Haha indeed!

It’s funny when it starts to just invent things. Like packages, with version number!, that… do not exists…

Or when it outputs code without using the variables …

The most annoying thing is imho that it keeps explaining everything al the time. Even when I prompt “you have a working app with vuejs…” and others it sometimes still explains how to setup the app.

That said: the tool has become a staple in my workflow whenever I need a starting point. Or have to do some math algorithmic things

Haha good one! I was wondering why that name sounded familiar and this is it.

Very good film to see… once and never ever unsee or forget the images, isn’t it?

Nope. 2.5km or so but in a dense populated city 😁

I’m interested in your terrifying view though. Maybe I’m missing something, this is roughly what’s in my head now: (1 is my home, 2 is a a cloud server, 3 is my parents)

• 1: pushes the relevant entities to 2. Read only.
• 2 received the data. Validation here is a token system with permissions. I’m going to use my SaaS to do this given it already has this in place
• 2 is storing the values in a database
• 3 gets notified of the new values with web hooks. Again by 2, something I have yet to build in de SaaS but will be needed anyway
• 2 can sanitize the values when needed. It will absolutely do validation and verification and such
• 2 is very secure and is the only one who will do write, only to his own db
• I’m not sure if 3 would be able to react to entities directly on 2 but I will investigate this. If not I can push the values
• we make a read only graph on 3 that just displays the values.
• I’m now thinking that doesn’t even have to be on 3 yet, I can just make a very secure view for them in the SaaS. With login and things, something that I already have. I can use an iFrame to let them view it in a dashboard of HA
• later we could do automations when needed but that is not that urgent given I work from home and my parents are retired.

For me this seems very secure, more so given we mostly have read only things. maybe there is something I’m missing?

Sidenote: we have Smappee as well and can access each others home through their app. We can use this at first but it would just be cool to make this flow. I for one don’t want to be this dependent of some vendor, if you know what I mean…

For me it’s simple: my ISP has crippled the upload to 30mbps making it impossible to host something from my home publically (download is 300mbps or more) but I do selfhost on unraid … it’s just for stuff in my house or for my privately with vpn outside. I run a TON of apps this way… I just don’t need them to be … public they are just for me to use at home mostly.

That for me is also selfhosting.

Now that said: I still ask the same question to my isp when they want to upsell me something: and what about the upload? The sales persons mostly don’t know what I mean or how it matters 🤦‍♀️… anyway I’ve been doing this for 20+ years now…… kinda lost hope? But nah not yet 😏 … “hoop doet leven” we tell or selves over here (translates to: hope is live)

Yeah I know you can top up much with food. But somehow I do not like that mechanic much. It’s better with the recipients book and the automatic picking but still: it does gets old, especially the animation.

I found the pants to! 😜 And it was enough but I just bought every gear topup I had access to. The time limit the food gives is even worse for me than the cooking itself. I do not respond well to games like that. They spike my already high anxiety and stress levels, in a bad way.

That is why I find it kinda sad that Nintendo does not cater to both kind of people: those who thrive on this, and those like me who really cannot function with that. I mean: they have a game that allows easily for both styles! Yes I know this sounds contracting but I meant also that it could be an accessibility setting to lower the pricing of gear. if you want that. That way everyone can enjoy the game their way

For instance I love Control. (Steam) I love the concept, the vibe, the story just everything. Well not as much as TOTK maybe but I digress, what I mean to state is that That game would be impossible for me to play, let alone enjoy, without the excellent accessibility settings. Like kill with 1 shot. It’s so easy to make hooks like that if the developers have eyes for it. Other great undies have them as well. Games that would be impossible for me, I could actually finish now and still have enough fun like “Celeste” the fact that I could finegrade the things like “no dying” but “leave puzzles complex” is so much better than “easy”

It brings the fun back in games! I really wish more would do this. Still bit sad about “a plague tale” But anyway bit off topic 🤭

Foraging is idd cool and sometimes I just wander around doing that. I do forget to take pictures, they should have a thing that when you took something it’s in your book. I don’t think it is now?

