn’t played the game by now, that’s their problem.

This looks bad. And I mean good

Well, after approximately 170 hours, I decided to beat the game and take a break.  I plan to eventually come back and finish everything that is remaining, but I'm ready to move on to some other games.  Overall, I think I enjoyed this game more than BOTW, although I think BOTW started and ended better than TOTK.  But overall, the additions to TOTK makes it the superior game.

My ending statistics:

Not gonna lie, Dark Queen (alongside Jessica Rabbit, Elvira and a few other provocative female figures) was one of the early catalysts for my stumblings into sexual awakening.

Eh.. I guess everyone has their type  

More indiscriminate killings from Israeli Defense Forces. They bombed a Christian with 400 Christians taking shelter:

Hamas is absolutely a political party. They may also be a terrorist organization as the two are not mutually exclusive. However, they were a political party first and then became a terrorist organization when they started doing acts of terrorism.

Hamas is basically a sovereign nation, ruling over Gaza with an iron fist -- murdering anyone that politically does not align with their fundamentalist ideals.

Hamas is not a nation. They are a radicalized political party that wants to remove the Israeli government. Before the conflict they had flimsy control over Gaza and lots of people didn’t agree with them and were not at risk of losing their lives. As a matter of fact, Netanyahu’s equally radical government wanted Hamas to be the government in Gaza because of the “threat” it poses to Israel. He never wanted a two state solution to begin with. He wanted Gaza to be run by an enemy so he could justifiably wipe Gaza off the map.

I agree that Israel should NOT do the same thing as Hamas -- and they certainly do not. Unlike Hamas they try to avoid civilian casualties.

It seems the Israelis on the ground disagree and also President Biden disagrees and his White House staff disagrees. They must all be antisemites too right?

The IDF was firing helicopter rockets and tank shelling houses in the Israeli neighborhood while it was filled with Israeli civilians. Certainly doesn’t sound like they were trying to avoid civilian casualties.

63 journalists and media workers killed by IDF in Gaza conflict. The survivors reported they were following protocol and were clearly identifiable as press:

https://cpj.org/2023/12/journalist-casualties-in-the-israel-gaza-conflict/amp/

And with all of Gazas infrastructure being leveled to the ground, all Gazan civilians not allowed to exit the danger zone, all food/water/electricity prohibited from entering Gaza (by the Israeli government), all Gazan hospitals shut down (by the Israeli government), it is no surprise that there is 60-70% civilian casualties in Gaza. How do you explain 17,000+ deaths? By the way, 17k is possibly only half of the actual deaths because they have not even accounted for people buried under the rubble of collapsed buildings. And the Ministry of Health is no longer able to even count deaths because their entire operational infrastructure has been destroyed.

Mark my word, you guys supporting the war crimes in Israel are going to be so ashamed of yourselves in the future after the dust settles and the world realizes what really went down. You’re all gonna be denying that you supported Israel’s atrocities.

It’s already clear that the Israel has strategically lost. 82% of the nations of the world are against what Israel is doing and are demanding a ceasefire. Much of the European Union has not voted against them, but they have at least decided to  abstain from voting. 

Ukraine is now even losing the war to Russia because of Israel. US support for Ukraine has declined while we are distracted by Israel’s genocide campaign.

I also notice a very discomforting quiet about how Hamas abuses, rapes, and mutilates women (and men) --

Their bodies tell their stories. They’re not alive to speak for themselves.

NBC News has reviewed evidence that suggests dozens of Israeli women were raped, sexually abused or mutilated during the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks.

 

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/hamas-rape-israeli-women-oct-7-rcna128221

 

In one photo, a burned body appears to project anguish. In another, a woman lies naked from the waist down, her underwear hanging from her leg. In interviews, first responders haltingly describe finding naked female corpses tied to beds and survivors recount witnessing a gang rape at the music festival.

All of this is part of a mounting body of evidence of the gender-based crimes carried out by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7.

Over the last several weeks, NBC News has reviewed five interrogations of captured Hamas fighters, an Arabic-language document that instructed Hamas how to pronounce “Take off your pants” in Hebrew, six images of naked or partially naked deceased female bodies, seven eyewitness accounts of sexual violence including both rape and mutilation, 11 testimonies of first responders, and two accounts from workers in morgues who handled the bodies of women after they were recovered from the massacre.

