About a week back I ordered a non-functional copy of Chrono Trigger off eBay. Shortly after it arrived, I got to work patching broken traces. When I booted it up, to no surprise, my only option was New Game.

However, what was a surprise was that it did save! Rebooted the game and my file as still there. Evidently, the internal save battery still worked! Could it have been a defective cartridge from the start? Some copy of a twenty-seven year old game that nobody could play but didn't throw away? I don't know, but it could be possible.

Tumblr keeps popping up to sell me ad free dashboard. But what it doesn't understand is that me and the ads have a sort of symbiosis at this point.

(totk rewritten)

finally, all the arm and spirit abilities- for the first half of the game (rauru) and for the second half with the shiekah arm replacing links arms instead and the spirit abilities gained through ganondorf

(please excuse my handwriting and sometimes repeated info on the first two, i lost motivation/patience at the end and couldnt get myself to basically redo it all from scratch just to make it a bit more cleaner)

note, the camera rune is unconnected to the arm, its the shiekah stone copy link has (zelda carries the one from botw, a copy was attempted to be made for link but it lacks all runes except the camera, the map and its teleportation, and journal/archive)

note for the heal effects of some spirit abilities- im also reworking the healing system, making it more like the older games, so healing isnt as easy and much more restricted, thus making those effects of spirit abilities more valuable ( lil potion icon on the d pad will act a little bit like in skyward sword, opens your limited selection of healing items and if chosen link switches to holding it and letting you consume it with -a- while walking around in real time- to avoid more pausing and mass healing on regular items while in menu)

additional note, the automatic recharging of the magic meter depending on the environment gives you a reliable but less abusable way of using abilities and allows for even more creative dungeon/challenge design by using it effectively- it works by absorbing magic from its surroundings, so if its an area with little magic it recharges slower, if its a very spiritual or healthy place it will recharge faster, it can be used to make things more challenging and also as subtle storytelling (example, theres a graveyard with the magic energy around being off the charts, even if there are no spirits to see, it could hint at the people buried not having died peacefully, no matter what their gravestone says...)

the usage of magic and how much the different abilities cost also allows for a much more dynamic fighting style for players to choose and try out, balancing them all out with their cost instead of a fixed timer, and the recharging beign affected by the environment perhaps forcing players that favor high cost magic abilities to use the lower cost ones for example, or not being able to charge one up bc the enemy is too fast and doesnt give you enough time to charge it

about half of the small overworld dungeons (not shrines) are also locked/inaccessible for the first half and new quests appear as the second half commences- together with the additional changes raurus return brings with it (sonau buildings, enemies being mostly cosntructs that he summoned etc) and whole set of new abilities giving you a fresh new way to play while (hopefully) not making you feel too restricted for the first half

... making these detailed concepts took me longer than id like to admit q-q

God I'm so obsessed with how to solve/unlock almost all of the narrative threads in Hades it's Zagreus raising his hand and being like "have we considered being more niceys to people and talking to them with our mouth?" And everyone is like "gods you're such a dumbfuck" and he's like. So we haven't tried it then. Cool. And then he fixes basically everything around him by being niceys and talking to people with his mouth

I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see a Minecraft server whose spawn is actually nice. Where the houses and roads are well-designed and well-lit, and there aren't creeper holes left right and center. It's cool to see this game being played by a group of people who actually care about how the things around them look and who actually maintain their surroundings.

The only 2 theories I got on Mhin now is that Kuras big fat ass crash landed on Lovent and left a big crater, Mhin was an aspiring scholar at Senobium and went on an expedition and came out fucked beyond repair because it's basically Chernobyl on steroids and now Mhin's returned mad as hell that the people that were supposed to help them have closed their gates.

ORRR, the other theory being that Mhin is of Lovent descent and the few survivors left with lasting Curses.
