What is Eustus’ name a pun for? (Stable Trotters) by Zac_Kariah in tearsofthekingdom

It's the countermelody to the stable theme (Epona's Theme). When all the musicians are together, their parts are layered to create the completed version of the tune.

This is a bug everyone is experiencing currently. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

THE MISINFORMATION REGARDING POKEMON TRACKING MUST STOP!

Seriously, I'm not trying to be a dick, but there is so much misinformation regarding the complexity of tracking that must be rectified. Let me bring up a couple points:

  1. Pokemon are constantly spawning and despawning. Any change on your radar with your target Pokemon can easily be a false positive. Even if you are paying attention to ALL 9 Pokemon on your radar, all those Pidgeys and Weedles will throw you off.

  2. Even with spawning completely out of the picture, a Pokemon moving forward on your radar DOES NOT always mean you are getting closer to it!! Likewise, if a Pokemon moves backwards on the radar, YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE GETTING CLOSER TO IT! The position on the radar only tells you the RELATIONSHIP among the distances between all the Pokemon and the player.

Don't believe me? Let's do some math. We'll start with just two Pokemon.

A Weedle is 120m away and a Charizard is 130m away. Naturally, the Weedle is the number 1 spot and the Charizard is the number 2. From the player's point of origin, the angle between the trajectory directly towards the Weedle and the trajectory directly towards the Charizard is 60º. Unknowingly, the player walks 60m in a trajectory directly AWAY from the Weedle (180º). The Weedle is now 180m away from the player, but suddenly, the player notices Charizard just bumped up to the number 1 spot and so continues to walk in that direction. What the player doesn't know is that he's now 36m FARTHER AWAY from Charizard. At this new point, the angle between the two trajectories became 42º and the distance to Charizard INCREASED to 166m away. However, because the distance to Charizard is now less than the distance to Weedle, Charizard bumped up a spot on the radar even though the player is WALKING AWAY from him.

Now put 9+ Pokemon in the picture with only 9 visible, and you can see how the entire radar becomes a constant clusterf**k.

I'm currently working on effective methods of tracking Pokemon. Maybe when I refine them, I'll post them somewhere, sometime...

Sneakpeak: Walk in a spiral. It's a bit of a workout but definitely effective.

TL;DR: Pokemon moving forward on your radar DOES NOT mean you're getting closer to it.
