Ok, there's no way I would've figured out to powerbomb the glass tube without looking it up.
The internet tells me there's an already broken tube elsewhere as a hint. I don't remember such but it sounds right.


There is, but I didn't recognize it as a destroyed tube until after I used a power bomb on the intact one.

Is there any way to zoom out the map to check other areas or can I only check areas I'm in?

Not really sure which area I should be looking in. I have the following items:

Varia suit
Gravity suit
Charge beam
Ice beam
Wave beam
Spazer
Morph ball
Bomb
Spring ball
Hi jump boots
Speed booster
Grapple beam

My best guess would be Maridia since there were parts I couldn't access, but not sure.

Tips for Radiance

On the phase with platforms, just stand on the bottom middle one instead of jumping around. If he spawns close to you swing upwards to continually hit him. If he spawns away, just sit there and easily dodge his projectiles while waiting for him to come back. Gives you plenty of time to heal and dodge no problem. The final phase is ridiculously easy and you probably won't ever even get hit let alone die on it.


Radiance beated. I followed this strategy during the platform phase, except minus the healing since I was using Joni's Blessing (more health but it's all blue health).

And yeah, that final phase was ridiculously easy!

Thanks for the tips

I'm just kind of curious what Cyclo did to himself to end up like this. Its hard to ignore him because he dominates these topics in sheer number of posts but hes not really capable of conversing like a normal user anymore.


I haven't seen this to be the case. You even have twice the number of posts he does on the first page of this topic.

And honestly on the whole Clinton-Tulsi thing, it's fucking bizarre to see people act like they know exactly how Russia operates and that anyone who disagrees is a conspiracy theorist.

Anyway, this trailer is hype. Finally a massive space battle in a mainline Star Wars film again. Revenge of the Sith had one, I guess, but it was right at the very beginning and had prequel problems out the wazoo.


the only space battle i recall the prequels having involved a kid lucking his way into victory and everyone else being horrible.

WHOOPS!

I remember The Hollow Knight portion being pretty trivial and quick after a couple attempts and I got the pattern down. I don't remember my exact setup but I'm pretty sure he gets shredded by one of the upgraded spells and leaves himself open reasonably often.

Actual final boss is pretty rough, though. And the DLC bosses were even harder, never beat them.


Yeah the HK fight isn't hard, just annoying to have to repeat. It's just that I keep trying to speed it up by being overly aggressive and end up dying.

Really wish I didn't have to fight The Hollow Knight every single time just to get to the boss

It just feels pretty pointless and makes it more time consuming to learn the boss patterns, especially since you get full health once you get to Radiance

I've died a few times to The Hollow Knight just because I've been getting impatient and just want to get on with the real boss fight

So like if your family is talking about what you want on your sandwich, they'd say, "Hey VintageGin, what would you like on your sloppy Joes?" Even if they were making you a single sandwich?


It never really came up like that. If sloppy joes were for dinner, then it was implied there would be a batch of the meat and I would have one or more sandwiches. (Also, confused by the question-- do people put other stuff on the sandwich?)

If there were leftovers then I might get asked if I wanted bread for a sandwich or something. But sometimes I'd just eat it by itself or with rice.

Weirdly this topic is the first time I've ever heard people call it a sloppy joe. My family has always referred to them as sloppy joes, and it's always specifically been in reference to the meat/stuff you put in the sandwich.

I've also eaten it out of a bowl plenty of times, so there's that.

Are you hoping to get another government job? Because if you're worried about people calling your references/places of previous employment, check your state laws first. As far as I know, in California (for example) they can only verify that you worked there-- they can't ask what caused you to leave. And so you wouldn't ever necessarily need to disclose anything regarding termination to future employers.

Oh, I've definitely told people that I went to North Korea, but I don't think I'd seriously count it! I mean, it's like less than a minute where you essentially just stand in the North Korea half of a building.

That said, the DMZ tour I went on was very well done, and I definitely recommend. If you go make sure to do the "full-day tour" rather than "half day" (different tour groups give them different names) because only the full tours go to the JSA.

It's good and all (I was the one that actually ordered it).

I'd eat it again, sure. But I'd probably just choose a regular Whopper in general since they tend to be more than a dollar cheaper and taste slightly better. Like most things marketed towards being "better" for you or the environment, they are of course worse on your wallet. Yeah it's just $1.50 or so perhaps, but it's just yet another option for "healthier" food that's probably overpriced. My big hangup with most food products like this is that they tend to do the song and dance about trying to make you feel better about spending more so you can help the environment or yourself. I'm just not really feeling that much.

But yeah it's pretty tasty. The patty itself is a little bit thinner than the typical one, at least mine was. The texture isn't so much off that I noticed it, but I wasn't blown away by the taste either. It was a slightly thinner whopper I paid a little more for.


I mean, the eventual idea is that production will improve to the point where it won't necessarily be more expensive

It's mostly just impressive that they are able to do a fairly good approximation of burger meat for not too much more
