I'm thinking about buying a Switch. How much conflict rare earth can you find in one?



More serious: how well does the dock travel, can I throw it into a carry-on

I hadn't bought a Wii U and the number of games for that platform that I want to play that I don't know if they would ever come to the Switch is really holding me back from buying a Switch

Should I get a screen protector? I guess I will be using it undocked from time to time but that would probably just be around the house, so it doesn't seem like it would get the wear and tear that my cell phone screen gets.

I was also thinking about getting a carrying case but I think I would probably only take it on the go like twice a year and for that I feel like my laptop bag should be fine

Mario only wants to get close to Princess Peach so he can get off the plumber body and take her over to rule the mushroom kingdom. The entire time Bowser has known this and keeps trying to get her away from Mario before he can enact his plan

I think George RR Martin wrote a story with this premise?

Really, I wasn't paying attention during the gameplay footage but what happens to Mario's body at the moment of consciousness transfer

Zelda came in so I finally have something to play on my new Switch.

The Joycons feel weird and I feel like I have to contort my hands to switch from the sticks to the buttons on each side, and in Zelda I have to do that all the time. Will a Pro controller help with this

I had to buy a pro controller immediately.

Only time I've preferred the joycons was Tumble Seed because of their deadzone

I put the Joycons in the grip and the handle helped a little bit but it still feels weird.

Does anyone have experience with the 8bitdo controllers? They have some at Fry's and I'm tempted.

Oh man, if I need to get another controller, that NES30 Pro looks nice. I feel like I would be more at home with symmetrical sticks...

It is interesting how New Donk City is entirely populated by humans, with nary an ape to be seen. A history of settler colonialism, perhaps. The DK Incident was maybe just one last desperate attempt at resistance before being forced out in a Trail of Tears situation

Since the colors thing was mentioned at the same time as parental controls, I'm thinking it's a way for the parents to get you to stop playing without killing your game prior to saving. Instead you get a downgraded experience but you don't _have_ to stop without saving.

I watched that parental controls video on Father's Day and that moment when Bowser was imagining his son's game stopping actually made me legit tear up a little

KingSlime posted:

where did the screen protectors touch you lmao

you should try tempered glass screen protectors sometime, seriously they're really good, the ignorance in your post makes it clear that you haven't actually ever tried one!

my note 4 from 2015 has one, visibility and functionally are completely unhindered, and the screen below is pristine. Protector + case = mint condition for years with literally no detriment to function or visibility

resale money, bro, devices that are kept in pristine condition sell for a lot more than devices that have clearly been heavily used for years and some of us are smart little cookies who make good money off of our old devices whenever we buy new dumb children's toys or portable phones

I know theoretically that people resell their consoles but I am too lazy to go through with that. It took me like six months to get around to eBaying a broken PS3 and when I did, I ended up spending way too much on shipping that I made like 10 bucks. -90 bucks if you consider that I paid 100 for it and it broke a month later.

I have a note in my todo list to sell my Vita and it is 176 days overdue. I also have a PS2 that's been sitting in a closet for a decade

Like, are people really making preparations to properly sell their Switches in 2017

Edit: I did end up getting a tempered glass protector for my Switch. I just did it in my living room and had no dust issues

I think that adds to the whole drama around the SNES Mini, because they only mentioned NES games in their last announcement about that service. If they are going to purposefully hold off on SNES games for the Switch because of the Mini, that would be really dumb

ARMS has been decent enough fun. I am feeling pretty good about my decision to rent rather than buy it, though -- even though I have been binging on fighting games this month, ARMS is not hooking me the way Injustice 2 or Tekken did. I have tried both the motion and pad controls and each just feels a bit off in different ways. I'll probably keep putting more time into it and see if things change, but will most likely move onto Spla2n when that comes out
