The Legend of Beavis (Legend of Zelda cartoon with audio from Beavis and Butthead) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDPRwLlpdTU Beavis in the mirror — ha! Yes, I've previously thought about he importance of what he calls "accelerators". https://beyondfomalhaut.blogspot.com/2020/05/blog-anatomy-of-dungeon-map.html > There is one more interesting feature concerning this map, which may not be noticeable first, but which has a strong bearing on its flow. This is the presence of long corridors linking distant corners of the dungeon, and once you look for them, you will find a bunch. We might call them accelerators (or fast lanes?), since clearing them allows fast travel through the dungeon. The clearest accelerators are found in the distant reaches of the level, including one which just “caps” the whole thing with a sequence connecting everything to everything. Once you get there, you can choose a way back just as freely as you could at the beginning, a dark “mirror image” of the dungeon’s multiple entrances! Others include the corridors bisecting the octagons, and the corridor to the right, going from the entrance areas all the way to the cavern. As the company finds the accelerators, they will prove very valuable in subsequent expeditions, getting them past the entrance areas and into the depths of it! Feeling sort of emotionally fragile this evening for no particular reason. Chatted with Jay and Ed on Signal for a while. Watched episodes of Kimi Ni Todoke, kind of a sweet romance anime.
