Just ended up scheduling a carryout from Dominos for $8.65 out the door. Large one topping, pretty unbeatable in this economy.

That is pretty good, I still find it funny when i do carryout and the thing wants me to do a tip. The pizza place doesn't even have a dine in option, who am i tipping @.@

I also find it funny how the default tip values have changed like used to see 15%, 10%, 5% but now i see 25%, 20%, 15%. would be nice if that just had a round up and add dollars button so i can stop doing the math to figure out my tip. I greatly prefer a charge having 0 cents.

Yeah Dominos isn't getting a tip. What I hate is the tip and service fee requirement, then you are expected to tip your delivery driver too. I priced out the plainest burger from Fudruckers and before the uber tip, it came to $40. Literally go *** yourselves.

I delivered pizzas as a kid, it wasn't bad money back then for just requiring a car. I hate the delivery fee now because I know the driver sees absolutely none of it, and they need those tips. At least here though Dominos still uses their own employees to deliver, the other guys use Doordash and are significantly slower.

I'm housebound so I get groceries delivered too. Pizza is about the only thing I'll buy cooked for me, other restaurants are about the same price per delivery but less food.

I was expecting them to cast nobodies that cost nothing. Don't know what the big deal is other than the fact they are making a live action Zelda in the first place.

Don't know either of them, but they seem appropriate. What's the issue? They aren't diverse enough?

A certain community wanted a specific person because of one specific, very digitally altered, photo.

But Nintendo knows better.



As far as nobodies that cost nothing:
I have never heard the names Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth prior to today. Atleast I have no idea who they are and couldn't name anything they've been in. So I doubt these are bank breaking castings.

Maybe a few hundred thousand with incentives based on box office success. Dirt cheap.

Bo Bragason (born 2004) is an English actress. On television, she is known for her roles in the BBC One series Three Girls (2017) and The Jetty (2024), and the Disney+ series Renegade Nell (2024). She has appeared in the films Hidden Love (2007), Censor (2021), and The Radleys (2024). She will also star as Princess Zelda in an upcoming film adaptation of The Legend of Zelda.

Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (born 25 September 2008[2]) is an English actor. He is known for portraying Miles in the Netflix series The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020), William in Disney’s Flora & Ulysses (2021), the voice of Pinocchio in Disney's live-action remake and Mark Critch in the CBC series Son of a Critch. He will portray Link in an upcoming film adaptation of The Legend of Zelda.


These are definitely low budget castings hoping to break out. But to be fair, they have to be young actor or actress to play Link and Zelda.

I started making pizza myself last year. I really like it, I can get the crust just the way I like it and it is a pretty simple thing to put together.

mix dough set it on the oven while the stone preheats for 30mins, then roll it out, add sauce toppings and cheese throw it in the oven at 500F for 15mins and bam pizza. takes like an hour total, which is par for most of the dinners I make.

A bit old for the part but she would otherwise be appropriate.

Zelda Williams is the only acceptable answer.

Hunter would've been great but Nintendo isn't about to start a bigot shitstorm. (... even though Zelda becomes Shiek who is referred to as male...)

Bo is fine.

Schaeffer would have sucked. People really let one photo of one angle compared to one version of Zelda really go to their heads (and the photo of TP Zelda was purposely small, so that only the eyes and upper head would face "at a glance" comparisons).

There's been so many more varieties of Zelda than just OoT or Twilight Princess Zeldas.

Like in Wind Waker when she hides her identity by becoming the Pirate Captain Tetra.

And you really rather wanna back away from the Sheik card. Zelda took on the mantle of Sheik in OoT to hide her identity, by pretending to be someone else. That's not exactly an ironclad excuse to cast a trans person, and it certainly shouldn't make it desirable.

"Hey look everybody, this character pretends to be the opposite sex! Call all the Trans folks and get'em to audition!"

It's like a living, breathing satire.

I like when Vyre says what I want to say because he wont get bitched at for it and called a conspiracy theorist.


Also Zelda Williams is 35. I've seen from a few sources that Nintendo was specifically looking for late teens to early 20's for those roles.

Got nothing to do with look. She wants to play the character and is good in the roles she's had.

Anyone can look like Zelda with makeup and a wig

Whoever reads the casting the best gets the wig. Zelda will be in the movie for a grand total of 4 minutes anyway. They'll open with her being captured and end with her free.

Just happy it won't be Sydney or Margot or some other basic bimbo

Watched the two episode premiere of Strange New Worlds S3 (out today). First ep was great, picked up where the finale of s2 left off. I'm glad I didn't have to wait 2 years for that. Second episode was fun, looks like its going to be another solid season.

lmao cmon dawg
The entire argument for her being Zelda was EVERYTHING to do with look. Thats the very reason they keep using that one singular digitally altered photo to justify why Hunter was "born to play Zelda", and anyone remotely familiar with this discourse knows exactly which photo it is.

Steam forced to pull certain games off their store because Visa and MasterCard refuse to do business due to the content of certain games with adult themes. They've also bullied the Nintendo store plenty of anime sites for these very reasons.

Yet somehow they dont give a ***about OnlyFans.

Vyre, you sound like a conspiracy theorist, I stg. You think Schaefer in your Hyrule is going to turn the freaking octoroks gay?
