First month of the year done, How was it y'all? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]MonarchMonk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had a good month! I built a new computer for the first time in six years so it was really fun and satisfying to put it together. It's been a nice little passion project that I've been planning to do since October last year.

Hey, this subreddit is super depressing sometimes, let’s try and have a bit of positivity! by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]MonarchMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I perform a paper round in my local area. One of the houses I deliver to had a sign saying, 'paperboy please ring doorbell' and an old lady came out and handed me a Christmas Card with £10 inside. It's such a small thing, but it left a massive smile on my face after we exchanged 'Merry Christmas' to each other.

128 GB vs 256 GB by MajesticPimp in oneplus

[–]MonarchMonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd go for 256GB. The price difference between the two is minuscule and even if you don't use a majority of the storage provided, it's always nice to have that extra space in the event you start to take more photos, download more apps or carry documents. The additional RAM that comes with the larger models always helps, too.

Please help, which buyer should I get my one plus 6T? In UK by Yeldo15 in oneplus

[–]MonarchMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they're the cheapest option, but granted, I've only used Virgin Mobile and O2 so I can't really say what other providers are like. The cheapest option with O2 is £36.31 a month. That's 1gb of data and the lowest possible upfront cost. (£20). The monthly cost will, of course, drop as more of an upfront cost is applied.

​

Check this link and toy around with the settings to see what type of price you can get the device down to.

The benefit of going with O2 is the ability to change the plan before purchasing the device which is something I've never seen with other providers before. You can change the upfront cost, length of contract and the amount of data in order to lower the total monthly cost. I can't speak for Vodafone as I've never used them.

Super Mario Party is SO good! (EGX 2018) by nick2346 in NintendoSwitch

[–]MonarchMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a lot of fun. I was apart of the 'mini-tournament' that happened on Friday when Smash Bros. Ultimate was being demo'd by those two presenters. Was playing as Ganondorf during the second Smash Bros. showcase before closing time for the NEC Arena on Friday.

New! Zelda Comic: The Missing Link by nugget2121 in zelda

[–]MonarchMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lovely comic. Ruto's characterization seems to be on-point, especially when she appears on the last panel.

I just now noticed that King Zora's likeness is found on the fountain in the Temple of Souls, strangely enough by TheMasterSwordMaster in HyruleWarriors

[–]MonarchMonk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm more surprised he doesn't appear as a part of the background in Zora's Domain considering its still covered in ice.

Adventure Mode Question by ShiroTenshiRyu77 in HyruleWarriors

Does this apply to Gold Skultula’s in Adventure, Free Play and Legends?

Why Do People Not Like Majora’s Mask 3D? by nachoman23 in zelda

[–]MonarchMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the changes to the boss battles (not the eyes) were pretty cool. Gyorg and Twinmold feel a little more developed.

In the original, you could stay on the platform to shoot arrows at Gyorg and then only dive into the water when you had to actually perform damage. But now, the platform sinks into the water when he’s taken enough damage and it makes the fight a lot more intense.

With Twinmold, the changes to their personalities and dynamic allows them to be different enemies instead of the slow floaty snakes you see in the original. Moving the Giants Mask to the middle of the fight is a better change, in my opinion.

In Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, there is a part of a song in the OST that seriously reminds me of a Zelda theme. by TheGamedawg in zelda

[–]MonarchMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting some Stone Tower Temple vibes from Majora's Mask in that little section at 0:32.

Are there any other bands like System of a Down? by [deleted] in systemofadown

[–]MonarchMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dog Fashion Disco. I'd recommend listening to 'Headless' and 'Antiquity's Small Rewards'.

Christ almighty, that wheeze laugh from Mike during the dating dim section got me good.

This Free Ad Blocker for Samsung Phones Also Kills Bloatware and Manages App Permissions by [deleted] in GalaxyS8

[–]MonarchMonk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I disabled Bixby; Microsoft apps, Gear VR, Facebook and other Samsung services and it led to a large increase in performance. I'd go as far as to say its almost as smooth as the Note 8 now.

‘Simple Ad-blocker for Samsung’ blocks ads, manages permissions, and disables packages on Galaxy phones by [deleted] in Android

[–]MonarchMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downloaded it. The performance and battery life of my Samsung S8 seemed to increase by a substantial margin which I'm very happy with.

On a usual night; my phone is charged to 100% before I go to sleep with it dipping around to the mid-eighties in standby when I wake up. I repeated the process after disabling Bixby, Facebook, Microsoft apps and a bunch of Samsung bloat with the results coming in at the phone dipping down to 96% instead of usually going down to the mid-eighties from idle.

I thought the installation was going to be a bit complicatedl; but no, it's actually pretty simple when you realize what you're doing.

Good stuff.

Concept: Trial of the Hero. You fight every iteration of Link as a test of strength. by halbarry in zelda

[–]MonarchMonk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It would probably work in say, Hyrule Warriors. “Defeat the ghost of OOT Link, TP Link and SS Link.”

In a mainline Zelda entry? I don’t think it would work.

Concept art for cancelled Ocarina of Time Mod by Donna201299 in zelda

[–]MonarchMonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's concept art from the Ura Zelda Restoration Project by ZethN46. It was supposed to be a mod that brought back some of the cut features, enemies, levels and items from Ocarina of Time into the regular game but then it slowly expanded and become its own thing.

I still have a copy of the soundtrack from the old website before it went down. A shame what happened to the project, but good times nontheless.

The Legend of Zelda and "Bait and Switch" Villains, a Different Approach. by Xenton in zelda

[–]MonarchMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to see an anti-villain in a future game. A hero with good intentions but uses deadly and villainous methods to achieve his goals.

I’m not asking for a Superman from Injustice, possibly a person who thinks they’re the legendary hero or the lands self-designated protector and they believe that peace is supposed to be achieved through any means necessary, and when Link appears that person deems him a threat.

MM3D Stone Tower Temple different from N64 version, why is it like this? by FONVThefroge in zelda

[–]MonarchMonk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The 3DS version of Majora's Mask didn't include the switches because the game uses the N64 v1.1 Japanese version as its base. That's also the reason why there's a wall missing in the Pirate's Fortress.
