Can't speak for anyone else, but I know I have several sealed collector editions on display, and I still play those games. Usually buying a digital copy in addition. I wouldn't assume everyone who keeps something graded doesn't play the games too. I'm sure some fall into that category, but most people who collect, they collect what they love. So games collectors (typically) collect because they love playing the games, even if that particular copy on a shelf isn't the one inserted.

I'm sure some ppl exist that genuinely don't play or have interest in playing games they collect, but I imagine it's a very small minority.

@JaxonH Yep, and those are the ones I'm talking about, those boring soulless sods buying and collecting things to not experience it but to own it. Like people who buys a vintage vinyl of Street Fighting Man by The Rolling Stones yet doesn't even like the band, grabs that hard to find Spider Man #129 only then doesn't bother to read it etc.

I met someone once who spunked a lot of money on a Zakk Wylde guitar, I then tried talking to them about Black Label Society but they didn't have a clue who they were. On the plus side I did get a go on it and I tried to play the Rastamouse theme with it.

@JaxonH Regarding finding Captain Construct II horns, I would check the island chains roads that lead to water temple or wind temple. I believe the long road of islands leading to the wind temple air ship has captain construct II's. You can fast travel to the wind or water temple and paraglide out to do their island chain backwards.

I have well over 100 hours and still have goron and gerudo temple regions to do. I've had such a good time, I'm tempted to stop playing or progressing so I can save those areas to share playing them with my nieces in July.

(I also can't help think TOTK seems possibly too big, too time consuming, maybe too addictive for an uncorrupted kid/teen doing well in school & playing filed hockey- my nieces. (granted, as a bmx rider & former ski addict, I loathed the structure of team sports (though I loved sand court volleyball)).

@WoomyNNYes Well Kingdom Sad is meant to a marathon rather than a sprint so you're slowly playing for ages to discover everything in the massive game.

I have noticed with my kid brothers and their friends that yeah, maybe late teens shouldn't be inside playing loads and loads of games. After the lockdown years kids missed out on that key time to develop their social skills and street smarts so now that are going out they don't know how to flirt or navigate the city anymore so there's gonna be an entire generation who don't know how to banter now!

I loathed team sports at school, as I was the biggest I was always chucked into things like rugby which was so boring. I much prefer something like weightlifting and making it about pushing yourself and getting rewarded with sweet, sweet endorphin and t-shirt bursting guns.

@MS7000 the gloom goop all originates in that same room (evidenced by the fact every calamity we witnessed so far originated in the castle, the source is under it), so there’s no need for any gloomy creature to be drawn back to it, if it could free Ganondorf, they would’ve done so during the first calamity.

Rauru’s hold on Ganondorf is simply meant to be that strong. The only reason he broke free now, is because Rauru let go willingly.

Fi technically no longer exists as herself, I think.

This is legit the best thing you can make.

@Owl1
I’m too stupid for ultrahand. Auto build was made for people like me.

@Professor_Plumber
Me as well. I get stuck in the simplest of shrines because my brain can't process what exactly i'm supposed to do with whatever pieces they provide. Never was the creative type.

@blindsquarel @Professor_Plumber you do know you can favorite builds right?

@Professor_Plumber do what I do, before you build put down a hard save then if you mess up or give up you can save all your parts.

I'm kind of disappointed we can't throttle fan powered hover bikes for landing. All we can do is cut the power, then drop like a rock. You can turn it back on while falling, but it's still basically crashing.

(I've got to go watch that new austin john video of vehicle builds, now.)

@WoomyNNYes he shows how to do a good landing. Easier than I thought lol.

@JaxonH @Eel ok cool. Thank you!

@Owl1
You have to make a good build in order to save the build. Currently I just have the normal plane blueprint saved, with a control stick added.

@blindsquarel I have a really good Hoverbike and a really good glider saved.

@Owl1
These builds are to confusing for me. I’m sticking with my horse.

spends twenty minutes trying to get horse to go up slight incline

@blindsquarel
creates a clean energy source and is the only one alive who knows how to use it

nah, I'll just stick with my horse.

@Owl1 @Professor_Plumber
One runs out after use. the other is reliable, consistent, and needs no zonaite.

@blindsquarel manual labor is cheaper than machines... I mean Zonite...
