Screenshot Showcase - Off Topic Edition

[Terra B Welch]

Sharing some screenshots from a new wind waker randomizer seed I started today.

Starting off with getting this RNGfest of a minigame out of the way.

Sadly none of the checks were good. But hey, getting all 3 checks from this in 4 attempts felt nice.

And now for a series of checks that had items of interest starting with Windfall and its many checks.

First the house of wealth chest had Earth God's Lyric.

next, tingle's first gift was a triforce shard.

then catching the killer bees got me a quiver upgrade, although I've no bow to use it.

Ms. Marie follows up with a Pictobox, which means more windfall checks!

Getting ol' Lenso some pictures(like a creep) got me the Delivery Bag, which means even more windfall checks!

After doing all the possible windfall checks I could I headed to outset and did some checks there, only item of note was in the grass cutter's house, he was holding out on me! So I stole his skull hammer!

Heading westward to Horseshoe Island I checked the platforms and got a couple things, a triforce shard and the other quiver upgrade.(Still no bow REEE)

I warped back to Windfall Island, and headed eastward to check pawprint isle, the platform had another triforce shard.

I also checked the cave, as I am playing with randomized cave entrances, the pawprint isle chu cave entrance actually lead to cliff plateau cave. The one chest in there contained Farore's Pearl.

After a little more checking around(namely crescent island) I warped to greatfish isle and proceeded to go to western fairy island, stopping by the rock spire isle shop along the way... aaaaand now I am mad. >.<

Look at this guy holding me out on the hookshot! for 950 rupees too! HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!!

As for my last check that gave something important, heres the western fairy island great fairy giving me the wind god's aria.

And that's all for this Wind Waker randomizer session! I'll make more posts on this as I go through it.

Found out dolphin has a screenshot key so here we go. MORE pics I took of wind waker rando.

starting off with bomb island submarine having a tingle statue.

headed over to thorned fairy island and got the ghost ship chart from the great fairy there.

went up to star belt archipelago and looted the platform there, it had the Iron Boots.

Then looted the platform at fire mountain, it had a triforce shard.

I then warped to windfall, checked northern fairy island then went over to loot the platform at star island, it had the bait bag.

I then warped to outset and went to headstone island, looting the submarine there got me a bottle.

a few checks later, I went to the Ghost Ship which was at spectacle island(west of windfall), I looted it and got a much needed wallet upgrade, time to save up for that hookshot!

The second prize at the barrel shooting game at spectacle island was a triforce shard, so I had to do that.

Using the bait bag, I blew up the rock with the chest on it at dragon roost, by using a seagull to run into the bomb flowers, the chest had another triforce shard.

Got the letter from grandma(healed her with a fairy after getting the bottle earlier) and it got me a bomb bag upgrade, but I don't have the bombs yet so it's currently useless.

A few checks later, I go to six eye reef and enter the submarine, had a little fun slashing the butts of the moblins and watching them hop around in pain. Hehe!

Moblin be like "OW MY BUTT OW MY BUTT OW MY BUTT"

A bit of moblin butt slashing later I am rewarded with the boomerang from the chest!

Lastly I get the hurricane spin from defeating the enemies on the platform at cyclops reef.

That's all for now, I'll add more to this as I go through this seed!

Switching to the Lothric Knight Straight Sword has done me so much good:

And finally, progressing closer to the Nameless King:

[Terra B Welch]

Alrighty, so I have another series of pics from wind waker rando, all kinds of checks being done.

So Bird's Peak Rock cave ended up being bomb island cave, the chest at the end contained maggie's letter.

After turning it in and watching a cranky old rich fart yell at the postman, I met the postman at the cafe and he gave me double magic.

I then grinded for rupees via the cave I found at shark island and proceeded to purchase the overpriced hookshot.

I venture next to the three platforms at seven star isles, the first chest had the note to mom, the third chest had a wallet upgrade. The second had nothing of importance so no pic of that.

With my hookshot I also went to diamond steppe isle where its cave ended up being the cabana labyrinth, the end chest had another triforce shard.

Also got a letter back from said "Mom" and she gave me the heros charm.

Went to overlook island next, the cave ended up being stone watcher cave, nothing good as the reward sadly but I got to slash more moblin butts!

