  • “Clothes are for the person wearing them, nothing about this has to do with driving attention.”

    I agree here, but there are plenty of women who wear specific clothes to garner attention. That, too, is their perogative. At the end of the day the attention is still for them, not the person giving the attention, so it still ties back to your initial point I guess!








  • No idea how I found this out, probably just from being on the BotW subreddit, but the specific timings are 23:30 - 00:00. This guarantees a crit effect from your meals (more duration, more hearts etc).

    In my head it was informed in a loading screen or by an NPC but I can’t find anything online that confirms this, so guess I just came across a thread once!

    I think 5 x Hearty Durians is 20 temporary hearts normally but under a blood moon I got 24 temporary hearts in one recipie.


  • Morrowind would just soft reboot the Xbox during load screens. I think Blood Moons are a smarter move overall as it adds to the fun and gamer knowledge that enemies have respawned etc, but the Morrowind implementation was such that the player wouldn’t notice the background soft reboot, because the screen retained a static loading screen during the process.

    Also Skyrim (PS3 at least), just added the info tracking the game state to the save file which made it incredibly large after many hours of playing so some found it unplayable.

    That said there’s evidence that most night time blood moons are scripted (i.e. for gameplay), and anything you see during the day is a “panic” one, added later in the coding timeline, for the memory free up purpose. Blood moons weren’t originally planned for that (or they were maybe but timing wasn’t implemented?), but they work well for it.
