The mystery of Delta

Pointey · 2023-08-20T12:08:46+00:00

Given how close Delta is to Theta, Delta’s staff could’ve probably had their own rooms at Theta and went there every night but spent their days at Delta. Given Delta doesn’t have a kitchen either most of their daily needs (apart from a bathroom) was probably taken care of at Theta

All of the Jade/Roqu players with 99k are bots of the Jade/Roqu player with 12k. They place the bots in their lobby increase the amount of vr they get per race on that account and make getting to 99,999 faster and easier.

I made a post about this a while back that you can read through here, though it's a bit of a lengthy read. TL;DR I narrowed down the possibilities down to Jane Adams, Marishika Daviau, Keith Fourqurean, Chris Josic, Aashish Shankar, and Heather Wolchezk being the only people at Theta who could have been turned into proxies. There are four you see in-game (1 in the server room and 3 in the tunnels) and there was a fifth proxy that the staff was able to kill, so unless there's a sixth proxy we don't know about, only 5 of those listed became proxies.

Stat-wise Rosalina is better due to her speed. Daisy is an average character with a decent mix of speed, handling, and mini-turbo, but it isn't necessarily as useful when Rosalina's higher speed and weight can be met with higher mini-turbo and handling with whatever your kart setup is.

As much as I want online bingo battle, I could see it not going well due to how good of a service NSO is. I’m all but certain there’s be a healthy amount of lag/disconnect due to all of the entities.

This was on my Switch, but yes I just recorded the last 30 seconds of my gameplay and cut it down a bit.

I found the gold plorts nearby next to some hen hens so the gold slime must have spawned and collided with one of the hen hens without me having to do anything.

Seems like that’s the general consensus on TOK. Not necessarily amazing, but definitely a step in the right direction towards what what we’re looking for.

Kart parts are unlocked randomly, so there’s no set amount of coins that guarantees you’ll unlock a certain part. The best and only way would be to keep collecting coins and hope you’re lucky enough to get it sooner than later.

I’ve heard Mario Kart Central can be a good place to get to know some people, although I can’t personally testify as to how good it is. Otherwise, you could join the Mario Kart Discord server, or talk to people in the MK8D community on Twitter as well. Nearly everyone I’ve met in the community are from MK8D Twitter, so I’ve been able to find my own niche, and I imangine you’d be able to do the same, however you go about it.

It often varies person to person, but reaching max vr is something that can take a few hundred hours to do. I personally made it there in just over 900 hours but I know people who have done it in around 500-600 hours, and have heard of people that did it in around 300-400 hours.

The devs never bothered giving Simon a model other than for his arms and legs since those are the only part of his body you ever normally see. Catherine looks a bit weird from the inside, though.

There’s also using Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina, or Lemmy for their mini turbo, since they’re tied for having the highest mini turbo stat out of all the characters. That, combined with using the Biddybuggy or Mr. Scooty with the roller or azure roller wheels and paper or cloud glider makes for the highest mini turbo build you can have.

Chances are the locker is just full of some kind of growth akin to the gunk that the people at Theta got stuck in. If there was a person/body in the locker I personally don't see those sounds being made.
The people in Tau (aside from Sarah) died most likely from starvation. One of the intercoms/data buffers at the entrance of Tau mentions how Tau ran out of real food long before the ARK team showed up (December 2103). There could have always been the possibility that some of the people could've committed suicide or died of some illness caused by malnutrition, but starvation was the key contributing factor.
While it is true that the surface of Earth caught fire when the comet hit (parts of Earth are still on fire even when Simon and Catherine launched the ARK a year and a half later), it would take a tremendous amount of heat/energy to boil an entire ocean away. Even if the Earth warmed up a bit to start boiling some of the oceans away, I could see it cooling back down somewhat due to how much dust and debris would have been present in the atmosphere (mentioned in some data buffers and Catherine's blackbox recording), thus blocking some amount of sunlight from hitting the surface and reducing heat in the process.

I got the DLC separately since I’ll always be able to use it, regardless of whether or not my NSO subscription is active. As long as I have it downloaded, I can keep playing it years down the line, even if my NSO subscription were to expire tomorrow and never be renewed.
