[oos] Today I learned there’s Zelda games that actually let you play after the final boss

it’s a long standing fact that when you beat a boss in a Zelda game, you don’t get to see more than a cutscene of what comes next. you’ll usually get a completion save, maybe something like the mirror shield in minish cap, but you do not get to actually play or talk to anyone you saved.

Well, despite the oracle games being the first games I remember learning about before they released, and despite beating seasons a few years back, today on second completion (I fell off ages last time, wanted to do it right) I learned these are the exceptions!

Obviously it’s common knowledge that you can beat either game and unlock a password to transfer certain stuff and make the next act more like a sequel, but I did not know loading seasons back up i’d be able to talk to Din, see every location set to spring by default, and that they’d be all these characters with post game dialogue, to me that’s one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a Zelda game.

Seeing as I’ve went more than half my life not knowing this, and how big a fan I am of the series, I wanted to share it and bask in the coolness that is zelda games where you actually have a post boss experience of sorts.

[ALL] what’s your favourite set of items you get by beating dungeons in a game?

Specially anything that marks you beat the dungeon as is needed to progress in the game.

For me it’s the musical instruments of link’s awakening, I love both their designs and the music they make when you obtain them (heck, even the music that plays right before you pick them up)

What about you?

An item I’ve just bought has the note David, I’m a little concerned what this means

I didn’t realise when I clicked purchase, it shows up and I want to know what that could mean. Does anyone have any idea by chance?

What’s that one magic card you’ve been waiting to resolve in a game because you know it will be really fun?

I feel like we all have at least one deck with a card in it that rarely comes up, but you don’t remove it because you know the one time you draw it in a game state you can activate it will be amazing.

For me it’s [[final fortune]] in my [[wolverine, best there is deck]] I’ve had it in there over a year now and I think it’s gotten me 3rd place the one time I activated it? I just love the idea of winning a game with it, that type of swingy card design is why I love the game.

When do you think we’ll next see Elsa Bloodstone in the mcu? (If ever)

Werewolf by midnight is easily in top 5 of my favourite mcu properties, it’s so well made and oozes atmosphere. Which is why its current status of meaning absolutely nothing for the last four years is really sad.

With the current red button RDJ doom movies and x-men combo being a priority for the mcu now, I’m left wondering where it anywhere we might see Elsa Bloodstone come back?

The obvious answers being ghost rider and hopefully a midnight sons deal at some point, but is there any other options do you think? from old interviews it seems at one point Kevin had high hopes this was going to be a big part of the future of the mcu, but I worry that’s changed (and no interviewers ever ask him about it, so I’m just hear hoping to see news one day that it will get a continuation of sorts)

What do you think? We’ve been getting a lot less series of late, so I’m doubtful that’s going to be a possibility.

Genuine question, would mox amber being in precons be a problem?

So, there’s always talk about how Sol ring is too powerful for the format, and stays in because become ubiquitous to it not because it’s healthy for the game, and i got to thinking about another card that i would love to see in precons, mox amber.

It’s a fairly well known fact that cards of that value sadly will not show up in pre-cons, they say it’s because they want the product to be for beginners, and don’t want to have a chase card in them, and maybe once that was true, but now with all the exclusive new designs (some of which have yet to see reprints) I think that’s a weak argument, some of them are much more expensive than you‘d expect.

So to me, the only real argument is power level and complexity (because I know the real reason they won’t reprint it is reprint equity, but I hate that term with a burning passion and refuse to acknowledge it) It’s definitely powerful, though not necessarily broken, unlike sol ring it can effectively do nothing some of the time.

And obviously it’s very straightforward, if anything its a good way to learn about cards that can tap and not do anything because you don’t meet a requirement.

Anyway, what do you think on this?

Looking for advice as someone who orders a lot of cards that ship 2nd class

As you can see by the flair, I’m writing this because I seem to have some of these orders that have gone missing, all of them 2nd class post.

It occasionally takes a week longer than I’d expect for it to arrive, but it’s officially now the second week, and while i can try requesting a refund I have suspicions it’s not lost mail.

See, I ordered two different items from two different sellers in two different UK locations, they both shipped 2nd class within four days of each other, and if you give a few days of a grace period for them to have been picked up, that’s still 12 days ago.

But we receive a lot less mail now, in fact I think it’s only once a week? I’m hoping they show up tomorrow because we last received mail last Wednesday, is that possible?

