Scion238 @scion238.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Probably The Legend of Zelda on NES. I was this close (🤏) to making a Zelda fansite instead of Strider, but the Internet basically had ZHQ.com's closing covered. Whereas there only ever were about four English-language Strider sites active at any one time. 030

Scion238 @scion238.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Yeah, you're right. That's exclusive to gaming fandom & reviewers.
