Who says that about the Galaxies?. It's a glorified level pack to the point I know plenty of people who prefer 1 for the framing and hub stuff that 2 streamlined away.

Not to mention that Galaxy 2 sold maybe half of what Galaxy 1 did. And Nintendo managed to annoy people across Europe, Japan and Australia by shipping it with an instructional DVD as though they were being called too stupid to figure out how to play it on their own.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

gently caress, I'm trying to finish up BoTW before going into the sequel, and I keep putting myself into stupid situations.

Just now I've fought my way to the center of some sort of spiral peninsula to see what all those enemies were guarding, and what do I see just after I kill the last of the fuckers?

A blood, red moon slowly rising just behind Link's shoulders. :shepface:

Alright. So anyone run into this issue? Been playing, zero issues, switch has been docked, but started up the switch and the screen looks like this. Not the TV. The actual switch screen looks fine. Only happens when docked. I’ve swapped out HDMI cables and ports on the TV. Has old age finally caught up to my switch or my dock?

i'd place money on the dock if you've tried swapping ports and cables, mostly because it's the cheaper than trying to replace the switch or this is just the universe telling you to upgrade to an OLED

I've had a screen where only green is displayed after turning on my switch once, and restarting it fixed the problem, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also had the same issue on my Mac Mini once, and my Xbox 360 once or twice. I've always attributed it to a glitch with hdmi or a gpu error, as restarting always fixed it.

Props to the hardcore climbing challenge. I'm map-off and limited teleport and I'm trying to restrain my climbing habits from last game (which were like you described, but now there's cool ground stuff I don't wanna miss).

I did climb one of the very tall trees (taller than the ones that have flat leaves) in the dark and managed to glide to a midway tall-thing also in the dark because of the way it blocked distant light. But I finished up my quest and decided to teleport out because I want it to be nighttime in real life before I go back down there. For better vibes.

I also just discovered TotK's version of Cryonis because some Bokoblins were tryin' to do it to me. It made me glad.

Climbing is also usually the worst way up and over something. You just have so many better tools for verticality.

Yeah, this is something i've had to retrain myself about, you have like 20 different ways to go vertical and climbing is usually the most time consuming and dangerous way to do it.

I climbed up the side of one mountain to get to a tower and was trying to avoid ice the entire way because i didn't have the gear for it and as soon as I got to the top I was like why didn't i ride that falling brick I saw like 10 minutes ago up to the sky and then glide down?

You say this, yet I was routinely hitting the ceiling in the depths thanks to them tall, thorny trees.

If you're having fun then who cares, but climbing is also my last resort for reaching depth ceiling.

Laziest one is I copied a hot air balloon with one of those rebuilt candles from a shrine and it always reaches curling eventually lol, just slower than a fire breathing hot air balloon.

I've smacked my head on the ceiling a few times from spring stacks, thinking it was higher than it was lol.

In any case I broke up with climbing mostly when early on I spent a bunch of my food to keep scaling this dark wall I thought was just about to end and I'd get to the top and there'd be rainbows and candy land(also the depths textures didn't load yet so it was incisible floors and walls). But actually it was one of many walls that go from floor to ceiling and I was never gonna reach the stuff I thought I was climbing towards.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
Cleared out the pirates in the coastal village last night and burned through all my drat bows in the process. I'm thinking of heading back into Hyrule castle to grab some replacements because it's fairly quick to kill a couple of black lizards with the 36atk bows. Plus it means more high end parts for making strong melee weapons.

Royal bows are nice but goddamn the game is not kidding around when it says an item has low durability. Also picked up the Hylian shield yesterday and yeah I'm going to guess this thing is just straight up indestructible and that there's no reason to use anything else for defense so Imy other shield slots are just zonai shields for more efficient flamethrowers and whatnot. The cart I stuck to the Hylian shield seems to last forever too?

If it's like BotW it has the best durability of any shield by far, like 40 times an endgame's shield but it will eventually break. Just like, in the far far future.

Same-ish but I haven't entered a dungeon. I've gotten a few main plot hooks and nope'd away. I wanna finish a Overworld World Tour first, then I'll decide how I go about things... which, if I have enough hearts and can upgrade my armor once or twice, might mean unlocking the Depths map fully, before doing anything else. Finally got the chance to cash in some of the Shrine gifts and I think I'm 8 more Light orbs away from having max stamina. Still at 4 hearts though.

Don't want to buy Flame Resistant armor for 700 rupees which is nearly all my cash. Is there a way to get it cheaper? Yes or no will do. Hoping it won't be the same for other regional armors.

It's crazy how fun climbing is. I don't actually climb, though I've been tempted to try, but I imagine it's the same thrill of moving methodically, even strategically up a cliff. Like if I go here will I be able to make it to the next ledge? All coupled with the same environment of a video game. There's something very pleasing about it.

Hopefully ok to ask this here, but I couldn't find a general "Nintendo" thread anywhere. What is going on with the Nintendo system economy and is everything really expensive or are those just people trying to trick unsuspecting buyers? Someone in our area posted a trade for old game systems (not just nintendo) for their OLED Zelda Switch. I keep all my old systems so I figured I'd check it out. I have the Windwaker Wii U, and the MH4/Smash Brothers 3dsxl/new3dsxl, so I went online trying to see what I should offer, except people are listing them for $$450-$500 for used/"refurbished" models of these. There's no way these are actual prices, and not potential scammers? I'm not looking to sell mine/make money or anything, I just want to make sure I don't get ripped off either, but I can't figure out how to price anymore...

Funny that there's a note you find that essentially says that they tried the same thing you did and found out the same thing, saying it wasn't worth it to try.

I do. It’s nearly all my cash. I’ve got 900+. Also I only just finished the central areas and the north. I need to do the west and finish in the east via the south.

I probably could’ve sold some stuff to buy it but I.m hoarding till I know what I need for armor upgrades.
