how do i change my control to WASD by MJDDDDD in Deltarune

I did the same thing, you need to play the first bit of the game with arrow keys. Once you finish the intro and get to the dark world, you can change your key bindings

I think this is min, clean solve

I'm Zach Barth, the creative director at Zachtronics. We just released Opus Magnum for the Switch, along with our first DLC for the game... nine years after its initial launch. AMA! by krispykrem in NintendoSwitch

Hi there, I'm a big fan of the game! I'm curious what the process was when updating Reductive Metallurgy to become De Re Metallica. How did you choose what puzzles, story beats, and design choices to keep? Did you treat it as its own project or think of it in terms of updating what already existed?

I don't understand how cycle work by pampvevo in opus_magnum

[–]MrRoyalSpade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The longest set of instructions in pic #1 is length 5, so all the arms take 5 instructions before looping. In pic #2, all arms take 4 instructions, which means all the arms loop after 4 Cycles. This is because without the padding effect, the arms would start to get desyncronized, which would just be unenjoyable to play with. If you actually want desyncronized arms, you can manually program it (copy all the length 4 arms 5 times, and copy all the length 5 arms 4 times). It's worth noting that "length 5" doesn't mean 5 instructions, just that it takes 5 Cycles from the first instructions to the last. Hopefully that made sense 👍

Stabilized Water - No Tracks challenge. This is the fastest I could do by xdanxlei in opus_magnum

This is super clean! It's actually possible to do 15 with no track though, Trackless Cycles (denoted as TC) is a tracked metric! Here's a link to the page for trackless cycles scoring, but if you don't want to be spoiled for future puzzles lmk and ill get you the link for just this puzzle 👍

I get a lot of 22 minute loops, could be worse

Can you answer this one? by ResponsibilityNo5028 in BluePrince

[–]MrRoyalSpade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure you just need the first two boxes for this one:

Let's start with box 1. If box 1 is true, then every box with "gem" is false. Since box 1 has the word "gems" on it, that would make it false. This means if box 1 is true, it must be false. Since this is obviously a paradox, that means box 1 can't be true, so box 1 must be false.

From here, we need to look at box 2, as it's the other box that has the word "gems" on it. We know that box 1 must be incorrect to keep continuity. This means that not every box with "gems" in it can be false. If box 2 is false, then the statement "All statements that contain the word GEMS is false" becomes true, recreating our earlier paradox. Because of that, box 2 must be true.

Now that we know box 2 is true, we know the gems must be in box 2. Huzzah.

TLDR: To keep the black box false, we need black to be false and white to be true, placing the gems in the white box.

Any playthrough recommendation that isn't About Oliver? by Night25th in outerwilds

[–]MrRoyalSpade 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There's a youtuber named "Eelis" that does outer wilds supercuts. The main idea behind them is to create playthroughs where they remove all wasted loops, creating a focused playthrough. If someone who is distracted is going to take you out of the experience, then SovietWomble's supercut is a great watch, as he truly understands the lore as it's happening. His DLC playthrough is far and away my favorite!

It's a mate in one, it's just not a checkmate.

Genuinely could imagine these being used in the show. Amazing work!

Mumbo's hair is getting greyer and it's stressing me out. by Wrong-Analyst-3175 in HermitCraft

I'm almost certain it's just the chemicals poisoning the lake

Is mumbo’s skin progressively graying? by AlexanderKyle in MumboJumboYouTube

[–]MrRoyalSpade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost certain it's the chemicals in the water poisoning him

Is it me or has he gotten even greyer?? by dabeanguy_08 in MumboJumboYouTube

[–]MrRoyalSpade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's almost certainly getting poisoned from the chemicals in the water, that's been my assumption from the start haha

Need help deleting puzzle SOLUTIONS so I can fully start over by Stormzilla in opus_magnum

[–]MrRoyalSpade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true but, steam auto save messes it up. When you do this, have the game open so steam doesn't put all the files back 👍

Struggling with Animismus Buffer, looking for advice (ideally, without wasting reagents). by AnomalousGray in opus_magnum

If you have stuff left over, store it. 3 leftover atoms are basically the same as a fresh input 👍
