    If the hedgehog has the seven chaos emeralds, it can still take on the boar even with the triforce of power.

    If not, then it’s more of a toss up, but we should note that there is one registered instance of the hedgehog collecting triforce pieces so my bet would still be on the hedgehog.



  • Chaos.

    I love what it represents, how it can be good or evil depending on your point of view (there’s a reason why DnD used it as an axis perpendicular to Good-Evil), and it sounds really cool. It is also the first word I’d use to describe my life at any point in time. Maybe life itself!

    It sounds good in all languages I know but has the distinction of sounding even better in English, despite coming from the Greek Kaos it somehow sounds cooler in English (a distinction shared by few, if any, other words coming from Greek to English). It is also written in an amazing manner, with a “H” that came out of nowhere and has no reason to be there other than just cause… Chaos. I love it.













  • In my first year of university, we had a fun project to make us get used to physics. One of the projects required filming someone throwing a ball upwards, and then using the footage to get the maximum height the ball reached, and doing some simple calculations to get the initial velocity of the ball (if I recall correctly).

    One of the groups that chose that project was having a discussion on a problem they were facing: the ball was clearly moving upwards on one frame, but on the very next frame it was already moving downwards. You couldn’t get the exact apex from any specific frame.

    So one of the guys, bless his heart, gave a suggestion: “what if we played the (already filmed) video in slow motion… And then we filmed the video… And we put that one in slow motion as well? Maybe do that a couple of times?”

    A friend of mine was in that group and he still makes fun of that moment, to this day, over 10 years later. We were studying applied physics.
