i mean yeah there's definitely situations where bluetooth style cans are preferable, like being out and about, but i pretty much only wear headphones while at home so i guess it never really applied to me

The game takes pains to make you feel bad about things you could have done differently.

For more specific info, you can hold your instruction manual up to the light if you got the physical copy. It helps but it doesn't magically get you the ending because the good ending lies past some of the most stupid hard platforming/shooting I've ever played.

It's not really all that bad. You can even give yourself a slight extra edge by letting Curly keep her Machine Gun.

If you wear over-ear headphones in public you're going to look like a goober whether they are wired or not

I enjoy the conversation where people discuss when playing a Switch in public whether the use of over-ear headphones will make any difference to how people are perceiving you.

I've tried using Bluetooth audio on my soundbar from an iPad and the sound was delayed by like, 1 whole second. Is that a thing with headphones?

with high quality bluetooth headphones the delay shouldn't be anywhere near that bad, at least in my experience. can't speak for lovely bluetooth earbuds or whatever.

The game should in theory pair you up with players on your level, though it depends on what's available.

Note that the starter weapons are by no means bad, and some players will continue to use them in endgame, at least in the original. Clothing is an edge that you don't get til later, mind.

Random string? Do you mean the thing you're supposed to put in your forums profile?

Re game chat chat : If you have any of the Turtle Beach wireless headsets or similar that have the ability to connect your phone along with their connections to the wireless base station, you can have a true wireless setup when docked.

With my old rear end PX5's, I have the optical out on the TV (can use 3.5mm to RCA as well) to the base station and connect the headphones via Bluetooth to my phone.

It outputs both game and phone along with being able to chat in whatever chat program you want to use.

It's your victory streak, every 5 points you get an exp bonus. Only applies to turf war. Winning gives you one point, losing docks you half a point. Max might be 15 but don't quote me on that

It goes at least up to 20 -- I got to 19.5 ("SUPERFRESH!") and fuckin' tanked back down to like 8 or 9. Once you hit 15, losses take two points away, but I think wins still get you a point.

Anyone who's played Cave Story know if it's possible to ferret out all the secret bits and endings and weapon combinations and such without using a guide? I bought it and got an ending, but it looks like there's more than that to it. I've really enjoyed it, can't believe it's been around this long and i've never played it before.

I hope you can find some kind of hint-walkthrough. There's no way a rational person is going to find all the secret weapons and true ending on their own.

headphones sound a lot better than speakers unless you have high end speakers and a room that's set up right so i use headphones 100% of the time for all games and movies

even if you don't care about sound quality, being able to tell what's going on around you in games is pretty cool

Some of us have headphones that cost more than the Switch

It seems like a lot of Bluetooth audio devices increase the buffer length depending on how strong they think the signal is. If I'm right next to my PC I get about 1/8 second of latency, just enough to piss me off. If I get far enough away for wireless to have a possible benefit over wired there's over a second of delay and it's totally unusable.

Whoa, talk about "how to turn someone off with a trailer." I barely had enough time to wonder if this game would support online multiplayer or not, and it was over. An 18-second trailer where 13 of those seconds are not of the game. What the gently caress!
