Trying really hard to not be mean/offensive really is the same thing as putting people in camps for criticizing those in power.

Zelda's not the best example of this-- their mainline releases are fantastic as ever.

It is OK for things to change, even if unfortunately your tastes don't change with them.
I lost interest in NG since they dumbed content down and concentrated on political correctness and being on the "right" side of the political spectrum instead of providing interesting, deeply researched and meticulously planned articles and caring more for the scientific truth instead of the political truth.
Do you have specific examples of what you mean by “concentrated on political correctness”? I absolutely agree that they dumbed down their content, but I think that’s more of a misguided push to appeal to a more general audience which just alienates their original core base. I remember seeing stuff like Doomsday Preppers being advertised several years ago which seemed antithetical to the magazines I remember my dad ge…
I'm especially confused given how Fox - not particularly known for its (left-leaning) political correctness - bought National Geographic in 2015, and partnered with Nat Geo back in 1997 to start the National Geographic Channel.

Is this true ? I haven't seen the magazine in a very long time, so I don't have a way to opine. It would be great to back this statement with facts. We have subscription to "National Geographic KIDS" , which our kids devour inside out. I really think its great. It would be sad to lose it. I would recommend the subscription to every parent looking for a non-digital window into learning about the world. Perfect gift fo…
I remember getting a subscription and canceling it immediately after getting my first issue, somewhere around 2015. It was about how Detroit is actually a very cool city and had photos and interviews of cool young people with tattoos. Simply not what I remembered of the magazine as a child. And I have no problem with tattoos, just the strange political agenda that had nothing to do with the environment or animals. I…
Edit: I'm assuming this is the article and I still don't see the agenda here. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/taking-back-detroit/see-d...
Are there any alternatives? In german speaking countries we have GEO magazine, but IMO the quality is also decreasing every year.

This is a bit of a reach. To a very large many, the two most-recent Legend of Zelda games are the two best that have ever been made. Nintendo has not been afraid to change what the game even when it initially upsets people (Windwaker with the 3D cutesy feel) though the subsequent sentiment is almost always incredibly positive in retrospect. BOTW isn't like Majora's Mask anymore than Majora's Mask was like A Link to t…
Idk man, I glanced at /truezelda the other day and it seems like TotK has ruined BOTW for people. I was already disenchanted about 20 hours into BOTW, climbing yet another green hill to see another green hill with the same enemies as the last hill. I did beat the game with 70 or 80 shrines. I dread shrines.
I admittedly played every zelda, despite ragging on them. I am said IP fan.
I just want a 3D Zelda game with interesting biomes, multiple enemy types, fun puzzles, etc...
We got a open world rpg with Zelda skinned on it. It would be nice to get a classic 3D Zelda game and call this one something else.
I have doubts BotW would have gotten great reviews if it was released as an xbox game with different characters.
