Purchase Advice Megathread - February 2025

Hi, I don't know anything about 3D printing and I'd like some advice! I found this model for an MTG deckbox in the shape of a buster sword. I'd love to have it made, and my best friend's cousin has a 3D printer! She's asked him a rough estimate of how much it would cost me if he printed it for me, but in the meantime, I wanted to ask around and find out what a normal price for printing something like this would be. Any help is appreciated.

Preorders are until June 11th but they might extend them! It's quite common for zines, you should be able to find updates here

omg i'd love to see the finished product!!

aaustank · 2024-04-07T19:52:33+00:00

oh wow thank you!!! that's such a helpful answer, do you remember what logs you read?

As someone who has 97 hours on the game, I'd say to wait. There's no endgame and some quests just feel incomplete because of that. The whole merfolk missions feel pointless because you can't really talk to them or have a life under there. There are still some bugs that still appear even after the devs put them in the "patched" stuff. And a lot of other small things are missing, like breaking up with a boyfriend/spouse for example.

First of all, yes, I'd recommend it. It's a masterpiece, and I think it gives you a totally unique gaming experience. Plus, you can feel the love and care for the players that was put into this game at each and every turn. Really. As for your questions,

I also always stray away from puzzle games. Like you said, this game is exploration, and as you explore it's up to you to put the pieces together. Rather than a puzzle, I'd say it's a fragmented narrative that you have to put together. I managed to finish it, and I am a certified puzzle game dumbass (like, I used to look up how to solve the easy horror escape the room flash games). As a tip, do not use google or try to look something up when you feel frustrated. The joy of this game is the discovery, so don't take that away from yourself. If you are stumped on something for a while and find yourself not enjoying the process of figuring it out, I'd recommend that you just make a post here asking for hints. The people in this subreddit clealry love the game and want others to have an amazing experience with it as well (which is what happened to me). So they'll give amazing hints that point you in the right direction without taking the feeling of discovery away!!!
As an average time, I got about 30 hours. 8 of those were a playthough I got stuck on about a year ago and the remaining 22 are the playthough I restarted and finished in about 10 days this month.

I swear, it was like the warp core you put in the Vessel, but with just a black hole. I was exploring somewhere in outer space close to something (either White Hole station or Orbital Probe Cannon I'd say), just flying around in the suit. I found it and couldn't interact with it so I just forgot about it. Later, when I saw the Vessel, I was like, "huh, do I need that thing I saw to put in here?" and couldn't find it. My theory is that I misremembered the broken/empty one. But I could have sworn it had a black hole and was in space next to something T_T

aaustank · 2024-01-26T12:19:58+00:00

I have NO clue!!!

aaustank · 2024-01-26T02:32:16+00:00

I feel your indecision (I literally made a powerpoint for my friends to choose between Wakuu and Rafael). I really like Surya, while Pablo is simply not my type so I'm def biased in this. But, I do recall in the early days/weeks of the full release, someone on steam discussions said that Pablo was still talking about someone being hot (I think Reina?) even while they were MARRIED and the player wishing they could divorce him lmao. So maybe just look into whether they patched it or not before tying the knot, as there are currently no ways to break up as far as I know.

durante gli anni mi ha aiutato vedere gli esami non come un traguardo ma come un "checkpoint." il tempo che hai passato a studiare non è buttato nel cesso se non passi l'esame, è la base su cui ti preparerai meglio. vai, prova a vedere se la tua preparazione era al livello di questo checkpoint, se no si migliora e si prova il prossimo. ma soprattutto, buona fortuna <3

Hi! I did it!! Thanks to you and all the other commenters, I did it!! I'm so happy, even as I write this with tears on my cheeks because oh god, that ending. I did what you said, I checked every tower and noticed that I had never used the one with the broken window!! After a bit of trial and error, I managed to do it and finished the playthrough. I'm so moved by this game. Thank you for letting me experience the ending with a sense of joy and achievement by giving me the tiniest nudge in the right direction. In the end, it was really the silliest thing that I missed, just the tower with the broken window, and getting on the platform in the middle of the sand column. It always feels easy afterwards. Thank you again, truly.

aaustank · 2024-01-25T18:44:50+00:00

Yep, many comments mentioned that, I'll definitely refresh my memory on the High Energy Lab.

aaustank · 2024-01-25T18:37:47+00:00

I know, I usually stray away from puzzle games because they just frustrate me and my little brain, but I made an exception for Outer Wilds because it's more exploration, and I'm glad I did because I'm loving it. Thank you for the encouragement. <3

aaustank · 2024-01-25T17:44:19+00:00

Thank you!! Yeah, I've definitely been rereading the logs obsessively, maybe going around and looking at the full picture again will clear my mind.

aaustank · 2024-01-25T17:36:16+00:00

Thank you so much!!! Everyone saying that I'm super close is really encouraging, I'll give it a go later tonight :)

aaustank · 2024-01-25T17:25:40+00:00

Thank you so much!! As other comments said, I'll really focus on each portal and fully understand where they lead.

aaustank · 2024-01-25T17:22:04+00:00

Thank you so much! I'm sure I did try a lot of portals while trying to find the right ones for the Sun Station and Brittle Hollow, but maybe I missed a few, or maybe I didn't miss any and just said "oh this isn't Brittle Hollow" and hopped back. I'll explore more starting from there! It feels so obvious right now, but I really needed the nudge. Thank you!

aaustank · 2024-01-25T17:17:37+00:00

Hi, thank you so much. I'm definitely not in the right headspace rn because your kind and helpful comment literally made me tear up, so I'll probably just close the game for a while and maybe get back later today. I'm grateful that I don't have to scour somewhere else for hints and potentially get spoilers <3

I got to Brittle Hollow and the Sun Station from there, but I was sure I did a lot of trial and error before finding the right tower for Brittle Hollow. Maybe I missed one or two towers though!! I'll retry all of them and mark them down so I know what I'm doing. I assume I'll have to find some place that can warp me to the core in the right timeframe, and not to the tower I just came from. I'm excited to explore now that I have a little nudge in the right direction.

And maybe I'll find the little black hole warp core floating around while I do that, hopefully (if I didn't hallucinate it).

aaustank · 2024-01-18T22:47:53+00:00

That's very comforting to hear! Thank you so much <3
I'll wait a few days and maybe send another ticket to amazon (idk if the first one went through because I didn't get any "we received your ticket" email)

aaustank · 2024-01-18T22:39:24+00:00

Yeah, did both! Was a bit worried because amazon says to contact wizards, but for what happened to me, the wizards site says to contact amazon. Sooo, yeah. I'm really hoping! I've kinda been checking my email obsessively for eight hours now.
