Continuing to watch the Avenue of the Sphinxes livestream, and my brain keeps going 'the McDonalds is over there but they've turned the lights off' or as a visual metaphor:

ALTNo, really, there's a McDonalds where you can sit and watch the sun set over Luxor temple:

Did that used to be Marhaba restaurant? Like, if you're looking from the city, towards Luxor temple, it was on the left side and up a flight of stairs?
I’m not entirely sure. McDonald’s in Luxor is on Maabad al Karnak, near Aboudi’s and Snacktime (if Snacktime still exists), overlooking the square in front of Luxor temple. It looks like this:
I don’t know where Marhaba restaurant would be in relation to this.

Frank, what do we have to fear?
- Nuclear war. The probability of this is a bit high.
- Space colonization.
- An invasion of the Earth by an alien species from beyond the stars. This is still a pretty small chance, but if the aliens have the ability to create copies of the human brain and then send them back in time to the present, then it is a bigger chance.

Why is Ganondorf in your novel?
His daughter killed him when she was a girl, and because she had an extra lifespan in the Zelda universe, he came back to life to make revenge on Link and Zelda.
I thought this said Gandalf
The difference between Ganondorf and Gandalf is that he’s a really awesome guy and Gandalf is boring
Yeah. Ganondorf is really awesome. That’s why he’s my favorite Zelda character.
Oh cool! What do you like about him? It’s not just that he kills Link and Zelda and eats children, right? (I mean, he does that too.) It’s more like he’s an interesting character even if you don’t think about it too much?