It’s just a lot a lot a lot of different items. It’s insane. Like multiple frogs, lizards, fish … I think there a lot more than in BOTW isn’t it? 🤔 Maybe I should see where Links’s house would be at to store some of this. At least some weapons as well. Had to leave some really cool ones behind sometimes for upgrades.

Well. The game is indeed very huge. I feel like I already got my moneys worth and I am just started with the first temple!

🤟

Huge indeed, especially with the whole underground and the sky.

I actually made the mistake of going to Zora’s domain first. Don’t know how to put it in words but it was such a difficulty jump I felt like “omg I’m lost I miss the more linear Zelda” after dying yet again from one blow…

But now I circled back to Rito village … and well that was easy 😏 I mean I’m still at the temple but the difference is huge. This feels more like “normal” curve wise.

Thing is I cannot play long sessions and I tend to forget things. And we do get sooooo much info now it’s easy to get sidetracked. But the NPC’s really steer you that way first don’t they? Guess I was just “screw that 🐸 suit I don’t want to do that now” and I went to Zora’s. Lol. Fun fact I still don’t have the frog suit… I just flew … from very far😏

I really wish Nintendo didn’t patch the glitch. Sure it’s kinda cheating but for me it does kinda iliminate those things I really dislike in the game. Basically the grinding for rupees to afford cold resistant gear and arrows. And off course ingredients to top up hearts.

Haha it’s basically something I do to counteract the stupid glitches my brain does. Like pushing the wrong button, forgetting to jump or something else like yesterday I stupidly walked off a platform.🤭

I do find it much more relaxing knowing that those things my brain does not always kill me and I have to redo the same thing over and over again. Less stress = better. Now I can play to relax again. Until the patch goes through but by then I will have enough gear I think. 😉

As a Zelda fan I have played them all, except maybe those before the original Link To The Past on gameboy. But not all until the end. It depends on how the gameplay was and especially the saving. My brain you know?

I think portability for me has always been key and the fact that those systems always had “sleep mode” the DS that is and onwards.

Wind waker on Wii was awesome but torture: you had to remember those tunes … ugh a nightmare for me. It was better on the Wii U, if I remember correctly they added some kind of log to that one. Skyward sword: not a fan either, saving was awkward (on Wii)

My favorites were mostly those on the game boys or DS/3ds. Like “the minish cap” “phantom hour glass” or “link between worlds” … 🤔 and now off course TOTK. I like it more than BOTW. I really really love the crafting element.

:-)

Which one? Mario I mean. Odyssee?

I tried with Luigi’s mansion 3, everything taken from my own switch … but the performance is just not there. Very very low fps which makes the game unplayable :(

Why that one? Well I wanted to try an AA title and I left my cartridges downstairs. To lazy to run 2 floors to get them so 🤷‍♀️ 😏 (As I rule I almost never buy anything digital from Nintendo)

I’ve already completed Odyssee but if it runs very well on the deck like you suggest I might replay.

Did you try TOTK? How good does that run if you compare with the original switch? Guess motion is lost? I do use that so…

Man! If only Nintendo would release their games on other platforms!! We will buy them. And re-buy them. Oh well. Maybe. Someday.

Same as you: TOTK. I’m already 40h in and I feel like I’m just starting! This game is really massive imho … for someone like me maybe who is just exploring and doing some quests but without structure.

In a way I’m looking forward to the paper guide to just bring some kind of structure and sense of “where the hell am I in the story, is this just 2pt or am I already at 50?”

Sometimes I miss the more linear Zelda’s

Side note: I must admit I still use the dupe glitch. I really like this relaxing way of playing. For me it has been a life saver, kinda like an accessibility option. Otherwise I would not be able to play at all (health issues). So now I’m very anxious 😬 that the game will install the update when I misclick Oh well, still lots of fun!

Question back: what was your first Zelda?

Mine was Links awakening on the game boy, I was 12. Couldn’t speak a word of English. No internet. Shit was haaaaard! 43 now. Still playing 😁 and…… Introducing Zelda to the next gen to: what did you think? Jup the remake of that one! Fully dubbed! So far my nephews and nieces love it!
