The rest of the tweets definitely don’t make him appear as less of a self-righteous ass.

This actually made me cringe:

Your weekly reminder that FFmpeg powers all online video - Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Disney+, Netflix etc etc, all run FFmpeg underneath

My experience has been that it’s often not the team that’s the problem, it’s the management. I’ve seen a team full of talented developers who know how to successfully launch, only to barely get anything done because management keeps reprioritizing everything. It seems in OPs case the org itself might be the issue. Even if they move to a team where the PO actually does their job instead of letting the MVP balloon the team keeps fighting business just to deliver something.

If I was OP I’d probably look for a job in a different company.

I absolutely get it. One of my criticism of Totk is exactly that, that the start of the game holds your hand too much. Botw was pretty much “here are the main abilities and there you can end the game. Now go do whatever you want.” while totk is “this is how you do this, this is how you do that, here you can find this and there you can find that”, but once you get through the initial tutorialization the game becomes more like botw.

As for instantly dying in caves, compared to botw totk is actually much harder early game. I died quite a few times at the start but after learning the tools the game gives and how I should approach certain enemies I die (or rather waste my fairies) more out of negligence than genuine difficulty. For instance I don’t know why but I refused to fuse horns to weapons, which is pretty stupid because the primary purpose of the horns is to be fused to weapons to increase damage and durability.

So like mostly the tutorial area? I wasn’t feeling it either for the first maybe 10 hours, but then I got most of the starter quests out of the way, started to set my own goals and the game really opened up like BotW. I’m about 150 hours in and there’s still so much to do.

For me the armor sets aren’t even that expensive, it’s the upgrades that are stupid expensive. 760 rupees per piece is too much, it’s 2200+ rupees per set which is stupid expensive considering how many sets we have and how little money we get. Not to mention some of the materials are just annoying to get. I got around 12 fire tails from doing most of death mountain region and the start of the gerudo desert area. You need 30 to fully upgrade the cold suit so I thought I might as well grind a bit to get the rest. About an hour later I got more 3 tails. I then proceeded to dupe all the tails I would need in less than 15 minutes. I’ve now killed plenty more but I still wouldn’t have 30 if I wanted to do it legit.
