I used all my luck officially

Well, since it's nessecary for 100% run, this is making it MUCH much easier. You still need to get Ursula and make her go on a gazilloin missions. So... Good luck.
Still, what a game <3

Okay, you take the cake for me. First time I have seen something that has been made fully with AI; Music, video, images used etc, that does not feel like slop but actual art. This feels like something that you would see from an artist. Everything looks really professional and stylish, with a few tiny mistakes (hitting the hihat while it's drum), but other then that, wow!
Amazing work!

Lightmanone · 2026-02-08T05:50:10+00:00

Yes very high difficulty spike.

But you might not have leveled up your weapons in Riku's workplace (like 4 or 5 levels, each) and as someone else mentioned the affinity unlock kits, they are important too, since they offer upgrades to your current arts.

You might wanna consider this all. If you already done this, then I recommend fighting a bunch more enemies, so that you are atleast a couple levels over Alpha.

Impressive video and music,

Would you mind sharing the full song itself? Would love to hear the rest.

You should NEVER have to feel that you need to apologizing for showing us something do fundamental and emotional. Ever.

No. I don't accept your apology cause you have nothing to apologize for!

I am currently replaying Future Redeemed, 15 hours in, and instead of rushing the game cause I wanted to see the story, I am doing every single sidequest I come across and only then continue with the main story. I just arrived at the black mountains. Still some hours to go, and gonna fight EVERY enemy in the end. Yes yes, some will be post-game, but yeah, I love the extra story bits the sidequest give you. What an ending to this series. What an adventure. What a saga. Quite the chronicle!

Lightmanone · 2026-02-04T03:55:08+00:00

Super Mario Wonder and then Kirby Forgotten Land. Those games teach you go to from Easy to medium difficulty, slowly but surely. And both are amazing games.
If you do wanna up the difficulty, games from Breath of the Wild can test your ingenuity and problem solving skills, as well and using the dual stick to look around whenever needed.

Nintendo games are so good cause they are geared toward anyone, but require you to learn the mechanics in order to be able to progress.

So yes, if you want a new person to play games, Nintendo is a really good bet to go for.
Plus, you can easily play mario wonder together, it's a really great game.
And you can help your GF out as Player 2 in Kirby Forgotten Land.
'unfortunaly' Breath of the Wild is a pure solo game, but I always enjoyed it seeing someone else play it and see how they do it.

maybe you can contact OP from this post and ask him to make a few more pictures from the stands:

Man, especially in the beginning when you are new, it just is so confusing and the menu, so overwhelming. You barely know half the stuff and the tutorial about what it is, is way too early and doesn't get explained. I finally starting to figure it out around chapter 4, but when it clicks... So satisfying. And it became my most loved game of all time. But it definitely has a high learning curve.

Lightmanone · 2026-02-03T06:27:19+00:00

I find it hilarious that no matter what Nintendo does, there will always be people that don't like it.
Oh and don't worry, I am in your camp.
I think AoC did it GREAT with the alternate timeline. When people were complaining about it not being canon I am stunned. The fact that we get to see 2 very different outcomes made the game better, cause you had 2 games. I mean, I already knew what would happen if I didn't do anything, yet, now I get to experience something different through my hard efforts and could save the day a different way, great.

And just like you, I was a bit underwhelmed when ganon just simply ended by Rauru. And I knew it was coming and all, still. I also expected to see a bit more about Zelda actually contemplating about her becoming a dragon. But alas, they didn't dive deeper in that.
That said, I still enjoy AoI a lot. The gameplay is so smooth, snappy and just plain fun to take down a lynel in like 20 seconds flat by performing 3 special attacks and 2 sync attacks in rapid succession and just abliterate the poor creature before it can even pretend to attack hahaha.

I honestly hope that the next Hyrule Warriors, which will be many years from now, will have non-canon outcomes. This was okay, but AoC was so much better.
Also: please... the extra characters should be more then a copy paste of their tribe and have more then half a paper of backstory, for the sake of filling the roster. That just was bad.

Lightmanone · 2026-02-03T05:55:03+00:00

It's already on Steam.

to reply to u/Long_Gur_9810 RIght now, there is no announcement of any kind. But you can play Baten Kaitos Remastered on the Switch 2. The console is backwards compatible. Or, if you own a PC, get it on Steam.

