  • That’s pretty lore accurate, though, right?

    Most Links are portrayed as being either kids/teenagers or very young-looking adults, and Zelda is often portrayed as being a more experienced character, still young but often already embroiled in the politics or conflicts that are core to the story’s initial setup. Link usually shows character growth as he rises to the challenge, but Zelda is often a more static character, who starts the story fully fledged.

    I’ve never heard of either actor, but a cursory Google to look at their various photos and I can see them working in the roles. Obviously assuming they can act, too.

  • I looked at Dino and another one mentioned here and they look dated. Windows 95 feel with better anti-aliasing, rounder corners, but same colors? Gtk 2 or something?

    Looks like a standard GTK4 app to me. Whether or not that is to someone’s tastes is obviously subjective, but it uses the same design language as every other GTK app under the sun.

    GTK apps always look out of place on Windows though. Looks far more sensible in its native environment (i.e. *nix running GNOME).

  • “Rock star developer” was originally coined to mean literally the anti-pattern of what you want from a Dev team.

    It’s someone who undeniably has plenty of skill, but who also:

    • Has an unbearable ego.
    • Doesn’t work well with others.
    • Doesn’t document or comment their work properly.
    • Refuses to work to other people’s designs.
    • Becomes an enormous key man dependency.

    (Or some combination of similar traits).

    The fact that recruiters heard the term and thought “hey, rock stars are cool, let’s get as many of those as possible” is hilariously tragic.
