Mastery #74 - Donkey Kong Country 3

Mastery #74 - Donkey Kong Country 3

Finally redeemed my childhood!

Never beat this game as a kid and wanted to prove to myself that I don't suck too much at platformers (didn't succeed with that).

Decided to go for hardmode from the start which was quite a pain, but didn't want to play through the game three times.

After finishing it the speedrun was rather easy, the only achievements that gave me trouble were

Turquoise Tidbit Triumph because of the last few meters and Feathery Fellowship Forfeit because I had no idea how people did the first jump.

Glad to have revisited the game, still not a fan of plattformers :)

Question about Oracle of Seasons/Ages sets

Just finished my first playthrough of the first game (started with Seasons) with minimum hearts and no damage everything.
Then started Ages with the password from seasons.

I try to follow https://github.com/RetroAchievements/guides/wiki/Legend-of-Zelda,-The-%E2%80%90-Oracle-of-Ages-and-Oracle-of-Seasons-(GBC) but get confused sometimes, because of the swapped games.

When I get a secret now in Ages am I supposed to immediately go back to my finished Seasons game and use the secret, get the corresponding secret and use it in ages?

Sets that require "gimmicks"?

Just started my journey through the two Zelda GBC Games Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages.

To master one set you need to play through the other game, too, so mastering one kinda gives you a second mastery, which imho is a fun novelty.

Are there any other sets that require gimmicks, multiple games, etc. you had fun with?

Question about the manual unlock process

Tried to get 3 achievements unlocked a week ago using the discord channel, but haven't heard anything/didn't get the unlock yet.
How long does it usually take and is there any feedback on the request? Not sure if more proof is needed or I just need to do the achievements again.

Tried to include everything via the readme, but not sure if I made a mistake or if the process just takes a while there :)

PnP Blood on the Clocktower?

We have an upcoming event and I would love to introduce the people to social deduction games. After a bit of searching around and discussing we found Blood on the Clocktower to be the most appealing.

Sadly it is impossible to get a copy here, especially in the short time we have left until our meetup.

So far I found http://bignose.whitetree.org/projects/botc/diy/ which looks promising. Has anyone tried this and can confirm that it is all I need?
Or are there better alternatives for an in person group?

Trouble with Mould King 21004 UCS Super Star Destroyer

Got the chance to help a friend with his build and basically went through the second half of the build on my own.
The only parts that are left are the big wings on top
Random video showing the part: https://youtu.be/kalMcZ4caCA?t=273

My problem is that these wings won't hold together at all. The culprit are those big plates https://imgur.com/a/y7YhM6F
While all parts are flat on their own, putting them together isn't possible.
I think they are a tad too small. Even hammering them down doesn't help and they bump out of their corresponding studs.

I found an older post with the same problem suggesting the hammer tool and glue, but hoping for other suggestions as I don't want to glue them together (without permission of the owner).

Does anyone else found another fix for it or something I can try?

I'm losing my mind over this. Playing a GBC game I have to use Start+Select to save. The default hotkey for this is to close the game.

  1. Opening the RetroArch menu when the game is active for some reason doesn't recognize the A button as "OK" so I have to use the touchscreen.
  2. I tried deleting the hotkey, tried deleting the override and save it in the main config AND also create a new override with the hotkey removed. Nothing seems to work, the game still gets closed when I push Start+Select