I then proceeded to complete the goron trade quest(the one with the flowers and statues), trading in the shop guru statue got me the spoils bag.

Turning in a joy pendant got me the moblin's letter. Sadly turning it in to maggie got me nothing of importance.

Went to boating course next, the cave there lead to the pawprint chu cave, checked the one chest I could access and it had the Deku Leaf.

I had 15 blue chu jelly at this point, so I turned them in, it's fun watching the guy blow himself up doing alchemy.

Oh and he gave me magic armor for those jellies.

Went to dragon roost cavern, a couple times actually, this is the 2nd run, the first had some keys, the compass and some money, so nothing big, but the second visit yielded some better stuff.

The left chest before the boss door had nayru's pearl.

And the destructable bridge room with the two bokoblins(reached with deku leaf) got me the mirror shield.

Warping over to southern fairy island I destroy the canons and glide over to the platform with both chests, got the deluxe picto box and the cabana deed.

Running out of checks, I head over to rock spire again to take out the platforms and loot the chests, items of importance here are my last triforce shard from the middle one, and din's pearl from the east one, I had forgotten to screenshot din's pearl. Sorry...

With the full triforce I could access hyrule for one check, the darknut fight in the master sword chamber. Which was a long fight but thanks to lucky helm splitters and the boomerang I managed to kill both of them with my dingy hero's sword, the chest had the power bracelets.

I end this off with taking ol' big chungus pig for a walk, he dug up a treasure chart and the great fairy on outset(my last check for now) just gave rupees. So nothing of importance.

Still wondering where that grappling hook is btw. >.>

[Terra B Welch]

More randomizer stuff, played it a bunch today.

Starting off with returning to the pawprint chu cave at boating course, one of the chests behind a rock I got past with the power bracelets yielded me the command melody, progress! The other chest contained a bottle.

Off to the wind temple!

First chest in wind temple and BAM! Hero's bow!

Chest at the top of the main lobby room had tingle's chart, this is to show that not everything I find is useful, but I decided to share the special charts.

Wizzrobe miniboss room had the master sword, at last a sword upgrade! Oh and pronoun hack says hi. LOL

Anywho, didnt get anything of note from the rest of wind temple but I killed molgera anywho.

I go check bomb island via power bracelets, its entrance led to ice ring isle cave, which had another useless chart sadly.

Many checks later, I was stuck with only two checks, one was the overlook island cave(which was at star island) and the other was shark cave(which was at stone watcher island), I had some friends vote on which one I should go to while I ate dinner. Shark cave won the vote, and good thing too, cause look what it had after I went through all the enemy spam it had to offer.

FINALLY! The grappling hook at last! With that checks open up like a can of wildfire! This item is one of the biggest items in rando for checks, it's also needed to beat the run! Good thing I found it!

Onward to grappling hook related checks, I turn in certain spoil quests as the logic requires grappling hook for them, the skull necklace one got me a tingle statue, nothing major here.

One thing the grappling hook is useful for is getting sunken chests, the ones tied to treasure charts are randomized, this treasure chart led me to the tower of the gods, where the bombs awaited at the bottom of the sea!

Took a trip south to the private oasis, killed the big octo there and got another tingle statue.

Also those bombs I got caused me to get a letter from beetle advertising bombs, which ironically gave me my other bomb bag upgrade. Man beetle must really want me to buy bombs.

I went to forsaken fortress next, picking up a few sunken chests from islands on the way there, nothing major sadly.
Forsaken fortress didnt have anything of note either, but I at least got to play tennis with phantom ganon. I used a bottle cause memes.

A few checks later I find myself at forest haven, I pick up a heart piece from the deku leaf spot, then head to the lone chest where you leaf glide to it, and guess what, it had the fire+ice arrows! Progress!

A bit more sunken chest salvaging, I believe this one was at outset, but anywho, another bottle! I also got beetles chart from horseshoe's sunken chest.

I went back to clean out overlook cave now that I had both bombs and ice arrows for some quick kills on the enemies there. All it had was another tingle statue.

A bit more sailing around, doing checks, nothing much happening, most checks were heart pieces, rupees or useless spoils, mainly grabbing more sunken chests, but I also full cleared the tower of the gods, which was also a bust. I screenshotted a couple more of the unique(yet useless) charts, but nothing much happened.

