Captain Hair

Another patch cycle bites the dust. Onward to goddess fucking!

Malidica

Particularly anal fucking, all the goddesses need a good hard Simon cock up the ass!

JJS

Well helping Tyna with part two of her succession crisis then goddess fucking.

I have been off dealing with non-TLS stuff lately, so I'm only now replaying the 0.55 content. Two notes: 1.) The Feroholm background music is no longer really appropriate for Feroholm reborn. 2.) The last Final Fantasy game I played was FF VIII, and the last Dragon Quest was IV... so I have absolutely no idea what Fuckball is satirizing. It still kind of worked though.

SantaTheHutt

Is there anything important that in 0.55.4 that wasn't included in 0.55.3? The patch notes imply there isn't.

DukeLeto7

The music for the restored farm also seems a bit off...

sierralee

Good thought about the music. I'm not going to take any action just yet, so others can chime in if they want, but I might want to make tweaks here. The issue is, especially for a place like Feroholm, I don't want to just erase part of its character. If a sped up version of the Feroholm theme sounded cheerful, that might work. Stineford Farm could probably be replaced with something, not sure what. As for Fuckball, there are a ton of references in that part, from a wide variety of games. It's somewhere between FFX's Blitzball and modern gacha games, though.

sierralee

It's very much a bugfixing update, this one is just going out to everyone.

Decanter

Don't suppose we're lucky enough that there's a more upbeat arrangement of Feroholm's theme in the music pack you got it from? Stineford farm could just be the Stineford theme if you have nothing else in mind.

DukeLeto7

It's been DECADES since I studied music theory, but if you can get someone good at making synth music to study the original arrangement of (checks notes) "First Snow" by Mark McKeich, it might be as simple as replacing the minor chords with major chords and re-recording the track in that way. Might even bribe McKeich to do it in a world with infinite money. If he's providing the tracks cost free, he might volunteer the "sheet music" if asked.

DukeLeto7

I vote against the Stineford theme. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that I hate it.

DukeLeto7

Nitpicking. The addition of an Orcent bar chat accessible from the start of chapter 4 makes all of the thresholds for the Orcent Convos at his synod presentation one point easier to achieve.

Blitzball is such a weird game. I spent hours playing it and figured out that the only way to win was to steal the good players from other teams and to cheese the game by playing keepaway with the ball until the last minute. In retrospect, all of Final Fantasy 10 was pretty weird.

sierralee

I don't think I have a more upbeat arrangement or a synth composer on hand, sorry. I will make a note of this and do something with it... later. Good point about an Orcent convo being accessible earlier. I think I'm okay with it, as players aren't likely to hit the threshold accidentally. I wasn't the biggest fan of Blitzball, but I liked FFX pretty well, actually.

DankPotatoes

I don't suppose buying the rights for "We Built This City", and playing it in Feroholm, after practically building the city, is a possibility? It can't cost that many millions. 🤔🤔

DankPotatoes

On another note, anyone having problems with entering the TLS Flarum Forum? I'm getting 502: Bad Gateway for a little while now

DukeLeto7

Chatter on the main flarum forum site suggests they're having issues.

Desertopa

I'm not sure if this is a bug or our just not understanding the criteria, but my GF gave Orilise the money to flood Eustrin in order to get it to its final state, and afterwards Palina said the cost would be too high and wouldn't go through with it. Is that supposed to be able to happen? When I invested the money in my own playthrough, I was able to proceed directly to freeing Eustrin.

Desertopa

It's not necessary to steal the good players from other teams in order to win at blitzball. In fact, I won the league tournament something like... twenty consecutive times? Using only the starting team. Tidus was not merely the MVP every season running, he scored the majority of all points in every game he ever participated in. I suspect that having a Fuckball team composed of an incubus king, elite succubi, shard bearers, etc. would probably end up looking pretty similar to that, were it not for the fact that their entire lives consist of better things to do.

sierralee

Orilise's investment gives a large boost to Palina's check, but it's not sufficient on its own depending on your other choices.

Desertopa

Ah, I see, I thought I remembered seeing a comment about Orilise only appearing if you're close enough to the threshold for the investment to push you over.

A quick note to those using Miraheze: You cannot log in if you're in Firefox. You also, for some strange reason, need to log in in order to use dark mode on pages (a setting that is not remembered and has to be set on a per-page basis), and you have to login AND change your default settings to enable mouseover on notes. That setting is in the beta area. If I were a dev there, I'd make dark/light mode toggle a universal site setting (via cookie), not requiring login (and probably make dark default). I'd fix the login issues on Firefox and I'd make mouseover for notes default on. I'm seriously not sure if they have active/competent devs there, so that's something to consider. Are there better platforms for us?

Decanter

Not unless someone's created a new platform in the past few months, and then we may be hesitant to move onto such a new platform. There are only two reasonable choices; either we use Miraheze or host the wiki privately. The latter is undesirable due to cost, workload, and the centralization of control to one individual. A lack of ads, no censorship of NSFW content, mobile support, portability, and reliable uptime are things that are certain when using Miraheze as a host that can't be offered reliably any other way. Since the wiki is much more portable now that it uses modern Mediawiki, we can move the wiki to any other potential host if necessary very easily. Should you become aware of another host, feel free to suggest it. Dark mode is a poorly supported add-on for Wikimedia in general, not just Miraheze wikis specifically, and there's a case to be made that we shouldn't have enabled it on our wiki at all due to this confusion. All it does is invert colors on the current page. This is why we made the default background a grey instead of bright white, though; that wasn't some thematic statement about TLS morality. If you want a persistent dark mode, I would recommend a browser add-on such as Stylish along with some CSS like this https://github.com/StylishThemes/Wikipedia-Dark (note that even they can't continue maintaining it). I think we'll just disable it for now. I'm fairly sure not being able to login on Firefox is some problem on your end, considering we just had 3 people test it on 6 machines and it worked fine. Both wiki admins use Firefox primarily. Finally, posting this on a Patreon thread that isn't even the most recent one is a somewhat odd choice, and it's fortunate one of us saw it. In future, including if you want to continue this conversation, we'd recommend contacting us about wiki issues somewhere more wiki-related and more reliably checked, such as the forum or the chat.
