First time getting a quad bird kill! #Deadlock

This new Amiibo of the Link redesign looks so much better than in the game to me. Flattening out the textures gives it such a softer, more natural look.

An Amiibo figurine of the new young Link redesign from Ocarina of Time. He's sat on a tree stump with Navi the fairy landing on his hand. The new elements of his tunic are much more subtle and blended in than they appear in the game.

I guess it makes more sense that the rich old family's house is in the centre of the village, and the new site is on the edge! Maybe that's been bugging someone at Nintendo for 28 years 😅

It seems the House of Skulltula and the building site have been swapped over?

My main takeaway from the #Zelda direct tho... a green zelda-themed Switch 2 AND more Ocarina of Time #Lego?? Nintendo really want £600 off me huh

A new Zelda 40th anniversary Switch 2. The joy-cons are a forest green with Triforce details and a golden Triforce on the left.

New Lego set of Ocarina of Time adult Link riding Epona. It looks rad af

We've been spoiled by nearly 30 years of OoT-inspired art and this is erm, interesting

Princess Zelda from the courtyard scene. She kinda looks like an alien for some reason.

Link in particular seems really over designed. You can see why they'd want to add some details, but they seem to have gone with all of their ideas at once, and ended up with something overly busy but still kind of bland? The NPCs were allowed to keep more of the stylised N64 proportions.

Adult Link from the Ocarina of Time remake stands in the Temple of Time holding the Master Sword. His gloves, belts, boots and tunic-covering leather thing are all adorned with embossed patterns, buckles and extra details.

New #Zelda stuff today, Hyrule looks great and the smoothness of the movement and controls looks like it'll be a lot of fun to play! Can't help but think Link and Zelda themselves look pretty weird though.

Hey! Listen! Heading back to Hyrule for some more classic Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Zora's domain up next! www.twitch.tv/nikomus

If we're really pushing the boat out it'd be nice to find a whole cosmetic set too! bsky.app/profile/niko...

Niko @nikomus.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

It's quite a nice set! It would be useful if the emporium bundles took into account whether you already had some parts, I'd be much more likely to complete a set if they did.

Niko @nikomus.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

The Discord post about this says you get the Mandrake Hull from the emporium! No mention of doubloons this time though.

Quick UI edit on this one! I've definitely turned in a load of flags to the skeleton from muscle memory. You can't raise the opposing emissary during hourglass, so why should you be able to sell the flags to the wrong faction either?

000

Niko @nikomus.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

As a pirate representing the Guardians of Fortune.. The Reaper's Bones shouldn't accept flags from me.. So that I don't waste allegiance selling there out of habit 😅 #PirateExperience

A flag raised up to the Reaper's Bones skeleton at Port Merrick. Some onscreen UI replaces the usual sell prompt with "Cannot sell while being an opposing faction".

I've added an extra image to show where you could save this from on the Set Sail confirmation screen. Like the Reddit OP, I almost always sail with the same ship setup. If I'm not, I'll likely go through a completely different flow anyway like waiting for an invite, going to Steam/Xbox > Join Game.

Niko @nikomus.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

I saw a recent Reddit post bemoaning the number of clicks to get onto the boat in #SeaOfThieves. I had a rummage in my images and it seems this is something I was annoyed about just 10 seasons ago! Here's a concept for a Quick Sail menu item to get right into the action. #PirateExperience

Sea of Thieves Season Ten main menu. There are options for Start Game, Quick Sail (with High Seas, sloop icon, Farore's Wind, Guild Crew listed), Sign Out and Exit to Desktop.

Sea of Thieves Set Sail confirmation screen showing game mode, ship type and crew. There's an added Left Trigger: Save as Quick Sail option added at the bottom of the screen.

An update to Twitch Drops: going forward, our main monthly Drops selection will include a new hero item for six hours of watch time. Then, after at least 12 months have passed, hero items will appear in Larinna's Black Market, costing Doubloons. Tune in to get them first!

Sea of Thieves season 20 Hero Drops. Indigo Tides Cutlass (a sword with a purple splash running down its blade): Available June. Feline Bandana (a purple bandana with a pair of cat ears on it): Available July. Luminant Waters Lantern (an orb containing a Jellyfish, held up by a simple stick tied to rope that wraps around the orb): Available August.

Do we really need FOMO time-limited events in hecking Donkey Kong? I don't even have a Switch 2 yet 😕

Ever thrown water back into your own boat? It's hard to keep track of whether you have a full bucket during a battle! It would be nice to have a reminder of the bucket's state on screen to help make more last second catches rather than embarrassing self sinks 😅 #SeaOfThieves #PirateExperience

I'm home from #SoTFest, so it's time to blow some people up and steal their treasure! 🤪 www.twitch.tv/nikomus

A cheery thumbs up from me on the stream as I look out over my sloop parked at the outpost dock.

Had a brilliant couple days up at #SoTFest! I can't wait to see the beautiful ship set we designed make it into the game

Five Rare staff sit on the stage in a panel hosted by Tizzy Tam. There's a huge banana made of balloons behind them.

A dark blue and white Lego megalodon emerges from a sea of blue bricks.

I'm stood next to Rare Creative Director Mike Chapman!

Looking out on the community football match from the dugout. There are players from both the red community team and the blue Rare team on the pitch.

Niko @nikomus.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Taking the coastal route to #SoTFest - see you there!

A coastal train track right on the edge of the sea. Beyond a stone wall, the pale blue water stretches as far as the eyes can see, until the horizon fades out into the sky.

Nice to finally get the ol' boat in for a service

A sloop wedged into the dry dock at Port Merrick. It doesn't really fit and the bow sprit is sticking up into the air.

It's quite likely to be coming home with Harry Kane! #footy

In any case, have YOU ever sunk yourself throwing water back in? If you have I wanna see the clip! @seaofthieves.com

000

By far the most common cause is just forgetting when task switching in the heat of battle though. In web dev we'd probably call this a cognitive #accessibility issue of expecting a user to remember non-visible information over time.

100

Your bucket can also get into an unexpected state from accidentally cancelling the throw by sprinting or some other action, so you think it's empty when it isn't. Less commonly, the bucket throw can reg and also not empty, and an indicator might make this clearer.
