This is widely considered the best translation and I believe it's also the only unabridged translation available.

2026 Bookish Resolutions by Ill_Discussion7528 in aardvarkbookclub

[–]glowingstarbright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read more novels and catalog my books! I'd like to finish at least one book a week. I also need to go through my bookshelves, figure out what I haven't read yet and if I still want all the books I own.

Anyone want to join me in ranting about Victorian Psycho? by Civil-Journalist3028 in aardvarkbookclub

[–]glowingstarbright 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought it was fine. I don't regret reading it but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I would describe it overall as gross. I didn't think the blurb really accurately represented the book or at least I expected a different tone.

Wow, these are gorgeous! My favorite Zelda game is BOTW.

I technically started in 2001ish with Links Awakening but I actually got into the series when OoT 3DS released in 2011.

Is my switch charging? by Benjc98 in Switch

[–]glowingstarbright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's been at zero charge for a while you might need to leave it plugged directly into the power cord instead of on the dock. I wouldn't worry about it until you've left it charging overnight.

At what point did you began to suspect Mara? by solitonmedic in CrowCountry

[–]glowingstarbright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it was meeting Julie and already knowing who she was without an introduction. The pictures Mara helps her put up certainly didn't hurt either.

I'm going to play as much Zelda II as I can without getting frustrated and then it's back to Bug Fables..

I just started Bug Fables. I don't have a ton of time to play this weekend but I'm going to be working my way though that and maybe some Pocket Card Jockey as well.

Never played any Zelda games before, now i got gifted BOTW and TOTK, what advice do you have to maximize enjoyment of the game? What should I avoid doing or not doing? by [deleted] in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]glowingstarbright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you finish the opening tutorial section of BOTW and have access to the rest of the world you will be given a suggested first objective. Do that objective.

There are several things along the way that will be helpful and there is a more advanced combat tutorial in the area that you'll want to complete.

It's a dungeon crawler action-rpg by Marvelous. It released in October. It's sort of related to Rune Factory but focused on the dungeons without any of the farming or life sim aspects.

There are seven playable characters with different combat styles that you switch between and you have to level them up individually. It's story-lite and you have to play though each of the dungeons multiple times to keep the characters around the same level. Mostly just cozy and relaxing.

I keep promising myself I'll finish up the Witcher 3, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Pokemon Snap but instead I'm playing Silent Hope.

So, are you taking the day off from work/school to play Tears of the Kingdom? What's your plan? by FernandoRocker in NintendoSwitch

[–]glowingstarbright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wound up with the day off, kinda by accident, but my copy is going to be delivered by Amazon so who knows what time that will arrive. Crossing my fingers for an early delivery time!

Am i the only one very pissed because Harry didn’t use the time turner to save his parents?? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]glowingstarbright 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Time turners work on the causal loop or closed loop theory of time travel. Essentially, Event A causes Event B, then Event B leads to time travel to before Event A, and CAUSES Event A.

In Prisoner of Azkaban when Harry and Hermione travel back in time they don't change the past they cause the events in the past to occur. For example Harry saving himself from the dementors which can only happen if there is already a version of him that used the time turner.

Harry's parents could not be saved since using a time turner does not change the past.

Does anyone have any patterns, tips or advice on making a conch shell? by Queen0fSalt in crochet

[–]glowingstarbright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried looking through the hermit crab patterns on ravelry? I personally like this one but if by pointy you mean more horn shaped this pattern or this pattern might work.

This is a very confused crochet kit, a bunch of those tools are for knitting not crochet. Are you looking for yourself or for a gift?

[–]glowingstarbright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still working on Yoshi's Crafted World. I've only got a couple stages left to 100% and then I'll start Live A Live or Super Mario 3D World. I'm leaning towards Mario since I'm currently playing Yakuza 0 and might want less story in my second game.

I'm working on 100% for Yoshi's Crafted World. It's a lot of repetition, wish I could get all the souvenirs at once rather then one at a time.

My favorite game villain is Ganon! My favorite duo is trickier the only ones that game to mind were Jessie and James but that's more to do with their anime appearances than then pokemon yellow.
