In Japan the Switch is "only" selling 25k units or so a week and it's clear the console is severly supply constrained. Crazy to think that the Wii was also incredibly supply constrained the first two years of its life.

Anyone know of any third party socks that are out already? I know Nyko has one coming out but I'm hoping to get one sooner than that.

definitely recommend using your own socks for anything Switch related.

Sooo I went to ShopKo with a friend as he needed to fill up a prescription and checked the electronics section for a Switch as a co-worker was looking for one. They had a tag so I brought it to cashier and during the checkout process it knocked the price by 20% down to $240.

Didn't question it and looked at the receipt afterward and saw they have the Switch marked as a clearance item so it automatically took 20% off. Anyway, worth checking ShopKo for Switches if you want a deal.

I always felt the glasses peripheral and how it worked with the Wii remote's camera 4 minutes into the video would be the next big thing for Nintendo and I'm sad it never came to be. It was a really, really cool idea.

Video's to be trusted, pretty sure the dude pitched the idea to Nintendo and got rejected and MS hired him for something Kinect related.

Stardew Valley

In three consecutive weeks, with Fire Emblem Warriors and Mario Odyssey rounding out October.

What a crazy first year this is turning out to be.

Yeah I don't think people realize how much of a powerhouse the Switch is in just 9 months of being released. Literally every previous Nintendo console and handheld has had an amazingly lovely first year; even the 3DS struggled for 9 months until MK7, Mario 3D Land and MH came out later that year. Before that point it was looking like the Vita was prepped to take a heaping dump all over it.

Within the first 9 months we'll have a brand new Zelda, Mario and a sequel to Xenoblade, along with Doom, Skyrim, a loving Mario XCOM and dozens of really solid indie games.

MAGA white supremacist chuds literally think Hitler Did Nothing Wrong and are somehow now a loud voice on Twitter and anything that suggests that Nazis are actually bad and should be killed is a leftist political statement pushed by Antifa and funded by George Soros.

So what should I be doing for the first days in stardew valley when? So far I've shot my load by noon after taking out like three trees, and I got the fishing rod which drained all my energy and I had to go home moving 2 mph because energy drinks aren't invented yet.

Not sure what else I should do outside this.

I'm like five days into Stardew and still don't have much of an idea what main things I should be doing. Went to the shop to see a bag I can't afford, found a board with everybody's birthdays and events, trying to clear the farm but get five trees in before my dude is tired.

What are the main things I should do this early? I need to start a list and not forget about it.

I think it's safe to say that XBX tried to be too much and didn't understand when to limit the systems they implemented.

The crafting system was an absolute slog and did little to make any one battle advantageous, getting the super weapons for Skells was tedious, trying to manage the 20+ characters from both an affinity and location standpoint was maddening, music ranged from pretty good to downright terrible (especially during cutscenes), on foot combat become incredibly pointless once you got your Skell, the varying skill trees felt too 'samey', most characters were an absolute bore, their aesthetics were just.. weird. I can go on.

There were some bright spots, though. The world itself was pretty fun to explore, the side quests for the various other alien races were neat, no fall damage was a welcomed change, managing quests was much easier thanks to a map and actual location of said quests, the main story could've been pretty neat if it wasn't trying to compete with the open world aspect of the game.

I'm really, really glad Monolith is going back to what made the original Xenoblade successful.

12+ hour flights generally have USB slots on the seats, I don't think you'd need a powerbank unless you want to charge the Switch off to the side. Hell, even most 4+ domestic flights have USB slots these days. Some have actual power outlets.

I'd recommend a USB-C cable if you don't already have one.

Sunshine was fun but definitely a game for its time as the formula has been improved, especially with the Galaxy games. Some of the challenge with Sunshine came with fighting frustrating level design, and it didn't help that a lot of shines were huge chores to get.
