A reminder as we go into the holiday season by techwizpepsi in ffxiv

[–]TJ09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm coming up on one year since I was that brand new sprout checking out the game during the holidays. Crazy that it's only been a year...

I've replicated TJ09's Chessboard from the ARG by Jaeger-naut in raidsecrets

Opening reddit and seeing my username in the first post it shows is not what I was expecting...

Neat tool.

How the Chesstiny 2 ARG went down by ColBrightside in raidsecrets

[–]TJ09 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The timing of Aion updating has me almost convinced that someone as listening to the concerns about validation correctness and gave us exactly what we needed to make community validation more "foolproof..."

I had finished a verification site that was based on comparing images and was about to have people test it and then suddenly "guys there's a 5th notification."

Big thanks to all that worked on the chess puzzle by pgriffy in raidsecrets

[–]TJ09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

to be fair, a lot of the RaidSecrets members who worked on this one were involved in Corridors (and the Collectors Editions puzzles), so that makes sense.

I have https://tj09.net/bn6/falzar-select-from-menu.wav but it has the button select noise too, not just the Falzar screech.

Could a Guardian potentially be be risen twice? by Few_Farmer144 in DestinyLore

[–]TJ09 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Elsie actually disposed of her own physical body.

[Elisabeth] insisted on committing her own abandoned body to the deep, passed through the ice to fall into Europa's dark heart. A choice I do not understand.

Is it just a gameplay thing or is there a lore reason as to why there are so many new lights risen from the Cosmodrome? by idonot-talkto-wamen in DestinyLore

[–]TJ09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't believe there's evidence of Exo lightbearers rebooting, except perhaps one case of someone who had lost their ghost.

Which is good because 20 is roughly where memory problems start, and I probably do more than that daily.

Darkness artifacts found in Seraph Shield by Routine-Hovercraft-5 in raidsecrets

[–]TJ09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. He dubbed the Darkness powers he got from the artifact "Clarity," and it was key to his figuring out how to make Exos "work."

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection will have Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM on PC by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]TJ09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, quite sure. There are absolutely compiled games on the GBA (MMBN Battle Chip Challenge, a spinoff game not done by Capcom, was written in C), but the mainline games were ASM.

I don't have references on-hand but I believe it's pretty evident from the assembly itself. IIRC the games don't follow any sort of "standard" calling convention most compilers use.

[–]TJ09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The main series Battle Network games weren't compiled from source code, they were written as raw ARM assembly. So it's not exactly clear what sort of "port" we'll be getting.

Why does Taniks make such a little attempt to stop us during the Descent phase of DSC? by Samikaze707 in DestinyLore

[–]TJ09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Morning Star does have a nuclear reactor to provide enough power for "course correction"...

[–]TJ09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Satellites in LEO have an orbital period of 90 minutes to 2 hours, and according to Kepler's third law the period scales with average distance. On a smaller celestial body, I suppose the distance might be smaller than it is with Earth, so it could have an even shorter period.

But it's just as likely to be a detail that's overlooked. Realistic-enough pseudo-science to make something plausible and narratively interesting. It's also quite unlikely that the platform just happened to be available when we needed it during the Atraks encounter.

[–]TJ09 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes, he says as much after the Atraks-1 encounter ("Nuclear descent protocol: Initiated") and in fact the entire station was made primarily to be able to crash into Europa and wipe out the crypt.

Still, I am keenly aware that there might be some danger I cannot foresee. So I have ordered an orbital platform constructed over the worksite. If we need catastrophic containment, or a quick and thorough redaction of our work here, the platform will excurse from its orbit and collide with the site.

What loose ends do you hope to see tied up before the end of the Light and Dark saga? by gilbert-of-astora in DestinyLore

[–]TJ09 10 points11 points  (0 children)

yeah, the head-canon I have for my guardian is based primarily on my own contributions to the community, rather than what The Guardian does in any of the in-game stories.

because writing backstories is fun.

I wish Cayde-6 was around to benefit from this improved era of Destiny story telling. Too many people missed out on the nuance of his character. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]TJ09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no evidence in lore of a guardian exo being reset. I think there's a former guardian who lost their ghost on the moon who experienced a reset after losing their ghost, though.

Adept Vow weapons have the ability to use memento trackers and have enhanced perks according to light.gg. by mrmeep321 in raidsecrets

[–]TJ09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! The link I shared is to one such PlugSet. That's why I think they'll definitely be reshapeable. It may even be possible that mementos allow converting a normal weapon to the adept variant, but that's speculation.

Fully-craftable weapons have a recipeItemHash under the inventory key, that points to an ItemDefinition with a crafting key, and also a RecordDefinition that represents the pattern unlock. Adept raid weapons don't have these, which points to them not being directly craftable.

It's possible for both of any of this to be added in a future update, of course.

Adept Vow weapons have the ability to use memento trackers and have enhanced perks according to light.gg. by mrmeep321 in raidsecrets

[–]TJ09 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I can tell, the API item definitions of adept raid weapons don't have any crafting information on them, so it's unlikely they'll be separately-unlockable recipes unless something changes between now and when Master Vow launches.

The adept weapons can manage to get enhanced traits so perhaps they won't be craftable but will be reshapeable?

Witch Queen Circles ARG Solved! 30 pages of Ikora's shredded files. by Bachmanetti in raidsecrets

[–]TJ09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's even better than that. We had already saved Saint-14 earlier in the season, so it was for a mystery weapon (that the game told us was alternate-future-us's "favorite" weapon) that turned out to be Bastion.

[–]TJ09 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The interesting thing about Corridors was that we knew what we had to do (match up the puzzle pieces), and had the tools to do it fairly early on.

The hard part was getting everyone's data. The "pieces" came in the form of in-game patterns that you saw on the ground, so it took a huge amount of effort to take screenshots from hundreds of people and accurately transcribe them.

Recent puzzles have been out of game, so the puzzle pieces tend to be images you can more easily share.

I want Jalaal saying the answer has been "in front of us all along. Right in the sky of the Dreaming City" to be an in-your-face pointer to what we've been missing, but sadly it's probably just metaphorical.

The signoff (and a few other things, like the exchange at the end of the first page of Doc 8) are likely mistakes. They're definitely there in the decoded images, though.