Human rights investigators say that they believe that sexual violence and gender-based violence was carried out by Hamas, including mutilation. But they are not yet certain about the scale and there is not a large amount of evidence that is available to human rights organizations.

The most voluminous evidence is of bodily mutilation of sexual organs by bullet, knife or even scissors, according to an NBC News analysis of the evidence currently available. “They had a thing with sexual organs, both in women and men,” a first responder told police in videotaped testimony. 

Israeli officials pointed to a Hamas pamphlet discovered on Nov. 2 that gives detailed instructions about how to pronounce phrases in Hebrew including “raise your hands and open your legs” and “take off your pants.”

During interrogations, captured Hamas militants talked about raping women and children as a Hamas tactic of war. “To have our way with them, to dirty them, to rape them,” said one Hamas militant during a videotaped interrogation. 

The monsters that committed these atrocities will get what's coming to them.

It could be that Hamas has done some sexual crimes against Israelis. That still needs to be confirmed. But Don’t forget that about the atrocities that Israel has systematically been committing against Palestinian children for years. 
 

“Save the Children” is an international human rights organization with 25,000 dedicated staff across 116 countries campaigning to provide justice to children across the world.

Lets see what Save the Children has been saying about the condition of Palestinian children being taken as hostages by the Israeli military long before the October attacks happened:

https://www.savethechildren.net/news/stripped-beaten-and-blindfolded-new-research-reveals-ongoing-violence-and-abuse-palestinian
 

-During arrest, 42% of children were injured, including gunshot wounds and broken bones, and 65% of children were arrested during the night, mostly between midnight and dawn. Half of all arrests took place in the children’s home.

-The majority of children experienced appalling levels of physical and emotional abuse, including being beaten (86%), being threatened with harm (70%), and hit with sticks or guns (60%). 

-Some children reported violence and abuse of a sexual nature, including being hit or touched on the genitals and 69% reported being strip searched.

Sad that so many innocent lives are lost because of Hamas, but that's the price you pay when your country is literally run by the devil. Also, as usual @phart010 left out the part where the UN resolution demands the "immediate and unconditional release" of all remaining hostages. Of course that's not going to happen, Hamas is shite that needs to be wiped off this world, and Israel will do it. Hopefully after most of Hamas is reduced to ash, there will be at least some semblance of peace in Israel and Gaza.

How can you be so sure that the UN resolution is only talking about Israeli hostages? Israel is holding orders of magnitude more of the Palestinian people as hostages than Hamas. That is why 82% of the countries in the world are condemning them.

The United Nations General Assembly just voted on a resolution demanding immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

Unfortunately the USA and Israel, along with Austria, Czechia, Guatemala, Liberia, Micronesi, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, and Paraguay were not in support of the protection of civilians and upholding legal humanitarian obligations. Therefore, the bombing and killing of innocent civilians in Gaza will continue even though 82% of the nations in this world support a ceasefire.

I did keep all mine. But I am now re-using them to ship out stuff that I’ve been selling 

A man in a yellow jumpsuit. The jumpsuit sleeves and pants have blue accents. He is wearing a blue helmet with yellow accents. He is holding a futuristic looking gun. The ground is purple and the sky is vibrant blue. There is a purple colored futuristic looking castle in the distant background. On the horizon is a city skyline in which there are massive explosions. The foreground has palm trees.

I have been playing around with Dalle 2.

if you don’t know, Dalle is an AI software developed by Open AI that can generate original artwork solely based on a user generated description. For example I can ask it to create a picture of “a princess wearing a blue dress and a tiara with glass slippers in a castle, drawn in cartoon style” and it will draw like 5 versions of what I asked for. 
 

Another thing you can do is upload a picture. It can draw create additional artwork beyond the borders of your original picture. Or you erase a part of the picture and it will fill in the blanks.

Here is an example of the “Nintendo Game Packs” trading cards artwork. I erased parts of it and had it full in the blanks:

It’s not great, but sometimes it does good work. I am going to mess around with some SNES box arts. Will post them here.

If anyone generates something neat, consider sharing it here

Is there a forum where people can go to request AI projects? I know a lot of people are doing AI generated voice clones.

I was wondering if someone could make an English dub of the banned episodes of Pokémon that were only ever released in Japanese

Final level should be hardest. But not outrageously hard. Average people should be able to win. If you want to make an outrageously hard level, unlock it after you have beaten the game
