Didn't your Jumpgate come with an ac adapter? Otherwise, yes, use the Nintendo adapter. I just tried putting my phone charger on it, and it asked for the official charger.

No mine didn’t come with one. Yours did? Just checked and it looks like their AC adapter is sold separately. I’ll put an order in for the Nintendo adapter today, thanks.

I keep overthinking things in Good Job!

The warehouse level, there's a package you need to get on a little shelf you can't walk to

Near it is a machine that I thought was one of the vending machines that shoots a can when you use it. The machine is unpowered

There's a plug near all this

So I meticulously cleared the area and set the machine so that the soda would shoot out and hit the package and knock it off

Only then did I realize it wasn't even a vending machine, it just does nothing and the actual way to solve it is just ram the package with a board lol

centrism is a hell of a drug

I am going to play Tales of Vesperia for the first time with the definitive edition, which is on sale for $20. The Tales of series is notorious for having a LOT of permanently missable content, and I understand Vesperia is no exception. My plan, however, is try and just not worry too much about it my first play through and save the 100% dreams for a future new game+. However, is there anything *big* that I should know going in? Anything on the scale, for example, of the following Tales of Symphonia spoiler: be nice to Zelos or else he will loving DIE?

There's nothing like that in the original release, at least. You can miss artes, major sidequests and bonus bosses, and equipment (one character's final weapon is a pretty famous one for how many times you can accidentally lock yourself out of it) but I don't think there's anything as major as an entire character or anything you can miss out on.

I played it on pc, and it is kind of neat and fun, if pretty hard at times, but the boss fights, both optional and the mandatory final one, are complete and utter garbage bullshit.

Quoting an old post of mine about my run in with the final boss. Spoilered, for those that might care about the end boss of a game from 2013.

quote:

The final boss of Convoy is broken bullshit. Multiple parts to blow off, lots of hard hitting weapons, he brings 4 loving minibosses with him, and apparently there's even more bs that happens, but I died and gave up before reaching that. gently caress whoever thought a weird shumpy enduro-boss was a good idea in game where you can't heal during a fight and only have a max of 4 moveable vehicles and one stationary one.

Thanks for all the kid-friendly recommendations. We have Kirby Star Allies already and he loves it. I am less enamored by it because the novelty of having a 6 year old boss me around wears off real quick, especially now that I'm homeschooling him. "No DAD, BEHIND ME!" Lots of sass and judgment until Dad revives everyone and saves the boss fight from being a wipe. I think we'll go with a "Mom plays the regular levels, Dad comes in for Bosses" rule to keep me sane.

I was shocked that he liked Bastion, death and loss are tough issues for him and he has a lot of strong emotions when those themes come up, so much so that most Disney movies are still a no-go for us because he can't get past the fact that one or more of the protagonist's parents are almost always dead. For whatever reason, the fact that pretty much everyone was dead in Bastion didn't seem to bug him in the slightest.

How did I forget to mention Tropical Freeze? It has funky Kong mode and is chock full of stuff to do.

Man. I remember once I used to love Disgea on the DS and thought I was falling love with a new series until the game decided to completely destroy any affection I had for it by suddenly introducing and insurmountable grind wall that wouldve taken me a hundred hours to get through a third of the way into the game. Never picked up any of the games since.

I forget what the game was called but my best friend/college roommate played this old PS2 JRPG with like over 1,000 hours on his save file. Every time I’d ask him about it he’d be like “oh dude it’s awesome after the game you unlock a dungeon with 10,000 levels and you can grind your characters and all their abilities to level 1,000 and then you can kill them and resurrect them as like kid versions of themselves with maxed stats and then level them all up again and restart them with even more maximum stats and then grind more of the dungeons and unlock more characters...” and just on and on like that. This was in 2009 and if he still owns a PS2 there is no way he isn’t booting it up once a month.

The main story of disgaea requires no grinding.

The postgame is all about figuring out creative ways of shooting your stats into he stratosphere using creative griding methods as fast as possible.

It was the main story that got me, a third of the way through the game it suddenly introduced a level that was so beyond the levels I was currently at it absolutely wouldve taken me hundreds of hours of grinding to make that level beatable.

This is absolutely not true. You must have misunderstood some importartant mechanics or something because the main story is just a normal srpg with no emphasis on grinding.

Besides, even the postgame requires nowhere near "hundreds of hours" to do it and that is all about maximizing stats.

Ok maybe I was just a dumb kid but I distinctly recall a level being super way above mine at some point and when I realized I might need to enter the 'special zone' to grind just to be high enough I went 'gently caress this' and dropped it. Maybe if I revisited it I'd realize what I did wrong.

Hello thread.

I hunger for Picross

Picross 4 seems to be on the horizon, but I was wondering what else was there. I checked out Murder by Numbers, but from what I've seen, it's nowhere near as engaging as a Phoenix Wright game story-wise, aaaand I kinda hate all the character designs.

Seriously, I need some Picross guys

Voxelgram is similar to Picross but 3D, it might scratch the itch. I believe it has a demo on Steam but not on Switch, if you want to check it out first.

Some people really, really enjoy watching numbers get bigger, and Disgaea is all about figuring out how to break the game so hard that the numbers don't fit in the text boxes correctly anymore.
