Pictures of water enclosed.

Spoiler

I had a few pics that didn't go through at all unfortunately. It had just rained so it really was an impressive deluge of water to see in person.

Did you manually set the white balance?

I don't know a damn thing about photos. I pressed the button and let the phone figure out the rest.

White Balance is normally automatically done by the camera but under certain lighting it can stuff up. This is basically because things that appear "white" to us all have slightly different hues, which the camera is very good at detecting. Since it needs to pick a colour that becomes "pure" white as a reference point for all the other colours, having it slightly off can give the photo a sort of off-colour hue (like everything looking slightly blue or slightly red - often described as the photo having 'cool' or 'warm' lighting). White balancing just means setting this yourself, either so it's correct and accurate or sometimes to create an interesting effect.

Basic camera settings are pretty simple, it's really just controlling the balance between aperture size (what's in focus), shutter speed (how long the photoreceptor is exposed to light) and ISO (how sensitive the photoreceptor is to light). Everything else is more or less so much fluff.

Well the water was incredibly white, consistent with rapids and splashing water, I do not know the name of this phenomena, probably called something simple like foaming. This coloration was present even before when the water impacted the rocks near the top probably due to the powerful current being bottlenecked, when it fell from the upper rocks to the lower rocks, and then as it flowed down the lower rocks. The lower rocks were also shrouded in a thin visible mist. All surrounding rocks were so damp as to constantly trickle water onto the observation path.

Speedkilled the Destroyer using the Stormbow.




It took, like, 30 seconds.

okay i'm done, I've gotten to the moonlord and most people say he's too hard and i agree after trying to kill him multiple times i'll try again if a later update makes him easier. i'm using a melee character btw

never mind i'll try again tomorrow people are saying to use the nurse to heal so uh yeah i'll do that.

Argh, I can't figure out how to share these camera mode screenshots...

---

Wait, no, I figured it out.

Expect screenies soon!

All right, here we go!



A neat thing I figured out about the Goldfish statue. When it's raining, the statue doesn't recognize the walking Goldfish as Goldfish, so it just keeps spawning more. After letting it go on for a minute or two, I collected enough to net me about 18 gold.

Deepest sympathies.

The pain I can deal with. The fact that all of this hit me A: while trying to sleep, B: while on vacation, C: while I was dangerously close to a painkiller OD already for that 24 hour period, and D: while the cabin is not yet stocked with anything but toilet paper is what gets me. It's a maddening sort of inconvenient persistence.

I really like how you can spawn the Eclipse on your own in 1.3, too.
Makes getting the Eclipse loot so much easier.

I don't understand why the spawner is post-Plantera though, while the natural Solar Eclipse is post-Mech.

That is a bit weird.

I'm working on tower tops.

Gonna bring these up again in case people missed them. Stuff tends to get buried and forgotten when it's at the bottom of a forums page.

I think I have died to Medusae making me fall to my death more than I've died to anything else in this playthrough.

Tally for one of dicks on the Nexus so far. :P

A dick tally? *snatches list, writes EVERYONE as large as possible across the whole page and hands it back* YOU'RE WELCOME

:D

The fuck did I miss?
Why are we having a dick tally?
And how long is the dick tally? is it straight or bendy?

He's a friend of mine. Leave him be Otter.

(His sense of humour is usually better than that though)

alright back to vector thrust, reset my progress to mission since a patch have now allowed me to buy new aircraft, but i go ahead to unlock a Sukhoi myself through some file editing.

Mission 1, owned all of them and instead do as I ordered to disengage, I went headon and attacked the Legion plane, but the game cut me off from there.....

Basically, try setting white balance manually if necessary. The automatic white balance can sometimes royally fuck that up and then stuff like #TheDress happens.

I HATE medusas. Even with full molten armor and a legendary night's edge they still can kick my butt.
I dunno if their range has increased in expert mode, but I've had them stone me from across the screen and they seem able to chain the debuff together so a single medusa can keep me paralyzed for a very long time.
Not to mention the 400 hp and double damage.
