We're going to open up a thread just to kind of open the door and discuss what people like, don't like, or want to see happen here. With @scoobdog's ASMB Survivor game complete, we'll be looking to archive the ASMB 20th Anniversary event board in the near future. Props to everyone who participated in the anniversary event, and in particular everyone who popped in to reconnect with the community. June was a pretty great month here - just a refreshing combination of nostalgia, returning faces, and new energy. Anyone who wants to get one last word in should jump over before it closes shop. Some of the threads may be ported out to live boards and we'll probably anchor some sort of shout-out thread in this folder for anyone who missed that boat but still wants to say hi or reintroduce themselves within that ASMB context. But anyways - moving forward! I'm going to open the floor. Setting aside the anniversary itself, we're about a year into the last big site revamp. So how do you feel about UEMB? Where do you think we succeed, and where do we fall short? What could we do better? What should our "voice" and direction be? (I'll add some of my own thoughts in a follow-up reply, once I finish thinking them up and then type them with my fingers.)

I'd have to do some "Hero's Path" math, but I'm assuming at this point I have well over 100 hours into the game. A lot of game sessions began with specific tasks in mind ("I'm going to explore X") where I play for hours but never actually get to them and the subsequent two sessions begin with the same original goal. But I feel like I'm into more of the "end game" phase, at least with regards to the surface. I've got like 117/152 shrines, 400+ korok seeds, all the glyphs and sky-tablets, and the compendium is near full without buying any pictures, and my mindset I think has organically shifted towards exploring the spaces I've missed or returning to key landmarks I put off (akkala citadel, the labyrinths, coast/islands, things with gleeoks), and I'm trying to gauge how long to draw out remaining quests so I dont burn out on the rote exploring.

Ma'am, that's not for sale. This is my living room. THAT'S MY PURSE AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU

@wacky1980 we're about to level up our friend level, do you care about timing it together to pop lucky eggs?

The team/solo thing is making it extra hard to vote, I like parts of everyone's

I told you that you couldn't unhinge your jaw to swallow your prey whole!

The challenge is to do his job for him and come up with an interesting challenge.

#3 means he is imposing the actual limitations he had coming up with game challenges (to make them accessible to anyone) on the finale contestants for their fake challenge submissions.

happy birthday @LoverDemon!

happy pre-birthday!

hi jack

wtf I thought it was thursday

a vote for disco was a vote for cicadabear

i would spice it up and say 'you can't vote for yourself'

nope I tried to do a route today but the game crashed every time I started the route

welcome back, fam

true to life

I'm on summer work hours so I don't have to be in until 10 counterpoint is that regardless of when I have to work, there's a toddler here who follows the beat of her own drum

pretty sure it was someone who tracked zeni here with a friend because he was harassing them or something elsewhere.

good luck!

I hated the FB algorithm when I used it, there would be that one guy who'd post political trainwrecks and I'd do the old slow down to view the disaster here and there, then FB thought that's all I wanted to see. My personal Twitter figured out what I actually liked to mindlessly scroll, a weird combination of politics/elections twitter/video game whatevers. YouTube is kinda doing that drive-by thing right now that FB used to do, but I don't actually watch a variety of stuff on it so I can't say it makes a difference.
