Just do what I did last night; get blackout drunk while on prescription painkillers and like magic when you wake up you'll have both installed on your Switch and no recollection of purchasing them! They must have been a gift! No guilt!

Luckily I am gifted with the lack of painkillers, alcohol, and also an empty bank account.

My issue with the Joycons is that sometimes around 3-5 feet away it's difficult for them regarding motion controls. sometimes it works fine, other times it's impossible to aim with it.

I'm unsure if I want to ship them for repair or not.

E: Regarding BoI, I love the game a lot but even on PC I don't have all of the millions of unlocks. The more unlocks you get, the more lovely the item pool gets and an awful player like me begins to struggle to find good runs. Doubt I will buy it for Switch but I hope it plays well for others.

I don't like Kickstand mode because I feel it's far too right and gives balance issues. I also don't like the joycons by themselves, feel too small in my giant meat hands, but that's more of an issue of mine, than one in general.

He is an ex esports guy who ran a "team" and apparently didnt pay out prize money or reimburse travel expenses to his competitors and lost favor in the community, I don't know. But he is also the guy was has been first in line for the console releases for all the systems since the Wii and some games as well. Has a guiness world record for being first in line for Nintendo releases. Anyway, another youtuber CND waited in line for a month for the Switch outside the NYC Nintendo store to be officially the first in line for the Switch in NA, and Triforce waited with him to "pass the torch". Well some other guy hung around them for a few weeks and was supposed to do something sketchy to them, but didn't and supposedly lost his flight home because of that, then he complained about not being able to go home and they felt bad even though he was supposed to swindle them, and they helped him raise money on gofundme but he asked for $1500 at first for a plane ticket, they confronted him and he lowered it to $500. Then they found out he had money and just wanted to raise money from the community in order to have a plane ticket to PAX east and buy himself a Switch (so lied about going home).


gently caress, I feel like a loser for knowing that... I'm done with youtube...

edit: and apparently the guy who con'd them out of money performed a sexual act to get a Switch... I dunno... allegations, rumors, etc.

He's a shithead who used to hold a big fighting game team who eventually lost power when the players finally got tired of his bullshit and went to other teams/sponsors.

Some achievements he's done are;

Feeding his fighting game athletes a healthy feast of Canned Ravioli
Taking winnings from his players to pay for rent/utilities/food because 'they come to his house and train there' which I guess can be valid, but this stuff is usually discussed BEFOREHAND
Losing his marriage because said rent was way too much to house so many people for such little earnings they got.
Accusing other teams [like Evil Geniuses] of taking his top players with better deals because they wanted to kill his EMP name
Sending a player overseas [maybe France or Japan, I forgot] with a one way plane ticket and leaving that guy stranded for a while.
Meeting an ex player to talk or something at some food joint and bouncing on the check.

I know he's done some other stuff as well like pick his nose and eat it on stream but honestly I don't have the mental capacity to remember this guy so well

E: oh yeah I also forgot he went to Jamaica and worked as some E-Sports man or some poo poo, had an office and everything. Why he's still not over there idk

Riding a horse in Zelda to explore feels like using a Skell in Xenoblade to explore in that it completely ruins the experience of getting distracted by the little things that make the game fun.

Splatoon was meant to be a brand new thing for Nintendo. Tons of maps would have costed tons of money for them and a big loss if the game wasn't successful so they released it with a few MP maps and singleplayer and built on it like mad when they realised the audience liked it.

Also a small handful of maps was actually a sorta good thing. it let you learn them much quicker and rotations let ones you liked happen more often.

Hmm okay, I was suspicious of even the $15+shipping on Amazon listings, but it was somewhat believable at least for Bomberman being that low on a secondary market. Didn't know it could be common for other games, too. Weird that they chose bomberman of all things to scam people, lol.

It sounds more believable than something like Zelda though.

If you are interested in more dong detection articles you can read what happened with the Lego MMO a bit further here

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-01-lego-mmo-development-dogged-by-dong-detection-software

Think there was a much longer article somewhere going in depth about what happened, but it eventually devolved into approval queues and mod teams having to check each individual submission for dongs, which led to a massive dong backlog when you just wanted to build cool non-dong related stuff.

Why not just have a trust flag? this way, repeat offenders immediately get denied while trusted ones still get placed into the mod queue?

So you know how every time you get a Paint Star, it ends the chapter with you floating over the giant obvious object that lets you progress to color it? Well when you get to the Green Star, there's nothing left on your map, so you float off the map for a second and come back and Huey is like "wow, that was weird but I'm glad we're back". Then when you return it to the square it forms a giant rainbow leading to Bowser's Castle and you're like "cool, let's head to the world map". But when you try to climb it on the map you fall, so you go back into the square thinking wtf and try to climb it again when everyone's like well I guess you're not going that way... until the Mario Kart 8 lobby music starts playing and Luigi comes bursting in on his kart. Then you ride on his kart to get to the castle while Rainbow Road music plays subtly in the background, it's amazing.
