@JulieSqveakaroo Indeed.

The software I will be running on it is expected to have huge font and very minimal input, so it won’t be too bad when the build is completed.

The tiny computer has been forged successfully.

Now to install a touchscreen keyboard and the things I wanted on it.

@qdot My condolences.

I had to bootstrap the Raspbian install for this off of my Pi 2 due to apparent overheating, so I can’t imagine what node must have been like.

... and now I’m wondering if anyone has emerged world on one of these.

Raspberry Pi Zero experiment is continuing apace. I’ve tried pocketing this thing, and it’s practically weightless, which is kind of crazy to me.

I also might have bought a second, since it’s inexpensive and enables further experimenting.

@Yarideki@monsterpit.net One of the early items you get in Ocarina of Time normally. They’re typically used for solving torch puzzles in the game, but they also do good (master sword equivalent) damage, at the cost of one stick a hit.

So, basically a consumable standing in for what should be a (reusable) sword.

@salameleon@snouts.online Very.

Relatedly, I think I used over 70 deku sticks in this run.

Shot: Hint stone: “The Kokiri Sword is in the final chest of Gerudo Thief’s Training.”

Chaser: It was in the last sphere generated by the seed, one chest _after_ finding the boomerang for go mode.

Just placed an electronics order to see how tiny I can make a dedicated two-factor device. Not everything I use supports U2F or FIDO2 (that’s already easy), and I’m kind of afraid of a simple phone drop leading to manual recovery of ~20 TOTP keys.

I’m a little surprised this is not a common enough thing for there to already exist commodity devices, so I’m going to try a Raspberry Pi Zero W build first.

@salameleon@snouts.online That’s the one. I’ll probably use it to learn hammeryump, which I haven’t yet. >..>

@salameleon@snouts.online I watch a lot of speedgaming during slow periods at work. There’s at least one set of savestates floating around to practice six heart Blind and other combat scenarios common to rando.

I’ll see if I can pull those up later.

@salameleon@snouts.online Happy to run friendlies and chat. Can’t make a regular schedule work for tournament play just yet, but possibly can run dailies and weeklies over the holidays.

@salameleon@snouts.online ... and there are a bunch of resources provided by SRL and its Discord/IRC for improving combat and working with particularly weird item loadouts.

For routing, I’ve started using a priority queue, organized by hints, then required dungeons in logic sorted by item density, routed breadth-first. This crude take on A* improved my average time significantly and might be worth trying.

@salameleon@snouts.online Godspeed. Even if you expect to wash out in the early stages of the tournament, it’s a fantastic way to improve your runs.