My main concern is this seems to be getting worse, and with the amount of these I order in a year, I can’t really afford to be paying 1st class on any that aren’t at least £20. If I’m now potentially having to wait the better part of a month, I’m not sure what options I have.

Why do you think fabled passage has a gold/yellow border but evolving wilds has a colourless one?

This occurred to me the other day when the elf land in the hobbit got its first preview when that very set, hobbit hole is also available with a similar effect, but is colourless in frame.

The only difference I can think of is that sometimes the gold ones can get an untapped basic? But that still doesn’t make much sense when you consider theres plenty of gold lands that come in tapped without an option to untap them. Does anyone have any theories?

Trying to apply cheat fix for camera issue in yugioh Duelist of the roses

Here’s the situation, my copy of the game is a Europe pal version, it works fine but like the US version suffers from an emulation bug with the camera. I’m on version 1.6 of the emulator, I tried to install the newest one and it told me my computer is too old and to upgrade (obviously I can’t do that)

from looking online, I found a solution for the US version of the game which is this cheat:

// Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelist of the Roses NTSC-U
// fix for the zoom bug
patch=1,EE,D1FE04F0,extended,00000000
patch=1,EE,21FE04F0,extended,B727C5AC

but having tried it and followed several guides to make sure I was naming the cheat file correctly, this does not work, I’m guessing because the pal version needs a different “cheat”

I’ve tried figuring out how to do that and I simply do not have a clue what I’m doing here, I don’t know if anyone can help me, but I wanted to ask just in case.

this page details the bug in question:

One thing I’ve always wondered, what was pegasus’s plan if Yugi never made it to the finals of duelist kingdom?

Forgive my naivety with the manga, I never got very far through the duelist kingdom manga arc, so I don’t know if that’s covered there.

But to me it never made much sense, Pegasus needed to win a shadow game to take true possession over the puzzle, yet he kept throwing obstacles in Yugi’s way (the tournament and the Kaiba duel) what was he going to do if yugi didn’t qualify? just hope he knocks on the door and challenges him to a game? Without that game and the puzzle, Pegasus loses all the same, it seems baffling to me.

Unrelatable problem, trying to replicate Nino’s fingernail paint in Skyrim has been trouble

For context, I’m (very slowly) working on a quintessential quintuplets mod for Skyrim, and had the silly idea to try doing nail polish for Nino, so far it’s proven tricky.

I‘ll keep it simple because I‘m sure most of you won’t know too much about modding Skyrim, there‘s two elements to making this, the colours of the nails themselves, and the model they show up on.

The model is the most difficult part i‘ve yet to fully delve into, suffice it to say, you normally can’t just change the nails, you have to change the whole hands, changing that so far seems tricky at best, impossible for me at worst.

The colour though has also proven difficult. What I’m doing is taking the texture that has all the colour for the hands (including nails) zoomed in and tried applying the pink and blue that compose her nails one pixel at a time in a graphics editor, but it isn’t smooth, each pixel that comprises the nails is also attached to a finger, and trying to accurately colour the pixels and do so properly is making me question if it’s going to ever look right.

Not to mention after two hours i’ve just realised the colours are too bright, goodness knows how I’ll fix that.

Just know that I will eventually finish this mod, I’ll give each quintuplet just as much love, and maybe a little more. I can’t promise it will look professional, or be the best mod someone could do for them, but I’m going to throw everything I’ve learned over the years about modding skyrim and this lovely series together, and share it with anyone who wishes to try it.

This is a stumbling block, one I’ve yet to find a solution to, but I won’t let it be the end!

Allow me to leave you with a taste of what this mod will do, imagine you start the game for the first time, are offered with a choice of a quintuplet, you choose Itsuki, now every food item in the game offers special bonuses when you eat it, and you’re experience gain for all skills increases to match your determination to study, that along with the visuals I can muster is what I’m going for.

wish me luck, friends… tomorrow I go back in.

Trying to find a Bethesda.net author to ask about permissions (tt38756 is their name)

I’m having a really hard time since bethesda has 0 ways to contact an author! it’s kind of ridiculous.

the user goes by tt38756 on Bethesda, but not on nexus, I wanted to ask if they’d be at all willing to let me use their painted nails mod, as none of the others I found on nexus have the right permissions/work for xbox.

Is there any other way to go about this?

Looking for nail polish resource I can use for a mod I’m making

Essentially, I want to make a mod for the Xbox that includes nail polish for vanilla hands, and if possible would like to see if there’s any open permission mods that do this already that I can use to make mine.

I‘ve looked around, and all of the ones i’ve seen on nexus either don’t allow uploading onto other sites for the files (a requirement for Xbox mods) or are intended to be used with a specific body mod already installed, if anyone can link me to anything that would be amazing.

The current non competitive brawl queue needs more work I fear

I find brawl to be both the most enjoyable and most awful way to play arena simultaneously, of late I’ve noticed the queue times have tripled, I’m averaging 40 seconds for every game (sometimes I get one within 20 seconds, but a lot have been hitting the minute mark) and whatever system they’re using to determine matchups feels a little off.

Take today for example, I’ve been playing X-23, a mono green uncommon 3/3 for 3 that gives herself a plus one as well as any mutant when you play one, she’s fair if not potent at times, nothing that wins the game outright though.

Today I’ve been matched with Vivi, shrine decks, Ralph and Leo into GG turn 5, and it’s just been a very frustrating experience, it’s much the same with other decks I have on the weaker side, heck I have a vanilla commander from aetherdrift and I’ve face my fair share of shrine decks with it (they’re one of those decks that always plays the same and just snowballs, aka boring to see)

I won‘t pretend I have the solution, and while I suspect the competitive queue might have had an impact on the casual queue times going up, I can’t prove it, but i want to hear from everyone else who plays brawl a lot, what have your experiences been of late? What’s your advice on this? Because i really do enjoy the format.

I hope this doesn’t violate rule 4, it’s a topic I feel passionate about, but I’m not simply trying to vent, I want to talk about a format that I play a lot and some of the things I think have gotten worse in the past few weeks.

How I managed to enchant my own staff with a few glitches (Xbox) and why you probably won’t want to

Buckle in, this one’s wild.

I remembered reading online years back of a glitch, where if you wanted you could enchant the unfinished staff from the mages guild quest, and it would act like a melee weapon, but whenever I looked online, everything on this was at best, hearsay.

Well, today I bust the myth, it is possible on consoles even! And here’s why you probably won’t do it.

First, the big one, the staff you enchant at the end of this? Won’t keep the enchantment, it forgets it every time you load the save. The best solution I could come up with for this is you can keep lots of Sigil stones on you and keep it enchanted that way.

So, how does this work? Well on pc you can just spawn the staff in and enchant it, but us console players aren’t so lucky. You can’t enchant a quest item marked as a quest item, so you need to first finish the mages staff quest, which means you need to obtain a duplicate.

That sounds easy enough, after all; the remaster clone glitch works on this staff (it’s first obtained in a container, so you can withdraw any amount) but if you bring more than one staff to the person who finishes the quest for you, he will not take one and the quest becomes bugged (same issue people had with the necromancer amulet)

So, since you can’t deposit a quest item, and the evidence lockers in prisons don’t let you pick what items you withdraw, your only option is the skull of corruption.

Back in the day, if you wanted certain items to be cloned, you used the skull of corruption, by having an npc hit you with it, you’d get a clone of yourself. To actually loot the clone though, is a little tricky.

Firstly, it took me ages to find a npc who could pick the staff up, because it’s really hard to disarm an npc unlike in OG oblivion (thanks to a change with disintegrated weapons) it got so bad I tried using the Risen flesh power from shivering isle (much harder to get than I remembered) to bring back a corpse which i‘d give the staff to prior, but they simply would never agro me no matter what i tried.

So in the end, i remembered outside skingrad there’s a dark elf who’s always unarmed and standing around, I realised i could frenzy her, and if i had dropped the staff first, she’d pick it up, it took a few tries but she eventually made a clone of me.

But that was only half the battle, the real challenge was making it permanent. To do that, there’s three important factors, one the clone must spawn in an interior, two, the person who makes the clone must die before the skull of corruption timer wears off, and three you must leave the location where the clone was made before that timer wears off.

I didn’t know all this, i learned it from trail and error, it sucked. I found a cave nearby to the dark elf, i quickly learned I needed to clear it out. I fenzy’d her without dropping the staff, I ran to the cave and got her to follow, when I saw she was in the cave with me I saved the game. waited for the fenzy to wear off (or she won’t pick up the staff) I dropped the staff, frenzy’d her, let her pick the staff up and eventually create a clone of me.

Once I dealt the finishing blow on the elf, I ran out the cave, I learned that without doing this the clone that followed me out would always disappear.

It‘s important you don’t kill the clone, because it will trigger you to commit a crime that expels you from any guilds, so I lured her to some goblins, and she eventually died thanks to invisibility on my part.

At this point i saved again, i tried getting back the staff of corruption only to learn that entering the cave where the clone had spawned would without fail despawn the dead clone! It’s like its soul was bound to the cave.

Once I saw the clone had the unfinished staff, I did not pick it up, I left a marker and fast traveled to turn in the quest, got the person to make me a staff, waited the 24 hours to pick it up so the quest was gone from my list entirely, then went back to the clone body.

I won’t lie, I was overjoyed not when I withdrew the staff, but when the game actually confirmed I could drop it, quest items can be finicky, I wasn’t even sure it would clear as a quest item even now, it did.

So a ton of work, and the staff when it hits something as you can see isn’t that impressive, no amazing sound effect, no interesting visual, but it definitely does damage, because shortly after the video I recorded ended, the npc died from the fire enchantment, so there’s that.

Now, I’d be remised if I didn’t give you some easier alternatives to do this, note that I have not tested them, and thusly can’t vouch for them personally.

Firstly, if you don’t mind the level 100 mysticism requirement, you can make a reflect spell on target/touch spell, hit them with the staff of corruption and have it reflect it to you.

Or, you could do the staff of the everscamp quest, but instead of dropping the staff for the quest, when it tell you that you can now discard the staff, simply store it in a container instead, once the quest is finished, come back for it and enchant that instead.

The reason I didn‘t do the Everscamp method, is the staff has some quirks, firstly i didn‘t like it visually, the second reason is the staff if ever dropped, won‘t let you pick it up due to it’s unique properties.

Anyway, thats my job done, the mystery of the mages staff has well and truly been solved and documented, now I rest.

Xbox player here, any secret way to store a quest item?

The tldr of it is I wanted a duplicate of the unfinished staff, but when I obtain more than 1 of it I can’t turn it in for the quest, so I was wondering if there’s a way to store them so I can take just the one I need to beat the quest, then pick the others up later.

Trying to do a glitch to clone the unfinished staff quest item and I can’t turn it in, looking for help

Here’s the rundown:

When doing the mages guild questline you get access to an item called unfinished staff.

If you can make it a non quest item, you can enchant it and use it like a staff that has 0 range, a unique item.

I wanted to clone it so that I could turn one in, finish the quest and then have one I can enchant.

When I clone it, and try to turn the staff in, the person will not offer the dialogue to accept the staff, I believe because i carry multiple.

I thought I could get myself locked up and retrieve just one from the evidence locker, but doing so didn‘t let me take one item but forced them all on me, and all the staffs were oddly gone.

I have saved before performing the glitch, so I can try different things.

Can anyone help perhaps? I’m open to suggestions, though I don’t have access to the animate dead clone trick, only the duplicate based on how many items you have inventory glitch.

[TOMT] looking for a movie that features a teenage/college girl and an English teacher.

I’ve tried everything I can think of to find this movie to no avail, I’ll go over every single detail I can recall, and please note it is definitely not my first mister.

The main character is a young girl, I want to say high school age, but I just can’t say confidently, she could be slightly older.

The second central character is a older man who used to be her teacher, the two accidentally meet in a shopping mall, and have an exchange where he judges her for her poor behaviour, and she likewise doesn’t care for him. I have a memory of this happening near an escalator, and him having grey or white hair, but i can’t say confidently.

It might happen in this very scene, or later in the movie, but he falls ill, I believe she witnesses it. he ends up in a care facility, it could be a hospital or old persons home, the impression I get is he didn’t have anyone else to go see him, so she does.

Eventually she warms up to him as she learns more about him, he recommends her a book and to her surprise she really enjoys it. I think these exchanges change her life, she ends up finding what she wants to do in life because of this.

I recall her getting really emotional around him, perhaps because he’s terminally ill, to the best of my memory, these scenes play out in the same care facility in his own private room, i believe he dies off screen near the end of the movie.

Thats all I remember, based on that, I think the tone is at least partly a drama, but one aimed and 13-16 year olds if that makes sense? I think I had to have watched it in the mid 2000’s, I want to say it felt like it was set around 1999-2005, but don’t hold me to those years.

I can’t say whether this movie was one that ever got a cinema showing, or was just a Disney channel movie or it’s ilk, but either is possible.

And lastly, I want to emphasise there was no romantic feelings between these two characters whatsoever, I know from research a few movies that come up when looking for this one do, but I’m certain it doesn’t.
