Also, I hope everybody is having a nice tuesday! I don't know if anybody is doing anything today, but hopefully your day goes smoothly. I don't have much going on today, gotta take out trash for trash night but that's about it. I finished up King Dugan's Dungeon in DROD, now I just have to go back and complete all the secret rooms. I feel like I missed something though because when I finished the game, all that happened was I got a credits scroll talking about the remake process and thanking everybody, no actual epilogue or anything talking about what happened. Weird. Hopefully whatever I unlock by clearing all of the secret rooms will rectify that.



So hey, what's everybody up to?

Cool!

KCB is hoping that with her new job and resulting pay-increase that she'll be able to buy a switch sometime soon. I mean, first we're gonna make sure our bills and personal loans from friends are all paid in full but then we can look into getting a switch, maybe.


For people who own a switch, is it backwards compatible with the Wii U? If so, how does it play Wii U titles, can you take the switch pad out and it'll function like a wii u gamepad or would you need to hook a wii u gamepad up to it? Can you transfer save data over? Basically I'm wondering if we're going to need to keep all of the wii u stuff set up as well if we want to play wii u games. Mostly hyrule warriors, super mario 3D world, lego avengers, and some skylanders stuff we have because KCB and I love co-op games.

I say this every time they come up, but the Titanfall 2 Funko POPs are legitimately cool and pretty cheap. It's because the dead eyed pilots sit inside the awesome-looking mechs and you can't see them.

Aw, what a shame. Oh well, no biggie, that just means that I don't need to worry about eventually transferring saves and stuff over. Though I'll have to fumble around with finding a decent method to switch easily back and forth between the consoles, I'll play that part by ear though since I don't need to worry about it right now cause who knows when we'll get a switch haha

I don't actually think buying branded merch is all that weird. But if you want to explain it as a popular phenomenon, I would say that yes, consumerism is a more proximate cause than "bad parenting"

I don't mind people buying merch of stuff they like but I'm still gonna point and laugh at bad merch like ugly funko pops or those dumb tshirts that are just crossover fanarts put on shirts and it just kinda looks tacky imo, or shirts where they feel like they have to make sure to include a logo somewhere, ruining the art.

That mortal fear you will irrevocably gently caress up something about the installation coupled with immense relief when you hit the power switch and the thing actually turns on are the best parts about building your own PC.
