Over on the BBC, Jonathan Amos wrote about new discoveries from Pompeii.

In a familiar contradiction, they refuse to treat your grand goals with the seriousness they deserve, yet these patronising adults reward their adopted nephew for relatively trivial tasks with a fistful of rupees and dreadful jokes. Yet wherever he goes, he’s greeted with overfamiliar, teasing humour like an enthusiastically fond aunt or uncle. Zelda’s guardian knight saved Hyrule once already he should command respect and authority across the realm. You’re constantly reminded of your childlike status by the gentle indignity of how Hyrule regards its fabled hero. A piece about Link being a fun little guy, just a small dude whose hair you want to ruffle. I honored him with recreating his hat in Team Fortress 2.įor Unwinnable, Francisco Dominguez wrote about Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's link to its childish past. I do remember every time he came over he would ask for black coffee and wore a black newsboy cap. They say it was a heart attack, but that side of the family always debates whether that was true or not. Being that I was young when he passed I don’t remember much, just that one day he was gone. I had an Uncle who is literally the reason why I’m into technology. The first time I ever experienced loss was at a pretty young age. A touching piece about loss, and how TF2's workshop is a wonderful place to honor those important to you. John wrote about memorialising friends and family in Team Fortress 2 over on Pixels For Breakfast. A content creator with long, straight hair sits at her kitchen table, rapidly stringing together nonsense catchphrases, over and over with the same cheerful expression and tone. If you haven’t seen them yet, the videos are mesmerizing. Also, where are the real NPCs? The ones who say, 'Saw a mudcrab the other day, horrible creatures'.

'Erotic undertone' is quite the understatement here. Over on The Guardian, Wilfred Chan wrote about the TikTokers pretending to be NPCs. Before you watch the fizz, let's read this week's best writing about games (and game related things).
