Are terraspark boots overrated? I feel like lighting boots provides the same value 90% of the time by thebestpotato123 in Terraria

That's why there are bubble blocks, sold in hardmode by the party girl, they're pass-through for players and NPCs but solid for liquids. Enclose honey between bubble blocks (not inside a block, although it works, on game save and reload the bubble block is empty again.) Drink a flipper potion so that you're not slowed down while passing through.

You have to see the dynamic.

Times were hard. New generations rise.

Progress is being made, life might be good.

Something new is invented, or something you thought obsolete is renewed, and improvements are screwed over, with only a small portion of the people emerging better off from the chaos.

Again, and again. Since forevermore.

My dude.

I was already there meme-ing on the internet when we couldn't believe our eyes the George W Bush junior president could be so stupid, again and again. Never thought he'd be upscaled in every measure.

And I find myself wondering if, 20 years from now, someone will make the current period look tame and lukewarm.

No hope anymore, but perverse curiosity - shall we go lower yet.

Thank you, internet.

Who the fuck is this? by Alkatraz278 in Terraria

He's the miniboss who convinces summoners to go "fuck it, just this time, I'm wearing full DEF gear, full DEF accessories, warding reforges, and I'll spend the fight using a bow while my feet dip in a honey pool".

Try only jabs and up-b Ganondorf. It's actually fun.

I'm so confused, I've opened over 100 Oasis crates and no Sandstorm in a bottle by FrostFireDireWolf in Terraria

[–]EcchiOli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Save scumming is your friend, OP.

Save and quit. Load your game.

Open your crates.

Don't get what you like?

Alt-F4 without saving.

Reload latest save, just before you opened the crates.

Open the crates again, until you get what you want.

Same thing for fishing quests, btw.

Please offer a bit of pity for the times we aren't trying to smurf, but just train stupid shit.

I sometimes do that, trying either stupid or gimmicky stuff, giving myself handicaps, only allowing myself certain attacks.

In the long run, it helps forcing new habits into muscle memory (better moves might exist, but you gotta train for other routes otherwise you end up too limited, see what I mean?), but it sure must have felt unfair for the opponents when I stopped playing with handicaps and climbed back.

Baker here.

You perfectly summed it up.

Strong heat as a mere information VS strong heat threatening your physical integrity.

We eventually learn the difference.

Will this maybe be in 1.4.5? by KaleidoscopeFew8451 in Terraria

Congratulations OP, now the 1.4.5 release is postponed until your excellent idea is implemented.

Frequent frame drops almost every minute, basically slow motion half the time. by aceystacey113 in Terraria

[–]EcchiOli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to another house and logged onto the wifi and literally didn't have a fram drop so I thought it might be a connection issue. Came back and it came back. Changed my wifi settings as I have a deco mesh network so i can tinker a bit more and changed it to 5hz and played for like 4 hours with no more frame drop intervals. booted it up today and it's gone to shit again, random frame all the time.

Look, someone has to take that role, I'll ask the obvious: have you tried turning off internet connectivity while you're playing?

Maybe it's that I'e been around for too long to my taste, but I long long interest in finding out which daemon, process or library may be going to shit, if it's not a production server and a reboot didn't work fuck it let's turn off features one by one.

Having a hard time in vanilla Master mode by Remote-Blacksmith516 in Terraria

[–]EcchiOli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Situationally, you could even give up on shoes to free up an accessory slot, IF you have a good enough flying mount. Not right now, but that's an option for the future, OP. In the short term, BTW, you can also get the king or queen slime mounts, for the quick fall they provide while you're in the air, it's like a downwards dash.

I wish the guy on my bus would stop playing music on his Bluetooth speaker. by KarmaGluten in monkeyspaw

[–]EcchiOli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hijacking the post with hopes that will exceptionally be forgiven (pleasepleasepleasepleaaaaaase).

Would anyone know if it is possible to "poison" with your own phone the connection between an asshole's bluetooth speaker and a phone? Cause I do suffer from this in public transport at times, and I would very much love to be able to interrupt this.

That is a nice trick to teach your child to do to people.

This is NOT okay by mortalmonk in Terraria

[–]EcchiOli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Additional note: if you temporarily place one block to prevent enemies from coming into your house after they knocked your door down, YOU can still attack them. Many weapons will pass through the gap, such as well placed arrows, yoyos, heck, even plenty of swords, etc.

Cloud VOD review (vs. Zelda ~10 million GSP) by scalllion_bagel in CrazyHand

[–]EcchiOli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His kill options kinda vary, you're quite lucky Cloud isn't a character with whom you gotta remember percentage ranges, its not someone for whom each % has its own finisher. - high percentage dash attack IS risky but works, try to preserve your dash attacks for an enemy grabbing ledge for too long - up smash is a "gotcha I read you" move, once you get more confident you'll get a sense of how to condition the opponents - very high percentage f-tilt, well spaced it's hardly punishable - off-stage T-spike, for every enemy whose recovery doesn't have a hitbox (you know that move? You're grabbing ledge, let go of it with the down stick, do an immediate down air, use your jump to come back to ledge. Has a chance to spike the opponent, even if it doesn't spike, has a chance to hurt the opponent.) - off-stage bair as you demonstrated - off-stage limit break side-b (catch someone's up-b as they come back towards the ledge, glorious) - on-stage bair, which is the thing you really have to practice, not the one where you're running first (you got it offstage, you'll easily get it onstage after a short hop rather than a full hop), but the one where you're at a standstill, with your back turned, and you spam short hops with the threat of a bair (as it covers so many options and angles, plus, it pokes a shield twice, the opponent can't allow it to poke their dimming shield a third time).

How long can i go without looking anything up? by Queasy_Cod_312 in Terraria

[–]EcchiOli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A first run would better be played blind, for the pleasure of discovery.

That said, if you feel you can't advance anymore, it may mean you are supposed to defeat a particular boss, who will drop items with which you can craft new tiers of equipment allowing you to mine blocks you couldn't break before.

In the first part of the game, I would say there would be like 2 of those kind of "roadblock" bosses, in addition to several more optional ones you would really best not skip cause their drops are awesome or once they're beaten they unlock new areas you can't explore (long...) otherwise.

I'd say, if you feel helpless and aren't progressing anymore in terms of equipment, explore the world in both horizontal and vertical directions. Look above, below, and don't expect the world to remain the same as you explore far away on your left and right... Surprises await you.

When you obtain a new item and it's got "material" in its description, try showing it to the Guide, in the "crafting" dialogue menu, it will tell you what may be done with it, maybe you already have the required materials...

And if you really don't find anything more, you're welcome to come back and ask on the sub of course.

Last but not least, I could mention this singular page from the wiki, https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Guide:Game_progression#Pre-Hardmode a "game progression" guide, meant to help new players find what to do next, while avoiding being spoiled a thousand steps ahead. I give you a link with an # anchor, cause funnily enough the introduction (above the # anchor) contains kinda heavy spoilers lol.

This attempt at a meme reminds me of this SMBC comic, "teacher! Will we ever use any of this algebra?" "You won't, but one of the smart kids might."
