I got all of the light roots first. Was easier to get all of them because you can follow the darkness. All shrines on the surface are directly above the light roots so it’s easy to know where the shrines should be.

The sky shrines I’m missing 2 I believe so just exploring and I’ll find em. I know where one is for sure so I’ll just be missing one shrine. You can also do hero’s journey to see where you have/haven’t travelled to see “oh I never went over there, probably a shrine missed”

Finally have had time to pick up TOTK again. Got all the light roots and want to get all the surface and sky shrines this weekend. Then I’ll finish all the side quests which will take a while. I 100%’d BOTW and going to attempt the same!

I just had my 2 year sobriety birthday this month and I completely agree with you, however, I do think the culture in America is shifting. Millennials aren’t drinking AS much and Gen Z much much less. The social pressure to drink is waning somewhat and I live in a state that has the most drinking per capita in the country.

There’s a lot of N/A beers that have gotten much better to give people quitting an alternative (like nicotine gum or patches). Long way to go but I do think it’s trending in a positive direction for people struggling. I understand this isn’t something some people feel comfortable with - I was very hesitant to try one for the first time after quitting because I wasn’t sure if it would spark the urge to drink real beer more but it’s been great for me.

I don’t see a world where alcohol is restricted as much as public smoking but having alternatives is a big thing for me to feel less awkward in drinking social settings where i still feel like I’m participating in a healthy way for me.

I’ll have to rewatch that scene but I’ve watched the episode twice. It wasn’t my impression that he accidentally stabbed himself but that M’Benga was pushed to defend himself and stabbed him, thus finishing his mission on J’Gal.

I know some people feel that M’Benga killing Dak’Rah felt disingenuous to Trek but I actually liked seeing that even though these characters are diplomatic and controlled have their limits of humanity and right and wrong and that some atrocities truly are unforgivable. The characters aren’t perfect and make mistakes and I like that - I feel like it’s a more accurate representation of humanities struggle for peace.

I agree completely. I don’t want all TOS characters to take over, at least for another 2-3 seasons. I’m loving M’Benga’s character and would hate for a McCoy to come in to replace him. There’s a nice opening for Scotty to come into the picture without any character currently in that role but I also want this series to stand on its own. I love how the writers have gone back to an episodic series. It just works so well for trek

Trouble with tribbles is a fun watch. Based my username on it!

Nope that was the one thing I needed help with at the end and there was one ruins I hadn’t visited that contributes a little towards completion. Like I said though, over 1000 hours easily on the game.

How are you liking TOTK so far?

Breath of the wild for me. The switch only counts up to 500 hrs and I know I’m probably double that. 100% the game on master mode with very very little help from guides. I just love that game man. TOTK is great too but my heart is still with BOTW
