Q: How to move past eight sided blocks

I have started playing The Legend of Zelda: Mystery of Solarus DX, based on the free GPL Solarus game engine (not sure how this relates to other Zelda versions). I am now stuck with something that assume should be quite basic but I have not figured out; how to move or remove the eight sided bloc...

@Yuuki @Fluttershy How high should my power level be before these Nightfall things start being something I can do?

@RedRiderX I think you can start doing them at 240 maybe?

@Frank sketchy behaviour?

Frank

@Ash This whole XP kerfuffle with Destiny 2.

Someone figured out that the game was faking XP rewards if you kept playing the same thing over and over.

user15026

I have no idea what you refer to

user15026

@Frank ah, that's a little shady

Frank

And after they went public with it, Bungie changed it to a flat scaling calculation.

But then doubled the amount of XP required to, "level up", and didn't tell anyone about that, either.

Tweeted by charltonbrooker on November 27, 2017 at 4:41 PM

But no, seriously, Pocket Camp is a very watered down Animal Crossing experience

In New Leaf there's a lot more choice and actions. Also the animals that live in your town don't have literal friendship numbers hanging over their head, and they actually feel like people living in a town because they have routines, personalities and stuff

Avery

9:37 AM

@fredley exactly

@fredley it's not "fun"

It's more like “haha dan look I got a rare fish fuck you dan"

Private Pansy

In Pocket Camp they're vending machines

That said Pocket Camp has potential. It's a good base - now they just have to add more content.

Avery

Well jokes aside I don't really enjoy it, it's relaxing and everything though

That said I think that I'm pretty endgame already

I saw all the places and bought all slots and went everywhere caught everything etc

Private Pansy

It's hard to tell if the game is ruined by the limitations of mobile games catering to a very limited attention span or having to accommodate microtransactions everywhere

There's just a lot of things that stands out if you've played New Leaf - like everything having numbers on top of them

New Leaf never tells you (in numbers) how much your neighbours like you. Or when things respawn. Or even if you've caught a rare fish - you have to judge for yourself.

Then again New Leaf has more than 10x the variety of fish and bugs

So yeah, like I said, I can't tell if they've added these things to make it palatable as a mobile game, or to make it easier to entice people to buy microtransactions

Avery

Game feels incomplete

Private Pansy

Also I hate everything having a loading spinner.

I guess I should go back and play New Leaf again

fredley

In Stardew it's completely different, your job is to exploit capital. Debt never comes into it.

You can be cash poor because you've buried all your assets in the ground, but that's about it.
