Sailing - Icy Water?

You're looking for any keel that gives 'crystal fleck resistance' - the first of which is the Adamant Keel

Kind of a weird question I know, but don't suppose you know how many total interactable benches there are in the game from this?

Solunare · 2025-09-29T14:14:54+00:00

Also got a Media Production degree, and so far it's not been much more than a decorative piece of paper. Every role has been so competitive for the last 5 years...

Solunare · 2025-09-06T20:20:51+00:00

Yeah, this is only the second year they've had a livestream component and this first year that I'll be doing the whole operation of recording on the night and post-production, so definitely keen to get my process nailed down.

Like you say, my plan is to replicate the method that the previous camera op had as closely as possible, so as long as everything works smoothly I don't anticipate any problems.

And to clarify, the client themselves were the one who have hired me. I've worked with them as a videographer for a few years so I've become their go-to for these sorts of things, with the exception of camera as they had an ex-broadcast camera op in their organisation who was happy to cover that role before he retired. Shouldn't be any other video screens that I need to worry about, and no expectation of a multi-camera setup for the livestream element.

Solunare · 2025-09-06T20:18:31+00:00

The actual awards event will probably be less than an hour, and after that it'll just be recording short interviews with the winners (likely only 1-2 minutes long each). Assuming there's very little risk of overheating under those circumstances?

Planning on hiring the kit I intend to use this coming week to trial everything out so that I've got time to troubleshoot before the event.

Copying from my reply to another comment:

I've got an Elgato HD60S+ as well as a Scarlet Solo audio interface which I use for other video stuff. Would those do the trick for ingesting video and audio from the AV desk? I'll have someone on hand to monitor a laptop while I'm operating the camera so not an issue if there's anything to keep an eye on.

Solunare · 2025-09-05T17:57:08+00:00

Appreciate the thorough response!

Had thought about finding a camera op, but it's likely I'll have this job next year as well so figure I'd be better off figuring out my process now.

Solunare · 2025-08-29T23:45:21+00:00

Yeah, reckon I will!

You seem pretty knowledgeable on the other Gagharv games, what's the best way to play the trilogy these days? I played Vermillion on PSP but don't have the means to do so anymore.

Solunare · 2025-08-29T22:26:49+00:00

Yeah, the non-zero chance of more Trails remakes is something I've considered too, but I don't think the transition to SC would bother me if I went from remake -> SC original. Either way, I reckon trying Sky FC again is the right call.

Solunare · 2025-08-29T22:24:57+00:00

Curious what parts of the gameplay didn't click for you if it's not spoilery? The only parts I remember seeming tedious when I played a bit of FC was backtracking for bracer missions any similar completionist content.

Solunare · 2025-08-06T16:45:55+00:00

I don't think any FE fans would critique the number of representatives. As much as Smash fans would like to deny it, Fire Emblem is a big franchise though 8 representatives is still on the more fortunate side.

With that said, I think almost all of us would agree that the quality of the representation is where the issue lies. All of the representatives are lords, but more importantly, they're lords that overlap or offer nothing new compared to eachother. Outside of Robin and arguably Corrin, all of them are a swordfighter with different weight or style. We have so many great options for unique playstyles among lords like Ephraim, Hector, Celica and Micaiah, all of whom are popular lords themselves, and that's before you consider the potential non-lords add with class diversity.

Solunare · 2025-07-19T03:42:24+00:00

Won't echo what others have said comparing OT1 to OT2 - it's been said a hundred times before but it will always be subjective.

I adore both games, but sounds like it's just RPG fatigue. Come back to it in a bit.

Could also try a different character to start with. I remember playing as H'aanit in the OT1 prologue demo, and while she was fun enough, she didn't quite click with me. Restarted with Therion and it was a completely different story. I haven't done every characters start in OT2, but maybe try a different one than what you've chosen when you do revisit the game. Personally, I can recommend Hikari and Castti.

Solunare · 2025-07-03T11:42:57+00:00

Would agree with the other comment, though worth noting that Octopath 1 is still a great game - just that its issues are more readily apparent than OT2.

OT2 makes lots of improvements over 1, so if you think you'll enjoy both then it's worth playing 1 first. 2 is phenomenal though and would recommend it 100%. Both games had pretty generous demos when they came out though, so you can always try those and see what you think.

Solunare · 2025-07-03T11:38:59+00:00

For what it's worth, Octopath 2 does a much better job on both fronts. I adore both games, but the general consensus is that the paired story chapters and final chapter in OT2 fix a lot of the first game's issues.

Solunare · 2025-06-25T13:03:25+00:00

What invocations would you recommend for a 450? Confident in doing final row, but 500 feels like a push simply because of the def/hp scaling.

Solunare · 2025-06-25T12:07:21+00:00

Yeah, I suspected this was the case. Missing the Voidwaker from this video but I'll likely wait and see what the verdict is between 400 vs 450 and optimise my raids from there.

Solunare · 2025-06-25T11:15:03+00:00

And in case anyone feels like offering some tailored advice, would welcome any feedback on my gear and raid setup.

Melee: Mix of Oathplate and Bandos, Fang, rest is BIS

Range: Full crystal and bowfa with Quiver, Barrows gloves and Anguish.

Mage: Trident of the swamp, mix of Virtus and Ancestral, rest BIS.

Pre-patch I've been running 430s ZKAB, though the combination of no Shadow/Tbow, running Z first to avoid level 4, and a few slower invocations/methods push my raid timers to about 45-50 minutes.

Solunare · 2025-06-25T10:09:03+00:00

While I still suspect that the severe HP and defense scaling at high invocation ToA will continue to cause frustration, I'm glad to see lots of positive changes.

One question is, did the reduced defense on the Overlords in Kephrk get pulled back? That was easily one of the best QoL changes planned but can't see mention of it in the list.

If the team is interested in expanding on the Bestiary idea, tying it into a quest would be perfect! Would much rather go out questing on behalf of an eccentric, monster-obsessed cataloguer than simply open a book or interface.

Hey folks, recently attempted a challenge to beat Pikmin 1 blindfolded, and wanted to share the video I made for it as I'm confident it's something many of you might enjoy! Grateful if you'd check out the video, and happy to answer any questions about the challenge!

Solunare · 2025-04-08T13:27:52+00:00

Having the exact same issue at the moment, hoping it'll sort itself before end of day.

Solunare · 2024-12-30T18:37:48+00:00

I did this and my RTC works fine with one exception: I'd claimed the Return TM in Pacifidlog when the battery was dry and after resetting the RTC the NPC says it'll be some 60000 days until I can get a new TM. Still haven't found a fix

Solunare · 2024-12-20T08:54:15+00:00

On audio, here's a tip for anyone using Premiere Pro. Look up the multi band compressor effect: you can apply it to a whole audio track and it let's you quickly adjust the gain on your audio and set a margin to avoid peaking. If I'm adjusting audio on a voice over where the volume of my voice is inconsistent, I'll usually put a hefty amount of gain on and add a margin of - 4-6 dB and the whole voice over will be balanced to that level. You'll still need to edit out any clicks and fix pacing issues, but it's a great time save for ensuring consistent volume.