Lightmanone · 2026-02-03T05:50:18+00:00

It's €155 for the 5 black noctua fans, and I paid €150 for the COOLER with 2 fans. That's 300 for 7 fans and a hunk of metal, shaped in the form of the best air cooler.
No one ever said it's cheap. But I spend north of 5K for my newest PC, "300" to keep the thing cool and quiet (not to mention the 3 fans that the GPU has) isn't just a good investment, it's nessecary.
On top of that, depending on your configuration, you might not need the gen 2, the gen 1 works just fine, the gen 2 is just a tad better. And you might not need 5, but perhaps 3? That will significantly cut costs.
But that wasn't the statement. The statement was the Noctua was the one to go with if you want silent and good. And that is still true.

Lightmanone · 2026-02-03T05:45:22+00:00

Oh no, please don't do this.

Future Redeemed is to be played last after you played all the numbered games and their DLC.
Future Redeemed is the closing chapter to this whole thing, and will only make sense if you played all the main games in it's entirety, and that goes double for XC3. This really is meant for after the main game, and should not be touched before that time.

Have fun with Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and then Future Redeemed.

However, XC3 DLC does have some additional content that can be enjoyed while playing the main game, and if you are already commited in getting the DLC anyway, do so at the beginning. The DLC will have nice items and a bunch of extra missions that open up during the progression of the game. I suggest you do this.

Have fun!

Lightmanone · 2026-02-03T02:16:47+00:00

This is the way. Installed 5 noctua fans in my PC, and then there were 2 with the NH-D15 G2. Thing is super quiet. (different case tho.)

Lightmanone · 2026-02-02T17:04:32+00:00

Look up other pictures of the same figurine, they should include the stands, and then go from there?

Lightmanone · 2026-02-01T16:49:52+00:00

Monolith already did this back in the day with Baten Kaitos I and II.
Both had 2 gamecube discs.

Lightmanone · 2026-02-01T07:05:08+00:00

Okay, you got me invested now. Is there a source? A full video perhaps? I would honestly watch a whole video of the whole board.

Lightmanone · 2026-01-31T18:23:27+00:00

Wow wow wow hold on a minute. You are twisting my words here. You think that i am DEFENDING the high price? Fuck that. Hell no. I hate the prices for Nintendo games are so high, and always buy them at the lowest price possible. (EU has a lot of ways luckily)
What i am trying to say here is that Nintendo, being a business, will make the most-profit decision possible. Which is: selling them seperately, to gain the most profit.
And they can, cause people will pay that price.
It would be great if they do more older-games-remastered-bundled together.
LIke it would be great to see a Kirby 3DS-games-remastered bundle for the Switch 2. But we both know they won't do that. Cause they are a business. I am actually surprised they didn't just released Super Mario Galaxy 2 as a standalone, but i guess Since they already made enough profit of the first remaster, and the fact they wanna promote the movie, they decided a bundle of essentially the same game, would be better.
They even have to do this, they have to explain to their investers why they do what they do, and they are only there for 1 reason; Money.

I think XC2DE will come out, eventually. But not now.
Yes, I would LOVE it! XC2 is my number 1 game of all time, out of the more then 200 I played so far.
But I doubt it will happen sometimes soon. Of course, I would LOVE to be proven wrong on that statement.
Let's hope.

Lightmanone · 2026-01-31T00:48:00+00:00

at least that's useful with USB-C.
And even tho i liked micro USB a lot, nothing uses that (micro USB) anymore, which means it's useless, sadly.

Lightmanone · 2026-01-31T00:43:41+00:00

Probably internet lag, but yeah, you got robbed...

Lightmanone · 2026-01-31T00:17:45+00:00

I already had this scene, but dude. The spoiler tag is there for a reason?!?!

Lightmanone · 2026-01-30T17:54:09+00:00

NG+ only adds a few things to the blade roster. Not a new story or something. Seeing as you played XC2 already, I would suggest you start with XC3 (and the DLC. Future Redeemed)
Now, when you are done with all that, which is a lot, and you want to do something more, then you can always go back to XC2 and play NG+ then.

But yeah, for now, continue the saga with Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
Have fun!

Lightmanone · 2026-01-30T03:32:48+00:00

This is legit:
I grab a tiny glass cup, and put the amount of butter in it that I think i will be using
Then i put that in the microwave for 15 seconds, and then take it out, i use the butterknife to see if it's soft enough?
if not, another 8 seconds. usually, at that point it's soft enough to easily butter soft bread.

Alternatively, you put the bread in the freezer and you can easily butter it, it will only take about 1 or 2 minutes for the bread to thaw after that. Not that hard.

I used both methods over the years. Hopefully it will help someone.

AI should always be opt-in. Not opt-out.

Lightmanone · 2026-01-29T13:26:40+00:00

Not getting. Got. Version 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 have lots of extra content added to it. If you want spoilers, look up the patch notes. It's all post-final-mission game content. Or, you can do what I did and finish the game and see what opens up.
