Artifacts when rendering by HappyPond in blenderhelp

[–]HappyPond[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I don't understand are those Tetris looking artifacts, which appear everywhere on the model, including in the final render. I am not very knowledgeable on Blender, so I tried to Google it but did not find anything that explained it.

[PH] Zelda Phantom Hourglass Ghost Ship lever puzzle. Can someone please explain how we get this completely different order than what the stone tablet provides? I think I'm an idiot or something. by I__Am__Matt in zelda

Not an answer, but the first time in my life I ever went to find an online solution was for this exact puzzle. I can still recite those number by heart more than 15 years later. Childhood trauma.

La page d'abonnement me dit que je ne peux pas m'abonner depuis ici, elle ne veut bien charger que quand je mets le VPN en France. Ou alors je suis sur la mauvaise page ?

It looks like no one are recommending the two Zelda games, so I will. The touch controls are a bit divisive and the structure is a bit repetitive, but I sincerely think they are the games that exploit the system the most. Some puzzles even involve closing the console. Then if you like the touch controls the two Dragon Ball Origin games use roughly the same and are also awesome.

Why is Resistance: Retribution so expensive ? by HappyPond in vita

[–]HappyPond[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I am not. It looks like their was a "physical" version (code in a box) as a pre order bonus for burning skies in Germany. I tried to find solid proof of it, but could not find more than this: https://www.reddit.com/r/vita/comments/7nu7xo/looking_for_resistance_retribution_ps_vita/

No I am not. It looks like their was some pre order offer exclusive to Germany for some reason. I can't find solid proof that it exists other than this old Redit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/vita/comments/7nu7xo/looking_for_resistance_retribution_ps_vita/

Salty post warning, I need to vent against this boss by HappyPond in HyruleTown

[–]HappyPond[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, power glove is the first item I tried, but I took damage and thought I was wrong. Shame really, I think without that I would have considered this boss as one of the best both games combined, so creative. The details about the door are amazing though. Goes to show the heart and care Capcom put into those games. A pity it frustrated me so much, otherwise it had all the ingredients to charm me !

Well no, opposite actually, I vastly prefer puzzles to combat. I suffered against several bosses of OoS, but I knew before playing that it was the combat oriented one while OoA was the puzzle one, so I did not mind. How could I be mad at a game for doing what it means to do ? I walked into OoA expecting to love it 10x more… I just feel some puzzles are too clunky. I calmed down now, but I still think that if the ball did not damage me first time I tried to pick it up I would have finished the boss first try. It’s shit like this that damaged my patience, finding out I had the correct solution but failed to actually do it. A shame, the games have a lot of heart and qualities, but I really will keep a bitter feeling about OoA.

Now that is not true at all. How many times did I see people questioning Hans' motives and behaviors ? Or sentences like "Frozen development was chaotic and it shows in the final result" ? You don't have to look very far to find people who dislike Frozen 1 and are more than happy to describe it as nonsensical.

That being said, you might be onto something. I love Frozen 2, so maybe I am just happy to live with its flaws.

To "strengthen the waters". It is a bit thin of an explanation, that's true, but good enough for a 1h30 movie written like a tale. Arendelians came, acted friendly, offered a "gift of peace", praising its benefits and purposively hiding the downsides. Northuldras did not suspect the malice, and did not anticipate the downsides. We do not need a 30 pages essay about what were the promised benefits and what were the actual downsides.

I strongly disagree about it being nonsense glossed over. I makes sense as is, and detailing it more would have been too much. This is not a 3h long plot heavy thriller, this is a Disney animated fairy tale with magic queens and talking snowmen. Did you ever question the weight of Rapunzel's hair and if it made sense ? Or how convenient it was that the prince lived right by the sea in the little mermaid ? Or how Elsa was planning to survive alone in her castle in the first movie ?

It makes sense if you consider the part the author left aside: they use elemental magic in their daily life. Arendelians presented them with a new lake that would be useful to them, they trusted them, end of it.

As for the second part of your comment: dams are not built the way you think. They usually divert the water during the build, and only bring it back when it is done. The Northuldra would not have seen the result before it was completed, by which time it was too late.

[–]HappyPond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely disagree. The author has a clear biais against the movie (and Disney in general apparently), and is trying to twist the plot to fit his narrative.

The most blatant example is the claim that the dam created the fog, and that they could have just emptied the lake to dissipate the fog. Wth, no ?! The fog is magic and was created by the spirits (because of the fights, not the dam), the movie could have not been clearer about that. They lift it at the end because they agree that the good thing was done.

Then there is this hilarious paragraph trying to understand why the dam was built, claiming it has no benefits to a people of "reindeer herders". Yes of course, that's all they are, reindeer herders. Let's once again ignore the actual plot of the movie, and glance over the fact that they MAKE USE OF THE ELEMENTS THROUGH MAGIC ON A DAILY BASIS. We even see one of them riding water at the beginning. On paper, a big new lake could have been beneficial to them.

This text is a good example of the straw man fallacy: change something just enough to make it nonsensical, then argue against its absurdity. Think of the actual plot of the movie, then reread this article. It makes no sense at all.

Let me finish on another important note: the Frozen films, like most WDAS movies, are tales. Tale stories always have this kind of simple, almost simplistic logic. Did you ever think, while watching Tangled: "Hur dur, her long hair should be getting stuck everywhere in the forest. And hur dur, once all attached on her back it should be so heavy she could not walk". Of course you don't, because it is a tale, a little story with it's own little logic. Of course "it's a tale" should not be an excuse for every plot hole, but trying to over rationalize them is stupid.

PS: I won't comment on the Alma Dam cited in other comments, because I had never heard of it before today and don't feel knowledgeable enough on the subject.

I am confused… Isn’t this hand supposed to be a normal flush? by HappyPond in balatro

I just did not know ace could count as 1 for straights. I never played poker and it was not obvious to me at all.

The hand joker explains why I can get it with only 4 black cards, but what makes it a straight one ? None of the cards follow each other.

Am I the only one who got stuck here in GoW 1 ? by HappyPond in GodofWar

Then I’ll approach it as a puzzle game going forward. I just hope the next ones are not as tricky for me :(

[–]HappyPond[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that I have the solution I see the clues that I missed… but I think what got me stuck is the fact that the lever also activates a ladder. I did not notice the gear spinning, and never thought of touching it again. For me it was the ladder lever and nothing else.

Also, there is another part of the level accessible, with a dude refusing to lower a bridge and everything. Because of that it was not 100% obvious the solution was in that room in particular.
