Okay so I am in Lower Kankan and have defeated the >!Lahavist Greatblade!< and there is an ability to grab, I think it is >!Wall Jump!<. However whenever I drop into this room I cannot interact with it at all, I cannot return to checkpoint, and if I quit out and reload the game my character immediately dies and goes back to checkpoint. Is there any way around this or am I screwed until a patch drops?

Tried googling this and couldn't see anybody else mentioning this issue so wondering if anybody else had this crop up.

Every time I look up a walkthrough for an item I can't figure out how to get and the guide takes Mio through Promenade, none of the plants attack the player, they all seem dormant somehow, like the ones that strike from above just sit there and the tentacle flowers guys also just stop doing anything to harm you.

The tentacle flowers really annoy me and I'd like them to stop. What do I need to do?

(I've already cleared the boss, just grabbing some upgrades because Debby is fucking me up despite the simplicity of the fight)

So I just finished reading Aaron Carnes' *In Defense of Ska* and omg what a great read, I'm quite ashamed to admit I hadn't actually listened to Skankin' Pickle or more than one song by MU330 (and yet I've seen Dan Potthast live like twice now) and now both bands are getting heavy rotation on the way to work every day (as well as Sekta Core!).

Does anybody know of other books about ska? I'm open to all ska - whether it's a deep dive into UK 2 Tone or a chronicle of early Jamaican trad ska or more of a look at ska-punk, I'd love to read it and learn more about it.

Documentaries are cool too, especially if they're available on YouTube or the like, but I can't watch docos as easily as I ca

Wasn't really enjoying the game too much, I'm not thrilled by the apparent lack of a map and it's just really dragging for me. I've found the second teleporter structure, the double jump, but not the grapple. Am I ditching this one too early and the gameplay significantly improves after this or is it going to just be continually collecting Carbon, Silicon and Aluminium blobs from here?

OR Should I skip to Revenge? Sounds like they've addressed some of the complaints of the original in that one, or is it largely more of the same?

Thanks in advance (before you ask, not Googling in case of too many spoilers).

Fuckin' dammit. There goes my poison arrows for the blue dragon. And I only get ~200 souls for my mistake, what gives?

Anyone else accidentally killed a NPC like Yuria or Urbain right when you needed them? Make me feel better about my dumbassery.

So I've been playing Shinsekai: Into the Depths and I'm not too far in, but the physics of movement feel very non-user-friendly (I keep slamming into walls and the floor despite using the booster to slow myself down), the pace feels kind of slow (the character's walking speed is abysmal), and as far as I can tell there is no story or mission yet other than "don't touch the nasty ice". And despite it looking quite nice, everything is either rock, metal or ice and already the map looks very samey.

I know some people here in this have played this and I'd like to hear from you; does it pick up the pace at all and are there more areas that aren't more of the same boring rocks? So far I've found

So past the last wall there is the ancient GEO base with the Founder's office but I cannot get the picture puzzle to line up and it's driving me nuts. Does anybody have the solution or can point me to where I can find it? Googling results with nothing.

It's described as an action-platformer and looks kinda MV-like from the eShop's page. It also has a free DLC expansion and is currently 50% off on Switch as well.

I haven't seen any mention of it on this sub (unless, of course, I missed something) so I was just wondering if anybody on here has heard of it/played it and has an opinion.

Hey guys, I played the demo of Dragon Quest XI and enjoyed it and if I buy it from the eShop it says I can transfer the save file to the proper game. But I want to buy a physical copy so I can lend it to my housemate once I've finished it, since he did the same for me with Breath of the Wild. Will buying a physical copy affect whether I can move the save?

I'm doing a jazz performance degree, so I only really know jazz trumpeters - Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Kenny Dorham, Clifford Brown, etc., and my only real exposure to anything approaching classical in my studies/lessons since high school (finished in 2009) has been the 14 Arban Etudes (and I know that doesn't really count).

But this year my teacher has given the Charlier Etudes and told me to go listen to classical trumpeters to hear their sound, phrasing... but this is a new area for me, and I hardly know any. I know of Wynton Marsalis, Maurice Andre, and Sergei Nakariakov (and just discovered Kirill Soldatov through him).

So I guess my question is, (aside from the aforementioned pla

I went into a local music store just now and they were specifically only selling the Yamaha Vintage oil and the Al Cass 'Fast' oil (which I'm not the biggest fan of).

I've used Yamaha's (synthetic) regular for years and over the last two years I switched to the Light from the same range, but I'm intending to switch back to regular (light seems to start sticking again quickly).

But if I grabbed vintage, will there be a noticeable difference? I've heard people describe vintage as thick, which is not what you want when you need to transcribe Clifford.

No alternative oil suggestions please, I know cooking oils are bad, and gun oil is not readily available in Australia afaik anyway.

So I own RoR on Steam (and have unlocked all the achievements despite only beating the game with Commando and Huntress), but I don't own a PC that handles games very well anymore (it's a five year old Acer laptop that managed to play Skyrim, albeit almost constantly at about 35fps, but it's gotten more sluggish since and doesn't even like running Binding of Isaac anymore)

Is it worth buying it on Switch as well? I miss playing it every time I see posts from this sub on my feed but not sure I can justify spending money on a game I still own

So the hole covered by my main spit valve is looking pretty gunked up and whenever I give my trumpet a bath it consistently manages to not get fully clean (my local repair has kindly used compressed air to really clean it out before).

It's a tricky spot to get into due to the actual "key" part being in the way and I'm not technically proficient enough to remove/reattach the key without fear of messing up the spring, so how do you guys go about cleaning this odd spot?