But just as I was done playing for today, I went back to the ice ring isle cave that was at bomb island, went down to the inner cave area and beat the enemies, checking the chest reveals progress! In the form of the light arrow!

All that remains now is two more sword upgrades, and I still have alot to search, I have all of forbidden woods still and most of earth temple, not to mention all the reefs and a bunch more sunken chests. Heres what the tracker is at now.

EDIT: Also have to note, I forgot to mark the boss key for tower of the gods on the tracker. If anyone asks.

[minespatch]

More Merge Dragons screenshots.

Yes that's Rick from Rick and Morty. The company did a cross promotion, hence the dragon episode. They had a year of the rat event as well but you can see the rat map on the reddit page if you're curious.

[Terra B Welch]

And now, my most recent wind waker randomizer playthrough comes to a close.

It started with some checks, digging up sunken chests, clearing out some dungeons, getting general junk...

Neddle Rock Isle chest was the tingle tuner, not useful.

Checked forbidden woods, a useless chart, and of course junk.

I did however get 20 golden feathers from going through forbidden woods, and turning those in got me one of the two sword upgrades I needed for go mode(from the resulting letter), one down one to go.

I started looting more sunken chests, taking out reefs, clearing isle of steel, stuff like that. Nothing much to note, a few charts, a coupon...

but then one fateful triforce chart, triforce chart 2, led me to the sunken chest of fire mountain, where my final item lies.

Bingo, with my final sword upgrade, I have everything required to beat this run, GO MODE TIME!

I head to hyrule, and proceed to go to fight ganon.

Badass cheerleader anyone? XD

and then the barrier shatters.

I proceed through ganon's tower, randomizer doesn't require the refights.

I go kill phantom ganon, having light arrows triggers him to spawn in the room, so I didnt have to do the maze.

and I make my way up the final set of stairs to ganon, getting one final moblin butt slash in the process.

I have a rather sloppy puppet ganon fight, but get through the three forms nonetheless. I was more then prepared for this fight. Way too many heart containers plus I had 2 blue potions and elixir soup.

I climb to the top, ready for the final battle.

And then I stab ganondorf right in his face with the master sword, ending this run!

Final stats on the file select.

and heres the final tracker.

If anyone wants to look at it, Heres a link to the spoiler log.

 

[minespatch]

Got this ad in my game.

[GetNerfedOn]

I switched to the Moonlight Greatsword, fully upgraded it, and proceeded to wreak havoc on Anor Londo Knights and the Dragonslayer armor, which i beat in two tries.

And then came my third stumbling block, which took two days to resolve: The nameless king.

I tried rolling. It didn't work because i rolled into his attacks.

So it was that i tried shielding once more, and the Lothric Knight Shield, which had saved me early in the game so many times after i first got it out of sheer luck from the Lothric Knights near Emma, which had saved me in the Abyss Watchers, Pontiff Sulyvahn, Aldrich and Dancer of the Boreal Valley fights, showed just how much a badass shield it was. It will forever be the item which i shall hold with special remembrance in my heart.

I've still yet to find a weapon I like though. Greatswords are starting to get clunky to me.

[minespatch]

Decided to play "No players online" and found it to be disappointing. Big thanks to Nitrorad figuring out how the ending works.

[DragonMage156]

Looks strikingly similar >->

[minespatch]

There should be information online about stolen game assets. Really curious...

[DragonMage156]

Some of the folks on Discord said it's most likely a store brought asset so they're good.

[Terra B Welch]

Been working on a project in the form of my own little minecraft modpack. Decided for the lols to use a gladiator wendy skin cause why not have a 10 year old girl running around the world stealing treasure and killing giant fire breathing lizards? >.>

Anywho, heres some pictures, one of me using the paraglider, a couple involving me cheesing a stage 5 dragon and one of me after having made armor out of its scales and reforging it all to masterful quality.

Also I love the betweenlands valonite shield. my favorite shield out of every shield I've seen in MC mods.

[Terra B Welch]

"Hurr durr I is durgun."

[Terra B Welch]

Felt like sharing a little house build I did in the betweenlands.

I do like how it turned out. Some pics of the inside.

I've also been setting up dimensional doors in places.

