Japanese hornets kept murdering the poo poo out of honey bees, so the honey bees learned to hug the hornets to death. It's incredible:

Those gold torches only light when you trigger "something" in the room, like standing on a switch or lighting a wooden torch. In this case they light when the two top torches are lit (at 14:45 in the video).

Ok, so japanese wasps are a bunch of assholes. First, they are huge. As in, five times bigger than a regular bee huge. They fly into a hive and just kill EVERY bee. As in, snap them in half and leave them to die. Thirty wasps can kill off a hive thirty THOUSAND strong in three hours. They then eat all the honey and leave their larvae to feast on the bee's larvae and pupae. Then they leave.

Now, european bees, they're hosed. They don't have any mechanism to defend themselved against the wasps, so they die off. JAPANESE wasps know the fuckers from way back, so they can fight back. So here's the deal. The wasps find a hive by using scouts, single wasps that roam the countryside and mark potential hives with pheromones. The bees wait until the wasp entered the nest, and loving pile on it, in the most epic of moshpits, and dance the night away. Meaning, they start vibrating and generating heat. Lot''s of heat. See, the bees can widthstand temperatures of up to 118°F, but the wasps just up to 115°F. So the bees bring themselves to the brink of boiling, just to boil the invading wasp.

It's an unfortunate casualty of Fae's recording setup, there's some pretty awful gradual desync by the end of the session. I have no idea why, but I also don't do the actual hard editing so :shrug:

Have you tried Handbrake? Haven't used it myself but I know a few people have said that it can fix gradual audio desync.

Stealth sections are one of my big gripes with Zelda games, even when you have the tools to Batman your way through by safely knocking everyone out. I don't even bother with this before getting the stone mask any more.

The Stone Mask is fantastic. It's also probably Majora's Mask's worst case of "pointlessly obtuse poo poo to try to make you buy a player's guide." You aren't possibly going to find that soldier naturally unless you wear the Lens of Truth 24/7.

Or unless you're a competionist by nature determined to check out every suspicious rock circle. Tatl is even helpfully confirming that suspicion as soon as you get near.

On the other hand I don't even remember how the hell I found him in MM3D.

I'm pretty sure when you get near the tower in the fortress Tatl goes "Hey, do you hear something?". They made the soldier's existence a lot more obvious in MM3D.

Sure, but then you wouldn't get to ride on the back of a giant turtle. :colbert:

Plus, it's probably a reference to something from mythology. I'm only sad there aren't four elephants standing on its back.

Goddammit now I want a Discworld RPG Video Game. You could pick a starting class of Witch, Wizard or Watchman which would decide where you started, (AnkMorpork City Watch for the Watchmen, Unseen University for the Wizards and Lancre for the Witches) learning different ways to interact - Witches and Watchmen would use Headology and Politics to talk their way out of bad situations, Witches could do chemistry do get around sidequests (home remedies and the like) Wizards would get weak but situationally useful spells to confuse agressors and calm beasts, and Watchmen would be able to punch their way out of a situation easily. Of Course, Quest Givers would include Tiffany Aching, Maybe Granny Weatherwax depending on when the game is set, Nanny Ogg, Ridcully, Hex, and St Vimes.

I felt like playing all the different instruments was very reminiscent of playing the Eight Instruments in front of the Wind Fish's Egg in Link's Awakening. I didn't expect the Ballad of the Wind Fish to be dropped as a reference. Even if the Circus Leader's Mask doesn't do anything, it looks cool to just have a mask that cries.

You raise a good point, I guess I just forgot that fact because the only time I've experienced Link's Awakening was in a six hour marathon stream poorlywrittennovel did for new years eve 2016 and by the time we got to that particular segment it was roughly 4am and I was delirious from sleep deprivation :v:
