Since I’m dreading the side quest stuff, I’m thinking of just getting a complete save file so I can check out the final boss fight. Since I beat it as a kid, I don’t feel bad about cheating to get to it.

I’ll look up the quality of life changes. One random thing that I really struggled with was the music. I think it was partly due to the way it’s mapped on the switche and the “a” button is low on the music scales but high on the switch controller.

I’m going to play that port on my switch. I’ll get it setup tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to it.

I really loved oot, I can’t imagine the amount of hours I spent playing it. I’m looking forward to giving that another go. In fact, I’ll probably start tomorrow.

I only used a guide to help me get past random parts that I could not figure out. The game is decently cryptic. I don’t even have a full row of hearts and I don’t think I’ve really seen any heart pieces the way you would in other Zelda games.

Getting the golden sword, or whatever it is called, was annoying. I had to fight the boss a second time to thaw the snow again to do the race.

I’m not even sure it’s possible to get that sword and only fight the boss once. Since you need to leave the razor sword to be upgraded.

I ended up fighting that boss three times, the first and third time were super easy, but the second attempt had bad rng and I died pretty quickly.

I also had to go and get the moons tear twice for something. It just felt like this big chore. After that, I kind of just pushed myself to finish the game, but I’m too burned out.

That’s a really informative graph. I just converted a bunch of images from png to jpg. I’ll try to convert to this tomorrow. Im curious about the size difference.

Thanks for the info!! This is really good to know.

This is the first I’m hearing of jpeg-xl what are some of its advantages? I thought everything was moving to av1.

It wouldn’t be bad if it were more of a computer replacement. Than a smart phone replacement. Today, I was extremely cramped with screen space and this headset would have been great! But I’ll just buy a bigger desk and a laptop stand for like 5% the cost.

I really don’t. I wear glasses and I can’t imagine a system where it’s comfortable to wear both. If my glasses could be replaced by “smart” glasses, then I’d give it a go, but not if they are going to basically be a headset that looks like glasses.