They lead to a dimensional nexus.

Heres the WIP nexus, I have most the doors done. The iron doors go to different dimensions, the quartz door leaves the nexus back to the last quartz door I entered in. There is also an extra iron door that will lead to my eventual pocket dimension base.

As an added extra, here is a little house I built in the midnight as spot for my dimensional doors there.
Sorry it's so purple, I forgot I left my night vision on. DERP! That's the dragon's eye bauble for you!(Really it has a key to turn off the night vision I just forgot to use it like a dumbo)

I finally got around to downloading and playing SCP - Containment Breach. My first run from start to finish only took an hour and 45 minutes. It would probably be lower if I wasn't locked at 10-15 FPS.

I only died twice. Once to 173. And once to a surprise MTF squad behind a door.

 

I decided to chat with 035 because, well it's' 035. While he's saying his goodbyes 049 materializes out of thin air and walks past the windows, into the corner to... stare at the wall. That was probably the closest to being spooked I was playing the game. It's hard to be scared of a game you've been familiar with for years now. If anything, this made me chuckle after the surprise.

Earlier in the run, I actually had 049 spawn in front of my face in a room I just went into, but I successfully juked him on my first try.
 

So I'm moments away from the end screen. Do you know what this calls for?

Some coffee.




@GetNerfedOn how was your first run? ,':^)

@GetNerfedOn how was your first run? ,':^)

It took over four days, and each night I slept, I'd wake up a few minutes later, after having my neck broken by 173 in my sleep, sleep again, and wake up to 106/049 pursing me, ad infinitum.

At first i thought playing on Euclid was fine, and it took me fifteen minutes to get past the first cutscene because I assumed the doors were still closed and therefore thought that fleeing from 173 in its room was the course of action to take.

The first day was spent changing difficulty to Safe, dying via trial and error, and hanging out getting Mastercards in 914's chamber until 106 showed up. I managed to snag an S-Nav Ultimate which saved my life so many times.

The next two days were spent mostly running away from 106, with encounters with 049 and 173 interspersed. This was because I forcibly entered Heavy Containment via Pocket Dimension. I recontained 008 first thing, then got a better keycard, willingly let 035 free, and got the necessary keycards to access Light Containment. Then I committed Femur Breaker.

Finally, day four was spent dying over and over again because I saved in the door near Gate A before I found out I had to go to 079 to open it. For some reason, every time I spawned, 049 would spawn right in front of me. Then I kept dying to 173 in the server rooms in Entrance Zone. Finally, I managed to get my ass to both Gate A and B from a save. My rush to Gate B was memorable because I had to sneak past 096, an instance of 966, and outran 049 as well.

Another highlight was entering 939's containment area, spotting an instance, and hiding in a corner, only to see it creep slowly towards me... look at me ever so slowly... and then pounce on me ravenously.

[Canis]

Something I forgot to mention, when I reached 106's chamber, I activated the femur breaker and then turning off the sound afterwards (on purpose) since the game was going so smoothly I didn't feel the need to contain 106 just yet. Maybe I'm a Class D for a reason...

Fun fact: Did you know that 049 sometimes chills up on catwalks in LCZ?

[minespatch]

On Instagram, I was recommended the game Identity V on mobile. It's surprisingly cinematic. People describe it as "tim burton" but it reminds me of Henry Sellick's Coralina.

Also, a silly animation of a dangling lil' guy in Mergical. Cause I'm cruel.

[minespatch]

Mergical is now doing ad watching prizes, so I'm looking forward to evolve my cute robot dude.

[minespatch]

I played two single player games recently. First one was Showdown Bandit. My laptop finally remembered it could play unity games, so I got to finally see what this game was about.

Got to unlock the Bendy and skeleton skins. Doc Carver might be my favorite character annnnnnnnnnnnnd... Araknits are pretty creepy.

Just like Kingdom Hearts, the game will let you play cutscenes with skins. That's fun.

Due to the game not allowing me to use the windows key to let me quickly screencapture, I had to use the steam button., Great game.

Really liked Spec Ops The Line and hope that there'll be more military horror games in the future. I want to see soldiers really going through eldritch horror and seeing the perspective flipped upside down.

Loved the soundtrack, they show who put on the 70s music and mocks you for it.
