Well it’s been a year or two since I’ve played through it, but you’re right the dark world is way harder. Running helps sometimes… hold down one of the buttons. Hold down the sword button to do this charged swing. Also, exploring isn’t just for heart pieces… eg, you get a magic medallion or something after tossing one of those skull-shaped rocks into a circle of stones in the water somewhere. There’s a little house you can buy potions from, but you need a jar. You can catch fairies with a butterfly net and you store them in a jar too iirc.
If there are too many enemies in the room, try and pick them off one at a time. Have patience though, this is just Link and he’s no Master Chief. If you think the dungeons are tough, wait till you get to the boss fights. There’s usually some trick to it you have to figure out

Gaming@beehaw.org•[No Spoilers] Anyone playing any horror games lately? Horror is definitely my favorite lane.
2·3 years agoThe Subnautica and Doom (2016) games were pretty fun, although truth be told the Subnautica games made me way more uncomfortable. There’s just something about being trapped hundreds of meters underwater, forced to worry about oxygen, drinking water, food, power supply, trying not to get eaten by giant creatures. I actually managed to kill a few leviathans toward the end, but it wasn’t easy:

Gaming@beehaw.org•What are peoples thoughts on games requiring always online? How does it affect your enjoyment of those games?
4·3 years agodefinitely a turnoff for me… years ago when I first discovered Diablo 2 on an old computer at a place I was house-sitting at, I had no internet whatsoever… nothing
that game kept me sane in so many ways
eventually several months later I managed to leech some web access from an old construction yard or something behind the place, but that’s a story for another time…
ffmpeg, if you don’t mind the command line… there’s only two options you really have to know for editing, -ss and -t , starting time and length, respectively… also don’t forget that first -i for input file name, output file name is always last
eg, ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:01:40 -t 00:05:00 output.mp4
that would clip out five minutes starting at a minute forty seconds in
