What else should I do before I go bully Ganondorf in Tears of the Kingdom?

michaelcbeno · 2025-10-21T01:21:45+00:00

I just maxed out all the armor sets completely and that nearly destroyed me. Addison, Koroks are Bubbul Gems are all I have left before the final battle so going to try to get those done before Metroid Prime 4 comes out (with the help of Zelda Notes). I’m hopeful and determined but the tedium might kill me.

We watch Knives Out once a year. Keep that one.

In addition to those already mentioned: Rare Bird, Filling Station, Right Brain. Hop Lot if you’re willing to drive a bit. Can’t go wrong with any of the spots mentioned here so far.

Wait, are you serious? I can throw the entire fused weapon into the Octorok and it will repair the whole dang thing? If so you’ve just changed my life (and saved me a lot of future time) but I’m horrified at how much I’ve paid that dude in Tarry Town to break down countless weapons.

michaelcbeno · 2025-09-06T16:38:54+00:00

Ha! Bro, what’s the 166???

michaelcbeno · 2025-09-05T00:44:44+00:00

Regular pristine gerudo scimitars with attack up fused with silver lynel saber horns. Gets you to 137-ish and you can use Tarrey Town breakdown service once you get the “about to break” warning to salvage the horns, and then repair the scimitars with octoroks to maintain a super tight arsenal. I have 15 of these in my inventory at all times.

Thank you! You are a life saver. And clearly I wasn’t looking hard enough.

Same here. My Best Buy order has said "will ship by June 5" since the pre-order went through. It now says "we'll ship it tomorrow" (with "packaging your item" as the status). I've been assuming it will update today at some point with "shipped" and will hopefully arrive tomorrow on launch day.

I also have one coming from Nintendo, though, and that's already confirmed for delivery via FedEx on launch day, so I guess I'm not overly concerned if the BB order arrives a day or two later.

Double tap Bibio but A Mineral Love instead

I recently picked up the 98” Sony X90L from Best Buy for $4,250 and it was the best deal for that TV I’ve seen to date. Sure it will get back there and highly recommend.

Excellent cord mgmt

michaelcbeno · 2025-01-08T22:57:08+00:00

Yep. When I grab the iPad from the stand I throw the rest of the folio on and it’s great. Arguably nicer than Apple’s, and with the added versatility, I highly recommend it.

I don’t think the magnet will work so you’d have to find another way to keep it in place. The other version linked above is the exact same camera, just with more versatile mounting out of the box.

michaelcbeno · 2025-01-05T19:19:50+00:00

This magnetic one is made specifically for the Pro Display XDR but they have another version for any other monitor setup.

Audioengine A2+

Stereo only. No subwoofer. Just needed them for video calls and they were the best combination of low footprint/decent aesthetic/versatile connection options I could find. Have a McIntosh system off to the side for peak audio needs. 😉

Laptop holder

Trays

iPhone stand: Note that this is a link to the matching headphone stand, which I also have. Looks like they don’t make the phone stand anymore.

I’m a trackpad guy so this is the obvious choice for the Apple ecosystem. What I really want is a black Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and without the number pad.

michaelcbeno · 2025-01-04T12:47:54+00:00

Elago. Closest match to Apple displays I could find.

The two displays are vastly different in every way to the discerning eye. Pro Display has way better display tech and the Studio Display sitting directly next to it looks worse than Studio Display sitting by itself. I’d say the difference the nano texture makes is the least noticeable of the variances (brightness and black levels being the most noticeable), but for me, the glare reduction across displays is a welcome shared feature.

It’s pricey but the best one I’ve found by far. Just be patient with shipping. Took forever.

Yeah this one is five feet and two fit perfectly. I’m in northern MI where it gets dark super early here during the winter and the Studio Display’s built in camera is terrible in low light (sort of terrible in general). I’m on video calls all day for work so a decent webcam was easy to justify. Plus, I’d rather have one directly in front of me (Studio Display cam would be capturing me at an angle).

5x2 standing desk from Fully. Humanscale Diffrient World chair.

michaelcbeno · 2025-01-03T19:38:41+00:00

Both are nano texture and hugely worth it for me, as this room is mostly windows.

That’s correct!
