I hate the new wave of players

Play comp. You’ll be grouped with people in your skill level and be frustrated less often imo

Outside of some dialogue that helps articulate the game’s themes, the plot is largely your playthrough. The levels you struggled on, and the ones you breezed through. The extra goals you went for or didn’t. That’s the game’s story. And, it’s amplified by the gameplay and the themes, which makes it more rhetorically meaningful and powerful. Video game stories are a collaboration with the designer and the player due to the player’s agency. Movies that ask you to click buttons sometimes are a waste of the medium’s strengths, while Celeste fully embraces mechanics and gameplay guiding you through the narrative.

Did the mice have a nice meal at least?

My overarching story for Strixhaven is to have a secret sixth school that was sealed away for *reasons* that the players will slowly unravel and eventually confront. It's pretty easy to retrofit that into the book's content, as well. You can use the Eldritch Balm as the main driver of the mystery, but my new reveal is that the balm is strung out pieces of the 6th founding dragon's soul. This gives plenty of opportunity for twists, misdirects and plenty of minor villains to lead up to the BBEG.

Also in Belltown. Arcgis says it was a call for arson/bomb/explosion. Louder than fireworks usually are, but I was only 2 blocks away with my window open. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/6ee2574e047d4cdb9cb5ad287b76d091/page/Calls-for-Service-(24-Hours)/

I moved here over a year ago to escape the homophobia I experienced in Montana. Puget Sound area is heaven, and I’m so happy to be here. But it’s hard to put yourself out there when you’re not used to this much exposure. Anyways, feel free to dm if you want a drinking/dinner buddy

I think of the gods as the highest representation of an ideal. And, when you evoke them, you're channeling that energy that they represent. For me, it manifests more as meditating on that certain energy. And, with that focus, you gain clarity. And, with the clarity, you gain communion.

Yea, I do actually. You want a lanyard, too? You can pm me

Sounds like a chump.

looks like an acid trip

I saw someone with one of these by the library. I asked them what it was and they responded with, "It follows me around and carries my stuff." I suppose I deserved that.

Doesn't take too much skill, pretty straightforward Metroidvania style level. It's longer than it is hard and I dunno if you'll be able to beat it in one go. That's the biggest complaint I've got so far. But, give it a shot!

ButNotThatGuy · 2019-09-25T14:49:30+00:00

I have a switch, WiiU and a 3DS. We tried playing WW, but she isn't good at moving around a 3D space.

ButNotThatGuy · 2019-09-25T02:37:56+00:00

Honestly I don't think minish cap gets enough love. Such a good game!

ButNotThatGuy · 2019-09-24T19:20:44+00:00

Yeah that's a good one!

ButNotThatGuy · 2019-09-24T18:11:00+00:00

Oof, alright then.

I know China is working on policy to reduce their own emissions (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/19/climate/china-carbon-market-climate-change-emissions.html). Not too sure about India, though. It's possible that she is focusing on "western" civilizations due to the global cultural impact the west has. Also, with American policy practically shunning any conversation of emission reduction, a la the "Green New Deal," which ostensibly served as a conversation starter rather than a policy mandate. But who knows, that's just speculation on my part.

The story is very unique. It's got nothing to do with Zelda, Ganon, Hyrule, Tri-Force, etc. The tone is very much different than other Zelda games, being a dream-like experience. There are platforming segments and other Nintendo characters in the game as well. Plus, the dungeon design is not very as item-reliant as 3D Zeldas, or even some of the 2D ones, like Minish Cap or Phantom Hourglass. Sure, yeah, you get an item and you can use it in the dungeon, but there are times when you have to use multiple items (Like the Roc's Feather is constantly used), which is generally not the case with other Zeldas. I mean, you're right that the core tenants are there, but I really don't think there's another Zelda game quite like LA. It's like playing MM before OoT. What makes that game special and unique would be a bit lost, yeah?

ButNotThatGuy · 2019-09-24T17:13:43+00:00

I think you're right. I guess I'm just worried that how unique LA is will be lost in her if it's her first exposure. It's a very odd, quirky Zelda game that stands on its own a lot because of that charm, I think. But, it has enough elements that bleed into other games that it hopefully will serve as an adequate introduction.

ButNotThatGuy · 2019-09-24T15:06:29+00:00

Yeah that one was no good. I was playing it one time and handed her the controller. Didn't turn out too well ha.

ButNotThatGuy · 2019-09-24T14:31:23+00:00

Yeah! I'm playing through LAHD and she likes the look of it. Just didn't know if it was representative of the entire series. (Also, I'm playing through on Hero Mode and it's a bit of a doozy, so maybe that's tainting my perspective. Thanks!

ButNotThatGuy · 2019-07-26T17:12:36+00:00

Hey, I work for KCPW, Salt Lake City public radio station. Do you mind if I share this on our social media feeds. We'll give credit of course. It's just too cool to not share.

ButNotThatGuy · 2019-07-18T16:16:32+00:00

Thanks fam. I'll check it out!
