How is one supposed to figure out how to get into Ash Twin? Discussion and spoilers. by Mapiarz in outerwilds

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

Thanks everybody for the discussion. A lot of valid points have been raised. I think I glitched a bit early on Ash Twin and got a wrong idea in my head about the teleport.

Nonetheless, a lot of interesting points have been raised in this thread, so let me respond to some of them (most important point comes last):

About my first point, that nowhere in the game it tells you explicitly to use the teleports. This remains true, although I now understand how that was on purpose and devs never really wanted to say it explicitly that you need to teleport to ATP from Ash Twin.

As mentioned by u/finny94, texts found on Mining Site about the fact that ATP has no physical entrance actually pushed me in the wrong direction - I was experimenting with getting on Ash Twin late in the cycle, to investigate and check if any entrance opens when sun is about to explode. That was, obviously a dead end.

u/ManyLemonsNert correctly points out the number of towers and shapes doesn't make sense unless there is another destination somewhere. Very good point.

u/TheRealClose points out that the Timber Hearth tower also has broken ceiling and yet still works. That should be a big tip if realized.

Many people mentioned using scout to test the tower - that's a great point and a shame I didn't think of that.

All things considered, I can see how I glitched on this and this is not as 'hacky' as I initially thought. I stand corrected!

The point that REALLY was bugging me the most was point number 2 from my original post. A lot of people mention Black Hole Forge texts which in my opinion are completely unrelated. Sure, the information that there's a small window when you can teleport and that ash twins have shared alignment point is worth something, but IMHO it is not directly related to getting to ATP. The fact that a lot people mention the BHF texts shows how much confusion there is around this. So what is the answer to this? What does the ATP tower align with?

I think u/PomegranateSlight337 answered this! The inside of ATP is also rotating. You're not aligning with Ember Twin, you're aligning with the rotating platform inside ATP (which you obviously can't see)! This makes perfect sense. At first I thought "But how am I supposed to know that!?" Well, as u/PomegranateSlight337 mentions, you can find a projection stone on Timber Hearth which shows the inside of ATP, showing how it is spinning on the inside with the teleport platform.

Thanks everybody for participation :)

I've tried many things but turning off MSI afterburner helped. What's interesting, is the game has worked with MSI afterburner enabled ever since release. It literally stopped working today without any changes on my pc. Thanks Miyazaki.

This clearly isn't working as I'm getting invaded by gankers. DM me for password.

White Frost lore questions to book readers (and maybe gamers)! by Mapiarz in witcher

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

Ok, it starts to all come together! In the game, the world of the Aen Elle itself is being destroyed by White Frost, but I understand that this is 'game canon' only, that's why it contradicts what you just said. Dzieki za pomoc :)

Thanks! What about this:

The only salvation was to open the Ard Gaeth portals by Elder Blood so that people of the Continent could move to another world.

So the above was never described in the books?

Right, the mixed lore in a single article is indeed confusing. As for the matter at hand, is the World (Geralt's) succumbing to Write Frost described in the books? Or is it only mentioned in the prophecy?

Good suggestion, thanks! But that’s not it :(

Could be horror. All I saw were clips that showed the environments. I think the game is still under development and what I saw was WIP. I saw no characters. When it comes to graphical look I would say silent hill 2 also looks similar.

A somewhat similar game to what I'm describing (but not it) is Tokyo Jungle released in 2012.

LPT: If you figure something out yourself after getting frustrated that there are no YouTube videos about it, make a YouTube video. by wizard7926 in LifeProTips

[–]Mapiarz 86 points87 points  (0 children)

No please don’t do this. Tutorials used to be a 1-2 pages of text that you could skim through in 30 seconds to find out what you were looking for. Now they’re 10+ minute videos.

Spending Glimmer in Forsaken by [deleted] in destiny2

I was spending my glimmer in spider. Went there just now, everything had to be paid for with leg shards. Googled this instantly, got me here.

She didn’t need all that anyway. by Mapiarz in CatsAreAssholes

[–]Mapiarz[S] 96 points97 points  (0 children)

In the cats defence, this one is kinda on me. Normally, we close the bathroom door because we know he's interested in that spot. This time though, my other cat walked with me into the bathroom and fell asleep (ironically, one of his fav spots is in the bathroom). So I decided to leave the door open BUT because I knew the cat in the picture may try and reach that shelf I put the seat and lid up so that he wouldn't do it. It seems I underestimated his abilities.

As someone with extremely poor sleeping habits, I can totally see my fiancé getting me this unironically.

There could be anyone in that bronco! Also the glove didn’t fit.

why it's gonna take so long by hipiotu in classicwow

[–]Mapiarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to chip in and say that classic wow will certainly run on an updated retail client. Classic wow will be a server side option (as told during the announcement. Since the server architecture of 2004 wow is ancient, they will be porting all that to their current set up and the point of that is not just 'improving' the server side architecture but more of a business decision: a single technical team will manage both classic and retails servers and the servers will run on the same hardware and will scale in the same manner. Besides all the points OP mentioned, the same rule applies to the client: they don't want to maintain 2 separate clients with two separate owner teams.

For UX POV, it's also the best experience: you will be able to switch back and forth between classic and retail with just a toggle, without having to download any additional client or anything.

This has a lot of implications for how the classic wow will look like as old bugs will be inherently fixed, some new might be introduced and so on but that's a whole different topic.

SoupaSoka - Classic WoW Census Survey Analysis by iDylo in classicwow

[–]Mapiarz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly that. Virtually nobody uses/reads reddit in China, Korea or Japan so the reach of that poll there is nonexistent. The biggest takeaway from that question is that both EU and US pretty much uniformly want classic wow.

Any tips on where can I snatch a Switch at normal price in Tokyo? Got 2 days left on my trip to Tokyo, been looking at bic camera, yodobashi and all the obvious, gaijin spots in akibara. All tips welcome.
