Yes, thanks Wayne, I feel better now.

In this thread, the ever-excellent 0xCygaar breaks down the transfer of ERC-20 tokens and ETH through Etherscan, in a very informative thread with step-by-step explanations.
Etherscan can be a bit overwhelming at first. For that specific reason, more tools are being developed to make it “easier" to understand on-chain things. ArhkamIntel and most specifically OnceUpon.GG.
If you need access to either, let me know, I still have invites.

Game Informer sat down with series producer Eiji Aonuma and director Hidemaro Fujibayashi to discuss Tears of Kingdom, and how you manage to top the masterpiece that was Breath of the Wild.
I am currently playing the game, at a very slow pace (When BOTW came out, I played 10h per day for 10 days straight…).
TLDR:
The current state of the Zelda franchise.
The creative process behind "Tears of the Kingdom" and how the team aimed to create emotional depth in the game's storytelling.
The interview also touches on the future of the Zelda series, hinting at new gameplay mechanics, potentially expanding the boundaries of the traditional Zelda formula, but also incorporating new technologies in the future.
BOTW is easily in my top 5 games of all time, I am not as hooked to TOTK as I was with the 2017 release, there are many reasons for that - but they are on my end rather than the game itself.
The only issue, for a lack of better word, I have with the game was that the onboarding can be perceived as overwhelming due to all the new powers and things to do. I’m saying this, while at the same time, I’m easily considering the opening sequence as a masterstroke in onboarding, and storytelling.
Anyway, back to playing the whole week-end (almost).

As I’m currently playing Tears of Kingdom, it’s a good time to share this wonderful Orchestral re-imagining of Zelda - Ocarina of Time legendary OST.
I bought the physical edition of this back when it was released some time ago, and listen to it regularly on Spotify as it allows me to travel, in my head.
