Tears of the Kingdom causes NSFW Zelda search spike, even if it is a bit weird
Because people just can’t seem to help themselves, searches for NSFW Zelda content have skyrocketed after the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
I know two things to be true in life: water is wet, and people love to go on to the internet and make NSFW content about generally SFW things. In this particular case, you probably might be grossed out to hear, searches for NSFW Zelda content have absolutely skyrocketed (pun not intended) following the recent release of Tears of the Kingdom over on Pornhub.
It unfortunately comes with the territory when it comes to a game like this, but it’s definitely a bit weird considering we don’t quite know how old Zelda herself is in the sequel. She turns 17 in the first game (no, it doesn’t count that she’s technically 117), and we don’t know how much time has passed between the two games. Link is around the same age as Zelda in the first game, as covered by Polygon, so I would advise taking this into consideration before searching for yourself.
Berry-Picker’s MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE After Reporting ‘WEIRD CREATURE’
A man was hired to pick berries in Salla, Lapland, Finland. He later called his employer to report an unknown weird creature that was following him. There was no further contact or trace of the victim.
“Hey, Lon. I thought you might be interested in this mysterious account. Back in mid-2014, a Thai man working in Salla, Lapland, Finland as a berry picker was waiting for a lift back to his apartment. He called his contact and during this conversation, he stated, “Something weird is following me, it’s like a dog or something.” After this, despite being afraid of the weird creature, he hung up and immediately his cell phone was switched off either because he ran out of battery or he turned it off.
After this, the man disappeared without a trace. Police stated they haven’t found any tracks whatsoever from the area he disappeared from, human or animal-like. Despite this happening, police announced a few weeks later that they were stopping all efforts to find the man except by starting an “official investigation?” The man in charge of the operation first made a statement that this is a total mystery but later stated that it is an animal attack and nothing else, almost wanting everyone to lose their attention to the story and calling back all the search parties from the area. The parties were mainly made up of Finnish military and police personnel and just a few of co-workers were allowed to contribute to the search despite knowing the man and speaking his language.
Later they were all called back to work and for the last few days, it seems to have been strictly a military/police operation. They found a berry bucket and intact clothes identified as belonging to the man at the scene but the police quickly announced that they had been brought there by the man’s co-workers which seems a bit odd. Why didn’t they just hand them over to officials instead of taking them into the deep forest and just leaving them there? They found no trace of the man, no blood, no tracks, nothing. No one has any clue what could have happened to the man.
The particular area has some bears and wolves but bears usually tend to avoid humans instead of following them and wolves hunt in packs. So what was this weird creature he saw and why did he hang up the phone call despite being afraid of this creature? The only specs of this creature are “a large, dog-like dark animal.” There is no information on whether it was bipedal or not.
The Finland national broadcast network YLE (then owned by the Finnish state with a 99.98% share) has removed all stories related to the case from its website. Finnish media have been very quiet about this except for tabloids which are rather strange because our country is so small that even small events make it to national news.
Now this could be just an animal attack but it’s really a strange one if it is. For example, ending the phone call to his Finnish contact person who is from the area and is familiar with the local fauna, and the heavy military presence, removing the information from the news, and ending the search in just a few days. Also, the description of the creature does not make any sense, or the lack of tracks. The only logical options for a large dark creature in that area are a bear and maybe a moose and as I stated before bears don’t attack people often. I personally can’t remember any cases. In all the cases involving bears, the bear stumbled upon someone and then left the scene very quickly.
If there is any more information or possible remains or tracks found, I will let you know.” V
NOTE: In a recent update, the missing man, or any trace of him, has never been found. Here is an interesting site that details the wild berries & mushrooms found in the boreal forests of Finland. Any thoughts? Lon

Park Beyond’s array of simulation systems is more dizzying than its weird rides
For the past while, I’ve been playing a closed beta build of Park Beyond, and let me tell you, I am very bad at it. I can just about (by the skin of my teeth) make a profitable park, but my god, that park will have the worst layout you’ve ever seen in your cursed, vomiting in the bins at a Disneyland life. But look, if the park works, it works, right? The shareholders can’t complain!
Thing is, much like with the internet or your mum’s relationship with the binman, theme park simulators can really change while you’re not paying attention. While part of Park Beyond’s selling point is making literally impossible rides via the aptly-named method of Impossification (an upgrade to rides you buy by spending units of amazement gleaned from your slack-jawed guests, in order to strap a canon to a rollercoaster), I really was not prepared for how simulation-y the simulation bits are.
I have a weird name and have been called all sorts of things – it’s not that hard to learn to pronounce it, just ask
A YOUNG woman has revealed the strange name she received and the commentary that goes with it.
She said pronunciation is the usual issue with her unusual name and shared how easy it is to just ask.
Amorey Ramsey (@amoreyrams) shared the struggle in a video posted to TikTok.
“So my name is Amorey,” she revealed. “But what I hear most frequently is Amory, A Mori, and Armory.”
Amorey shared more of her thoughts as to why her name may be difficult for people to pronounce.
“Like I get it. I think people with weird names are used to being called all sorts of interesting things, but Armory?” she said.
She shared even more mistakes people make when trying to say her name.
“I also get a lot of Emery, which is fine.
“But here’s the deal, if you have a friend who has a weird name, just learn how to say their name correctly.
“Like, I didn’t know how to pronounce your name, either, until I did, Steven. Like figure it out, it’s not that hard,” she said.
She shared how she deals with the situation when people can’t seem to get her name right.
“I’ll pretty much just answer to anything that sounds like it starts with an A and ends with a Y.
“Just don’t call me Armory, please,” she said.
“If someone doesn’t learn how to say your name correctly it’s because they don’t want to,” she added in the caption.
The video drew in many viewers who shared their thoughts in the comment section.
“I feel this,” a TikTok user named Rhea wrote.
