I'm back in the thread, after ducking out for a while to avoid spoilers, I've had a couple days with the game and I'm loving it as much as I'd hoped so far  Albatrossy_Rodent posted:Just got to the first dungeon. Leadup is basically a Mario level. I got there just before I quit last night, it really was quite a trip to get there. I'm psyched to go in, I managed to avoid knowing anything about what they're doing with dungeons this time around so I'm excited to find out.

Damnit, didn't take a screenshot of the dialogue options "I have the crabs" and it doesn't word it the same trying to prompt it again

Wildtortilla posted:I don’t understand what’s happening in this pic. Can someone explain the matrix for me? At an abandoned hotel, a police squad corners Trinity, who overpowers them with superhuman abilities. She flees, pursued by the police and a group of suited Agents capable of similar superhuman feats. She answers a ringing public telephone and vanishes. Computer programmer Thomas Anderson, known by his hacking alias "Neo", is puzzled by repeated online encounters with the phrase "the Matrix". Trinity contacts him and tells him a man named Morpheus has the answers Neo seeks. A team of Agents and police, led by Agent Smith, arrives at Neo's workplace in search of him. Though Morpheus attempts to guide Neo to safety, Neo surrenders rather than risk a dangerous escape. The Agents offer to erase Neo's criminal record in exchange for his help with locating Morpheus, who they claim is a terrorist. When Neo refuses to cooperate, they fuse his mouth shut, pin him down, and implant a robotic "bug" in his abdomen. Neo wakes up from what he believes to be a nightmare. Soon after, Neo is taken by Trinity to meet Morpheus, and she removes the bug from Neo. Morpheus offers Neo a choice between two pills: Taking the red pill, which will reveal the truth about the Matrix, or the blue, which will make Neo forget everything and return to his former life. Neo takes the red pill, and his reality begins to distort, awakening in a liquid-filled pod among countless other pods, containing other humans. He is then brought aboard Morpheus's flying ship, the Nebuchadnezzar. As Neo recuperates from a lifetime of physical inactivity in the pod, Morpheus explains the situation: In the early 21st century, a war broke out between humanity and intelligent machines. After humans blocked the machines' access to solar energy, the machines responded by enslaving humankind and harvesting their bioelectric power while keeping their minds pacified in the Matrix, a shared simulated reality modeled on the world as it was in 1999. In the years following, the remaining free humans took refuge in the underground city of Zion. Morpheus and his crew are a group of rebels who hack into the Matrix to "unplug" enslaved humans and recruit them; their understanding of the Matrix's simulated nature allows them to bend its physical laws. Morpheus warns Neo that death within the Matrix kills the physical body too and explains that the Agents are sentient programs that eliminate threats to the system, while machines called Sentinels eliminate rebels in the real world. Neo's prowess during virtual training cements Morpheus's belief that Neo is "the One", a human prophesied to free humankind. The group enters the Matrix to visit the Oracle, a prophet-like program who predicted that the One would emerge. She implies to Neo that he is not the One and warns that he will have to choose between Morpheus's life and his own. Before they can leave the Matrix, Agents and police ambush the group, tipped off by Cypher, a disgruntled crew member who has betrayed Morpheus in exchange for a deal to be plugged back into the Matrix to live a comfortable life. To buy time for the others, Morpheus fights Smith and is captured. Cypher exits the Matrix and murders the other crew members as they lie unconscious. Before Cypher can kill Neo and Trinity, crew member Tank regains consciousness and kills him before pulling Neo and Trinity from the Matrix. The Agents interrogate Morpheus to learn his access codes to the mainframe computer in Zion, which would allow them to destroy it. Neo resolves to return to the Matrix to rescue Morpheus, as the Oracle prophesied; Trinity insists she accompany him. While rescuing Morpheus, Neo gains confidence in his abilities, performing feats comparable to those of the Agents. After Morpheus and Trinity safely exit the Matrix, Smith ambushes and kills Neo. While a group of Sentinels attack the Nebuchadnezzar, Trinity confesses her love for Neo and says the Oracle told her she would fall in love with the One. Neo is revived, with newfound abilities to perceive and control the Matrix; he easily defeats Smith, prompting the other Agents to flee and he leaves the Matrix just as the ship's electromagnetic pulse disables the Sentinels. Back in the Matrix, Neo makes a telephone call, promising the machines that he will show their prisoners "a world where anything is possible." He hangs up and flies away.

Anyone know if you need to talk to a specific person to have Hetsu show up? Went to where he should be at first, but the fella ain't anywhere to be seen. Did beat the Fire Temple before trying to find him, so maybe that changed his location...

I feel like I've been gaining Korok seeds faster than in BotW thanks to the transportation puzzles, but I haven't turned them in anywhere yet. I actually like those puzzles a lot, too, unlike all the returning ones.

Got up to the sky temple. It felt like it took a solid hour of platforming. Tulin rules and I immediately liked him as a character. All in all I'm having a blast with ToTK

FrickenMoron posted:Where the gently caress are sunset fireflies, I fast travelled all across the map at night but I can't find any and I've seen them previously but can't remember where. I spent a long time just wandering around the tutorial sky island and managed to get about a dozen of them through various night time cycles. I only just started the main plot of the game so I dunno where else they are, but it's a safe place to look for them.

By the way, for people who talked about the Great Plateau quest: the initial part isn't in the depths, you gotta bomb a wall at the outer wall bottom part. This opens a path inside the plateau and a statue that actually starts the real quest.

Just started playing, game is dope. Kinda wish I didn't play BotW on WiiU so I could get those sick bonuses. Little question though: does the game go into any detail about how long Link was knocked out getting the arm graft in the opening? I figure it was a while since Link's rocking quite the mane but it's hard to pin it down.

Neddy Seagoon posted:All it's probably doing (napkin coding, etc) is retaining a list of prior x/y/z coordinates and rotation (maybe velocity too) for the past 30-odd seconds of activity... It's a simple bit of functionality that'll be running under the hood standardized across every object in the game. Dumb programming thoughts: Could be something like a History Manager that tracks this on any moved interactable object, or any moved object could track itself (but you probably don't need to track history of objects before they move). If it tracked velocity, when you unfroze time thrown objects would continue their trajectory rather than fall straight down. A History Manager could also handle only tracking one history when you're tracking one large fused object, rather than each part tracking its own unique history, so that's probably what I'd do without a compelling reason otherwise.

For Arrows I found a decent free source, in Rito village there's a lady with a sidequest who will trade glowing fish and brightshrooms for 10 arrows each time and it's repeatable. I think it's 5 shrooms or 3 fishes for the arrows and she only asks for what you have.

If it tracked velocity, when you unfroze time thrown objects would continue their trajectory rather than fall straight down. Braid did it with key frames and diffs but that was rewinding everyone at once. A ring buffer of position vector and timestamps would work fine for this. EDIT:

The hardest part is I had to spend forever finding one lizalfos who got flung way into the ocean out of aggro range. Or didn't even know I was ever there, just activating my cannon wheel of doom. The laser does nothing. Full disclosure: died several times bc I didn't change armour and kept blasting myself
