Is is harder correct? I might hit this up this weekend. I'll hit you up on Steam for links, or post here.


It's different, sometimes a lot easier, sometimes a lot harder. Depends on what happens with the randomizer. The seed I am playing right now is a super troll seed, I got all the overworld fetch quests I can get and I still don't have enough items to fully clear a dungeon. That's rare, usually you can get enough to do at least one dungeon and then get items for another from the next. I'm having to half clear the easier dungeons to try to find items. You don't have to 100% everything though, just looking to get enough items to clear the necessary dungeons to enter Ganon's Tower and beat Ganon (Go Mode.) You don't have to get all the pendants unless you need items to enter go mode from those dungeons. Even the location of the pendants and crystals is randomized, so the required dungeons to complete changes each seed.

There is a google doc link I can post when I get home that has links to almost everything. You will need the Japanese rom in v1.0 for the randomizer. The randomizer is just a website that you upload the rom and it spits out another rom based on your selections from the website.


edit: Got the link off my phone

The evilash tracker is nice if you know what you are doing. The crossproduct and fouton tracker are much better for just starting out. Fouton I think does a better job of listing the fetch quests you can do based on what you have, but crossproducts has a lot more of what you need for requirements.

I think this is the first ever time I've felt pretty satisfied with my builds and don't want to upgrade like..... Ever


I have the opposite reaction, I don't want to build again EVER because this build has given me so many problems.

With Broadwell-E or just that whole Strix issue?

This is what i'm really excited about with the Ryzen Pro line. These are the features I speak to about why I stick with Intel. If im not selling old hardware it is usually getting used in another build. vPro is something used all the time by me, especially with my NAS. I don't always keep it but do cold boots. So its nice be able to boot up when shut down. Used to do Wake on LAN with my NIC, but it gives me loads of trouble. The thing would randomly wake.

The speeds and core counts are not the most important features of these chips however, it is the features they share with AMD's soon to arrive EPYC chips. AMD Secure Processor features, TPM 2.0 and DASH which offers features similar to Intel's vPro architecture.

Off topic question - I've been on the mouse market for a while and noticed the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum was on sale at amazon for $55.99 so I decided to pick it up. I've heard its a solid mouse.

I've used the Logitech line for a long time, I assume this mouse keeps the line going. Anyone have it and like it?

You can still get them. Nidec still makes them, but the minimum quantity is 10,000 units I think. A couple of resellers either went in together or separately met the minimum quantity. You can get them from Coolerguys on Amazon and elsewhere. Ordered a couple of them a few weeks ago.

Yeah I see ppl still order them on OCN. Just thinking of the time period where those fans, DD and BFG dominated the high end of PC enthusiasts rigs.

You know, those 7800/8800 GTX days. That is when I started really back into PC gaming after high school. PCPer's Ryan paid like $150 bucks for an unopened VooDoo card just for nostalgia. Would love to get an unopened 8800 GTX BFG. Have a true soft spot for that card, thought I could never afford something so awesome back in those days.

I have a RAM problem, and I thinks on the MOBO, I get a random BSD when signing in, the diagram for the Plex + - is worthless and the print on the MOBO is so small you can't read it, the cable broke on my front panel controls, and it was a bitch just to get up and running.

Omg lol

I can tell you this, I also have RAM issues but it is with the memory controller on CPU. I still get hard freezes with no BSD. Had to bring my RAM speeds down to 2400-2666 just to keep a stable 4.2. My RAM I think is good and its rated for 3000, but believe it is just a shtty Broadwell MCU.

I have been using a Zelotes C12 4000 DPI Programmable Gaming Mouse for PC Mac Computer Laptop, 12 Programmable Buttons, for over a year now and like it, it's bigger than your normal mouse though.

Dude.. that mouse. =/

I used the NEGA during MMO days but preferred binding keys on the keyboard over mouse.

This is random but LSUToo talking about fans reminded me of the 8 Series which I loved.. but talk about confusing.

Yeah but given my situation the programmable mouse buttons allow me to play games that I might not be able to otherwise.

Yeah, maybe I have sausage fingers or something but its hard to wrap them around the mouse and hit all buttons.

Have Razer Hex was a little better but really could only hit about 80% of the buttons.

I used the G500 forever, purchased the G500s after my 500 broke and still use it now. I absolutely love those two. It's just getting wore out and the cloth wire is finally getting worn away. Just looking for a change/upgrade. Glad the G502 is solid.

I bought a Naga a few years ago and just didn't like it.. I wanted to, but I didn't. I didn't use the buttons. 7-8 buttons on a mouse is plenty for what I do.

Yeah the HEX is a much better mouse for MMOs. The side buttons are arranged in a circle pattern which makes it more natural and easier to access.

That is what I've used for the last 4 years for MOBA's, I had the Hex and then about 4 months ago it died and I upgraded to the Naga Hex V2.

Yea the he is not bad. I currently use one of the Monix mice.

UH you still feel the same about VEGA FE? Seems like everyone is meh on it, its meh and disappointing.

Edt: OCN Thread

Not shtting, just disappointing since this is the same chip going into the gaming cards. Wanted AMD to blow it up. It's also funny they announced the Ryzen Pro 1 day after leaks and release. Like to cover up results, idk. Holding my breath for driver optimization but doesn't like promising with 3DMark. Everything is optimized for that suite.
