I was using a pop-up toaster for the longest time but am considering switching to a toaster oven, they are so much more versatile and only take up a little more space on the counter

I sometimes consider this, too. Especially for like small-batch cooking. I wonder what the electricity usage difference is like between a nice toaster oven and like a full-size stove oven. Feels like a waste to pre-heat the oven if I want some texas toast.


edit: I'm sorry for sniping a page with toaster talk, but only a little sorry.

Kiss the Joycon to Kiss Zelda

I'm really bad at Mega Man games because the Wii was basically my first Nintendo system so I never played any MM when I was growing up. Would it be worth me checking out Mighty Gunvolt Burst?

Yes. It's tough but incredibly easy to beat if you need help (it gives you the ability to lower damage taken, knockback taken, not die instantly from spikes, etc) thanks to the mod buster mechanic

I think one of my joycons is loving up. Every other day or so I’ll get “your joycon is disconnected” from just playing the switch in handheld mode, forcing me to actually remove and reconnect the joycon for it to work again.

I just maxed out damage reduction, homing shots, and jump-dashing and coasted through every level with no problem.

One thing is that each boss is weak to a certain element, but it is not logical which element works on which boss. So just look up a cheat list or you'll get really frustrated.

Do you just have 1 set of joycons? It could be the joycon or the Switch itself.

Does nobody there try to import

I mean, especially when games are more expensive in Japan for no reason and this is region free

Most (not all) Switch games aren't much more expensive in Japan. Amazon JP has Splatoon for the equivalent of about $49.

I've actually been importing most of my games just for the hell of it, since even after shipping it's only a few dollars more.

Edit: Just in case anyone goes looking to import from Amazon JP, they are really funky about shipping rates on preorders until a day or two before release, so watch out for that.

SFANS apparently has one coming out in August. It's a lot smaller, and has more USB-C ports, but the the design means you'll have to balance out your Switch on something to give the air intakes clearance, and it surprisingly is not much cheaper than the first party dock.

I'll add this to the op if it actually comes out on schedule, but as with any GoFundMe I expect some amount of delays, though as you can see it's a finished commercial product, at least in prototype well enough along they've sent it to numerous reviewers.

85% of Canadians live within 70 miles of the American border, and thus have a population density equivalent to the Northeastern United States.

They're just too expensive here, because we haven't forgotten how our currencies used to be at parity only four years ago. Nobody up here except tools and fanboys feels they're worth $399 MSRP, plus tax.

I don't care how dense it is, you seeing some at one store does not represent an entire country.

Are there any deals on individual Joycons? There was an incident involving a beer and my right one is dead. I'll probably try to send it in and see if they'll at least give me a new one cheaper but I have a boys trip this weekend and Mario Kart is probably gonna go down. One of these being $50 is some silly poo poo though.

Once again I woke up today feeling fine up until I came to the realization that Splatoon 2 still did not exist yet, and then I became sad.

Every day this feedback loop intensifies until the day it finally comes out and I explode in excitement

It's kind of ironic because a toaster oven is great for everything that isn't actually toasting bread.

Heating up leftovers, if you are willing to deal with the additional time, is fantastic in a toaster oven.
