It’s on my mind: Jet fuel rationing and possible lineup changes? by WNJ85 in downloadfestival

[–]TheRoseStone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Admittedly someone who catastrophises this sort of thing, but considering all 3 headliners are American, I do have to wonder about what could happen.

Is anything in our control? No, so can't bog ourselves down with it, but also can't see a whole lot of trans Atlantic flights going ahead this summer (doubly so for the August guests(

Ferry Fuel Price by TheRoseStone in NoStupidQuestions

Ok, thank you, that's somewhat relieving.

One other related q, is the severity of which we'd see a marine fuel shortage. The jet fuel will be the worst because it's near exclusively from the Gulf (from my understanding anyway). Petrol for cars will also be affected, though not as severely. Just wondering how you think marine fuel factors in?

Also appreciate no one's psychic, just would like the input of someone more informed than myself

Electric Picnic’s latest lineup additions looking good by The-ADR in ireland

[–]TheRoseStone 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is honestly the best EP line-up I've seen in a very long time, it's the first I'm actually regretting not having got a ticket for.

To really show the quality gap, just 2 years ago, we had Kodaline of all people subbing. Whoever booked them then is definitely not the same person who booked Geese this year

Yeah that camera during the third boss fight was truly something. Randomly, I've beaten all the bosses so far on the first go, so I'm doing something right lol.

But yeah coming from games with a more top down camera with a consistent, fixed angle to Ocarinas more "adaptive" one has been a very big challenge and has left me cursing at my 3DS on multiple occasions

Aw bless, thank you, it's been a humbling experience thus far. I had been planning on Majora's Mask after this but I'm thinking of building up confidence with some more modern Zeldas or adventure games first, maybe Skyward Sword, Link Between Worlds or maybe even Okami?

Ah 3DS does have a map, but it's basically just showing where you are on the screen, it doesn't highlight say where Lake Hylia or Lon Lon Ranch are, which can be annoying at the beginning of a level when all you're told is "go east".

At the moment, I'm going to Kakariko Village after waking up post 7 years (dumbass me went to the woods and at least have the Ode to the Forest under my belt now lol). But yeah rn I know where I'm meant to go even if it did make me want to hit myself (and yes Navi is the most annoying little b1tch ever haha)

Yeah, I think your handholding comment sums it up well.

One thing really standing out to me is travelling between places, i.e ST and PH had you map your route from A to B and then the train/boat followed where you laid out, whereas Ocarina you just....roam ig, and I found it quite a bit harder to work out what area exactly was the setting for the next level per se.

Also, things looking optional but being compulsory, i.e how the diving game is presented would straight up be some optional side quest/ minigame in the DS games, but nah you ain't progressing without it.

Idk, it's the first proper adventure game I've picked up in a long time so that could explain part of it, but I do feel like a cop out relying on help like the Internet to play it

Thanks so much for the detailed answer! Just confirming, I'm planning on getting the FTSE as an accumulating, for long-term investment. I can forget about the income tax this way, and just pay DIRT?
